Matthai 5
1 Thlang kqeng ce a huh awh, tlang na kai nawh ngawi hy, cawh a hubatkhqi ce a venna law uhy.
And seeing the multitudes, he went up to a mountain: and when he was seated, his disciples came to him:
2 Cekcoengawh a hubatkhqi ce vemyihna cawngpyi khqi hy:
And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
3 Kawlung ak khawdeng thlangkhqi taw ami zoseen hy, kawtih khan qam taw a mingmih a koe ni.
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Kawset ing ak kokhqi taw ami zoseen hy, kawtih a mingngaih qep kaw.
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5 Kaw ak dungkhqi taw ami zoseen hy, kawtih khawmdek qo pang kawm uh.
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Dyngnaak ce buh a myihna cawi nawh tui a myihna ak hoetkhqi taw ami zoseen hy, kawtih amik phoen phyi kaw.
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness: for they shall be filled.
7 Thlang qeenkhaw ak ngaikhqi taw ami zoseen hy, kawtih qeennaak ce hu lawt kawm uh.
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Kawlung ak ciimkhqi taw ami zoseen hy, kawtih Khawsa ce hu kawm uh.
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
9 Qoepnaak ak saikhqi taw ami zoseen hy, kawtih Khawsa cakhqi tinawh khy kawm uh.
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called children of God.
10 Dyngnaak awh thekhanaak ak zawkkhqi taw ami zoseen hy, kawtih khawk khan taw a mingmih a koe ni.
Blessed are they who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Thlangkhqi ing kai ak camawh ni phep khqi uhy, ni thekha nak khqi uhy, amak thym na awihche soepkep ing ani zyih khqi awh ce nami zoseen hy.
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Ym u nawhtaw namik kawzeel sak uh, Ikawtih nangmih aham khawkkhan awh kutdo ak bau soeih awm hy, cemyihna ni nangmih nami awm hlan awhkaw tawnghakhqi awm a mina thekhanaak hawhy.
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
13 Nangmih taw khawmdek ci na awm u hyk ti. Cehlai ci ing a paih hawh awhtaw ikawmyihna a alnaak voel kaw? khawng nawh thlang ngawh khaw ing leh aham doeng kaataw, kawna awm phu am ta voel hy.
Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt hath lost its savour, how shall it be salted? it is then good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot by men.
14 Nangmih taw khawmdek vangnaak na awm uhyk ti. Tlang awhkhaw ak awm taw ikaw ingawm am chungdah thai hy.
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
15 Thlang ing mai a vang awh, dawn ing am myk nawh, maihvang ami taaknaak khawi awh ni ami taak, cawh ni ipkhui awhkaw ak awmkhqi boeih ce ak coei.
Neither do men light a lamp, and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand; and it giveth light to all that are in the house.
16 Cemih lawtna, nangmih a them leek sai ce thlang ing a huh awh khawkkhan nakaw ak awm nangmih a Pa ce ami kyihcahnaak thai kaw, nami vangnaak ce thlang amik huh awh vang lah seh.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
17 Anaa awi aw am awh tawnghakhqik awi hqe aham kai ve law hy tinawh koeh poek uh; hqe aham am law nyng ak soep sak hamna ni ka law.
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 Awitak ka nik kqawn peek khqi, khawmdek ingkaw khan ang khum hlan dy, anaa awi awhkaw a dek pynoet ca awm, calung pynoet ca awm ik-oeih soepkep a cup hlan dy taw am qeng tikaw.
For verily I say to you, Till heaven and earth shall pass away, one jot or one tittle shall by no means pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19 A u ingawm vawhkaw awipeek ak zawi cakhqi ak khui awhkaw pynoet ce eek nawh thlak chang awm eek lawt aham am cuuk awhtaw anih ce khawkkhan awh ak zawi soeih na awm kaw, cehlai a u ingawm vemyihkhqi boeih ve hquut nawh thlak chang awm a cawngpyi awhtaw anih ce khawk khan awh ak bau soeih na awm kaw.
Whoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 Ka nik kqawn peek khqi, nangmih ama dyngnaak ing Farasikhqi ingkaw caqeekungkhqi a dyngnaak ce ama poe voelh awhtaw khawkkhan awh am lut thai ti kawp uk ti.
For I say to you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no way enter into the kingdom of heaven.
21 “Syn awh, thlang koeh him, u awm thlang ak him taw awidengnaak kqih awm ce hu kaw,” tinawh ami nak kqawn ce za hawh u hyk ti.
Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
22 Cehlai, ka nik kqawn peek khqi, a u awm a koeinaaa ak khan awh kaw ak so taw awidengnaak ce hu kaw. A u awm a koeinaa ce “Thlak zoe” ak tinaak taw Sanhedrin awh awidengna awm kaw. A u awm thlang ce, 'thlak qaw!' ak tinaak taw hell mai kqih awm ce zawk kaw. (Geenna g1067)
But I say to you, That whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. (Geenna g1067)
23 Cedawngawh bawkthang awh ik-oeih pek aham nami law pyi awh na koeinaa ing nak khan awh ak kaw am law hy tice na sim awhtaw,
Therefore if thou shalt bring thy gift to the altar, and there remember that thy brother hath any thing against thee;
24 bawkthang a haiawh na themkhqi ce cehta nawh hlat cang. Na koeinaa ingqawi qoepnaak ce na sai coengawh cet nawhtaw na them ce pe kawp ti.
Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
25 Awidengnaak awh taza anik cawikung na qaal ingqawi lam nani ceh haih tloek awh ang tawnnna qoepnaak sai. Cemyih am awhtaw na qaal ing nang ce awidengnaak kung na a ni khyn coengawh awidengkung ing nang ce boei a venawh ni pe patoe kaw, anih ing nang ce thawngim na nik thla kaw.
Agree with thy adversary quickly, while thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
26 Awitak ka nik kqawn peek khqi, laiba a boeih dy na sah hlan khui taw thawngim awhkawng am loet kawp ti.
Verily I say to thee, Thou shalt by no means come out from there, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
27 “Na samphaih aham am awm hy”, tinawh amik kqawn awi ce za hawh uhyk ti.
Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
28 Cehlai, ka nik kqawn peek khqi, u ingawm nu pynoet ce hyynaak mik ing a toek awhtaw, ak kawlung khuiawh cawhkaw nu ak khan awh ce samphaih hawh hy.
But I say to you, That whoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
29 Nak tang mik ing a ni thawlh sak awhtaw, koeih nawh khawng; na pum boeih ing hell khuina nang tlaak anglakawh na pum awh ik-oeih pynoet na taal ce nep bet hy. (Geenna g1067)
And if thy right eye shall cause thee to sin, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
30 Nak tangkut ing a ni thawlh sak awhtaw tlyk boet nawh khawng. Na pum awhkaw ik-oeih pynoet na taal ce nep bet hy. (Geenna g1067)
And if thy right hand shall cause thee to sin, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
31 “U ingawm a zu ce a ma awhtaw, zu manaak ca ce pe seh” tinawh amik kqawn awi ce a na awm hawh hy.
It hath been said, Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
32 Cehlai ka nik kqawn peek khqi, a va ak khan awh a thawlh awh ti kaana, u ingawm a zu ce a ma awhtaw a zu ce samphaih sak hy, cekcoengawh u ingawm thlang a zu ma ak zu naak taw samphaih na awm hy.
But I say to you, That whoever shall put away his wife, except for the cause of immorality, causeth her to commit adultery: and whoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
33 Cekcoeng bai awh, 'nak awisa ce koeh hqe, Bawipa venawh nak awisa ce cup sak lah', tinawh syn awh ami nak kqawn awm za hawh u hyk ti.
Again, ye have heard that it hath been said to them of old time, Thou shalt not swear falsely, but shalt perform to the Lord thy oaths:
34 Cehlai, ka nik kqawn peek khqi, awi koeh sa qoe qoe uh: khawkkhan phoei nawh awi koeh sa, kawtih khawkkhan taw Khawsa a ngawihdoelh ni;
But I say to you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God’s throne:
35 khawmdek awm phoei unawh awi koeh sa uh, kawtih khawmdek awm a khaw a soengnaak ni; Jerusalem awm phoei unawh awi koeh sa uh, kawtih Jerusalem taw sangpahrang boei a khawk bau ni.
Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
36 Nami lu phoei unawh awi koeh sa uh, kawtih na lu awhkaw na lumsam pynoet ca awm am baawk, am lee sak thai hyk ti.
Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
37 Ak thym ce 'thym hy' ti unawh taw amak thym ce 'am thym hy' ti mai uh; ve ak khan awh awi ak law bai taw them amak leek hawh ni.
But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatever is more than these cometh of evil.
38 'Mik ang zyng awh mik, haa ang zyng awh haa', tinawh awi amik nak kqawn awm za hawh u hyk ti.
Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39 Cehlai ka nik kqawn peek khqi, thlakche ce koeh oelh uh. Nak tang ben na beeng awh thlang ing anik beih awhtaw ak chang ben na beeng ce awm dun pe.
But I say to you, That ye resist not evil: but whoever shall strike thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 Thlang ing na angki ce lawh aham a ngaih a dawngawh awi a ni oelh awhtaw, hi awm peek sih mai.
And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.
41 Thlang ing meng oet a ni qyt ngah ngah awhtaw meng hih dy awh thak.
And whoever shall compel thee to go one mile, go with him two.
42 Thlang ing ik-oeih a thoeh awhtaw pe mai, na venawh ik-oeih pu aham ak law ce koeh hawi taak.
Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
43 “Na imceng ce lungna nawhtaw na qaal cetaw sawh na,” tinawh qee hyt awi ak awm ce zahawh u hyk ti.
Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thy enemy.
44 Cehlai ka nik kqawn peek khqi, nami qaal ce lung law na uh, nangmih awihche ing anik zyi thlangkhqi ce zoseenaak pe law uh; nangmih anik sawhnaakkhqi aham them leek sai law pe uh,
But I say to you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them who despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45 cawh ni khawk khan awh ak awm nangmih a Pa a cakhqi na nami awm hly. Anih ingtaw thlakche ingkaw thlakleek ak khan awh khaw ang myih na law sak nawh, thlakdyng ingkaw thlakthawlh ak khan awh awm khaw ang myih na aa sak hy.
That ye may be the children of your Father who is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 Nangmih anik lungnaakkhqi doeng nami lungnaak mantaw ikaw kutdo nu nami huh kaw? Mangmu ak cawikhqi ingza cemyihce am sai lawt uhy na ti nawh nu?
For if ye love them who love you, what reward have ye? do not even the tax collectors the same?
47 Na koeinaa doeng na ym mantaw, thlak chang anglakawh na leeknaak bet ikaw a awm? Lukih thlangkhqi ingza cemyih ce am sai uhy na ti nawh nu?
And if ye greet your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the tax collectors so?
48 Khawkkhan nakaw ak awm nangmih a Pa a soep lawt a myihna nangmih awm soep lawt lah uh.
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.
