Matthew 5

1 When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain and sat down. His disciples came to Him,

1 وَإِذْ رَأَى جُمُوعَ النَّاسِ، صَعِدَ إِلَى الْجَبَلِ. وَمَا إِنْ جَلَسَ، حَتَّى اقْتَرَبَ إِلَيْهِ تَلامِيذُهُ.

2 and He began to teach them, saying:

2 فَتَكَلَّمَ وَأَخَذَ يُعَلِّمُهُمْ. فَقَالَ:

3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

3 «طُوبَى لِلْمَسَاكِينِ بِالرُّوحِ، فَإِنَّ لَهُمْ مَلَكُوتَ السَّمَاوَاتِ.

4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

4 طُوبَى لِلْحَزَانَى، فَإِنَّهُمْ يَتَعَزَّوْنَ.

5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

5 طُوبَى لِلْوُدَعَاءِ، فَإِنَّهُمْ سَيَرِثُونَ الأَرْضَ.

6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

6 طُوبَى لِلْجِيَاعِ وَالْعِطَاشِ إِلَى الْبِرِّ، فَإِنَّهُمْ سَيُشْبَعُونَ.

7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

7 طُوبَى لِلرُّحَمَاءِ، فَإِنَّهُمْ سَيُرْحَمُونَ.

8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

8 طُوبَى للأَنْقِيَاءِ الْقَلْبِ، فَإِنَّهُمْ سَيَرَوْنَ اللهَ.

9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.

9 طُوبَى لِصَانِعِي السَّلامِ، فَإِنَّهُمْ سَيُدْعَوْنَ أَبْنَاءَ اللهِ.

10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

10 طُوبَى لِلْمُضْطَهَدِينَ مِنْ أَجْلِ الْحَقِّ، فَإِنَّ لَهُمْ مَلَكُوتَ السَّمَاوَاتِ.

11 Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.

11 طُوبَى لَكُمْ مَتَى أَهَانَكُمُ النَّاسُ وَاضْطَهَدُوكُمْ، وَقَالُوا عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِي كُلَّ سُوءٍ كَاذِبِينَ.

12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets before you.

12 اِفْرَحُوا وَتَهَلَّلُوا، فَإِنَّ مُكَافَأَتَكُمْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ عَظِيمَةٌ. فَإِنَّهُمْ هكَذَا اضْطَهَدُوا الأَنْبِيَاءَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ!

13 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.

13 أَنْتُمْ مِلْحُ الأَرْضِ. فَإِذَا فَسَدَ الْمِلْحُ، فَمَاذَا يُعِيدُ إِلَيْهِ مُلُوحَتَهُ؟ إِنَّهُ لَا يَعُودُ يَصْلُحُ لِشَيْءٍ إِلّا لأَنْ يُطْرَحَ خَارِجاً لِتَدُوسَهُ النَّاسُ!

14 You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.

14 أَنْتُمْ نُورُ الْعَالَمِ. لَا يُمْكِنُ أَنْ تُخْفَى مَدِينَةٌ مَبْنِيَّةٌ عَلَى جَبَلٍ؛

15 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.

15 وَلا يُضِيءُ النَّاسُ مِصْبَاحاً ثُمَّ يَضَعُونَهُ تَحْتَ مِكْيَالٍ، بَلْ يَضَعُونَهُ فِي مَكَانٍ مُرْتَفِعٍ لِيُضِيءَ لِجَمِيعِ مَنْ فِي الْبَيْتِ.

16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

16 هكَذَا، فَلْيُضِئْ نُورُكُمْ أَمَامَ النَّاسِ، لِيَرَوْا أَعْمَالَكُمُ الْحَسَنَةَ وَيُمَجِّدُوا أَبَاكُمُ الَّذِي فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ.

17 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.

17 لَا تَظُنُّوا أَنِّي جِئْتُ لأُلْغِيَ الشَّرِيعَةَ أَوِ الأَنْبِيَاءَ. مَا جِئْتُ لأُلْغِيَ، بَلْ لأُكَمِّلَ.

18 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.

18 فَالْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِلَى أَنْ تَزُولَ الأَرْضُ وَالسَّمَاءُ، لَنْ يَزُولَ حَرْفٌ وَاحِدٌ أَوْ نُقْطَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ مِنَ الشَّرِيعَةِ، حَتَّى يَتِمَّ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ.

19 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.

19 فَأَيُّ مَنْ خَالَفَ وَاحِدَةً مِنْ هَذِهِ الْوَصَايَا الصُّغْرَى، وَعَلَّمَ النَّاسَ أَنْ يَفْعَلُوا فِعْلَهُ، يُدْعَى الأَصْغَرَ فِي مَلَكُوتِ السَّمَاوَاتِ. وَأَمَّا مَنْ عَمِلَ بِها وَعَلَّمَهَا، فَيُدْعَى عَظِيماً فِي مَلَكُوتِ السَّمَاوَاتِ.

20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

20 فَإِنِّي أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنْ لَمْ يَزِدْ صَلاحُكُمْ عَلَى صَلاحِ الْكَتَبَةِ والْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ، فَلَنْ تَدْخُلُوا مَلَكُوتَ السَّمَاوَاتِ أَبَداً.

21 You have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not murder’ and ‘Anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’

21 سَمِعْتُمْ أَنَّهُ قِيلَ لِلأَقْدَمِينَ: لَا تَقْتُلْ! وَمَنْ قَتَلَ يَسْتَحِقُّ الْمُحَاكَمَةَ.

22 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.

22 أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَقُولُ لَكُمْ: كُلُّ مَنْ يَغْضَبُ عَلَى أَخِيهِ، يَسْتَحِقُّ الْمُحَاكَمَةَ؛ وَمَنْ يَقُولُ لأَخِيهِ: يَا تَافِهُ! يَسْتَحِقُّ الْمُثُولَ أَمَامَ الْمَجْلِسِ الأَعْلَى؛ وَمَنْ يَقُولُ: يَا أَحْمَقُ! يَسْتَحِقُّ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ!

23 So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you,

23 فَإِذَا جِئْتَ بِتَقْدِمَتِكَ إِلَى الْمَذْبَحِ، وَهُنَاكَ تَذَكَّرْتَ أَنَّ لأَخِيكَ شَيْئاً عَلَيْكَ،

24 leave your gift there before the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.

24 فَاتْرُكْ تَقْدِمَتَكَ أَمَامَ الْمَذْبَحِ، وَاذْهَبْ أَوَّلاً وَصَالِحْ أَخَاكَ، ثُمَّ ارْجِعْ وَقَدِّمْ تَقْدِمَتَكَ.

25 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.

25 سَارِعْ إِلَى اسْتِرْضَاءِ خَصْمِكَ وَأَنْتَ مَعَهُ فِي الطَّرِيقِ إِلَى الْمَحْكَمَةِ، قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسَلِّمَكَ الْخَصْمُ إِلَى الْقَاضِي، فَيُسَلِّمَكَ الْقَاضِي إِلَى الشُّرَطِيِّ، فَيُلْقِيَكَ فِي السِّجْنِ.

26 Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.

26 وَالْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكَ إِنَّكَ لَنْ تَخْرُجَ مِنَ السِّجْنِ حَتَّى تُوْفِيَ الْفَلْسَ الأَخِيرَ!

27 You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’

27 وَسَمِعْتُمْ أَنَّهُ قِيلَ: لَا تَزْنِ!

28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

28 أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَقُولُ لَكُمْ: كُلُّ مَنْ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى امْرَأَةٍ بِقَصْدِ أَنْ يَشْتَهِيَهَا، فَقَدْ زَنَى بِها فِي قَلْبِهِ!

29 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.

29 فَإِنْ كَانَتْ عَيْنُكَ الْيُمْنَى فَخّاً لَكَ، فَاقْلَعْهَا وَارْمِهَا عَنْكَ، فَخَيْرٌ لَكَ أَنْ تَفْقِدَ عُضْواً مِنْ أَعْضَائِكَ وَلا يُطْرَحَ جَسَدُكَ كُلُّهُ فِي جَهَنَّمَ!

30 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.

30 وَإِنْ كَانَتْ يَدُكَ الْيُمْنَى فَخّاً لَكَ، فَاقْطَعْهَا وَارْمِهَا عَنْكَ، فَخَيْرٌ لَكَ أَنْ تَفْقِدَ عُضْواً مِنْ أَعْضَائِكَ وَلا يُطْرَحَ جَسَدُكَ كُلُّهُ فِي جَهَنَّمَ!

31 It has also been said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’

31 وَقِيلَ أَيْضاً: مَنْ طَلَّقَ زَوْجَتَهُ، فَلْيُعْطِهَا وَثِيقَةَ طَلاقٍ.

32 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.

32 أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَقُولُ لَكُمْ: كُلُّ مَنْ طَلَّقَ زَوْجَتَهُ لِغَيْرِ عِلَّةِ الزِّنَى، فَهُوَ يَجْعَلُهَا تَرْتَكِبُ الزِّنَى. وَمَنْ تَزَوَّجَ بِمُطَلَّقَةٍ، فَهُوَ يَرْتَكِبُ الزِّنَى.

33 Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.’

33 وَسَمِعْتُمْ أَنَّهُ قِيلَ لِلأَقْدَمِينَ: لَا تُخَالِفْ قَسَمَكَ، بَلْ أَوْفِ لِلرَّبِّ مَا نَذَرْتَهُ لَهُ.

34 But I tell you not to swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;

34 أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لَا تَحْلِفُوا أَبَداً، لَا بِالسَّمَاءِ لأَنَّهَا عَرْشُ اللهِ،

35 or by the earth, for it is His footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

35 وَلا بِالأَرْضِ لأَنَّهَا مَوْطِئُ قَدَمَيْهِ، وَلا بِأُورُشَلِيمَ لأَنَّهَا مَدِينَةُ الْمَلِكِ الأَعْظَمِ.

36 Nor should you swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black.

36 وَلا تَحْلِفْ بِرَأْسِكَ لأَنَّكَ لَا تَقْدِرُ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ شَعْرَةً وَاحِدَةً فِيهَا بَيْضَاءَ أَوْ سَوْدَاءَ.

37 Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ Anything more comes from the evil one.

37 لِيَكُنْ كَلامُكُمْ: نَعَمْ، إِنْ كَانَ نَعَمْ؛ أَوْ: لا، إِنْ كَانَ لا. وَمَا زَادَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ مِنَ الشِّرِّيرِ.

38 You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.’

38 وَسَمِعْتُمْ أَنَّهُ قِيلَ: عَيْنٌ بِعَيْنٍ وَسِنٌّ بِسِنٍّ.

39 But I tell you not to resist an evil person. If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also;

39 أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لَا تُقَاوِمُوا الشَّرَّ بِمِثْلِهِ، بَلْ مَنْ لَطَمَكَ عَلَى خَدِّكَ الأَيْمَنِ، فَأَدِرْ لَهُ الْخَدَّ الآخَرَ؛

40 if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well;

40 وَمَنْ أَرَادَ مُحَاكَمَتَكَ لِيَأْخُذَ ثَوْبَكَ، فَاتْرُكْ لَهُ رِدَاءَكَ أَيْضاً؛

41 and if someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.

41 وَمَنْ سَخَّرَكَ أَنْ تَسِيرَ مِيلاً، فَسِرْ مَعَهُ مِيلَيْنِ.

42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

42 مَنْ طَلَبَ مِنْكَ شَيْئاً، فَأَعْطِهِ. وَمَنْ جَاءَ يَقْتَرِضُ مِنْكَ، فَلا تَرُدَّهُ خَائِباً!

43 You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor’ and ‘Hate your enemy.’

43 وَسَمِعْتُمْ أَنَّهُ قِيلَ: تُحِبُّ قَرِيبَكَ وَتُبْغِضُ عَدُوَّكَ.

44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

44 أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَقُولُ لَكُمْ: أَحِبُّوا أَعْدَاءَكُمْ، وَبَارِكُوا لاعِنِيكُمْ، وَأَحْسِنُوا مُعَامَلَةَ الَّذِينَ يُبْغِضُونَكُمْ، وَصَلُّوا لأَجْلِ الَّذِينَ يُسِيئُونَ إِلَيْكُمْ وَيَضْطَهِدُونَكُمْ،

45 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.

45 فَتَكُونُوا أَبْنَاءَ أَبِيكُمُ الَّذِي فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ: فَإِنَّهُ يُشْرِقُ بِشَمْسِهِ عَلَى الأَشْرَارِ وَالصَّالِحِينَ، وَيُمْطِرُ عَلَى الأَبْرَارِ وَغَيْرِ الأَبْرَارِ.

46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Do not even tax collectors do the same?

46 فَإِنْ أَحْبَبْتُمُ الَّذِينَ يُحِبُّونَكُمْ، فَأَيَّةُ مُكَافَأَةٍ لَكُمْ؟ أَمَا يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى جُبَاةُ الضَّرَائِبِ؟

47 And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even Gentiles do the same?

47 وَإِنْ رَحَّبْتُمْ بِإِخْوَانِكُمْ فَقَطْ، فَأَيَّ شَيْءٍ فَائِقٍ لِلْعَادَةِ تَفْعَلُونَ؟ أَمَا يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى الْوَثَنِيُّونَ؟

48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

48 فَكُونُوا أَنْتُمْ كَامِلِينَ، كَمَا أَنَّ أَبَاكُمُ السَّمَاوِيَّ هُوَ كَامِلٌ!
