5:1 Yeshua’s sermon on the hillside

(Luke 6:20-23)

5After seeing all the crowds, Yeshua climbed up a hill, and when he sat down, his apprentices approached him 2and he taught them:

3Those who are poor in the spirit are blessed, because the kingdom of the heavens is theirs.

4[ref]Those who are mourning are blessed, because they will be comforted.

5[ref]Those who are gentle are blessed, because they will inherit the earth.

6[ref]Those who are hungry and thirsty to obey God are blessed, because they will be satisfied.

7Those who are merciful are blessed, because they will receive mercy.

8[ref]Those who have pure hearts are blessed, because they will see God.

9Those who are peacemakers are blessed, because they will be called children of God.

10[ref]Those who are persecuted for being godly are blessed, because the kingdom of heavens belongs to them.

11[ref]Everyone who is derided or chased or lied about is blessed, along with those who have evil things said about them just because they follow me. 12[ref]Be happy and praising God because you’ll all have a wonderful reward in the heavens, because in the past they also persecuted the prophets like that.

5And having_seen the crowds, he_went_up on the mountain, and him having_sat_down, the apprentices/followers of_him approached to_him.
2And having_opened_up the mouth of_him, he_was_teaching them saying, 3Blessed are the poor in_the spirit, because to_them is the kingdom of_the heavens.
4Blessed are the ones mourning, because they will_be_being_comforted.
5Blessed are the gentle, because they will_be_inheriting the earth.
6Blessed are the ones hungering and thirsting the for_righteousness, because they will_be_being_satisfied.
7Blessed are the merciful, because they will_be_being_shown_mercy.
8Blessed are the pure the in_heart, because they will_be_seeing the god.
9Blessed are the peacemaking, because they will_be_being_called sons of_god.
10Blessed are the ones having_been_persecuted on_account righteousness, because to_them is the kingdom of_the heavens.
11Blessed are_you_all whenever they_may_deride you_all and may_pursue and lying, they_may_say all evil against you_all on_account of_me.
12Be_rejoicing and be_exulting, because the reward of_you_all is great in the heavens, because/for thus they_persecuted the prophets which before you_all.

5:13 Being salt and light

(Mark 9:50, Luke 14:34-35)

13[ref]You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt is made tasteless, what would you all use to salt your food? The salt wouldn’t be useful for anything anymore and would just get thrown out and trampled on by the people.

14[ref]You are the light of the world. A city up on a hill can’t be hidden. 15[ref]No one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket—you put it on a lampstand and it lightens up the house. 16[ref]In the same way, let your light shine in front of everyone, so that they can see your good behaviour and then might praise your father in the heavens.

13You_all are the salt of_the earth, but if the salt may_be_made_tasteless, with what it_will_be_being_salted?
It_is_being_effective for nothing anymore, except not/lest having_been_throw out, to_be_being_trampled by the people.
14You_all are the light of_the world.
A_city lying on a_mountain is_ not _able to_be_hidden.
15And_not they_are_lighting a_lamp and are_putting it under the a_basket, but on the lampstand, and it_is_shining for_all the ones in the house.
16Thus let_ the light of_you_all _shine before the people, so_that they_may_see the good works of_you_all, and may_glorify the father of_you_all which in the heavens.

5:17 Mosheh’ law won’t be broken

17Don’t imagine that I came to criticise the prophets or Mosheh’ law. I didn’t come to oppose the scriptures, but to fulfil them, 18[ref]because I can assure you all that until heaven and earth reach their end, not one letter or mark will be taken away from the law until everything is fulfilled. 19Therefore anyone who breaks even a minor commandment and teaches others to do the same, will be seen as one of the least in the kingdom of the heavens, but anyone who practices and teaches the law will be considered outstanding in the kingdom. 20Let me tell all of you, unless you’re more godly than the teachers of the law and the Pharisees, there’s no way that you’ll get to enter the kingdom of the heavens.

17You_all_may_ not _think that I_came to_tear_down the law or the prophets, I_came not to_tear_down, but to_fulfill.
18For/Because truly I_am_saying to_you_all, until the heaven and the earth wishfully may_pass_away, one Iota or one serif by_no_means may_ not _pass_away from the law, until wishfully all things may_become.
19Therefore if whoever may_break the least one of_these of_the commands, and may_teach the people thus, will_be_being_called least in the kingdom of_the heavens, but whoever wishfully may_practice and may_teach, this one will_be_being_called great in the kingdom of_the heavens.
20For/Because I_am_saying to_you_all that if the righteousness of_you_all not may_be_plentiful more of_the scribes and Farisaios_party, by_no_means you_all_may_ not _come_in into the kingdom of_the heavens.

5:21 Teaching about murder and anger

21[ref]You all heard that your ancestors were told not to murder because any murderer will be sentenced. 22But I’m telling you that anyone who gets angry at another will be liable for judgement, and anyone who calls another person a numbskull will have to face the court, and if you call them a fool, you’re liable for hellfire. 23So if you’re there at the altar to offer your gift and remember that someone has something against you, 24leave your gift there at the altar and go and sort that out first, before coming back to offer your gift.

25Resolve things with your opponent as soon as you can, hopefully while you’re still on the way to the court, in case your opponent turns you in to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and then you’ll end up in prison. 26I can assure you that you won’t get out of prison until the fine is completely paid.

21You_all_heard that it_was_said to_the ancients:
You will_ not _be_murdering, and whoever, wishfully may_murder, will_be liable to_the judgment.
22But I am_saying to_you_all that everyone which being_angered by_the brother of_him, will_be liable to_the judgment, and whoever wishfully may_say to_the brother of_him:
Raca, will_be liable to_the council, and whoever wishfully may_say:
Foolish, will_be liable to the geenna of_ the _fire.
23Therefore if you_may_be_offering the gift of_you at the altar, and_there you_may_be_reminded that the brother of_you is_having something against you, 24leave the gift of_you there before the altar.
And be_going_away, first be_reconciled to_the brother of_you, and then having_come, be_offering the gift of_you.
25Be agreeing with_the opponent of_you quickly, as_long_as which you_are with him on the way, lest the opponent may_give_ you _over to_the judge, and the judge to_the attendant, and you_will_be_being_thrown into prison.
26Truly I_am_saying to_you, by_no_means you_may_ not _come_out from_there, until wishfully you_may_give_back the last quadran.

5:27 Teaching about adultery and lust

27[ref]You all know that the scriptures say not to commit adultery, 28but I’m telling you that if you look at a woman lustfully then you’ve already committed adultery in your mind. 29[ref]If your right eye is causing you to stumble, then pluck it out and throw it away 30[ref]

27You_all_heard that it_was_said:
You will_ not _be_committing_adultery.
28But I am_saying to_you_all that everyone which looking at_a_woman in_order that to_lust for_her, already committed_adultery with_her in the heart of_him.
29And if the the right eye of_you is_stumbling you, pluck_ it _out and throw it from you, because/for it_is_benefitting for_you that one of_the members of_you may_perish, and not all the body of_you may_be_thrown into geenna.
30And if the right hand of_you is_stumbling you, cut_off it and throw it from you, because/for it_is_benefitting for_you that one of_the members of_you may_perish, and not all the body of_you may_go_away into geenna.

5:31 Teaching about divorce

(Mat. 19:9, Mark 10:11-12, Luke 16:18)

31[ref]It’s said that any man can divorce his wife just by sending her away. 32[ref]But I’m telling you all that anyone who sends his wife away, except in the case where she’s committed sexual immorality, is causing her to commit adultery, and anyone who marries a wife that’s been sent away, is causing her to be committing adultery.

31And it_was_said:
Whoever wishfully may_send_away the wife of_him, let_him_give divorce to_her.
32But I am_saying to_you_all that everyone which sending_away the wife of_him, except on_account of_sexual_immorality, is_making her to_be_committing_adultery, and whoever may_marry if having_been_sent_ her _away, is_causing_adultery.

5:33 Teaching about oaths and honesty

33[ref]Also you’ve heard that it was said to our ancestors that you shouldn’t break your oath, but you must do whatever you promised to the master. 34[ref]But I’m telling you not to make oaths in the first place—don’t swear by heaven because it’s God’s throne, 35[ref]nor by the earth because it’s God’s footrest, nor by Jerusalem because it’s the supreme king’s city. 36And don’t swear by your own strength because you can’t even make one strand of hair grow a different colour. 37Just say ‘yes’ when you commit to doing something, and ‘no’ when you don’t, because going beyond that is actually evil.

33Again you_all_heard that it_was_said to_the ancients:
You will_ not _be_perjuring, but you_will_be_giving_back to_the master the oaths of_you.
34But I am_saying to_you_all not to_ actually _swear, neither by the heaven, because it_is the_throne of_ the _god, 35nor by the earth, because it_is the_footstool of_the feet of_him, nor in Hierousalaʸm/(Yərūshālayim), because it_is the_city of_the great king, 36nor may_you_swear by the head of_you, because you_are_ not _being_able to_make one hair white.
or black.
37But let_be the statement of_you_all, yes be yes, no be no, and the additional than these things is from the evil.

5:38 Teaching about being taken advantage of

(Luke 6:29-30)

38[ref]You’ve all heard it said that it’s an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, 39but I’m telling you not to resist those who want to hurt you. If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn your left cheek towards them, 40and to the person suing you in court and claiming your robe, let them have your coat as well. 41And if someone forces you to walk a mile, walk two miles with them. 42Give whatever others request from you and don’t turn away from anyone who wants to borrow from you.

38You_all_heard that it_was_said:
Eye for an_eye and tooth for a_tooth.
39But I am_saying to_you_all, not to_resist against_the evil, but whoever is_slapping you you on the right cheek, of_you turn to_him also the other, 40and to_the one willing you to_be_judged and to_take the tunic of_you, allow your coat to_him also, 41and whoever will_be_compelling you one mile, be_going with him two.
42Give to_the one requesting you, and you _may_ not _be_turned_away to_the one wanting to_borrow from you.

5:43 Love your enemies

(Luke 6:27-28)

43You’ve all heard it said it said that you should love your neighbour and hate your enemy, 44but I’m telling you all to love your enemies and to pray for anyone who’s persecuting you, 45so that all of you might become children of your father in the heavens, because he causes his sun to rise on both evil and good people and sends the rain for both godly and ungodly people. 46If you all just love people who love you, what reward would you expect for that? Don’t the tax collectors even do that? 47And if you’re only polite to your own circle, how is that achieving anything? Aren’t non-Jews just the same? 48[ref]Instead you all should aim to be perfect just like your heavenly father is perfect.


43You_all_heard that it_was_said:
You_will_be_loving the neighbor of_you, and you_will_be_hating the enemy of_you.
44But I am_saying to_you_all, be_loving the enemies of_you_all, and be_praying for the ones persecuting you_all, 45so_that you_all_may_become sons of_the father of_you_all who in the_heavens, because he_is_rising the sun of_him on evil and good, and is_raining on the_righteous and unrighteous.
46For/Because if you_all_may_love the ones loving you_all, what reward are_you_all_having?
Not also the tax_collectors are_doing the same?
47And if you_all_may_greet the brothers of_you_all only, what additional things are_you_all_doing?
Not also the pagans are_doing the same?
48Therefore you_all will_be perfect as the heavenly father of_you_all the is perfect.
