Mātiu 5
1 Pea ʻi heʻene mamata ki he kakai tokolahi, naʻe ʻalu hake ia ki he moʻunga: pea kuo nofo hifo ia, pea haʻu ʻene kau ākonga kiate ia:
But, seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain, —and, when he had taken a seat, his disciples came unto him;
2 Pea lea ia, ʻo ne akonaki kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē,
and, opening his mouth, he began teaching them, saying: —
3 “ʻOku monūʻia ʻae angavaivai: he ʻoku ʻonautolu ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi.
Happy, the destitute, in spirit; for, theirs, is the kingdom of the heavens;
4 “ʻOku monūʻia ʻakinautolu ʻoku tangi: he te nau maʻu ʻae fiemālie.
Happy, they who mourn; for, they, shall be comforted:
5 “ʻOku monūʻia ʻae angamalū: he te nau maʻu ʻae fonua.
Happy, the meek; for, they, shall inherit the earth:
6 “ʻOku monūʻia ʻakinautolu ʻoku fiekaia mo fieinua ki he māʻoniʻoni: he te nau fonu ai.
Happy, they who hunger and thirst for righteousness; for, they, shall be filled:
7 “ʻOku monūʻia ʻae manavaʻofa: he te nau maʻu ʻae ʻofa.
Happy, the merciful; for, they, shall receive mercy:
8 “ʻOku monūʻia ʻae loto maʻa: he te nau mamata ki he ʻOtua.
Happy, the pure, in heart; for, they, shall, see God:
9 “ʻOku monūʻia ʻae faʻa fakalelei: ʻe ui ai ʻakinautolu ko e fānau ʻae ʻOtua.
Happy, the peacemakers; for, they, shall be, called sons of God:
10 “ʻOku monūʻia ʻakinautolu kuo fakatangaʻi koeʻuhi ko e māʻoniʻoni: he ʻoku ʻonautolu ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi.
Happy, they who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake; for, theirs, is the kingdom of the heavens.
11 “ʻOku monūʻia ʻakimoutolu, ʻoka manukia, mo fakatangaʻi, mo lohiekina ʻakimoutolu ʻi he meʻa kovi kotoa pē, koeʻuhi ko au.
Happy, are ye, whensoever they may reproach you and persecute you, and say every evil thing against you, falsely, for my sake:
12 Mou fiemālie ʻo fiefia lahi ʻaupito: he ʻoku lahi hoʻomou totongi ʻi he langi: he naʻe pehē ʻenau fakatangaʻi ʻae kau palōfita naʻe muʻa ʻiate kimoutolu.
Rejoice and exult, because, your reward, is great in the heavens; for, so, persecuted they the prophets who were before you.
13 “Ko e māsima ʻo māmani ʻakimoutolu: pea kapau kuo mole ʻi he māsima hono kona, ʻe toe fakakonaʻi fēfeeʻi ia? Ngata ai, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaonga ia, ka ke lī ki tuaʻā, pea ke molomoloki ia ʻe he kakai.
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 “Ko e maama ʻo māmani ʻakimoutolu. Ko e kolo ʻoku tuʻu ʻi ha moʻunga, ʻoku ʻikai faʻa fakapuli ia.
Ye, are the light of the world: it is impossible for a city to be hid, on the top of a mountain, lying.
15 Pea ʻoku ʻikai tutu ha maama, mo tuku ia ʻi he lalo puha fua, ka ki he tuʻunga maama; pea ʻoku ulo ia kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi he fale.
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 Tuku ke ulo pehē hoʻomou maama ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai, koeʻuhi ke nau mamata ki hoʻomou ngaahi ngāue lelei, pea fakamālōʻia ʻa hoʻomou Tamai ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he langi.
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 “ʻOua naʻa mou mahalo kuo u haʻu ke fakataʻeʻaongaʻi ʻae fono, pe ko e kau palōfita: naʻe ʻikai te u haʻu ke fakataʻeʻaongaʻi, ka ke fakamoʻoni.
Do not think, that I came to pull down the law, or the prophets, —I came not to pull down, but to fulfil.
18 He ʻoku ou tala moʻoni kiate kimoutolu, ʻE tomuʻa mole ʻae langi mo e fonua ka ʻe ʻikai mole ha kihiʻi konga siʻi mei he fono, ka ʻe fakamoʻoni kotoa pē.
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 Ko ia te ne liʻaki ha [fekau ]siʻi ʻi he ngaahi fekau ni, pea akonaki pehē ki he kakai, ʻe ui ia ko e siʻi hifo ʻi he puleʻanga ʻoe langi: ka ko ia te ne fai ia, mo akonaki ʻaki ia, ʻe ui ia ko e lahi ʻi he puleʻanga ʻoe langi.
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 He ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Kapau ʻe ʻikai lahi hake hoʻomou māʻoniʻoni ʻi he [māʻoniʻoni ]ʻoe kau tangata tohi mo e Fālesi, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te mou hū ki he puleʻanga ʻoe langi.
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 “Kuo mou fanongo naʻe pehē kiate kinautolu ʻi muʻa, ‘ʻOua naʻa ke fakapō; pea ko ia ʻe fakapō ʻe tuʻutāmaki ia ki he fakamaau.’
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 Ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Ko ia ʻe ʻita noa pē ki hono kāinga, ʻe tuʻutāmaki ia ki he fakamaau: pea ko ia te ne ui hono kāinga, ‘Ko e vale,’ ʻe tuʻutāmaki ia ki he fakamaau lahi: ka ko ia te ne lea pehē, ‘Ko e faha koe,’ ʻe tuʻutāmaki ia ki he afi ʻo heli. (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 Ko ia kapau ʻoku ke ʻomi hoʻo meʻa foaki ki he ʻesi feilaulau, pea ke toki manatuʻi ai ʻoku koviʻia ho kāinga kiate koe;
If, therefore, thou be bearing thy gift towards the altar, and, there, shouldst remember that, thy brother, hath aught against thee,
24 Tuku hoʻo meʻa foaki ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻesi feilaulau, pea ke ʻalu koe; ʻo tomuʻa fakalelei ki ho kāinga, pea ke toki haʻu, ʻo ʻoatu hoʻo meʻa foaki.
leave, there, thy gift before the altar, and withdraw, —first, be reconciled unto thy brother, and, then, coming, be offering thy gift.
25 “Fakalelei vave mo ho fili, lolotonga hoʻomo kei ʻi he hala mo ia, telia naʻa tukuange koe ʻe ho fili ki he fakamaau, pea tuku koe ʻe he fakamaau ki he pule, pea ʻe tuku koe ki he fale fakapōpula.
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 Ko ʻeku tala moʻoni kiate koe, ʻE ʻikai ʻaupito te ke hao mei ai, kaeʻoua ke ke ʻoatu ʻae totongi kotoa pē.
Verily, I say unto thee, In nowise, mayest thou come out from thence, until thou pay the last halfpenny.
27 “Kuo mou fanongo naʻe pehē kiate kinautolu ʻi muʻa, ‘ʻOua naʻa ke tono fefine:’
Ye have heard, that it was said, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
28 Ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Ko ia ʻoku fakasio ki ha fefine ke holi ki ai, ʻoku tonoʻi ia ʻe ia ʻi hono loto.
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 Pea kapau ʻoku fakahalaʻi koe ʻe ho mata toʻomataʻu, kapeʻi ia, ʻo liʻaki ia ʻiate koe: he ʻoku ʻaonga kiate koe ke ʻauha ho konga ʻe taha, kaeʻoua naʻa lī ho sino kotoa ki heli. (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 Pea kapau ʻe fakahalaʻi koe ʻe ho nima toʻomataʻu, tutuʻu ia, ʻo liʻaki ia ʻiate koe; he ʻoku ʻaonga kiate koe ke ʻauha ho konga ʻe taha, kaeʻoua naʻa lī ho sino kotoa ki heli. (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 “Naʻe tala, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko ia ʻoku tukuange hono uaifi, ke ne ʻoange kiate ia ʻae tohi māvae:’
It was said, moreover, Whosoever shall divorce his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement;
32 Ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Ko ia ʻe tukuange hono uaifi, ka ʻi heʻene tono tangata, ʻoku ne fakatonotangataʻi ia: pea ko ia ʻe mali mo ia kuo fakamāvae, ko e tono fefine ia.
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 “Kuo mou fanongo foki, naʻe pehē ʻiate kinautolu ʻi muʻa, ‘ʻOua naʻa ke fuakava loi, ka ke fai kia Sihova hoʻo fuakava:’
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 Ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻoua te mou fuakava: pe ki he langi; he ko e ʻafioʻanga ia ʻoe ʻOtua:
But, I, tell you—not to swear, at all: Neither by heaven, because it is the, throne of God, —
35 pe ki he fonua; he ko hono tuʻungavaʻe: pe ki Selūsalema; he ko e kolo ia ʻoe Tuʻi lahi.
Nor by the earth, because it is his, footstool; nor by Jerusalem, because, it is the, city, of the Great King;
36 Pea ʻoua naʻa ke fuakava ki ho ʻulu, he ʻoku ʻikai te ke faʻa ngaohi ha tuʻoni louʻulu ke hinehina pe ʻuliʻuli.
Nor, by thine own head, mayest thou swear, because thou art not able to make, one hair, white or black.
37 Ka ʻi hoʻomou alea, ke ‘ʻIo’ pe hoʻomou ‘ʻIo;’ mo ‘ʻIkai’ pe hoʻomou ‘ʻIkai:’ he ko ia ʻoku fakalahi ʻaki ʻa eni, ʻoku tupu ʻi he kovi.
But let your word be, Yea, yea, —Nay, nay; and, what goeth beyond these, is, of evil.
38 “Kuo mou fanongo naʻe lea pehē, ‘[Ke totongi ]ʻaki ʻae mata ʻae mata, mo e nifo ʻae nifo:’
Ye have heard, that it was said, —Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.
39 Ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Ke ʻoua naʻa mou talia ha taha angakovi: ka ko ia te ne sipiʻi ho [kouʻahe ]toʻomataʻu, fulihi atu foki kiate ia ho kouʻahe ʻe taha.
But, I, tell you, not to resist evil, —Nay, whoever is smiting thee on the right cheek, turn to him, the other also;
40 Pea kapau ʻe loto ha taha ke fakamaau koe, ka ne maʻu ai ho kofutuʻa, tuku ke ne maʻu mo ho pulupulu foki.
And, him who is desiring thee to be judged, and to take, thy tunic, let him have, thy mantle also.
41 Pea ko ia ʻe fakafiuʻi koe ke mo ō mo ia ʻi he maile ʻe taha, ʻalu mo ia [ʻi he maile ]ʻe ua.
And, whoever shall impress thee one mile, go with him two:
42 Foaki kiate ia ʻoku kole kiate koe, pea ʻoua naʻa fulituʻa kiate ia ʻoku fie nō meiate koe.
To him who is asking thee, give; and, him who is desiring from thee to borrow, do not thou turn away.
43 “Kuo mou fanongo naʻe lea pehē, ‘Ke ke ʻofa ki ho kaungāʻapi, kae fehiʻa ki ho fili.’
Ye have heard, that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 Ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻOfa ki homou ngaahi fili, tāpuakiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻoku kapeʻi ʻakimoutolu, fai lelei kiate kinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate kimoutolu, pea hūfia ʻakinautolu ʻoku fai kovi mo fakatanga kiate kimoutolu;
But, I, say unto you, Be loving your enemies, and praying for them who are persecuting you:
45 koeʻuhi ke mou taau mo e fānau ʻa hoʻomou Tamai ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he langi: he ʻoku ne pule ke hopo ʻene laʻā ki he angakovi mo e angalelei, pea ʻoku ne tuku ʻae ʻuha ki he angatonu mo e taʻeangatonu.
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 He kapau ʻoku mou ʻofa kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻofa kiate kimoutolu, ko e hā ʻae totongi te mou maʻu? He ʻikai ʻoku fai pehē ʻae kau tānaki tukuhau?
For, if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? are not, even the tax-collectors, the same thing, doing?
47 Pea kapau ʻoku mou feʻofoʻofani mo homou kāinga pe, ʻoku lelei lahi hake ia? He ʻikai ʻoku pehē ʻae kau tānaki tukuhau?
And, if ye salute your brethren only, what, more than common, are ye doing? are not, even the nations, the same thing, doing?
48 Ko ia ke haohaoa ʻakimoutolu he ʻoku haohaoa ʻa hoʻomou Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langi.
Ye, therefore, shall become, perfect: as, your heavenly Father, is perfect.
