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 having seen the multitudes, He went up to the mountain, and He having sat down, His disciples came to Him,
2 Na ka puaki tona mangai, a ka whakaako ia i a ratou, ka mea,
and having opened His mouth, He was teaching them, saying,
3 Ka koa te hunga he rawakore nei te wairua: no ratou hoki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.
“Blessed the poor in spirit—because theirs is the kingdom of the heavens.
4 Ka koa te hunga e tangi ana: ka whakamarietia hoki ratou.
Blessed the mourning—because they will be comforted.
5 Ka koa te hunga ngakau mahaki: ka riro hoki i a ratou te whenua.
Blessed the meek—because they will inherit the land.
6 Ka koa te hunga e hiakai ana, e hiainu ana, ki te tika: e makona hoki ratou.
Blessed those hungering and thirsting for righteousness—because they will be filled.
7 Ka koa te hunga tohu tangata: e tohungia hoki ratou.
Blessed the kind—because they will find kindness.
8 Ka koa te hunga ngakau ma: e kite hoki ratou i te Atua.
Blessed the clean in heart—because they will see God.
9 Ka koa te hunga hohou rongo: ka huaina hoki ratou he tamariki na te Atua.
Blessed the peacemakers—because they will 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 those persecuted for righteousness’ sake—because theirs is the kingdom of the heavens.
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 whenever they may reproach you, and may persecute, and may say any evil thing against you falsely for My sake—
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 be glad, because your reward [is] great in the heavens, for thus they persecuted 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 may lose savor, in what will it be salted? It is good for nothing from now on, except to be cast outside, and to be trodden down 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 set on a mountain is not able to 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.
nor do they light a lamp and put it under the measure, but on the lampstand, and it shines to all those 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.
so let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and may glorify your Father who [is] in the heavens.
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.
Do not suppose that I came to throw down the Law or the Prophets—I did not come to throw down, but to fulfill;
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 truly I say to you, until the heaven and the earth may pass away, one iota or one tittle may not pass away from the Law, until all may come to pass.
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.
Therefore whoever may loose one of these commands—the least—and may teach men so, he will be called least in the kingdom of the heavens, but whoever may do and may teach [them], he will be called great in the kingdom of the heavens.
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 if your righteousness may not abound above that of the scribes and Pharisees, you may not enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
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 heard that it was said to the ancients: You will not murder, and whoever may murder will be in danger of the judgment;
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 at his brother without cause will be in danger of the judgment, and whoever may say to his brother, Stupid, will be in danger of the Sanhedrin, and whoever may say, Moron, will be in danger of the Gehenna 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, therefore, you may bring your gift to the altar, and there may remember that your brother has anything 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 there your gift before the altar, and go—first be reconciled to your brother, and then having come, bring 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.
Be agreeing with your opponent quickly, while you are in the way with him, that the opponent may not deliver you to the judge, and the judge may deliver you to the officer, and you may be cast 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 may not come forth from there until you may pay the last penny.
27 Kua rongo koutou, i korerotia, Kaua e puremu:
You heard that it was said to the ancients: You will 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 that everyone who is looking on a woman to desire her, 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)
But if your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and cast from you, for it is good to you that one of your members may perish, and not your whole body be cast into Gehenna. (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 causes you to stumble, cut it off, and cast from you, for it is good to you that one of your members may perish, and not your whole body be cast into Gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
31 I korerotia ano, Ki te whakarere tetahi i tana wahine, me hoatu ki a ia tetahi pukapuka whakarere:
And it was said that, Whoever may put away his wife, let him give to her a writing 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 that whoever may put away his wife, except for the matter of whoredom, makes her to commit adultery; and whoever may marry her who has been put away 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 heard that it was said to the ancients: You will not swear falsely, but you will pay to the LORD your oaths;
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 not to swear at all; neither by Heaven, because 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, because it is His footstool, nor by Jerusalem, because 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.
nor may you swear 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 word be, Yes, Yes, No, No, and that which 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 heard that it was said: Eye for eye, and tooth for 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 not to resist the evil, but whoever will slap you on your right cheek, turn to him also the other;
40 A ki te mea tetahi kia whakawakia koe, ka tangohia tou koti, tukua atu hoki tou ngeri ki a ia.
and whoever is willing to take you to law, and to take your coat—also permit to him the cloak.
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 impress you 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.
to him who is asking of you be giving, and him who is willing to borrow from you, you may not turn away.
43 Kua rongo koutou i korerotia, Kia aroha ki tou hoa tata, kia kino hoki ki tou hoa whawhai:
You heard that it was said: You will love your neighbor, and will 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 cursing you, do good to those hating you, and pray for those accusing you falsely, and persecuting 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 sons of your Father in the heavens, because He causes His sun to rise on evil and good, and He sends rain on righteous and unrighteous.
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 may love those loving you, what reward do you have? Do the tax collectors not also do 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 may greet your brothers only, what do you do abundant? Do the nations not also do so?
48 Na kia tika koutou, kia pera me to koutou Matua i te rangi e tika ana.
You will therefore be perfect, as your Father who [is] in the heavens is perfect.”
