Matthew 5
1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain; and when he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
A, i tona kitenga i te whakaminenga, ka haere ia ki runga ki te maunga: a, no ka noho ia, ka haere ana akonga ki a ia:
2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying: —
Na ka puaki tona mangai, a ka whakaako ia i a ratou, ka mea,
3 Blessed are the poor in spirit; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Ka koa te hunga he rawakore nei te wairua: no ratou hoki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.
4 Blessed are they who mourn; for they will be comforted.
Ka koa te hunga e tangi ana: ka whakamarietia hoki ratou.
5 Blessed are the meek; for they will inherit the earth.
Ka koa te hunga ngakau mahaki: ka riro hoki i a ratou te whenua.
6 Blessed are they who hunger and thirst after righteousness; for they will be filled.
Ka koa te hunga e hiakai ana, e hiainu ana, ki te tika: e makona hoki ratou.
7 Blessed are the merciful; for they will obtain mercy.
Ka koa te hunga tohu tangata: e tohungia hoki ratou.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart; for they will see God.
Ka koa te hunga ngakau ma: e kite hoki ratou i te Atua.
9 Blessed are the peace-makers; for they will be called sons of God.
Ka koa te hunga hohou rongo: ka huaina hoki ratou he tamariki na te Atua.
10 Blessed are they who are persecuted for righteousness' sake; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Ka koa te hunga e whakatoia ana mo te tika: no ratou hoki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.
11 Blessed are ye, when men revile you, and persecute you, and say every thing that is bad against you, falsely, for my sake.
Ka koa koutou ina tawai ratou i a koutou, ina whakatoi, ina puaki i a ratou nga kupu kino katoa mo koutou, he mea teka, he whakaaro hoki ki ahau.
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad; for great is your reward in heaven; for so did they persecute the prophets that were before you.
Kia hari, kia whakamanamana: he rahi hoki te utu mo koutou i te rangi: he penei hoki ta ratou whakatoi i nga poropiti i mua i a koutou.
13 Ye are the salt of the earth. But if the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall itself be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot by men.
Ko koutou te tote o te whenua: otira ki te hemo te ha o te tote, ma te aha e whai tikanga tote ai? heoi ano tona painga, na ka akiritia ki waho, ka takahia e nga tangata.
14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid;
Ko koutou te whakamarama o te ao. E kore e ngaro te pa e tu ana i runga maunga.
15 nor do men light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the lamp-stand; and it giveth light to all that are in the house.
E kore hoki e tahuna te rama, e whakaturia ki raro o te mehua, engari ki runga ki te turanga; a ka tiaho ki nga tangata katoa i roto i te whare.
16 In like manner let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
Waihoki kia tiaho to koutou marama ki te aroaro o nga tangata, kia kite ai ratou i a koutou hanga pai, kia whakakororia ai i to koutou Matua i te rangi.
17 Think not that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets: I came not to destroy, but to fulfill.
Kei mea koutou i haere mai ahau ki te whakakahore i te ture, i nga poropiti ranei; kihai ahau i haere mai ki te whakakahore, engari ki te whakatutuki.
18 For truly do I say to you, Not till heaven and earth pass away, shall one jot or one tittle pass from the Law, till all be fulfilled.
He tino pono hoki taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Pahemo noa te rangi me te whenua, e kore tetahi tongi, tetahi tohu ranei o te ture e pahemo, kia rite katoa ra ano.
19 Whoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, will be called the least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever shall do and teach them, he will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Na, ki te whakakahore tetahi i tetahi mea iti rawa o enei kupu ako, a ka ako i nga tangata kia pera, ka kiia ia ko te iti rawa i te rangatiratanga o te rangi: engari ki te whakaritea e tetahi, ki te whakaakona, ka kiia ia he nui i te rangatirata nga o te rangi.
20 For I say to you, Unless your righteousness shall exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees, ye will not enter the kingdom of heaven.
Ko taku kupu hoki tenei ki a koutou, Ki te kore e nui ake ta koutou mahi tika i ta nga karaipi ratou ko nga Parihi, e kore rawa koutou e tapoko ki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.
21 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 Judges.”
Kua rongo koutou, i korerotia ki nga tupuna, Kaua e patu tangata; a ki te patu tangata tetahi, ka tau te he ki a ia.
22 But I say to you, that whoever is angry with his brother shall be in danger of the Judges; and whoever shall say to his brother, Simpleton! shall be in danger of the Council; and whoever shall say, Fool! shall be in danger of hell-fire. (Geenna g1067)
Na ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Ki te riri noa tetahi ki tona teina, ka tau te he ki a ia; a ki te mea tetahi ki tona teina, Wairangi! ka tika kia komititia: na ki te mea tetahi, Poauau! ka tika mona te kapura o Kehena. (Geenna g1067)
23 Therefore, if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there remember that thy brother hath aught against thee,
Na reira, ki te mauria e koe tau whakahere ki te aata, a ka mahara i reira i hara koe ki tou hoa;
24 leave there thy gift before the altar, and go away; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
Waiho tau whakahere i reira, i mua o te aata, a haere, matua houhia te rongo ki tou teina, ka haere ai, ka mau ai i tau whakahere.
25 Agree with thine adversary at law quickly, while thou art on the road with him; lest the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
Kia hohoro te whakarite i ta korua korero ko tou hoa tauwhainga, i a korua ano i te ara, kei tukua koe e te hoa tauwhainga ki te kaiwhakawa, a ka tukua e te kaiwhakawa ki te katipa, a ka maka koe ki te whare herehere.
26 Truly do I say to thee, Thou wilt not come out thence, till thou hast paid the last farthing.
He pono taku e mea atu nei ki a koe, E kore rawa koe e puta i reira, kia utua ra ano te patene whakamutunga.
27 Ye have heard that it was said, “Thou shalt not commit adultery.”
Kua rongo koutou, i korerotia, Kaua e puremu:
28 But I say to you, that whoever looketh on a woman to lust after her, hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Na ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Ki te titiro tetahi ki te wahine, he hiahia ki a ia, kua puremu ke ia ki a ia i roto i tona ngakau.
29 And if thy right eye cause thee to offend, pluck it out, and cast it from thee; for it is better for thee that one of thy members should perish, than that thy whole body should be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
Ki te he koe i tou kanohi matau, tikarohia, maka atu: he pai ke hoki ki a koe ki te ngaro tetahi wahi ou, a ka kore e maka tou tinana katoa ki Kehena. (Geenna g1067)
30 And if thy right hand cause thee to offend, cut it off, and cast it from thee; for it is better for thee that one of thy members should perish, than that thy whole body should go away into hell. (Geenna g1067)
Ki te he ano hoki koe i tou ringa matau, poutoa, maka atu: he pai ke ki te mate tetahi wahi ou, a ka kore e maka tou tinana katoa ki Kehena. (Geenna g1067)
31 And it was said, “Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement.”
I korerotia ano, Ki te whakarere tetahi i tana wahine, me hoatu ki a ia tetahi pukapuka whakarere:
32 But I say to you, that whoever putteth away his wife, unless it be on account of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery; and whoever shall marry her when put away, committeth adultery.
Na ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Ki te whakarere tetahi i tana wahine, haunga mo te take moepuku, e mea ana ia i te wahine kia puremu: a ki te marena tetahi i te wahine i whakarerea, e puremu ana ia.
33 Again ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, “Thou shalt not swear falsely, but shalt perform to the Lord thine oaths.”
Kua rongo ano koutou, i korerotia ki nga tupuna, Kaua e oati teka, engari me whakamana au oati ki te Ariki:
34 But I say to you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;
Na ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Kaua rawa tetahi mea e oatitia; kaua te rangi, ko to te Atua torona hoki ia:
35 nor by the earth, for it is his footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King;
Kaua hoki te whenua; ko te turanga hoki tera o ona waewae: kaua hoki a Hiruharama; ko te pa hoki tera o te Kingi nui.
36 nor shalt thou swear by thy head, for thou canst not make one hair white or black.
Kaua ano e oatitia tou matenga, e kore hoki e ahei i a koe te mea kia ma tetahi makawe, kia mangu ranei.
37 But let your language be, Yea, yea; Nay; nay; for whatever is more than these cometh of evil.
Erangi ko tenei hei kupu ma koutou, Ae, ae; Kahore, kahore: no te mea ki te maha atu i ena, no te kino.
38 Ye have heard that it was said, “An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.”
Kua rongo koutou i korerotia, He kanohi mo te kanohi, he niho mo te niho:
39 But I say to you, that ye resist not the evil-doer; but whoever smiteth thee on the right cheek, turn to him the other also;
Na ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Kaua e whakauaua atu ki te kino; erangi ki te pakia tou paparinga matau e tetahi, whakaangahia atu hoki tera ki a ia.
40 and if any one intends to sue thee at the law, and take thy coat, give up to him thy cloak also;
A ki te mea tetahi kia whakawakia koe, ka tangohia tou koti, tukua atu hoki tou ngeri ki a ia.
41 and whoever shall compel thee to go one mile, go with him two.
A ki te tonoa koe e tetahi kia haere kotahi te maero, kia rua au e haere tahi ai me ia.
42 Give to him that asketh of thee; and from him that would borrow of thee, turn not away.
Hoatu ki te tangata e tono mea ana i a koe, kaua hoki e tahuri ke i te tangata e mea ana ki te taonga tarewa i a koe.
43 Ye have heard that it was said, “Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy.”
Kua rongo koutou i korerotia, Kia aroha ki tou hoa tata, kia kino hoki ki tou hoa whawhai:
44 But I say to you, Love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you;
Na ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Arohaina o koutou hoa whawhai, manaakitia te hunga e kanga ana i a koutou, kia pai te mahi ki te hunga e kino ana ki a koutou, me inoi hoki mo te hunga e whakawhiu ana i a koutou, e whakatoi ana i a koutou;
45 that ye may become sons 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.
Kia tupu ai koutou hei tamariki ma to koutou Matua i te rangi: e mea nei hoki ia i tona ra kia whiti ki te hunga kino, ki te hunga pai, kia ua hoki te ua ki te hunga tika, ki te hunga he.
46 For if ye love those who love you, what reward have ye? Do not even the publicans the same?
Ki te aroha hoki koutou ki te hunga e aroha ana ki a koutou, he aha te utu e riro i a koutou? Kahore ianei nga pupirikana e pena?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye that excelleth? Do not even the heathen the same?
A ki te oha koutou ki o koutou teina anake, he aha ta koutou mahi i nui ake i ta etahi? kahore ianei nga tauiwi e pena hoki?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Na kia tika koutou, kia pera me to koutou Matua i te rangi e tika ana.
