< Matthew 5 >
1 When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain and sat down. His disciples came to Him,
ιδων δε τουσ οχλουσ ανεβη εισ το οροσ και καθισαντοσ αυτου προσηλθον αυτω οι μαθηται αυτου
2 and He began to teach them, saying:
και ανοιξασ το στομα αυτου εδιδασκεν αυτουσ λεγων
3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
μακαριοι οι πτωχοι τω πνευματι οτι αυτων εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων
4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
μακαριοι οι πενθουντεσ οτι αυτοι παρακληθησονται
5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
μακαριοι οι πραεισ οτι αυτοι κληρονομησουσιν την γην
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
μακαριοι οι πεινωντεσ και διψωντεσ την δικαιοσυνην οτι αυτοι χορτασθησονται
7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
μακαριοι οι ελεημονεσ οτι αυτοι ελεηθησονται
8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
μακαριοι οι καθαροι τη καρδια οτι αυτοι τον θεον οψονται
9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.
μακαριοι οι ειρηνοποιοι οτι αυτοι υιοι θεου κληθησονται
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
μακαριοι οι δεδιωγμενοι ενεκεν δικαιοσυνησ οτι αυτων εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων
11 Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.
μακαριοι εστε οταν ονειδισωσιν υμασ και διωξωσιν και ειπωσιν παν πονηρον ρημα καθ υμων ψευδομενοι ενεκεν εμου
12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets before you.
χαιρετε και αγαλλιασθε οτι ο μισθοσ υμων πολυσ εν τοισ ουρανοισ ουτωσ γαρ εδιωξαν τουσ προφητασ τουσ προ υμων
13 You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its savor, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.
υμεισ εστε το αλασ τησ γησ εαν δε το αλασ μωρανθη εν τινι αλισθησεται εισ ουδεν ισχυει ετι ει μη βληθηναι εξω και καταπατεισθαι υπο των ανθρωπων
14 You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.
υμεισ εστε το φωσ του κοσμου ου δυναται πολισ κρυβηναι επανω ορουσ κειμενη
15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket. Instead, they set it on a stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.
ουδε καιουσιν λυχνον και τιθεασιν αυτον υπο τον μοδιον αλλ επι την λυχνιαν και λαμπει πασιν τοισ εν τη οικια
16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
ουτωσ λαμψατω το φωσ υμων εμπροσθεν των ανθρωπων οπωσ ιδωσιν υμων τα καλα εργα και δοξασωσιν τον πατερα υμων τον εν τοισ ουρανοισ
17 Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them.
μη νομισητε οτι ηλθον καταλυσαι τον νομον η τουσ προφητασ ουκ ηλθον καταλυσαι αλλα πληρωσαι
18 For I tell you truly, until heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.
αμην γαρ λεγω υμιν εωσ αν παρελθη ο ουρανοσ και η γη ιωτα εν η μια κεραια ου μη παρελθη απο του νομου εωσ αν παντα γενηται
19 So then, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do likewise will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever practices and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
οσ εαν ουν λυση μιαν των εντολων τουτων των ελαχιστων και διδαξη ουτωσ τουσ ανθρωπουσ ελαχιστοσ κληθησεται εν τη βασιλεια των ουρανων οσ δ αν ποιηση και διδαξη ουτοσ μεγασ κληθησεται εν τη βασιλεια των ουρανων
20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
λεγω γαρ υμιν οτι εαν μη περισσευση η δικαιοσυνη υμων πλειον των γραμματεων και φαρισαιων ου μη εισελθητε εισ την βασιλειαν των ουρανων
21 You have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not murder’ and ‘Anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’
ηκουσατε οτι ερρεθη τοισ αρχαιοισ ου φονευσεισ οσ δ αν φονευση ενοχοσ εσται τη κρισει
22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, ‘Raca,’ will be subject to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be subject to the fire of hell. (Geenna )
εγω δε λεγω υμιν οτι πασ ο οργιζομενοσ τω αδελφω αυτου εικη ενοχοσ εσται τη κρισει οσ δ αν ειπη τω αδελφω αυτου ρακα ενοχοσ εσται τω συνεδριω οσ δ αν ειπη μωρε ενοχοσ εσται εισ την γεενναν του πυροσ (Geenna )
23 So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you,
εαν ουν προσφερησ το δωρον σου επι το θυσιαστηριον και εκει μνησθησ οτι ο αδελφοσ σου εχει τι κατα σου
24 leave your gift there before the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.
αφεσ εκει το δωρον σου εμπροσθεν του θυσιαστηριου και υπαγε πρωτον διαλλαγηθι τω αδελφω σου και τοτε ελθων προσφερε το δωρον σου
25 Reconcile quickly with your adversary, while you are still on the way to court. Otherwise, he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison.
ισθι ευνοων τω αντιδικω σου ταχυ εωσ οτου ει εν τη οδω μετ αυτου μηποτε σε παραδω ο αντιδικοσ τω κριτη και ο κριτησ σε παραδω τω υπηρετη και εισ φυλακην βληθηση
26 Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.
αμην λεγω σοι ου μη εξελθησ εκειθεν εωσ αν αποδωσ τον εσχατον κοδραντην
27 You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’
ηκουσατε οτι ερρεθη ου μοιχευσεισ
28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
εγω δε λεγω υμιν οτι πασ ο βλεπων γυναικα προσ το επιθυμησαι αυτην ηδη εμοιχευσεν αυτην εν τη καρδια αυτου
29 If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. (Geenna )
ει δε ο οφθαλμοσ σου ο δεξιοσ σκανδαλιζει σε εξελε αυτον και βαλε απο σου συμφερει γαρ σοι ινα αποληται εν των μελων σου και μη ολον το σωμα σου βληθη εισ γεενναν (Geenna )
30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to depart into hell. (Geenna )
και ει η δεξια σου χειρ σκανδαλιζει σε εκκοψον αυτην και βαλε απο σου συμφερει γαρ σοι ινα αποληται εν των μελων σου και μη ολον το σωμα σου βληθη εισ γεενναν (Geenna )
31 It has also been said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’
ερρεθη δε οτι οσ αν απολυση την γυναικα αυτου δοτω αυτη αποστασιον
32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, brings adultery upon her. And he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
εγω δε λεγω υμιν οτι οσ αν απολυση την γυναικα αυτου παρεκτοσ λογου πορνειασ ποιει αυτην μοιχασθαι και οσ εαν απολελυμενην γαμηση μοιχαται
33 Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.’
παλιν ηκουσατε οτι ερρεθη τοισ αρχαιοισ ουκ επιορκησεισ αποδωσεισ δε τω κυριω τουσ ορκουσ σου
34 But I tell you not to swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;
εγω δε λεγω υμιν μη ομοσαι ολωσ μητε εν τω ουρανω οτι θρονοσ εστιν του θεου
35 or by the earth, for it is His footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.
μητε εν τη γη οτι υποποδιον εστιν των ποδων αυτου μητε εισ ιεροσολυμα οτι πολισ εστιν του μεγαλου βασιλεωσ
36 Nor should you swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black.
μητε εν τη κεφαλη σου ομοσησ οτι ου δυνασαι μιαν τριχα λευκην η μελαιναν ποιησαι
37 Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ Anything more comes from the evil one.
εστω δε ο λογοσ υμων ναι ναι ου ου το δε περισσον τουτων εκ του πονηρου εστιν
38 You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.’
ηκουσατε οτι ερρεθη οφθαλμον αντι οφθαλμου και οδοντα αντι οδοντοσ
39 But I tell you not to resist an evil person. If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also;
εγω δε λεγω υμιν μη αντιστηναι τω πονηρω αλλ οστισ σε ραπισει επι την δεξιαν σιαγονα στρεψον αυτω και την αλλην
40 if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well;
και τω θελοντι σοι κριθηναι και τον χιτωνα σου λαβειν αφεσ αυτω και το ιματιον
41 and if someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.
και οστισ σε αγγαρευσει μιλιον εν υπαγε μετ αυτου δυο
42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.
τω αιτουντι σε διδου και τον θελοντα απο σου δανεισασθαι μη αποστραφησ
43 You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor’ and ‘Hate your enemy.’
ηκουσατε οτι ερρεθη αγαπησεισ τον πλησιον σου και μισησεισ τον εχθρον σου
44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
εγω δε λεγω υμιν αγαπατε τουσ εχθρουσ υμων ευλογειτε τουσ καταρωμενουσ υμασ καλωσ ποιειτε τοισ μισουσιν υμασ και προσευχεσθε υπερ των επηρεαζοντων υμασ και διωκοντων υμασ
45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
οπωσ γενησθε υιοι του πατροσ υμων του εν τοισ ουρανοισ οτι τον ηλιον αυτου ανατελλει επι πονηρουσ και αγαθουσ και βρεχει επι δικαιουσ και αδικουσ
46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Do not even tax collectors do the same?
εαν γαρ αγαπησητε τουσ αγαπωντασ υμασ τινα μισθον εχετε ουχι και οι τελωναι το αυτο ποιουσιν
47 And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even Gentiles do the same?
και εαν ασπασησθε τουσ φιλουσ υμων μονον τι περισσον ποιειτε ουχι και οι τελωναι ουτωσ ποιουσιν
48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
εσεσθε ουν υμεισ τελειοι ωσπερ ο πατηρ υμων ο εν τοισ ουρανοισ τελειοσ εστιν
