Mateus 5
Portuguese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
Jesus ensina a multidão
(Lc 6.20-23)
5 Quando Jesus viu a grande multidão, subiu para o alto de um monte e se sentou. Os seus discípulos se aproximaram 2 e ele começou a ensiná-los, dizendo:
3 —Felizes são os que reconhecem que precisam de Deus,
pois é esse tipo de pessoa que fará parte do reino de Deus.
4 —Felizes são os que choram,
pois Deus os consolará.
5 —Felizes são os humildes,
pois eles herdarão a terra que Deus prometeu.[a]
6 —Felizes são os que têm fome e sede de justiça,
pois Deus fará com que fiquem satisfeitos.
7 —Felizes são os que têm misericórdia dos outros,
pois Deus terá misericórdia deles.
8 —Felizes são os que têm coração puro,
pois verão a Deus.
9 —Felizes são os que promovem a paz,
pois Deus os chamará de “filhos”.
10 —Felizes são aqueles que são perseguidos por fazerem a vontade de Deus,
pois a eles pertence o reino de Deus.
11 —Felizes serão vocês quando forem insultados, perseguidos e receberem todo tipo de calúnias pelo fato de me seguirem. 12 Alegrem-se e fiquem realmente muito felizes, pois grande é a recompensa que receberão no céu. Foi desta mesma maneira que os profetas que viveram antes de vocês também foram perseguidos.
O sal e a luz
(Mc 9.50; 4.21; Lc 14.34-35; 8.16)
13 —Vocês são o sal da terra! Se o sal, porém, perder o seu sabor, não poderá voltar a ser salgado e não presta para mais nada. Só serve para ser jogado fora e pisado pelos que passam.
14 —Vocês são a luz do mundo! Uma cidade situada no alto de uma montanha não pode ser escondida. 15 Da mesma forma, ninguém acende um lampião para colocá-lo debaixo de uma bacia, mas sim para colocá-lo em cima de uma mesa, para que possa iluminar a todos os que estão na casa. 16 Que a luz de vocês brilhe diante das pessoas de tal forma que, ao verem o bom comportamento de vocês, elas deem glória ao Pai que está no céu.
Jesus ensina a respeito da lei
17 —Não pensem que eu vim para acabar com a lei de Moisés ou com o ensino dos profetas. Não vim acabar com eles, e sim dar o verdadeiro significado deles. 18 Digo a verdade a vocês: Enquanto o céu e a terra durarem, nem uma letra ou mesmo um único acento desaparecerá da lei até que todas as coisas aconteçam. 19 Portanto, quem desobedecer ao menor dos mandamentos e ensinar outras pessoas a fazerem o mesmo, será considerado o menor no reino de Deus. Por outro lado, quem obedecer aos mandamentos e ensiná-los a outras pessoas será considerado o maior no reino de Deus. 20 Digo a verdade a vocês: A não ser que superem os professores da lei e os fariseus em fazer o que Deus quer, jamais entrarão no reino de Deus.
Jesus ensina sobre o relacionamento entre as pessoas
21 —Vocês ouviram que aos nossos antepassados foi dito isto: “Não mate”(A) e “Quem matar alguém será levado a julgamento”. 22 Mas eu lhes digo: Qualquer um que ficar com raiva de uma outra pessoa será julgado. Qualquer que insultar uma outra pessoa será levado ao Conselho Superior. Quem chamar uma outra pessoa de “tolo” merece ser jogado no fogo do inferno.
23 —Portanto, se você for até o altar para dar a sua oferta e se lembrar ali de que alguém tem alguma coisa contra você, 24 deixe a sua oferta lá mesmo, diante do altar. Primeiro vá e faça as pazes com aquela pessoa; depois volte e dê a sua oferta.
25 —Entre em acordo sem demora com o seu adversário, enquanto você estiver a caminho com ele. Caso contrário, ele o entregará ao juiz, o juiz o entregará aos guardas e você será colocado na prisão. 26 Digo a verdade a você: Só sairá de lá após pagar tudo o que deve.
Jesus ensina sobre o adultério
27 —Vocês ouviram o que foi dito: “Não cometa adultério”.(B) 28 Eu, porém, lhes digo que todo aquele que olhar para uma mulher desejando possuí-la, já cometeu adultério em seu coração. 29 Portanto, se o seu olho direito faz com que você peque, arranque-o e jogue-o fora, pois é melhor que uma parte do seu corpo seja destruída do que todo o seu corpo ser jogado no inferno. 30 Da mesma forma, se a sua mão direita faz com que você peque, corte-a e jogue-a fora, pois é melhor que uma parte do seu corpo seja destruída do que todo o seu corpo ir para o inferno.
Jesus ensina sobre o divórcio
(Mt 19.9; Mc 10.11-12; Lc 16.18)
31 —E também foi dito: “Se alguém se separar de sua esposa deve dar-lhe uma certidão de divórcio”.(C) 32 Eu, porém, lhes digo que qualquer um que se divorciar de sua esposa sem que ela seja culpada de imoralidade sexual, estará fazendo com que ela cometa adultério. E quem se casar com ela também estará cometendo adultério.
Jesus ensina sobre os juramentos
33 —Vocês também ouviram o que foi dito aos nossos antepassados: “Não quebre um juramento, mas cumpra o que você jurou ao Senhor que ia fazer”.[b] 34 Eu, porém, lhes digo: Não jurem por nada. Não jurem pelo céu, pois é o trono de Deus; 35 nem pela terra, pois é onde Deus coloca os seus pés; nem por Jerusalém, pois é a cidade do grande Rei. 36 Não jurem nem por suas próprias cabeças, pois vocês não são capazes de fazer com que um só fio de cabelo se torne branco ou preto. 37 Se vocês quiserem dizer “sim”, digam somente “sim”; se vocês quiserem dizer “não”, digam somente “não”. O que passar disso vem do maligno.
Jesus ensina sobre a vingança
(Lc 6.29-30)
38 —Vocês também ouviram o seguinte: “Olho por olho e dente por dente”.(D) 39 Eu, porém, lhes digo: Não se oponha aos perversos. Mas, ao contrário, se alguém lhe bater na face direita, vire-lhe também a esquerda. 40 Se alguém quiser processar você a fim de tomar a sua capa, deixe que leve também a sua túnica. 41 Se alguém lhe obrigar a carregar uma carga por um quilômetro[c], leve-a por dois quilômetros. 42 Dê a quem lhe pedir alguma coisa e não vire as costas a quem lhe pedir emprestado.
Jesus ensina sobre o amor
(Lc 6.27-28,32-36)
43 —Vocês também ouviram que foi dito: “Ame o seu próximo(E) e odeie os seus inimigos”. 44 Eu, porém, lhes digo: Amem os seus inimigos e orem por aqueles que perseguem vocês. 45 Dessa forma o Pai de vocês que está no céu os considerará seus filhos. Ele faz com que o sol brilhe tanto para os bons como para os maus. Ele também manda a chuva tanto para os justos como para os injustos. 46 Se vocês amarem somente as pessoas que amam vocês, o que é que vocês ganham? Até mesmo os cobradores de impostos fazem isto! 47 E se cumprimentarem somente os vizinhos que são seus amigos, o que fazem de mais? Até mesmo os que não creem em Deus fazem isso. 48 Portanto, sejam perfeitos assim como o Pai de vocês, que está nos céus, também é perfeito.

New American Standard Bible
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 And (C)He opened His mouth and began to teach them, saying,
3 “[b](D)Blessed are the poor in spirit, for (E)theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 “Blessed are (F)those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
5 “Blessed are (G)the [c]gentle, for they will inherit the earth.
6 “Blessed are (H)those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.
7 “Blessed are (I)the merciful, for they will receive mercy.
8 “Blessed are (J)the pure in heart, for (K)they will see God.
9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for (L)they will 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 this same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Disciples and the World
13 “You are the salt of the earth; but (Q)if the salt has become tasteless, how [d]can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by people.
14 “You are (R)the light of the world. A city set on a [e]hill cannot be hidden; 15 (S)nor do people 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 Your light must shine before people in such a way that they may (T)see your good works, and (U)glorify your Father who is in heaven.
17 “Do not presume 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 of a letter shall pass from the Law, until all is accomplished! 19 Therefore, whoever nullifies 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 [i]keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 “For I say to you that unless your (Y)righteousness far surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.
Personal Relationships
21 “(Z)You have heard that [j]the ancients were told, ‘(AA)You shall not murder,’ and ‘Whoever commits murder shall be answerable to (AB)the court.’ 22 But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be answerable to (AC)the court; and whoever says to his brother, ‘[k]You good-for-nothing,’ shall be answerable to [l](AD)the supreme court; and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ shall be guilty enough to go into the [m](AE)fiery hell. 23 Therefore, if you are (AF)presenting your [n]offering at the altar, and there you remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your [o]offering there before the altar and go; first be (AG)reconciled to your brother, and then come and present your [p]offering. 25 [q](AH)Come to good terms with your accuser quickly, while you are with him on the way to court, so that your accuser will not hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you will not 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 [r]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)with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 Now (AM)if your right eye is causing you to sin, tear it out and throw it away from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, [s]than for your whole body to be thrown into [t](AN)hell. 30 And (AO)if your right hand is causing you to sin, cut it off and throw it away from you; for it is better for you [u]to lose one of the parts of your body, [v]than for your whole body to go into [w](AP)hell.
31 “Now it was said, ‘(AQ)Whoever sends his wife away is to give her a certificate of divorce’; 32 (AR)but I say to you that everyone who [x]divorces his wife, except for the reason of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery; and whoever marries a [y]divorced woman commits adultery.
33 “Again, (AS)you have heard that [z]the ancients were told, ‘[aa](AT)You shall not [ab]make false vows, but shall fulfill your [ac]vows to the Lord.’ 34 But I say to you, (AU)take no oath at all, neither by heaven, for it is (AV)the throne of God, 35 nor by the earth, for it is the (AW)footstool of His feet, nor [ad]by Jerusalem, for it is (AX)the city of the great King. 36 Nor shall you take an oath by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black. 37 But make sure your statement is, ‘[ae]Yes, yes’ or ‘No, no’; anything beyond these is [af]of (AY)evil origin.
38 “(AZ)You have heard that it was said, ‘(BA)Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ 39 But I say to you, do not show opposition against an evil person; but (BB)whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other toward him also. 40 And if anyone wants to sue you and take your [ag]tunic, let him have your [ah]cloak also. 41 Whoever [ai]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 prove yourselves to 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? Even the tax collectors, do they not do the same? 47 And if you greet only your brothers and sisters, what more are you doing than others? Even the Gentiles, do they not do the same? 48 Therefore (BJ)you shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

New International Version
Introduction to the Sermon on the Mount
5 Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, 2 and he began to teach them.
The Beatitudes(A)
He said:
3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.(B)
4 Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.(C)
5 Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.(D)
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.(E)
7 Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.(F)
8 Blessed are the pure in heart,(G)
for they will see God.(H)
9 Blessed are the peacemakers,(I)
for they will be called children of God.(J)
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,(K)
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.(L)
11 “Blessed are you when people insult you,(M) persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.(N) 12 Rejoice and be glad,(O) because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.(P)
Salt and Light
13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.(Q)
14 “You are the light of the world.(R) A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.(S) 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others,(T) that they may see your good deeds(U) and glorify(V) your Father in heaven.
The Fulfillment of the Law
17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.(W) 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.(X) 19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands(Y) and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.(Z)
Murder(AA)
21 “You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder,[a](AB) and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’ 22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry(AC) with a brother or sister[b][c] will be subject to judgment.(AD) Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, ‘Raca,’[d] is answerable to the court.(AE) And anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell.(AF)
23 “Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, 24 leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift.
25 “Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still together on the way, or your adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. 26 Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.
Adultery
27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’[e](AG) 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.(AH) 29 If your right eye causes you to stumble,(AI) gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to stumble,(AJ) cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.
Divorce
31 “It has been said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’[f](AK) 32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.(AL)
Oaths
33 “Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath,(AM) but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.’(AN) 34 But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all:(AO) either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;(AP) 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King.(AQ) 36 And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. 37 All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’;(AR) anything beyond this comes from the evil one.[g](AS)
Eye for Eye
38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’[h](AT) 39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.(AU) 40 And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. 41 If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. 42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.(AV)
Love for Enemies
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor[i](AW) and hate your enemy.’(AX) 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,(AY) 45 that you may be children(AZ) of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.(BA) 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get?(BB) Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.(BC)
