Matthew 5 (STW)

1Igiwe Jesus a weri pwuwaen aeremas kkewe, iwe a ittae wooan eew rhug a ittae mooat tiw. Rhooan kkayeo kkewe naiun ra itto reen.When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain and sat down. His disciples came to Him,

2Iwe, Jesus a rhaepetae aan fenai ngaeniir:and He began to teach them, saying:

3“Ra wenepwu rhooan giuneei pwe ngeoniiur e affayeo; pwe iir repwe mweoiuni Mweoiu Naaeng.“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4Ra wenepwu rhooa nee tip cchoaw nee tipeer, pwe Deus epwe rhipeer.Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

5Ra wenepwu rhooa mesoan, pwe iir repwe faniuwaeni feoniufan.Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

6Ra wenepwu rhooan mwerhaen feeori minne epwiung me faaen mesaen Deus, pwe Deus epwe fang ngaeniir minikkena re tipaeni.Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

7Ra wenepwu rhooa ffayeo, pwe Deus epwe pwan ffayeo ngaeniir.Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

8Ra wenepwu rhooa nimegacch nee tipeer, pwe iir repwe weri Deus.Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

9Ra wenepwu rhooan engaengaen oapoas, pwe Deus epwe faingiir pwe iir naiun.Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.

10Ra wenepwu rhooa aewwaeiraes reen aar feeori nee tipaen Deus, pwe iir repwe mweoiuni Mweoiu Naaeng.Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11“Oaw wenepwu aaemi rhooana re ffeeoretae kkepesaemi, nge re aewwaeiraesigaemi, me aepesa aenneewagaemi pwe aegin ngaang.Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.

12Oawkker nge a mwamwaai nee tipaemi, pwe a yor paniuwaemi ina e igin faeregit me naaeng. Pwe ieei wunuunun aar pwan aewwaeiraesiir profeta kkewe regommw me mmwaemi.Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets before you.

13“Aaemi oawwa taeppen rhag aesiig faaen iteer aeremesaen feoniufan. Pwe aere aesiig esa saaet no, esoapw mmwen sipwe aesaaeti sefaaeniy. Iwe esa yor no ipitan, epwe aekkaerh wow pwe aeremas repwe pwuri fetaeneei.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.

14“Aaemi seremaen feoniufan. Eew aepinoamw ne eno wooan eew rhug esoapw mmwenen mwoanonoa.You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.

15Esooar erhai aeremas ne epwe figi eew oappwun nge a iseni nong faaen eew saepiy, pwe epwe faer iseni tae wooan nenien, pwe epwe aesseremaar rhooan iimw we.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.

16Epwe ieei wunuunun seremaemi aan epwe ttin memmweer aeremas, pwe repwe giuneei aaemi wegitaeg mwamwaai iwe nge re aepingepinga Semaemi me wooai naaeng.In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

17“Oawsoapw niunniuwaennei pwe iya itto pwe ipwe oamoai noa Anniug kkewe aaen Moses me aar profeta kkewe kkepesaen fenai. Ngaang ise itto pwe ipwe itto oamoai noa, pwe ifaer itto pwe ipwe pwaeritae minna wenewenen.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.

18Ennetaen, ipwe aengaenigaemi, pwe epat mwo aere efai mwo iirh me reen anniug eei nge esoapw aekkaerh noa toori aan toarop noa naaeng me soanop pwan toori aan epwe moann oanongaen meeta.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.

19Iwe, ngaere erhai ese tapweei mwo nge eew anniug mwittig kkeei nge e oasuguuna ngaeniir aaemweoi pwe repwe pwan taeppen iiy, iiy epwe igin sessoan me noan Mweoiu Naaeng. Ngaere erhai epwe tapweei iiy anniug kkeei nge e oasuguuna ngaeniir aaemweoi pwe repwe pwan taeppen iiy, iiy epwe taegias me noan Mweoiu Naaeng.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.

20Ipwe aengaenigaemi, pwe aaemi oawpwe mmwenen toonong rhag noan Mweoiu Naaeng igine aaemi e mwamwaai wegitaegimi saengiir sinsein anniug me Pharisees kkewe.For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

21“Oawwa rongorong aar aengaeniir aeremesaen mweoiwe pwe, ‘Wosoapw nni menaw aeremas. Iyo enni menaw aeremas epwe toonong noan nenien apwiung.’You have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not murder’ and ‘Anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’

22Nge ngaang ipwene aengaenigaemi: iyo e esoong ngaeni pwiin nge epwe noa noan nenien apwiung, nge iyo e aengaeni pwiin pwe, ‘Een esooar ipitoamw,’ epwe noa noan nenien apwiung na e taegias, nge iyo e aengaeni pwiin pwe, ‘Een wopwurh,’ nge epwe noa noan aengaetaen nifierno.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.

23Iwe aere wopwe pwigitae oamw oasoar ngaeni Deus wooan antar, nge a maeng ngaeniug pwe pwiimw ecchoaw tipan woamw,So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you,

24wa nigiti mwo oasoar we oamw weni mmwan antar nge wa sefaaen, pwe oawpwe oamwusomwus fengaen. Mwirin wa sefaaeneto pwigitae oasoar we oamw ngaeni Deus.leave your gift there before the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.

25“Aere erhai a mwerhaen pwigiug noa noan nenien apwiung, wopwe mwetekkaein saeneti ffin nipwaen iga e rhiuwen yor oaton, weni mmwaen iga wopwe toori nenien apwiung. Pwe oatona wopwe toori rhag nenien apwiung, ina nge een wopwene noa reen soaw apwiung we, nge iiy epwene aefengoag noa nee paiiur police, nge iir repwene iseniug nong noan kanepwus.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.

26Ennetaen, ipwe aengaenigaemi, pwe iginaan iga wopwe noa no e toori oamw wopwe piungiutiw oanongaen paniuwaen monofitimw.Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.

27“Oawwa rongorong pwe re aepesa pwe, ‘Wosoapw maiur ngaeni pwiuniuwaen erhai.’You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’

28Nge ngaang ipwe aengaenigaemi pwe: aere erhai mwaaen a pipiiy erhai rhooapwut nge a rig nee tipan ngaeni, iiy a fasiun monofit reen aan maiur ngaeni pwiuniuwaen erhai me noan nee tipan.But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

29Iwe, aere ifirhin mesoamw e paeniug nong noan monofit, oannusuwow wa oatoranoa. Efaer gacch igine egiufet ireiren oanongoamw epwe ppiungiunoa, mmwaen igine wunusaen oanongoamw epwe aekkaerhnong noan nifierno.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.

30Ngaere ifirhin poawumw e paeniug nong noan monofit, gopiy noa wa oatoranoa. Efaer gacch igine egiufet ireiren oanongoamw epwe ppiungiunoa, mmwaen igine wunusaen oanongoamw epwe toonong noan nifierno.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.

31“Epwan aepesa pwe, ‘Erhai ne e asiuw noa pwiuniuwan nge epwe ngaenneei niewe erheo pwapwioron mweoinoa.’It has also been said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’

32Nge ngaang ipwe aengaenigaemi: aere erhai mwaaen a mweoi saengi pwiuniuwan reen ese tiwegin meeta ppweoniun, nge soapw reen aaen niewe maiur ngaeni pwiuniuwaen erhai, iwe wonowe minne a monofit pwe a feeori niewe epwe oamonofit reen aan pwiuppwiuniuw sefaaen, nge iiy mwaaen na a pwiuniuwaeni, ina iiy a pwan feeori monofit.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.

33“Oawwa pwan rongorong aar aengaeniir aeremesaen mweoiwe pwe, ‘Wosoapw misimis oamw aekkepan, nge wopwe faer feeori meeta e oamw aekkepan ngaeni Deus.’Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.’

34Nge ngaang ipwe aengaenigaemi: wosoapw aekkepan rhag. Wosoapw aekkepan faaen itaen naaeng, pwe ina nenien Deus,But I tell you not to swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;

35nge soapw pwan faaen itaen soanop, pwe ina aaen Deus nenien aseoseon pirheen, nge soapw pwan faaen itaen Jerusalem, pwe ina aepinoamwon King we egin taegias.or by the earth, for it is His footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

36Wosoapw pwan aekkepan mwo nge faaen itaen rhimwemw, pwe wosoapw mmwenen aepwerhepwerha aere oarhonaanoa eyaen aennirhimwemw.Nor should you swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black.

37Wopwe aepesa, ‘Ewaer,’ aere ‘Aapw,’ pwe ese tiwegin minne wonaaen aepesa nge e itto saengi Man Aenneew we.Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ Anything more comes from the evil one.

38“Oawwa rongorong pwe re aepesa pwe, ‘Aere erhai e aettiwow efai mesoamw nge paniuwaenin wa pwan aettiwow efai mesan, nge aere erhai e aettiwow efoarh ngiimw, nge paniuwaenin wa pwan aettiwow efoarh ngiin.’You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.’

39Nge ngaang ipwe aengaenigaemi: oawsoapw paniuwaeni aaen aeremas aenneew ngaenigaemi. Aere erhai e ppeosepa ne oawusupoamw me wooan peig mwaaenemw, pwan wegeti ngaeni ne oawusupoamw me wooan peig rhooapwutomw.But I tell you not to resist an evil person. If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also;

40Aere erhai e pwigiug noa noan nenien apwiung pwe epwe pwigi mengaagiumw mengaag, faer pwan nigiti ngaeni siketa na pwe pwan mengaagiun.if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well;

41Aere erhai sonotaw e akkiuneog pwe wopwe pwigi ngaeni pisaegin noan eew mile, faer pwigi ngaeni noan ruwowu miles.and if someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.

42Aere erhai a tingoareog meeta oamw, ngaenneei, ngaere erhai a mwerhaen aeyae mwo meeta pisaegimw, fang ngaeni.Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

43“Oawwa rongorong pwe re aepesa pwe, ‘Oaw aerhaengiir rhooan weni oaromi, nge oaw oapwutaar rhooan oapwutaegaemi.’You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor’ and ‘Hate your enemy.’

44Nge ngaang ipwe aengaenigaemi: oawpwe aerhaengiir rhooan oapwutaegaemi nge oawwa maeipin faaen iteer rhooakkena re aewwaeiraesigaemi,But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

45pwe oawpwe no pwe naiun minna Semaemi wooai naaeng. Pwe iya aettina feeorian aenet wooar aeremas aenneew me aeremas gacch, nge a apiungiutiw worhow wooar rhooakkena reffeeor mwamwaai me rhooakkena reffeeor aenneew.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.

46Meeta faan Deus epwe fang niffengaemi aere oaw aerhaengiir rhag rhooa na re aerhaengigaemi? Pwan rhooan iyoiyon mwo tax nge refeeori minna.If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Do not even tax collectors do the same?

47Aere weni maereyaeremi rhag minne wogaen kekkepas ngaeniir, ina nge minna wofeeori nge ese pwan wen saengiir aaemweoi. Pwan re Gentiles mwo nge refeeori taeppen minna.And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even Gentiles do the same?

48Iwe aaemi oawpwe igin menaw gacch pwe oawpwe taeppen rhag gacchiun minna Semaemi wooai naaeng.Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
