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:
When he saw the crowds, he went up the mountain, and when he had seated himself, his disciples came to him,
2 Na ka puaki tona mangai, a ka whakaako ia i a ratou, ka mea,
and opening his lips he began to teach 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 the kingdom of heaven is theirs.
4 Ka koa te hunga e tangi ana: ka whakamarietia hoki ratou.
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
5 Ka koa te hunga ngakau mahaki: ka riro hoki i a ratou te whenua.
"Blessed are the gentle, 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 those who hunger and thirst for the righteousness, for they shall be completely satisfied.
7 Ka koa te hunga tohu tangata: e tohungia hoki ratou.
"Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain 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 those who have been persecuted in the cause 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 revile you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my name’s 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 exult in it, because your reward was great in the heavens; for so did they persecute the prophets 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 lose its savor, in what way shall it be salted? It is henceforth good for nothing but to be thrown out and trodden under foot of 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 built on a hilltop cannot 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 men light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the lamp-stand, and it gives light to 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.
"So let your light shine before men that they may see good you do, and give glory to 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.
"Do not suppose that I am come to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I am come not to destroy, but to fulfil.
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.
"In solemn truth I tell you that until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a comma, will pass from the Law until all has taken place.
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.
"So whoever breaks one of these least commandments, and teaches others to break them, will be least in the kingdom of heaven. But he who keeps them and teaches them, he will 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 assure you that unless your righteousness exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not find entrance 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, "Thou shall not commit murder, and "he who commits murder shall be liable to condemnation by the court;
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 he who becomes angry with his brother shall be liable to condemnation by the court; and he who says to his brother’Raca,’ shall be liable to condemnation by the Sanhedrin, while he who curses his brother shall be liable to 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 when you are offering your gift upon the altar, and there remember that your brother has a grievance 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 and make friends with your brother, first of all; 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 terms with your opponent quickly, while you are yet with him on the way to the court, to prevent your opponent from handing you over to the judge, and the judge to the jailer, and so 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.
"I tell you truly that you would certainly not get out from there until you had paid back the last cent.
27 Kua rongo koutou, i korerotia, Kaua e puremu:
"You have heard that it was said, "Thou shalt 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 whoever looks with lust at a woman 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)
And if your eye, your right eye, entices you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to lose one of your bodily organs, than to have your whole body go down into the pit. (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 entices you into sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of your bodily organs, than to have your whole body go down into the pit. (Geenna g1067)
31 I korerotia ano, Ki te whakarere tetahi i tana wahine, me hoatu ki a ia tetahi pukapuka whakarere:
"It was also said, "Whoever divorces his wife must give her a bill of separation.
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 tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of unchastity, makes her an adulteress, and whoever marries her when so 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 men of old, "You must not forswear yourselves, but must perform your vows 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, swear not at all; neither by the sky, for it is God’s throne;
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 the footstool of his feet; 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.
"Nor must you swear by your head, since you cannot 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 simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from 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, 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 tell you not to retaliate the injury; but whoever strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other to him also;
40 A ki te mea tetahi kia whakawakia koe, ka tangohia tou koti, tukua atu hoki tou ngeri ki a ia.
"and if any one wants to go to law with you and takes away your coat, let him take your cloak also.
41 A ki te tonoa koe e tetahi kia haere kotahi te maero, kia rua au e haere tahi ai me ia.
"Whoever impresses you to go one mile, go two miles with him.
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 asks, and from him who wants to borrow from you, do not turn 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, and pray for those who 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.
"So you will become sons of your heavenly Father; for he makes his sun to rise upon sinners as well as saints, and sends rain upon the unjust and the just.
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 only those who love you, what reward have you?
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?
"Even the tax-gatherers do that, do they not? And if you show courtesy to your brother only, what are you doing more than others? Even the Gentiles do that, do they not?
48 Na kia tika koutou, kia pera me to koutou Matua i te rangi e tika ana.
"You then must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect."
