1 J esus saw many people. He went up on the mountain and sat down. His followers came to Him.

وَعِندَما رَأى يَسُوعُ الجُمُوعَ، صَعِدَ إلَى تَلَّةٍ وَجَلَسَ. فَجاءَ إلَيهِ تَلامِيذُهُ،

2 H e began to teach them, saying,

وَابتَدَأ يَتَكَلَّمُ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمْ وَيَقولُ:

3 “ Those who know there is nothing good in themselves are happy, because the holy nation of heaven is theirs.

«هَنِيئاً لِلمَساكِينِ بِالرُّوحِ، لِأنَّ مَلَكُوتَ السَّماواتِ قَدْ أُعطِيَ لَهُمْ.

4 T hose who have sorrow are happy, because they will be comforted.

هَنِيئِاً لِلباكِينَ، لِأنَّ اللهَ سَيُعَزِّيهِمْ.

5 T hose who have no pride in their hearts are happy, because the earth will be given to them.

هَنِيئِاً لِلمُتَواضِعِينَ، لِأنَّهُمْ سَيَرِثُونَ الأرْضَ.

6 T hose who are hungry and thirsty to be right with God are happy, because they will be filled.

هَنِيئِاً لِلجِياعِ وَالعِطاشِ لِعَمَلِ مَشِيئَةِ اللهِ، لِأنَّ اللهَ سَيُشبِعُهُمْ.

7 T hose who show loving-kindness are happy, because they will have loving-kindness shown to them.

هَنِيئِاً لِلرُّحَماءِ، لِأنَّ اللهَ سَيَرْحَمُهُمْ.

8 T hose who have a pure heart are happy, because they will see God.

هَنِيئِاً لِذَوِي القُلُوبِ النَّقِيَّةِ، لِأنَّهُمْ سَيَرَونَ اللهَ.

9 T hose who make peace are happy, because they will be called the sons of God.

هَنِيئِاً لِلعامِلِينَ عَلَى إحلالِ السَّلامِ، لِأنَّهُمْ سَيُدعَونَ أبناءَ اللهِ.

10 T hose who have it very hard for doing right are happy, because the holy nation of heaven is theirs.

هَنِيئِاً لِلمُضطَهَدِينَ لِأجلِ البِرِّ، لِأنَّ مَلَكُوتَ السَّماواتِ قَدْ أُعطِيَ لَهُمْ.

11 Y ou are happy when people act and talk in a bad way to you and make it very hard for you and tell bad things and lies about you because you trust in Me.

«هَنِيئِاً لَكُمْ عِندَما يُهِينُكُمُ النّاسُ وَيَضطَهِدُونَكُمْ، وَيَتَّهِمونَكُمْ كَذِباً بِعَمَلِ الشَّرِّ، لِأنَّكُمْ تَلامِيذِي.

12 B e glad and full of joy because your reward will be much in heaven. They made it very hard for the early preachers who lived a long time before you. Jesus Teaches about Salt and Light

افرَحُوا وَابتَهِجُوا، لِأنَّ مُكافَأتَكُمْ سَتَكُونُ عَظِيمَةً فِي السَّماءِ. لأنَّهُمْ هَكَذا كانُوا يَضطَهِدُونَ الأنبِياءَ الَّذِينَ عاشُوا قَبلَكُمْ أيضاً. مِلحٌ وَنُور

13 “ You are the salt of the earth. If salt loses its taste, how can it be made to taste like salt again? It is no good. It is thrown away and people walk on it.

«أنتُمْ مِلْحٌ لِلنّاسِ جَمِيعاً. لَكِنْ إذا فَقَدَ المِلحُ مَذاقَهُ، فَبِماذا نُعالِجُهُ لِيَعُودَ صالِحاً؟ لا يَصلُحُ فِيما بَعْدُ لِشَيءٍ، إلّا لِأنْ يُلقَى إلَى خارِجِ البيتِ، لِتَدُوسَهُ الأقْدامُ.

14 Y ou are the light of the world. You cannot hide a city that is on a mountain.

«أنتُمْ نُورُ العالَمْ. لايُمكِنُ إخفاءُ مَدِينَةٍ مَبنِيَّةٍ عَلَى جَبَلٍ،

15 M en do not light a lamp and put it under a basket. They put it on a table so it gives light to all in the house.

وَلا يُشعِلُ النّاسُ مِصباحاً وَيَضَعُونَهُ تَحتَ إناءٍ! بَلْ يَضَعُونَهُ عَلَى حَمّالَةٍ مُرتَفِعَةٍ لِكَي يُضيئَ عَلَى جَمِيعِ الَّذينَ فِي المَنزِلِ.

16 L et your light shine in front of men. Then they will see the good things you do and will honor your Father Who is in heaven. Jesus Teaches about the Law

هَكَذا أيضاً، اجعَلُوا نُورَكُمْ يُضيء أمامَ النّاسِ، لِكَي يَرَوا أعمالَكُمُ الصّالِحَةَ، وَيُمَجِّدوا أباكُمُ الَّذِي فِي السَّماءِ.» يَسُوعُ وَشَريعَةُ مُوسَى

17 “ Do not think that I have come to do away with the Law of Moses or the writings of the early preachers. I have not come to do away with them but to complete them.

«لا تَظُنُّوا أنِّي جِئْتُ لِكَي أُلغِيَ شَرِيعَةَ مُوسَى أوْ تَعليمَ الأنبِياءِ. لَمْ آتِ لِكَي أُلغِيَها، بَلْ لِأُعطِيَها مَعناها الكامِلَ.

18 I tell you, as long as heaven and earth last, not one small mark or part of a word will pass away of the Law of Moses until it has all been done.

أقولُ الحَقَّ لَكُمْ، إلَى أنْ تَزُولَ السَّماءُ وَالأرْضُ، لَنْ يَزُولَ أصغَرُ حَرفٍ أوْ نُقطَةٍ مِنَ الشَّرِيعَةِ، حَتَّى يَتِمَّ كُلُّ ما هُوَ مَكتُوبٌ فِيها.

19 A nyone who breaks even the least of the Law of Moses and teaches people not to do what it says, will be called the least in the holy nation of heaven. He who obeys and teaches others to obey what the Law of Moses says, will be called great in the holy nation of heaven.

«لِذَلِكَ مَنْ يَكسِرُ أصغَرَ هَذِهِ الوَصايا وَيُعَلِّمُ النّاسَ أنْ يَفعَلُوا مِثلَهُ، سَيُعتَبَرُ الأصغَرَ فِي مَلَكُوتِ السَّماواتِ. أمّا مَنْ يُطِيعُ هَذِهِ الوَصايا وَيُعَلِّمُ الآخَرِينَ أنْ يُطِيعُوها، فَسَيُعتَبَرُ الأعظَمَ فِي مَلَكُوتِ السَّماواتِ.

20 I tell you, unless you are more right with God than the teachers of the Law and the proud religious law-keepers, you will never get into the holy nation of heaven. Jesus Teaches about Anger and Killing

لِأنِّي أقُولُ لَكُمْ إنَّهُ ما لَمْ تَزِدْ طاعَتُكُمْ للهِ عَلَىْ طاعَةِ مُعَلِّمِي الشَّرِيعَةِ وَالفِرِّيسِيِّينَ، فَلَنْ تَدخُلُوا مَلَكُوتَ السَّماواتِ. الغَضَب

21 “ You have heard that men were told long ago, ‘You must not kill another person. If someone does kill, he will be guilty and will be punished for his wrong-doing.’

«تَعرِفُونَ أنَّهُ قِيلَ لِآبائِكُمْ: ‹لا تَقتُلْ. وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَقتُلْ يَستَحِقُّ المُحاكَمَةَ.›

22 B ut I tell you that whoever is angry with his brother will be guilty and have to suffer for his wrong-doing. Whoever says to his brother, ‘You have no brains,’ will have to stand in front of the court. Whoever says, ‘You fool,’ will be sent to the fire of hell.

أمّا أنا فَأقُولُ لَكُمْ إنَّ مَنْ يَغضَبُ مِنْ شَخصٍ آخَرَ فَإنَّهُ يَستَحِقُّ المُحاكَمَةَ، وَمَنْ يَشتِمُ شَخصاً آخَرَ يَنبَغِي أنْ يَقِفَ أمامَ مَجلِسِ القَضاءِ. وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَقُولُ لِشَخصٍ آخَرَ: ‹أيُّها الغَبِيُّ› يَستَحِقُّ الجَحِيمَ.

23 I f you take your gift to the altar and remember your brother has something against you,

«لِذَلِكَ إنْ كُنتَ تُقَدِّمُ تَقدِمَةً عَلَى المَذْبَحِ، وَهُناكَ تَذَكَّرْتَ أنَّ شَخصاً آخَرَ لَهُ شَيءٌ عَلَيكَ،

24 l eave your gift on the altar. Go and make right what is wrong between you and him. Then come back and give your gift.

فَاترُكْ تَقدِمَتَكَ هُناكَ أمامَ المَذْبَحِ، وَاذْهَبْ وَاصْطَلِحْ مَعَ ذَلِكَ الشَّخصِ أوَّلاً، ثُمَّ ارجِعْ وَقَدِّمْ تَقدِمَتَكَ.

25 A gree with the one who is against you while you are talking together, or he might take you to court. The court will hand you over to the police. You will be put in prison.

«سالِمْ خَصمَكَ سَرِيعاً، بَينَما تَمشِي مَعَهُ فِي الطَّرِيقِ إلَى المَحكَمَةِ. وَإلّا فَإنَّهُ سَيُسَلِّمُكَ إلَى القاضِي، وَالقاضِي سَيُسَلِّمُكَ إلَى السَّجّانِ فَيُلقِي بِكَ إلَى السِّجْنِ.

26 F or sure, I tell you, you will not be let out of prison until you have paid every piece of money of the fine. Jesus Teaches about Husband and Wife

أقولُ الحَقَّ لَكَ، إنَّكَ لَنْ تَخرُجَ مِنْ هُناكَ إلَىْ أنْ تَسُدَّ آخِرَ فِلْسٍ عَلَيكَ. الزِّنَى

27 “ You have heard that it was said long ago, ‘You must not do sex sins.’

«سَمِعْتُمْ أنَّهُ قِيلَ: ‹لاتَزْنِ.›

28 B ut I tell you, anyone who even looks at a woman with a sinful desire of wanting her has already sinned in his heart.

أمّا أنا فَأقُولُ لَكُمْ: إنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ نَظَرَ إلَى امْرأةٍ لِيَشتَهيَها، فَقَدْ زَنَى بِها فِي قَلبِهِ.

29 I f your right eye is the reason you sin, take it out and throw it away. It is better to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.

لِذَلِكَ إنْ كانَتْ عَينُكَ اليُمنَى تَدفَعُكَ إلَى الخَطِيَّةِ، فَاقلَعْها وَألقِها بَعِيداً عَنْكَ. فَالأفضَلُ أنْ تَفقِدَ عُضْواً واحِداً مِنْ جِسْمِكَ، مِنْ أنْ يُطرَحَ جِسْمُكَ كُلُّهُ إلَى جَهَنَّمَ.

30 I f your right hand is the reason you sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go to hell. Jesus Teaches about Marriage

وَإنْ كانَتْ يَدُكَ اليُمنَى تَدفَعُكَ إلَى الخَطِيَّةِ، فَاقطَعْها وَألقِها بَعِيداً عَنْكَ. فَالأفضَلُ أنْ تَفقِدَ عُضْواً واحِداً مِنْ جِسْمِكَ، مِنْ أنْ يُطرَحَ جِسْمُكَ كُلُّهُ إلَى جَهَنَّمَ. الطَّلاق

31 “ It has been said, ‘Whoever wants to divorce his wife should have it put in writing, telling her he is leaving her.’

«قِيلَ أيضاً: ‹إذا طَلَّقَ أحَدٌ زَوجَتَهُ، فَليُعطِها وَثِيقَةً تُثبِتُ ذَلِكَ.›

32 B ut I tell you, whoever divorces his wife except if she has not been faithful to him, makes her guilty of a sex sin. Whoever marries a woman who has been divorced is guilty of a sex sin. Jesus Teaches about What to Say

أمّا أنا فَأقُولُ لَكُمْ إنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يُطَلِّقُ زَوجَتَهُ، إلّا بِسَبَبِ الزِّنَى، فَإنَّهُ يُعَرِّضُها لارْتِكابِ الزِّنَى. وَمَنْ يَتَزَوَّجُ امْرأةً مُطَلَّقَةً، فَإنَّهُ يَزنِي. القَسَم

33 “ You have heard that it was said long ago, ‘You must not make a promise you cannot keep. You must carry out your promises to the Lord.’

«سَمِعْتُمْ أنَّهُ قِيلَ أيضاً لِآبائِكُمْ: ‹لا تَحلِفْ بِالكَذِبِ، بَلْ أوفِ بِما أقسَمْتَ بِأنْ تَفعَلَهُ لِلرَّبِّ.›

34 I tell you, do not use strong words when you make a promise. Do not promise by heaven. It is the place where God is.

أمّا أنا فَأقُولُ لَكُمْ: لا تَحلِفُوا مُطلَقاً.

35 D o not promise by earth. It is where He rests His feet. Do not promise by Jerusalem. It is the city of the great King.

لا تَحلِفُوا لا بِالسَّماءِ لِأنَّها عَرشُ اللهِ، وَلا بِالأرْضِ لِأنَّها مَسنَدُ قَدَميهِ، وَلا بِمَدِينَةِ القُدسِ لِأنَّها مَدِينَةُ المَلِكِ العَظِيمِ.

36 D o not promise by your head. You are not able to make one hair white or black.

لا تَحلِفْ بِرَأسِكَ، لِأنَّكَ لا تَستَطِيعُ أنْ تَجعَلَ شَعرَةً مِنْهُ سَوداءَ أوْ بَيضاءَ.

37 L et your yes be YES. Let your no be NO. Anything more than this comes from the devil. Jesus Teaches about Fighting

فَإنْ أرَدْتُمْ أنْ تَقُولُوا ‹نَعَمْ،› فَقُولُوا ‹نَعَمْ.› وَإنْ أرَدْتُمْ أنْ تَقُولُوا ‹لا،› فَقُولُوا ‹لا.› وَكُلُّ ما يَزِيدُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ مِنَ الشِّرِّيرِ. مُقاوَمَةُ الشَّرّ

38 “ You have heard that it has been said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’

«سَمِعْتُمْ أنَّهُ قِيلَ: ‹العَينُ بِالعَينِ، وَالسِّنُّ بِالسِّنِّ.›

39 B ut I tell you, do not fight with the man who wants to fight. Whoever hits you on the right side of the face, turn so he can hit the other side also.

أمّا أنا فَأقُولُ: لا تُقاوِمُوا الشَّرَّ. بَلْ إنْ لَطَمَكَ أحَدٌ عَلَى خَدِّكَ الأيمَنِ، فَقَدِّمْ لَهُ الخَدَّ الآخَرَ أيضاً.

40 I f any person takes you to court to get your shirt, give him your coat also.

وَإنْ أرادَ أحَدٌ أنْ يُحاكِمَكَ لِيَأخُذَ قَمِيصَكَ، فَدَعْهُ يَأخُذُ مِعطَفَكَ أيضاً.

41 W hoever makes you walk a short way, go with him twice as far.

وَإنْ أجبَرَكَ أحَدٌ عَلَى السَّيرِ مَعَهُ مِيلاً واحِداً، فَامشِ مَعَهُ مِيلَينِ.

42 G ive to any person who asks you for something. Do not say no to the man who wants to use something of yours. Jesus Teaches about Loving Those Who Hate You

وَإنْ طَلَبَ مِنْكَ أحَدٌ شَيئاً، فَأعطِهِ إيّاهُ. وَلا تَرفُضْ إقراضَ مَنْ يَطلُبُ الاقتِراضَ مِنْكَ. مَحَبَّةُ الجَمِيع

43 “ You have heard that it has been said, ‘You must love your neighbor and hate those who hate you.’

«سَمِعْتُمْ أنَّهُ قِيلَ: ‹أحبِبْ صاحِبَكَ، وَأبغُضْ عَدُوَّكَ.›

44 B ut I tell you, love those who hate you. (Respect and give thanks for those who say bad things to you. Do good to those who hate you.) Pray for those who do bad things to you and who make it hard for you.

أمّا أنا فَأقُولُ لَكُمْ: أحِبُّوا أعداءَكُمْ، وَصَلُّوا مِنْ أجلِ الَّذِينَ يَضْطَهِدُونَكُمْ،

45 T hen you may be the sons of your Father Who is in heaven. His sun shines on bad people and on good people. He sends rain on those who are right with God and on those who are not right with God.

فَتَكُونُوا بِذَلِكَ أبناءَ أبِيكُمُ الَّذِي فِي السَّماءِ. لِأنَّ اللهَ يَجعَلُ الشَّمْسَ تُشْرِقُ عَلَى الخُطاةِ وَالصّالِحِينَ، وَيُرسِلُ المَطَرَ إلَى الأبرارِ وَالأشْرارِ.

46 I f you love those who love you, what reward can you expect from that? Do not even the tax-gatherers do that?

فَإنْ أحبَبْتُمْ مَنْ يُحِبُّونَكُمْ فَقَط، فَأيَّةَ مُكافَئَةٍ تَستَحِقُّونَ؟ أفَلا يَفْعَلُ جامِعُو الضَّرائِبِ ذَلِكَ أيضاً؟

47 I f you say hello only to the people you like, are you doing any more than others? The people who do not know God do that much.

وَإنْ كُنْتُمْ تُحَيُّونَ إخْوَتَكُمْ فَقَطْ، فَما الَّذِي يُمَيِّزُكُمْ عَنِ الآخَرِينَ؟ أفَلا يَفعَلُ حَتَّى عابِدُو الأوثانِ ذَلِكَ أيضاً؟

48 Y ou must be perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect.

لِذَلِكَ كُونُوا كامِلِينَ كَما أنَّ أباكُمُ السَّماوِيَّ كامِلٌ.
