馬太福音 5
Chinese Standard Bible (Traditional)
登山寶訓
5 耶穌看見人群,就上了山,坐下來。他的門徒們來到他面前, 2 他就開口教導他們,說:
天國八福
3 「靈裡貧乏的人是蒙福的,
因為天國是他們的。
4 悲傷的人是蒙福的,
因為他們將受到安慰。
5 謙和的人是蒙福的,
因為他們將繼承那地。
6 飢渴慕義的人是蒙福的,
因為他們將得飽足。
7 憐憫人的人是蒙福的,
因為他們將蒙憐憫。
8 心裡潔淨的人是蒙福的,
因為他們將看見神。
9 使人和睦的人是蒙福的,
因為他們將被稱為『神的兒女』。
10 為義受逼迫的人是蒙福的,
因為天國是他們的。
11 「當人們因我的緣故責罵你們、逼迫你們、用各種捏造出來的惡事毀謗你們的時候,你們就是蒙福的。 12 你們當歡喜,當快樂,因為你們在天上的報償是大的。要知道,那些人也這樣逼迫了在你們以前的先知們。
信徒是光是鹽
13 「你們是地上的鹽。鹽如果失去了味道,還能用什麼來把它醃成鹹的呢?它再也沒有用處,只好被丟在外面,任人踐踏。
14 「你們是世界的光。建在山上的城是不能隱藏的; 15 人點亮了油燈,也不會放在斗[a]底下,而會放在燈臺上,它就照亮屋子裡所有的人。 16 同樣,你們的光也應當照耀在人前,使他們看見你們的美好工作,就榮耀你們在天上的父。
基督成全律法
17 「你們不要以為我來是要廢除律法和先知[b],我來不是要廢除,而是要成全。 18 我確實地告訴你們:即使天和地都消逝了,律法的一點一畫也絕不會消逝,直到一切都成就。 19 所以,如果有人違犯了這些誡命中最小的一條,又教導人也這樣做,他在天國裡將被稱為最小的;但無論誰遵行這些誡命,又教導人也這樣做,這個人在天國裡將被稱為大的。 20 我告訴你們:你們的義如果不勝過經文士們和法利賽人的義,就絕不能進入天國。
凶殺始於心
21 「你們聽過那吩咐古人的話:『不可殺人。[c]殺人的,當遭受審判。』 22 但是我告訴你們:所有向他弟兄[d]發怒的,當遭受審判;罵他弟兄『廢物』的,當遭受議會的審判;罵『蠢貨』的,當遭受烈火的地獄。 23 所以,如果你在祭壇獻上祭物的時候,在那裡想起弟兄向你懷著怨, 24 就要把祭物留在祭壇前,先去與弟兄和好,然後再回來獻上你的祭物。 25 你要趁著與你的對頭還在路上的時候,趕快與他和解,免得他把你交給審判官,審判官把你交給差役,你就會被投進監獄了。 26 我確實地告訴你:除非你還清了最後的一個銅幣[e],否則你絕不能從那裡出來。
內心的姦淫
27 「你們聽過那吩咐[f]:『不可通姦。』[g] 28 但是我告訴你們:所有懷著欲念看女人的,就已經在心裡和她通姦了。 29 如果你的右眼使你絆倒,就把它剜出來丟掉!因為對你來說,失去你身體的一部分[h],總比你全身被丟進地獄要好。 30 如果你的右手使你絆倒,就把它砍下來丟掉!因為對你來說,失去你身體的一部分,總比你全身下地獄要好。
譴責離婚行為
31 「又有吩咐:『如果有人休妻,要給妻子一份休書。』[i] 32 但是我告訴你們:凡是休妻的,除非為了淫亂的緣故,否則就是讓她犯通姦罪了;凡是娶了被休的女人的,也是犯通姦罪。
說誠實話
33 「另外,你們聽過那吩咐古人的話:『不可起假誓。你所起的誓,總要向主償還。』[j] 34 但是我告訴你們:根本不可起誓。不可指著天起誓,因為天是神的寶座; 35 不可指著地起誓,因為地是神的腳凳;不可用耶路撒冷起誓,因為耶路撒冷是那大君王的城; 36 也不可指著自己的頭起誓,因為你不能使一根頭髮變白或變黑。 37 你們的話語應該如此:是,就說是;不是,就說不是。再多說,就是出於那惡者。
以德報怨
38 「你們聽過這吩咐:『以眼還眼,以牙還牙。』[k] 39 但是我告訴你們:不要與惡人作對。有人打你的右臉,把左臉[l]也轉給他; 40 有人想要控告你,並要拿走你的裡衣[m],你就連外衣也由他拿去; 41 有人強迫你走一里[n]路,你就與他一起走兩里; 42 有人求你,你要給他;有人要向你借什麼,你不要拒絕。
愛敵人
43 「你們聽過這吩咐:『要愛你的鄰人[o],恨你的敵人[p]。』 44 但是我告訴你們:要愛你們的敵人[q],[r]為那些[s]逼迫你們的人禱告, 45 好讓你們成為你們天父的兒女。因為他使太陽升起,對著惡人,也對著好人;降雨給義人,也給不義的人。 46 其實你們如果只愛那些愛你們的人,會有什麼報償呢?連稅吏不也這樣做嗎? 47 你們如果只問候自己的兄弟,這樣做有什麼特別呢?連外邦人[t]不也這樣做嗎? 48 所以,你們當成為完全的,就像你們的天父是完全的。

Matthew 5
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
The Beatitudes
5 Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down his disciples came to 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 those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
5 “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
6 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
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 sons of God.
10 “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Blessed are you when men revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. 12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so men persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Salt and Light
13 “You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trodden under foot by men.
14 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid. 15 Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a bushel, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
The Law and the Prophets
17 “Think not that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets; I have come not to abolish them but to fulfil them.[a] 18 For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the law until all is accomplished. 19 Whoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
Concerning Anger
21 “You have heard that it was said to the men of old, ‘You shall not kill; and whoever kills shall be liable to judgment.’ 22 But I say to you that every one who is angry with his brother[b] shall be liable to judgment; whoever insults[c] his brother shall be liable to the council, and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be liable to the hell[d] of fire. 23 So if you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your gift there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. 25 Make friends quickly with your accuser, while you are going with him to court, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison; 26 truly, I say to you, you will never get out till you have paid the last penny.
Concerning Adultery
27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ 28 But I say to you that every one who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and throw it away; it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell.[e][f] 30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away; it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell.[g]
Concerning Divorce
31 “It was also said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’ 32 But I say to you that every one who divorces his wife, except on the ground of unchastity,[h] makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
Concerning Oaths
33 “Again you have heard that it was said to the men of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn.’ 34 But I say to you, Do not swear at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. 36 And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. 37 Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil.[i]
Concerning Retaliation
38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ 39 But I say to you, Do not resist one who is evil. But if any one strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also; 40 and if any one would sue you and take your coat, let him have your cloak as well; 41 and if any one forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. 42 Give to him who begs from you, and do not refuse him who would borrow from you.
Love for Enemies
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you salute only your brethren, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? 48 You, therefore, must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

- Matthew 5:22 Other ancient authorities insert without cause

- 5.32 unchastity: The Greek word used here appears to refer to marriages that were not legally marriages because they were either within the forbidden degrees of consanguinity (Lev 18.6-16) or contracted with a Gentile. The phrase except on the ground of unchastity does not occur in the parallel passage in Lk 16.18. See also Mt 19.9 (Mk 10.11-12), and especially 1 Cor 7.10-11 which shows that the prohibition is unconditional.
