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

¹Ary Jesosy, nony nahita ny vahoaka, dia niakatra teo an-tendrombohitra; ary rehefa tafapetraka Izy, dia nanatona Azy ny mpianany.

²He opened his mouth and taught them, saying,

²Dia niloa-bava Izy ka nampianatra azy hoe:

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

³Sambatra ny malahelo am-panahy; fa azy ny fanjakan'ny lanitra.

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

⁴Sambatra ny ory; fa izy no hampifalina.

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

⁵Sambatra ny malemy fanahy; fa izy no handova ny tany (Sal. 37. 11).

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

⁶Sambatra ny noana sy mangetaheta ny fahamarinana; fa izy no hovokisana.

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

⁷Sambatra ny miantra; fa izy no hiantrana.

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

⁸Sambatra ny madio am-po; fa izy no hahita an'Andriamanitra,

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

⁹Sambatra ny mpampihavana; fa izy no hatao hoe zanak'Andriamanitra.

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

¹⁰Sambatra izay enjehina noho ny fahamarinana; fa azy ny fanjakan'ny lanitra.

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

¹¹Sambatra ianareo, raha haratsin'ny olona sy enjehiny ary asiany izay teny ratsy rehetra hitenenany lainga anareo noho ny amiko.

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.

¹²Mifalia sy miravoravoa ianareo, fa lehibe ny valim-pitianareo any an-danitra; fa toy izany ihany no nanenjehany ny mpaminany izay talohanareo.

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.

¹³Hianareo no fanasin'ny tany; fa raha ny fanasina no tonga matsatso, inona indray no hahasira azy? Tsy misy heriny hanaovana na inona na inona intsony izy, fa hariana any ivelany ka hohitsahin'ny olona.

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

¹⁴Hianareo no fahazavan'izao tontolo izao. Tsy azo afenina izay tanàna miorina eo an-tampon-tendrombohitra.

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.

¹⁵Ary koa, tsy misy olona mandrehitra jiro ka mametraka azy ao ambanin'ny vata famarana, fa apetrany eo amin'ny fanaovan-jiro, ka dia mazava amin'izay rehetra ao an-trano izany.

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

¹⁶Aoka hazava eo imason'ny olona toy izany koa ny fahazavanareo, mba hahitany ny asa soa ataonareo ka hankalazany ny Rainareo Izay any an-danitra.

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

¹⁷Aza ataonareo fa tonga Aho handrava ny lalàna na ny mpaminany; tsy tonga Aho handrava, fa hanatanteraka.

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.

¹⁸Fa lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa: Mandra-pahafoan'ny lanitra sy ny tany, dia tsy hisy ho foana akory amin'ny lalàna, na dia litera iray na tendron-tsoratra iray aza, mandra-pahatanterak'izy rehetra.[Dia yod, izay litera kely indrindra amin'ny Abidy Hebreo]

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.

¹⁹Ary amin'izany na zovy na zovy no mamaha ny anankiray amin'ireo didy madinika indrindra ireo ka mampianatra ny olona toy izany, dia hatao hoe kely indrindra amin'ny fanjakan'ny lanitra izy. Fa na zovy na zovy no mankatò sy mampianatra ireo dia izy no hatao hoe lehibe amin'ny fanjakan'ny lanitra.

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.

²⁰Fa lazaiko aminareo: Raha tsy mihoatra noho ny an'ny mpanora-dalàna sy ny Fariseo ny fahamarinanareo, dia tsy hiditra amin'ny fanjakan'ny lanitra mihitsy ianareo.

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.’

²¹Efa renareo fa voalaza tamin'ny ntaolo hoe: Aza mamono olona (Eks. 20. 13); ary izay mamono olona dia miendrika hohelohina amin'ny fitsarana.

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

²²Fa Izaho kosa milaza aminareo hoe: Izay rehetra tezitra amin'ny rahalahiny dia miendrika hohelohina amin'ny fitsarana; ary na zovy na zovy no hanao amin'ny rahalahiny hoe: Olom-poana ianao, dia miendrika hohelohina amin'ny Synedriona; ary na zovy na zovy no hanao hoe: Foka ialahy, dia miendrika ho ao amin'ny helo mirehitra afo. [Na: tezitra foana] [Gr. Gehena]

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

²³Ary amin'izany, raha mitondra ny fanatitrao ho eo amin'ny alitara ianao, ary eo no mahatsiaro fa ny rahalahinao manana alahelo aminao,

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.

²⁴dia avelao eo anoloan'ny alitara ny fanatitrao, ka mandehana aloha, ataovy izay hihavananao amin'ny rahalahinao, ary rehefa miverina, dia vao atero ny fanatitrao.

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.

²⁵Mihavàna faingana amin'ilay manana ady aminao, raha mbola miara-dia aminy ianao, fandrao ilay manana ady aminao hanolotra anao amin'ny mpitsara, ary ny mpitsara kosa hanolotra anao amin'ny mpamatotra, ka hatao ao an-tranomaizina ianao.

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.

²⁶Lazaiko aminao marina tokoa: Tsy ho afaka ao mihitsy ianao, ambara-pandoanao ny variraiventy farany indrindra.

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

²⁷Efa, renareo fa voalaza hoe: Aza mijangajanga (Eks. 20. 14).

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.

²⁸Fa Izaho kosa milaza aminareo fa izay rehetra mijery vehivavy hila azy dia efa nijangajanga taminy tam-pony sahady.

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

²⁹Fa raha ny masonao ankavanana no manafintohina anao, dia esory hiala iny, ka ario ho afaka aminao; fa mahasoa anao na dia very aza ny iray momba ny tenanao, ka tsy ny tenanao rehetra no hariana any amin'ny helo.[Ny teny Grika adika hoe manafintohina amin'ny Testamenta Vaovao, dia mamandrika no tena dikany]

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

³⁰Ary raha ny tananao ankavanana no manafintohina anao, dia tapaho Izy, ka ario ho afaka aminao; fa mahasoa anao na dia very aza ny iray momba ny tenanao, ka tsy ny tenanao rehetra no ho lasa ho any amin'ny helo.

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

³¹Ary voalaza hoe: Na zovy na zovy no misaotra ny vadiny, dia aoka izy hanome an-dravehivavy taratasy fisaoram-bady (Deo. 24. 1).

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.

³²Fa Izaho kosa milaza aminareo hoe: Izay rehetra misaotra ny vadiny afa-tsy noho ny fijangajangana ihany dia mampijangajanga azy; ary na zovy na zovy no manambady izay voasaotra, dia mijangajanga.

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,’

³³Ary koa, efa renareo fa voalaza tamin'ny ntaolo hoe: Aza mianian-tsy tò, fa efao amin'i Jehovah ny fianiananao (Lev. 19. 12).

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

³⁴Fa Izaho kosa milaza aminareo hoe: Aza mianiana akory na amin'ny lanitra, fa seza fiandrianan'Andriamanitra izany;

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.

³⁵na amin'ny tany, fa fitoeran-tongony izany; na amin'i Jerosalema, fa tanànan'ny Mpanjaka lehibe izany.

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

³⁶Aza mianiana amin'ny lohanao; fa tsy mahay mahafotsy na mahamainty na dia singam-bolo iray akory aza ianao.

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

³⁷Fa aoka ny teninareo ho Eny, eny; Tsia, tsia; fa izay mihoatra noho izany dia avy amin'ny ratsy.[Na amin'ilay ratsy]

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

³⁸Efa renareo fa voalaza hoe: Maso solon'ny maso, ary nify solon'ny nify (Eks. 21. 24).

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.

³⁹Fa Izaho kosa milaza aminareo hoe: Aza manohitra izay manisy ratsy anareo; fa na zovy na zovy no mamely tahamaina ny takolakao ankavanana, atolory azy koa ny anankiray.

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

⁴⁰Ary izay te hiady aminao ka tahaka ny akanjonao, dia avelao ho azy koa ny lambanao.

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

⁴¹Ary na zovy na zovy no hanery anao handeha maily iray, mandehana miaraka aminy maily roa.[Na: kilometatra]

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

⁴²Omeo izay mangataka aminao; ary aza ilaoza-mihodina izay te hisambotra aminao.

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 ’

⁴³Efa renareo fa voalaza hoe: Tiava ny namanao (Lev. 19. 18), ary mankahalà ny fahavalonao.

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,

⁴⁴Fa Izaho kosa milaza aminareo hoe: Tiava ny fahavalonareo, ary mivavaha ho an'izay manenjika anareo,

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.

⁴⁵mba ho tonga zanaky ny Rainareo Izay any an-danitra ianareo; fa Izy mampiposaka ny masoandrony amin'ny ratsy fanahy sy ny tsara fanahy ary mampilatsaka ny ranonorana amin'ny marina sy ny tsy marina.

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

⁴⁶Fa raha izay tia anareo ihany no tianareo, inona no valim-pitia azonareo? Moa na dia ny mpamory hetra aza tsy mba manao izany koa va?

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?

⁴⁷Ary raha ny rahalahinareo ihany no arahabainareo, inona no ataonareo mihoatra noho ny sasany? Moa na dia ny jentilisa aza tsy mba manao toy izany ihany va?Koa amin izany aoka ho tanteraka ianareo toy ny fahatanterahan'ny Rainareo Izay any an-danitra.

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

⁴⁸Koa amin izany aoka ho tanteraka ianareo toy ny fahatanterahan'ny Rainareo Izay any an-danitra.
