Matthew 5
1 When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain and sat down. His disciples came to Him,
anantaraṁ sa jananivahaṁ nirīkṣya bhūdharopari vrajitvā samupaviveśa|
2 and He began to teach them, saying:
tadānīṁ śiṣyeṣu tasya samīpamāgateṣu tena tebhya eṣā kathā kathyāñcakre|
3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
abhimānahīnā janā dhanyāḥ, yataste svargīyarājyam adhikariṣyanti|
4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
khidyamānā manujā dhanyāḥ, yasmāt te sāntvanāṁ prāpsanti|
5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
namrā mānavāśca dhanyāḥ, yasmāt te medinīm adhikariṣyanti|
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
dharmmāya bubhukṣitāḥ tṛṣārttāśca manujā dhanyāḥ, yasmāt te paritarpsyanti|
7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
kṛpālavo mānavā dhanyāḥ, yasmāt te kṛpāṁ prāpsyanti|
8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
nirmmalahṛdayā manujāśca dhanyāḥ, yasmāt ta īścaraṁ drakṣyanti|
9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.
melayitāro mānavā dhanyāḥ, yasmāt ta īścarasya santānatvena vikhyāsyanti|
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
dharmmakāraṇāt tāḍitā manujā dhanyā, yasmāt svargīyarājye teṣāmadhikaro vidyate|
11 Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.
yadā manujā mama nāmakṛte yuṣmān nindanti tāḍayanti mṛṣā nānādurvvākyāni vadanti ca, tadā yuyaṁ dhanyāḥ|
12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets before you.
tadā ānandata, tathā bhṛśaṁ hlādadhvañca, yataḥ svarge bhūyāṁsi phalāni lapsyadhve; te yuṣmākaṁ purātanān bhaviṣyadvādino'pi tādṛg atāḍayan|
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.
yuyaṁ medinyāṁ lavaṇarūpāḥ, kintu yadi lavaṇasya lavaṇatvam apayāti, tarhi tat kena prakāreṇa svāduyuktaṁ bhaviṣyati? tat kasyāpi kāryyasyāyogyatvāt kevalaṁ bahiḥ prakṣeptuṁ narāṇāṁ padatalena dalayituñca yogyaṁ bhavati|
14 You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.
yūyaṁ jagati dīptirūpāḥ, bhūdharopari sthitaṁ nagaraṁ guptaṁ bhavituṁ nahi śakṣyati|
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.
aparaṁ manujāḥ pradīpān prajvālya droṇādho na sthāpayanti, kintu dīpādhāroparyyeva sthāpayanti, tena te dīpā gehasthitān sakalān prakāśayanti|
16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
yena mānavā yuṣmākaṁ satkarmmāṇi vilokya yuṣmākaṁ svargasthaṁ pitaraṁ dhanyaṁ vadanti, teṣāṁ samakṣaṁ yuṣmākaṁ dīptistādṛk prakāśatām|
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.
ahaṁ vyavasthāṁ bhaviṣyadvākyañca loptum āgatavān, itthaṁ mānubhavata, te dve loptuṁ nāgatavān, kintu saphale karttum āgatosmi|
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.
aparaṁ yuṣmān ahaṁ tathyaṁ vadāmi yāvat vyomamedinyo rdhvaṁso na bhaviṣyati, tāvat sarvvasmin saphale na jāte vyavasthāyā ekā mātrā bindurekopi vā na lopsyate|
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.
tasmāt yo jana etāsām ājñānām atikṣudrām ekājñāmapī laṁghate manujāṁñca tathaiva śikṣayati, sa svargīyarājye sarvvebhyaḥ kṣudratvena vikhyāsyate, kintu yo janastāṁ pālayati, tathaiva śikṣayati ca, sa svargīyarājye pradhānatvena vikhyāsyate|
20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
aparaṁ yuṣmān ahaṁ vadāmi, adhyāpakaphirūśimānavānāṁ dharmmānuṣṭhānāt yuṣmākaṁ dharmmānuṣṭhāne nottame jāte yūyam īśvarīyarājyaṁ praveṣṭuṁ na śakṣyatha|
21 You have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not murder’ and ‘Anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’
aparañca tvaṁ naraṁ mā vadhīḥ, yasmāt yo naraṁ hanti, sa vicārasabhāyāṁ daṇḍārho bhaviṣyati, pūrvvakālīnajanebhya iti kathitamāsīt, yuṣmābhiraśrāvi|
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 g1067)
kintvahaṁ yuṣmān vadāmi, yaḥ kaścit kāraṇaṁ vinā nijabhrātre kupyati, sa vicārasabhāyāṁ daṇḍārho bhaviṣyati; yaḥ kaścicca svīyasahajaṁ nirbbodhaṁ vadati, sa mahāsabhāyāṁ daṇḍārho bhaviṣyati; punaśca tvaṁ mūḍha iti vākyaṁ yadi kaścit svīyabhrātaraṁ vakti, tarhi narakāgnau sa daṇḍārho bhaviṣyati| (Geenna g1067)
23 So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you,
ato vedyāḥ samīpaṁ nijanaivedye samānīte'pi nijabhrātaraṁ prati kasmāccit kāraṇāt tvaṁ yadi doṣī vidyase, tadānīṁ tava tasya smṛti rjāyate ca,
24 leave your gift there before the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.
tarhi tasyā vedyāḥ samīpe nijanaivaidyaṁ nidhāya tadaiva gatvā pūrvvaṁ tena sārddhaṁ mila, paścāt āgatya nijanaivedyaṁ nivedaya|
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.
anyañca yāvat vivādinā sārddhaṁ vartmani tiṣṭhasi, tāvat tena sārddhaṁ melanaṁ kuru; no cet vivādī vicārayituḥ samīpe tvāṁ samarpayati vicārayitā ca rakṣiṇaḥ sannidhau samarpayati tadā tvaṁ kārāyāṁ badhyethāḥ|
26 Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.
tarhi tvāmahaṁ taththaṁ bravīmi, śeṣakapardake'pi na pariśodhite tasmāt sthānāt kadāpi bahirāgantuṁ na śakṣyasi|
27 You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’
aparaṁ tvaṁ mā vyabhicara, yadetad vacanaṁ pūrvvakālīnalokebhyaḥ kathitamāsīt, tad yūyaṁ śrutavantaḥ;
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.
kintvahaṁ yuṣmān vadāmi, yadi kaścit kāmataḥ kāñcana yoṣitaṁ paśyati, tarhi sa manasā tadaiva vyabhicaritavān|
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 g1067)
tasmāt tava dakṣiṇaṁ netraṁ yadi tvāṁ bādhate, tarhi tannetram utpāṭya dūre nikṣipa, yasmāt tava sarvvavapuṣo narake nikṣepāt tavaikāṅgasya nāśo varaṁ| (Geenna g1067)
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 g1067)
yadvā tava dakṣiṇaḥ karo yadi tvāṁ bādhate, tarhi taṁ karaṁ chittvā dūre nikṣipa, yataḥ sarvvavapuṣo narake nikṣepāt ekāṅgasya nāśo varaṁ| (Geenna g1067)
31 It has also been said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’
uktamāste, yadi kaścin nijajāyāṁ parityakttum icchati, tarhi sa tasyai tyāgapatraṁ dadātu|
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.
kintvahaṁ yuṣmān vyāharāmi, vyabhicāradoṣe na jāte yadi kaścin nijajāyāṁ parityajati, tarhi sa tāṁ vyabhicārayati; yaśca tāṁ tyaktāṁ striyaṁ vivahati, sopi vyabhicarati|
33 Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.’
punaśca tvaṁ mṛṣā śapatham na kurvvan īścarāya nijaśapathaṁ pālaya, pūrvvakālīnalokebhyo yaiṣā kathā kathitā, tāmapi yūyaṁ śrutavantaḥ|
34 But I tell you not to swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;
kintvahaṁ yuṣmān vadāmi, kamapi śapathaṁ mā kārṣṭa, arthataḥ svarganāmnā na, yataḥ sa īśvarasya siṁhāsanaṁ;
35 or by the earth, for it is His footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.
pṛthivyā nāmnāpi na, yataḥ sā tasya pādapīṭhaṁ; yirūśālamo nāmnāpi na, yataḥ sā mahārājasya purī;
36 Nor should you swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black.
nijaśironāmnāpi na, yasmāt tasyaikaṁ kacamapi sitam asitaṁ vā karttuṁ tvayā na śakyate|
37 Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ Anything more comes from the evil one.
aparaṁ yūyaṁ saṁlāpasamaye kevalaṁ bhavatīti na bhavatīti ca vadata yata ito'dhikaṁ yat tat pāpātmano jāyate|
38 You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.’
aparaṁ locanasya vinimayena locanaṁ dantasya vinimayena dantaḥ pūrvvaktamidaṁ vacanañca yuṣmābhiraśrūyata|
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;
kintvahaṁ yuṣmān vadāmi yūyaṁ hiṁsakaṁ naraṁ mā vyāghātayata| kintu kenacit tava dakṣiṇakapole capeṭāghāte kṛte taṁ prati vāmaṁ kapolañca vyāghoṭaya|
40 if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well;
aparaṁ kenacit tvayā sārdhdaṁ vivādaṁ kṛtvā tava paridheyavasane jighṛtite tasmāyuttarīyavasanamapi dehi|
41 and if someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.
yadi kaścit tvāṁ krośamekaṁ nayanārthaṁ anyāyato dharati, tadā tena sārdhdaṁ krośadvayaṁ yāhi|
42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.
yaśca mānavastvāṁ yācate, tasmai dehi, yadi kaścit tubhyaṁ dhārayitum icchati, tarhi taṁ prati parāṁmukho mā bhūḥ|
43 You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor’ and ‘Hate your enemy.’
nijasamīpavasini prema kuru, kintu śatruṁ prati dveṣaṁ kuru, yadetat puroktaṁ vacanaṁ etadapi yūyaṁ śrutavantaḥ|
44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
kintvahaṁ yuṣmān vadāmi, yūyaṁ ripuvvapi prema kuruta, ye ca yuṣmān śapante, tāna, āśiṣaṁ vadata, ye ca yuṣmān ṛtīyante, teṣāṁ maṅgalaṁ kuruta, ye ca yuṣmān nindanti, tāḍayanti ca, teṣāṁ kṛte prārthayadhvaṁ|
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.
tatra yaḥ satāmasatāñcopari prabhākaram udāyayati, tathā dhārmmikānāmadhārmmikānāñcopari nīraṁ varṣayati tādṛśo yo yuṣmākaṁ svargasthaḥ pitā, yūyaṁ tasyaiva santānā bhaviṣyatha|
46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Do not even tax collectors do the same?
ye yuṣmāsu prema kurvvanti, yūyaṁ yadi kevalaṁ tevveva prema kurutha, tarhi yuṣmākaṁ kiṁ phalaṁ bhaviṣyati? caṇḍālā api tādṛśaṁ kiṁ na kurvvanti?
47 And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even Gentiles do the same?
aparaṁ yūyaṁ yadi kevalaṁ svīyabhrātṛtvena namata, tarhi kiṁ mahat karmma kurutha? caṇḍālā api tādṛśaṁ kiṁ na kurvvanti?
48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
tasmāt yuṣmākaṁ svargasthaḥ pitā yathā pūrṇo bhavati, yūyamapi tādṛśā bhavata|
