Matteo 5
La Nuova Diodati

5 Ed egli, vedendo le folle, salí sul monte e, come si fu seduto i suoi discepoli gli si accostarono.

2 Allora egli, aperta la bocca, li ammaestrava, dicendo:

3 «Beati i poveri in spirito, perché di loro è il regno dei cieli.

4 Beati coloro che fanno cordoglio perché saranno consolati.

5 Beati i mansueti, perché essi erediteranno la terra.

6 Beati coloro che sono affamati e assetati di giustizia, perché essi saranno saziati.

7 Beati i misericordiosi, perché essi otterranno misericordia.

8 Beati i puri di cuore, perché essi vedranno Dio.

9 Beati coloro che si adoperano per la pace, perché essi saranno chiamati figli di Dio.

10 Beati coloro che sono perseguitati a causa della giustizia, perché di loro è il regno dei cieli.

11 Beati sarete voi, quando vi insulteranno e vi perseguiteranno e, mentendo, diranno contro di voi ogni sorta di male per causa mia.

12 Rallegratevi e giubilate, perché il vostro premio è grande nei cieli, poiché cosí hanno perseguitato i profeti che furono prima di voi».

13 «Voi siete il sale della terra; ma se il sale diventa insipido, con che cosa gli si renderà il sapore? A null'altro serve che ad essere gettato via e ad essere calpestato dagli uomini.

14 Voi siete la luce del mondo; una città posta sopra un monte non può essere nascosta.

15 Similmente, non si accende una lampada per metterla sotto il moggio, ma sul candeliere, perché faccia luce a tutti coloro che sono in casa.

16 Cosí risplenda la vostra luce davanti agli uomini, affinché vedano le vostre buone opere e glorifichino il Padre vostro che è nei cieli».

17 «Non pensate che io sia venuto ad abrogare la legge o i profeti; io non sono venuto per abrogare, ma per portare a compimento.

18 Perché in verità vi dico: Finché il cielo e la terra non passeranno, neppure un iota, o un solo apice della legge passerà, prima che tutto sia adempiuto.

19 Chi dunque avrà trasgredito uno di questi minimi comandamenti e avrà cosí insegnato agli uomini, sarà chiamato minimo nel regno dei cieli; ma colui che li metterà in pratica e li insegnerà, sarà chiamato grande nel regno dei cieli.

20 Perciò io vi dico: Se la vostra giustizia non supera quella degli scribi, e dei farisei, voi non entrerete affatto nel regno dei cieli.

21 Voi avete udito che fu detto agli antichi: "Non uccidere" e: "Chiunque ucciderà, sarà sottoposto al giudizio";

22 ma io vi dico: Chiunque si adira contro suo fratello senza motivo, sarà sottoposto al giudizio; e chi avrà detto al proprio fratello: "Raca", sarà sottoposto al sinedrio; e chi gli avrà detto: stolto sarà sottoposto al fuoco della Geenna.

23 Se tu dunque stai per presentare la tua offerta all'altare, e lí ti ricordi che tuo fratello ha qualcosa contro di te,

24 lascia lí la tua offerta davanti all'altare e va' prima a riconciliarti con tuo fratello; poi torna e presenta la tua offerta.

25 Fa' presto un accordo amichevole con il tuo avversario, mentre sei sulla via con lui, che talora il tuo avversario non ti dia in mano del giudice e il giudice ti consegni alla guardia e tu sia messo prigione

26 In verità ti dico, che non uscirai di là finché tu non abbia pagato a l'ultimo centesimo.

27 Voi avete udito che fu detto agli antichi: "Non commettere adulterio"

28 Ma io vi dico che chiunque guarda una donna per desiderarla, ha già commesso adulterio con lei nel suo cuore.

29 Ora, se il tuo occhio destro ti è causa di peccato, cavalo e gettalo via da te perché è meglio per te che un tuo membro perisca, piuttosto che tutto il tuo corpo sia gettato nella Geenna;

30 e se la tua mano destra ti è causa di peccato, mozzala e gettala via da te, perché è meglio per te che un tuo membro perisca, piuttosto che tutto il tuo corpo sia gettato nella Geenna.

31 E' stato pure detto: "Chiunque ripudia la propria moglie, le dia l'atto del divorzio".

32 Ma io vi dico: Chiunque manda via la propria moglie, eccetto in caso di fornicazione, la fa essere adultera e chiunque sposa una donna ripudiata commette adulterio.

33 Avete inoltre udito che fu detto agli antichi: "Non giurare il falso; ma adempi le cose promesse con giuramento al Signore".

34 Ma io vi dico: Non giurate affatto, né per il cielo, perché è il trono di Dio.

35 né per la terra, perché è lo sgabello dei suoi piedi, né per Gerusalemme, perché è la città del gran Re.

36 Non giurare neppure per la tua testa, perché non hai il potere di fare bianco o nero un solo capello;

37 ma il vostro parlare sia: Sí, sí, no, no; tutto ciò che va oltre questo, viene dal maligno.

38 Voi avete udito che fu detto: "Occhio per occhio e dente per dente".

39 Ma io vi dico: Non resistere al malvagio; anzi, se uno ti percuote sulla guancia destra, porgigli anche l'altra,

40 e se uno vuol farti causa per toglierti la tunica, lasciagli anche il mantello.

41 E se uno ti costringe a fare un miglio, fanne con lui due.

42 Da' a chi ti chiede, e non rifiutarti di dare a chi desidera qualcosa in prestito da te.

43 Voi avete udito che fu detto: "Ama il tuo prossimo e odia il tuo nemico".

44 Ma io vi dico: Amate i vostri nemici, benedite coloro che vi maledicono, fate del bene a coloro che vi odiano, e pregate per coloro che vi maltrattano e vi perseguitano,

45 affinché siate figli del Padre vostro, che è nei cieli, poiché egli fa sorgere il suo sole sopra i buoni e sopra i malvagi e fa piovere sopra i giusti e sopra gli ingiusti.

46 Perché, se amate coloro che vi amano, che premio ne avrete? Non fanno altrettanto anche i pubblicani?

47 E se salutate soltanto i vostri fratelli, che fate di straordinario? Non fanno altrettanto anche i pubblicani?

48 Voi dunque siate perfetti, come è perfetto il Padre vostro, che è nei cieli».

Matthew 5
Worldwide English (New Testament)

5 When Jesus saw the many people, he went up on a hill. He sat down and his disciples came to him.

2 He began to teach the people.

3 He said, `God makes happy those who know that they need him. The kingdom of heaven is for them.

4 `God makes happy those who are sad. They will have comfort.

5 `God makes happy those who quietly trust him and do not try to get their own way. The world will belong to them.

6 `God makes happy those who are hungry and thirsty for what is right and good. They will be filled.

7 `God makes happy those who are kind. He will be kind to them.

8 `God makes happy those who have clean hearts. They will see God.

9 `God makes happy those who make peace between people. They will be called God's sons.

10 `God makes happy those who have trouble for doing what is right. The kingdom of heaven is for them.

11 `God makes you happy when people say wrong things about you, when they trouble you, and when they say all kinds of lies about you. God makes you happy when it is for my sake.

12 Be happy and glad because God will be good to you in heaven. In the same way people troubled the prophets before your time.'

13 `You are like salt in the world. If salt has lost its taste, how can it be made salty again? Salt that has no taste is good for nothing. The only thing to do is to throw it out on the road.

14 `You are like light in the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hidden.

15 So also with a lamp. People do not light a lamp and put it under a basket. But they put it on the place for a lamp. Then all the people in the house can see its light.

16 So, let your light shine to all people. Then they will see the good things you do. And they will praise your Father in heaven.'

17 `Do not think that I have come to take away the law and the writings of the prophets. No, I have not come to take them away. But I have come to do what they say must be done.

18 I tell you the truth. Until the sky and the earth are taken away, not one small part of the law will be taken away, until everything has been done.

19 So anyone who does not obey one of the smallest laws, and teaches other people not to obey it, will have the smallest part in the kingdom of heaven. But any one who obeys and teaches the law, will have a big part in the kingdom of heaven.

20 I tell you, you must do much better than the scribes and Pharisees. If you do not, then you will never go into the kingdom of heaven.'

21 `You have heard this said to men long ago, "Do not kill. Anyone who kills will be judged in court."

22 `But I tell you this. Anyone who is angry with his brother without having a good reason, will be judged in court. Anyone who says wrong things to his brother will be judged for it in the big court. Anyone who says "You fool!" will be judged to go into hell fire.

23 `Perhaps you are bringing your gift to God at his altar. There you remember that your brother has something against you.

24 If so, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First, go to your brother and make things right with him. Then come and give your gift to God.

25 `If someone wants to take you to court, make an agreement with him quickly on the way. If you do not, he will take you to the judge. The judge will give you to the guard, and the guard will put you in prison.

26 I tell you the truth, you will not get out of prison until you have paid every piece of money.'

27 `You have heard that the law says, "Do not commit adultery [have another man or woman who is not your husband or wife]."

28 But I tell you that if a man looks at a woman and he wants her, then he has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

29 `If your right eye makes you do wrong, take it out and throw it away. It is better to lose a part of your body, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.

30 If your right hand makes you do wrong, cut it off and throw it away. It is better to lose a part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell fire.

31 `The law said, "Any man who does not want to keep his wife must give her a paper to tell others she is no longer his wife."

32 But I tell you, no man may send away his wife unless she has committed adultery. If he does send her away, he is making her commit adultery. And if a man marries a woman who has been sent away from her husband, he commits adultery.'

33 `Also you have heard this said to men long ago, "You must not make a promise in God's name and break it." And, "You must do for the Lord what you said you would do."

34 `But I tell you, do not make a promise in God's name. Do not use the name of heaven, because that is where God rules.

35 Do not use the name of earth, because that is where God rests his feet. Do not use the name of Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great King.

36 Do not make a promise by your head, because you cannot make one hair of your head white or black.

37 You must mean "Yes" when you say "Yes". You must mean "No" when you say "No". To say anything more than that is wrong.'

38 `You have heard that the law says, "Take an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth."

39 But I tell you, do not fight with anyone who does wrong to you. But if someone hits you on one side of your face, turn the other side to him also.

40 `If anyone takes you to court to get your shirt, let him have your coat also.

41 If anyone wants you to help carry a load, go with him twice as far.

42 When someone asks you for something, give it to him. When someone wants to borrow something from you, let him have it.'

43 `You have heard that the law says, "Love your neighbour and hate your enemy."

44 But I tell you, love your enemies. Ask God to do good to those who trouble you.

45 In that way you will be sons of your Father in heaven. He makes his sun shine on both wrong and good people. He lets the rain fall on people who do right and on people who do wrong.

46 If you love only those who love you, what reward will you get? Even the tax collectors do that.

47 Do you speak to your brothers only? If so, you are not doing any better than other people. Even people who do not believe in God do that.

48 You must be good in every way, as your Father in heaven is good in every way.'

Matthew 5
New International Version

Introduction to the Sermon on the Mount

5 Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, 2 and he began to teach them.

The Beatitudes(A)

He said:

3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit,
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.(B)
4 Blessed are those who mourn,
    for they will be comforted.(C)
5 Blessed are the meek,
    for they will inherit the earth.(D)
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
    for they will be filled.(E)
7 Blessed are the merciful,
    for they will be shown mercy.(F)
8 Blessed are the pure in heart,(G)
    for they will see God.(H)
9 Blessed are the peacemakers,(I)
    for they will be called children of God.(J)
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,(K)
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.(L)

11 “Blessed are you when people insult you,(M) persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.(N) 12 Rejoice and be glad,(O) because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.(P)

Salt and Light

13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.(Q)

14 “You are the light of the world.(R) A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.(S) 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others,(T) that they may see your good deeds(U) and glorify(V) your Father in heaven.

The Fulfillment of the Law

17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.(W) 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.(X) 19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands(Y) and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.(Z)

Murder(AA)

21 “You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder,[a](AB) and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’ 22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry(AC) with a brother or sister[b][c] will be subject to judgment.(AD) Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, ‘Raca,’[d] is answerable to the court.(AE) And anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell.(AF)

23 “Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, 24 leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift.

25 “Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still together on the way, or your adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. 26 Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.

Adultery

27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’[e](AG) 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.(AH) 29 If your right eye causes you to stumble,(AI) gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to stumble,(AJ) cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.

Divorce

31 “It has been said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’[f](AK) 32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.(AL)

Oaths

33 “Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath,(AM) but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.’(AN) 34 But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all:(AO) either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;(AP) 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King.(AQ) 36 And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. 37 All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’;(AR) anything beyond this comes from the evil one.[g](AS)

Eye for Eye

38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’[h](AT) 39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.(AU) 40 And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. 41 If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. 42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.(AV)

Love for Enemies

43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor[i](AW) and hate your enemy.’(AX) 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,(AY) 45 that you may be children(AZ) of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.(BA) 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get?(BB) Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.(BC)
