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 great masses of people he went up into the mountain; and when he was seated his disciples came to him.
2 Na ka puaki tona mangai, a ka whakaako ia i a ratou, ka mea,
And with these words he gave them teaching, saying,
3 Ka koa te hunga he rawakore nei te wairua: no ratou hoki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.
Happy are the poor in spirit: for the kingdom of heaven is theirs.
4 Ka koa te hunga e tangi ana: ka whakamarietia hoki ratou.
Happy are those who are sad: for they will be comforted.
5 Ka koa te hunga ngakau mahaki: ka riro hoki i a ratou te whenua.
Happy are the gentle: for the earth will be their heritage.
6 Ka koa te hunga e hiakai ana, e hiainu ana, ki te tika: e makona hoki ratou.
Happy are those whose heart's desire is for righteousness: for they will have their desire.
7 Ka koa te hunga tohu tangata: e tohungia hoki ratou.
Happy are those who have mercy: for they will be given mercy.
8 Ka koa te hunga ngakau ma: e kite hoki ratou i te Atua.
Happy are the clean in heart: for they will see God.
9 Ka koa te hunga hohou rongo: ka huaina hoki ratou he tamariki na te Atua.
Happy are the peacemakers: for they will be named sons of God.
10 Ka koa te hunga e whakatoia ana mo te tika: no ratou hoki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.
Happy are those who are attacked on account of righteousness: for the kingdom of heaven will be theirs.
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.
Happy are you when men give you a bad name, and are cruel to you, and say all evil things against you falsely, because of me.
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.
Be glad and full of joy; for great is your reward in heaven: for so were the prophets attacked 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 its taste goes from the salt, how will you make it salt again? it is then good for nothing but to be put out and crushed under foot 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 town put on a hill may be seen by all.
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.
And a burning light is not put under a vessel, but on its table; so that its rays may be shining on all who 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.
Even so let your light be shining before men, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father 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.
Let there be no thought that I have come to put an end to the law or the prophets. I have not come for destruction, but to make complete.
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.
Truly I say to you, Till heaven and earth come to an end, not the smallest letter or part of a letter will in any way be taken from the law, till all things are done.
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 then goes against the smallest of these laws, teaching men to do the same, will be named least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who keeps the laws, teaching others to keep them, will be named 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, If your righteousness is not greater than the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never go 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 knowledge that it was said in old times, You may not put to death; and, Whoever puts to death will be in danger of being judged:
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 that everyone who is angry with his brother will be in danger of being judged; and he who says to his brother, Raca, will be in danger from the Sanhedrin; and whoever says, You foolish one, will be in danger of the hell of 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 then you are making an offering at the altar and there it comes to your mind that your brother has something 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.
While your offering is still before the altar, first go and make peace with your brother, then come and make your offering.
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 quickly with him who has a cause against you at law, while you are with him on the way, for fear that he may give you up to the judge and the judge may give you to the police and you may be put 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.
Truly I say to you, You will not come out from there till you have made payment of the very last farthing.
27 Kua rongo koutou, i korerotia, Kaua e puremu:
You have knowledge that it was said, You may not have connection with another man's wife:
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 that everyone whose eyes are turned on a woman with desire has had connection 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)
And if your right eye is a cause of trouble to you, take it out and put it away from you; because it is better to undergo the loss of one part, than for all your body to go 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 is a cause of trouble to you, let it be cut off and put it away from you; because it is better to undergo the loss of one part, than for all your body to go into hell. (Geenna g1067)
31 I korerotia ano, Ki te whakarere tetahi i tana wahine, me hoatu ki a ia tetahi pukapuka whakarere:
Again, it was said, Whoever puts away his wife has to give her a statement in writing for this purpose:
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 that everyone who puts away his wife for any other cause but the loss of her virtue, makes her false to her husband; and whoever takes her as his wife after she is put away, is no true husband to her.
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 knowledge that it was said in old times, Do not take false oaths, but give effect to your oaths to the Lord:
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, Take no oaths at all: not by the heaven, because it is the seat 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.
Or by the earth, because it is the resting-place for his foot; or by Jerusalem, because it is the town 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.
You may not take an oath by your head, because you are not able to 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 words be simply, Yes or No: and 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 knowledge 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, Do not make use of force against an evil man; but to him who gives you a blow on the right side of your face let the left be turned.
40 A ki te mea tetahi kia whakawakia koe, ka tangohia tou koti, tukua atu hoki tou ngeri ki a ia.
And if any man goes to law with you and takes away your coat, do not keep back your robe from him.
41 A ki te tonoa koe e tetahi kia haere kotahi te maero, kia rua au e haere tahi ai me ia.
And whoever makes you 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 who comes with a request, and keep not your property from him who would for a time make use of it.
43 Kua rongo koutou i korerotia, Kia aroha ki tou hoa tata, kia kino hoki ki tou hoa whawhai:
You have knowledge that it was said, Have love for your neighbour, and hate for him who is against you:
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, Have love for those who are against you, and make prayer for those who are cruel to 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.
So that you may be the sons of your Father in heaven; for his sun gives light to the evil and to the good, and he sends rain on the upright man and on the sinner.
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 have love for those who have love for you, what credit is it to you? do not the tax-farmers 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 say, Good day, to your brothers only, what do you do more than others? do not even the Gentiles the same?
48 Na kia tika koutou, kia pera me to koutou Matua i te rangi e tika ana.
Be then complete in righteousness, even as your Father in heaven is complete.
