< Matthew 5 >
1 And having seen the multitudes, He went up to the mountain, and He having sat down, His disciples came to Him,
Ie tendreke i lahialeñey le nitroatse mb’am-bohitse ey naho niambesatse vaho nimb’ama’e mb’eo o mpiama’eo.
2 and having opened His mouth, He was teaching them, saying,
Nanoka-palie re, naho nañòke ami’ty hoe:
3 “Blessed the poor in spirit—because theirs is the kingdom of the heavens.
Haha o mirèke an-trok’ aoo, fa a iareo i fifehean-dikerañey.
4 Blessed the mourning—because they will be comforted.
Haha o miharovetseo fa hohoeñe,
5 Blessed the meek—because they will inherit the land.
Haha o trentrañeo, fa handova ty tane toy.
6 Blessed those hungering and thirsting for righteousness—because they will be filled.
Haha o mivalingoa naho miheahea mipay havantañañeo, fa hanjañeñe.
7 Blessed the kind—because they will find kindness.
Haha o miferenaiñeo, fa hiferenaiñañe.
8 Blessed the clean in heart—because they will see God.
Haha o malio añ’arofoo, fa ho isa’iereo t’i Andrianañahare.
9 Blessed the peacemakers—because they will be called sons of God.
Haha o milozoke fifampilongoañe, fa hatao anan’ Añahare.
10 Blessed those persecuted for righteousness’ sake—because theirs is the kingdom of the heavens.
Haha o samporeraheñe ty ami’ty hatòo, fa a iareo i fifehean-dikerañey.
11 Blessed are you whenever they may reproach you, and may persecute, and may say any evil thing against you falsely for My sake—
Haha nahareo te injèñe naho ampisoañeñe vaho tambaimbaiñeñe, amy ze fonga haloloañe ty amako, am-bolam-bande.
12 rejoice and be glad, because your reward [is] great in the heavens, for thus they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Mirebeha naho mandià taroba amy te ra’elahy ty tambe’ areo andindìñe ao, fa hambañ’ amy zay ty nampisoañeñe o mpitoky taoloo.
13 You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt may lose savor, in what will it be salted? It is good for nothing from now on, except to be cast outside, and to be trodden down by men.
Sira’ ty tane toy nahareo. Fe naho nàmoñe i siray, inoñe ty haniràñe aze? Toe tsy vara fa hariañe alafe ao ho lialiàm-pandia.
14 You are the light of the world, a city set on a mountain is not able to be hid;
Hazavàñe an-tane atoy nahareo. Tsy lefe aetake ty rova namboareñe am-bohitse ey.
15 nor do they light a lamp and put it under the measure, but on the lampstand, and it shines to all those in the house;
Tsy ameloman-jiro hampikopoke aze añ’etake ao tsy hitapasàha’e, f’ie apoke am-pitàn-jiro eo, hañazava ze hene añ’anjomba ao.
16 so let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and may glorify your Father who [is] in the heavens.
Aa le atsavavaho amy ze fonga ondaty ty hazavà’ areo, hitoroañe o sata-soa’ areo ho rengeñe naho onjoneñe añatrefan-dRae’ areo andindìñ’aoo.
17 Do not suppose that I came to throw down the Law or the Prophets—I did not come to throw down, but to fulfill;
Ko atao’areo te nimb’ atoy iraho hamaoke Hake, Tsy nimb’atoy handrotsake fa ty hameno aze.
18 for truly I say to you, until the heaven and the earth may pass away, one iota or one tittle may not pass away from the Law, until all may come to pass.
Eka, to t’itaroñako te, ampara’ te mihelañe añe i likerañey naho ty tane toy, tsy ho faopaoheñe amy Hake ndra amo Mpitokio ze ana-tsoritse ndra hirike, amy te kila ho heneke.
19 Therefore whoever may loose one of these commands—the least—and may teach men so, he will be called least in the kingdom of the heavens, but whoever may do and may teach [them], he will be called great in the kingdom of the heavens.
Ndra iaia miota ami’ty raike amy lily rezay vaho ampiohe’e ami’ty ila’e, ro hatao kabeake amy fifehean-dikerañey; fe ndra iaia mañambeñe vaho mañoke irezay, ty hatao jabajaba amy fifehean-dikerañey.
20 For I say to you that if your righteousness may not abound above that of the scribes and Pharisees, you may not enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
Taroñeko ama’ areo, naho tsy mandikoatse ty havañona’ o Fariseoo naho o Androanavio ty havantaña’ areo le tsy hizilike am-pifehean-dikerañ’ ao nahareo.
21 You heard that it was said to the ancients: You will not murder, and whoever may murder will be in danger of the judgment;
Tsy fa jinanji’areo hao ty nisaontsieñe amo ntaoloo ty hoe: Ko mañoho-doza, naho: Mikai-jaka mampihomake ty mpamono?
22 but I say to you that everyone who is angry at his brother without cause will be in danger of the judgment, and whoever may say to his brother, Stupid, will be in danger of the Sanhedrin, and whoever may say, Moron, will be in danger of the Gehenna of fire. (Geenna )
Aa hoe iraho ama’areo: Hiatre-jaka ty maha-viñetse i mpiama’ey tsy an-dengo’e, naho hampiatrefem-pivory ze manao ty hoe aman-drahalahi’e: Itrotse irehe; vaho mipay afo an-tsikeokeoke ao ze manao aman-drahalahi’e ty hoe: Ty gege tia. (Geenna )
23 If, therefore, you may bring your gift to the altar, and there may remember that your brother has anything against you,
Aa ihe mibanabana an-kitrely vaho tiahi’o te anaña’ ty rañe’o kabò vaho itoreova’e,
24 leave there your gift before the altar, and go—first be reconciled to your brother, and then having come, bring your gift.
le adono aolo’ i kitreliy eo i enga’oy naho akia, ifampilongo heike, izay vaho hengae’o i banabana’oy.
25 Be agreeing with your opponent quickly, while you are in the way with him, that the opponent may not deliver you to the judge, and the judge may deliver you to the officer, and you may be cast into prison;
Ampanintsiño masìka i rafelahi’oy, ie mbe indreza’o fañavelo an-dalañe ey, tsy mone hasese’e ami’ty zizy, le hasese’ i ziziy amy mpitoroñey, hampijoñe azo am-porozò ao.
26 truly I say to you, you may not come forth from there until you may pay the last penny.
Eka, to t’italiliako, te tsy hiakatse ao ampara’ te avaha’o ty drala honka’e.
27 You heard that it was said to the ancients: You will not commit adultery;
Fa jinanji’ areo i nitsaraeñe am’iereo haehae’ey, ty hoe: Ko mañarapilo.
28 but I say to you that everyone who is looking on a woman to desire her, already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Fe hoe iraho ama’ areo: ze mikiroke ampela hilà’e aze, le fa nanao hakarapiloañe an-trok’ ao.
29 But if your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and cast from you, for it is good to you that one of your members may perish, and not your whole body be cast into Gehenna. (Geenna )
Naho mizizy azo ty fihaino’o havana, akatraho vaho ahifiho añe; hasoa ho azo te hianto ty fange’o raike ta te homb’ an-tsikeokeoke ao ty vata’o iaby. (Geenna )
30 And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and cast from you, for it is good to you that one of your members may perish, and not your whole body be cast into Gehenna. (Geenna )
Tovo’e: Ie manigìke azo ty fità’o, kitsiho; hasoa ho azo te ho rebake fange raike ta t’ie havokovoko an-tsikeokeoke ao ary vatañe. (Geenna )
31 And it was said that, Whoever may put away his wife, let him give to her a writing of divorce;
Fa jinanji’ areo ty nitsaraeñe amo taoloo te: Ze mitsey valy ro hanolots’ aze takelam-pifanarahañe.
32 but I say to you that whoever may put away his wife, except for the matter of whoredom, makes her to commit adultery; and whoever may marry her who has been put away commits adultery.
Itaroñeko te ze mañary valy, naho tsy t’ie nañarapilo, le tsi-mete tsy itolorañe takelam-pifanarahañe; naho o hakarapiloañeo, mañarapilo i lahilahiy vaho karapilo ty mañenga i nariañey.
33 Again, you heard that it was said to the ancients: You will not swear falsely, but you will pay to the LORD your oaths;
Toe jinanji’ areo ka ty nisaontsieñe amo taoloo, Ko mifànta vìlañe ami’ty añarako, le avaho am’ Iehovà o nifantà’oo?
34 but I say to you not to swear at all; neither by Heaven, because it is the throne of God,
Fe hoe iraho ama’ areo: ko manao fanta tsy vente’e aman-dra inoñ’ inoñe, ke amy likerañey, fa ie ty fiambesan’ Añahare;
35 nor by the earth, because it is His footstool, nor by Jerusalem, because it is [the] city of [the] great King,
he ami’ty tane toy, amy te ie ty fitongoàm-pandia’e; ke am’ Ierosaleme, fa ie ty rovan’ Añahare,
36 nor may you swear by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black;
he ami’ty añambone’o ie tsy mahafoty ndra mahamainte ty maròy raike.
37 but let your word be, Yes, Yes, No, No, and that which is more than these is of the evil [one].
Ehe te ho Eka ty hoe Eka, naho ho Aiy ty hoe Tsie, fa hirik’ amy ratiy ze tovo’e.
38 You heard that it was said: Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth;
Toe jinanji’areo ty nitsaraeñe amy Hake: Fihaino soloam-pihaino, naho fihitsike soloam-pihitsike.
39 but I say to you not to resist the evil, but whoever will slap you on your right cheek, turn to him also the other;
Fe hoe iraho ama’ areo: ko vale’o raty ty raty. Fa ze mandrara-tehake azo am-piambina’o havana, atoliho ama’e ka ty havia.
40 and whoever is willing to take you to law, and to take your coat—also permit to him the cloak.
Ty te hanesek’ azo an-jaka, higaoñe i saravi’oy, afofio ama’e ka ty saro’o.
41 And whoever will impress you one mile, go with him two;
Ze manjizy azo hañavelo arivo lia, mindreza ama’e ro’arivo.
42 to him who is asking of you be giving, and him who is willing to borrow from you, you may not turn away.
Anoloro ty mihalaly ama’o, le ko ifoneña’o ty te hisongo ama’o.
43 You heard that it was said: You will love your neighbor, and will hate your enemy;
Fa jinanji’ areo ty nitsaraeñe amo taoloo: kokò ty marine azo, vaho hejeo ty malaiñe azo.
44 but I say to you, love your enemies, bless those cursing you, do good to those hating you, and pray for those accusing you falsely, and persecuting you,
Fa hoe ka iraho ama’areo: Kokò o rafelahi’oo, tatao ty mamatse azo, le hasoao ty malaiñe, vaho mihalalia ho a o mampisoañe naho mamorekeke azoo,
45 that you may be sons of your Father in the heavens, because He causes His sun to rise on evil and good, and He sends rain on righteous and unrighteous.
soa t’ie ho anan-dRae’ areo andindìñe ao; fa songa ampanjirihe’e amo ratio naho amo soao i androy, vaho ampahavie’e amo vantañeo naho amo tsy vokatseo i orañey.
46 For if you may love those loving you, what reward do you have? Do the tax collectors not also do the same?
Aa naho o mikoko anahareoo avao ty kokoa’ areo, inoñe ty ho tambe’ areo? Tsy izay hao ty anoe’ o mijiajiao amo mikoko iareoo?
47 And if you may greet your brothers only, what do you do abundant? Do the nations not also do so?
Aa naho o longo’areo avao ro añontanea’areo, ino ty anoe’o mandikoatse o kilakila’ndatio.
48 You will therefore be perfect, as your Father who [is] in the heavens is perfect.”
Aa le mivantaña manahake te vantañe t’i Rae’ areo.
