Matthew 5 (CTH)

1Hote tamihupui hah a hmu navah Bawipa teh mon lah a luen. A tahung navah, a hnukkâbangnaw ni rek a hnai awh.When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain and sat down. His disciples came to Him,

2Hahoi, a kâko a ang teh a hnukkâbangnaw a cangkhai.and He began to teach them, saying:

3Muitha koe lah ka mathoe e taminaw teh, a yawhawi awh, bangkongtetpawiteh, kalvan uknaeram teh ahnimae doeh.“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4Ka khuikap e taminaw teh, a yawhawi awh, bangkongtetpawiteh, lungpahawi e lah ao awh han.Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

5A lung ka do, a lung ka nem e taminaw teh, a yawhawi awh, bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut ni a kam pouh e ram a coe awh han.Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

6Lannae hah a von lah ka hlam e taminaw teh, a yawhawi awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut ni a lungngai akuep sak han.Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

7Tami kapahrennaw teh, a yawhawi awh, bangkongtetpawiteh, pahren lah ao van han.Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

8A lung kathounge taminaw teh a yawhawi, bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut a hmu awh han.Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

9Roumnae ka sak e taminaw teh a yawhawi awh, bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut e canaw telah kaw lah ao awh han.Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.

10Lannae kecu dawk rektap lah kaawm e taminaw teh a yawhawi awh, bangkongtetpawiteh, kalvan uknaeram teh ahnimae lah ao.Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11Kai kecu dawk tami pueng ni yon na pen awh teh na rektap awh navah, a yawkahawi e lah na o awh.Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.

12Na konawm awh. Puenghoi na lunghawi awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kalvan vah nangmae tawkphu kalenpoung ao. Hettelah doeh nangmouh hoehnahlan profetnaw hai a pacekpahlek awh.Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets before you.

13Nangmouh teh talai e palawi lah na o awh. Palawi tie teh, a paannae kahmat pawiteh, a paannae hah bangtelah hoi maw bout hmu thai han toung. Tâkhawng hoi coungroe hane hloilah, banghai cungkeinae awm hoeh toe.You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its savor, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.

14Nangmouh teh talaivan e angnae lah na o awh. Monsom kaawm e khopui teh bang ni hai ngue thai hoeh.You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.

15Hmai paang e hah apinihai tangthung hoi ramuk boihoeh. Im thung angnae a poe thai nahanelah, hmaiimkhok dawk doeh ouk pâhung awh.Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket. Instead, they set it on a stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.

16Hot patetvanlah, nangmae angnae teh tami mithmu vah ang naseh. Ahnimouh ni nange hnokahawi na sak e hmawt awh vaiteh kalvan kaawm e nangmae na Pa teh a pholen awh han.In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

17Kâlawk hoi Profet lawknaw raphoe hanelah kai teh ka tho telah pouk awh hanh. Raphoe hanelah ka tho hoeh, kuep sak hanelah doeh ka tho.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.

18Atangcalah na dei pouh awh. Kalvan hoi talai a rawk hoehroukrak, kâlawk dawk e dekhrei e hoi calung buet touh boehai kuep laipalah awm mahoeh.For I tell you truly, until heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.

19Hatdawkvah, apipatet ni hai hete kâpoelawknaw dawk kathoengcae buet touh boehai a tapoe teh, hot patetvanlah, ayânaw hai cangkhai pawiteh, kalvan uknaeram thungvah kathoengcae lah ao han. Hatei, apipatet ni hai kâpoelawknaw hah a tarawi teh, hot patetvanlah, ayânaw hai cangkhai pawiteh, kalvan uknaeram thungvah ahni teh kalen lah ao han.So then, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do likewise will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever practices and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

20Nangmouh koe na dei pouh awh. Nangmae lannae teh Farasinaw hoi cakathutkungnaw e lannae hah tapuet hoehpawiteh, kalvan uknaeram thung na kâen a mahoeh.For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

21Tami thet hanh. Apihai tami ka thet e teh, lawkcengnae a khang hanlah a kamcu tie kâlawk karuem teh na thai awh toe.You have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not murder’ and ‘Anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’

22Kaie kâlawk teh, apipatet hai a hmaunawngha koe a lung ka khuek e teh, sanhedrin lawkcengnae taki ka tho a khang han. Apipatethai a hmaunawngha kaisue sin e teh lawk tâtuengnae koevah a pha han. Apipatethai a hmaunawngha thoe ka bo e teh, Hell hmai dawkvah hmaikaknae a khang hanlah a kamcu.But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, ‘Raca,’ will be subject to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be subject to the fire of hell.

23Hatdawkvah, bawk nahanelah hnopai na sin navah, na hmaunawngha ni na toun tie na panuek pawiteh, thuengnae khoungroe hmalah, na hnopai hah tat nateh,So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you,

24na hmaunawngha hoi hmaloe kâmaihawi ei, hahoi torei na hnopai hah thuengnae bout sak.leave your gift there before the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.

25Na ka toe e hoi lam reirei na cei roi lahun nah, hnâbonae hah karanglah sak leih. Hoehpawiteh, na ka toe e ni lawkcengkung koe na thak vaiteh, lawkcengkung ni karingkungnaw koe na poe vaiteh, nang teh thongim thung paung lah na o han toe.Reconcile quickly with your adversary, while you are still on the way to court. Otherwise, he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison.

26Atangcalah na dei pouh: na laiba na patho hoehroukrak thongim hoi na tâcawt thai mahoeh.Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.

27Na uicuk mahoeh tie kâlawk karuem teh na thai awh toe.You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’

28Kaie kâlawk teh, uicuk ngainae lungthin hoi ayâ yu ka khen e tami teh, a lungthung vah hote napui coungkacoelah a yonkhai toe.But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

29Hatdawkvah, aranglae na mit ni na yon sak pawiteh, hote na mit hah cawngkhawi lawih. Na takbuem lahoi hell dawk na bo hlak teh, na tak dawk e puengcang buet touh a rawk e heh bet ahawihnawn.If your right eye causes you to sin, 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.

30Hot patetvanlah, aranglae na kut ni nakunghai na yon sak pawiteh, hote na kut hah tâtueng lawih. Na takbuem lah hell dawk na cei hlak teh, na tak dawk e puengcang buet touh a rawk e heh bet ahawihnawn.And if your right hand causes you to sin, 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 depart into hell.

31Apihai a yu mat ngai pawiteh, yu manae ca poe seh tie kâlawk karuem teh ao toe.It has also been said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’

32Kaie kâlawk teh: Apihaiyah uicuknae laipalah, a yu ka mat e teh, a yu hah a yon sak. Hot dueng laipalah, ma lah kaawm e napui hah ka lat e tami hai bout a yon sak.But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, brings adultery upon her. And he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

33Laithoe hoi thoebo hanh. Cathut koe thoe na kâbo e teh cak seh, tie kâlawk karuem teh na thai awh toe.Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.’

34Kaie kâlawk teh, thoebonae khoeroe sak awh hanh. Kalvan noe lahoi thoebo awh hanh, hotteh Cathut e bawitungkhung doeh.But I tell you not to swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;

35Talai noe lahoi thoebo awh hanh. Talai teh Cathut khok toungnae doeh. Jerusalem noe lahoi thoebo awh hanh. Jerusalem teh Siangpahrang e khopui doeh.or by the earth, for it is His footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

36Na lû noe lahoi thoebo hanh. Na samrui buet touh boehai na pangaw sak thai hoeh. Na tamang sak thai hoeh.Nor should you swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black.

37Na lawk hah ue pawiteh ue, nahoeh pawiteh nahoeh tie lah awm nah nei. Hethloi e lawk teh kahawihoehe doeh a tâcokhai.Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ Anything more comes from the evil one.

38Mit yueng lah mit, hâ yueng lah hâ tie kâlawk karuem teh na thai awh toe.You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.’

39Kaie kâlawk teh: na ka rek e hah cakâ awh hanh. Na hmaibei tambei awh pawiteh, avanglae rek patueng pouh awh.But I tell you not to resist an evil person. If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also;

40Na angki na lawm awh pawiteh, na kâkhu e hah rek poe sin awh.if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well;

41Na ka ukkungnaw ni meng touh na cet sak awh pawiteh, meng hni touh cet pouh awh.and if someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.

42Ka hete hah poe awh. Cawi han ka ngai e tami hah pâban hanh.Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

43Nama hoi kâkuen e tami hah nama patetlah lungpataw nateh, na taran hah hmuhma, tie kâlawk karuem teh na thai awh toe.You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor’ and ‘Hate your enemy.’

44Kaie kâlawk teh kalvan kho kaawm e nangmae Na pa e capa lah na o thai nahanlah na tarannaw hah lungpataw awh. Thoe na ka bo e naw hah lungpataw awh. Nangmouh na ka maithoe e hah hawinae sak pouh awh. Nangmouh ka tarawk ni teh na ka rektap e naw hanelah Cathut koe ratoum pouh awh.But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

45Bangkongtetpawiteh kalvan kho kaawm nangmae na Pa ni tamikahawi hoi tamikahawihoeh e lathueng vah kanî a tâco sak. Tamikahawi hoi tamikahawihoeh lathueng vah kho a rak sak.that you may be sons 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.

46Nangmouh lungpataw naw koe dueng na lungpataw awh pawiteh bangmaw tawkphu kaawm. Tamuk kacawngnaw ni patenghai yah hettelah ngoun teh a sak awh nahoehmaw.If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Do not even tax collectors do the same?

47Kawibang koe dueng khetyawtnae na sak pawiteh bangmaw bet na tapuetnae kaawm vaw. Kayuemhoehnaw ni patenghai yah hettelah ngoun teh a sak a nahoehmaw.And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even Gentiles do the same?

48Hatdawkvah nangmae kalvanlae Na pa teh a kuep e patetlah nangmouh haiyah kuep van awh atipouh.Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
