Matthew 5
1 Seeing the multitudes, he went up onto the mountain. When he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
anantaraṁ sa jananivahaṁ nirīkṣya bhūdharopari vrajitvā samupaviveśa|
2 He opened his mouth and taught 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 shall be comforted.
khidyamānā manujā dhanyāḥ, yasmāt te sāntvanāṁ prāpsanti|
5 Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.
namrā mānavāśca dhanyāḥ, yasmāt te medinīm adhikariṣyanti|
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.
dharmmāya bubhukṣitāḥ tṛṣārttāśca manujā dhanyāḥ, yasmāt te paritarpsyanti|
7 Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
kṛpālavo mānavā dhanyāḥ, yasmāt te kṛpāṁ prāpsyanti|
8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
nirmmalahṛdayā manujāśca dhanyāḥ, yasmāt ta īścaraṁ drakṣyanti|
9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.
melayitāro mānavā dhanyāḥ, yasmāt ta īścarasya santānatvena vikhyāsyanti|
10 Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
dharmmakāraṇāt tāḍitā manujā dhanyā, yasmāt svargīyarājye teṣāmadhikaro vidyate|
11 “Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
yadā manujā mama nāmakṛte yuṣmān nindanti tāḍayanti mṛṣā nānādurvvākyāni vadanti ca, tadā yuyaṁ dhanyāḥ|
12 Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were 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 has lost its flavour, with what will it be salted? It is then good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under the feet of 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 located on a hill can’t be hidden.
yūyaṁ jagati dīptirūpāḥ, bhūdharopari sthitaṁ nagaraṁ guptaṁ bhavituṁ nahi śakṣyati|
15 Neither do you light a lamp and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house.
aparaṁ manujāḥ pradīpān prajvālya droṇādho na sthāpayanti, kintu dīpādhāroparyyeva sthāpayanti, tena te dīpā gehasthitān sakalān prakāśayanti|
16 Even so, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
yena mānavā yuṣmākaṁ satkarmmāṇi vilokya yuṣmākaṁ svargasthaṁ pitaraṁ dhanyaṁ vadanti, teṣāṁ samakṣaṁ yuṣmākaṁ dīptistādṛk prakāśatām|
17 “Don’t think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I didn’t come to destroy, but to fulfil.
ahaṁ vyavasthāṁ bhaviṣyadvākyañca loptum āgatavān, itthaṁ mānubhavata, te dve loptuṁ nāgatavān, kintu saphale karttum āgatosmi|
18 For most certainly, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not even one smallest letter or one tiny pen stroke shall in any way pass away from the law, until all things are accomplished.
aparaṁ yuṣmān ahaṁ tathyaṁ vadāmi yāvat vyomamedinyo rdhvaṁso na bhaviṣyati, tāvat sarvvasmin saphale na jāte vyavasthāyā ekā mātrā bindurekopi vā na lopsyate|
19 Therefore, whoever shall break one of these least commandments and teach others to do so, shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven; but whoever shall do and teach them shall 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, there is no way you will enter into 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 ancient ones, ‘You shall not murder;’ and ‘Whoever murders will be in danger of the judgement.’
aparañca tvaṁ naraṁ mā vadhīḥ, yasmāt yo naraṁ hanti, sa vicārasabhāyāṁ daṇḍārho bhaviṣyati, pūrvvakālīnajanebhya iti kathitamāsīt, yuṣmābhiraśrāvi|
22 But I tell you that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause will be in danger of the judgement. Whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ will be in danger of the council. Whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of 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 you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything 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, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
tarhi tasyā vedyāḥ samīpe nijanaivaidyaṁ nidhāya tadaiva gatvā pūrvvaṁ tena sārddhaṁ mila, paścāt āgatya nijanaivedyaṁ nivedaya|
25 Agree with your adversary quickly while you are with him on the way; lest perhaps the prosecutor deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be cast 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 Most certainly I tell you, you shall by no means get out of there 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, ‘You shall not commit adultery;’
aparaṁ tvaṁ mā vyabhicara, yadetad vacanaṁ pūrvvakālīnalokebhyaḥ kathitamāsīt, tad yūyaṁ śrutavantaḥ;
28 but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already 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 stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish than for your whole body to 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 If your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna. (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 also said, ‘Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorce,’
uktamāste, yadi kaścin nijajāyāṁ parityakttum icchati, tarhi sa tasyai tyāgapatraṁ dadātu|
32 but I tell you that whoever puts away his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is put away 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 ancient ones, ‘You shall not make false vows, but shall perform to the Lord your vows,’
punaśca tvaṁ mṛṣā śapatham na kurvvan īścarāya nijaśapathaṁ pālaya, pūrvvakālīnalokebhyo yaiṣā kathā kathitā, tāmapi yūyaṁ śrutavantaḥ|
34 but I tell you, don’t swear at all: neither by heaven, for 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, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor 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 Neither shall you swear by your head, for you can’t make one hair white or black.
nijaśironāmnāpi na, yasmāt tasyaikaṁ kacamapi sitam asitaṁ vā karttuṁ tvayā na śakyate|
37 But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No.’ Whatever is more than these is of 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, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’
aparaṁ locanasya vinimayena locanaṁ dantasya vinimayena dantaḥ pūrvvaktamidaṁ vacanañca yuṣmābhiraśrūyata|
39 But I tell you, don’t resist him who is evil; but whoever strikes 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 anyone sues you to take away your coat, let him have your cloak also.
aparaṁ kenacit tvayā sārdhdaṁ vivādaṁ kṛtvā tava paridheyavasane jighṛtite tasmāyuttarīyavasanamapi dehi|
41 Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.
yadi kaścit tvāṁ krośamekaṁ nayanārthaṁ anyāyato dharati, tadā tena sārdhdaṁ krośadvayaṁ yāhi|
42 Give to him who asks you, and don’t turn away him who desires 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, ‘You shall love your neighbour 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, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and 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 children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.
tatra yaḥ satāmasatāñcopari prabhākaram udāyayati, tathā dhārmmikānāmadhārmmikānāñcopari nīraṁ varṣayati tādṛśo yo yuṣmākaṁ svargasthaḥ pitā, yūyaṁ tasyaiva santānā bhaviṣyatha|
46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Don’t even the 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 If you only greet your friends, what more do you do than others? Don’t even the tax collectors do the same?
aparaṁ yūyaṁ yadi kevalaṁ svīyabhrātṛtvena namata, tarhi kiṁ mahat karmma kurutha? caṇḍālā api tādṛśaṁ kiṁ na kurvvanti?
48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
tasmāt yuṣmākaṁ svargasthaḥ pitā yathā pūrṇo bhavati, yūyamapi tādṛśā bhavata|
