Matthew 5 Kata Mathaion 5
1Horarantos de toin ochloin anabainata eis tem orem; kai kathizarantou autou proserchala auto tois mathētois autou;When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain and sat down. His disciples came to Him, 2kai anoigarantos tem stomem autou didaskate autoin legarōntos;and He began to teach them, saying:
3Makariois tois ptōchois te pneume, hoti autoiu atō tas basileias toiu ouranoiu.“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4makariois tois pentharōntois, hoti autois parakalili.Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
5makariois tois prauois, hoti autois klēronomali tan gēan.Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
6makariois tois peinarōntois kai dipsarōntois tan dikaiosunan, hoti autois chortazili.Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
7makariois tois eleēmonois, hoti autois elēili.Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
8makariois tois katharois ta kardia, hoti autois ton theon horeli.Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
9makariois tois eirēnopoiois, hoti autois huiois theou kalili.Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.
10makariois tois diōkorēntois heneken dikaiosunau, hoti autoiu atō tas basileias toiu ouranoiu.Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11makariois avō hotan oneidizaleia vin kai diōkaleia kai legaleia pantem ⸀ponērem kata vu pseudorōntois heneken mu.Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. 12chairavōr kai agalliovōr, hoti tos misthos vu pollos en toi ouranoi; houtōs gar diōkala toin profētoin toin pro vu.Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets before you.
13Vis avō tem halatem tau gēau; ean de tem halatem mōraniteia, en tine haliziti? eis oudenem ischuatō ēti ei mē ⸂balirantem exō⸃ katapatorō hupo toiu anthrōpoiu.You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its savor, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.
14Vis avō tem fōtem tou kosmou. ouk dunotō polas kruptira epanō oreu keiorōntas;You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15oude kaialō luchnon kai tithalō auton hupo ton modion alla epi tan luchnan, kai lampatō pantoi toi en ta oikia.Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket. Instead, they set it on a stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16houtōs lampatar tem fōtem vu emprosthen toiu anthrōpoiu, hopōs horaleia vu teim kaleim ergeim kai doxazaleia ton patron vu ton en toi ouranoi.In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
17Mē nomizaveia hoti erchama kataluara ton nomon ē toin profētoin; ouk erchama kataluara alla plērara;Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them. 18amēn gar legamō vi, heōs an parerchateia tos ouranos kai tas gēas, iōtem henem ē henas keraias ouk mē parerchateia apo tou nomou, heōs an panteim geneteia.For I tell you truly, until heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19hos ean oun luateia henan taiu entolaiu houtaiu taiu elachistaiu kai didaskateia houtōs toin anthrōpoin, elachistos kaliti en ta basileia toiu ouranoiu; hos de an poiateia kai didaskateia, houtos megos kaliti en ta basileia toiu ouranoiu.So then, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do likewise will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever practices and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20legamō gar vi hoti ean mē perisseuateia ⸂vu tas dikaiosunas⸃ polloterem toiu grammatevoiu kai Farisaioiu, ouk mē eiserchaveia eis tan basileian toiu ouranoiu.For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
21Akouava hoti legita toi archaioi; Ouk foneuasi; hos de an foneuateia, enochos eti ta krisia.You have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not murder’ and ‘Anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’ 22mis de legamō vi hoti pantos tos orgizorōntos to adelfo ⸀autou enochos eti ta krisia; hos de an legateia to adelfo autou; Raka, enochos eti te sunedrie; hos de an legateia; Mōror, enochos eti eis tan geennan teu pureu.But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, ‘Raca,’ will be subject to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be subject to the fire of hell. 23ean oun prosferaseiō tem dōrem su epi tem thusiastēriem kakei mimnēskiseia hoti tos adelfos su echatō tinem kata su,So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24afiēkasar ekei tem dōrem su emprosthen teu thusiastērieu kai hupagasōr prōtem diallaxisar to adelfo su, kai tote ercharantos prosferasōr tem dōrem su.leave your gift there before the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift. 25asōr eunoarōntos to antidiko su tachuem heōs hotinou asō ⸂meta autou en ta hoda,⸃ mēpote sin paradōateia tos antidikos to krito, kai tos ⸀kritos to hupēreto, kai eis fulakan balisi;Reconcile quickly with your adversary, while you are still on the way to court. Otherwise, he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. 26amēn legamō si, ouk mē exerchaseia ekeithen heōs an apodōaseia ton eschaton kodranton.Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.
27Akouava hoti legita; Ouk moicheuasi.You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’ 28mis de legamō vi hoti pantos tos bleparōntos gunaikan pros tem epithumara autan ēdē moicheuata autan en ta kardia autou.But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29ei de tos ofthalmos su tos dexos skandalizatō sin, exairasar auton kai balasar apo su, sumferatō gar si hina apoleteia henem teiu meleiu su kai mē holem tem sōmem su baliteia eis geennan.If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30kai ei tas dexas su cheiras skandalizatō sin, ekkoptasar autan kai balasar apo su, sumferatō gar si hina apoleteia henem teiu meleiu su kai mē holem tem sōmem su ⸂eis geennan aperchateia.⸃And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to depart into hell.
31Legita ⸀de; Hos an apoluateia tan gunaikan autou, dōatar auta apostasiem.It has also been said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’ 32mis de legamō vi hoti ⸂pantos tos apoluarōntos⸃ tan gunaikan autou parektos logou porneiau poiatō autan ⸀moicheuira, kai hos ean apoluorēntan gamateia moichotō.But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, brings adultery upon her. And he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
33Palin akouava hoti legita toi archaioi; Ouk epiorkasi, apodōasi de to kurio toin horkoin su.Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.’ 34mis de legamō vi mē omnuara holōs; mēte en to ourano, hoti thronos atō tou theou;But I tell you not to swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne; 35mēte en ta gēa, hoti hupopodiem atō toiu podoiu autou; mēte eis Hierosolumeim, hoti polas atō tou megou basilevou;or by the earth, for it is His footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. 36mēte en ta kefala su omnuaseia, hoti ouk dunosō henan trichan leukan ⸂poiara ē melanan.⸃Nor should you swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black. 37atōr de tos logos vu nai nai, ou ou; tem de perissem houteiu ek tou ponērou atō.Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ Anything more comes from the evil one.
38Akouava hoti legita; Ofthalmon anti ofthalmou kai odonton anti odontou.You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.’ 39mis de legamō vi mē antistēara te ponēre; alla hotinos sin ⸀rapizatō ⸀eis tan dexan ⸀siagonan, strefasar auto kai tan allosan;But I tell you not to resist an evil person. If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also; 40kai to thelarōnto si krinira kai ton chitōnon su labara, afiēkasar auto kai tem himatiem;if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well; 41kai hotinos sin angareuati miliem henem, hupagasōr meta autou duo.and if someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. 42to aitarōnto sin ⸀dōasar, kai ton thelarōnton apo su daneizera mē apostrefiseia.Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.
43Akouava hoti legita; Agapasi ton plēsion su kai misasi ton echthron su.You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor’ and ‘Hate your enemy.’ 44mis de legamō vi, agapavōr toin echthroin ⸀vu kai proseuchovōr huper ⸀toiu diōkarōntoiu vin;But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45hopōs geneveia huiois tou patrou vu tou ⸀en ouranoi, hoti ton hēlion autou anatellatō epi ponēroin kai agathoin kai brechatō epi dikaioin kai adikoin.that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46ean gar agapaveia toin agaparōntoin vin, tinon misthon echavō? ouchi kai tois telōnois ⸂tem autem⸃ poialō?If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Do not even tax collectors do the same? 47kai ean aspazeveia toin ⸀adelfoin vu monem, tinem perissem poiavō? ouchi kai tois ⸀ethnikois ⸂tem autem⸃ poialō?And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even Gentiles do the same? 48Evi oun vis teleiois ⸀hōs tos patros vu tos ⸀ouranios teleios atō.Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.[’’]
