SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 5:1–7:29: Jesus preached a sermon on a mountain

For many years, English versions and Christians have commonly referred to Matthew 5–7 as “The Sermon on the Mount.” In some translations, it may be helpful to include a heading for chapters 5–7 that is on a level above the section heading for 5:1–12.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

The Sermon on the Mountain

The sermon that Jesus preached on a mountain

Jesus taught people on the side of a mountain/hill

5:43a

You have heard that it was said,

You have heard that it was said: These same words are found in 5:27a and 5:38a. Translate it here as you did there.

5:43b

‘Love your neighbor’ and ‘Hate your enemy.’

Love your neighbor: This part of the verse is a quote from the Old Testament (Leviticus 19:18). The Greek verb for Love is in the future tense, but is used as a command. It is also in the singular, but applies to all.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

Love(plur) your neighbor

You(sing)(plur) must love your neighbor

Everyone must love his neighbor

Love: The word Love in this context means to show kindness to someone and value him highly.

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

Care greatly for

Show great kindness toward

Treat very well

Be very concerned for

your neighbor: The Greek word that the BSB translates as neighbor originally referred to someone who lives nearby. In this context it refers to a fellow Jew.

Here are some other ways to translate “Love your neighbor”:

Love your countryman/fellowman

Show kindness to your own people

Love your friends (GNT)

Hate your enemy: This part of the verse is not a direct quote from the Old Testament. But the teachers of the law were teaching it as a command from God.

Hate: The verb Hate means to have strong dislike and hostility toward someone. Just as in “love” above, the Greek verb is in the future tense, but is used as a command. It is also in the singular.

enemy: An enemy is a person who hates and opposes you and may try to harm you physically or in some other way.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

Despise the one who wants to harm you(sing).

Do not love the one who opposes you(sing).

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐρρέθη

˱it˲_˓was˒_said

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [God commanded] or [Moses said]

Note 2 topic: writing-quotations

ὅτι ἐρρέθη

that ˱it˲_˓was˒_said

Here Jesus quotes from the Old Testament scriptures. The words Love your neighbor are from [Leviticus 19:18](../../lev/19/18.md). The words hate your enemy are what some people would say in addition to the quotation from the Old Testament. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could format these words in a different way and include this information in a footnote. Alternate translation: [people often quote the law by saying]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

ἀγαπήσεις τὸν πλησίον σου, καὶ μισήσεις τὸν ἐχθρόν σου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἠκούσατε ὅτι ἐρρέθη Ἀγαπήσεις τόν πλησίον σοῦ καί μισήσεις τόν ἐχθρόν σοῦ)

Since the author of the quotation is addressing each specific person who is part of God’s people, the command here is singular. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that makes this clear. Alternate translation: [Each of you, love your neighbor and hate your enemy]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

τὸν πλησίον σου & τὸν ἐχθρόν σου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἠκούσατε ὅτι ἐρρέθη Ἀγαπήσεις τόν πλησίον σοῦ καί μισήσεις τόν ἐχθρόν σοῦ)

The words neighbor and enemy represent neighbors and enemies in general, not one particular neighbor or enemy. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a more natural expression. Alternate translation: [each of your neighbors … each of your enemies]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὸν πλησίον σου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἠκούσατε ὅτι ἐρρέθη Ἀγαπήσεις τόν πλησίον σοῦ καί μισήσεις τόν ἐχθρόν σοῦ)

Here Jesus refers to any member of one’s community or group as a neighbor. He is not referring just to people who live nearby. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [your countrymen] or [everyone who belongs to your group]
