WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 ιδων δε τουσ οχλουσ ανεβη εισ το οροσ και καθισαντοσ αυτου προσηλθον αυτω οι μαθηται αυτου
1 Y VIENDO las gentes, subió al monte; y sentándose, se llegaron á él sus discípulos.
1 Seeing the multitudes, he went up onto the mountain. When he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
2 και ανοιξασ το στομα αυτου εδιδασκεν αυτουσ λεγων
2 Y abriendo su boca, les enseñaba, diciendo:
2 He opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
3 μακαριοι οι πτωχοι τω πνευματι οτι αυτων εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων
3 Bienaventurados los pobres en espíritu: porque de ellos es el reino de los cielos.
3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
4 μακαριοι οι πενθουντεσ οτι αυτοι παρακληθησονται
4 Bienaventurados los que lloran: porque ellos recibirán consolación.
4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
5 μακαριοι οι πραεισ οτι αυτοι κληρονομησουσιν την γην
5 Bienaventurados los mansos: porque ellos recibirán la tierra por heredad.
5 Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.
6 μακαριοι οι πεινωντεσ και διψωντεσ την δικαιοσυνην οτι αυτοι χορτασθησονται
6 Bienaventurados los que tienen hambre y sed de justicia: porque ellos serán hartos.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.
7 μακαριοι οι ελεημονεσ οτι αυτοι ελεηθησονται
7 Bienaventurados los misericordiosos: porque ellos alcanzarán misericordia.
7 Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
8 μακαριοι οι καθαροι τη καρδια οτι αυτοι τον θεον οψονται
8 Bienaventurados los de limpio corazón: porque ellos verán á Dios.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
9 μακαριοι οι ειρηνοποιοι οτι αυτοι υιοι θεου κληθησονται
9 Bienaventurados los pacificadores: porque ellos serán llamados hijos de Dios.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.
10 μακαριοι οι δεδιωγμενοι ενεκεν δικαιοσυνησ οτι αυτων εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων
10 Bienaventurados los que padecen persecución por causa de la justicia: porque de ellos es el reino de los cielos.
10 Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
11 μακαριοι εστε οταν ονειδισωσιν υμασ και διωξωσιν και ειπωσιν παν πονηρον ρημα καθ υμων ψευδομενοι ενεκεν εμου
11 Bienaventurados sois cuando os vituperaren y os persiguieren, y dijeren de vosotros todo mal por mi causa, mintiendo.
11 “Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 χαιρετε και αγαλλιασθε οτι ο μισθοσ υμων πολυσ εν τοισ ουρανοισ ουτωσ γαρ εδιωξαν τουσ προφητασ τουσ προ υμων
12 Gozaos y alegraos; porque vuestra merced es grande en los cielos: que así persiguieron á los profetas que fueron antes de vosotros.
12 Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
13 υμεισ εστε το αλασ τησ γησ εαν δε το αλασ μωρανθη εν τινι αλισθησεται εισ ουδεν ισχυει ετι ει μη βληθηναι εξω και καταπατεισθαι υπο των ανθρωπων
13 Vosotros sois la sal de la tierra: y si la sal se desvaneciere ¿con qué será salada? no vale más para nada, sino para ser echada fuera y hollada de los hombres.
13 “You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its flavor, with what will it be salted? It is then good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under the feet of men.
14 υμεισ εστε το φωσ του κοσμου ου δυναται πολισ κρυβηναι επανω ορουσ κειμενη
14 Vosotros sois la luz del mundo: una ciudad asentada sobre un monte no se puede esconder.
14 “You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can’t be hidden.
15 ουδε καιουσιν λυχνον και τιθεασιν αυτον υπο τον μοδιον αλλ επι την λυχνιαν και λαμπει πασιν τοισ εν τη οικια
15 Ni se enciende una lámpara y se pone debajo de un almud, mas sobre el candelero, y alumbra á todos los que están en casa.
15 Neither do you light a lamp and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house.
16 ουτωσ λαμψατω το φωσ υμων εμπροσθεν των ανθρωπων οπωσ ιδωσιν υμων τα καλα εργα και δοξασωσιν τον πατερα υμων τον εν τοισ ουρανοισ
16 Así alumbre vuestra luz delante de los hombres, para que vean vuestras obras buenas, y glorifiquen á vuestro Padre que está en los cielos.
16 Even so, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
17 μη νομισητε οτι ηλθον καταλυσαι τον νομον η τουσ προφητασ ουκ ηλθον καταλυσαι αλλα πληρωσαι
17 No penséis que he venido para abrogar la ley ó los profetas: no he venido para abrogar, sino á cumplir.
17 “Don’t think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I didn’t come to destroy, but to fulfill.
18 αμην γαρ λεγω υμιν εωσ αν παρελθη ο ουρανοσ και η γη ιωτα εν η μια κεραια ου μη παρελθη απο του νομου εωσ αν παντα γενηται
18 Porque de cierto os digo, [que] hasta que perezca el cielo y la tierra, ni una jota ni un tilde perecerá de la ley, hasta que todas las cosas sean hechas.
18 For most certainly, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not even one smallest letter or one tiny pen stroke shall in any way pass away from the law, until all things are accomplished.
19 οσ εαν ουν λυση μιαν των εντολων τουτων των ελαχιστων και διδαξη ουτωσ τουσ ανθρωπουσ ελαχιστοσ κληθησεται εν τη βασιλεια των ουρανων οσ δ αν ποιηση και διδαξη ουτοσ μεγασ κληθησεται εν τη βασιλεια των ουρανων
19 De manera que cualquiera que infringiere uno de estos mandamientos muy pequeños, y así enseñare á los hombres, muy pequeño será llamado en el reino de los cielos: mas cualquiera que hiciere y enseñare, éste será llamado grande en el reino de los cielos.
19 Therefore, whoever shall break one of these least commandments and teach others to do so, shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven; but whoever shall do and teach them shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.
20 λεγω γαρ υμιν οτι εαν μη περισσευση η δικαιοσυνη υμων πλειον των γραμματεων και φαρισαιων ου μη εισελθητε εισ την βασιλειαν των ουρανων
20 Porque os digo, que si vuestra justicia no fuere mayor que [la] de los escribas y de los Fariseos, no entraréis en el reino de los cielos.
20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, there is no way you will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
21 ηκουσατε οτι ερρεθη τοισ αρχαιοισ ου φονευσεισ οσ δ αν φονευση ενοχοσ εσται τη κρισει
21 Oísteis que fué dicho á los antiguos: No matarás; mas cualquiera que matare, será culpado del juicio.
21 “You have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, ‘You shall not murder;’ and ‘Whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’
22 εγω δε λεγω υμιν οτι πασ ο οργιζομενοσ τω αδελφω αυτου εικη ενοχοσ εσται τη κρισει οσ δ αν ειπη τω αδελφω αυτου ρακα ενοχοσ εσται τω συνεδριω οσ δ αν ειπη μωρε ενοχοσ εσται εισ την γεενναν του πυροσ
22 Mas yo os digo, que cualquiera que se enojare locamente con su hermano, será culpado del juicio; y cualquiera que dijere á su hermano, Raca, será culpado del concejo; y cualquiera que dijere, Fatuo, será culpado del infierno del fuego.
22 But I tell you that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause will be in danger of the judgment. Whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ will be in danger of the council. Whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of Gehenna.
23 εαν ουν προσφερησ το δωρον σου επι το θυσιαστηριον και εκει μνησθησ οτι ο αδελφοσ σου εχει τι κατα σου
23 Por tanto, si trajeres tu presente al altar, y allí te acordares de que tu hermano tiene algo contra ti,
23 “If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you,
24 αφεσ εκει το δωρον σου εμπροσθεν του θυσιαστηριου και υπαγε πρωτον διαλλαγηθι τω αδελφω σου και τοτε ελθων προσφερε το δωρον σου
24 Deja allí tu presente delante del altar, y vete, vuelve primero en amistad con tu hermano, y entonces ven y ofrece tu presente.
24 leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
25 ισθι ευνοων τω αντιδικω σου ταχυ εωσ οτου ει εν τη οδω μετ αυτου μηποτε σε παραδω ο αντιδικοσ τω κριτη και ο κριτησ σε παραδω τω υπηρετη και εισ φυλακην βληθηση
25 Concíliate con tu adversario presto, entre tanto que estás con él en el camino; porque no acontezca que el adversario te entregue al juez, y el juez te entregue al alguacil, y seas echado en prisión.
25 Agree with your adversary quickly while you are with him on the way; lest perhaps the prosecutor deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be cast into prison.
26 αμην λεγω σοι ου μη εξελθησ εκειθεν εωσ αν αποδωσ τον εσχατον κοδραντην
26 De cierto te digo, que no saldrás de allí, hasta que pagues el último cuadrante.
26 Most certainly I tell you, you shall by no means get out of there until you have paid the last penny.
27 ηκουσατε οτι ερρεθη ου μοιχευσεισ
27 Oísteis que fué dicho: No adulterarás:
27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery;’
28 εγω δε λεγω υμιν οτι πασ ο βλεπων γυναικα προσ το επιθυμησαι αυτην ηδη εμοιχευσεν αυτην εν τη καρδια αυτου
28 Mas yo os digo, que cualquiera que mira á una mujer para codiciarla, ya adulteró con ella en su corazón.
28 but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.
29 ει δε ο οφθαλμοσ σου ο δεξιοσ σκανδαλιζει σε εξελε αυτον και βαλε απο σου συμφερει γαρ σοι ινα αποληται εν των μελων σου και μη ολον το σωμα σου βληθη εισ γεενναν
29 Por tanto, si tu ojo derecho te fuere ocasión de caer, sácalo, y échalo de ti: que mejor te es que se pierda uno de tus miembros, que no que todo tu cuerpo sea echado al infierno.
29 If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna.
30 και ει η δεξια σου χειρ σκανδαλιζει σε εκκοψον αυτην και βαλε απο σου συμφερει γαρ σοι ινα αποληται εν των μελων σου και μη ολον το σωμα σου βληθη εισ γεενναν
30 Y si tu mano derecha te fuere ocasión de caer, córtala, y échala de ti: que mejor te es que se pierda uno de tus miembros, que no que todo tu cuerpo sea echado al infierno.
30 If your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna.
31 ερρεθη δε οτι οσ αν απολυση την γυναικα αυτου δοτω αυτη αποστασιον
31 También fué dicho: Cualquiera que repudiare á su mujer, déle carta de divorcio:
31 “It was also said, ‘Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorce,’
32 εγω δε λεγω υμιν οτι οσ αν απολυση την γυναικα αυτου παρεκτοσ λογου πορνειασ ποιει αυτην μοιχασθαι και οσ εαν απολελυμενην γαμηση μοιχαται
32 Mas yo os digo, que el que repudiare á su mujer, fuera de causa de fornicación, hace que ella adultere; y el que se casare con la repudiada, comete adulterio.
32 but I tell you that whoever puts away his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is put away commits adultery.
33 παλιν ηκουσατε οτι ερρεθη τοισ αρχαιοισ ουκ επιορκησεισ αποδωσεισ δε τω κυριω τουσ ορκουσ σου
33 Además habéis oído que fué dicho á los antiguos: No te perjurarás; mas pagarás al Señor tus juramentos.
33 “Again you have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, ‘You shall not make false vows, but shall perform to the Lord your vows,’
34 εγω δε λεγω υμιν μη ομοσαι ολωσ μητε εν τω ουρανω οτι θρονοσ εστιν του θεου
34 Mas yo os digo: No juréis en ninguna manera: ni por el cielo, porque es el trono de Dios;
34 but I tell you, don’t swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;
35 μητε εν τη γη οτι υποποδιον εστιν των ποδων αυτου μητε εισ ιεροσολυμα οτι πολισ εστιν του μεγαλου βασιλεωσ
35 Ni por la tierra, porque es el estrado de sus pies; ni por Jerusalem, porque es la ciudad del gran Rey.
35 nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.
36 μητε εν τη κεφαλη σου ομοσησ οτι ου δυνασαι μιαν τριχα λευκην η μελαιναν ποιησαι
36 Ni por tu cabeza jurarás, porque no puedes hacer un cabello blanco ó negro.
36 Neither shall you swear by your head, for you can’t make one hair white or black.
37 εστω δε ο λογοσ υμων ναι ναι ου ου το δε περισσον τουτων εκ του πονηρου εστιν
37 Mas sea vuestro hablar: Sí, sí; No, no; porque lo que es más de esto, de mal procede.
37 But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No.’ Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.
38 ηκουσατε οτι ερρεθη οφθαλμον αντι οφθαλμου και οδοντα αντι οδοντοσ
38 Oísteis que fué dicho á los antiguos: Ojo por ojo, y diente por diente.
38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’
39 εγω δε λεγω υμιν μη αντιστηναι τω πονηρω αλλ οστισ σε ραπισει επι την δεξιαν σιαγονα στρεψον αυτω και την αλλην
39 Mas yo os digo: No resistáis al mal; antes á cualquiera que te hiriere en tu mejilla diestra, vuélvele también la otra;
39 But I tell you, don’t resist him who is evil; but whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 και τω θελοντι σοι κριθηναι και τον χιτωνα σου λαβειν αφεσ αυτω και το ιματιον
40 Y al que quisiere ponerte á pleito y tomarte tu ropa, déjale también la capa;
40 If anyone sues you to take away your coat, let him have your cloak also.
41 και οστισ σε αγγαρευσει μιλιον εν υπαγε μετ αυτου δυο
41 Y á cualquiera que te cargare por una milla, ve con él dos.
41 Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.
42 τω αιτουντι σε διδου και τον θελοντα απο σου δανεισασθαι μη αποστραφησ
42 Al que te pidiere, dale; y al que quisiere tomar de ti prestado, no se lo rehuses.
42 Give to him who asks you, and don’t turn away him who desires to borrow from you.
43 ηκουσατε οτι ερρεθη αγαπησεισ τον πλησιον σου και μισησεισ τον εχθρον σου
43 Oísteis que fué dicho: Amarás á tu prójimo, y aborrecerás á tu enemigo.
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’
44 εγω δε λεγω υμιν αγαπατε τουσ εχθρουσ υμων ευλογειτε τουσ καταρωμενουσ υμασ καλωσ ποιειτε τοισ μισουσιν υμασ και προσευχεσθε υπερ των επηρεαζοντων υμασ και διωκοντων υμασ
44 Mas yo os digo: Amad á vuestros enemigos, bendecid á los que os maldicen, haced bien á los que os aborrecen, y orad por los que os ultrajan y os persiguen;
44 But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,
45 οπωσ γενησθε υιοι του πατροσ υμων του εν τοισ ουρανοισ οτι τον ηλιον αυτου ανατελλει επι πονηρουσ και αγαθουσ και βρεχει επι δικαιουσ και αδικουσ
45 Para que seáis hijos de vuestro Padre que está en los cielos: que hace que su sol salga sobre malos y buenos, y llueve sobre justos é injustos.
45 that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.
46 εαν γαρ αγαπησητε τουσ αγαπωντασ υμασ τινα μισθον εχετε ουχι και οι τελωναι το αυτο ποιουσιν
46 Porque si amareis á los que os aman, ¿qué recompensa tendréis? ¿no hacen también lo mismo los publicanos?
46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Don’t even the tax collectors do the same?
47 και εαν ασπασησθε τουσ φιλουσ υμων μονον τι περισσον ποιειτε ουχι και οι τελωναι ουτωσ ποιουσιν
47 Y si abrazareis á vuestros hermanos solamente, ¿qué hacéis de más? ¿no hacen también así los Gentiles?
47 If you only greet your friends, what more do you do than others? Don’t even the tax collectors do the same?
48 εσεσθε ουν υμεισ τελειοι ωσπερ ο πατηρ υμων ο εν τοισ ουρανοισ τελειοσ εστιν
48 Sed, pues, vosotros perfectos, como vuestro Padre que está en los cielos es perfecto.
48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse.
