Matthew 5
1 But, seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain, —and, when he had taken a seat, his disciples came unto him;
anantaraṁ sa jananivahaṁ nirīkṣya bhūdharopari vrajitvā samupaviveśa|
2 and, opening his mouth, he began teaching them, saying: —
tadānīṁ śiṣyeṣu tasya samīpamāgateṣu tena tebhya eṣā kathā kathyāñcakre|
3 Happy, the destitute, in spirit; for, theirs, is the kingdom of the heavens;
abhimānahīnā janā dhanyāḥ, yataste svargīyarājyam adhikariṣyanti|
4 Happy, they who mourn; for, they, shall be comforted:
khidyamānā manujā dhanyāḥ, yasmāt te sāntvanāṁ prāpsanti|
5 Happy, the meek; for, they, shall inherit the earth:
namrā mānavāśca dhanyāḥ, yasmāt te medinīm adhikariṣyanti|
6 Happy, they who hunger and thirst for righteousness; for, they, shall be filled:
dharmmāya bubhukṣitāḥ tṛṣārttāśca manujā dhanyāḥ, yasmāt te paritarpsyanti|
7 Happy, the merciful; for, they, shall receive mercy:
kṛpālavo mānavā dhanyāḥ, yasmāt te kṛpāṁ prāpsyanti|
8 Happy, the pure, in heart; for, they, shall, see God:
nirmmalahṛdayā manujāśca dhanyāḥ, yasmāt ta īścaraṁ drakṣyanti|
9 Happy, the peacemakers; for, they, shall be, called sons of God:
melayitāro mānavā dhanyāḥ, yasmāt ta īścarasya santānatvena vikhyāsyanti|
10 Happy, they who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake; for, theirs, is the kingdom of the heavens.
dharmmakāraṇāt tāḍitā manujā dhanyā, yasmāt svargīyarājye teṣāmadhikaro vidyate|
11 Happy, are ye, whensoever they may reproach you and persecute you, and say every evil thing against you, falsely, for my sake:
yadā manujā mama nāmakṛte yuṣmān nindanti tāḍayanti mṛṣā nānādurvvākyāni vadanti ca, tadā yuyaṁ dhanyāḥ|
12 Rejoice and exult, because, your reward, is great in the heavens; for, so, persecuted they the prophets who were before you.
tadā ānandata, tathā bhṛśaṁ hlādadhvañca, yataḥ svarge bhūyāṁsi phalāni lapsyadhve; te yuṣmākaṁ purātanān bhaviṣyadvādino'pi tādṛg atāḍayan|
13 Ye, are the salt of the earth; but, if the salt become tasteless, wherewith shall it be salted? it is good, for nothing, any more, save, being cast out, to be trampled on 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 Ye, are the light of the world: it is impossible for a city to be hid, on the top of a mountain, lying.
yūyaṁ jagati dīptirūpāḥ, bhūdharopari sthitaṁ nagaraṁ guptaṁ bhavituṁ nahi śakṣyati|
15 Neither light they a lamp, and place it under the measure; but upon the lampstand, and it giveth light to all that are in the house.
aparaṁ manujāḥ pradīpān prajvālya droṇādho na sthāpayanti, kintu dīpādhāroparyyeva sthāpayanti, tena te dīpā gehasthitān sakalān prakāśayanti|
16 In like manner, let your light shine before men, —that they may see your good works, —and glorify your Father who is in the heavens.
yena mānavā yuṣmākaṁ satkarmmāṇi vilokya yuṣmākaṁ svargasthaṁ pitaraṁ dhanyaṁ vadanti, teṣāṁ samakṣaṁ yuṣmākaṁ dīptistādṛk prakāśatām|
17 Do not think, that I came to pull down the law, or the prophets, —I came not to pull down, but to fulfil.
ahaṁ vyavasthāṁ bhaviṣyadvākyañca loptum āgatavān, itthaṁ mānubhavata, te dve loptuṁ nāgatavān, kintu saphale karttum āgatosmi|
18 For, verily, I say unto you, until the heaven and the earth shall pass away, one least letter, or one point, may in nowise pass away from the law, till all be accomplished.
aparaṁ yuṣmān ahaṁ tathyaṁ vadāmi yāvat vyomamedinyo rdhvaṁso na bhaviṣyati, tāvat sarvvasmin saphale na jāte vyavasthāyā ekā mātrā bindurekopi vā na lopsyate|
19 Whosoever, therefore, shall relax one of these commandments, the least, and teach men so, shall be called, least, in the kingdom of the heavens; but, whosoever shall do and teach, the same, shall be called, great, in the kingdom of the heavens.
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 say unto you, that, unless your righteousness exceed that of the Scribes and Pharisees, in nowise, may ye enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
aparaṁ yuṣmān ahaṁ vadāmi, adhyāpakaphirūśimānavānāṁ dharmmānuṣṭhānāt yuṣmākaṁ dharmmānuṣṭhāne nottame jāte yūyam īśvarīyarājyaṁ praveṣṭuṁ na śakṣyatha|
21 Ye have heard, that it was said, to them of olden time, —Thou shalt not commit murder, and, whosoever shall commit murder, shall be, liable, to judgment.
aparañca tvaṁ naraṁ mā vadhīḥ, yasmāt yo naraṁ hanti, sa vicārasabhāyāṁ daṇḍārho bhaviṣyati, pūrvvakālīnajanebhya iti kathitamāsīt, yuṣmābhiraśrāvi|
22 But, I, say unto you, that, every one who is angry with his brother, shall be, liable, to judgment, —and, whosoever shall say to his brother, Worthless one!, shall be, liable, to the high council; and, whosoever shall say, Rebel!, shall be, liable, unto the fiery gehenna. (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 If, therefore, thou be bearing thy gift towards the altar, and, there, shouldst remember that, thy brother, hath aught against thee,
ato vedyāḥ samīpaṁ nijanaivedye samānīte'pi nijabhrātaraṁ prati kasmāccit kāraṇāt tvaṁ yadi doṣī vidyase, tadānīṁ tava tasya smṛti rjāyate ca,
24 leave, there, thy gift before the altar, and withdraw, —first, be reconciled unto thy brother, and, then, coming, be offering thy gift.
tarhi tasyā vedyāḥ samīpe nijanaivaidyaṁ nidhāya tadaiva gatvā pūrvvaṁ tena sārddhaṁ mila, paścāt āgatya nijanaivedyaṁ nivedaya|
25 Be making agreement with thine adversary, quickly, while thou art with him, in the way, —lest once thine adversary deliver thee up unto the judge, and the judge, unto the officer, and, into prison, thou be cast.
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 Verily, I say unto thee, In nowise, mayest thou come out from thence, until thou pay the last halfpenny.
tarhi tvāmahaṁ taththaṁ bravīmi, śeṣakapardake'pi na pariśodhite tasmāt sthānāt kadāpi bahirāgantuṁ na śakṣyasi|
27 Ye have heard, that it was said, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
aparaṁ tvaṁ mā vyabhicara, yadetad vacanaṁ pūrvvakālīnalokebhyaḥ kathitamāsīt, tad yūyaṁ śrutavantaḥ;
28 But, I, say unto you, that, Every one who looketh on a woman so as to covet her, already, hath committed adultery with her, in his heart.
kintvahaṁ yuṣmān vadāmi, yadi kaścit kāmataḥ kāñcana yoṣitaṁ paśyati, tarhi sa manasā tadaiva vyabhicaritavān|
29 And, if, thy right eye, is causing thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee, —for it profiteth thee, that, one of thy members, should perish, and not, thy whole body, be cast into gehenna. (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, thy right hand, is causing thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee, —for it profiteth thee, that, one of thy members, should perish, and not, thy whole body, into gehenna, depart. (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 was said, moreover, Whosoever shall divorce his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement;
uktamāste, yadi kaścin nijajāyāṁ parityakttum icchati, tarhi sa tasyai tyāgapatraṁ dadātu|
32 But, I, say unto you, that, Everyone who divorceth his wife—saving for unfaithfulness, causeth her to be made an adulteress, —[and, whosoever shall marry a divorced woman, committeth adultery].
kintvahaṁ yuṣmān vyāharāmi, vyabhicāradoṣe na jāte yadi kaścin nijajāyāṁ parityajati, tarhi sa tāṁ vyabhicārayati; yaśca tāṁ tyaktāṁ striyaṁ vivahati, sopi vyabhicarati|
33 Again, ye have heard that it was said, to them of olden time, Thou shalt not swear falsely, —but shalt render unto the Lord, thine oaths.
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: Neither by heaven, because it is the, throne of God, —
kintvahaṁ yuṣmān vadāmi, kamapi śapathaṁ mā kārṣṭa, arthataḥ svarganāmnā na, yataḥ sa īśvarasya siṁhāsanaṁ;
35 Nor by the earth, because it is his, footstool; nor by Jerusalem, because, it is the, city, of the Great King;
pṛthivyā nāmnāpi na, yataḥ sā tasya pādapīṭhaṁ; yirūśālamo nāmnāpi na, yataḥ sā mahārājasya purī;
36 Nor, by thine own head, mayest thou swear, because thou art not able to make, one hair, white or black.
nijaśironāmnāpi na, yasmāt tasyaikaṁ kacamapi sitam asitaṁ vā karttuṁ tvayā na śakyate|
37 But let your word be, Yea, yea, —Nay, nay; and, what goeth beyond these, is, of evil.
aparaṁ yūyaṁ saṁlāpasamaye kevalaṁ bhavatīti na bhavatīti ca vadata yata ito'dhikaṁ yat tat pāpātmano jāyate|
38 Ye 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 evil, —Nay, whoever is smiting thee on the 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 And, him who is desiring thee to be judged, and to take, thy tunic, let him have, thy mantle also.
aparaṁ kenacit tvayā sārdhdaṁ vivādaṁ kṛtvā tava paridheyavasane jighṛtite tasmāyuttarīyavasanamapi dehi|
41 And, whoever shall impress thee one mile, go with him two:
yadi kaścit tvāṁ krośamekaṁ nayanārthaṁ anyāyato dharati, tadā tena sārdhdaṁ krośadvayaṁ yāhi|
42 To him who is asking thee, give; and, him who is desiring from thee to borrow, do not thou turn away.
yaśca mānavastvāṁ yācate, tasmai dehi, yadi kaścit tubhyaṁ dhārayitum icchati, tarhi taṁ prati parāṁmukho mā bhūḥ|
43 Ye have heard, that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
nijasamīpavasini prema kuru, kintu śatruṁ prati dveṣaṁ kuru, yadetat puroktaṁ vacanaṁ etadapi yūyaṁ śrutavantaḥ|
44 But, I, say unto you, Be loving your enemies, and praying for them who are persecuting 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 ye may become sons of your Father who is in the heavens: because, his sun, he maketh arise on evil and good, and sendeth rain, on just and unjust.
tatra yaḥ satāmasatāñcopari prabhākaram udāyayati, tathā dhārmmikānāmadhārmmikānāñcopari nīraṁ varṣayati tādṛśo yo yuṣmākaṁ svargasthaḥ pitā, yūyaṁ tasyaiva santānā bhaviṣyatha|
46 For, if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? are not, even the tax-collectors, the same thing, doing?
ye yuṣmāsu prema kurvvanti, yūyaṁ yadi kevalaṁ tevveva prema kurutha, tarhi yuṣmākaṁ kiṁ phalaṁ bhaviṣyati? caṇḍālā api tādṛśaṁ kiṁ na kurvvanti?
47 And, if ye salute your brethren only, what, more than common, are ye doing? are not, even the nations, the same thing, doing?
aparaṁ yūyaṁ yadi kevalaṁ svīyabhrātṛtvena namata, tarhi kiṁ mahat karmma kurutha? caṇḍālā api tādṛśaṁ kiṁ na kurvvanti?
48 Ye, therefore, shall become, perfect: as, your heavenly Father, is perfect.
tasmāt yuṣmākaṁ svargasthaḥ pitā yathā pūrṇo bhavati, yūyamapi tādṛśā bhavata|
