Mattheum 5
1 Videns autem Iesus turbas, ascendit in montem, et cum sedisset, accesserunt ad eum discipuli eius,
And seeing the crowds, he went up onto the mountain, and when he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
2 et aperiens os suum docebat eos dicens:
Then he opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
3 Beati pauperes spiritu: quoniam ipsorum est regnum caelorum.
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Beati mites: quoniam ipsi possidebunt terram.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
5 Beati, qui lugent: quoniam ipsi consolabuntur.
Blessed are the gentle, for they will inherit the earth.
6 Beati, qui esuriunt, et sitiunt iustitiam: quoniam ipsi saturabuntur.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they will be filled.
7 Beati misericordes: quoniam ipsi misericordiam consequentur.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will obtain mercy.
8 Beati mundo corde: quoniam ipsi Deum videbunt.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
9 Beati pacifici: quoniam filii Dei vocabuntur.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of God.
10 Beati, qui persecutionem patiuntur propter iustitiam: quoniam ipsorum est regnum caelorum.
Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Beati estis cum maledixerint vobis homines, et persecuti vos fuerint, et dixerint omne malum adversum vos mentientes, propter me:
"Blessed are you when they insult you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 gaudete, et exultate, quoniam merces vestra copiosa est in caelis. sic enim persecuti sunt prophetas, qui fuerunt ante vos.
Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
13 Vos estis sal terrae. Quod si sal evanuerit, in quo salietur? ad nihilum valet ultra, nisi ut mittatur foras, et conculcetur ab hominibus.
"You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its flavor, with what will it be salted? It is then good for nothing, but to be cast out and trampled under people's feet.
14 Vos estis lux mundi. Non potest civitas abscondi supra montem posita.
You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill cannot be hidden.
15 neque accendunt lucernam, et ponunt eam sub modio, sed super candelabrum ut luceat omnibus, qui in domo sunt.
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.
16 Sic luceat lux vestra coram hominibus: ut videant opera vestra bona, et glorificent patrem vestrum, qui in caelis est.
In the same way, let your light shine before people, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
17 Nolite putare quoniam veni solvere legem, aut prophetas: non veni solvere, sed adimplere.
"Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
18 Amen quippe dico vobis, donec transeat caelum et terra, iota unum, aut unus apex non praeteribit a lege, donec omnia fiant.
For truly, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or part of a letter will disappear from the Law, until all things are accomplished.
19 Qui ergo solverit unum de mandatis istis minimis, et docuerit sic homines, minimus vocabitur in regno caelorum: qui autem fecerit et docuerit, hic magnus vocabitur in regno caelorum.
Therefore, whoever will break one of these least commandments, and teach others to do so, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever will do and teach them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 Dico enim vobis, quia nisi abundaverit iustitia vestra plus quam Scribarum, et Pharisaeorum, non intrabitis in regnum caelorum.
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.
21 Audistis quia dictum est antiquis: Non occides: qui autem occiderit, reus erit iudicio.
"You have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, 'Do not murder;' and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.
22 Ego autem dico vobis: quia omnis qui irascitur fratri suo, reus erit iudicio. Qui autem dixerit fratri suo, raca: reus erit concilio. Qui autem dixerit, fatue: reus erit gehennae ignis. (Geenna g1067)
But I tell you, that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause will be liable to judgment; and whoever will say to his brother, 'Raqa,' will be in danger of the council; and whoever will say, 'You fool,' will be in danger of the fire of hell. (Geenna g1067)
23 Si ergo offers munus tuum ad altare, et ibi recordatus fueris quia frater tuus habet aliquid adversum te:
"If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you,
24 relinque ibi munus tuum ante altare, et vade prius reconciliari fratri tuo: et tunc veniens offeres munus tuum.
leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
25 Esto consentiens adversario tuo cito dum es in via cum eo: ne forte tradat te adversarius iudici, et iudex tradat te ministro: et in carcerem mittaris.
Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are with him in the way; lest perhaps the prosecutor deliver you to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you be cast into prison.
26 Amen dico tibi, non exies inde, donec reddas novissimum quadrantem.
Truly I tell you, you will never get out of there until you have paid the last penny.
27 Audistis quia dictum est antiquis: Non moechaberis.
"You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery;'
28 Ego autem dico vobis: quia omnis, qui viderit mulierem ad concupiscendum eam, iam moechatus est eam in corde suo.
but I tell you that everyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.
29 Quod si oculus tuus dexter scandalizat te, erue eum, et proiice abs te: expedit enim tibi ut pereat unum membrorum tuorum, quam totum corpus tuum mittatur in gehennam. (Geenna g1067)
And 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 hell. (Geenna g1067)
30 Et si dextra manus tua scandalizat te, abscinde eam, et proiice abs te: expedit enim tibi ut pereat unum membrorum tuorum, quam totum corpus tuum eat in gehennam. (Geenna g1067)
And 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 hell. (Geenna g1067)
31 Dictum est autem: Quicumque dimiserit uxorem suam, det ei libellum repudii.
"And it was said, 'Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce,'
32 Ego autem dico vobis: Quia omnis, qui dimiserit uxorem suam, excepta fornicationis causa, facit eam moechari: et qui dimissam duxerit, adulterat.
but I tell you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is divorced commits adultery.
33 Iterum audistis quia dictum est antiquis: Non periurabis: reddes autem Domino iuramenta tua.
"Again you have heard that it was said to them of old time, 'Do not make false vows, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.'
34 Ego autem dico vobis, non iurare omnino, neque per caelum, quia thronus Dei est:
But I tell you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;
35 neque per terram, quia scabellum est pedum eius: neque per Ierosolymam, quia civitas est magni regis:
nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.
36 neque per caput tuum iuraveris, quia non potes unum capillum album facere, aut nigrum.
Neither should you swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black.
37 Sit autem sermo vester, est, est: non, non: quod autem his abundantius est, a malo est.
But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes' and your 'No' be 'No.' Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.
38 Audistis quia dictum est: Oculum pro oculo, et dentem pro dente.
"You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.'
39 Ego autem dico vobis, non resistere malo: sed si quis te percusserit in dexteram maxillam tuam, praebe illi et alteram:
But I tell you, do not set yourself against the one who is evil. But whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 et ei, qui vult tecum in iudicio contendere, et tunicam tuam tollere, dimitte ei et pallium.
And if anyone sues you to take away your shirt, let him have your coat also.
41 et quicumque te angariaverit mille passus, vade cum illo et alia duo.
And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.
42 Qui petit a te, da ei: et volenti mutuari a te, ne avertaris.
Give to him who asks you, and do not turn away him who desires to borrow from you.
43 Audistis quia dictum est: Diliges proximum tuum, et odio habebis inimicum tuum.
"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.'
44 Ego autem dico vobis: Diligite inimicos vestros, benefacite his, qui oderunt vos: et orate pro persequentibus et calumniantibus vos:
But I tell you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you,
45 ut sitis filii patris vestri, qui in caelis est: qui solem suum oriri facit super bonos, et malos: et pluit super iustos et iniustos.
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.
46 Si enim diligitis eos, qui vos diligunt, quam mercedem habebitis? nonne et publicani hoc faciunt?
For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
47 Et si salutaveritis fratres vestros tantum, quid amplius facitis? nonne et ethnici hoc faciunt?
And if you only greet your brothers, what more do you do than others? Do not even the non-Jews do the same?
48 Estote ergo vos perfecti, sicut et pater vester caelestis perfectus est.
You therefore are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
