1 ¶ And seeing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain; and when he had sat down, his disciples came unto him;

A, i tona kitenga i te whakaminenga, ka haere ia ki runga ki te maunga: a, no ka noho ia, ka haere ana akonga ki a ia:

2 a nd he opened his mouth and taught them, saying,

Na ka puaki tona mangai, a ka whakaako ia i a ratou, ka mea,

3 ¶ Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of the heavens.

Ka koa te hunga he rawakore nei te wairua: no ratou hoki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.

4 B lessed are those that mourn, for they shall be comforted.

Ka koa te hunga e tangi ana: ka whakamarietia hoki ratou.

5 B lessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

Ka koa te hunga ngakau mahaki: ka riro hoki i a ratou te whenua.

6 B lessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

Ka koa te hunga e hiakai ana, e hiainu ana, ki te tika: e makona hoki ratou.

7 B lessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

Ka koa te hunga tohu tangata: e tohungia hoki ratou.

8 B lessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

Ka koa te hunga ngakau ma: e kite hoki ratou i te Atua.

9 B lessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God.

Ka koa te hunga hohou rongo: ka huaina hoki ratou he tamariki na te Atua.

10 B lessed are those who suffer persecution for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of the heavens.

Ka koa te hunga e whakatoia ana mo te tika: no ratou hoki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.

11 B lessed are ye when men shall revile you and persecute you and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely for my sake.

Ka koa koutou ina tawai ratou i a koutou, ina whakatoi, ina puaki i a ratou nga kupu kino katoa mo koutou, he mea teka, he whakaaro hoki ki ahau.

12 R ejoice and be exceeding glad, for great is your reward in the heavens; for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Kia hari, kia whakamanamana: he rahi hoki te utu mo koutou i te rangi: he penei hoki ta ratou whakatoi i nga poropiti i mua i a koutou.

13 ¶ Ye are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its savour, with what shall it be salted? From then on it is good for nothing, but to be cast out and to be trodden under foot of men.

Ko koutou te tote o te whenua: otira ki te hemo te ha o te tote, ma te aha e whai tikanga tote ai? heoi ano tona painga, na ka akiritia ki waho, ka takahia e nga tangata.

14 Y e are the light of the world. A city set upon a mountain cannot be hid.

Ko koutou te whakamarama o te ao. E kore e ngaro te pa e tu ana i runga maunga.

15 N either do men light a lamp and put it under a bushel, but on the lampstand, and it gives light unto all that are in the house.

E kore hoki e tahuna te rama, e whakaturia ki raro o te mehua, engari ki runga ki te turanga; a ka tiaho ki nga tangata katoa i roto i te whare.

16 L et your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in the heavens.

Waihoki kia tiaho to koutou marama ki te aroaro o nga tangata, kia kite ai ratou i a koutou hanga pai, kia whakakororia ai i to koutou Matua i te rangi.

17 ¶ Think not that I am come to undo the law or the prophets; I am not come to undo, but to fulfil.

Kei mea koutou i haere mai ahau ki te whakakahore i te ture, i nga poropiti ranei; kihai ahau i haere mai ki te whakakahore, engari ki te whakatutuki.

18 F or verily I say unto you, Until heaven and earth pass away, not one jot or one tittle shall pass from the law until all is fulfilled.

He tino pono hoki taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Pahemo noa te rangi me te whenua, e kore tetahi tongi, tetahi tohu ranei o te ture e pahemo, kia rite katoa ra ano.

19 W hosoever therefore shall undo one of these least commandments and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of the heavens; but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of the heavens.

Na, ki te whakakahore tetahi i tetahi mea iti rawa o enei kupu ako, a ka ako i nga tangata kia pera, ka kiia ia ko te iti rawa i te rangatiratanga o te rangi: engari ki te whakaritea e tetahi, ki te whakaakona, ka kiia ia he nui i te rangatirata nga o te rangi.

20 F or 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 the heavens.

Ko taku kupu hoki tenei ki a koutou, Ki te kore e nui ake ta koutou mahi tika i ta nga karaipi ratou ko nga Parihi, e kore rawa koutou e tapoko ki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.

21 ¶ Ye have heard that it was said to the ancients, Thou shalt not commit murder, and whosoever shall commit murder shall be guilty of the judgment;

Kua rongo koutou, i korerotia ki nga tupuna, Kaua e patu tangata; a ki te patu tangata tetahi, ka tau te he ki a ia.

22 b ut I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother out of control shall be in danger of the judgment, and whosoever shall insult his brother shall be in danger of the council, but whosoever shall say, Thou art impious, shall be in danger of hell.

Na ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Ki te riri noa tetahi ki tona teina, ka tau te he ki a ia; a ki te mea tetahi ki tona teina, Wairangi! ka tika kia komititia: na ki te mea tetahi, Poauau! ka tika mona te kapura o Kehena.

23 T herefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there remember that thy brother has something against thee;

Na reira, ki te mauria e koe tau whakahere ki te aata, a ka mahara i reira i hara koe ki tou hoa;

24 l eave thy gift there before the altar, and go; first restore friendship with thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

Waiho tau whakahere i reira, i mua o te aata, a haere, matua houhia te rongo ki tou teina, ka haere ai, ka mau ai i tau whakahere.

25 C onciliate 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.

Kia hohoro te whakarite i ta korua korero ko tou hoa tauwhainga, i a korua ano i te ara, kei tukua koe e te hoa tauwhainga ki te kaiwhakawa, a ka tukua e te kaiwhakawa ki te katipa, a ka maka koe ki te whare herehere.

26 V erily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out of there, until thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.

He pono taku e mea atu nei ki a koe, E kore rawa koe e puta i reira, kia utua ra ano te patene whakamutunga.

27 ¶ Ye have heard that it was said to the ancients, Thou shalt not commit adultery;

Kua rongo koutou, i korerotia, Kaua e puremu:

28 b ut I say unto you, That whosoever looks on a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Na ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Ki te titiro tetahi ki te wahine, he hiahia ki a ia, kua puremu ke ia ki a ia i roto i tona ngakau.

29 T herefore if thy right eye should bring thee occasion to stumble, pluck it out and cast it from thee; for it is better for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

Ki te he koe i tou kanohi matau, tikarohia, maka atu: he pai ke hoki ki a koe ki te ngaro tetahi wahi ou, a ka kore e maka tou tinana katoa ki Kehena.

30 A nd if thy right hand should bring thee occasion to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is better for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

Ki te he ano hoki koe i tou ringa matau, poutoa, maka atu: he pai ke ki te mate tetahi wahi ou, a ka kore e maka tou tinana katoa ki Kehena.

31 I t was also said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a bill of divorce;

I korerotia ano, Ki te whakarere tetahi i tana wahine, me hoatu ki a ia tetahi pukapuka whakarere:

32 b ut I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, except for the cause of fornication, causes her to commit adultery; and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced commits adultery.

Na ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Ki te whakarere tetahi i tana wahine, haunga mo te take moepuku, e mea ana ia i te wahine kia puremu: a ki te marena tetahi i te wahine i whakarerea, e puremu ana ia.

33 ¶ Again, ye have heard that it was said to the ancients, Thou shalt not perjure thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths;

Kua rongo ano koutou, i korerotia ki nga tupuna, Kaua e oati teka, engari me whakamana au oati ki te Ariki:

34 b ut I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by the heaven, for it is God’s throne,

Na ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Kaua rawa tetahi mea e oatitia; kaua te rangi, ko to te Atua torona hoki ia:

35 n or by the earth, for it is his footstool, neither by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

Kaua hoki te whenua; ko te turanga hoki tera o ona waewae: kaua hoki a Hiruharama; ko te pa hoki tera o te Kingi nui.

36 N either shalt thou swear by thy head because thou canst not make one hair white or black.

Kaua ano e oatitia tou matenga, e kore hoki e ahei i a koe te mea kia ma tetahi makawe, kia mangu ranei.

37 B ut let your communication be, Yes, yes; No, no; for whatsoever is more than this comes of evil.

Erangi ko tenei hei kupu ma koutou, Ae, ae; Kahore, kahore: no te mea ki te maha atu i ena, no te kino.

38 ¶ Ye have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth;

Kua rongo koutou i korerotia, He kanohi mo te kanohi, he niho mo te niho:

39 b ut I say unto you, That ye resist not with evil, but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

Na ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Kaua e whakauaua atu ki te kino; erangi ki te pakia tou paparinga matau e tetahi, whakaangahia atu hoki tera ki a ia.

40 A nd if anyone desires to sue thee at the law, and take away thy clothing, let him have thy cloak also.

A ki te mea tetahi kia whakawakia koe, ka tangohia tou koti, tukua atu hoki tou ngeri ki a ia.

41 A nd whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him two.

A ki te tonoa koe e tetahi kia haere kotahi te maero, kia rua au e haere tahi ai me ia.

42 G ive to him that asks of thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

Hoatu ki te tangata e tono mea ana i a koe, kaua hoki e tahuri ke i te tangata e mea ana ki te taonga tarewa i a koe.

43 ¶ Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

Kua rongo koutou i korerotia, Kia aroha ki tou hoa tata, kia kino hoki ki tou hoa whawhai:

44 B ut I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless those that curse you, do good to those that hate you, and pray for those who speak evil about you, and persecute you;

Na ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Arohaina o koutou hoa whawhai, manaakitia te hunga e kanga ana i a koutou, kia pai te mahi ki te hunga e kino ana ki a koutou, me inoi hoki mo te hunga e whakawhiu ana i a koutou, e whakatoi ana i a koutou;

45 t hat ye may be sons of your Father who is in the heavens, for he makes his sun to rise on the evil and on the good and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

Kia tupu ai koutou hei tamariki ma to koutou Matua i te rangi: e mea nei hoki ia i tona ra kia whiti ki te hunga kino, ki te hunga pai, kia ua hoki te ua ki te hunga tika, ki te hunga he.

46 F or if ye love those who love you, what reward shall ye have? Do not even the publicans the same?

Ki te aroha hoki koutou ki te hunga e aroha ana ki a koutou, he aha te utu e riro i a koutou? Kahore ianei nga pupirikana e pena?

47 A nd if ye embrace your brethren only, what do ye more than others? Do not even the publicans so?

A ki te oha koutou ki o koutou teina anake, he aha ta koutou mahi i nui ake i ta etahi? kahore ianei nga tauiwi e pena hoki?

48 B e ye therefore perfect, even as your Father who is in the heavens is perfect.

Na kia tika koutou, kia pera me to koutou Matua i te rangi e tika ana.
