Matthew 5
1 And having seen the multitudes, he went up to the mount, and he having sat down, his disciples came to him,
Pea ʻi heʻene mamata ki he kakai tokolahi, naʻe ʻalu hake ia ki he moʻunga: pea kuo nofo hifo ia, pea haʻu ʻene kau ākonga kiate ia:
2 and having opened his mouth, he was teaching them, saying:
Pea lea ia, ʻo ne akonaki kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē,
3 'Happy the poor in spirit — because theirs is the reign of the heavens.
“ʻOku monūʻia ʻae angavaivai: he ʻoku ʻonautolu ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi.
4 'Happy the mourning — because they shall be comforted.
“ʻOku monūʻia ʻakinautolu ʻoku tangi: he te nau maʻu ʻae fiemālie.
5 'Happy the meek — because they shall inherit the land.
“ʻOku monūʻia ʻae angamalū: he te nau maʻu ʻae fonua.
6 'Happy those hungering and thirsting for righteousness — because they shall be filled.
“ʻOku monūʻia ʻakinautolu ʻoku fiekaia mo fieinua ki he māʻoniʻoni: he te nau fonu ai.
7 'Happy the kind — because they shall find kindness.
“ʻOku monūʻia ʻae manavaʻofa: he te nau maʻu ʻae ʻofa.
8 'Happy the clean in heart — because they shall see God.
“ʻOku monūʻia ʻae loto maʻa: he te nau mamata ki he ʻOtua.
9 'Happy the peacemakers — because they shall be called Sons of God.
“ʻOku monūʻia ʻae faʻa fakalelei: ʻe ui ai ʻakinautolu ko e fānau ʻae ʻOtua.
10 'Happy those persecuted for righteousness' sake — because theirs is the reign of the heavens.
“ʻOku monūʻia ʻakinautolu kuo fakatangaʻi koeʻuhi ko e māʻoniʻoni: he ʻoku ʻonautolu ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi.
11 'Happy are ye whenever they may reproach you, and may persecute, and may say any evil thing against you falsely for my sake —
“ʻOku monūʻia ʻakimoutolu, ʻoka manukia, mo fakatangaʻi, mo lohiekina ʻakimoutolu ʻi he meʻa kovi kotoa pē, koeʻuhi ko au.
12 rejoice ye and be glad, because your reward [is] great in the heavens, for thus did they persecute the prophets who were before you.
Mou fiemālie ʻo fiefia lahi ʻaupito: he ʻoku lahi hoʻomou totongi ʻi he langi: he naʻe pehē ʻenau fakatangaʻi ʻae kau palōfita naʻe muʻa ʻiate kimoutolu.
13 'Ye are the salt of the land, but if the salt may lose savour, in what shall it be salted? for nothing is it good henceforth, except to be cast without, and to be trodden down by men.
“Ko e māsima ʻo māmani ʻakimoutolu: pea kapau kuo mole ʻi he māsima hono kona, ʻe toe fakakonaʻi fēfeeʻi ia? Ngata ai, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaonga ia, ka ke lī ki tuaʻā, pea ke molomoloki ia ʻe he kakai.
14 'Ye are the light of the world, a city set upon a mount is not able to be hid;
“Ko e maama ʻo māmani ʻakimoutolu. Ko e kolo ʻoku tuʻu ʻi ha moʻunga, ʻoku ʻikai faʻa fakapuli ia.
15 nor do they light a lamp, and put it under the measure, but on the lamp-stand, and it shineth to all those in the house;
Pea ʻoku ʻikai tutu ha maama, mo tuku ia ʻi he lalo puha fua, ka ki he tuʻunga maama; pea ʻoku ulo ia kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi he fale.
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.
Tuku ke ulo pehē hoʻomou maama ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai, koeʻuhi ke nau mamata ki hoʻomou ngaahi ngāue lelei, pea fakamālōʻia ʻa hoʻomou Tamai ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he langi.
17 'Do not suppose that I came to throw down the law or the prophets — I did not come to throw down, but to fulfil;
“ʻOua naʻa mou mahalo kuo u haʻu ke fakataʻeʻaongaʻi ʻae fono, pe ko e kau palōfita: naʻe ʻikai te u haʻu ke fakataʻeʻaongaʻi, ka ke fakamoʻoni.
18 for, verily I say to you, till that the heaven and the earth may pass away, one iota or one tittle may not pass away from the law, till that all may come to pass.
He ʻoku ou tala moʻoni kiate kimoutolu, ʻE tomuʻa mole ʻae langi mo e fonua ka ʻe ʻikai mole ha kihiʻi konga siʻi mei he fono, ka ʻe fakamoʻoni kotoa pē.
19 'Whoever therefore may loose one of these commands — the least — and may teach men so, least he shall be called in the reign of the heavens, but whoever may do and may teach [them], he shall be called great in the reign of the heavens.
Ko ia te ne liʻaki ha [fekau ]siʻi ʻi he ngaahi fekau ni, pea akonaki pehē ki he kakai, ʻe ui ia ko e siʻi hifo ʻi he puleʻanga ʻoe langi: ka ko ia te ne fai ia, mo akonaki ʻaki ia, ʻe ui ia ko e lahi ʻi he puleʻanga ʻoe langi.
20 'For I say to you, that if your righteousness may not abound above that of the scribes and Pharisees, ye may not enter to the reign of the heavens.
He ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Kapau ʻe ʻikai lahi hake hoʻomou māʻoniʻoni ʻi he [māʻoniʻoni ]ʻoe kau tangata tohi mo e Fālesi, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te mou hū ki he puleʻanga ʻoe langi.
21 'Ye heard that it was said to the ancients: Thou shalt not kill, and whoever may kill shall be in danger of the judgment;
“Kuo mou fanongo naʻe pehē kiate kinautolu ʻi muʻa, ‘ʻOua naʻa ke fakapō; pea ko ia ʻe fakapō ʻe tuʻutāmaki ia ki he fakamaau.’
22 but I — I say to you, that every one who is angry at his brother without cause, shall be in danger of the judgment, and whoever may say to his brother, Empty fellow! shall be in danger of the sanhedrim, and whoever may say, Rebel! shall be in danger of the gehenna of the fire. (Geenna g1067)
Ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Ko ia ʻe ʻita noa pē ki hono kāinga, ʻe tuʻutāmaki ia ki he fakamaau: pea ko ia te ne ui hono kāinga, ‘Ko e vale,’ ʻe tuʻutāmaki ia ki he fakamaau lahi: ka ko ia te ne lea pehē, ‘Ko e faha koe,’ ʻe tuʻutāmaki ia ki he afi ʻo heli. (Geenna g1067)
23 'If, therefore, thou mayest bring thy gift to the altar, and there mayest remember that thy brother hath anything against thee,
Ko ia kapau ʻoku ke ʻomi hoʻo meʻa foaki ki he ʻesi feilaulau, pea ke toki manatuʻi ai ʻoku koviʻia ho kāinga kiate koe;
24 leave there thy gift before the altar, and go — first be reconciled to thy brother, and then having come bring thy gift.
Tuku hoʻo meʻa foaki ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻesi feilaulau, pea ke ʻalu koe; ʻo tomuʻa fakalelei ki ho kāinga, pea ke toki haʻu, ʻo ʻoatu hoʻo meʻa foaki.
25 'Be agreeing with thy opponent quickly, while thou art in the way with him, that the opponent may not deliver thee to the judge, and the judge may deliver thee to the officer, and to prison thou mayest be cast,
“Fakalelei vave mo ho fili, lolotonga hoʻomo kei ʻi he hala mo ia, telia naʻa tukuange koe ʻe ho fili ki he fakamaau, pea tuku koe ʻe he fakamaau ki he pule, pea ʻe tuku koe ki he fale fakapōpula.
26 verily I say to thee, thou mayest not come forth thence till that thou mayest pay the last farthing.
Ko ʻeku tala moʻoni kiate koe, ʻE ʻikai ʻaupito te ke hao mei ai, kaeʻoua ke ke ʻoatu ʻae totongi kotoa pē.
27 'Ye heard that it was said to the ancients: Thou shalt not commit adultery;
“Kuo mou fanongo naʻe pehē kiate kinautolu ʻi muʻa, ‘ʻOua naʻa ke tono fefine:’
28 but I — I say to you, that every one who is looking on a woman to desire her, did already commit adultery with her in his heart.
Ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Ko ia ʻoku fakasio ki ha fefine ke holi ki ai, ʻoku tonoʻi ia ʻe ia ʻi hono loto.
29 'But, if thy right eye doth cause thee to stumble, pluck it out and cast from thee, for it is good to thee that one of thy members may perish, and not thy whole body be cast to gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
Pea kapau ʻoku fakahalaʻi koe ʻe ho mata toʻomataʻu, kapeʻi ia, ʻo liʻaki ia ʻiate koe: he ʻoku ʻaonga kiate koe ke ʻauha ho konga ʻe taha, kaeʻoua naʻa lī ho sino kotoa ki heli. (Geenna g1067)
30 'And, if thy right hand doth cause thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast from thee, for it is good to thee that one of thy members may perish, and not thy whole body be cast to gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
Pea kapau ʻe fakahalaʻi koe ʻe ho nima toʻomataʻu, tutuʻu ia, ʻo liʻaki ia ʻiate koe; he ʻoku ʻaonga kiate koe ke ʻauha ho konga ʻe taha, kaeʻoua naʻa lī ho sino kotoa ki heli. (Geenna g1067)
31 'And it was said, That whoever may put away his wife, let him give to her a writing of divorce;
“Naʻe tala, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko ia ʻoku tukuange hono uaifi, ke ne ʻoange kiate ia ʻae tohi māvae:’
32 but I — I say to you, that whoever may put away his wife, save for the matter of whoredom, doth make her to commit adultery; and whoever may marry her who hath been put away doth commit adultery.
Ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Ko ia ʻe tukuange hono uaifi, ka ʻi heʻene tono tangata, ʻoku ne fakatonotangataʻi ia: pea ko ia ʻe mali mo ia kuo fakamāvae, ko e tono fefine ia.
33 'Again, ye heard that it was said to the ancients: Thou shalt not swear falsely, but thou shalt pay to the Lord thine oaths;
“Kuo mou fanongo foki, naʻe pehē ʻiate kinautolu ʻi muʻa, ‘ʻOua naʻa ke fuakava loi, ka ke fai kia Sihova hoʻo fuakava:’
34 but I — I say to you, not to swear at all; neither by the heaven, because it is the throne of God,
Ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻoua te mou fuakava: pe ki he langi; he ko e ʻafioʻanga ia ʻoe ʻOtua:
35 nor by the earth, because it is His footstool, nor by Jerusalem, because it is a city of a great king,
pe ki he fonua; he ko hono tuʻungavaʻe: pe ki Selūsalema; he ko e kolo ia ʻoe Tuʻi lahi.
36 nor by thy head mayest thou swear, because thou art not able one hair to make white or black;
Pea ʻoua naʻa ke fuakava ki ho ʻulu, he ʻoku ʻikai te ke faʻa ngaohi ha tuʻoni louʻulu ke hinehina pe ʻuliʻuli.
37 but let your word be, Yes, Yes, No, No, and that which is more than these is of the evil.
Ka ʻi hoʻomou alea, ke ‘ʻIo’ pe hoʻomou ‘ʻIo;’ mo ‘ʻIkai’ pe hoʻomou ‘ʻIkai:’ he ko ia ʻoku fakalahi ʻaki ʻa eni, ʻoku tupu ʻi he kovi.
38 'Ye heard that it was said: Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth;
“Kuo mou fanongo naʻe lea pehē, ‘[Ke totongi ]ʻaki ʻae mata ʻae mata, mo e nifo ʻae nifo:’
39 but I — I say to you, not to resist the evil, but whoever shall slap thee on thy right cheek, turn to him also the other;
Ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Ke ʻoua naʻa mou talia ha taha angakovi: ka ko ia te ne sipiʻi ho [kouʻahe ]toʻomataʻu, fulihi atu foki kiate ia ho kouʻahe ʻe taha.
40 and whoever is willing to take thee to law, and thy coat to take — suffer to him also the cloak.
Pea kapau ʻe loto ha taha ke fakamaau koe, ka ne maʻu ai ho kofutuʻa, tuku ke ne maʻu mo ho pulupulu foki.
41 'And whoever shall impress thee one mile, go with him two,
Pea ko ia ʻe fakafiuʻi koe ke mo ō mo ia ʻi he maile ʻe taha, ʻalu mo ia [ʻi he maile ]ʻe ua.
42 to him who is asking of thee be giving, and him who is willing to borrow from thee thou mayest not turn away.
Foaki kiate ia ʻoku kole kiate koe, pea ʻoua naʻa fulituʻa kiate ia ʻoku fie nō meiate koe.
43 'Ye heard that it was said: Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and shalt hate thine enemy;
“Kuo mou fanongo naʻe lea pehē, ‘Ke ke ʻofa ki ho kaungāʻapi, kae fehiʻa ki ho fili.’
44 but I — 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,
Ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻOfa ki homou ngaahi fili, tāpuakiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻoku kapeʻi ʻakimoutolu, fai lelei kiate kinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate kimoutolu, pea hūfia ʻakinautolu ʻoku fai kovi mo fakatanga kiate kimoutolu;
45 that ye may be sons of your Father in the heavens, because His sun He doth cause to rise on evil and good, and He doth send rain on righteous and unrighteous.
koeʻuhi ke mou taau mo e fānau ʻa hoʻomou Tamai ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he langi: he ʻoku ne pule ke hopo ʻene laʻā ki he angakovi mo e angalelei, pea ʻoku ne tuku ʻae ʻuha ki he angatonu mo e taʻeangatonu.
46 'For, if ye may love those loving you, what reward have ye? do not also the tax-gatherers the same?
He kapau ʻoku mou ʻofa kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻofa kiate kimoutolu, ko e hā ʻae totongi te mou maʻu? He ʻikai ʻoku fai pehē ʻae kau tānaki tukuhau?
47 and if ye may salute your brethren only, what do ye abundant? do not also the tax-gatherers so?
Pea kapau ʻoku mou feʻofoʻofani mo homou kāinga pe, ʻoku lelei lahi hake ia? He ʻikai ʻoku pehē ʻae kau tānaki tukuhau?
48 ye shall therefore be perfect, as your Father who [is] in the heavens is perfect.
Ko ia ke haohaoa ʻakimoutolu he ʻoku haohaoa ʻa hoʻomou Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langi.
