Mateus 5
Nova Versão Transformadora
O Sermão do Monte
5 Certo dia, quando Jesus viu que as multidões se ajuntavam, subiu a encosta do monte e ali sentou-se. Seus discípulos se reuniram ao redor, 2 e ele começou a ensiná-los.
As bem-aventuranças
3 “Felizes os pobres de espírito,
pois o reino dos céus lhes pertence.
4 Felizes os que choram,
pois serão consolados.
5 Felizes os humildes,
pois herdarão a terra.
6 Felizes os que têm fome e sede de justiça,
pois serão saciados.
7 Felizes os misericordiosos,
pois serão tratados com misericórdia.
8 Felizes os que têm coração puro,
pois verão a Deus.
9 Felizes os que promovem a paz,
pois serão chamados filhos de Deus.
10 Felizes os perseguidos por causa da justiça,
pois o reino dos céus lhes pertence.
11 “Felizes são vocês quando, por minha causa, sofrerem zombaria e perseguição, e quando outros, mentindo, disserem todo tipo de maldade a seu respeito. 12 Alegrem-se e exultem, porque uma grande recompensa os espera no céu. E lembrem-se de que os antigos profetas foram perseguidos da mesma forma.”
Ensino sobre sal e luz
13 “Vocês são o sal da terra. Mas, se o sal perder o sabor, para que servirá? É possível torná-lo salgado outra vez? Será jogado fora e pisado pelos que passam, pois já não serve para nada.
14 “Vocês são a luz do mundo. É impossível esconder uma cidade construída no alto de um monte. 15 Não faz sentido acender uma lâmpada e depois colocá-la sob um cesto. Pelo contrário, ela é colocada num pedestal, de onde ilumina todos que estão na casa. 16 Da mesma forma, suas boas obras devem brilhar, para que todos as vejam e louvem seu Pai, que está no céu.”
Ensino sobre a Lei
17 “Não pensem que eu vim abolir a lei de Moisés ou os escritos dos profetas; vim cumpri-los. 18 Eu lhes digo a verdade: enquanto o céu e a terra existirem, nem a menor letra ou o menor traço da lei desaparecerá até que todas as coisas se cumpram. 19 Portanto, quem desobedecer até ao menor mandamento, e ensinar outros a fazer o mesmo, será considerado o menor no reino dos céus. Mas aquele que obedecer à lei de Deus e ensiná-la será considerado grande no reino dos céus.
20 “Eu os advirto: a menos que sua justiça supere muito a justiça dos mestres da lei e dos fariseus, vocês jamais entrarão no reino dos céus.”
Ensino sobre a ira
21 “Vocês ouviram o que foi dito a seus antepassados: ‘Não mate. Se cometer homicídio, estará sujeito a julgamento’.[a] 22 Eu, porém, lhes digo que basta irar-se contra alguém[b] para estar sujeito a julgamento. Quem xingar alguém de estúpido,[c] corre o risco de ser levado ao tribunal. Quem chamar alguém de louco, corre o risco de ir para o inferno de fogo.[d]
23 “Portanto, se você estiver apresentando uma oferta no altar do templo e se lembrar de que alguém tem algo contra você, 24 deixe sua oferta ali no altar. Vá, reconcilie-se com a pessoa e então volte e apresente sua oferta.
25 “Quando você e seu adversário estiverem a caminho do tribunal, acertem logo suas diferenças. Do contrário, pode ser que o acusador o entregue ao juiz, e o juiz, a um oficial, e você seja lançado na prisão. 26 Eu lhe digo a verdade: você não será solto enquanto não tiver pago até o último centavo.”[e]
Ensino sobre o adultério
27 “Vocês ouviram o que foi dito: ‘Não cometa adultério’.[f] 28 Eu, porém, lhes digo que quem olhar para uma mulher com cobiça já cometeu adultério com ela em seu coração. 29 Se o olho direito o leva a pecar, arranque-o e jogue-o fora. É melhor perder uma parte do corpo que ser todo ele lançado no inferno.[g] 30 E, se a mão direita o leva a pecar, corte-a e jogue-a fora. É melhor perder uma parte do corpo que ser todo ele lançado no inferno.”
Ensino sobre o divórcio
31 “Também foi dito: ‘Quem se divorciar da esposa deverá conceder-lhe um certificado de divórcio’.[h] 32 Eu, porém, lhes digo que quem se divorcia da esposa, exceto por imoralidade, a faz cometer adultério. E quem se casa com uma mulher divorciada também comete adultério.”
Ensino sobre juramentos e votos
33 “Vocês também ouviram o que foi dito a seus antepassados: ‘Não quebre seus juramentos; cumpra os juramentos que fizer ao Senhor’.[i] 34 Eu, porém, lhes digo que não façam juramento algum. Não digam: ‘Juro pelo céu’, pois o céu é o trono de Deus. 35 Também não digam: ‘Juro pela terra’, pois a terra é onde ele descansa os pés. E não digam: ‘Juro por Jerusalém’, pois Jerusalém é a cidade do grande Rei. 36 Nem sequer digam: ‘Juro pela minha cabeça’, pois vocês não podem tornar branco ou preto um fio de cabelo sequer. 37 Quando disserem ‘sim’, seja de fato sim. Quando disserem ‘não’, seja de fato não. Qualquer coisa além disso vem do maligno.”
Ensino sobre a vingança
38 “Vocês ouviram o que foi dito: ‘Olho por olho, dente por dente’.[j] 39 Eu, porém, lhes digo que não se oponham ao perverso. Se alguém lhe der um tapa na face direita, ofereça também a outra. 40 Se você for processado no tribunal e lhe tomarem a roupa do corpo, deixe que levem também a capa. 41 Se alguém o forçar a caminhar uma milha com ele, caminhe duas. 42 Dê a quem pedir e não volte as costas a quem quiser tomar emprestado de você.”
Ensino sobre o amor pelos inimigos
43 “Vocês ouviram o que foi dito: ‘Ame o seu próximo’[k] e odeie o seu inimigo. 44 Eu, porém, lhes digo: amem os seus inimigos[l] e orem por quem os persegue. 45 Desse modo, vocês agirão como verdadeiros filhos de seu Pai, que está no céu. Pois ele dá a luz do sol tanto a maus como a bons e faz chover tanto sobre justos como injustos. 46 Se amarem apenas aqueles que os amam, que recompensa receberão? Até os cobradores de impostos fazem o mesmo. 47 Se cumprimentarem apenas seus amigos,[m] que estarão fazendo de mais? Até os gentios fazem isso. 48 Portanto, sejam perfeitos, como perfeito é seu Pai celestial.”

Matthew 5
King James Version
5 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto 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 they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
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 the children of God.
10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
21 Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
33 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.
41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

American Standard Version
5 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain: and when he had sat down, his disciples came unto 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 [a]Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
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 they that have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye when men shall reproach you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets that were before you.
13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under foot of men. 14 Ye are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the stand; and it shineth unto all that are in the house. 16 Even so let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
17 Think not that I came to destroy the law or the prophets: I came not to destroy, but to fulfil. 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass away from the law, till all things be accomplished. 19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I say unto you, that except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven.
21 Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, [b]Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: 22 but I say unto you, that every one who is angry with his brother [c]shall be in danger of the judgment; and whosoever shall say to his brother, [d]Raca, shall be in danger of the council; and whosoever shall say, [e]Thou fool, shall be in danger [f]of the [g]hell of fire. 23 If therefore thou art offering thy gift at the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath aught against thee, 24 leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way, first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. 25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, while thou art with him in the way; lest haply the adversary [h]deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. 26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou have paid the last farthing.
27 Ye have heard that it was said, [i]Thou shalt not commit adultery: 28 but I say unto you, that every one that looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. 29 And if thy right eye causeth thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not thy whole body be cast into [j]hell. 30 And if thy right hand causeth thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not thy whole body go into [k]hell. 31 It was said also, [l]Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: 32 but I say unto you, that every one that putteth away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, maketh her an adulteress: and whosoever shall marry her when she is put away committeth adultery.
33 Again, ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, [m]Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: 34 but I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by the heaven, for it is the throne of God; 35 nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor [n]by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. 36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, for thou canst not make one hair white or black. 37 [o]But let your speech be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: and whatsoever is more than these is of [p]the evil one.
38 Ye have heard that it was said, An [q]eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: 39 but I say unto you, Resist not [r]him that is evil: but whosoever smiteth thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 And if any man would go to law with thee, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. 41 And whosoever shall [s]compel thee to go one mile, go with him two. 42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
43 Ye have heard that it was said, [t]Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy: 44 but I say unto you, Love your enemies, and pray for them that persecute you; 45 that ye may be sons of your Father who is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sendeth rain on the just and the unjust. 46 For if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? do not even the [u]publicans the same? 47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the Gentiles the same? 48 Ye therefore shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
