1Kwathi ebona amaxuku wenyukela entabeni. Esehlezi phansi, abafundi bakhe beza kuye;

2wasevula umlomo wakhe, wabafundisa, wathi:

3Babusisiwe abayanga emoyeni; ngoba umbuso wamazulu ungowabo.

4Babusisiwe abalilayo; ngoba bona bazaduduzwa.

5Babusisiwe abamnene; ngoba bona bazakudla ilifa lomhlaba.

6Babusisiwe abalambela labomela ukulunga; ngoba bona bazasuthiswa.

7Babusisiwe abalesihawu; ngoba bona bazahawukelwa.

8Babusisiwe abamhlophe ngenhliziyo; ngoba bona bazabona uNkulunkulu.

9Babusisiwe abalamulayo; ngoba bona bazathiwa ngabantwana bakaNkulunkulu.

10Babusisiwe abazingelwayo ngenxa yokulunga; ngoba umbuso wamazulu ungowabo.

11Lina libusisiwe, nxa belithuka belizingela, bekhuluma okubi konke bemelana lani beqamba amanga, ngenxa yami;

12thokozani lithabe kakhulu, ngoba umvuzo wenu mkhulu emazulwini; ngoba ngokunjalo babazingela abaprofethi abalandulelayo.

13Lina lilitswayi lomhlaba; kodwa uba itswayi seliduma lizatswaywa ngani? Kalisasizi lutho, ngaphandle kokulahlwa phandle beselinyathelwa ngabantu.

14Lina liyikukhanya komhlaba; umuzi omiswe phezu kwentaba ungesitheke;

15njalo kabalumathisi isibane basibeke ngaphansi kwesitsha, kodwa phezu kwesiqobane sesibane, besesibakhanyisela bonke abasendlini.

16Ngokunjalo kakukhanye ukukhanya kwenu phambi kwabantu, ukuze babone imisebenzi yenu emihle, badumise uYihlo osemazulwini.

17Lingacabangi ukuthi ngize ukuchitha umlayo kumbe abaprofethi; angizanga ukuchitha kodwa ukugcwalisa.

18Ngoba ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Kuze kudlule izulu lomhlaba, kakusoze kudlule ibadlana libe linye kumbe ichatshana libe linye lomlayo kuze kwenzeke konke.

19Ngakho owephula owodwa kulimilayo emincinyane, afundise abantu ngokunjalo, uzathiwa ngomncinyane embusweni wamazulu; kodwa oyenzayo ayifundise, lowo uzathiwa mkhulu embusweni wamazulu.

20Ngoba ngithi kini: Ngaphandle kokuthi ukulunga kwenu kwedlule okwababhali lokwabaFarisi, kalisoze lingene embusweni wamazulu.

21Lizwile ukuthi kwathiwa kwabasendulo: Ungabulali; laloba ngubani obulalayo, uzakuba lecala lokugwetshwa;

22kodwa mina ngithi kini: Wonke othukuthelela umfowabo kungelasizatho uzakuba lecala lokugwetshwa; lotshoyo kumfowabo ukuthi: Siphukuphukundini! uzakuba lecala emphakathini; lotshoyo ukuthi: Sithuthandini! uzakuba lecala elokuya esihogweni somlilo.

23Ngakho uba uletha umnikelo wakho elathini, ubusukhumbula ulapho ukuthi umfowenu ulolutho olumelana lawe,

24tshiya lapho umnikelo wakho phambi kwelathi, uhambe, uqale ubuyisane lomfowenu, ubusuzonikela umnikelo wakho.

25Phangisa uzwane laye omangalelane lawe usesendleleni laye, hlezi omangalelane lawe akunikele kumahluleli, futhi umahluleli akunikele epholiseni, ubusuphoselwa entolongweni.

26Ngiqinisile ngithi kuwe: Kawusoze uphume khona, uze ubhadale indibilitshi yokucina.

27Lizwile ukuthi kwathiwa kwabasendulo: Ungafebi.

28Kodwa mina ngithi kini: Wonke okhangela owesifazana ukumkhanuka usefebile laye enhliziyweni yakhe.

29Njalo uba ilihlo lakho lokunene likukhubekisa, likhuphe ulilahlele khatshana lawe; ngoba kungcono kuwe ukuthi kubhubhe sibe sinye sezitho zakho, lokuthi umzimba wakho wonke ungaphoselwa esihogweni.

30Njalo uba isandla sakho sokunene sikukhubekisa, siqume usilahlele khatshana lawe; ngoba kungcono kuwe ukuthi kubhubhe sibe sinye sezitho zakho, lokuthi umzimba wakho wonke ungaphoselwa esihogweni.

31Kwathiwa-ke: Loba ngubani owala umkakhe, kumele amnike incwadi yesehlukaniso;

32kodwa mina ngithi kini: Loba ngubani owala umkakhe, ngaphandle kodaba lokufeba, umenza afebe, njalo loba ngubani omthathayo owaliweyo uyafeba.

33Lizwile futhi ukuthi kwathiwa kwabasendulo: Ungafungi amanga, kodwa gcwalisa izifungo zakho eNkosini.

34Kodwa mina ngithi kini: Lingafungi lakanye; loba ngezulu, ngoba liyisihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu;

35loba ngomhlaba, ngoba uyisenabelo senyawo zakhe; loba ngeJerusalema, ngoba ingumuzi weNkosi enkulu;

36njalo ungafungi ngekhanda lakho, ngoba ungelwenze unwele lalunye lube mhlophe kumbe lube mnyama.

37Kodwa ilizwi lenu kalibe ngelokuthi: Yebo yebo, hatshi hatshi; kodwa okudlula lokho kuvela komubi.

38Lizwile ukuthi kwathiwa: Ilihlo ngelihlo, lezinyo ngezinyo;

39kodwa mina ngithi kini: Lingamelani lobubi; kodwa loba ngubani okuwakala esihlathini sokunene, mphendulele lesinye;

40lalowo ofuna ukukumangalela lokuthatha isigqoko sakho, mtshiyele lesembatho;

41laloba ngubani okubamba ngamandla ukuthi uhambe imayili libe linye, hamba laye abe mabili.

42Mnike ocela kuwe; njalo ungamfulatheli ofisa ukweboleka kuwe.

43Lizwile ukuthi kwathiwa: Wothanda umakhelwane wakho, njalo uzonde isitha sakho;

44kodwa mina ngithi kini: Thandani izitha zenu, libabusise abaliqalekisayo, libaphathe kuhle abalizondayo, libakhulekele abaliphatha kubi, labalizingelayo;

45ukuze libe ngabantwana bakaYihlo osemazulwini, ngoba yena uphumisa ilanga lakhe phezu kwababi labahle, anise izulu phezu kwabalungileyo labangalunganga.

46Ngoba aluba lithanda labo abalithandayo, lilomvuzo bani? Kabenzi njalo labathelisi yini?

47Futhi uba libingelela abafowenu bodwa, lenzani okukhulu okwedlula okwabanye? Kabenzi njalo labathelisi yini?

48Ngakho lina banini ngabapheleleyo, njengoba uYihlo osemazulwini ephelele.
