Matteusarguðspjall 5
Icelandic Bible
5 Þegar hann sá mannfjöldann, gekk hann upp á fjallið. Þar settist hann, og lærisveinar hans komu til hans.
2 Þá lauk hann upp munni sínum, kenndi þeim og sagði:
3 "Sælir eru fátækir í anda, því að þeirra er himnaríki.
4 Sælir eru sorgbitnir, því að þeir munu huggaðir verða.
5 Sælir eru hógværir, því að þeir munu jörðina erfa.
6 Sælir eru þeir, sem hungrar og þyrstir eftir réttlætinu, því að þeir munu saddir verða.
7 Sælir eru miskunnsamir, því að þeim mun miskunnað verða.
8 Sælir eru hjartahreinir, því að þeir munu Guð sjá.
9 Sælir eru friðflytjendur, því að þeir munu Guðs börn kallaðir verða.
10 Sælir eru þeir, sem ofsóttir eru fyrir réttlætis sakir, því að þeirra er himnaríki.
11 Sælir eruð þér, þá er menn smána yður, ofsækja og ljúga á yður öllu illu mín vegna.
12 Verið glaðir og fagnið, því að laun yðar eru mikil á himnum. Þannig ofsóttu þeir spámennina, sem voru á undan yður.
13 Þér eruð salt jarðar. Ef saltið dofnar, með hverju á að selta það? Það er þá til einskis nýtt, menn fleygja því og troða undir fótum.
14 Þér eruð ljós heimsins. Borg, sem á fjalli stendur, fær ekki dulist.
15 Ekki kveikja menn heldur ljós og setja undir mæliker, heldur á ljósastiku, og þá lýsir það öllum í húsinu.
16 Þannig lýsi ljós yðar meðal mannanna, að þeir sjái góð verk yðar og vegsami föður yðar, sem er á himnum.
17 Ætlið ekki, að ég sé kominn til að afnema lögmálið eða spámennina. Ég kom ekki til að afnema, heldur uppfylla.
18 Sannlega segi ég yður: Þar til himinn og jörð líða undir lok, mun ekki einn smástafur eða stafkrókur falla úr lögmálinu, uns allt er komið fram.
19 Hver sem því brýtur eitt af þessum minnstu boðum og kennir öðrum það, mun kallast minnstur í himnaríki, en sá, sem heldur þau og kennir, mun mikill kallast í himnaríki.
20 Ég segi yður: Ef réttlæti yðar ber ekki af réttlæti fræðimanna og farísea, komist þér aldrei í himnaríki.
21 Þér hafið heyrt, að sagt var við forfeðurna: ,Þú skalt ekki morð fremja. Sá sem morð fremur, skal svara til saka fyrir dómi.`
22 En ég segi yður: Hver sem reiðist bróður sínum, skal svara til saka fyrir dómi. Sá sem hrakyrðir bróður sinn skal svara til saka fyrir ráðinu og hver sem svívirðir hann, hefur unnið til eldsvítis.
23 Sértu því að færa fórn þína á altarið og minnist þess þar, að bróðir þinn hefur eitthvað á móti þér,
24 þá skaltu skilja gjöf þína eftir fyrir framan altarið, fara fyrst og sættast við bróður þinn, koma síðan og færa fórn þína.
25 Vertu skjótur til sátta við andstæðing þinn, meðan þú ert enn á vegi með honum, til þess að hann selji þig ekki dómaranum í hendur og dómarinn þjóninum og þér verði varpað í fangelsi.
26 Sannlega segi ég þér: Eigi munt þú komast út þaðan, fyrr en þú hefur borgað síðasta eyri.
27 Þér hafið heyrt, að sagt var: ,Þú skalt ekki drýgja hór.`
28 En ég segi yður: Hver sem horfir á konu í girndarhug, hefur þegar drýgt hór með henni í hjarta sínu.
29 Ef hægra auga þitt tælir þig til falls, þá ríf það úr og kasta frá þér. Betra er þér, að einn lima þinna glatist, en öllum líkama þínum verði kastað í helvíti.
30 Ef hægri hönd þín tælir þig til falls, þá sníð hana af og kasta frá þér. Betra er þér, að einn lima þinna glatist, en allur líkami þinn fari til helvítis.
31 Þá var og sagt: ,Sá sem skilur við konu sína, skal gefa henni skilnaðarbréf.`
32 En ég segi yður: Hver sem skilur við konu sína, nema fyrir hórsök, verður til þess, að hún drýgir hór. Og sá sem gengur að eiga fráskilda konu, drýgir hór.
33 Enn hafið þér heyrt, að sagt var við forfeðurna: ,Þú skalt ekki vinna rangan eið, en halda skaltu eiða þína við Drottin.`
34 En ég segi yður, að þér eigið alls ekki að sverja, hvorki við himininn, því hann er hásæti Guðs,
35 né við jörðina, því hún er skör fóta hans, né við Jerúsalem, því hún er borg hins mikla konungs.
36 Og eigi skaltu sverja við höfuð þitt, því að þú getur ekki gjört eitt hár hvítt eða svart.
37 En þegar þér talið, sé já yðar já og nei sé nei. Það sem umfram er, kemur frá hinum vonda.
38 Þér hafið heyrt, að sagt var: ,Auga fyrir auga og tönn fyrir tönn.`
39 En ég segi yður: Rísið ekki gegn þeim, sem gerir yður mein. Nei, slái einhver þig á hægri kinn, þá bjóð honum einnig hina.
40 Og vilji einhver þreyta lög við þig og hafa af þér kyrtil þinn, gef honum eftir yfirhöfnina líka.
41 Og neyði einhver þig með sér eina mílu, þá far með honum tvær.
42 Gef þeim, sem biður þig, og snú ekki baki við þeim, sem vill fá lán hjá þér.
43 Þér hafið heyrt, að sagt var: ,Þú skalt elska náunga þinn og hata óvin þinn.`
44 En ég segi yður: Elskið óvini yðar, og biðjið fyrir þeim, sem ofsækja yður,
45 svo að þér reynist börn föður yðar á himnum, er lætur sól sína renna upp yfir vonda sem góða og rigna yfir réttláta sem rangláta.
46 Þótt þér elskið þá, sem yður elska, hver laun eigið þér fyrir það? Gjöra ekki tollheimtumenn hið sama?
47 Og hvað er það, þótt þér heilsið bræðrum yðar einum. Gjöra heiðnir menn ekki hið sama?
48 Verið þér því fullkomnir, eins og faðir yðar himneskur er fullkominn.

King James Version
Matthew 5
King James Version
5 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
21 Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
33 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.
41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

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)
