¹[] Ιδων δε τους οχλους, ανεβη εις το ορος και αφου εκαθησε, προσηλθον προς αυτον οι μαθηται αυτου,

¹Seeing the multitudes, he went up onto the mountain. When he had sat down, his disciples came to him.

²και ανοιξας το στομα αυτου εδιδασκεν αυτους, λεγων.

²He opened his mouth and taught them, saying,

³[] Μακαριοι οι πτωχοι τω πνευματι, διοτι αυτων ειναι η βασιλεια των ουρανων.

³ “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Isaiah 57:15; 66:2

⁴Μακαριοι οι πενθουντες, διοτι αυτοι θελουσι παρηγορηθη.

⁴ Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Isaiah 61:2; 66:10,13

⁵Μακαριοι οι πραεις, διοτι αυτοι θελουσι κληρονομησει την γην.

⁵ Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth. or, land. Psalm 37:11

⁶Μακαριοι οι πεινωντες και διψωντες την δικαιοσυνην, διοτι αυτοι θελουσι χορτασθη.

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

⁷Μακαριοι οι ελεημονες, διοτι αυτοι θελουσιν ελεηθη.

⁷ Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

⁸Μακαριοι οι καθαροι την καρδιαν, διοτι αυτοι θελουσιν ιδει τον Θεον.

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

⁹Μακαριοι οι ειρηνοποιοι, διοτι αυτοι θελουσιν ονομασθη υιοι Θεου.

⁹ Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.

¹⁰Μακαριοι οι δεδιωγμενοι ενεκεν δικαιοσυνης, διοτι αυτων ειναι η βασιλεια των ουρανων.

¹⁰ Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

¹¹Μακαριοι εισθε, οταν σας ονειδισωσι και διωξωσι και ειπωσιν εναντιον σας παντα κακον λογον ψευδομενοι ενεκεν εμου.

¹¹ “Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

¹²Χαιρετε και αγαλλιασθε, διοτι ο μισθος σας ειναι πολυς εν τοις ουρανοις· επειδη ουτως εδιωξαν τους προφητας τους προ υμων.

¹² Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

¹³[] Σεις εισθε το αλας της γης· εαν δε το αλας διαφθαρη, με τι θελει αλατισθη; εις ουδεν πλεον χρησιμευει ειμη να ριφθη εξω και να καταπατηται υπο των ανθρωπων.

¹³ “You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its flavor, with what will it be salted? It is then good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under the feet of men.

¹⁴Σεις εισθε το φως του κοσμου· πολις κειμενη επανω ορους δεν δυναται να κρυφθη·

¹⁴ You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can’t be hidden.

¹⁵ουδε αναπτουσι λυχνον και θετουσιν αυτον υπο τον μοδιον, αλλ' επι τον λυχνοστατην, και φεγγει εις παντας τους εν τη οικια.

¹⁵ Neither do you light a lamp, and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house.

¹⁶Ουτως ας λαμψη το φως σας εμπροσθεν των ανθρωπων, δια να ιδωσι τα καλα σας εργα και δοξασωσι τον Πατερα σας τον εν τοις ουρανοις.

¹⁶ Even so, let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

¹⁷[] Μη νομισητε οτι ηλθον να καταλυσω τον νομον η τους προφητας· δεν ηλθον να καταλυσω, αλλα να εκπληρωσω.

¹⁷ “Don’t think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I didn’t come to destroy, but to fulfill.

¹⁸Διοτι αληθως σας λεγω, εως αν παρελθη ο ουρανος και η γη, ιωτα εν η μια κεραια δεν θελει παρελθει απο του νομου, εωσου εκπληρωθωσι παντα.

¹⁸ For most certainly, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not even one smallest letter literally, iota or one tiny pen stroke or, serif shall in any way pass away from the law, until all things are accomplished.

¹⁹Οστις λοιπον αθετηση μιαν των εντολων τουτων των ελαχιστων και διδαξη ουτω τους ανθρωπους, ελαχιστος θελει ονομασθη εν τη βασιλεια των ουρανων· οστις δε εκτελεση και διδαξη, ουτος μεγας θελει ονομασθη εν τη βασιλεια των ουρανων.

¹⁹ Whoever, therefore, shall break one of these least commandments, and teach others to do so, shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven; but whoever shall do and teach them shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.

²⁰Επειδη σας λεγω οτι εαν μη περισσευση η δικαιοσυνη σας πλειοτερον της των γραμματεων και Φαρισαιων, δεν θελετε εισελθει εις την βασιλειαν των ουρανων.

²⁰ For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, there is no way you will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

²¹[] Ηκουσατε οτι ερρεθη εις τους αρχαιους, Μη φονευσης· οστις δε φονευση, θελει εισθαι ενοχος εις την κρισιν.

²¹ “You have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, ‘You shall not murder;’ Exodus 20:13 and ‘Whoever shall murder shall be in danger of the judgment.’

²²Εγω ομως σας λεγω οτι πας ο οργιζομενος αναιτιως κατα του αδελφου αυτου θελει εισθαι ενοχος εις την κρισιν· και οστις ειπη προς τον αδελφον αυτου Ρακα, θελει εισθαι ενοχος εις το συνεδριον· οστις δε ειπη Μωρε, θελει εισθαι ενοχος εις την γεενναν του πυρος.

²² But I tell you, that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause NU omits “without a cause”. shall be in danger of the judgment; and whoever shall say to his brother, ‘Raca “Raca” is an Aramaic insult, related to the word for “empty” and conveying the idea of empty-headedness. !’ shall be in danger of the council; and whoever shall say, ‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of the fire of Gehenna. or, Hell

²³Εαν λοιπον προσφερης το δωρον σου εις το θυσιαστηριον και εκει ενθυμηθης οτι ο αδελφος σου εχει τι κατα σου,

²³ “If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you,

²⁴αφες εκει το δωρον σου εμπροσθεν του θυσιαστηριου, και υπαγε πρωτον φιλιωθητι με τον αδελφον σου, και τοτε ελθων προσφερε το δωρον σου.

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

²⁵Ειρηνευσον με τον αντιδικον σου ταχεως, ενοσω εισαι καθ' οδον μετ' αυτου, μηποτε σε παραδωση ο αντιδικος εις τον κριτην και ο κριτης σε παραδωση εις τον υπηρετην, και ριφθης εις φυλακην·

²⁵ Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are with him in the way; lest perhaps the prosecutor deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be cast into prison.

²⁶αληθως σοι λεγω, δεν θελεις εξελθει εκειθεν, εωσου αποδωσης το εσχατον λεπτον.

²⁶ Most certainly I tell you, you shall by no means get out of there, until you have paid the last penny. literally, kodrantes. A kodrantes was a small copper coin worth about 2 lepta (widow’s mites)—not enough to buy very much of anything.

²⁷[] Ηκουσατε οτι ερρεθη εις τους αρχαιους, μη μοιχευσης.

²⁷ “You have heard that it was said, TR adds “to the ancients,” ‘You shall not commit adultery;’ Exodus 20:14

²⁸Εγω ομως σας λεγω οτι πας ο βλεπων γυναικα δια να επιθυμηση αυτην ηδη εμοιχευσεν αυτην εν τη καρδια αυτου.

²⁸ but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.

²⁹Εαν ο οφθαλμος σου ο δεξιος σε σκανδαλιζη, εκβαλε αυτον και ριψον απο σου· διοτι σε συμφερει να χαθη εν των μελων σου και να μη ριφθη ολον το σωμα σου εις την γεενναν.

²⁹ If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna. or, Hell

³⁰Και εαν η δεξια σου χειρ σε σκανδαλιζη, εκκοψον αυτην και ριψον απο σου· διοτι σε συμφερει να χαθη εν των μελων σου, και να μη ριφθη ολον το σωμα σου εις την γεενναν.

³⁰ If your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna. or, Hell

³¹Ερρεθη προς τουτοις οτι οστις χωρισθη την γυναικα αυτου, ας δωση εις αυτην διαζυγιον.

³¹ “It was also said, ‘Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorce,’ Deuteronomy 24:1

³²Εγω ομως σας λεγω οτι οστις χωρισθη την γυναικα αυτου παρεκτος λογου πορνειας, καμνει αυτην να μοιχευηται, και οστις λαβη γυναικα κεχωρισμενην, γινεται μοιχος.

³² but I tell you that whoever puts away his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is put away commits adultery.

³³[] Παλιν ηκουσατε οτι ερρεθη εις τους αρχαιους, Μη επιορκησης, αλλα εκπληρωσον εις τον Κυριον τους ορκους σου.

³³ “Again you have heard that it was said to them of old time, ‘You shall not make false vows, but shall perform to the Lord your vows,’

³⁴Εγω ομως σας λεγω να μη ομοσητε μηδολως· μητε εις τον ουρανον, διοτι ειναι θρονος του Θεου·

³⁴ but I tell you, don’t swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;

³⁵μητε εις την γην, διοτι ειναι υποποδιον των ποδων αυτου· μητε εις τα Ιεροσολυμα, διοτι ειναι πολις του μεγαλου βασιλεως·

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

³⁶μητε εις την κεφαλην σου να ομοσης, διοτι δεν δυνασαι μιαν τριχα να καμης λευκην η μελαιναν.

³⁶ Neither shall you swear by your head, for you can’t make one hair white or black.

³⁷Αλλ' ας ηναι ο λογος σας Ναι, Ου, υ· το δε πλειοτερον τουτων ειναι εκ του πονηρου.

³⁷ But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No.’ Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.

³⁸[] Ηκουσατε οτι ερρεθη, Οφθαλμον αντι οφθαλμου και οδοντα αντι οδοντος.

³⁸ “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’ Exodus 21:24; Leviticus 24:20; Deuteronomy 19:21

³⁹Εγω ομως σας λεγω να μη αντισταθητε προς τον πονηρον· αλλ' οστις σε ραπιση εις την δεξιαν σου σιαγονα, στρεψον εις αυτον και την αλλην·

³⁹ But I tell you, don’t resist him who is evil; but whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.

⁴⁰και εις τον θελοντα να κριθη μετα σου και να λαβη τον χιτωνα σου, αφες εις αυτον και το ιματιον·

⁴⁰ If anyone sues you to take away your coat, let him have your cloak also.

⁴¹και αν σε αγγαρευση τις μιλιον εν, υπαγε μετ' αυτου δυο.

⁴¹ Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.

⁴²Εις τον ζητουντα παρα σου διδε και τον θελοντα να δανεισθη απο σου μη αποστραφης.

⁴² Give to him who asks you, and don’t turn away him who desires to borrow from you.

⁴³[] Ηκουσατε οτι ερρεθη, θελεις αγαπα τον πλησιον σου και μισει τον εχθρον σου.

⁴³ “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor, Leviticus 19:18 and hate your enemy. not in the Bible, but see Qumran Manual of Discipline Ix, 21-26 ’

⁴⁴Εγω ομως σας λεγω, Αγαπατε τους εχθρους σας, ευλογειτε εκεινους, οιτινες σας καταρωνται, ευεργετειτε εκεινους, οιτινες σας μισουσι, και προσευχεσθε υπερ εκεινων, οιτινες σας βλαπτουσι και σας κατατρεχουσι,

⁴⁴ But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,

⁴⁵δια να γεινητε υιοι του Πατρος σας του εν τοις ουρανοις, διοτι αυτος ανατελλει τον ηλιον αυτου επι πονηρους και αγαθους και βρεχει επι δικαιους και αδικους.

⁴⁵ that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.

⁴⁶Διοτι εαν αγαπησητε τους αγαπωντας σας, ποιον μισθον εχετε; και οι τελωναι δεν καμνουσι το αυτο;

⁴⁶ For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Don’t even the tax collectors do the same?

⁴⁷και εαν ασπασθητε τους αδελφους σας μονον, τι περισσοτερον καμνετε; και οι τελωναι δεν καμνουσιν ουτως;

⁴⁷ If you only greet your friends, what more do you do than others? Don’t even the tax collectors NU reads “Gentiles” instead of “tax collectors”. do the same?

⁴⁸εστε λοιπον σεις τελειοι, καθως ο Πατηρ σας ο εν τοις ουρανοις ειναι τελειος.

⁴⁸ Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
