Matiu 5
1 A, i tona kitenga i te whakaminenga, ka haere ia ki runga ki te maunga: a, no ka noho ia, ka haere ana akonga ki a ia:
And seeing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain; and when he had sat down, his disciples came to him;
2 Na ka puaki tona mangai, a ka whakaako ia i a ratou, ka mea,
and he opened his mouth and taught them, saying:
3 Ka koa te hunga he rawakore nei te wairua: no ratou hoki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.
Blessed are the poor in spirit; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Ka koa te hunga e tangi ana: ka whakamarietia hoki ratou.
Blessed are they that mourn; for they shall be comforted.
5 Ka koa te hunga ngakau mahaki: ka riro hoki i a ratou te whenua.
Blessed are the meek; for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Ka koa te hunga e hiakai ana, e hiainu ana, ki te tika: e makona hoki ratou.
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst for righteousness; for they shall be filled.
7 Ka koa te hunga tohu tangata: e tohungia hoki ratou.
Blessed are the merciful; for they shall receive mercy.
8 Ka koa te hunga ngakau ma: e kite hoki ratou i te Atua.
Blessed are the pure in heart; for they shall see God.
9 Ka koa te hunga hohou rongo: ka huaina hoki ratou he tamariki na te Atua.
Blessed are the peacemakers; for they shall be called sons of God.
10 Ka koa te hunga e whakatoia ana mo te tika: no ratou hoki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.
Blessed are they that are persecuted on account of righteousness; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Ka koa koutou ina tawai ratou i a koutou, ina whakatoi, ina puaki i a ratou nga kupu kino katoa mo koutou, he mea teka, he whakaaro hoki ki ahau.
Blessed are you, when they shall reproach you, and persecute you, and say every evil thing against you, falsely, on my account.
12 Kia hari, kia whakamanamana: he rahi hoki te utu mo koutou i te rangi: he penei hoki ta ratou whakatoi i nga poropiti i mua i a koutou.
Rejoice, and leap for joy; for great is your reward in heaven: for so did they persecute the prophets who were before you.
13 Ko koutou te tote o te whenua: otira ki te hemo te ha o te tote, ma te aha e whai tikanga tote ai? heoi ano tona painga, na ka akiritia ki waho, ka takahia e nga tangata.
You are the salt of the earth: but if the salt has become tasteless, by what means shall it become salt again? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trod upon by men.
14 Ko koutou te whakamarama o te ao. E kore e ngaro te pa e tu ana i runga maunga.
You are the light of the world: a city that lies upon a mountain can not be hid:
15 E kore hoki e tahuna te rama, e whakaturia ki raro o te mehua, engari ki runga ki te turanga; a ka tiaho ki nga tangata katoa i roto i te whare.
neither do men light a lamp and place it under the measure, but on the lamp-stand, and it gives light to all that are in the house.
16 Waihoki kia tiaho to koutou marama ki te aroaro o nga tangata, kia kite ai ratou i a koutou hanga pai, kia whakakororia ai i to koutou Matua i te rangi.
In this way let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
17 Kei mea koutou i haere mai ahau ki te whakakahore i te ture, i nga poropiti ranei; kihai ahau i haere mai ki te whakakahore, engari ki te whakatutuki.
Think not that I have come to make the law or the prophets of no effect. I have not come to make them of no effect, but to give them their full efficiency.
18 He tino pono hoki taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Pahemo noa te rangi me te whenua, e kore tetahi tongi, tetahi tohu ranei o te ture e pahemo, kia rite katoa ra ano.
For verily I say to you, Till heaven and earth pass away, one yod or one point shall in no way pass from the law till all be fulfilled.
19 Na, ki te whakakahore tetahi i tetahi mea iti rawa o enei kupu ako, a ka ako i nga tangata kia pera, ka kiia ia ko te iti rawa i te rangatiratanga o te rangi: engari ki te whakaritea e tetahi, ki te whakaakona, ka kiia ia he nui i te rangatirata nga o te rangi.
Whoever, therefore, shall make void one of the least of these commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever shall do and teach, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 Ko taku kupu hoki tenei ki a koutou, Ki te kore e nui ake ta koutou mahi tika i ta nga karaipi ratou ko nga Parihi, e kore rawa koutou e tapoko ki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.
For I say to you, That, unless your righteousness excel that of the scribes and Pharisees, you can by no means enter into the kingdom of heaven.
21 Kua rongo koutou, i korerotia ki nga tupuna, Kaua e patu tangata; a ki te patu tangata tetahi, ka tau te he ki a ia.
You have heard that it was said to the ancients: You shall not kill; and whoever shall kill, shall be liable to the sentence of the judges.
22 Na ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Ki te riri noa tetahi ki tona teina, ka tau te he ki a ia; a ki te mea tetahi ki tona teina, Wairangi! ka tika kia komititia: na ki te mea tetahi, Poauau! ka tika mona te kapura o Kehena. (Geenna g1067)
But I say to you, Whoever is angry with his brother without a cause, shall be liable to the sentence of the judges. And whoever shall say to his brother, Worthless fellow, shall be liable to the sentence of the Sanhedrin. But who ever shall say, Impious wretch, shall be in danger of hell-fire. (Geenna g1067)
23 Na reira, ki te mauria e koe tau whakahere ki te aata, a ka mahara i reira i hara koe ki tou hoa;
If, therefore, you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has any thing against you,
24 Waiho tau whakahere i reira, i mua o te aata, a haere, matua houhia te rongo ki tou teina, ka haere ai, ka mau ai i tau whakahere.
leave your gift there before the altar, and go, first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
25 Kia hohoro te whakarite i ta korua korero ko tou hoa tauwhainga, i a korua ano i te ara, kei tukua koe e te hoa tauwhainga ki te kaiwhakawa, a ka tukua e te kaiwhakawa ki te katipa, a ka maka koe ki te whare herehere.
Come to an agreement with your opponent at law quickly, while you are on the road with him, lest your opponent at law deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be thrown into prison.
26 He pono taku e mea atu nei ki a koe, E kore rawa koe e puta i reira, kia utua ra ano te patene whakamutunga.
Verily, I say to you, You shall by no means come out thence, till you have paid the last farthing.
27 Kua rongo koutou, i korerotia, Kaua e puremu:
You have heard that it was said: You shall not commit adultery.
28 Na ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Ki te titiro tetahi ki te wahine, he hiahia ki a ia, kua puremu ke ia ki a ia i roto i tona ngakau.
But I say to you, Whoever looks upon a woman to cherish desire for her, has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
29 Ki te he koe i tou kanohi matau, tikarohia, maka atu: he pai ke hoki ki a koe ki te ngaro tetahi wahi ou, a ka kore e maka tou tinana katoa ki Kehena. (Geenna g1067)
If, then, your right eye ensnare you, tear it out, and throw it from you; for it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not that your whole body should be thrown into hell. (Geenna g1067)
30 Ki te he ano hoki koe i tou ringa matau, poutoa, maka atu: he pai ke ki te mate tetahi wahi ou, a ka kore e maka tou tinana katoa ki Kehena. (Geenna g1067)
And if your right hand ensnare you, cut it off, and throw it from you; for it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not that your whole body should be thrown into hell. (Geenna g1067)
31 I korerotia ano, Ki te whakarere tetahi i tana wahine, me hoatu ki a ia tetahi pukapuka whakarere:
It has been said: Whoever will put away his wife, let him give her a bill of divorce.
32 Na ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Ki te whakarere tetahi i tana wahine, haunga mo te take moepuku, e mea ana ia i te wahine kia puremu: a ki te marena tetahi i te wahine i whakarerea, e puremu ana ia.
But I say to you, Whoever shall put away his wife, unless on account of lewdness, causes her to commit adultery: and whoever marries her that is divorced, commits adultery.
33 Kua rongo ano koutou, i korerotia ki nga tupuna, Kaua e oati teka, engari me whakamana au oati ki te Ariki:
Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients: You shall not swear falsely, but shall pay to the Lord your vows.
34 Na ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Kaua rawa tetahi mea e oatitia; kaua te rangi, ko to te Atua torona hoki ia:
But I say to you, Swear not at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;
35 Kaua hoki te whenua; ko te turanga hoki tera o ona waewae: kaua hoki a Hiruharama; ko te pa hoki tera o te Kingi nui.
nor by the earth, for it is his footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King:
36 Kaua ano e oatitia tou matenga, e kore hoki e ahei i a koe te mea kia ma tetahi makawe, kia mangu ranei.
neither shall you swear by your head, for you can not make one hair white or black.
37 Erangi ko tenei hei kupu ma koutou, Ae, ae; Kahore, kahore: no te mea ki te maha atu i ena, no te kino.
But let your word be, Yes, yes; No, no; for whatever is more than these is of the Evil One.
38 Kua rongo koutou i korerotia, He kanohi mo te kanohi, he niho mo te niho:
You have heard that it was said: An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.
39 Na ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Kaua e whakauaua atu ki te kino; erangi ki te pakia tou paparinga matau e tetahi, whakaangahia atu hoki tera ki a ia.
But I say to you, Resist not the injurious. But whoever will smite you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 A ki te mea tetahi kia whakawakia koe, ka tangohia tou koti, tukua atu hoki tou ngeri ki a ia.
And to him that will go to law with you, and take away your coat, give your mantle also.
41 A ki te tonoa koe e tetahi kia haere kotahi te maero, kia rua au e haere tahi ai me ia.
And whoever will compel you to go one mile, go with him two.
42 Hoatu ki te tangata e tono mea ana i a koe, kaua hoki e tahuri ke i te tangata e mea ana ki te taonga tarewa i a koe.
Give to him that asks of you; and from him that would borrow of you, turn not away.
43 Kua rongo koutou i korerotia, Kia aroha ki tou hoa tata, kia kino hoki ki tou hoa whawhai:
You have heard that it was said: You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.
44 Na ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Arohaina o koutou hoa whawhai, manaakitia te hunga e kanga ana i a koutou, kia pai te mahi ki te hunga e kino ana ki a koutou, me inoi hoki mo te hunga e whakawhiu ana i a koutou, e whakatoi ana i a koutou;
But I say to you, Love your enemies: bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who insult you and persecute you:
45 Kia tupu ai koutou hei tamariki ma to koutou Matua i te rangi: e mea nei hoki ia i tona ra kia whiti ki te hunga kino, ki te hunga pai, kia ua hoki te ua ki te hunga tika, ki te hunga he.
that you may be the sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun to rise upon the evil and the good, and causes it to rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 Ki te aroha hoki koutou ki te hunga e aroha ana ki a koutou, he aha te utu e riro i a koutou? Kahore ianei nga pupirikana e pena?
For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the publicans the same?
47 A ki te oha koutou ki o koutou teina anake, he aha ta koutou mahi i nui ake i ta etahi? kahore ianei nga tauiwi e pena hoki?
And if you salute your brethren only, in what do you excel? Do not even the publicans so?
48 Na kia tika koutou, kia pera me to koutou Matua i te rangi e tika ana.
Be you therefore perfect, as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.
