Матей 5
Библия, ревизирано издание
ПРОПОВЕДТА НА ПЛАНИНАТА
Блаженствата
5 (A)А Исус, като видя множествата, изкачи се на хълма; и когато седна, учениците Му дойдоха при Него.
2 И като отвори устата Си, поучаваше ги, като казваше:
3 (B)Блажени бедните[a] по дух, защото е тяхно небесното царство.
4 (C)Блажени скърбящите, защото те ще се утешат.
5 (D)Блажени кротките, защото те ще наследят земята.
6 (E)Блажени, които гладуват и жадуват за правдата, защото те ще се наситят.
7 (F)Блажени милостивите, защото на тях ще се показва милост.
8 (G)Блажени чистите по сърце, защото те ще видят Бога.
9 Блажени миротворците, защото те ще се нарекат Божии синове.
10 (H)Блажени гонените заради правдата, защото е тяхно небесното царство.
11 (I)Блажени сте, когато ви хулят и ви гонят, и говорят против вас лъжливо всякакво зло заради Мене;
12 (J)радвайте се и се веселете, защото голяма е наградата ви на небесата, понеже така гониха пророците, които бяха преди вас.
Сол и светлина за света
13 (K)Вие сте солта на земята. Но ако солта обезсолее, с какво ще се осоли? Тя вече за нищо не става, освен да се изхвърли навън и да се тъпче от хората.
14 (L)Вие сте светлината на света. Град, поставен на хълм, не може да се укрие.
15 (M)И когато запалят светило, не го слагат под шиника, а на светилника и то свети на всички, които са в къщи.
16 (N)Също така нека свети вашата светлина пред човеците, за да виждат добрите ви дела и да прославят вашия Отец, Който е на небесата.
Исус Христос и законът
17 (O)Да не мислите, че съм дошъл да разруша закона или пророците? Не съм дошъл да разруша, но да изпълня.
18 (P)Защото истина ви казвам: Докато премине небето и земята, нито една йота[b], нито една чертица от закона няма да премине, докато всичко не се сбъдне.
19 (Q)И така, който наруши една от тези най-малки заповеди и научи така човеците, най-малък ще се нарече в небесното царство; а който ги изпълни и научи така човеците, той ще се нарече велик в небесното царство.
20 (R)Защото ви казвам, че ако вашата праведност не надмине праведността на книжниците и фарисеите, няма да влезете в небесното царство.
21 (S)Чули сте, че е било казано на древните: „Не убивай; и който убие, ще бъде виновен пред съда.“
22 (T)А пък Аз ви казвам, че всеки, който се гневи на брат си без причина, ще бъде виновен пред съда; и който каже на брат си „празноглавецо“[c], ще бъде виновен пред Синедриона; а който му каже: „бунтовни безумецо“, ще бъде виновен за огнения пъкъл.
23 (U)И така, като принасяш дара си на олтара, ако там си спомниш, че брат ти има нещо против теб,
24 (V)остави дара си там, пред олтара, и първо иди и се помири с брат си, и тогава ела, и принеси дара си.
25 (W)Бързай да се сдобриш с противника си, докато си на пътя с него към съдилището, да не би противникът ти да те предаде на съдията, а съдията да те предаде на служителя и да бъдеш хвърлен в тъмница.
26 Истина ти казвам: Няма да излезеш оттам, докато не изплатиш и последния кодрант.
27 (X)Чули сте, че е било казано: „Не прелюбодействай.“
28 (Y)Но Аз ви казвам, че всеки, който гледа жена, за да я пожелае, вече е прелюбодействал с нея в сърцето си.
29 (Z)Ако дясното ти око те съблазнява, извади го и го хвърли; защото по-добре е за тебе да погине една от телесните ти части, а не цялото ти тяло да бъде хвърлено в пъкъла.
30 И ако дясната ти ръка те съблазнява, отсечи я и я хвърли; защото по-добре е за тебе да погине една от телесните ти части, а не цялото ти тяло да отиде в пъкъла.
31 (AA)Още е било казано: „Който напусне жена си, нека даде разводно писмо.“
32 (AB)А пък Аз ви казвам, че всеки, който напусне жена си, освен по причина на прелюбодейство, прави я да прелюбодейства; и който се ожени за нея, когато бъде напусната, той прелюбодейства.
33 (AC)Чули сте още, че е било казано на древните: „Не нарушавай клетвата си, но изпълнявай клетвите си пред Господа.“
34 (AD)Но Аз ви казвам: Изобщо да не се кълнете; нито в небето, защото то е престол на Бога;
35 (AE)нито в земята, защото е Негово подножие; нито в Йерусалим, защото е град на великия Цар.
36 Нито в главата си да се кълнеш, защото не можеш да направиш нито един косъм бял или черен.
37 (AF)Но говорът ви да бъде: Да, да! Не, не! А каквото е повече от това, е от лукавия.
38 (AG)Чули сте, че е било казано: „Око за око, зъб за зъб.“
39 (AH)А пък Аз ви казвам: Не се противете на злия човек; но ако те удари някой по дясната буза, обърни му и другата.
40 На този, който би поискал да се съди с теб и да ти вземе ризата, остави му и горната си дреха.
41 (AI)Който те принуди да вървиш с него една миля, иди с него две.
42 (AJ)Дай на този, който проси от теб; и не се отвръщай от онзи, който ти иска на заем.
43 (AK)Чули сте, че е било казано: „Обичай ближния си, а мрази неприятеля си.“
44 (AL)Но Аз ви казвам: Обичайте неприятелите си и се молете за онези, които ви гонят,
45 (AM)за да бъдете синове на вашия Отец, Който е на небесата; защото Той прави слънцето Си да изгрява и над злите, и над добрите и дава дъжд на праведните и на неправедните.
46 (AN)Защото ако обичате само онези, които обичат вас, каква награда ви се пада? Не правят ли това и бирниците?
47 И ако поздравявате само братята си, какво особено правите? Не правят ли това и езичниците?
48 (AO)И така, бъдете съвършени и вие, както е съвършен вашият небесен Отец.
Matthew 5
Expanded Bible
Jesus Teaches the People(A)
5 When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on ·a hill [the mountain] and sat down. His ·followers [disciples] ·came to [gathered around] him, 2 and he began to teach them, saying:
3 “·They are blessed [or Blessed are those…; C and so through v. 10] who ·realize their spiritual poverty [L are the poor in spirit],
for the kingdom of heaven ·belongs to them [is theirs].
4 They are blessed who ·grieve [mourn],
for ·God will comfort them [L they will be comforted; C the passive verb implies God as subject].
5 They are blessed who are ·humble [meek; gentle],
for ·the whole earth will be theirs [L they shall inherit the earth; Ps. 37:11].
6 They are blessed who hunger and thirst after ·justice [righteousness],
for they will be ·satisfied [filled].
7 They are blessed who show mercy to others,
for ·God will show mercy to them [L they will be shown mercy; C the passive verb implies God as subject].
8 They are blessed ·whose thoughts are pure [or whose hearts are pure; T the pure in heart],
for they will see God.
9 They are blessed who work for peace [T Blessed are the peacemakers],
for they will be called God’s ·children [or sons].
10 They are blessed who are persecuted for ·doing good [doing what’s right; L the sake of righteousness],
for the kingdom of heaven ·belongs to them [is theirs].
11 “·You are blessed [T Blessed are you; or God will bless you] when people ·insult [mock; abuse; revile] you and ·hurt [persecute] you. They will lie and say all kinds of evil things ·about [against] you because ·you follow [L of] me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because you have a great reward in heaven. ·People did the same evil things to [L They likewise persecuted] the prophets who lived before you.
You Are Like Salt and Light(B)
13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt ·loses its salty taste [becomes tasteless], ·it cannot [L how can it…?] be made salty again. It is good for nothing, except to be thrown out and ·walked on [trampled].
14 “You are the light ·that gives light to [for; L of] the world. A city that ·is built [stands; is set] on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 And people don’t light a lamp and then hide it under a ·bowl [or basket]. They put it on a lampstand so the light shines for all the people in the house. 16 In the same way let your light shine ·before others [for people to see], so that they will see ·the good things you do [L your good deeds/works] and will ·praise [glorify; give honor to] your Father in heaven.
The Importance of the Law and the Prophets(C)
17 “Don’t think that I have come to ·destroy [abolish; do away with] ·the law of Moses or the teaching of the prophets [L the Law and the Prophets; C referring to the OT]. I have not come to destroy them but to ·bring about what they said [fulfill/complete them]. 18 I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth ·are gone [pass away; disappear], not even ·the smallest letter [T one jot; L one iota; C the smallest Greek letter] or the smallest ·part [stroke; T tittle] of a letter will ·be lost [pass away; disappear] until everything ·has happened [is accomplished/achieved]. 19 [L Therefore] Whoever ·refuses to obey [ignores; breaks; annuls] ·any command [L one of the least of these commands] and teaches other people ·not to obey that command [L to do likewise] will be ·the least important [L called/considered least] in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever ·obeys [keeps; practices] the commands and teaches other people to obey them will be [considered; L called] great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 [L For] I tell you that ·if you are no more obedient than [L unless your righteousness surpasses/exceeds that of] the ·teachers of the law [scribes] and the Pharisees, you will ·never [or certainly not] enter the kingdom of heaven.
Jesus Teaches About Anger(D)
21 “You have heard that it was said to ·our people long ago [our ancestors; the ancients], ‘You ·must [L shall] not murder [Ex. 20:13; Deut. 5:17]. Anyone who murders another will be ·judged [subject to judgment].’ 22 But I tell you, ·if you are [L everyone who is] angry with a brother or sister,[a] you will be ·judged [subject to judgment]. ·If you say [L Whoever says] ·bad things [“Fool!”; L Raca; C an Aramaic term of derision] to a brother or sister, you will be ·judged [subject/liable to judgment] by the ·council [Sanhedrin]. And if you call someone a ·fool [idiot; moron], you will be in danger of the fire of ·hell [L Gehenna; C a valley outside of Jerusalem where in the OT period children were sacrificed to a pagan god; later used as a burning trash heap; a metaphor for hell].
23 “So when you ·offer your gift to God [present your offering/sacrifice] at the altar, and you remember that your brother or sister has something against you, 24 leave your ·gift [offering; sacrifice] there at the altar. Go and ·make peace [be reconciled] with that person [L first], and then come and ·offer your gift [present your offering/sacrifice].
25 “If your ·enemy [opponent; adversary; accuser] is taking you to court, ·become friends [reach agreement; settle matters] quickly, ·before you go [on the way] to court. Otherwise, your ·enemy [opponent; adversary; accuser] might turn you over to the judge, and the judge might give you to the ·guard [officer; warden] to ·put [throw] you in ·jail [prison]. 26 I tell you the truth, you will ·not [never; certainly not] leave there until you have paid ·everything you owe [the last penny; C Greek: the last quadrans; a small copper coin of very low value].
Jesus Teaches About Sexual Sin(E)
27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You ·must [shall] not ·be guilty of [commit] adultery [Ex. 20:14; Deut. 5:18].’ 28 But I tell you that if anyone looks at a woman ·and wants to sin sexually with her [lustfully; L with a desire for her], in his ·mind [heart] he has already ·done that sin [committed adultery] with her. 29 If your right eye causes you to ·sin [L stumble], ·take [tear; gouge] it out and throw it away. [L For] It is better to lose one part of your body than to have your whole body thrown into ·hell [L Gehenna; v. 22]. 30 If your right hand causes you to ·sin [L stumble], cut it off and throw it away. It is better to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into ·hell [L Gehenna; v. 22].
Jesus Teaches About Divorce(F)
31 “It was also said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a written divorce ·paper [notice; certificate; Deut. 24:1].’ 32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife ·forces [causes; makes] her ·to be guilty of [commit] adultery. ·The only reason for a man to divorce his wife is if she has sexual relations with another man [L …except in the case of sexual immorality]. And anyone who marries that divorced woman ·is guilty of [commits] adultery.
Make Promises Carefully
33 “[L Again] You have heard that it was said to ·our people long ago [our ancestors; the ancients], ‘Don’t break your ·promises [vows; oaths], but ·keep [fulfill] the ·promises [vows; oaths] you make to the Lord [Lev. 19:12; Num. 30:2; Deut. 23:21].’ 34 But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all. ·Don’t swear an oath using the name of heaven [L …neither by heaven], because heaven is God’s throne. 35 ·Don’t swear an oath using the name of the earth [L …nor by earth], because the earth ·belongs to God [L is his footstool; Is. 66:1]. ·Don’t swear an oath using the name of Jerusalem […nor by Jerusalem], because it is the city of the great King [Ps. 48:2]. 36 Don’t even swear by your own head, because you cannot make one hair on your head become white or black. 37 ·Say only yes if you mean yes, and no if you mean no [L Let your word “yes” be “yes”; your “no” be “no”]. ·If you say more than yes or no, it [L Anything more than this] is from the Evil One.
Don’t Retaliate(G)
38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth [Ex. 21:24; Lev. 24:20; Deut. 19:21].’ 39 But I tell you, don’t ·stand up against [resist; retaliate against] an evil person. If someone ·slaps [strikes] you on the right cheek [C either an insult or an act of violence], turn to him the other cheek also. 40 If someone wants to sue you in court and take your ·shirt [tunic], let him have your coat also. 41 If someone forces you to go with him one mile, go with him two miles [C alluding to the practice of impressment, whereby a Roman soldier could command a civilian to carry his gear for a mile]. 42 If a person asks you for something, give it to him. Don’t ·refuse to give to [L turn away from] someone who wants to borrow from you.
Love All People(H)
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy [Lev. 19:18].’ 44 But I say to you, love your enemies. Pray for those who ·hurt [persecute] you.[b] 45 ·If you do this, […so that] you will be ·true children [L children; or sons] of your Father in heaven. [L For] He causes ·the [L his] sun to rise on evil people and on good people, and he sends rain ·to those who do right and to those who do wrong [L on the just/righteous and the unjust/unrighteous]. 46 [L For] If you love only the people who love you, ·you will get no reward [what reward is there for that?]. ·Even [L Don’t even…?] the tax collectors do that. 47 And if you ·are nice only to your friends [L greet only your brothers; C probably meaning fellow Jews], ·you are no better than other people [L what more are you doing (than others)?]. Even ·those who don’t know God [the Gentiles; pagans] ·are nice to their friends [L do the same]. 48 ·So [Therefore] you must be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

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.
