RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 Videns autem Jesus turbas, ascendit in montem, et cum sedisset, accesserunt ad eum discipuli ejus,

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 et aperiens os suum docebat eos dicens:

2 Y abriendo su boca, les enseñaba, diciendo:

2 He opened his mouth and taught them, saying,

3 Beati pauperes spiritu: quoniam ipsorum est regnum cælorum.

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 Beati mites: quoniam ipsi possidebunt terram.

4 Bienaventurados los que lloran: porque ellos recibirán consolación.

4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

5 Beati qui lugent: quoniam ipsi consolabuntur.

5 Bienaventurados los mansos: porque ellos recibirán la tierra por heredad.

5 Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.

6 Beati qui esuriunt et sitiunt justitiam: quoniam ipsi saturabuntur.

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 Beati misericordes: quoniam ipsi misericordiam consequentur.

7 Bienaventurados los misericordiosos: porque ellos alcanzarán misericordia.

7 Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

8 Beati mundo corde: quoniam ipsi Deum videbunt.

8 Bienaventurados los de limpio corazón: porque ellos verán á Dios.

8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

9 Beati pacifici: quoniam filii Dei vocabuntur.

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 Beati qui persecutionem patiuntur propter justitiam: quoniam ipsorum est regnum cælorum.

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 Beati estis cum maledixerint vobis, et persecuti vos fuerint, et dixerint omne malum adversum vos mentientes, propter me:

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 gaudete, et exsultate, quoniam merces vestra copiosa est in cælis. Sic enim persecuti sunt prophetas, qui fuerunt ante vos.

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 Vos estis sal terræ. Quod si sal evanuerit, in quo salietur? ad nihilum valet ultra, nisi ut mittatur foras, et conculcetur ab hominibus.

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 Vos estis lux mundi. Non potest civitas abscondi supra montem posita,

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 neque accendunt lucernam, et ponunt eam sub modio, sed super candelabrum, ut luceat omnibus qui in domo sunt.

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 Sic luceat lux vestra coram hominibus: ut videant opera vestra bona, et glorificent Patrem vestrum, qui in cælis est.

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 Nolite putare quoniam veni solvere legem aut prophetas: non veni solvere, sed adimplere.

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 Amen quippe dico vobis, donec transeat cælum et terra, jota unum aut unus apex non præteribit a lege, donec omnia fiant.

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 Qui ergo solverit unum de mandatis istis minimis, et docuerit sic homines, minimus vocabitur in regno cælorum: qui autem fecerit et docuerit, hic magnus vocabitur in regno cælorum.

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 Dico enim vobis, quia nisi abundaverit justitia vestra plus quam scribarum et pharisæorum, non intrabitis in regnum cælorum.

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 Audistis quia dictum est antiquis: Non occides: qui autem occiderit, reus erit judicio.

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 Ego autem dico vobis: quia omnis qui irascitur fratri suo, reus erit judicio. Qui autem dixerit fratri suo, raca: reus erit concilio. Qui autem dixerit, fatue: reus erit gehennæ ignis.

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 Si ergo offers munus tuum ad altare, et ibi recordatus fueris quia frater tuus habet aliquid adversum te:

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 relinque ibi munus tuum ante altare, et vade prius reconciliari fratri tuo: et tunc veniens offeres munus tuum.

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 Esto consentiens adversario tuo cito dum es in via cum eo: ne forte tradat te adversarius judici, et judex tradat te ministro: et in carcerem mittaris.

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 Amen dico tibi, non exies inde, donec reddas novissimum quadrantem.

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 Audistis quia dictum est antiquis: Non mœchaberis.

27 Oísteis que fué dicho: No adulterarás:

27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery;’

28 Ego autem dico vobis: quia omnis qui viderit mulierem ad concupiscendum eam, jam mœchatus est eam in corde suo.

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 Quod si oculus tuus dexter scandalizat te, erue eum, et projice abs te: expedit enim tibi ut pereat unum membrorum tuorum, quam totum corpus tuum mittatur in gehennam.

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 Et si dextra manus tua scandalizat te, abscide eam, et projice abs te: expedit enim tibi ut pereat unum membrorum tuorum, quam totum corpus tuum eat in gehennam.

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 Dictum est autem: Quicumque dimiserit uxorem suam, det ei libellum repudii.

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 Ego autem dico vobis: quia omnis qui dimiserit uxorem suam, excepta fornicationis causa, facit eam mœchari: et qui dimissam duxerit, adulterat.

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 Iterum audistis quia dictum est antiquis: Non perjurabis: reddes autem Domino juramenta tua.

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 Ego autem dico vobis, non jurare omnino, neque per cælum, quia thronus Dei est:

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 neque per terram, quia scabellum est pedum ejus: neque per Jerosolymam, quia civitas est magni regis:

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 neque per caput tuum juraveris, quia non potes unum capillum album facere, aut nigrum.

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 Sit autem sermo vester, est, est: non, non: quod autem his abundantius est, a malo est.

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 Audistis quia dictum est: Oculum pro oculo, et dentem pro dente.

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 Ego autem dico vobis, non resistere malo: sed si quis te percusserit in dexteram maxillam tuam, præbe illi et alteram:

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 et ei, qui vult tecum judicio contendere, et tunicam tuam tollere, dimitte ei et pallium:

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 et quicumque te angariaverit mille passus, vade cum illo et alia duo.

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 Qui petit a te, da ei: et volenti mutuari a te, ne avertaris.

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 Audistis quia dictum est: Diliges proximum tuum, et odio habebis inimicum tuum.

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 Ego autem dico vobis: diligite inimicos vestros, benefacite his qui oderunt vos, et orate pro persequentibus et calumniantibus vos:

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 ut sitis filii Patris vestri, qui in cælis est: qui solem suum oriri facit super bonos et malos: et pluit super justos et injustos.

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 Si enim diligitis eos qui vos diligunt, quam mercedem habebitis? nonne et publicani hoc faciunt?

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 Et si salutaveritis fratres vestros tantum, quid amplius facitis? nonne et ethnici hoc faciunt?

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 Estote ergo vos perfecti, sicut et Pater vester cælestis perfectus est.

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. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
