马太福音 5
1 耶稣看见这许多的人，就上了山，既已坐下，门徒到他跟前来，
On seeing the crowds of people, Jesus went up the hill; and, when he had taken his seat, his disciples came up to him;
2 他就开口教训他们，说：
and he began to teach them, saying:
3 虚心的人有福了！ 因为天国是他们的。
‘Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 哀恸的人有福了！ 因为他们必得安慰。
Blessed are the mourners, for they will be comforted.
5 温柔的人有福了！ 因为他们必承受地土。
Blessed are the gentle, for they will inherit the earth.
6 饥渴慕义的人有福了！ 因为他们必得饱足。
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.
7 怜恤人的人有福了！ 因为他们必蒙怜恤。
Blessed are the merciful, for they will find mercy.
8 清心的人有福了！ 因为他们必得见 神。
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
9 使人和睦的人有福了！ 因为他们必称为 神的儿子。
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
10 为义受逼迫的人有福了！ 因为天国是他们的。
Blessed are those who have been persecuted in the cause of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “人若因我辱骂你们，逼迫你们，捏造各样坏话毁谤你们，你们就有福了！
‘Blessed are you when people insult you, and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil lies about you because of me.
12 应当欢喜快乐，因为你们在天上的赏赐是大的。在你们以前的先知，人也是这样逼迫他们。”
Be glad and rejoice, because your reward in heaven will be great; this is the way they persecuted the prophets who lived before you.
13 “你们是世上的盐。盐若失了味，怎能叫它再咸呢？以后无用，不过丢在外面，被人践踏了。
‘You are salt for the world. But if salt becomes tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, but is thrown away, and trampled underfoot.
14 你们是世上的光。城造在山上是不能隐藏的。
It is you who are the light of the world. A town that stands on a hill cannot be hidden.
15 人点灯，不放在斗底下，是放在灯台上，就照亮一家的人。
People do not light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lamp-stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house.
16 你们的光也当这样照在人前，叫他们看见你们的好行为，便将荣耀归给你们在天上的父。”
Let your light so shine before the eyes of others so that, seeing your good actions, they will praise your Father who is in heaven.
17 “莫想我来要废掉律法和先知。我来不是要废掉，乃是要成全。
‘Do not think that I have come to do away with the Law or the prophets; I have not come to do away with them, but to complete them.
18 我实在告诉你们，就是到天地都废去了，律法的一点一画也不能废去，都要成全。
For I tell you, until the heavens and the earth disappear, not even the smallest letter, nor one stroke of a letter, will disappear from the Law until all is done.
19 所以，无论何人废掉这诫命中最小的一条，又教训人这样做，他在天国要称为最小的。但无论何人遵行这诫命，又教训人遵行，他在天国要称为大的。
Whoever, therefore, breaks one of these commandments, even the least of them, and teaches others to do so, will be the least esteemed in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps them, and teaches others to do so, will be esteemed great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 我告诉你们，你们的义若不胜于文士和法利赛人的义，断不能进天国。”
Indeed I tell you that, unless you obey God’s commands better than of the teachers of the Law, and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
21 “你们听见有吩咐古人的话，说：‘不可杀人’；又说：‘凡杀人的难免受审判。’
‘You have heard that to our ancestors it was said – “You must not commit murder,” and “Whoever commits murder will be brought to trial.”
But I say to you that anyone who is angry at their brother or sister will be brought to trial; and whoever insults their brother or sister will be brought before the High Council, while whoever calls them a fool will be in danger of the fires of Gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
23 所以，你在祭坛上献礼物的时候，若想起弟兄向你怀怨，
Therefore, when presenting your gift at the altar, if even there you remember that your brother or sister has something against you,
24 就把礼物留在坛前，先去同弟兄和好，然后来献礼物。
leave your gift there, before the altar, go and be reconciled to them, first, then come and present your gift.
25 你同告你的对头还在路上，就赶紧与他和息，恐怕他把你送给审判官，审判官交付衙役，你就下在监里了。
Be ready to make friends with your opponent, even when you meet them on your way to the court; otherwise they might hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the judicial officer, and you will be thrown into prison.
26 我实在告诉你，若有一文钱没有还清，你断不能从那里出来。”
I tell you, you will not come out until you have paid the last cent.
27 “你们听见有话说：‘不可奸淫。’
‘You have heard that it was said – “You must not commit adultery.”
28 只是我告诉你们，凡看见妇女就动淫念的，这人心里已经与她犯奸淫了。
But I say to you that anyone who looks at a woman and desires her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
If your right eye causes you to sin, take it out and throw it away. It would be best for you to lose one part of your body, and not to have the whole of it thrown into Gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
And, if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It would be best for you to lose one part of your body, and not to have the whole of it go down to Gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
31 “又有话说：‘人若休妻，就当给她休书。’
‘It was also said – “Let anyone who divorces his wife serve her with a notice of separation.”
32 只是我告诉你们，凡休妻的，若不是为淫乱的缘故，就是叫她作淫妇了；人若娶这被休的妇人，也是犯奸淫了。”
But I say to you that anyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of some serious sexual sin, leads to her committing adultery; while anyone who marries her after her divorce is guilty of adultery.
33 “你们又听见有吩咐古人的话，说：‘不可背誓，所起的誓总要向主谨守。’
Again, you have heard that our ancestors were told – “Do not break your oaths, keep your vows to the Lord.”
34 只是我告诉你们，什么誓都不可起。不可指着天起誓，因为天是 神的座位；
But I say to you that you must not swear at all, either by heaven, since that is God’s throne,
35 不可指着地起誓，因为地是他的脚凳；也不可指着耶路撒冷起誓，因为耶路撒冷是大君的京城；
or by the earth, since that is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, since that is the city of the Great King.
36 又不可指着你的头起誓，因为你不能使一根头发变黑变白了。
Nor should you swear by your head, since you cannot make a single hair either white or black.
37 你们的话，是，就说是；不是，就说不是；若再多说就是出于那恶者。”
Let your words be simply “Yes” or “No”; anything beyond this comes from what is evil.
38 “你们听见有话说：‘以眼还眼，以牙还牙。’
‘You have heard that it was said – “An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.”
39 只是我告诉你们，不要与恶人作对。有人打你的右脸，连左脸也转过来由他打；
But I say to you that you must not resist those who wrong you; but, if anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other to them also.
40 有人想要告你，要拿你的里衣，连外衣也由他拿去；
If someone sues you for your shirt, let them have your cloak as well.
41 有人强逼你走一里路，你就同他走二里；
If you are forced to carry a soldier’s pack for one mile, carry it two.
42 有求你的，就给他；有向你借贷的，不可推辞。”
Give to anyone who asks and, if someone wants to borrow from you, do not turn them away.
43 “你们听见有话说：‘当爱你的邻舍，恨你的仇敌。’
You have heard that it was said – “You must love your neighbour and hate your enemy.”
44 只是我告诉你们，要爱你们的仇敌，为那逼迫你们的祷告。
But what I tell you is this: love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you,
45 这样就可以作你们天父的儿子；因为他叫日头照好人，也照歹人；降雨给义人，也给不义的人。
so that you may become children of your Father who is in heaven; for he causes his sun to rise on bad and good alike, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous.
46 你们若单爱那爱你们的人，有什么赏赐呢？就是税吏不也是这样行吗？
For, if you love only those who love you, what reward will you have? Even the tax collectors do this!
47 你们若单请你弟兄的安，比人有什么长处呢？就是外邦人不也是这样行吗？
And, if you only welcome your brothers and sisters, what are you doing more than others? Even the Gentiles do this!
48 所以，你们要完全，像你们的天父完全一样。”
You, then, must become perfect – as your heavenly Father is perfect.
