馬太福音 5
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
八福
5 耶穌看見這些人群,就上了山,剛坐下,門徒便走到祂跟前, 2 祂就開口教導他們,說:
3 「心靈貧窮的人有福了,
因為天國是他們的。
4 哀慟的人有福了,
因為他們必得安慰。
5 謙和的人有福了,
因為他們必承受土地。
6 愛慕公義如饑似渴的人有福了,
因為他們必得飽足。
7 心存憐憫的人有福了,
因為他們必蒙上帝的憐憫。
8 心靈純潔的人有福了,
因為他們必看見上帝。
9 使人和睦的人有福了,
因為他們必被稱為上帝的兒女。
10 為義受迫害的人有福了,
因為天國是他們的。
11 「人們因為我的緣故侮辱、迫害、肆意毀謗你們,你們就有福了。 12 要歡喜快樂,因為你們在天上有很大的獎賞。他們也曾這樣迫害以前的先知。
鹽和光
13 「你們是世上的鹽。如果鹽失去鹹味,怎能使它再變鹹呢?它將毫無用處,只有被丟在外面任人踐踏。 14 你們是世上的光,如同建在山上的城一樣無法隱藏。 15 人點亮了燈,不會把它放在斗底下,而是放在燈臺上,好照亮全家。 16 同樣,你們的光也應當照在人面前,好讓他們看見你們的好行為,便讚美你們天上的父。
成全律法
17 「不要以為我是來廢除律法和先知書,我不是來廢除,乃是來成全。 18 我實在告訴你們,就是到天地都消失了,律法的一點一劃都不會廢除,全都要成就。 19 所以,誰違背這些誡命中最小的一條,並教導別人違背,誰在天國將被稱為最小的。但誰遵守這些誡命,並教導別人遵守,誰在天國將被稱為大的。 20 我告訴你們,除非你們的義勝過律法教師和法利賽人的義,否則斷不能進天國。
論仇恨
21 「你們聽過吩咐古人的話,『不可殺人,殺人的要受審判。』 22 但我告訴你們,凡無緣無故[a]向弟兄發怒的,要受審判;凡罵弟兄是白癡的,要受公會[b]的審判;凡罵弟兄是笨蛋的,難逃地獄的火。
23 「所以,你在祭壇前獻祭的時候,要是想起有弟兄和你有過節, 24 就該把祭物留在祭壇前,先去跟他和好,然後再來獻祭。
25 「趁著你和告你的人還在去法庭的路上,你要趕緊與對方和解。不然,他會把你交給審判官,審判官會把你交給差役關進監牢。 26 我實在告訴你,要是有一分錢沒有還清,你絕不能從那裡出來。
論通姦
27 「你們聽過這樣的話,『不可通姦。』 28 但我告訴你們,凡看見婦女就動淫念的,他在心裡已經犯了通姦罪。 29 如果你的右眼使你犯罪,就把它剜掉!寧可失去身體的一部分,也比整個人下地獄好。 30 如果你的右手使你犯罪,就把它砍掉!寧可失去身體的一部分,也比整個人下地獄好。
論休妻
31 「還有話說,『人若休妻,必須給她休書』。 32 但我告訴你們,除非是妻子不貞,否則,休妻就是使妻子犯通姦罪,娶被休女子的人也犯了通姦罪。
論起誓
33 「你們也聽過吩咐古人的話,『不可違背誓言,總要向主遵守所起的誓。』 34 但我告訴你們,不可起誓。不可指著天起誓,因為天是上帝的寶座。 35 不可指著地起誓,因為地是上帝的腳凳。不可指著聖城耶路撒冷起誓,因為那是大君王的城。 36 也不可指著自己的頭起誓,因為你不能使一根頭髮變黑或變白。 37 你們說話,是就說是,不是就說不是,多說的便是來自那惡者[c]。
論愛仇敵
38 「你們聽過這樣的話,『以眼還眼,以牙還牙。』 39 但我告訴你們,不要跟惡人作對。有人打你的右臉,連左臉也轉過來讓他打。 40 有人想控告你,要奪取你的內衣,連外衣也給他。 41 有人強迫你走一里路,你就跟他走二里路。 42 有求你的,就給他;有向你借的,不可拒絕他。
43 「你們聽過這樣的話,『要愛鄰居,恨仇敵。』 44 但我告訴你們,要愛仇敵,為迫害你們的人禱告。 45 這樣,你們才是天父的孩子。因為祂讓陽光照好人也照壞人,降雨給義人也給惡人。 46 如果你們只愛那些愛你們的人,有什麼值得嘉獎的呢?就是稅吏也會這樣做。 47 如果你們只問候自己的弟兄,有什麼特別呢?就是外族人也會這樣做。 48 所以,你們要純全,正如你們的天父是純全的。
馬 太 福 音 5
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
耶稣教导人们
5 耶稣看到有许多人在那里,就走到一座小山上坐了下来。门徒们向他聚拢过来。 2 耶稣开始教导他们说:
3 “知道自己在属灵境界中有需求的人受到祝福,
因为天国属于他们;
4 悲伤的人受到祝福,
因为上帝会来抚慰他们;
5 温和的人受到祝福,
因为他们将承受上帝许诺的土地 [a];
6 渴望正义的人受到祝福,
因为上帝会满足他们的要求;
7 仁慈的人受到祝福,
因为上帝会施予他们怜恤;
8 心灵纯洁的人受到祝福,
因为他们将与上帝同在;
9 追求和平的人受到祝福,
因为他们必将成为上帝之子;
10 为了执行上帝的旨意而受到迫害的人受到祝福,
因为天国属于他们。
11 “当你们因为跟随我而受人们的侮辱、迫害和恶语中伤时,你们就受到祝福了。 12 应该欢喜快乐,因为你们在天堂里获得的奖赏是巨大的。他们也曾同样地虐待了在你们之前的先知。
你们像盐、像光
13 “你们就好像是世上的盐,但是,如果盐失去了咸味,它怎么可能再变咸呢?它也就没有任何用处了,只能被扔掉,任人践踏。
14 “你们是世界的光。山上的城市是藏不住的; 15 点燃的灯火也不会被扣在碗下面,而是被放在灯台上,把光带给屋子里的人们。 16 同样,你们的光也应该照亮在人们面前,让他们看见你们的善行,把荣耀归给你们在天上的父。
耶稣与旧约
17 “不要以为我是为了要毁弃律法和先知的教导而来的,我不是来毁弃它们的,而是来贯彻和实现它们的。 18 我实话告诉你们,只要天地还存在,律法的一笔一划都不能消失,直到所有的事情发生。 19 所以,无论是谁,只要违反了律法中的任何一条,甚至似乎是微不足道的一条,并且教唆别人也这么做,他在天国里就是最渺小的;无论是谁,只要遵守律法,同时又教育别人也这么做,那么,他在天国里就是伟大的。 20 我告诉你们,如果你们做上帝要你们做的事情,却胜不过律法师和法利赛人,那么,你们就别想进天国!
耶稣针对发怒的教导
21 “你们一定听说过告诫我们祖先的话∶‘不许杀人。杀人者必受到审判。’ [b] 22 但是,我告诉你们,凡是对别人动怒的人,也将受到审判;凡是侮辱别人的人,也将会受到犹太法庭 [c]的审判;凡是说别人‘蠢货’的人,也将遭到地狱烈火的焚烧。
23 “所以,当你向祭坛献供品时,如果想起有人与你不和, 24 你应该先把供品放在祭坛前,去和那个人言归于好,然后再来献供品。
25 如果你的仇人要和你打官司,趁着还在路上的时候,赶快和他交朋友,否则,他会把你交给法官,法官又会把你交给看守,然后,你又会被投进监狱。 26 我实话告诉你们,除非你偿还了最后一分钱,否则你别想从监狱里出来。
耶稣针对通奸的教导
27 “你们听说过‘不许通奸’ [d]的话了吧? 28 我告诉你们,如果有人看见女人就萌生淫邪之念,那么,他在心里就已经和她通奸了。 29 如果你的右眼使你犯罪,那就把右眼挖出来扔掉。宁可舍弃身体的一部分,也不要让整个身体投入地狱。 30 如果你的右手使你犯罪,那就把右手砍下来扔掉。宁可舍弃身体的一部分,也不要让整个身体下地狱。
耶稣针对离婚的教导
31 还有一条教导是∶‘无论谁与妻子离婚,都必须给她一份书面的休书。’ [e] 32 我告诉你们,除非是他妻子不贞,任何男人与妻子离婚,他就是在使她犯通奸罪;谁娶离了婚的女人,谁就犯了通奸罪。
耶稣针对发誓的教导
33 “你们一定听说过我们的祖先受到的告诫∶‘不要违背誓言,必须恪守对主的誓言。’ [f] 34 我告诉你们,不要发誓。不要指天发誓,因为天是上帝的宝座; 35 不要指地发誓,因为地是上帝的脚凳;不要对耶路撒冷发誓,因为耶路撒冷是上帝的城市; 36 也不要用你的脑袋发誓,因为你无力使一根头发变白或变黑。 37 ‘是’就说‘是’,‘不是’就说‘不是’,多余的话就出自魔鬼了。
耶稣针对报复的教导
38 你们听说过‘以眼还眼,以牙还牙’ [g]的说法吧? 39 我告诉你们,不要同恶人做对。如果有人打了你的右脸,你就把左脸伸过去让他打; 40 如果有人想去法院告你,还要抢走你的内衣,你就让他连外套一起拿去; 41 如果有人强迫你陪他走一里路,你就陪他走两里。 42 要给予对你有所求的人,不要拒绝向你借东西的人。
爱你们的敌人
43 “你们也听说过这样的话∶‘爱你的朋友,恨你的敌人。’ [h] 44 我告诉你们,要爱你们的敌人,要为迫害你们的人祈祷, 45 这样,你们就会做天父的孩子。父让太阳升起,照耀好人和坏人,还降雨给正直和邪恶的人。 46 如果你们只爱那些爱你们的人,那么,你们能得到什么奖赏呢?就连税吏也能做到这一点,不是吗? 47 如果你们只问候你们的兄弟姐妹,你们哪里比别人强呢?就连非教徒也会这么做,不是吗? 48 所以,你们必须像你们的天父那样尽善尽美。

Matthew 5
Lexham English Bible
The Sermon on the Mount: The Beatitudes
5 Now when he[a] saw the crowds, he went up the mountain and after he[b] sat down, his disciples approached him. 2 And opening his mouth he began to teach them, saying,
3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit,
because theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are the ones who mourn,
because they will be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek,
because they will inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are the ones who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
because they will be satisfied.
7 Blessed are the merciful,
because they will be shown mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart,
because they will see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers,
because they will be called sons of God.
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
because theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are you
when they insult you and persecute you and say all kinds of evil things against you, lying on account of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because your reward is great in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets before you.
The Sermon on the Mount: Salt and Light
13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if salt becomes tasteless, by what will it be made salty? It is good for nothing any longer except to be thrown outside and[c] trampled under foot by people. 14 You are the light of the world. A city located on top of a hill cannot be hidden, 15 nor do they light a lamp and place it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it shines on all those in the house. 16 In the same way let your light shine before people, so that they can see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
The Sermon on the Mount: The Law and the Prophets Fulfilled
17 “Do not think that I have come to destroy the law or the prophets. I have not come to destroy them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one tiny letter or one stroke of a letter will pass away from the law until all takes place. 19 Therefore whoever abolishes one of the least of these commandments and teaches people to do so will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever keeps them and teaches them, this person will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I say to you that unless your righteousness greatly surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter into the kingdom of heaven.
The Sermon on the Mount: Anger Toward Others
21 “You have heard that it was said to the people of old,[d] ‘Do not commit murder,’[e] and ‘whoever commits murder will be subject to judgment.’ 22 But I say to you that everyone who is angry at his brother will be subject to judgment, and whoever says to his brother, ‘Stupid fool!’[f] will be subject to the council, and whoever says, ‘Obstinate fool!’[g] will be subject to fiery hell. 23 Therefore if you present your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your gift there before the altar and first go be reconciled to your brother, and then come and[h] present your gift. 25 Settle the case quickly with your accuser[i] while you are with him on the way, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you be thrown into prison. 26 Truly I say to you, you will never come out of there until you have paid back the last penny!
The Sermon on the Mount: Adultery and Lust
27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’[j] 28 But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 And if your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it from you! For it is better for you that one of your members be destroyed than your whole body be thrown into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it from you! For it is better for you that one of your limbs be destroyed than your whole body go into hell.
The Sermon on the Mount: Divorce
31 “And it was said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’[k] 32 But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for a matter of sexual immorality, causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
The Sermon on the Mount: Taking Oaths
33 “Again you have heard that it was said to the people of old,[l] ‘Do not swear falsely,[m] but fulfill your oaths to the Lord.’[n] 34 But I say to you, do not swear at all, either by heaven, because it is the throne of God, 35 or by the earth, because it is the footstool of his feet, or by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great king. 36 And do not swear by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black. 37 But let your statement be ‘Yes, yes; no, no,’ and anything beyond these is from the evil one.[o]
The Sermon on the Mount: Retaliation
38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’[p] 39 But I say to you, do not resist the evildoer, but whoever strikes you on the right cheek,[q] turn the other to him also. 40 And the one who wants to go to court with you and take your tunic, let him have[r] your outer garment also. 41 And whoever forces you to go one mile,[s] go with him two. 42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.
The Sermon on the Mount: Love for Enemies
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor’[t] and ‘Hate your enemy.’[u] 44 But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 in order that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven, because he causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not the tax collectors also do the same? 47 And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing that is remarkable? Do not the Gentiles also do the same? 48 Therefore you be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect.
