1Seeing the multitudes, he went up onto the mountain. When he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
1Mi gwala annect-nni n lɣaci, Sidna Ɛisa yuli ɣer wedrar iqqim. Inelmaden-is qeṛṛben ɣuṛ-es,
2He opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
2dɣa ibda isselmad-iten :
3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Isaiah 57:15; 66:2
3D iseɛdiyen wid ițeddun s neyya, aaxaṭer tagelda n igenwan d ayla-nsen !
4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Isaiah 61:2; 66:10,13
4D iseɛdiyen wid ițrun, axaṭer ad țwaṣebbṛen !
5 Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth. or, land. Psalm 37:11
5D iseɛdiyen wid ḥninen, aaxaṭer ad weṛten tamurt i sen-iwɛed Sidi Ṛebbi !
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.
6D iseɛdiyen wid illuẓen, iffuden lḥeqq, axaṭer ad ṛwun !
7 Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
7D iseɛdiyen wid yesɛan ṛṛeḥma deg wulawen-nsen, aaxaṭer ad iḥunn fell-asen Sidi Ṛebbi !
8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
8D iseɛdiyen wid iwumi yeṣfa wul, axaṭer ad walin Sidi Ṛebbi !
9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.
9D iseɛdiyen wid i d-isrusun talwit, aad țțusemmin d arraw n Sidi Ṛebbi !
10 Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
10D iseɛdiyen wid ițțuqehṛen ɣef lḥeqq, aaxaṭer ddewla igenwan d ayla-nsen !
11 “Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
11D iseɛdiyen ara tilim, m'ara kkun-regmen, mm'ara tețwaqehṛem, m'ara xedmen deg-wen lbaṭel ɣef ddemma-w.
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.
12Feṛḥet, ilit di lfeṛḥ, axaṭer ṛṛezq-nwen d ameqqran deg igenwan, aakka i țwaqehṛen lenbiya i kkun-id izwaren.
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.
13D kunwi i d lmelḥ n ddunit, lameɛna ma tṛuḥ-as lbenna i lmelḥ, s wacu ara s-ț-id-nerr ? Yelha kan ma nḍeggeṛ-it ɣer beṛṛa a t-rekkḍen yemdanen.
14 You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can’t be hidden.
14D kunwi i ț-țafat n ddunit ; taddart yellan ɣef wudrar ulamek ara teffer !
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.
15Akken daɣen, ur nceɛɛel ara taftilt iwakken a ț-nɣumm s kra, meɛna a ț-nessers ɣef lmeṣbeḥ, iwakken aț-țfeǧǧeǧ i wid akk yellan deg wexxam.
16 Even so, let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
16Akka i glaq aț-țecceɛceɛ tafat-nwen zdat yemdanen, iwakken ad walin lecɣal-nwen ilhan, yerna ad ḥemden Baba-twen yellan deg igenwan.
17 “Don’t think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I didn’t come to destroy, but to fulfill.
17Ɣuṛ-wat aț-țɣilem usiɣ-ed ad sseɣliɣ ayen i d-tenna ccariɛa d wayen i d-nnan lenbiya ! Ur d-usiɣ ara ad sseɣliɣ, lameɛna usiɣ-ed ad snekmaleɣ.
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.
18A wen-iniɣ tideț : skud mazal igenwan d lqaɛa, ula d yiwen wawal neɣ usekkil n ccariɛa ur imeḥḥu, alamma yedṛa wayen akk yuran deg-s.
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.
19Win ur nqudeṛ ara ula d yiwen n lameṛ amecṭuḥ n ccariɛa, yerna isselmad i wiyaḍ ad xedmen am nețța, ad ițwaḥseb d amecṭuḥ akk di tgelda n igenwan. MMa d win ixeddmen ayen i d-tenna ccariɛa, yerna isselmad i wiyaḍ ad xedmen akken, ad yili d ameqqran di tgelda n igenwan.
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.
20Axaṭer a wen-iniɣ, ma yella ur tuɣem ara awal i Sidi Ṛebbi akteṛ n wakken tețțaɣem awal i yimusnawen n ccariɛa d ifariziyen, ur tkeččmem ara tagelda n igenwan.
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.’
21Teslam daɣen s leqwanen i d- ițțunefken i lejdud-nneɣ : Ur tneqqeḍ ara tamgeṛt, WWin ara yenɣen tamgeṛṭ, ad iɛeddi di ccṛeɛ, ad ițwaḥkem fell-as.
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
22Ma d nekk a wen-iniɣ : kra n win ara izeɛfen ɣef gma-s, ad iɛeddi di ccṛeɛ. Win ara yinin i gma-s : « ay abuhal, » ad ibedd zdat wesqamu n ccraɛ. Win ara yinin i gma-s : « ay amehbul, » yuklal ad ikcem ɣer ǧahennama.
23 “If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you,
23M'ara tțedduḍ aț-țefkeḍ lweɛda i Sidi Ṛebbi, temmektaḍ-ed zdat n wemkan n iseflawen belli gma-k iṭṭef-ak cceḥna,
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.
24eǧǧ dinna lweɛda-nni, tṛuḥeḍ uqbel aț-ḍelbeḍ ssmaḥ i gma-k, d wamek ara tefkeḍ lweɛda-k i Sidi Ṛebbi.
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.
25Ma yella iḍlem-ik yiwen, tedduklem di sin ɣer wexxam n ccṛeɛ, ɣiwel msefham kečč yid-es deg ubrid, m'ulac axṣim-ik a k-yawi ɣer lḥakem, lḥakem a k-yefk i wɛessas, aɛessas-nni, a k-yerr ɣer lḥebs.
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.
26A k-iniɣ tideț : ur d-țeffɣeḍ ara syenna alamma txellṣeḍ aṣurdi aneggaru n ṭṭlaba-inek.
27 “You have heard that it was said, TR adds “to the ancients,” ‘You shall not commit adultery;’ Exodus 20:14
27Teslam belli qqaṛen-d : ur xeddem ara asekkak yeɛni zzna.
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.
28Lameɛna, nekkini a wen-d-iniɣ : win ara imuqlen tameṭṭut, imenna deg ul-is ad iznu yid-es, atan am akken izna yid-es.
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
29Daymi ma yella ț-țiṭ-ik tayeffust i k-ițawin ɣer leḥṛam, qleɛ-iț, ḍeggeṛ-iț akkin fell-ak. Axaṭer axiṛ-ak a k-iṛuḥ yiwen si lemfaṣel-ik wala aț-țkecmeḍ s lekmal-ik ɣer ǧahennama.
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
30Ma yella s ufus-ik ayeffus i txeddmeḍ leḥṛam, gzem-it, tḍegṛeḍ-t akkin fell-ak, axiṛ-ak a k-ixaṣ ufus wala ma tkecmeḍ s lekmal-ik ɣer ǧahennama.
31 “It was also said, ‘Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorce,’ Deuteronomy 24:1
31Qqaṛen-d daɣen : Win ara yebrun i tmeṭṭut-is, a s-yefk lkaɣeḍ n berru .
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.
32Lameɛna nekkini a wen-iniɣ : win ara yebrun i tmeṭṭut-is, yili ur tezni ara, d nețța i ț-iwelhen ɣer zzna ma tezweǧ d wayeḍ. Daɣen win yuɣen tameṭṭut innebran, ula d nețța yezna.
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,’
33Teslam daɣen s wayen i d-nnan i lejdud-nneɣ : Ur ḥennet ara, lameɛna ayen i tɛuhdeḍ s limin zdat Sidi Ṛebbi, ilaq a t-txedmeḍ.
34 but I tell you, don’t swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;
34Meɛna nekk a wen-iniɣ : ur țgallat ara maḍi ! Ur țgallat s igenni, axaṭer d amkan n lḥekma n Sidi Ṛebbi,
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.
35ur țgallat s lqaɛa axaṭer fell-as i gesrusu iḍaṛṛen-is, neɣ s Lquds imi ț-țamdint n ugellid ameqqran.
36 Neither shall you swear by your head, for you can’t make one hair white or black.
36Ur țgallat ara daɣen : « s yixef n uqeṛṛuy-nwen » axaṭer ur tezmirem ara aț-țerrem ula d yiwen wenẓad d aberkan neɣ d amellal.
37 But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No.’ Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.
37Init « ih » ma ilaq aț-ținim ih, neɣ « xaṭi » ma ilaq aț-ținim xaṭi ; ayen akk ara ternum d zzyada, s ɣuṛ Cciṭan i d-ițas.
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
38Teslam s wayen i d-qqaṛen : Tiṭ s tiṭ, tuɣmest s tuɣmest.
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.
39Meɛna nekk a wen-iniɣ : ma yella win i wen-ixedmen cceṛ ur țțarat ara țțaṛ. Ma iwwet-ik yiwen ɣer lḥenk ayeffus, sken-as lḥenk nniḍen.
40 If anyone sues you to take away your coat, let him have your cloak also.
40Ma yebɣa yiwen a k-isiweḍ ɣer ccṛeɛ iwakken a k-ikkes aqenduṛ-ik, rnu-yas ula d abeṛnus-ik.
41 Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.
41Ma yella iḥṛes-ik walebɛaḍ a s-tbibbeḍ taɛkumt azgen webrid-is, kečč awi-yas-ț armi d axxam.
42 Give to him who asks you, and don’t turn away him who desires to borrow from you.
42Efk-as ayen yeḥwaǧ i win i k-d-issutren, ur reggel ara ɣef win ibɣan ad yerḍel s ɣuṛ-ek.
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 ’
43Teslam i wayen i d-qqaṛen : Ḥemmel amdakkel-ik, tkeṛheḍ aɛdaw ik.
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,
44Nekk a wen-iniɣ : ḥemmlet iɛdawen-nwen i kkun ițqehhiṛen. BBarket wid i kkun-ineɛlen, xedmet lxiṛ i wid i kkun-ikeṛhen, dɛut s lxiṛ i wid i kkun-iḍelmen, akk-d wid i kkun-ițqehhiṛen.
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.
45S wakka ara d-tbanem d arraw n Baba-twen yellan deg igenwan, axaṭer nețța icṛeq-ed iṭij-is ama ɣef wid yelhan ama ɣef yemcumen, yețțak-ed ageffur ( lehwa ) ama i wid ixeddmen lxiṛ, ama i wid ixeddmen cceṛ.
46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Don’t even the tax collectors do the same?
46Ma yella tḥemmlem kan wid i kkun-iḥemmlen, d acu n lfayda ara tesɛum ? Ula d imekkasen n tebzert ( leɣṛama ) xeddmen akenni.
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?
47Ma yella tețțemsalamem d watmaten-nwen kan, d acu n lxiṛ i txedmem ? Ula d imednuben xeddmen akken.
48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
48Sfut ihi akken yeṣfa Baba-twen n igenwan.
