¹But seeing the crowds, he went up into the mountain, and having sat down, his disciples came to him;

¹¶ 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:

²and, having opened his mouth, he taught them, saying,

²Na ka puaki tona mangai, a ka whakaako ia i a ratou, ka mea,

³Blessed [are] the poor in spirit, for *theirs* is the kingdom of the heavens.

³¶ Ka koa te hunga he rawakore nei te wairua: no ratou hoki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.

⁴Blessed they that mourn, for *they* shall be comforted.

⁴Ka koa te hunga e tangi ana: ka whakamarietia hoki ratou.

⁵Blessed the meek, for *they* shall inherit the earth.

⁵Ka koa te hunga ngakau mahaki: ka riro hoki i a ratou te whenua.

⁶Blessed they who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for *they* shall be filled.

⁶Ka koa te hunga e hiakai ana, e hiainu ana, ki te tika: e makona hoki ratou.

⁷Blessed the merciful, for *they* shall find mercy.

⁷Ka koa te hunga tohu tangata: e tohungia hoki ratou.

⁸Blessed the pure in heart, for *they* shall see God.

⁸Ka koa te hunga ngakau ma: e kite hoki ratou i te Atua.

⁹Blessed the peace-makers, for *they* shall be called sons of God.

⁹Ka koa te hunga hohou rongo: ka huaina hoki ratou he tamariki na te Atua.

¹⁰Blessed they who are persecuted on account of righteousness, for *theirs* is the kingdom of the heavens.

¹⁰Ka koa te hunga e whakatoia ana mo te tika: no ratou hoki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.

¹¹Blessed are ye when they may reproach and persecute you, and say every wicked thing against you, lying, for my sake.

¹¹Ka 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.

¹²Rejoice and exult, for your reward is great in the heavens; for thus have they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

¹²Kia 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 have become insipid, wherewith shall it be salted? It is no longer fit for anything but to be cast out and to be trodden under foot by men.

¹³¶ 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*Ye* are the light of the world: a city situated on the top of a mountain cannot be hid.

¹⁴Ko koutou te whakamarama o te ao. E kore e ngaro te pa e tu ana i runga maunga.

¹⁵Nor do [men] light a lamp and put it under the bushel, but upon the lamp-stand, and it shines for all who are in the house.

¹⁵E 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.

¹⁶Let your light thus shine before men, so that they may see your upright works, and glorify your Father who is in the heavens.

¹⁶Waihoki 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.

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

¹⁷¶ 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.

¹⁸For verily I say unto you, Until the heaven and the earth pass away, one iota or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law till all come to pass.

¹⁸He 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.

¹⁹Whosoever then shall do away with one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of the heavens; but whosoever shall practise and teach [them], *he* shall be called great in the kingdom of the heavens.

¹⁹Na, 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.

²⁰For I say unto you, that unless your righteousness surpass [that] of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of the heavens.

²⁰Ko 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.

²¹Ye have heard that it was said to the ancients, Thou shalt not kill; but whosoever shall kill shall be subject to the judgment.

²¹¶ 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.

²²But *I* say unto you, that every one that is lightly angry with his brother shall be subject to the judgment; but whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be subject to [be called before] the sanhedrim; but whosoever shall say, Fool, shall be subject to the penalty of the hell of fire.

²²Na 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.

²³If therefore thou shouldest offer thy gift at the altar, and there shouldest remember that thy brother has something against thee,

²³Na reira, ki te mauria e koe tau whakahere ki te aata, a ka mahara i reira i hara koe ki tou hoa;

²⁴leave there thy gift before the altar, and first go, be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

²⁴Waiho 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.

²⁵Make friends with thine adverse party quickly, whilst thou art in the way with him; lest some time the adverse party deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.

²⁵Kia 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.

²⁶Verily I say to thee, Thou shalt in no wise come out thence till thou hast paid the last farthing.

²⁶He pono taku e mea atu nei ki a koe, E kore rawa koe e puta i reira, kia utua ra ano te patene whakamutunga.

²⁷Ye have heard that it has been said, Thou shalt not commit adultery.

²⁷¶ Kua rongo koutou, i korerotia, Kaua e puremu:

²⁸But *I* say unto you, that every one who looks upon a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

²⁸Na 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.

²⁹But if thy right eye be a snare to thee, pluck it out and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members perish, and not thy whole body be cast into hell.

²⁹Ki 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.

³⁰And if thy right hand be a snare to thee, cut it off and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members perish, and not thy whole body be cast into hell.

³⁰Ki 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.

³¹It has been said too, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a letter of divorce.

³¹I korerotia ano, Ki te whakarere tetahi i tana wahine, me hoatu ki a ia tetahi pukapuka whakarere:

³²But *I* say unto you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, except for cause of fornication, makes her commit adultery, and whosoever marries one that is put away commits adultery.

³²Na 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.

³³Again, ye have heard that it has been said to the ancients, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt render to the Lord what thou hast sworn.

³³¶ Kua rongo ano koutou, i korerotia ki nga tupuna, Kaua e oati teka, engari me whakamana au oati ki te Ariki:

³⁴But *I* say unto you, Do not swear at all; neither by the heaven, because it is [the] throne of God;

³⁴Na ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Kaua rawa tetahi mea e oatitia; kaua te rangi, ko to te Atua torona hoki ia:

³⁵nor by the earth, because it is [the] footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, because it is [the] city of the great King.

³⁵Kaua hoki te whenua; ko te turanga hoki tera o ona waewae: kaua hoki a Hiruharama; ko te pa hoki tera o te Kingi nui.

³⁶Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.

³⁶Kaua ano e oatitia tou matenga, e kore hoki e ahei i a koe te mea kia ma tetahi makawe, kia mangu ranei.

³⁷But let your word be Yea, yea; Nay, nay; but what is more than these is from evil.

³⁷Erangi ko tenei hei kupu ma koutou, Ae, ae; Kahore, kahore: no te mea ki te maha atu i ena, no te kino.

³⁸Ye have heard that it has been said, Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.

³⁸¶ Kua rongo koutou i korerotia, He kanohi mo te kanohi, he niho mo te niho:

³⁹But *I* say unto you, not to resist evil; but whoever shall strike thee on thy right cheek, turn to him also the other;

³⁹Na 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.

⁴⁰and to him that would go to law with thee and take thy body coat, leave him thy cloak also.

⁴⁰A ki te mea tetahi kia whakawakia koe, ka tangohia tou koti, tukua atu hoki tou ngeri ki a ia.

⁴¹And whoever will compel thee to go one mile, go with him two.

⁴¹A ki te tonoa koe e tetahi kia haere kotahi te maero, kia rua au e haere tahi ai me ia.

⁴²To him that asks of thee give, and from him that desires to borrow of thee turn not away.

⁴²Hoatu 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.

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

⁴³¶ Kua rongo koutou i korerotia, Kia aroha ki tou hoa tata, kia kino hoki ki tou hoa whawhai:

⁴⁴But *I* say unto you, Love your enemies, [bless those who curse you,] do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who [insult you and] persecute you,

⁴⁴Na 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;

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

⁴⁵Kia 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.

⁴⁶For if ye should love those who love you, what reward have ye? Do not also the tax-gatherers the same?

⁴⁶Ki 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?

⁴⁷And if ye should salute your brethren only, what do ye extraordinary? Do not also the Gentiles the same?

⁴⁷A 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?

⁴⁸Be *ye* therefore perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect.

⁴⁸Na kia tika koutou, kia pera me to koutou Matua i te rangi e tika ana.
