Mattityahu 5
5
1When Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach saw the multitudes, he ALAH HAHAR#5:1 Ex 19:3 (went up the mountain) and when he sat down, his talmidim came to him.
2Then Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach began to speak, and gave them this torah (teaching), saying,
3Ashrey ANIYEI HARUACH#5:3 Isa 66:2 (Blessed, Happy are the poor in spirit) for theirs is the Malchut HaShomayim.
4Ashrey are the AVELIM#5:4 Isa 61:2 (the ones mourning), for they will be comforted.
5Ashrey are the ANAVIM#5:5 Isa 29:19; Zeph 2:3 (humble), for YIRESHU ARETZ#5:5 Ps 37:11 (they will inherit the land).
6Ashrey are the ones hungering and thirsting for Tzidkat Hashem#5:6 Dan 9:24 (Tzedek Olamim, Everlasting Righteousness), for they will be satisfied.
7Ashrey are the merciful, for they will be shown rachamim (mercy).
8Ashrey are those of LEV TAHOR#5:8 Ps 51:10 [12] (pure heart), for they will see Hashem.
9Ashrey are the peace-makers, for they will be called bnei haElohim (sons of G-d).
10Ashrey are the ones being persecuted because of Tzidkat Hashem#5:10 Dan 9:24 (righteousness), for theirs is the Malchut HaShomayim.
11Ashrey 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.#5:11 Moshiach
12Have simcha (joy) and lev sameach (glad heart), for your sachar (reward) is great in Shomayim, for thus they persecuted the Neviim before you.
13You 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.
14You are the Ohr HaOlam (the Light of the World). A city lying on a mountaintop cannot be nistar (hidden).
15No 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).
16In 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).
17Do not think that I came to abolish the Torah or the Neviim. I did not come to abolish but to complete.
18For, omein, truly I say to you, until Shomayim and haaretz pass away, not one yod, not one tag (ornamental flourish), will pass from the Torah until everything is accomplished.
19Therefore, whoever annuls one of the least of these mitzvot (divine commandments given by Hashemto Moshe Rabbenu) and so teaches Bnei Adam, shall be called katon (least) in the Malchut HaShomayim; but whoever practices and teaches them, this one will be called gadol (great) in the Malchut HaShomayim.
20For I say unto you that unless the Tzedek (Righteousness) of you exceeds that of the Sofrim and Perushim, you will certainly not enter the Malchut HaShomayim.
21You have heard that it was said to the ancients, LO TIRTZACH#5:21 Ex 20:13; Dt 5:17 (Do not murder), and every rotzeach (murderer) shall be liable before the Bet Din (Court).
22But I say to you, that everyone who harbors kaas (anger) against his Ach,#5:22 b'Moshiach his chaver, shall be subject to mishpat (judgment); and whoever shall say to his Ach,#5:22 b'Moshiach Reyka! (Good for nothing!) will be subject to the Sanhedrin; and whoever shall say Shoteh! (Fool) shall be subject to Eish Gehinnom (Fire of Hell).
23Therefore, if you bring your korban (sacrifice) to the Mizbeach (altar), and there you remember that your Ach#5:23 b'Moshiach has something against you,
24leave your korban there before the Mizbeach, and go and first be reconciled to your Ach;#5:24 b'Moshiach and then come offer your korban.
25Come to terms quickly with your ish riv (opponent in a lawsuit), while you are a fellow-traveler on the derech eretz, lest the ish riv might deliver you to the shofet (judge), and the shofet might deliver you to the shoter (law official), and the shoter might deliver you to the beit hasohar (prison house).
26For, omein, truly I say to you, you may never come out from there until you repay the last peruta (small coin).
27You have heard that it was said, LO TINAF#5:27 Ex 20:14 (Do not commit adultery).
28But I say to you that everyone looking upon a woman with taavah (lust) for her has already committed niuf (adultery) with her in his heart.
29And if your right eye causes you to commit chet (sin), tear it out and throw it from you, for it is better for you that one of your evarim (members) be lost and not your whole basar (body, flesh) be thrown into Gehinnom.
30And if your right hand causes you to commit chet, cut it off and throw it from you, for it is better for you that one of your evarim (members) be lost and not that your whole basar may go into Gehinnom.
31It was also said, Whoever divorces his wife, let him give to her a “get,” a SEFER KERITUT#5:31 Dt 24:1 (bill of divorce).
32But I say to you that everyone divorcing his wife, except for the DVAR#5:32 Dt 24:1 (indecent thing) of zenut (fornication), makes her become a noefet (adulteress), and whoever marries a gerusha (divorcee) commits niuf (adultery).
33Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients, You shall not break your nederim (vows), but you shall repay your vows to Hashem.#5:33 See Lv 19:12; Num 30:3; Dt 23:22
34But I say to you, Do not swear shevuot (oaths) at all, neither by Shomayim, for it is the kes malchut of Hashem (throne of G-d),
35nor by haaretz, for it is the hadom (footstool) of his feet, nor by Yerushalayim, for it is the kiryat melech rav#5:35 Ps 48:2[3] (city of the great king).
36Neither are you to swear by your rosh, for you are not able to make one hair turn white or black.
37But let your word be ken, ken (yes, yes) or lo, lo (no, no), but anything beyond this is lashon horah.
38You have heard that it was said, AYIN TAKHAT AYIN, SHEN TAKHAT SHEN#5:38 Ex 21:24 (An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth).
39But I say to you, Do not set yourself against the rasha (evil person), but whoever hits you on your right cheek, turn to him also the other cheek.
40And the one wishing to sue you and take your tunic, give to him also your kaftan.
41And whoever will force you to go one mile, go with him two.
42And the one asking you to give and the one wishing to borrow from you, from these do not turn away.
43You have heard that it was said, VAHAVTAH LREIACHAH#5:43 Lv 19:18 (You shall love your neighbor), and you shall hate your oyev (enemy).
44But I say to you, Love your enemies, and offer tefillos (prayers) for the ones bringing redifah (persecution) upon you.
45Do this so that you may become banim of your Av shbaShomayim, for His shemesh (sun) He makes to rise on the ra'im (evil ones) and the tovim (good ones), and He sends His geshem (rain) upon the tzaddikim (righteous ones) and the resha'im (unrighteous ones).
46For if you have ahavah (love) for the ones who have ahavah for you, what sachar (reward) do you have? Even the mochesim (tax collectors) do that, don't they?
47And if you give Drishat Shalom (greetings) only to your Achim,#5:47 b'Moshiach what extraordinary thing are you doing? Don't even the Goyim do the same?
48Therefore, be shlemim (complete), even as is your Av shbaShomayim.

Matthew 5
5
1 Then, seeing the crowds, he ascended the mountain, and when he had sat down, his disciples drew near to him,
2 and opening his mouth, he taught them, saying:
3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are the meek, for they shall possess the earth.
5 Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be consoled.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for justice, for they shall be satisfied.
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 sons of God.
10 Blessed are those who endure persecution for the sake of justice, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are you when they have slandered you, and persecuted you, and spoken all kinds of evil against you, falsely, for my sake:
12 be glad and exult, for your reward in heaven is plentiful. For so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
13 You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its saltiness, with what will it be salted? It is no longer useful at all, except to be cast out and trampled under by men.
14 You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden.
15 And they do not light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, so that it may shine to all who are in the house.
16 So then, let your light shine in the sight of men, so that they may see your good works, and may glorify your Father, who is in heaven.
17 Do not think that I have come to loosen the law or the prophets. I have not come to loosen, but to fulfill.
18 Amen I say to you, certainly, until heaven and earth pass away, not one iota, not one dot shall pass away from the law, until all is done.
19 Therefore, whoever will have loosened one of the least of these commandments, and have taught men so, shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever will have done and taught these, such a one shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 For I say to you, that unless your justice has surpassed that of the scribes and the Pharisees you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
21 You have heard that it was said to the ancients: 'You shall not murder; whoever will have murdered shall be liable to judgment.'
22 But I say to you, that anyone who becomes angry with his brother shall be liable to judgment. But whoever will have called his brother, 'Idiot,' shall be liable to the council. Then, whoever will have called him, 'Worthless,' shall be liable to the fires of Hell.
23 Therefore, if you offer your gift at the altar, and there you remember that your brother has something against you,
24 leave your gift there, before the altar, and go first to be reconciled to your brother, and then you may approach and offer your gift.
25 Be reconciled with your adversary quickly, while you are still on the way with him, lest perhaps the adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you will be thrown in prison.
26 Amen I say to you, that you shall not go forth from there, until you have repaid the last quarter.
27 You have heard that it was said to the ancients: 'You shall not commit adultery.'
28 But I say to you, that anyone who will have looked at a woman, so as to lust after her, has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
29 And if your right eye causes you to sin, root it out and cast it away from you. For it is better for you that one of your members perish, than that your whole body be cast into Hell.
30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it away from you. For it is better for you that one of your members perish, than that your whole body go into Hell.
31 And it has been said: 'Whoever would dismiss his wife, let him give her a bill of divorce.'
32 But I say to you, that anyone who will have dismissed his wife, except in the case of fornication, causes her to commit adultery; and whoever will have married her who has been dismissed commits adultery.
33 Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients: 'You shall not swear falsely. For you shall repay your oaths to the Lord.'
34 But I say to you, do not swear an oath at all, neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God,
35 nor by earth, for it is his footstool, nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great king.
36 Neither shall you swear an oath by your own head, because you are not able to cause one hair to become white or black.
37 But let your word 'Yes' mean 'Yes,' and 'No' mean 'No.' For anything beyond that is of evil.
38 You have heard that it was said: 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.'
39 But I say to you, do not resist one who is evil, but if anyone will have struck you on your right cheek, offer to him the other also.
40 And anyone who wishes to contend with you in judgment, and to take away your tunic, release to him your cloak also.
41 And whoever will have compelled you for one thousand steps, go with him even for two thousand steps.
42 Whoever asks of you, give to him. And if anyone would borrow from you, do not turn away from him.
43 You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor, and you shall have hatred for your enemy.'
44 But I say to you: Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you. And pray for those who persecute and slander you.
45 In this way, you shall be sons of your Father, who is in heaven. He causes his sun to rise upon the good and the bad, and he causes it to rain upon the just and the unjust.
46 For if you love those who love you, what reward will you have? Do not even tax collectors behave this way?
47 And if you greet only your brothers, what more have you done? Do not even the pagans behave this way?
48 Therefore, be perfect, even as your heavenly Father is perfect."
