Matthew 5

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

1 وَلَمَّا رَأَى ٱلْجُمُوعَ صَعِدَ إِلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ، فَلَمَّا جَلَسَ تَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ تَلَامِيذُهُ.

2 and He began to teach them, saying:

2 فَفَتَحَ فَاهُ وعَلَّمَهُمْ قَائِلًا:

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

3 «طُوبَى لِلْمَسَاكِينِ بِٱلرُّوحِ، لِأَنَّ لَهُمْ مَلَكُوتَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ.

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

4 طُوبَى لِلْحَزَانَى، لِأَنَّهُمْ يَتَعَزَّوْنَ.

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

5 طُوبَى لِلْوُدَعَاءِ، لِأَنَّهُمْ يَرِثُونَ ٱلْأَرْضَ.

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

6 طُوبَى لِلْجِيَاعِ وَٱلْعِطَاشِ إِلَى ٱلْبِرِّ، لِأَنَّهُمْ يُشْبَعُونَ.

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

7 طُوبَى لِلرُّحَمَاءِ، لِأَنَّهُمْ يُرْحَمُونَ.

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

8 طُوبَى لِلْأَنْقِيَاءِ ٱلْقَلْبِ، لِأَنَّهُمْ يُعَايِنُونَ ٱللهَ.

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

9 طُوبَى لِصَانِعِي ٱلسَّلَامِ، لِأَنَّهُمْ أَبْنَاءَ ٱللهِ يُدْعَوْنَ.

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

10 طُوبَى لِلْمَطْرُودِينَ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْبِرِّ، لِأَنَّ لَهُمْ مَلَكُوتَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ.

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 إِذَا عَيَّرُوكُمْ وَطَرَدُوكُمْ وَقَالُوا عَلَيْكُمْ كُلَّ كَلِمَةٍ شِرِّيرَةٍ، مِنْ أَجْلِي، 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، لِأَنَّ أَجْرَكُمْ عَظِيمٌ فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، فَإِنَّهُمْ هَكَذَا طَرَدُوا ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَبْلَكُمْ.

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 ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَلَكِنْ إِنْ فَسَدَ ٱلْمِلْحُ فَبِمَاذَا يُمَلَّحُ؟ لَا يَصْلُحُ بَعْدُ لِشَيْءٍ، إِلَّا لِأَنْ يُطْرَحَ خَارِجًا وَيُدَاسَ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ.

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

14 أَنْتُمْ نُورُ ٱلْعَالَمِ. لَا يُمْكِنُ أَنْ تُخْفَى مَدِينَةٌ مَوْضُوعَةٌ 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 وَلَا يُوقِدُونَ سِرَاجًا وَيَضَعُونَهُ تَحْتَ ٱلْمِكْيَالِ، بَلْ عَلَى ٱلْمَنَارَةِ فَيُضِيءُ لِجَمِيعِ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ.

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 فَلْيُضِئْ نُورُكُمْ هَكَذَا قُدَّامَ ٱلنَّاسِ، لِكَيْ يَرَوْا أَعْمَالَكُمُ ٱلْحَسَنَةَ، وَيُمَجِّدُوا أَبَاكُمُ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ.

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 لِأَنْقُضَ ٱلنَّامُوسَ أَوِ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءَ. مَا جِئْتُ لِأَنْقُضَ بَلْ لِأُكَمِّلَ.

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 فَإِنِّي ٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِلَى أَنْ تَزُولَ ٱلسَّمَاءُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ لَا يَزُولُ حَرْفٌ وَاحِدٌ أَوْ نُقْطَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ مِنَ ٱلنَّامُوسِ حَتَّى يَكُونَ ٱلْكُلُّ.

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 فَمَنْ نَقَضَ إِحْدَى هَذِهِ ٱلْوَصَايَا ٱلصُّغْرَى وَعَلَّمَ ٱلنَّاسَ هَكَذَا، يُدْعَى أَصْغَرَ فِي مَلَكُوتِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ. وَأَمَّا مَنْ عَمِلَ وَعَلَّمَ، فَهَذَا يُدْعَى عَظِيمًا فِي مَلَكُوتِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ.

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: إِنَّكُمْ إِنْ لَمْ يَزِدْ بِرُّكُمْ عَلَى ٱلْكَتَبَةِ وَٱلْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ لَنْ تَدْخُلُوا مَلَكُوتَ ٱلسَّماوَاتِ.

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

21 «قَدْ سَمِعْتُمْ أَنَّهُ قِيلَ لِلْقُدَمَاءِ: لَا تَقْتُلْ، وَمَنْ قَتَلَ يَكُونُ مُسْتَوْجِبَ ٱلْحُكْمِ.

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 وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَأَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَغْضَبُ عَلَى أَخِيهِ بَاطِلًا يَكُونُ مُسْتَوْجِبَ ٱلْحُكْمِ، وَمَنْ قَالَ لِأَخِيهِ: رَقَا، يَكُونُ مُسْتَوْجِبَ ٱلْمَجْمَعِ، وَمَنْ قَالَ: يا أَحْمَقُ، يَكُونُ مُسْتَوْجِبَ نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ.

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

23 فَإِنْ قَدَّمْتَ قُرْبَانَكَ إِلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ، وَهُنَاكَ تَذَكَّرْتَ أَنَّ لِأَخِيكَ شَيْئًا عَلَيْكَ،

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

24 فَٱتْرُكْ هُنَاكَ قُرْبَانَكَ قُدَّامَ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ، وَٱذْهَبْ أَوَّلًا ٱصْطَلِحْ مَعَ أَخِيكَ، وَحِينَئِذٍ تَعَالَ وَقَدِّمْ قُرْبَانَكَ.

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 كُنْ مُرَاضِيًا لِخَصْمِكَ سَرِيعًا مَا دُمْتَ مَعَهُ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ، لِئَلَّا يُسَلِّمَكَ ٱلْخَصْمُ إِلَى ٱلْقَاضِي، وَيُسَلِّمَكَ ٱلْقَاضِي إِلَى ٱلشُّرَطِيِّ، فَتُلْقَى فِي ٱلسِّجْنِ.

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

26 اَلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكَ: لَا تَخْرُجُ مِنْ هُنَاكَ حَتَّى تُوفِيَ ٱلْفَلْسَ ٱلْأَخِيرَ!

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

27 «قَدْ سَمِعْتُمْ أَنَّهُ قِيلَ لِلْقُدَمَاءِ: 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 وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَأَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى ٱمْرَأَةٍ لِيَشْتَهِيَهَا، فَقَدْ زَنَى بِهَا 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 ٱلْيُمْنَى تُعْثِرُكَ فَٱقْلَعْهَا وَأَلْقِهَا عَنْكَ، لِأَنَّهُ خَيْرٌ لَكَ أَنْ يَهْلِكَ أَحَدُ أَعْضَائِكَ وَلَا يُلْقَى 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 ٱلْيُمْنَى تُعْثِرُكَ فَٱقْطَعْهَا وَأَلْقِهَا عَنْكَ، لِأَنَّهُ خَيْرٌ لَكَ أَنْ يَهْلِكَ أَحَدُ أَعْضَائِكَ وَلَا يُلْقَى جَسَدُكَ كُلُّهُ فِي جَهَنَّمَ.

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

31 «وَقِيلَ: مَنْ طَلَّقَ ٱمْرَأَتَهُ فَلْيُعْطِهَا كِتَابَ طَلَاقٍ.

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 وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَأَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ مَنْ طَلَّقَ ٱمْرَأَتَهُ إلَّا لِعِلَّةِ ٱلزِّنَى يَجْعَلُهَا تَزْنِي، وَمَنْ يَتَزَوَّجُ مُطَلَّقَةً فَإِنَّهُ يَزْنِي.

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 «أَيْضًا سَمِعْتُمْ أَنَّهُ قِيلَ لِلْقُدَمَاءِ: لَا تَحْنَثْ، بَلْ أَوْفِ لِلرَّبِّ أَقْسَامَكَ.

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

34 وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَأَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لَا تَحْلِفُوا ٱلْبَتَّةَ، لَا بِٱلسَّمَاءِ لِأَنَّهَا كُرْسِيُّ ٱللهِ،

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

35 وَلَا بِٱلْأَرْضِ لِأَنَّهَا مَوْطِئُ قَدَمَيْهِ، وَلَا بِأُورُشَلِيمَ لِأَنَّهَا مَدِينَةُ ٱلْمَلِكِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ.

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

36 وَلَا تَحْلِفْ بِرَأْسِكَ، لِأَنَّكَ لَا تَقْدِرُ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ شَعْرَةً وَاحِدَةً بَيْضَاءَ أَوْ سَوْدَاءَ.

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

37 بَلْ لِيَكُنْ كَلَامُكُمْ: نَعَمْ نَعَمْ، لَا لَا. وَمَا زَادَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ مِنَ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ.

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

38 «سَمِعْتُمْ 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 وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَأَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لَا تُقَاوِمُوا ٱلشَّرَّ، بَلْ مَنْ لَطَمَكَ عَلَى خَدِّكَ ٱلْأَيْمَنِ فَحَوِّلْ لَهُ ٱلْآخَرَ أَيْضًا.

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

40 وَمَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُخَاصِمَكَ وَيَأْخُذَ ثَوْبَكَ فَٱتْرُكْ لَهُ ٱلرِّدَاءَ أَيْضًا.

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

41 وَمَنْ سَخَّرَكَ مِيلًا وَاحِدًا فَٱذْهَبْ مَعَهُ ٱثْنَيْنِ.

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

42 مَنْ سَأَلَكَ فَأَعْطِهِ، وَمَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَقْتَرِضَ مِنْكَ فَلَا تَرُدَّهُ.

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

43 «سَمِعْتُمْ أَنَّهُ قِيلَ: تُحِبُّ قَرِيبَكَ وَتُبْغِضُ عَدُوَّكَ.

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

44 وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَأَقُولُ لَكُمْ: أَحِبُّوا أَعْدَاءَكُمْ. بَارِكُوا لَاعِنِيكُمْ. أَحْسِنُوا إِلَى مُبْغِضِيكُمْ، وَصَلُّوا لِأَجْلِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُسِيئُونَ إِلَيْكُمْ وَيَطْرُدُونَكُمْ،

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 لِكَيْ تَكُونُوا أَبْنَاءَ أَبِيكُمُ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، فَإِنَّهُ يُشْرِقُ شَمْسَهُ عَلَى ٱلْأَشْرَارِ وَٱلصَّالِحِينَ، وَيُمْطِرُ عَلَى ٱلْأَبْرَارِ وَٱلظَّالِمِينَ.

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

46 لِأَنَّهُ إِنْ أَحْبَبْتُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ يُحِبُّونَكُمْ، فَأَيُّ أَجْرٍ لَكُمْ؟ أَلَيْسَ ٱلْعَشَّارُونَ أَيْضًا يَفْعَلُونَ ذَلِكَ؟

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

47 وَإِنْ سَلَّمْتُمْ عَلَى إِخْوَتِكُمْ فَقَطْ، فَأَيَّ فَضْلٍ تَصْنَعُونَ؟ أَلَيْسَ ٱلْعَشَّارُونَ أَيْضًا يَفْعَلُونَ هَكَذَا؟

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

48 فَكُونُوا أَنْتُمْ كَامِلِينَ كَمَا أَنَّ أَبَاكُمُ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ هُوَ كَامِلٌ.
