马太福音 5
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
論福(A)
5 耶穌看見群眾，就上了山；他坐下之後，門徒來到他跟前， 2 他就開口教訓他們：
3 “心靈貧乏的人有福了，
因為天國是他們的。
4 哀痛的人有福了，
因為他們必得安慰。
5 溫柔的人有福了，
因為他們必承受地土。
6 愛慕公義如飢如渴的人有福了，
因為他們必得飽足。
7 憐憫人的人有福了，
因為他們必蒙憐憫。
8 內心清潔的人有福了，
因為他們必看見 神。
9 使人和平的人有福了，
因為他們必稱為 神的兒子。
10 為義遭受迫害的人有福了，
因為天國是他們的。
11 人若因我的緣故辱罵你們，迫害你們，並且捏造各樣壞話毀謗你們，你們就有福了。 12 你們應該歡喜快樂，因為你們在天上的賞賜是大的；在你們以前的先知，他們也曾這樣迫害。
門徒作鹽作光(B)
13 “你們是地上的鹽；如果鹽失了味，怎能使它再鹹呢？結果毫無用處，唯有丟在外面任人踐踏。 14 你們是世上的光。建在山上的城是無法隱藏的； 15 人點了燈，不會放在量器底下，而是放在燈臺上，就照亮一家人。 16 照樣，你們的光也應當照在人前，讓他們看見你們的好行為，又頌讚你們在天上的父。
論律法
17 “你們不要以為我來是要廢除律法和先知；我來不是要廢除，而是要完成。 18 我實在告訴你們，就算天地過去，律法的一點一畫也不會廢去，全部都要成就。 19 因此，無論誰廢除誡命中最小的一條，又這樣教導人，他在天國中必稱為最小的；但若有人遵行這些誡命，並且教導人遵行，他在天國中必稱為大。 20 我告訴你們，你們的義若不勝過經學家和法利賽人的義，就必不能進天國。
不可恨人(C)
21 “你們聽過有這樣吩咐古人的話：‘不可殺人，殺人的必被判罪。’ 22 可是我告訴你們，凡是向弟兄發怒的，必被判罪。人若說弟兄是‘拉加’，必被公議會審判；人若說弟兄是‘摩利’，必難逃地獄的火。 23 所以你在祭壇上獻供物的時候，如果在那裡想起你的弟兄對你不滿， 24 就當在壇前放下供物，先去與弟兄和好，然後才來獻你的供物。 25 趁著你和你的對頭還在路上的時候，要趕快與他和解，免得他抓你去見法官，法官把你交給獄警，關在監裡。 26 我實在告訴你，除非你還清最後一分錢，否則決不能從那裡出來。
不可動淫念
27 “你們聽過有這樣的吩咐：‘不可姦淫。’ 28 可是我告訴你們，凡是看見婦女就動淫念的，心裡已經犯了姦淫。 29 如果你的右眼使你犯罪，就把它挖出來丟掉；寧可失去身體的一部分，勝過全身被丟進地獄裡。 30 如果你的右手使你犯罪，就把它砍下來丟掉；寧可失去身體的一部分，勝過全身進到地獄裡去。
不可休妻(D)
31 “又有這樣的吩咐：‘人若休妻，就應當給她休書。’ 32 可是我告訴你們，凡休妻的，如果不是因她不貞，就是促使她犯姦淫；無論誰娶了被休的婦人，也就是犯姦淫了。
不可發誓
33 “你們又聽過有這樣吩咐古人的話：‘不可背約，向主許的願都要償還。’ 34 可是我告訴你們，總不可發誓，不可指著天發誓，因為天是 神的寶座； 35 不可指著地發誓，因為地是 神的腳凳；不可指著耶路撒冷發誓，因為它是大君王的京城； 36 也不可指著自己的頭發誓，因為你不能使一根頭髮變白或變黑。 37 你們的話，是就說‘是’，不是就說‘不是’；如果再多說，就是出於那惡者。
不可報復(E)
38 “你們聽過有這樣的吩咐：‘以眼還眼，以牙還牙。’ 39 可是我告訴你們，不要與惡人對抗，有人打你的右臉，把另一邊也轉過來讓他打； 40 有人要告你，想拿你的襯衫，就連外套也讓他拿去。 41 有人要強迫你走一里路，就陪他走兩里。 42 有求你的，就給他；想借貸的，也不可拒絕。
當愛仇敵(F)
43 “你們聽過有這樣的吩咐：‘當愛你的鄰舍，恨你的仇敵。’ 44 可是我告訴你們，當愛你們的仇敵，為迫害你們的祈禱， 45 好叫你們成為你們天父的兒子；因為他使太陽照惡人，也照好人；降雨給義人，也給不義的人。 46 如果你們只愛那些愛你們的人，有甚麼賞賜呢？稅吏不也是這樣作嗎？ 47 如果你們單問候你們的弟兄，有甚麼特別呢？教外人不也是這樣作嗎？ 48 所以你們要完全，正如你們的天父是完全的。”
Matthew 5
Expanded Bible
Jesus Teaches the People(A)
5 When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on ·a hill [the mountain] and sat down. His ·followers [disciples] ·came to [gathered around] him, 2 and he began to teach them, saying:
3 “·They are blessed [or Blessed are those…; C and so through v. 10] who ·realize their spiritual poverty [L are the poor in spirit],
for the kingdom of heaven ·belongs to them [is theirs].
4 They are blessed who ·grieve [mourn],
for ·God will comfort them [L they will be comforted; C the passive verb implies God as subject].
5 They are blessed who are ·humble [meek; gentle],
for ·the whole earth will be theirs [L they shall inherit the earth; Ps. 37:11].
6 They are blessed who hunger and thirst after ·justice [righteousness],
for they will be ·satisfied [filled].
7 They are blessed who show mercy to others,
for ·God will show mercy to them [L they will be shown mercy; C the passive verb implies God as subject].
8 They are blessed ·whose thoughts are pure [or whose hearts are pure; T the pure in heart],
for they will see God.
9 They are blessed who work for peace [T Blessed are the peacemakers],
for they will be called God’s ·children [or sons].
10 They are blessed who are persecuted for ·doing good [doing what’s right; L the sake of righteousness],
for the kingdom of heaven ·belongs to them [is theirs].
11 “·You are blessed [T Blessed are you; or God will bless you] when people ·insult [mock; abuse; revile] you and ·hurt [persecute] you. They will lie and say all kinds of evil things ·about [against] you because ·you follow [L of] me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because you have a great reward in heaven. ·People did the same evil things to [L They likewise persecuted] the prophets who lived before you.
You Are Like Salt and Light(B)
13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt ·loses its salty taste [becomes tasteless], ·it cannot [L how can it…?] be made salty again. It is good for nothing, except to be thrown out and ·walked on [trampled].
14 “You are the light ·that gives light to [for; L of] the world. A city that ·is built [stands; is set] on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 And people don’t light a lamp and then hide it under a ·bowl [or basket]. They put it on a lampstand so the light shines for all the people in the house. 16 In the same way let your light shine ·before others [for people to see], so that they will see ·the good things you do [L your good deeds/works] and will ·praise [glorify; give honor to] your Father in heaven.
The Importance of the Law and the Prophets(C)
17 “Don’t think that I have come to ·destroy [abolish; do away with] ·the law of Moses or the teaching of the prophets [L the Law and the Prophets; C referring to the OT]. I have not come to destroy them but to ·bring about what they said [fulfill/complete them]. 18 I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth ·are gone [pass away; disappear], not even ·the smallest letter [T one jot; L one iota; C the smallest Greek letter] or the smallest ·part [stroke; T tittle] of a letter will ·be lost [pass away; disappear] until everything ·has happened [is accomplished/achieved]. 19 [L Therefore] Whoever ·refuses to obey [ignores; breaks; annuls] ·any command [L one of the least of these commands] and teaches other people ·not to obey that command [L to do likewise] will be ·the least important [L called/considered least] in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever ·obeys [keeps; practices] the commands and teaches other people to obey them will be [considered; L called] great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 [L For] I tell you that ·if you are no more obedient than [L unless your righteousness surpasses/exceeds that of] the ·teachers of the law [scribes] and the Pharisees, you will ·never [or certainly not] enter the kingdom of heaven.
Jesus Teaches About Anger(D)
21 “You have heard that it was said to ·our people long ago [our ancestors; the ancients], ‘You ·must [L shall] not murder [Ex. 20:13; Deut. 5:17]. Anyone who murders another will be ·judged [subject to judgment].’ 22 But I tell you, ·if you are [L everyone who is] angry with a brother or sister,[a] you will be ·judged [subject to judgment]. ·If you say [L Whoever says] ·bad things [“Fool!”; L Raca; C an Aramaic term of derision] to a brother or sister, you will be ·judged [subject/liable to judgment] by the ·council [Sanhedrin]. And if you call someone a ·fool [idiot; moron], you will be in danger of the fire of ·hell [L Gehenna; C a valley outside of Jerusalem where in the OT period children were sacrificed to a pagan god; later used as a burning trash heap; a metaphor for hell].
23 “So when you ·offer your gift to God [present your offering/sacrifice] at the altar, and you remember that your brother or sister has something against you, 24 leave your ·gift [offering; sacrifice] there at the altar. Go and ·make peace [be reconciled] with that person [L first], and then come and ·offer your gift [present your offering/sacrifice].
25 “If your ·enemy [opponent; adversary; accuser] is taking you to court, ·become friends [reach agreement; settle matters] quickly, ·before you go [on the way] to court. Otherwise, your ·enemy [opponent; adversary; accuser] might turn you over to the judge, and the judge might give you to the ·guard [officer; warden] to ·put [throw] you in ·jail [prison]. 26 I tell you the truth, you will ·not [never; certainly not] leave there until you have paid ·everything you owe [the last penny; C Greek: the last quadrans; a small copper coin of very low value].
Jesus Teaches About Sexual Sin(E)
27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You ·must [shall] not ·be guilty of [commit] adultery [Ex. 20:14; Deut. 5:18].’ 28 But I tell you that if anyone looks at a woman ·and wants to sin sexually with her [lustfully; L with a desire for her], in his ·mind [heart] he has already ·done that sin [committed adultery] with her. 29 If your right eye causes you to ·sin [L stumble], ·take [tear; gouge] it out and throw it away. [L For] It is better to lose one part of your body than to have your whole body thrown into ·hell [L Gehenna; v. 22]. 30 If your right hand causes you to ·sin [L stumble], cut it off and throw it away. It is better to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into ·hell [L Gehenna; v. 22].
Jesus Teaches About Divorce(F)
31 “It was also said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a written divorce ·paper [notice; certificate; Deut. 24:1].’ 32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife ·forces [causes; makes] her ·to be guilty of [commit] adultery. ·The only reason for a man to divorce his wife is if she has sexual relations with another man [L …except in the case of sexual immorality]. And anyone who marries that divorced woman ·is guilty of [commits] adultery.
Make Promises Carefully
33 “[L Again] You have heard that it was said to ·our people long ago [our ancestors; the ancients], ‘Don’t break your ·promises [vows; oaths], but ·keep [fulfill] the ·promises [vows; oaths] you make to the Lord [Lev. 19:12; Num. 30:2; Deut. 23:21].’ 34 But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all. ·Don’t swear an oath using the name of heaven [L …neither by heaven], because heaven is God’s throne. 35 ·Don’t swear an oath using the name of the earth [L …nor by earth], because the earth ·belongs to God [L is his footstool; Is. 66:1]. ·Don’t swear an oath using the name of Jerusalem […nor by Jerusalem], because it is the city of the great King [Ps. 48:2]. 36 Don’t even swear by your own head, because you cannot make one hair on your head become white or black. 37 ·Say only yes if you mean yes, and no if you mean no [L Let your word “yes” be “yes”; your “no” be “no”]. ·If you say more than yes or no, it [L Anything more than this] is from the Evil One.
Don’t Retaliate(G)
38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth [Ex. 21:24; Lev. 24:20; Deut. 19:21].’ 39 But I tell you, don’t ·stand up against [resist; retaliate against] an evil person. If someone ·slaps [strikes] you on the right cheek [C either an insult or an act of violence], turn to him the other cheek also. 40 If someone wants to sue you in court and take your ·shirt [tunic], let him have your coat also. 41 If someone forces you to go with him one mile, go with him two miles [C alluding to the practice of impressment, whereby a Roman soldier could command a civilian to carry his gear for a mile]. 42 If a person asks you for something, give it to him. Don’t ·refuse to give to [L turn away from] someone who wants to borrow from you.
Love All People(H)
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy [Lev. 19:18].’ 44 But I say to you, love your enemies. Pray for those who ·hurt [persecute] you.[b] 45 ·If you do this, […so that] you will be ·true children [L children; or sons] of your Father in heaven. [L For] He causes ·the [L his] sun to rise on evil people and on good people, and he sends rain ·to those who do right and to those who do wrong [L on the just/righteous and the unjust/unrighteous]. 46 [L For] If you love only the people who love you, ·you will get no reward [what reward is there for that?]. ·Even [L Don’t even…?] the tax collectors do that. 47 And if you ·are nice only to your friends [L greet only your brothers; C probably meaning fellow Jews], ·you are no better than other people [L what more are you doing (than others)?]. Even ·those who don’t know God [the Gentiles; pagans] ·are nice to their friends [L do the same]. 48 ·So [Therefore] you must be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
登山宝训
5 耶稣看见人群，就上了山，坐下来。他的门徒们来到他面前， 2 他就开口教导他们，说：
天国八福
3 “灵里贫乏的人是蒙福的，
因为天国是他们的。
4 悲伤的人是蒙福的，
因为他们将受到安慰。
5 谦和的人是蒙福的，
因为他们将继承那地。
6 饥渴慕义的人是蒙福的，
因为他们将得饱足。
7 怜悯人的人是蒙福的，
因为他们将蒙怜悯。
8 心里洁净的人是蒙福的，
因为他们将看见神。
9 使人和睦的人是蒙福的，
因为他们将被称为‘神的儿女’。
10 为义受逼迫的人是蒙福的，
因为天国是他们的。
11 “当人们因我的缘故责骂你们、逼迫你们、用各种捏造出来的恶事毁谤你们的时候，你们就是蒙福的。 12 你们当欢喜，当快乐，因为你们在天上的报偿是大的。要知道，那些人也这样逼迫了在你们以前的先知们。
信徒是光是盐
13 “你们是地上的盐。盐如果失去了味道，还能用什么来把它腌成咸的呢？它再也没有用处，只好被丢在外面，任人践踏。
14 “你们是世界的光。建在山上的城是不能隐藏的； 15 人点亮了油灯，也不会放在斗[a]底下，而会放在灯台上，它就照亮屋子里所有的人。 16 同样，你们的光也应当照耀在人前，使他们看见你们的美好工作，就荣耀你们在天上的父。
基督成全律法
17 “你们不要以为我来是要废除律法和先知[b]，我来不是要废除，而是要成全。 18 我确实地告诉你们：即使天和地都消逝了，律法的一点一画也绝不会消逝，直到一切都成就。 19 所以，如果有人违犯了这些诫命中最小的一条，又教导人也这样做，他在天国里将被称为最小的；但无论谁遵行这些诫命，又教导人也这样做，这个人在天国里将被称为大的。 20 我告诉你们：你们的义如果不胜过经文士们和法利赛人的义，就绝不能进入天国。
凶杀始于心
21 “你们听过那吩咐古人的话：‘不可杀人。[c]杀人的，当遭受审判。’ 22 但是我告诉你们：所有向他弟兄[d]发怒的，当遭受审判；骂他弟兄‘废物’的，当遭受议会的审判；骂‘蠢货’的，当遭受烈火的地狱。 23 所以，如果你在祭坛献上祭物的时候，在那里想起弟兄向你怀着怨， 24 就要把祭物留在祭坛前，先去与弟兄和好，然后再回来献上你的祭物。 25 你要趁着与你的对头还在路上的时候，赶快与他和解，免得他把你交给审判官，审判官把你交给差役，你就会被投进监狱了。 26 我确实地告诉你：除非你还清了最后的一个铜币[e]，否则你绝不能从那里出来。
内心的奸淫
27 “你们听过那吩咐[f]：‘不可通奸。’[g] 28 但是我告诉你们：所有怀着欲念看女人的，就已经在心里和她通奸了。 29 如果你的右眼使你绊倒，就把它剜出来丢掉！因为对你来说，失去你身体的一部分[h]，总比你全身被丢进地狱要好。 30 如果你的右手使你绊倒，就把它砍下来丢掉！因为对你来说，失去你身体的一部分，总比你全身下地狱要好。
谴责离婚行为
31 “又有吩咐：‘如果有人休妻，要给妻子一份休书。’[i] 32 但是我告诉你们：凡是休妻的，除非为了淫乱的缘故，否则就是让她犯通奸罪了；凡是娶了被休的女人的，也是犯通奸罪。
说诚实话
33 “另外，你们听过那吩咐古人的话：‘不可起假誓。你所起的誓，总要向主偿还。’[j] 34 但是我告诉你们：根本不可起誓。不可指着天起誓，因为天是神的宝座； 35 不可指着地起誓，因为地是神的脚凳；不可用耶路撒冷起誓，因为耶路撒冷是那大君王的城； 36 也不可指着自己的头起誓，因为你不能使一根头发变白或变黑。 37 你们的话语应该如此：是，就说是；不是，就说不是。再多说，就是出于那恶者。
以德报怨
38 “你们听过这吩咐：‘以眼还眼，以牙还牙。’[k] 39 但是我告诉你们：不要与恶人作对。有人打你的右脸，把左脸[l]也转给他； 40 有人想要控告你，并要拿走你的里衣[m]，你就连外衣也由他拿去； 41 有人强迫你走一里[n]路，你就与他一起走两里； 42 有人求你，你要给他；有人要向你借什么，你不要拒绝。
爱敌人
43 “你们听过这吩咐：‘要爱你的邻人[o]，恨你的敌人[p]。’ 44 但是我告诉你们：要爱你们的敌人[q]，[r]为那些[s]逼迫你们的人祷告， 45 好让你们成为你们天父的儿女。因为他使太阳升起，对着恶人，也对着好人；降雨给义人，也给不义的人。 46 其实你们如果只爱那些爱你们的人，会有什么报偿呢？连税吏不也这样做吗？ 47 你们如果只问候自己的兄弟，这样做有什么特别呢？连外邦人[t]不也这样做吗？ 48 所以，你们当成为完全的，就像你们的天父是完全的。

Matthew 5
King James Version
5 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
21 Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
33 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.
41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
