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

The Sermon on the Mount
5 Jesus saw the crowds and went up a hill, where he sat down. His disciples gathered around him, 2 and he began to teach them:
True Happiness(A)
3 “Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor;
the Kingdom of heaven belongs to them!
4 (B)“Happy are those who mourn;
God will comfort them!
5 (C)“Happy are those who are humble;
they will receive what God has promised!
6 (D)“Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires;
God will satisfy them fully!
7 “Happy are those who are merciful to others;
God will be merciful to them!
8 (E)“Happy are the pure in heart;
they will see God!
9 “Happy are those who work for peace;
God will call them his children!
10 (F)“Happy are those who are persecuted because they do what God requires;
the Kingdom of heaven belongs to them!
11 (G)“Happy are you when people insult you and persecute you and tell all kinds of evil lies against you because you are my followers. 12 (H)Be happy and glad, for a great reward is kept for you in heaven. This is how the prophets who lived before you were persecuted.
Salt and Light(I)
13 (J)“You are like salt for the whole human race. But if salt loses its saltiness, there is no way to make it salty again. It has become worthless, so it is thrown out and people trample on it.
14 (K)“You are like light for the whole world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid. 15 (L)No one lights a lamp and puts it under a bowl; instead it is put on the lampstand, where it gives light for everyone in the house. 16 (M)In the same way your light must shine before people, so that they will see the good things you do and praise your Father in heaven.
Teaching about the Law
17 “Do not think that I have come to do away with the Law of Moses and the teachings of the prophets. I have not come to do away with them, but to make their teachings come true. 18 (N)Remember that as long as heaven and earth last, not the least point nor the smallest detail of the Law will be done away with—not until the end of all things.[a] 19 So then, whoever disobeys even the least important of the commandments and teaches others to do the same, will be least in the Kingdom of heaven. On the other hand, whoever obeys the Law and teaches others to do the same, will be great in the Kingdom of heaven. 20 I tell you, then, that you will be able to enter the Kingdom of heaven only if you are more faithful than the teachers of the Law and the Pharisees in doing what God requires.
Teaching about Anger
21 (O)“You have heard that people were told in the past, ‘Do not commit murder; anyone who does will be brought to trial.’ 22 But now I tell you: if you are angry[b] with your brother you will be brought to trial, if you call your brother ‘You good-for-nothing!’ you will be brought before the Council, and if you call your brother a worthless fool you will be in danger of going to the fire of hell. 23 So if you are about to offer your gift to God at the altar and there you remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your gift there in front of the altar, go at once and make peace with your brother, and then come back and offer your gift to God.
25 “If someone brings a lawsuit against you and takes you to court, settle the dispute while there is time, before you get to court. Once you are there, you will be turned over to the judge, who will hand you over to the police, and you will be put in jail. 26 There you will stay, I tell you, until you pay the last penny of your fine.
Teaching about Adultery
27 (P)“You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’ 28 But now I tell you: anyone who looks at a woman and wants to possess her is guilty of committing adultery with her in his heart. 29 (Q)So if your right eye causes you to sin, take it out and throw it away! It is much better for you to lose a part of your body than to have your whole body thrown into hell. 30 (R)If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away! It is much better for you to lose one of your limbs than to have your whole body go off to hell.
Teaching about Divorce(S)
31 (T)“It was also said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a written notice of divorce.’ 32 (U)But now I tell you: if a man divorces his wife for any cause other than her unfaithfulness, then he is guilty of making her commit adultery if she marries again; and the man who marries her commits adultery also.
Teaching about Vows
33 (V)“You have also heard that people were told in the past, ‘Do not break your promise, but do what you have vowed to the Lord to do.’ 34 (W)But now I tell you: do not use any vow when you make a promise. Do not swear by heaven, for it is God's throne; 35 (X)nor by earth, for it is the resting place for his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. 36 Do not even swear by your head, because you cannot make a single hair white or black. 37 Just say ‘Yes’ or ‘No’—anything else you say comes from the Evil One.
Teaching about Revenge(Y)
38 (Z)“You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’ 39 But now I tell you: do not take revenge on someone who wrongs you. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, let him slap your left cheek too. 40 And if someone takes you to court to sue you for your shirt, let him have your coat as well. 41 And if one of the occupation troops forces you to carry his pack one mile, carry it two miles. 42 When someone asks you for something, give it to him; when someone wants to borrow something, lend it to him.
Love for Enemies(AA)
43 (AB)“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your friends, hate your enemies.’ 44 But now I tell you: love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 (AC)so that you may become the children of your Father in heaven. For he makes his sun to shine on bad and good people alike, and gives rain to those who do good and to those who do evil. 46 Why should God reward you if you love only the people who love you? Even the tax collectors do that! 47 And if you speak only to your friends, have you done anything out of the ordinary? Even the pagans do that! 48 (AD)You must be perfect—just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
