mathiḥ 5
1 anantaraṁ sa jananivahaṁ nirīkṣya bhūdharōpari vrajitvā samupavivēśa|
But, seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain, —and, when he had taken a seat, his disciples came unto him;
2 tadānīṁ śiṣyēṣu tasya samīpamāgatēṣu tēna tēbhya ēṣā kathā kathyāñcakrē|
and, opening his mouth, he began teaching them, saying: —
3 abhimānahīnā janā dhanyāḥ, yatastē svargīyarājyam adhikariṣyanti|
Happy, the destitute, in spirit; for, theirs, is the kingdom of the heavens;
4 khidyamānā manujā dhanyāḥ, yasmāt tē sāntvanāṁ prāpsanti|
Happy, they who mourn; for, they, shall be comforted:
5 namrā mānavāśca dhanyāḥ, yasmāt tē mēdinīm adhikariṣyanti|
Happy, the meek; for, they, shall inherit the earth:
6 dharmmāya bubhukṣitāḥ tr̥ṣārttāśca manujā dhanyāḥ, yasmāt tē paritarpsyanti|
Happy, they who hunger and thirst for righteousness; for, they, shall be filled:
7 kr̥pālavō mānavā dhanyāḥ, yasmāt tē kr̥pāṁ prāpsyanti|
Happy, the merciful; for, they, shall receive mercy:
8 nirmmalahr̥dayā manujāśca dhanyāḥ, yasmāt ta īścaraṁ drakṣyanti|
Happy, the pure, in heart; for, they, shall, see God:
9 mēlayitārō mānavā dhanyāḥ, yasmāt ta īścarasya santānatvēna vikhyāsyanti|
Happy, the peacemakers; for, they, shall be, called sons of God:
10 dharmmakāraṇāt tāḍitā manujā dhanyā, yasmāt svargīyarājyē tēṣāmadhikarō vidyatē|
Happy, they who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake; for, theirs, is the kingdom of the heavens.
11 yadā manujā mama nāmakr̥tē yuṣmān nindanti tāḍayanti mr̥ṣā nānādurvvākyāni vadanti ca, tadā yuyaṁ dhanyāḥ|
Happy, are ye, whensoever they may reproach you and persecute you, and say every evil thing against you, falsely, for my sake:
12 tadā ānandata, tathā bhr̥śaṁ hlādadhvañca, yataḥ svargē bhūyāṁsi phalāni lapsyadhvē; tē yuṣmākaṁ purātanān bhaviṣyadvādinō'pi tādr̥g atāḍayan|
Rejoice and exult, because, your reward, is great in the heavens; for, so, persecuted they the prophets who were before you.
13 yuyaṁ mēdinyāṁ lavaṇarūpāḥ, kintu yadi lavaṇasya lavaṇatvam apayāti, tarhi tat kēna prakārēṇa svāduyuktaṁ bhaviṣyati? tat kasyāpi kāryyasyāyōgyatvāt kēvalaṁ bahiḥ prakṣēptuṁ narāṇāṁ padatalēna dalayituñca yōgyaṁ bhavati|
Ye, are the salt of the earth; but, if the salt become tasteless, wherewith shall it be salted? it is good, for nothing, any more, save, being cast out, to be trampled on by men.
14 yūyaṁ jagati dīptirūpāḥ, bhūdharōpari sthitaṁ nagaraṁ guptaṁ bhavituṁ nahi śakṣyati|
Ye, are the light of the world: it is impossible for a city to be hid, on the top of a mountain, lying.
15 aparaṁ manujāḥ pradīpān prajvālya drōṇādhō na sthāpayanti, kintu dīpādhārōparyyēva sthāpayanti, tēna tē dīpā gēhasthitān sakalān prakāśayanti|
Neither light they a lamp, and place it under the measure; but upon the lampstand, and it giveth light to all that are in the house.
16 yēna mānavā yuṣmākaṁ satkarmmāṇi vilōkya yuṣmākaṁ svargasthaṁ pitaraṁ dhanyaṁ vadanti, tēṣāṁ samakṣaṁ yuṣmākaṁ dīptistādr̥k prakāśatām|
In like manner, let your light shine before men, —that they may see your good works, —and glorify your Father who is in the heavens.
17 ahaṁ vyavasthāṁ bhaviṣyadvākyañca lōptum āgatavān, itthaṁ mānubhavata, tē dvē lōptuṁ nāgatavān, kintu saphalē karttum āgatōsmi|
Do not think, that I came to pull down the law, or the prophets, —I came not to pull down, but to fulfil.
18 aparaṁ yuṣmān ahaṁ tathyaṁ vadāmi yāvat vyōmamēdinyō rdhvaṁsō na bhaviṣyati, tāvat sarvvasmin saphalē na jātē vyavasthāyā ēkā mātrā bindurēkōpi vā na lōpsyatē|
For, verily, I say unto you, until the heaven and the earth shall pass away, one least letter, or one point, may in nowise pass away from the law, till all be accomplished.
19 tasmāt yō jana ētāsām ājñānām atikṣudrām ēkājñāmapī laṁghatē manujāṁñca tathaiva śikṣayati, sa svargīyarājyē sarvvēbhyaḥ kṣudratvēna vikhyāsyatē, kintu yō janastāṁ pālayati, tathaiva śikṣayati ca, sa svargīyarājyē pradhānatvēna vikhyāsyatē|
Whosoever, therefore, shall relax one of these commandments, the least, and teach men so, shall be called, least, in the kingdom of the heavens; but, whosoever shall do and teach, the same, shall be called, great, in the kingdom of the heavens.
20 aparaṁ yuṣmān ahaṁ vadāmi, adhyāpakaphirūśimānavānāṁ dharmmānuṣṭhānāt yuṣmākaṁ dharmmānuṣṭhānē nōttamē jātē yūyam īśvarīyarājyaṁ pravēṣṭuṁ na śakṣyatha|
For I say unto you, that, unless your righteousness exceed that of the Scribes and Pharisees, in nowise, may ye enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
21 aparañca tvaṁ naraṁ mā vadhīḥ, yasmāt yō naraṁ hanti, sa vicārasabhāyāṁ daṇḍārhō bhaviṣyati, pūrvvakālīnajanēbhya iti kathitamāsīt, yuṣmābhiraśrāvi|
Ye have heard, that it was said, to them of olden time, —Thou shalt not commit murder, and, whosoever shall commit murder, shall be, liable, to judgment.
22 kintvahaṁ yuṣmān vadāmi, yaḥ kaścit kāraṇaṁ vinā nijabhrātrē kupyati, sa vicārasabhāyāṁ daṇḍārhō bhaviṣyati; yaḥ kaścicca svīyasahajaṁ nirbbōdhaṁ vadati, sa mahāsabhāyāṁ daṇḍārhō bhaviṣyati; punaśca tvaṁ mūḍha iti vākyaṁ yadi kaścit svīyabhrātaraṁ vakti, tarhi narakāgnau sa daṇḍārhō bhaviṣyati| (Geenna g1067)
But, I, say unto you, that, every one who is angry with his brother, shall be, liable, to judgment, —and, whosoever shall say to his brother, Worthless one!, shall be, liable, to the high council; and, whosoever shall say, Rebel!, shall be, liable, unto the fiery gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
23 atō vēdyāḥ samīpaṁ nijanaivēdyē samānītē'pi nijabhrātaraṁ prati kasmāccit kāraṇāt tvaṁ yadi dōṣī vidyasē, tadānīṁ tava tasya smr̥ti rjāyatē ca,
If, therefore, thou be bearing thy gift towards the altar, and, there, shouldst remember that, thy brother, hath aught against thee,
24 tarhi tasyā vēdyāḥ samīpē nijanaivaidyaṁ nidhāya tadaiva gatvā pūrvvaṁ tēna sārddhaṁ mila, paścāt āgatya nijanaivēdyaṁ nivēdaya|
leave, there, thy gift before the altar, and withdraw, —first, be reconciled unto thy brother, and, then, coming, be offering thy gift.
25 anyañca yāvat vivādinā sārddhaṁ vartmani tiṣṭhasi, tāvat tēna sārddhaṁ mēlanaṁ kuru; nō cēt vivādī vicārayituḥ samīpē tvāṁ samarpayati vicārayitā ca rakṣiṇaḥ sannidhau samarpayati tadā tvaṁ kārāyāṁ badhyēthāḥ|
Be making agreement with thine adversary, quickly, while thou art with him, in the way, —lest once thine adversary deliver thee up unto the judge, and the judge, unto the officer, and, into prison, thou be cast.
26 tarhi tvāmahaṁ taththaṁ bravīmi, śēṣakapardakē'pi na pariśōdhitē tasmāt sthānāt kadāpi bahirāgantuṁ na śakṣyasi|
Verily, I say unto thee, In nowise, mayest thou come out from thence, until thou pay the last halfpenny.
27 aparaṁ tvaṁ mā vyabhicara, yadētad vacanaṁ pūrvvakālīnalōkēbhyaḥ kathitamāsīt, tad yūyaṁ śrutavantaḥ;
Ye have heard, that it was said, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
28 kintvahaṁ yuṣmān vadāmi, yadi kaścit kāmataḥ kāñcana yōṣitaṁ paśyati, tarhi sa manasā tadaiva vyabhicaritavān|
But, I, say unto you, that, Every one who looketh on a woman so as to covet her, already, hath committed adultery with her, in his heart.
29 tasmāt tava dakṣiṇaṁ nētraṁ yadi tvāṁ bādhatē, tarhi tannētram utpāṭya dūrē nikṣipa, yasmāt tava sarvvavapuṣō narakē nikṣēpāt tavaikāṅgasya nāśō varaṁ| (Geenna g1067)
And, if, thy right eye, is causing thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee, —for it profiteth thee, that, one of thy members, should perish, and not, thy whole body, be cast into gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
30 yadvā tava dakṣiṇaḥ karō yadi tvāṁ bādhatē, tarhi taṁ karaṁ chittvā dūrē nikṣipa, yataḥ sarvvavapuṣō narakē nikṣēpāt ēkāṅgasya nāśō varaṁ| (Geenna g1067)
And, if, thy right hand, is causing thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee, —for it profiteth thee, that, one of thy members, should perish, and not, thy whole body, into gehenna, depart. (Geenna g1067)
31 uktamāstē, yadi kaścin nijajāyāṁ parityakttum icchati, tarhi sa tasyai tyāgapatraṁ dadātu|
It was said, moreover, Whosoever shall divorce his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement;
32 kintvahaṁ yuṣmān vyāharāmi, vyabhicāradōṣē na jātē yadi kaścin nijajāyāṁ parityajati, tarhi sa tāṁ vyabhicārayati; yaśca tāṁ tyaktāṁ striyaṁ vivahati, sōpi vyabhicarati|
But, I, say unto you, that, Everyone who divorceth his wife—saving for unfaithfulness, causeth her to be made an adulteress, —[and, whosoever shall marry a divorced woman, committeth adultery].
33 punaśca tvaṁ mr̥ṣā śapatham na kurvvan īścarāya nijaśapathaṁ pālaya, pūrvvakālīnalōkēbhyō yaiṣā kathā kathitā, tāmapi yūyaṁ śrutavantaḥ|
Again, ye have heard that it was said, to them of olden time, Thou shalt not swear falsely, —but shalt render unto the Lord, thine oaths.
34 kintvahaṁ yuṣmān vadāmi, kamapi śapathaṁ mā kārṣṭa, arthataḥ svarganāmnā na, yataḥ sa īśvarasya siṁhāsanaṁ;
But, I, tell you—not to swear, at all: Neither by heaven, because it is the, throne of God, —
35 pr̥thivyā nāmnāpi na, yataḥ sā tasya pādapīṭhaṁ; yirūśālamō nāmnāpi na, yataḥ sā mahārājasya purī;
Nor by the earth, because it is his, footstool; nor by Jerusalem, because, it is the, city, of the Great King;
36 nijaśirōnāmnāpi na, yasmāt tasyaikaṁ kacamapi sitam asitaṁ vā karttuṁ tvayā na śakyatē|
Nor, by thine own head, mayest thou swear, because thou art not able to make, one hair, white or black.
37 aparaṁ yūyaṁ saṁlāpasamayē kēvalaṁ bhavatīti na bhavatīti ca vadata yata itō'dhikaṁ yat tat pāpātmanō jāyatē|
But let your word be, Yea, yea, —Nay, nay; and, what goeth beyond these, is, of evil.
38 aparaṁ lōcanasya vinimayēna lōcanaṁ dantasya vinimayēna dantaḥ pūrvvaktamidaṁ vacanañca yuṣmābhiraśrūyata|
Ye have heard, that it was said, —Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.
39 kintvahaṁ yuṣmān vadāmi yūyaṁ hiṁsakaṁ naraṁ mā vyāghātayata| kintu kēnacit tava dakṣiṇakapōlē capēṭāghātē kr̥tē taṁ prati vāmaṁ kapōlañca vyāghōṭaya|
But, I, tell you, not to resist evil, —Nay, whoever is smiting thee on the right cheek, turn to him, the other also;
40 aparaṁ kēnacit tvayā sārdhdaṁ vivādaṁ kr̥tvā tava paridhēyavasanē jighr̥titē tasmāyuttarīyavasanamapi dēhi|
And, him who is desiring thee to be judged, and to take, thy tunic, let him have, thy mantle also.
41 yadi kaścit tvāṁ krōśamēkaṁ nayanārthaṁ anyāyatō dharati, tadā tēna sārdhdaṁ krōśadvayaṁ yāhi|
And, whoever shall impress thee one mile, go with him two:
42 yaśca mānavastvāṁ yācatē, tasmai dēhi, yadi kaścit tubhyaṁ dhārayitum icchati, tarhi taṁ prati parāṁmukhō mā bhūḥ|
To him who is asking thee, give; and, him who is desiring from thee to borrow, do not thou turn away.
43 nijasamīpavasini prēma kuru, kintu śatruṁ prati dvēṣaṁ kuru, yadētat purōktaṁ vacanaṁ ētadapi yūyaṁ śrutavantaḥ|
Ye have heard, that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 kintvahaṁ yuṣmān vadāmi, yūyaṁ ripuvvapi prēma kuruta, yē ca yuṣmān śapantē, tāna, āśiṣaṁ vadata, yē ca yuṣmān r̥tīyantē, tēṣāṁ maṅgalaṁ kuruta, yē ca yuṣmān nindanti, tāḍayanti ca, tēṣāṁ kr̥tē prārthayadhvaṁ|
But, I, say unto you, Be loving your enemies, and praying for them who are persecuting you:
45 tatra yaḥ satāmasatāñcōpari prabhākaram udāyayati, tathā dhārmmikānāmadhārmmikānāñcōpari nīraṁ varṣayati tādr̥śō yō yuṣmākaṁ svargasthaḥ pitā, yūyaṁ tasyaiva santānā bhaviṣyatha|
That ye may become sons of your Father who is in the heavens: because, his sun, he maketh arise on evil and good, and sendeth rain, on just and unjust.
46 yē yuṣmāsu prēma kurvvanti, yūyaṁ yadi kēvalaṁ tēvvēva prēma kurutha, tarhi yuṣmākaṁ kiṁ phalaṁ bhaviṣyati? caṇḍālā api tādr̥śaṁ kiṁ na kurvvanti?
For, if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? are not, even the tax-collectors, the same thing, doing?
47 aparaṁ yūyaṁ yadi kēvalaṁ svīyabhrātr̥tvēna namata, tarhi kiṁ mahat karmma kurutha? caṇḍālā api tādr̥śaṁ kiṁ na kurvvanti?
And, if ye salute your brethren only, what, more than common, are ye doing? are not, even the nations, the same thing, doing?
48 tasmāt yuṣmākaṁ svargasthaḥ pitā yathā pūrṇō bhavati, yūyamapi tādr̥śā bhavata|
Ye, therefore, shall become, perfect: as, your heavenly Father, is perfect.
