2kɨlop agñɨlɨg agak,and He began to teach them, saying:

3Binɨb kɨli ke gos nepal, God wɨdɨn mɨdup adek ak, tap tep ne ogɨnap ma mɨdebal okok, God kɨlop dɨl kod mɨdeb agak. Anɨb ak kɨlop tep yɨbɨl gek mɨñmɨñ gɨnɨgel agak.“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4Binɨb chɨb gek chaŋ lɨpal okok, God kɨlop agdɨnɨgab agak. Anɨb ak kɨlop tep yɨbɨl gek mɨñmɨñ gɨnɨgel agak.Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

Anɨb ak kɨlop tep yɨbɨl gek mɨñmɨñ gɨnɨgel agak.Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

9Binɨb jɨmñɨl yonɨgun agɨl nepal okok, God kɨlop ñapay yad agɨnɨgab agak. Anɨb ak kɨlop tep yɨbɨl gek mɨñmɨñ gɨnɨgel agak.Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.

10Binɨb God agak tek kɨdek gel kɨlop gɨ tɨmel gɨpal okok, God kɨlop dɨl kod mɨdeb agak. Anɨb ak kɨlop tep yɨbɨl gek mɨñmɨñ gɨnɨgel agak.Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11Nɨbi yɨp chɨgɨl mɨdem, binɨb okok kɨli nɨbop agjuwɨl, gɨ tɨmel gɨl, takaw tɨmel keke yepɨs agenɨgel, nɨbop tep yɨbɨl gek mɨñmɨñ gɨnɨmɨb agak.Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.

12Bɨ God gos ñek agñeb bɨlel okok kɨlop, gɨ tɨmel anɨb ak nep gɨlak agak. Anɨb ak nɨbop abe gɨlaknɨŋ, tep yɨbɨl gek mɨñmɨñ awl yɨbɨl gɨnɨmɨb agak. God ne nɨbop pen dɨtep yɨbɨl gɨnɨgab, man ne alaŋ agak. Anɨb ak tep yɨbɨl gek mɨñmɨñ awl yɨbɨl gɨnɨmɨb agak.Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets before you.

13Jisas takaw olap agak, Nɨbi binɨb lum awl dek yɨdek kɨli tek mɨdebɨm agak. Pen dek ak yɨdek ne ak amenɨgab, taydɨl gel tepayaŋ yɨdek gɨnɨgab agak? Dek anɨb ak yokɨp mɨdeb, wog ma mɨdeb agak. Binɨb okok kɨli dɨyokel, taw dad amɨl apɨl gɨnɨgabal agak.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.

14Nɨbi binɨb lum awl mɨlek kɨli tek mɨdebɨm agak. Taun olap dum alaŋ mɨdɨl, we gɨnɨgel tek ma lɨnɨgab agak.You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.

15Pen lam ak dagɨl tin muk okok ma lɨnɨgabal agak. Adek sɨŋak lel mɨlek gek, binɨb okok kal mɨgan anɨb ak mɨlek sek yenɨgabal agak.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.

16Anɨb ak tek, nɨbi mɨlek tek gem, binɨb okok mɨlek anɨb ak nɨgɨnɨgel agak. Nɨŋɨd nɨm, tap tep gɨpɨm okok nɨŋɨd, Nap man ne alaŋ mɨdeb anop yɨb ak dad aplanɨgel agak.In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

17Jisas takaw olap agak, Takaw Mosis ñu kɨl tɨkak ak sek, bɨ God gos ñek agñeb kɨl tɨkɨlak okok sek dɨyokɨnɨg ma ownek agak. Gos anɨb ak ma nɨgɨnɨmɨb agak. Ak pen, yad ownek ak, takaw ñu kɨl tɨkɨlak okok gɨnɨgab agɨl agɨlak tek, mɨdupsek gɨnɨmuŋ agɨl ownek agak.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.

18Yad nɨbop nɨŋɨd agebin, Takaw Mosis ñu kɨl tɨkak ak ma kul gɨnɨgab, mɨd dad amɨl, wɨsɨp adekab alaŋ sek, lum awl sek pɨsnep kul gɨnɨgab ñɨn ak agak.

Takaw anɨb ak anɨgɨl yenɨgab, mɨd dad amɨl, tap gɨnɨgab anɨb okok mɨdupsek gɨnɨgab agak.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.

19Anɨb ak binɨb an God takaw adek ne won ak nɨŋɨd, takaw sɨkol won olap agɨl tɨbɨlɨkɨl, binɨb okok kɨlop tɨtɨmel agñek tɨbɨlɨkɨnɨgabal ak, God binɨb dɨl kɨlop kod yenɨgab ñɨn ak, yɨb nop apyownɨgab agak. Pen binɨb an God takaw adek ne won ak nɨŋɨd, kɨdek gɨl, binɨb okok kɨlop agñɨ tep gek kɨdek gɨnɨgabal ak, God binɨb dɨl kɨlop kod yenɨgab ñɨn ak, yɨb nop ak aplanɨgab agak.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.

20Anɨb ak tek nɨbop agebin, nɨbi bɨ Pelisi okok sek, bɨ kɨli Mosis takaw ñu kɨl tɨkak ak nɨgtep gep okok sek gɨpal tek genɨmɨb, God nɨbop dɨl kod ma yenɨgab agak. Kɨli gɨpal tek ma gɨnɨmɨb agak. Nɨbi pen gɨtep yɨbɨl gɨnɨmɨb ak nɨm, God nɨbop dɨl kod yenɨgab agak.For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

21Jisas takaw olap agak, Bɨlel God takaw ak olap agek, napɨs nased yes okok kɨli takaw anɨb ak nɨgɨlak ak, nɨbi nepɨm agak. Anɨb agolɨgup, Binɨb ma ñag lɨnɨmɨb agolɨgup agak. Binɨb olap, binɨb olap nop ñag lɨnɨgab ak, kot nɨgɨnɨgab agolɨgup agak.You have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not murder’ and ‘Anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’

22Yad pen nɨbop agebin, Binɨb olap nɨmam ne nop mɨlɨk nɨgɨnɨgab ak, kot nɨgɨnɨgab agak. Pen binɨb an nɨmam ne nop agjuwenɨgab, bɨ Juda bɨawl takaw tɨg asɨkep okok apnan gɨl, nop agɨnɨgabal agak. Pen binɨb an nɨmam ne nop agɨnɨgab, Nad bɨ sawl sek yɨbɨl agɨnɨgab ak, mab ke yɨneb mɨgan ak amnɨgab agak.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.

23Anɨb ak nad tap dam God nop sɨbogep abañ adek ak sɨbog ñɨnɨg, mam yad ayɨp penpen agɨlok tek takaw mɨdeb agɨl,So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you,

Anɨgɨnɨmɨn ak pen, adɨkɨd apɨl tap anɨb ak God nop sɨbog ñɨnɨmɨn agak.leave your gift there before the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.

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.

26Yad nep nɨŋɨd agebin, nag lel yenɨgaban agak. Tap day nad okok pɨsnep day pag dɨl tek, seŋ amnɨmɨn agak.Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.

27Jisas takaw olap agak, God takaw olap agak ak, nɨbi nepɨm agak. Anɨb agolɨgup, Binbɨ nɨbi dɨpɨm ak, bin si bɨ si ma gɨnɨmɨn agolɨgup agak.You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’

28Yad pen nɨbop agebin, bɨ olap bin olap nop nɨŋɨd, nop dɨpɨnep agɨl gos nɨgup ak, bɨ anɨb ak gos ne nab ayaŋ, tap si gup agak.But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

29Pen wɨdɨn yɨpɨd pɨs nad ak nɨŋɨd, tap si tap tɨmel gep tek lonɨmuŋ, wɨdɨn pɨs kɨd anɨb ak tɨgju yokɨnɨmɨn agak. Wɨdɨn olap dɨyokenɨmɨn, tap tɨmel ma gɨnɨgaban ak, tap teplep yɨbɨl agak. Ma dɨyokɨnɨgaban ak, God ne nep mɨdupsek dad mab ke yɨneb ak amnɨgab agak.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.

30Pen ñɨn yɨpɨd kɨd nad ak, tap si tap tɨmel gep tek lonɨmuŋ, ñɨn yɨpɨd kɨd anɨb ak tɨbɨlɨk yokɨnɨmɨn agak. Ñɨn olap dɨyokenɨmɨn, tap tɨmel ma gɨnɨgaban ak, tap teplep yɨbɨl agak. Ma dɨyokɨnɨgaban ak, nad mɨdupsek mab ke yɨneb ak amnɨgaban agak.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.

31Jisas takaw olap agak, God takaw ak olap anɨb agolɨgup, Bɨ olap bin ne nop agyokɨnɨg, bin awl pɨsnep agyokebin agɨl, ñu kɨl bad olap tɨkɨl bin anɨb anop ñɨl nɨm, pɨsnep agyokɨnɨmuŋ agolɨgup agak.It has also been said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’

Pen bɨ tɨkjakɨl, bin agyokup anɨb ak nop dɨnɨgab ak, abe God ne nɨgek bɨ anɨb ak ne bin si dɨnɨgab agak.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.

33Jisas takaw olap tepayaŋ agak, Bɨlel God takaw ak olap agek, napɨs nased yes okok kɨli takaw anɨb ak nɨgɨlak ak, nɨbi nepɨm agak.

Nop takaw nep ma agɨnɨmɨb agolɨgup agak.Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.’
