13 Yix ʼut lic qui rik i chac chique i winak waral chuwach i jyub taʼaj; ix pacha i atzʼam chi lic cu rik u chac chique. Xui-ri, i atzʼam, we xsach u jelal, ¿wach ʼuri u yijbaxic chic u jelal ca ʼanic? N-taj. Ile n-cu rik ta chic u chac; xa ca cʼak bic; toʼ ca wachʼalbex chic cumal i winak.

Iwilom ʼut wach oʼonom jun tinimit we ʼo tzam jyub; lic ʼalaj, n-ruwam ta rib. 15 Xak iwetaʼam, we jun cu tzij jun cantil, n-que u mina ta chuxeʼ jun cajon; n-ʼus taj we cruwaj. Are i cu ʼano, cu ya ʼan chicaj paja, man conojel que tzun na rumal.

17 Mi chʼob yix mok col in sacha u wach i ʼatbal tzij tzʼibtal can rumal i mam Moises ujer; mi tene ile, xak mi tene i qui cʼutunic can i ujer ajbil u tzij i Dios. Yin n-in ta aj sachol re ile. Xa in aj ʼanol re i usucʼ i tzij-le chiwach yix. 18 Katzij iri: tzʼakat cʼo i caj, i jyub taʼaj, n-ca sachsax ti u wach i ujer ʼatbal tzij, mi ta jubiʼ, mi ta jun tzʼib, mi ta pichʼ che jun ral tzʼib.

21 I tom yix i ʼatbal tzij bital chique iwatit imam ujer. “Mix camsanic,” bital chique, “man pachin jun ca camsanic, caʼat ni tzij ʼuri puwi,” xbix chique. 22 Xui-ri, yin quin bij ni usucʼ chiwe: pachin jun xa ca pe roywal che jun rachalal, xak ire caʼat ni tzij puwi. Xak pachin jun cu yoʼya i rachalal, ca yaʼ ni ire chiquiwach i nim laj nucʼbal tʼisbal. Xak we ʼo jun cu bij mal laj tzij che i rachalal, chu ʼana cwent ʼuri che rib, mok xa ca ʼe pa ʼaʼ rumal. 23 Rumal-i, we yet a cʼamom li jun a sipon col a ya chuwach i Dios, teʼuri we ca cʼun pa cʼux chi ʼo jun awachalal cu chʼobo ʼo a mac che, 24 cha canaj can ʼuri a sipon chila chuwach i altar, y jat ruʼ awachalal.

Queje chi ʼana ile, man ire n-cat u ya ta chuwach i ʼatbal tzij. Man i ʼatbal tzij cat u jach na piquiʼab i policía; teʼuri i policía cat u tzʼapij pa cárcel.

26 Katzij iri: n-cat el ta lok, cʼa ca toj ni ronojel a mult. (Rumal-i, weʼ chi chomaj iwib chiwach.)

I pixbanic xoʼon i Jesus chique i je cachijil quib

27 I tom yix wach cu bij i ʼatbal tzij re i mam Moises: “Ma kajsaj a ʼij ruʼ jun ixok, we n-awixokil taj,” cu bij. 28 Xui-ri, yin quin bij ni usucʼ chiwe: we ʼo jun lic cu takej jun ixok, man cu rayij u wach, xeʼel ʼuri pu cʼux xak jun ruʼ pacha i xmacun ruʼ. 29 Rumal-i, quin bij i tzij-i chiwe: we yet toʼ ca takej jun ixok y toʼ ca rayij u wach, mejor chawesaj a baʼwach y cha cʼaka bict Mas ʼutz queʼelok we xa are a baʼwach ca sacho, chuwach i ronojel a chʼacul ca ʼe pa ʼaʼ.

32 Xui-ri, yin quin bij ni usucʼ chiwe: jun, we cu jach can i rixokil, i ixok, we n-tu mac u ʼanom ruʼ jun chic achi, n-ʼus ta xu ʼan ʼuri i rachijil che. Queʼel ʼuri xa are u mac i rachijil che, we i ixok xcʼuli ruʼ jun chic achi; i u mac i ixok ʼo ʼuri chukul i achi chi jachawnak bic. Xak we ʼo jun achi ca cʼuli ruʼ jun ixok chi jachtal bi rumal i rachijil, i achi-le xak ca macun ʼuri chuwach i Dios.

Xak mi cuxtaj u bi i caj, man are u qʼuijibal i Dios, pa cu ʼat wi tzij. 35 Xak mi cuxtaj u bi i ulew, man are pa cu ya wi i rakan.

Are i chi ʼana, we ʼo jun cat u chʼay che juperaj a palaj, cha ya i juperaj chic che. 40 We ʼo jun ca ʼe pa ʼatbal tzij, man craj cu maj a camix, cha ya na ʼuri che, xak cha ya bi a chaquet che. 41 We ʼo jun coʼon pen chawe ca cʼam bi jun rekan pa jun kilómetro, yet ja ya che cʼa pa queb kilómetro.

Matthew 5

The Sermon on the Mount

5.1—7.29

1 Jesus saw the crowds and went up a hill, where he sat down. His disciples gathered round him,

2 and he began to teach them:

True Happiness

(Lk 6.20–23)

3  “Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor;
the Kingdom of heaven belongs to them!

4  Happy are those who mourn; t
God will comfort them!

5  Happy are those who are humble; t
they will receive what God has promised!

6  Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires; t
God will satisfy them fully!

7  Happy are those who are merciful to others;
God will be merciful to them!

8  Happy are the pure in heart; t
they will see God!

9  Happy are those who work for peace;
God will call them his children!

10  Happy are those who are persecuted because they do what God requires; t
the Kingdom of heaven belongs to them!
11  “Happy are you when people insult you and persecute you and tell all kinds of evil lies against you because you are my followers. t

12 Be happy and glad, for a great reward is kept for you in heaven. This is how the prophets who lived before you were persecuted.t

Salt and Light

(Mk 9.50; Lk 14.34–35)

13  “You are like salt for the whole human race. But if salt loses its saltiness, there is no way to make it salty again. It has become worthless, so it is thrown out and people trample on it.
14  “You are like light for the whole world. A city built on a hill cannot be hidden. t 15 No one lights a lamp and puts it under a bowl; instead he puts it on the lampstand, where it gives light for everyone in the house.t

16 In the same way your light must shine before people, so that they will see the good things you do and praise your Father in heaven.t

Teaching about the Law

17  “Do not think that I have come to do away with the Law of Moses and the teachings of the prophets. I have not come to do away with them, but to make their teachings come true. 18  Remember that as long as heaven and earth last, not the least point nor the smallest detail of the Law will be done away with — not until the end of all things. t t 19 So then, whoever disobeys even the least important of the commandments and teaches others to do the same, will be least in the Kingdom of heaven. On the other hand, whoever obeys the Law and teaches others to do the same, will be great in the Kingdom of heaven.

20 I tell you, then, that you will be able to enter the Kingdom of heaven only if you are more faithful than the teachers of the Law and the Pharisees in doing what God requires.

Teaching about Anger

(Lk 12.57–59)

21  “You have heard that people were told in the past, ‘Do not commit murder; anyone who does will be brought to trial.’ t 22 But now I tell you: whoever is angryt with his brother will be brought to trial, whoever calls his brother ‘You good-for-nothing!’ will be brought before the Council, and whoever calls his brother a worthless fool will be in danger of going to the fire of hell. 23 So if you are about to offer your gift to God at the altar and there you remember that your brother has something against you,

24 leave your gift there in front of the altar, go at once and make peace with your brother, and then come back and offer your gift to God.
25  “If someone brings a lawsuit against you and takes you to court, settle the dispute with him while there is time, before you get to court. Once you are there, he will hand you over to the judge, who will hand you over to the police, and you will be put in jail.

26  There you will stay, I tell you, until you pay the last penny of your fine.

Teaching about Adultery

27  “You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’ t 28 But now I tell you: anyone who looks at a woman and wants to possess her is guilty of committing adultery with her in his heart. 29 So if your right eye causes you to sin, take it out and throw it away! It is much better for you to lose a part of your body than to have your whole body thrown into hell.t

30 If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away! It is much better for you to lose one of your limbs than for your whole body to go to hell.t

Teaching about Divorce

(Mt 19.9; Mk 10.11–12; Lk 16.18)

31  “It was also said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a written notice of divorce.’ t

32 But now I tell you: if a man divorces his wife, for any cause other than her unfaithfulness, then he is guilty of making her commit adultery if she marries again; and the man who marries her commits adultery also.t

Teaching about Vows

33  “You have also heard that people were told in the past, ‘Do not break your promise, but do what you have vowed to the Lord to do.’ t 34 But now I tell you: do not use any vow when you make a promise. Do not swear by heaven, for it is God's throne;t 35 nor by earth, for it is the resting place for his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.t 36 Do not even swear by your head, because you cannot make a single hair white or black.

37 Just say ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ — anything else you say comes from the Evil One.

Teaching about Revenge

(Lk 6.29–30)

38  “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’ t 39 But now I tell you: do not take revenge on someone who wrongs you. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, let him slap your left cheek too. 40 And if someone takes you to court to sue you for your shirt, let him have your coat as well. 41 And if one of the occupation troops forces you to carry his pack one kilometre, carry it two kilometres.

42 When someone asks you for something, give it to him; when someone wants to borrow something, lend it to him.

Love for Enemies

(Lk 6.27–28, 32–36)

43  “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your friends, hate your enemies.’ t 44 But now I tell you: love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may become the children of your Father in heaven. For he makes his sun to shine on bad and good people alike, and gives rain to those who do good and to those who do evil. 46 Why should God reward you if you love only the people who love you? Even the tax collectors do that! 47 And if you speak only to your friends, have you done anything out of the ordinary? Even the pagans do that! 48 You must be perfect — just as your Father in heaven is perfect!t
