The Sermon on the Mount
1 Jesus saw the crowds and went up a hill, where he sat down. His disciples gathered around him, 2 and he began to teach them:
True Happiness
(Luke 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;
God will comfort them!
5 “Happy are those who are humble;
they will receive what God has promised!
6 “Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires;
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;
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;
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. 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.
Salt and Light
(Mark 9.50Luke 14.34Luke 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 hid. 15 No one lights a lamp and puts it under a bowl; instead it is put on the lampstand, where it gives light for everyone in the house. 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.
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. 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
21 “You have heard that people were told in the past, ‘Do not commit murder; anyone who does will be brought to trial.’ 22 But now I tell you: if you are angry with your brother you will be brought to trial, if you call your brother ‘You good-for-nothing!’ you will be brought before the Council, and if you call your brother a worthless fool you 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 while there is time, before you get to court. Once you are there, you will be turned 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.’ 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. 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 to have your whole body go off to hell.
Teaching about Divorce
(Matthew 19.9Mark 10.11Mark 12Luke 16.18)31 “It was also said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a written notice of divorce.’ 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.
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.’ 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; 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. 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
(Luke 6.29Luke 30)38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’ 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 mile, carry it two miles. 42 When someone asks you for something, give it to him; when someone wants to borrow something, lend it to him.
Love for Enemies
(Luke 6.27Luke 28Luke 32-36)43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your friends, hate your enemies.’ 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.

Kolna mōceiba.
1 Radzādams ļaužu pulkus, Jys uzkōpe kolnā un, kad atsasāda, klōtu pīgōja Jō mōcekli, 2 un Jys, atdarejis sovu muti, jūs mōceja, saceidams:
3 Svēteigi gorā nabadzeigī,
jo tūs ir dabasu vaļsteiba.
4 Svēteigi nūskumušī,
jo tī tiks īprīcynōti.
5 Svēteigi lānprōteigī,
jo jī īmontōs zemi.
6 Svēteigi olkstūšī un slōpstūšī pēc patīseibas,
jo jī tiks paseitynōti.
7 Svēteigi žālsirdeigī,
jo jī tiks apžālōti.
8 Svēteigi sirdsškeistī,
jo jī Dīvu redzēs.
9 Svēteigi mīra dareitōji,
jo jī tiks saukti par Dīva bārnim.
10 Svēteigi taisneibas dēļ vojōtī,
jo jūs ir dabasu vaļsteiba.
11 Svēteigi asat, kad jyusus manis dēļ nīvōs, vojōs un vysaidus ļaunumus nataisneigi par jums stōsteis. 12 Prīcojitēs un līgsmojit, jo jums ir lela olga dabasūs. Taipat ari pravīši tyka vojōti, kuri pyrms jums beja.
Mōcekļu uzdavums.
13 Jyus asat zemes sōļs. Jo sōļs zaudej syurumu, ar kū gon jū īsōleit? Jys nadar vairs nikam, — ir izmatams ōrā ļaužu sameišonai. 14 Jyus asat pasauļa gaisma. Uz kolna stōvūšais mīsts navar pasaslēpt. 15 Ari nikas, aizdedzis sveci, nalīk jōs zam sīka, bet gon uz luktura, lai visim, kas ir mōjā, speidātu. 16 Tai lai speid ļaudim jyusu gaisma, ka tī radzātu jyusu lobūs dorbus un slavātu jyusu Tāvu, kurs ir dabasūs.
Jaunō un Vacō Īstōdejuma atteiceibas.
17 Nadūmojit, ka Es asu lykuma un pravīšu atcaltu nōcis. Na atcaltu, bet izpiļdeitu atgōju. 18 Un, patīši, jums soku: koleidz debess un zeme naizniks, nivīns jots, ni zeimeite nu lykuma napazuss, cikom vyss izapiļdeis.
19 Tai tad, jo kas vīnu pīsacejumu, pat vysmozōkū, atcaltu un ļaudis tai mōceitu, tys dabasu vaļsteibā tiks saukts par vysmozōkū. Turpretim, kas jū izpiļdeis un tai mōceis, tys dabasu vaļsteibā tiks saukts par lelu. 20 Un es jums soku: jo jyusu taisneiba nabyus pōrōka par Rokstim mōceitūs un farizeju, dabasu vaļsteibā jyus naīīsit.
Pīktō bausleiba.
21 Jyus dzērdējot, ka seņčim beja saceits: Tev nabyus nūkaut; jo kas nūkautu, tys ir nūdūdams tīsai. 22 Bet Es jums soku: Ikvīns, kurs uz sova brōļa dusmojās, ir nūdūdams tīsai. Un, kas sovu brōli sauc raka, tys ir nūdūdams augstajai padūmei; kas sauc par bezdīvi, tys ir nūdūdams eļnes gunei. 23 Un, jo tu, sovu dōvonu atnesis pi oltora, tur īgōdōsi, ka tovam brōļam ir kaut kas pret tevi, 24 pamet tur, oltora prīškā, sovu dōvonu un pyrmōk ej un izleigsti ar sovu brōli un tik tūlaik atgōjis upurej sovu dōvonu. 25 Steidzīs sasamīrynōt ar sovu pretinīku, koleidz tu vēļ ar jū esi ceļā, ka gadīnī pretinīks tevis nanūdūtu tīsōtōjam, un tīsōtōjs — tīsas kolpam, un tu natyktu īmasts cītumā. 26 Patīši, tev soku, tu naizīsi nu turīnes, koleidz nanūmoksōsi pādejō santima.
Sastō bausleiba.
27 Jyus dzērdējot, ka (seņčim) beja saceits: Tev nabyus lauleibas pōrkōpt. 28 Bet Es jums soku: Ikvīns, kas vāroj sīvīti, lai jū īkōrōtu sovā sirdī, ar jū lauleibu jau ir pōrkōpis. 29 Jo tova lobō acs tevi īļaunoj, izrauņ jū un svīd nu sevis nūst; tev tadei byus lobōk, jo pazaudēsi vīnu vīn nu sovim lūceklim, na kai, ka vysa mīsa tiks īmasta eļnē. 30 Jo tova lobō rūka tevi īļaunoj, nūcērt jū un svīd nu sevis nūst; tev tadei byus lobōk, jo pazaudēsi vīnu vīn nu sovim lūceklim, na kai, ka vysa mīsa tiks īmasta eļnē.
31 Tai pat ir saceits: Jo kas grib atstōt sovu sīvu, lai dūd jai izaškēršonas rokstu. 32 Bet es jums soku: Ikvīns, kas, izjamūt lauleibas lauzšonas gadejumu, atstōj sovu sīvu, dora tū par lauleibas lauzēju; kas atstōtū precej, lauž lauleibu.
Zvārasts.
33 Tōļōk, jyus dzērdējot, ka seņčim ir saceits: Tev nabyus nataisneigi zvērēt. Un, — izpiļdi tū, kū Kungam esi zvērējis. 34 Bet Es jums soku: Nazvērejit pavysam, ni dabasus pīsaucūt, jo tī ir Dīva gūda krāsls, 35 ni zemi pīsaucūt, jo tei ir Jō kōju pamēslis, ni Jeruzalemu pīsaucūt, jo tei ir lelō kēneņa piļsāta; 36 nazvērej ari sovas golvas vōrdā, jo tu pat vīna mota navari padareit par boltu vai malnu. 37 Jyusu runai jōir: tai, tai — nā, nā. Kas pōri par tū, tys paīt nu ļauna.
Atrībeiba.
38 Jyus dzērdējot, ka ir saceits: aci par aci, zūbu par zūbu. 39 Bet Es jums soku: Ļaunumam nasapretojit, bet gon, jo kas tev īsystu par lobū byudu, arī ūtrū jam pagrīz. 40 Tam, kas grib ar tevi tīsōtīs un atjimt nu tevis svōrkus, ari mēteli atdūd. 41 Jo kas tevi pīspīstu īt sev leidza vīnu jyudzi, ej ar jū divi. 42 Lyudzējam dūd; tam, kas grib palīnēt, naatsoki.
Īnaidnīki jōmīļoj.
43 Jyus dzērdējot, ka ir saceits: Mīļoj sovu tyvōkū, bet sovu pretinīku īneisti. 44 Bet es jums soku: Mīļojit sovus pretinīkus, labi dorit tim, kas jyusus īneist, un lyudzitēs par tim, kas jyusus vojoj un apmaloj: 45 lai tai jyus toptu par dabasu Tāva bārnim, kurs sovai saulei līk uzlēkt lobajim un ļaunajim un leitu syuta taisneigim un grēcinīkim. 46 Jo jyus mīļōsit tikai tūs, kas jyusus mīļoj, kaids tad jums nu tō byus nūpalns? Vai tad muitinīki ari tō pat nadora? 47 Jo jyus sveicynōsit tikai sovus draugus, kū tad pōrōku izdorot? Vai tad ari pogōni tai pat nadora? 48 Esit tad piļneigi, kai piļneigs ir jyusu debeseigais Tāvs!
