Κατα Ματθαιον 5
1 ιδων δε τους οχλους ανεβη εις το ορος και καθισαντος αυτου προσηλθον αυτω οι μαθηται αυτου
And when Jesus saw the multitudes, he ascended a hill; and when he was seated, his disciples drew near him:
2 και ανοιξας το στομα αυτου εδιδασκεν αυτους λεγων
and he opened his mouth, and taught them, and said:
3 μακαριοι οι πτωχοι τω πνευματι οτι αυτων εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων
Blessed are the poor in spirit for the kingdom of heaven is theirs!
4 μακαριοι οι πενθουντες οτι αυτοι παρακληθησονται
Blessed are the mourners: for they shall be comforted!
5 μακαριοι οι πραεις οτι αυτοι κληρονομησουσιν την γην
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth!
6 μακαριοι οι πεινωντες και διψωντες την δικαιοσυνην οτι αυτοι χορτασθησονται
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst for righteousness: for they shall be satiated!
7 μακαριοι οι ελεημονες οτι αυτοι ελεηθησονται
Blessed are the merciful: for on them shall be mercies!
8 μακαριοι οι καθαροι τη καρδια οτι αυτοι τον θεον οψονται
Blessed are the clean in heart: for they shall behold God!
9 μακαριοι οι ειρηνοποιοι οτι αυτοι υιοι θεου κληθησονται
Blessed are the cultivators of peace: for they shall be called sons of God!
10 μακαριοι οι δεδιωγμενοι ενεκεν δικαιοσυνης οτι αυτων εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων
Blessed are they that are persecuted on account of righteousness: for the kingdom of heaven is theirs!
11 μακαριοι εστε οταν ονειδισωσιν υμας και διωξωσιν και ειπωσιν παν πονηρον ρημα καθ υμων ψευδομενοι ενεκεν εμου
Blessed are ye, when they revile you and persecute you, and speak every evil thing against you, falsely, on my account.
12 χαιρετε και αγαλλιασθε οτι ο μισθος υμων πολυς εν τοις ουρανοις ουτως γαρ εδιωξαν τους προφητας τους προ υμων
At that time, rejoice and be glad: for your reward in heaven is great. For so they persecuted the prophets that were before you.
13 υμεις εστε το αλας της γης εαν δε το αλας μωρανθη εν τινι αλισθησεται εις ουδεν ισχυει ετι ει μη βληθηναι εξω και καταπατεισθαι υπο των ανθρωπων
Ye are the salt of the earth! But if the salt become insipid, with what shall it be seasoned? It is fit for nothing; but to be thrown out, and be trodden under foot by men.
14 υμεις εστε το φως του κοσμου ου δυναται πολις κρυβηναι επανω ορους κειμενη
Ye are the light of the world! A city built upon a hill, not be concealed.
15 ουδε καιουσιν λυχνον και τιθεασιν αυτον υπο τον μοδιον αλλ επι την λυχνιαν και λαμπει πασιν τοις εν τη οικια
And they do not light a lamp and place it under a bushel; but upon a lightstand, and it giveth light to all that are in the house.
16 ουτως λαμψατω το φως υμων εμπροσθεν των ανθρωπων οπως ιδωσιν υμων τα καλα εργα και δοξασωσιν τον πατερα υμων τον εν τοις ουρανοις
Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and may glorify your Father who is in heaven.
17 μη νομισητε οτι ηλθον καταλυσαι τον νομον η τους προφητας ουκ ηλθον καταλυσαι αλλα πληρωσαι
Do not suppose that I have come to subvert the law or the prophets: I have come not to subvert, but to fulfill.
18 αμην γαρ λεγω υμιν εως αν παρελθη ο ουρανος και η γη ιωτα εν η μια κεραια ου μη παρελθη απο του νομου εως αν παντα γενηται
For verily I say to you, that until heaven and earth shall pass away, one iota or one letter shall not pass from the law, until all shall be fulfilled.
19 ος εαν ουν λυση μιαν των εντολων τουτων των ελαχιστων και διδαξη ουτως τους ανθρωπους ελαχιστος κληθησεται εν τη βασιλεια των ουρανων ος δ αν ποιηση και διδαξη ουτος μεγας κληθησεται εν τη βασιλεια των ουρανων
Therefore whoever shall break one of these small commands and shall so inculcate on the children of men, shall be called little in the kingdom of heaven: but every one that shall do and teach them, shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 λεγω γαρ υμιν οτι εαν μη περισσευση η δικαιοσυνη υμων πλειον των γραμματεων και φαρισαιων ου μη εισελθητε εις την βασιλειαν των ουρανων
For I say to you, that unless your righteousness shall abound more than that of the Scribes and Pharisees, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
21 ηκουσατε οτι ερρεθη τοις αρχαιοις ου φονευσεις ος δ αν φονευση ενοχος εσται τη κρισει
Ye have heard that it was said to the ancients, Thou shalt not kill: and every one that killeth, is obnoxious to judgment.
22 εγω δε λεγω υμιν οτι πας ο οργιζομενος τω αδελφω αυτου εικη ενοχος εσται τη κρισει ος δ αν ειπη τω αδελφω αυτου ρακα ενοχος εσται τω συνεδριω ος δ αν ειπη μωρε ενοχος εσται εις την γεενναν του πυρος (Geenna g1067)
But I say to you, That every one who is angry with his brother rashly, is obnoxious to judgment: and every one that saith to his brother, Raka! is obnoxious to the council: and every one that shall say, Fool is obnoxious to hell-fire. (Geenna g1067)
23 εαν ουν προσφερης το δωρον σου επι το θυσιαστηριον κακει μνησθης οτι ο αδελφος σου εχει τι κατα σου
If therefore thou shalt bring thy oblation to the altar, and shalt there remember that thy brother hath any offence against thee,
24 αφες εκει το δωρον σου εμπροσθεν του θυσιαστηριου και υπαγε πρωτον διαλλαγηθι τω αδελφω σου και τοτε ελθων προσφερε το δωρον σου
leave there thy oblation before the altar, and go first and be reconciled with thy brother; and then come and present thy oblation.
25 ισθι ευνοων τω αντιδικω σου ταχυ εως οτου ει εν τη οδω μετ αυτου μηποτε σε παραδω ο αντιδικος τω κριτη και ο κριτης σε παραδω τω υπηρετη και εις φυλακην βληθηση
Be at agreement with thy prosecutor, forthwith, and while on the way with him; lest the prosecutor deliver thee up to the judge, and the Judge deliver thee over to the sheriff, and thou fall into the house of prisoners.
26 αμην λεγω σοι ου μη εξελθης εκειθεν εως ου αποδως τον εσχατον κοδραντην
Verily I say to thee, Thou wilt not come out from there until thou hast paid the last farthing.
27 ηκουσατε οτι ερρεθη τοις αρχαιοις ου μοιχευσεις
Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt not commit adultery.
28 εγω δε λεγω υμιν οτι πας ο βλεπων γυναικα προς το επιθυμησαι αυτην ηδη εμοιχευσεν αυτην εν τη καρδια αυτου
But I say to you, That whoever gazeth on a woman with concupiscence, at once committeth adultery with her in his heart.
29 ει δε ο οφθαλμος σου ο δεξιος σκανδαλιζει σε εξελε αυτον και βαλε απο σου συμφερει γαρ σοι ινα αποληται εν των μελων σου και μη ολον το σωμα σου βληθη εις γεενναν (Geenna g1067)
If therefore thy right eye make thee offend, pluck it out, and cast it from thee; because it is better for thee that thy one member perish, than that thy whole body fall into hell. (Geenna g1067)
30 και ει η δεξια σου χειρ σκανδαλιζει σε εκκοψον αυτην και βαλε απο σου συμφερει γαρ σοι ινα αποληται εν των μελων σου και μη ολον το σωμα σου βληθη εις γεενναν (Geenna g1067)
And if thy right hand make thee offend, cut it off, and cast it from thee; because it is better for thee that one of thy members perish, than that thy whole body fall into hell. (Geenna g1067)
31 ερρεθη δε ος αν απολυση την γυναικα αυτου δοτω αυτη αποστασιον
It hath been said, That if a man will put away his wife, he must give her a writing of divorcement.
32 εγω δε λεγω υμιν οτι ος αν απολυση την γυναικα αυτου παρεκτος λογου πορνειας ποιει αυτην μοιχασθαι και ος εαν απολελυμενην γαμηση μοιχαται
But I say to you, That whoever putteth away his wife, except for the offence of whoredom, causeth her to commit adultery: and he that taketh the divorced woman, committeth adultery.
33 παλιν ηκουσατε οτι ερρεθη τοις αρχαιοις ουκ επιορκησεις αποδωσεις δε τω κυριω τους ορκους σου
Again, ye have heard that it hath been said to the ancients, Thou shalt not be false in thy oaths; but thou shalt perform thine oaths to the Lord.
34 εγω δε λεγω υμιν μη ομοσαι ολως μητε εν τω ουρανω οτι θρονος εστιν του θεου
But I say to you, Swear not at all: not by heaven, for it is the throne of God:
35 μητε εν τη γη οτι υποποδιον εστιν των ποδων αυτου μητε εις ιεροσολυμα οτι πολις εστιν του μεγαλου βασιλεως
and not by the earth, for it is the footstool under his feet: and likewise not by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great king.
36 μητε εν τη κεφαλη σου ομοσης οτι ου δυνασαι μιαν τριχα λευκην η μελαιναν ποιησαι
Moreover, thou shalt not swear by thy head, for thou canst not make one hair in it either black or white.
37 εστω δε ο λογος υμων ναι ναι ου ου το δε περισσον τουτων εκ του πονηρου εστιν
But let your language be, Yes, yes; or No, no; for whatever is beyond these proceedeth from evil.
38 ηκουσατε οτι ερρεθη οφθαλμον αντι οφθαλμου και οδοντα αντι οδοντος
Ye have heard that it hath been said: An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.
39 εγω δε λεγω υμιν μη αντιστηναι τω πονηρω αλλ οστις σε ραπισει επι την δεξιαν σιαγονα στρεψον αυτω και την αλλην
But I say to you: Resist not evil; but if a person smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 και τω θελοντι σοι κριθηναι και τον χιτωνα σου λαβειν αφες αυτω και το ιματιον
And if one is disposed to sue thee and get away thy coat, relinquish to him also thy cloak.
41 και οστις σε αγγαρευσει μιλιον εν υπαγε μετ αυτου δυο
Whoever compelleth thee to go one mile, go with him two.
42 τω αιτουντι σε διδου και τον θελοντα απο σου δανεισασθαι μη αποστραφης
Whoever demandeth of thee, give to him: and whoever wisheth to borrow of thee, deny him not.
43 ηκουσατε οτι ερρεθη αγαπησεις τον πλησιον σου και μισησεις τον εχθρον σου
Ye have heard that it hath been said: Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thy enemy.
44 εγω δε λεγω υμιν αγαπατε τους εχθρους υμων ευλογειτε τους καταρωμενους υμας καλως ποιειτε τοις μισουσιν υμας και προσευχεσθε υπερ των επηρεαζοντων υμας και διωκοντων υμας
But I say to you: Love your enemies; and bless him that curseth you; and do good to him that hateth you; and pray for them that lead you in bonds, and that persecute you:
45 οπως γενησθε υιοι του πατρος υμων του εν ουρανοις οτι τον ηλιον αυτου ανατελλει επι πονηρους και αγαθους και βρεχει επι δικαιους και αδικους
that ye may be the children of your Father that is in heaven, who causeth his sun to rise upon the good and upon the bad, and sendeth his rain upon the righteous and upon the unrighteous.
46 εαν γαρ αγαπησητε τους αγαπωντας υμας τινα μισθον εχετε ουχι και οι τελωναι το αυτο ποιουσιν
For, if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? Do not even the publicans do this?
47 και εαν ασπασησθε τους φιλους υμων μονον τι περισσον ποιειτε ουχι και οι τελωναι ουτως ποιουσιν
And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye that is not common? Do not even publicans do this?
48 εσεσθε ουν υμεις τελειοι ωσπερ ο πατηρ υμων ο εν τοις ουρανοις τελειος εστιν
Be ye therefore perfect; even as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.
