| Vers | Amharic NT | English: King James Version |
| 1 | ሕዝቡንም አይቶ ወደ ተራራ ወጣ፤ በተቀመጠም ጊዜ ደቀ መዛሙርቱ ወደ እርሱ ቀረቡ፤ | And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: |
| 2 | አፉንም ከፍቶ አስተማራቸው እንዲህም አለ። | And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, |
| 3 | በመንፈስ ድሆች የሆኑ ብፁዓን ናቸው፥ መንግሥተ ሰማያት የእነርሱ ናትና። | Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. |
| 4 | የሚያዝኑ ብፁዓን ናቸው፥ መፅናናትን ያገኛሉና። | Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. |
| 5 | የዋሆች ብፁዓን ናቸው፥ ምድርን ይወርሳሉና። | Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. |
| 6 | ጽድቅን የሚራቡና የሚጠሙ ብፁዓን ናቸው፥ ይጠግባሉና። | Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. |
| 7 | የሚምሩ ብፁዓን ናቸው፥ ይማራሉና። | Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. |
| 8 | ልበ ንጹሖች ብፁዓን ናቸው፥ እግዚአብሔርን ያዩታልና። | Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. |
| 9 | የሚያስተራርቁ ብፁዓን ናቸው፥ የእግዚአብሔር ልጆች ይባላሉና። | Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. |
| 10 | ስለ ጽድቅ የሚሰደዱ ብፁዓን ናቸው፥ መንግሥተ ሰማያት የእነርሱ ናትና። | Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. |
| 11 | ሲነቅፉአችሁና ሲያሳድዱአችሁ በእኔም ምክንያት ክፉውን ሁሉ በውሸት ሲናገሩባችሁ ብፁዓን ናችሁ። | 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 | ዋጋችሁ በሰማያት ታላቅ ነውና ደስ ይበላችሁ፥ ሐሴትም አድርጉ፤ ከእናንተ በፊት የነበሩትን ነቢያትን እንዲሁ አሳድደዋቸዋልና። | Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. |
| 13 | እናንተ የምድር ጨው ናችሁ፤ ጨው አልጫ ቢሆን ግን በምን ይጣፍጣል? ወደ ውጭ ተጥሎ በሰው ከመረገጥ በቀር ወደ ፊት ለምንም አይጠቅምም። | 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 | እናንተ የዓለም ብርሃን ናችሁ። በተራራ ላይ ያለች ከተማ ልትሰወር አይቻላትም። | Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. |
| 15 | መብራትንም አብርተው ከዕንቅብ በታች አይደለም እንጂ በመቅረዙ ላይ ያኖሩታል በቤት ላሉት ሁሉም ያበራል። | 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 | መልካሙን ሥራችሁን አይተው በሰማያት ያለውን አባታችሁን እንዲያከብሩ ብርሃናችሁ እንዲሁ በሰው ፊት ይብራ። | Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. |
| 17 | እኔ ሕግንና ነቢያትን ለመሻር የመጣሁ አይምሰላችሁ፤ ልፈጽም እንጂ ለመሻር አልመጣሁም። | Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. |
| 18 | እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ሰማይና ምድር እስኪያልፍ ድረስ፥ ከሕግ አንዲት የውጣ ወይም አንዲት ነጥብ ከቶ አታልፍም፥ ሁሉ እስኪፈጸም ድረስ። | 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 | እንግዲህ ከነዚህ ከሁሉ ካነሱት ትእዛዛት አንዲቱን የሚሽር ለሰውም እንዲሁ የሚያስተምር ማንም ሰው በመንግሥተ ሰማያት ከሁሉ ታናሽ ይባላል፤ የሚያደርግ ግን የሚያስተምርም ማንም ቢሆን እርሱ በመንግሥተ ሰማያት ታላቅ ይባላል። | 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 | እላችኋለሁና። ጽድቃችሁ ከጻፎችና ከፈሪሳውያን ጽድቅ ካልበለጠ፥ ወደ መንግሥተ ሰማያት ከቶ አትገቡም። | 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 | ለቀደሙት። አትግደል እንደ ተባለ ሰምታችኋል፤ የገደለም ሁሉ ፍርድ ይገባዋል። | Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: |
| 22 | እኔ ግን እላችኋለሁ፥ በወንድሙ ላይ የሚቆጣ ሁሉ ፍርድ ይገባዋል፤ ወንድሙንም ጨርቃም የሚለው ሁሉ የሸንጎ ፍርድ ይገባዋል፤ ደንቆሮ የሚለውም ሁሉ የገሃነመ እሳት ፍርድ ይገባዋል። | 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 |
| 23 | እንግዲህ መባህን በመሠዊያው ላይ ብታቀርብ፥ በዚያም ወንድምህ አንዳች በአንተ ላይ እንዳለው ብታስብ፥ | Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; |
| 24 | በዚያ በመሠዊያው ፊት መባህን ትተህ ሂድ፥ አስቀድመህም ከወንድምህ ጋር ታረቅ፥ በኋላም መጥተህ መባህን አቅርብ። | 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 | አብረኸው በመንገድ ሳለህ ከባላጋራህ ጋር ፈጥነህ ተስማማ፤ ባላጋራ ለዳኛ እንዳይሰጥህ ዳኛም ለሎሌው፥ ወደ ወህኒም ትጣላለህ፤ | 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 | እውነት እልሃለሁ፥ የመጨረሻዋን ሳንቲም እስክትከፍል ድረስ ከቶ ከዚያ አትወጣም። | Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing. |
| 27 | አታመንዝር እንደ ተባለ ሰምታችኋል። | Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: |
| 28 | እኔ ግን እላችኋለሁ፥ ወደ ሴት ያየ ሁሉ የተመኛትም ያን ጊዜ በልቡ ከእርስዋ ጋር አመንዝሮአል። | 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 | ቀኝ ዓይንህም ብታሰናክልህ አውጥተህ ከአንተ ጣላት፤ ሙሉ ሰውነትህ በገሃነም ከሚጣል ይልቅ ከአካላትህ አንድ ቢጠፋ ይሻልሃልና። | 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 | ቀኝ እጅህም ብታሰናክልህ ቆርጠህ ከአንተ ጣላት፤ ሙሉ ሰውነትህ በገሃነም ከሚጣል ይልቅ ከአካላትህ አንድ ቢጠፋ ይሻላልና። | And if thy right hand offend thee, cut if 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 | ሚስቱን የሚፈታት ሁሉ የፍችዋን ጽሕፈት ይስጣት ተባለ። | It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: |
| 32 | እኔ ግን እላችኋለሁ፥ ያለ ዝሙት ምክንያት ሚስቱን የሚፈታ ሁሉ አመንዝራ ያደርጋታል፥ የተፈታችውንም የሚያገባ ሁሉ ያመነዝራል። | 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 | ደግሞ ለቀደሙት። በውሸት አትማል ነገር ግን መሐላዎችህን ለጌታ ስጥ እንደተባለ ሰምታችኋል። | 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 | እኔ ግን እላችኋለሁ። ከቶ አትማሉ፤ በሰማይ አይሆንም የእግዚአብሔር ዙፋን ነውና፤ | But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: |
| 35 | በምድርም አይሆንም የእግሩ መረገጫ ናትና፤ በኢየሩሳሌምም አይሆንም የታላቁ ንጉሥ ከተማ ናትና፤ | Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. |
| 36 | በራስህም አትማል፥ አንዲቱን ጠጉር ነጭ ወይም ጥቁር ልታደርግ አትችልምና። | Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. |
| 37 | ነገር ግን ቃላችሁ አዎን አዎን ወይም አይደለም አይደለም ይሁን፤ ከነዚህም የወጣ ከክፉው ነው። | But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. |
| 38 | ዓይን ስለ ዓይን ጥርስም ስለ ጥርስ እንደ ተባለ ሰምታችኋል። | Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: |
| 39 | እኔ ግን እላችኋለሁ፥ ክፉውን አትቃወሙ፤ ዳሩ ግን ቀኝ ጉንጭህን በጥፊ ለሚመታህ ሁሉ ሁለተኛውን ደግሞ አዙርለት፤ | 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 | እንዲከስህም እጀ ጠባብህንም እንዲወስድ ለሚወድ መጎናጸፊያህን ደግሞ ተውለት፤ | And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. |
| 41 | ማንም ሰው አንድ ምዕራፍ ትሄድ ዘንድ ቢያስገድድህ ሁለተኛውን ከእርሱ ጋር ሂድ። | And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. |
| 42 | ለሚለምንህ ስጥ፥ ከአንተም ይበደር ዘንድ ከሚወደው ፈቀቅ አትበል። | Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. |
| 43 | ባልንጀራህን ውደድ ጠላትህንም ጥላ እንደ ተባለ ሰምታችኋል። | Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. |
| 44 | እኔ ግን እላችኋለሁ፥ በሰማያት ላለ አባታችሁ ልጆች ትሆኑ ዘንድ ጠላቶቻችሁን ውደዱ፥ የሚረግሙአችሁንም መርቁ፥ ለሚጠሉአችሁም መልካም አድርጉ፥ ስለሚያሳድዱአችሁም ጸልዩ፤ እርሱ በክፎዎችና በበጎዎች ላይ ፀሐይን ያወጣልና፥ በጻድቃንና በኃጢአተኞችም ላይ ዝናቡን ያዘንባልና። | 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; |
| 46 | የሚወዱአችሁን ብትወዱ ምን ዋጋ አላችሁ? ቀራጮችስ ያንኑ ያደርጉ የለምን? | For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? |
| 47 | ወንድሞቻችሁንም ብቻ እጅ ብትነሡ ምን ብልጫ ታደርጋላችሁ? አሕዛብስ ያንኑ ያደርጉ የለምን? | And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? |
| 48 | እንግዲህ የሰማዩ አባታችሁ ፍጹም እንደ ሆነ እናንተ ፍጹማን ሁኑ። | Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. |
| 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. |
