Mattityahu 5:1-16

Mattityahu 5:1-16 TOJB2011

When Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach saw the multitudes, he ALAH HAHAR (went up the mountain) and when he sat down, his talmidim came to him. Then Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach began to speak, and gave them this torah (teaching), saying, Ashrey ANIYEI HARUACH (Blessed, Happy are the poor in spirit) for theirs is the Malchut HaShomayim. Ashrey are the AVELIM (the ones mourning), for they will be comforted. Ashrey are the ANAVIM (humble), for YIRESHU ARETZ (they will inherit the land). Ashrey are the ones hungering and thirsting for Tzidkat HASHEM (Tzedek Olamim, Everlasting Righteousness), for they will be satisfied. Ashrey are the merciful, for they will be shown rachamim (mercy). Ashrey are those of LEV TAHOR (pure heart), for they will see HASHEM. Ashrey are the peace-makers, for they will be called bnei haElohim (sons of G-d). Ashrey are the ones being persecuted because of Tzidkat HASHEM (righteousness), for theirs is the Malchut HaShomayim. Ashrey are you when they reproach you and persecute you and speak all kinds of lashon horah against you, speaking sheker (falsehood, lies) because of me. Have simcha (joy) and lev sameach (glad heart), for your sachar (reward) is great in Shomayim, for thus they persecuted the Neviim before you. You are the melach haaretz (salt of the earth), but if the salt becomes tasteless, in what way will it become salty again? It is no longer good for anything, but is thrown out and trampled by men. You are the Ohr HaOlam (the Light of the World). A city lying on a mountaintop cannot be nistar (hidden). No one, after lighting a menorah, places it under a measuring basket, but on the shulchan (table), and it gives ohr (light) to kol anshei habais (all in the house). In like manner, let your light so shine before Bnei Adam, that they may see your ma'asim tovim (good works) and give kavod (glory) to your Av shbaShomayim (Father in Heaven).
