Matthew 5
World English Bible
5 Seeing the multitudes, he went up onto the mountain. When he had sat down, his disciples came to him. 2 He opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.(A)
4 Blessed are those who mourn,
for they shall be comforted.(B)
5 Blessed are the gentle,
for they shall inherit the earth.[a] (C)
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for 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 children of God.
10 Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake,
for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
11 “Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
13 “You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its flavor, with what will it be salted? It is then good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under the feet of men.
14 You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can’t be hidden. 15 Neither do you light a lamp and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house. 16 Even so, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
17 “Don’t think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I didn’t come to destroy, but to fulfill. 18 For most certainly, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not even one smallest letter[b] or one tiny pen stroke[c] shall in any way pass away from the law, until all things are accomplished. 19 Therefore, whoever shall break one of these least commandments and teach others to do so, shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven; but whoever shall do and teach them shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, there is no way you will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
21 “You have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, ‘You shall not murder;’(D) and ‘Whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’ 22 But I tell you that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause [d] will be in danger of the judgment. Whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ [e] will be in danger of the council. Whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of Gehenna.[f]
23 “If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you, 24 leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. 25 Agree with your adversary quickly while you are with him on the way; lest perhaps the prosecutor deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be cast into prison. 26 Most certainly I tell you, you shall by no means get out of there until you have paid the last penny.[g]
27 “You have heard that it was said, [h] ‘You shall not commit adultery;’(E) 28 but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna.[i] 30 If your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna.[j]
31 “It was also said, ‘Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorce,’(F) 32 but I tell you that whoever puts away his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is put away commits adultery.
33 “Again you have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, ‘You shall not make false vows, but shall perform to the Lord your vows,’(G) 34 but I tell you, don’t swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God; 35 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 Neither shall you swear by your head, for you can’t make one hair white or black. 37 But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No.’ Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.
38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’(H) 39 But I tell you, don’t resist him who is evil; but whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 If anyone sues you to take away your coat, let him have your cloak also. 41 Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two. 42 Give to him who asks you, and don’t turn away him who desires to borrow from you.
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor (I) and hate your enemy.’[k] 44 But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Don’t even the tax collectors do the same? 47 If you only greet your friends, what more do you do than others? Don’t even the tax collectors[l] do the same? 48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

The Sermon on the Mount; The Beatitudes
5 (A)Now when Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on (B)the [a]mountain; and after He sat down, His disciples came to Him. 2 (C)And He opened His mouth and began to teach them, saying,
3 “[b](D)Blessed are the [c]poor in spirit, for (E)theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are (F)those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
5 Blessed are (G)the [d]lowly, for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are (H)those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
7 Blessed are (I)the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
8 Blessed are (J)the pure in heart, for (K)they shall see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for (L)they shall be called sons of God.
10 Blessed are those who have been (M)persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for (N)theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Blessed are you when people (O)insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for (P)in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Salt and Light
13 “You are the salt of the earth; but (Q)if the salt has become tasteless, how will it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out to be trampled under foot by men.
14 “You are (R)the light of the world. A city set on a [e]hill cannot be hidden; 15 (S)nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a [f]basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may (T)see your good works, and (U)glorify your Father who is in heaven.
17 “Do not think that I came to abolish the (V)Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. 18 For truly I say to you, (W)until heaven and earth pass away, not [g]the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished. 19 Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches [h]others to do the same, shall be called least (X)in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 “For I say to you that unless your (Y)righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.

21 “(Z)You have heard that [i]the ancients were told, ‘(AA)You shall not murder’ and ‘Whoever murders shall be guilty before (AB)the court.’ 22 But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before (AC)the court; and whoever says to his brother, ‘[j]Raca,’ shall be guilty before the [k](AD)Sanhedrin; and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ shall be guilty enough to go into the [l](AE)fiery hell. 23 Therefore if you are (AF)presenting your [m]offering at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your [n]offering there before the altar and go; first be (AG)reconciled to your brother, and then come and present your [o]offering. 25 (AH)Make friends quickly with your opponent at law while you are with him on the way, so that your opponent may not hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you be thrown into prison. 26 Truly I say to you, (AI)you will not come out of there until you have paid up the last [p]quadrans.
27 “(AJ)You have heard that it was said, ‘(AK)You shall not commit adultery’; 28 but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman (AL)to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 (AM)But if your right eye makes you [q]stumble, tear it out and throw it from you; for it is better for you [r]to lose one of the parts of your body, [s]than for your whole body to be thrown into [t](AN)hell. 30 (AO)And if your right hand makes you [u]stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; for it is better for you [v]to lose one of the parts of your body, [w]than for your whole body to go into [x](AP)hell.
31 “Now it was said, ‘(AQ)Whoever sends his wife away, let him give her a certificate of divorce’; 32 (AR)but I say to you that everyone who [y]divorces his wife, except for the reason of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery; and whoever marries a [z]divorced woman commits adultery.
33 “Again, (AS)you have heard that [aa]the ancients were told, ‘[ab](AT)You shall not [ac]make false vows, but shall fulfill your [ad]vows to the [ae]Lord.’ 34 But I say to you, (AU)make no oath at all, either by heaven, for it is (AV)the throne of God, 35 or by the earth, for it is the (AW)footstool of His feet, or [af]by Jerusalem, for it is (AX)the city of the great King. 36 Nor shall you make an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. 37 But let your statement be, ‘Yes, yes’ or ‘No, no’; anything beyond these is [ag]of (AY)the evil one.
38 “(AZ)You have heard that it was said, ‘(BA)An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’ 39 But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but (BB)whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. 40 And if anyone wants to sue you and take your [ah]tunic, let him have your [ai]garment also. 41 And whoever [aj]forces you to go one mile, go with him two. 42 (BC)Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you.
43 “(BD)You have heard that it was said, ‘(BE)You shall love your neighbor (BF)and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, (BG)love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may [ak]be (BH)sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 For (BI)if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? 48 Therefore [al](BJ)you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Orthodox Jewish Bible
5 When Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach saw the multitudes, he ALAH HAHAR (went up the mountain, SHEMOT 19:3) and when he sat down, his talmidim came to him.
2 Then Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach began to speak, and gave them this torah (teaching), saying,
3 Ashrey ANIYEI HARUACH (Blessed, Happy are the poor in spirit, YESHAYAH 66:2) for theirs is the Malchut HaShomayim.
4 Ashrey are the AVELIM (the ones mourning, YESHAYAH 61:2), for they will be comforted.
5 Ashrey are the ANAVIM (humble, YESHAYAH 29:19; ZEFANYAH 2:3), for YIRESHU ARETZ (they will inherit the land, TEHILLIM 37:11).
6 Ashrey are the ones hungering and thirsting for Tzidkat Hashem (Tzedek Olamim, Everlasting Righteousness, DANIEL 9:24), for they will be satisfied.
7 Ashrey are the merciful, for they will be shown rachamim (mercy).
8 Ashrey are those of LEV TAHOR (pure heart, TEHILLIM 51:12 [10]), for they will see Hashem.
9 Ashrey are the peacemakers, for they will be called bnei haElohim (sons of G-d).
10 Ashrey are the ones being persecuted because of Tzidkat Hashem (righteousness, DANIEL 9:24), for theirs is the Malchut HaShomayim.
11 Ashrey are you when they reproach you and persecute you and speak all kinds of lashon horah against you, speaking sheker (falsehood, lies) because of me [Moshiach].
12 Have simcha (joy) and lev sameach (glad heart), for your sachar (reward) is great in Shomayim, for thus they persecuted the Neviim before you.
13 You are the melach haaretz (salt of the earth), but if the salt becomes tasteless, in what way will it become salty again? It is no longer good for anything, but is thrown out and trampled by men.
14 You are the Ohr HaOlam (the Light of the World). A city lying on a mountaintop cannot be nistar (hidden).
15 No one, after lighting a menorah, places it under a measuring basket, but on the shulchan (table), and it gives ohr (light) to kol anshei habais (all in the house).
16 In like manner, let your light so shine before Bnei Adam, that they may see your maasim tovim (good works) and give kavod (glory) to your Av shbaShomayim (Father in Heaven).
17 Do not think that I came to abolish the Torah or the Neviim. I did not come to abolish but to complete.
18 For, omein, truly I say to you, until Shomayim and haaretz pass away, not one yod, not one tag (ornamental flourish), will pass from the Torah until everything is accomplished.
19 Therefore, whoever annuls one of the least of these mitzvot (divine commandments given by Hashem to Moshe Rebbenu) and so teaches Bnei Adam, shall be called katon (least) in the Malchut HaShomayim; but whoever practices and teaches them, this one will be called gadol (great) in the Malchut HaShomayim.
20 For I say unto you that unless the Tzedek (Righteousness) of you exceeds that of the Sofrim and Perushim, you will certainly not enter the Malchut HaShomayim.
21 You have heard that it was said to the ancients, LO TIRTZACH (Do not murder, SHEMOT 20:13; DEVARIM 5:17), and every rotzeach (murderer) shall be liable before the Bet Din (Court).
22 But I say to you, that everyone who harbors kaas (anger) against his Ach [b’Moshiach], his chaver, shall be subject to mishpat (judgment); and whoever shall say to his Ach [b’Moshiach], Reyka! (Good for nothing!) will be subject to the Sanhedrin; and whoever shall say Shoteh! (Fool) shall be subject to Eish Gehinnom (Fire of Hell).
23 Therefore, if you bring your korban (sacrifice) to the Mizbeach (altar), and there you remember that your Ach [b’Moshiach] has something against you,
24 leave your korban there before the Mizbeach, and go and first be reconciled to your Ach [b’Moshiach]; and then come offer your korban.
25 Come to terms quickly with your ish riv (opponent in a lawsuit), while you are a fellow-traveler on the derech eretz, lest the ish riv might deliver you to the shofet (judge), and the shofet might deliver you to the shoter (law official), and the shoter might deliver you to the beit hasohar (prison house).
26 For, omein, truly I say to you, you may never come out from there until you repay the last peruta (small coin).
27 You have heard that it was said, LO TINAF (Do not commit adultery, SHEMOT 20:14).
28 But I say to you that everyone looking upon a woman with taavah (lust) for her has already committed niuf (adultery) with her in his heart.
29 And if your right eye causes you to commit chet (sin), tear it out and throw it from you, for it is better for you that one of your evarim (members) be lost and not your whole basar (body, flesh) be thrown into Gehinnom.
30 And if your right hand causes you to commit chet, cut it off and throw it from you, for it is better for you that one of your evarim (members) be lost and not that your whole basar may go into Gehinnom.
31 It was also said, Whoever divorces his wife, let him give to her a “get,” a SEFER KERITUT (bill of divorce, DEVARIM 24:1).
32 But I say to you that everyone divorcing his wife, except for the DVAR (indecent thing, DEVARIM 24:1) of zenut (fornication), makes her become a noefet (adulteress), and whoever marries a gerusha (divorcee) commits niuf (adultery).
33 Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients, You shall not break your nederim (vows), but you shall repay your vows to Hashem.[T.N.See VAYIKRA 19:12; BAMIDBAR 30:3; DEVARIM 23:22]
34 But I say to you, Do not swear shevuot (oaths) at all, neither by Shomayim, for it is the kes malchut of Hashem (throne of G-d),
35 nor by haaretz, for it is the hadom (footstool) of his feet, nor by Yerushalayim, for it is the kiryat melech rav (city of the great king, TEHILLIM 48:3[2]).
36 Neither are you to swear by your rosh, for you are not able to make one hair turn white or black.
37 But let your word be ken, ken (yes, yes) or lo, lo (no, no), but anything beyond this is lashon horah.
38 You have heard that it was said, AYIN TACHAT AYIN, SHEN TACHAT SHEN (An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth SHEMOT 21:24).
39 But I say to you, Do not set yourself against the rasha (evil person), but whoever hits you on your right cheek, turn to him also the other cheek.
40 And the one wishing to sue you and take your tunic, give to him also your kaftan.
41 And whoever will force you to go one mile, go with him two.
42 And the one asking you to give and the one wishing to borrow from you, from these do not turn away.
43 You have heard that it was said, VAHAVTAH LREIACHAH (You shall love your neighbor, VAYIKRA 19:18) and you shall hate your oyev (enemy).
44 But I say to you, Love your enemies, and offer tefillos (prayers) for the ones bringing redifah (persecution) upon you.
45 Do this so that you may become banim of your Av shbaShomayim, for His shemesh (sun) He makes to rise on the ra’im (evil ones) and the tovim (good ones), and He sends His geshem (rain) upon the tzaddikim (righteous ones) and the resha’im (unrighteous ones).
46 For if you have ahavah (love) for the ones who have ahavah for you, what sachar (reward) do you have? Even the mochesim (tax collectors) do that, don’t they?
47 And if you give Drishat Shalom (greetings) only to your Achim [b’Moshiach], what extraordinary thing are you doing? Don’t even the Goyim do the same?
48 Therefore, be shlemim (complete), even as is your Av shbaShomayim.

O sermão da montanha. As beatitudes(A)
5 Jesus, vendo a multidão, subiu a um monte, e, assentando-se, aproximaram-se dele os seus discípulos; 2 e, abrindo a boca, os ensinava, dizendo:
3 Bem-aventurados os pobres de espírito, porque deles é o Reino dos céus; 4 bem-aventurados os que choram, porque eles serão consolados; 5 bem-aventurados os mansos, porque eles herdarão a terra; 6 bem-aventurados os que têm fome e sede de justiça, porque eles serão fartos; 7 bem-aventurados os misericordiosos, porque eles alcançarão misericórdia; 8 bem-aventurados os limpos de coração, porque eles verão a Deus; 9 bem-aventurados os pacificadores, porque eles serão chamados filhos de Deus; 10 bem-aventurados os que sofrem perseguição por causa da justiça, porque deles é o Reino dos céus; 11 bem-aventurados sois vós quando vos injuriarem, e perseguirem, e, mentindo, disserem todo o mal contra vós, por minha causa. 12 Exultai e alegrai-vos, porque é grande o vosso galardão nos céus; porque assim perseguiram os profetas que foram antes de vós.
Os discípulos são o sal da terra e a luz do mundo
13 Vós sois o sal da terra; e, se o sal for insípido, com que se há de salgar? Para nada mais presta, senão para se lançar fora e ser pisado pelos homens.
14 Vós sois a luz do mundo; não se pode esconder uma cidade edificada sobre um monte; 15 nem se acende a candeia e se coloca debaixo do alqueire, mas, no velador, e dá luz a todos que estão na casa. 16 Assim resplandeça a vossa luz diante dos homens, para que vejam as vossas boas obras e glorifiquem o vosso Pai, que está nos céus.
O cumprimento da lei e dos profetas
17 Não cuideis que vim destruir a lei ou os profetas; não vim ab-rogar, mas cumprir. 18 Porque em verdade vos digo que, até que o céu e a terra passem, nem um jota ou um til se omitirá da lei sem que tudo seja cumprido. 19 Qualquer, pois, que violar um destes menores mandamentos e assim ensinar aos homens será chamado o menor no Reino dos céus; aquele, porém, que os cumprir e ensinar será chamado grande no Reino dos céus. 20 Porque vos digo que, se a vossa justiça não exceder a dos escribas e fariseus, de modo nenhum entrareis no Reino dos céus.
21 Ouvistes que foi dito aos antigos: Não matarás; mas qualquer que matar será réu de juízo. 22 Eu, porém, vos digo que qualquer que, sem motivo, se encolerizar contra seu irmão será réu de juízo, e qualquer que chamar a seu irmão de raca será réu do Sinédrio; e qualquer que lhe chamar de louco será réu do fogo do inferno. 23 Portanto, se trouxeres a tua oferta ao altar e aí te lembrares de que teu irmão tem alguma coisa contra ti, 24 deixa ali diante do altar a tua oferta, e vai reconciliar-te primeiro com teu irmão, e depois vem, e apresenta a tua oferta. 25 Concilia-te depressa com o teu adversário, enquanto estás no caminho com ele, para que não aconteça que o adversário te entregue ao juiz, e o juiz te entregue ao oficial, e te encerrem na prisão. 26 Em verdade te digo que, de maneira nenhuma, sairás dali, enquanto não pagares o último ceitil.
27 Ouvistes que foi dito aos antigos: Não cometerás adultério. 28 Eu porém, vos digo que qualquer que atentar numa mulher para a cobiçar já em seu coração cometeu adultério com ela. 29 Portanto, se o teu olho direito te escandalizar, arranca-o e atira-o para longe de ti, pois te é melhor que se perca um dos teus membros do que todo o teu corpo seja lançado no inferno. 30 E, se a tua mão direita te escandalizar, corta-a e atira-a para longe de ti, porque te é melhor que um dos teus membros se perca do que todo o teu corpo seja lançado no inferno. 31 Também foi dito: Qualquer que deixar sua mulher, que lhe dê carta de desquite. 32 Eu, porém, vos digo que qualquer que repudiar sua mulher, a não ser por causa de prostituição, faz que ela cometa adultério; e qualquer que casar com a repudiada comete adultério.
33 Outrossim, ouvistes que foi dito aos antigos: Não perjurarás, mas cumprirás teus juramentos ao Senhor. 34 Eu, porém, vos digo que, de maneira nenhuma, jureis nem pelo céu, porque é o trono de Deus, 35 nem pela terra, porque é o escabelo de seus pés, nem por Jerusalém, porque é a cidade do grande Rei, 36 nem jurarás pela tua cabeça, porque não podes tornar um cabelo branco ou preto. 37 Seja, porém, o vosso falar: Sim, sim; não, não, porque o que passa disso é de procedência maligna.
38 Ouvistes que foi dito: Olho por olho e dente por dente. 39 Eu, porém, vos digo que não resistais ao mal; mas, se qualquer te bater na face direita, oferece-lhe também a outra; 40 e ao que quiser pleitear contigo e tirar-te a vestimenta, larga-lhe também a capa; 41 e, se qualquer te obrigar a caminhar uma milha, vai com ele duas. 42 Dá a quem te pedir e não te desvies daquele que quiser que lhe emprestes.
43 Ouvistes que foi dito: Amarás o teu próximo e aborrecerás o teu inimigo. 44 Eu, porém, vos digo: Amai a vossos inimigos, bendizei os que vos maldizem, fazei bem aos que vos odeiam e orai pelos que vos maltratam e vos perseguem, 45 para que sejais filhos do Pai que está nos céus; porque faz que o seu sol se levante sobre maus e bons e a chuva desça sobre justos e injustos. 46 Pois, se amardes os que vos amam, que galardão tereis? Não fazem os publicanos também o mesmo? 47 E, se saudardes unicamente os vossos irmãos, que fazeis de mais? Não fazem os publicanos também assim? 48 Sede vós, pois, perfeitos, como é perfeito o vosso Pai, que está nos céus.
