1:1The book of the genealogy of Yahusha ha’Mashiaḥ, Bĕn of Dawiḏ, Bĕn of Aḇraham:

1:2Aḇraham brought forth Yitsḥaq, and Yitsḥaq brought forth Ya‘aqoḇ, and Ya‘aqoḇ brought forth Yahuḏah and his brothers.

1:3And Yahuḏah brought forth Perets and Zeraḥ by Tamar, and Perets brought forth Ḥetsron, and Ḥetsron brought forth Ram.

1:4And Ram brought forth Amminaḏaḇ, and Amminaḏaḇ brought forth Naḥshon, and Naḥshon brought forth Salmon.

1:5And Salmon brought forth Bo‘az by Raḥaḇ, and Bo‘az brought forth Oḇĕḏ by Ruth, and Oḇĕḏ brought forth Yishai.

1:6And Yishai brought forth Dawiḏ the sovereign, and Dawiḏ the sovereign brought forth Shelomoh by Uriyah’s wife.

1:7And Shelomoh brought forth Reḥaḇ’am, and Reḥaḇ’am brought forth Aḇiyah, and Aḇiyah brought forth Asa.

1:8And Asa brought forth Yahoshaphat, and Yahoshaphat brought forth Yoram, and Yoram brought forth Uzziyah.

1:9And Uzziyah brought forth Yotham, and Yotham brought forth Aḥaz, and Aḥaz brought forth Ḥizqiyahu.

1:10And Ḥizqiyahu brought forth Menashsheh, and Menashsheh brought forth Amon, and Amon brought forth Yoshiyahu.

1:11And Yoshiyahu brought forth Yeḵonyah and his brothers at the time of the exile to Baḇel.

1:12And after the exile to Baḇel, Yeḵonyah brought forth She‘alti’ĕl, and She‘alti’ĕl brought forth Zerubbaḇel.

1:13And Zerubbaḇel brought forth Aḇihuḏ, and Aḇihuḏ brought forth Elyaqim, and Elyaqim brought forth Azor.

1:14And Azor brought forth Tsaḏoq, and Tsaḏoq brought forth Aqim, and Aqim brought forth Elihuḏ.

1:15And Elihuḏ brought forth El‘azar, and El‘azar brought forth Mattan, and Mattan brought forth Ya‘aqoḇ.

1:16And Ya‘aqoḇ brought forth Yosĕph the husband of Miryam, of whom was born Yahusha who is called Mashiaḥ.

1:17So all the generations from Aḇraham to Dawiḏ were fourteen generations, and from Dawiḏ until the exile to Baḇel were fourteen generations, and from the exile to Baḇel until Mashiaḥ were fourteen generations.

1:18And the birth of Yahusha ha’Mashiaḥ was as follows: After His mother Miryam was engaged to Yosĕph, before they came together, she was found to be pregnant from the Ruaḥ ha’Qodesh.

1:19And Yosĕph her husband, being righteous, and not wanting to make a show of her, had in mind to put her away secretly.

1:20But while he thought about this, see, a messenger of Yahuah appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Yosĕph, son of Dawiḏ, do not be afraid to take Miryam as your wife, for that which is in her was brought forth from the Ruaḥ ha’Qodesh.

1:21“And she shall give birth to a Bĕn, and you shall call His Name Yahusha for He shall save His people from their sins.”

1:22And all this came to be in order to fill what was spoken by Yahuah through the naḇi, saying,

1:23“See, a maiden shall conceive, and she shall give birth to a Bĕn, and they shall call His Name Immanu’ĕl,” which translated, means, “Ĕl with us.”

1:24And Yosĕph, awaking from his sleep, did as the messenger of Yahuah commanded him and took his wife,

1:25but knew her not until she gave birth to her Bĕn, the first-born. And he called His Name Yahusha.

2:1And Yahusha having been born in Bĕyth Leḥem of Yahuḏah in the days of Hĕrodĕs the sovereign, see, Magi from the East came to Yerushalayim,

2:2saying, “Where is He who has been born Sovereign of the Yahuḏim? For we saw His star in the East and have come to do reverence to Him.”

2:3And Hĕrodĕs the sovereign, having heard, was troubled, and all Yerushalayim with him.

2:4And having gathered all the chief kohenim and scribes of the people together, he asked them where ha’Mashiaḥ was to be born.

2:5And they said to him, “In Bĕyth Leḥem of Yahuḏah, for thus it has been written by the naḇi,

2:6‘But you, Bĕyth Leḥem, in the land of Yahuḏah, you are by no means least among the rulers of Yahuḏah, for out of you shall come a Ruler who shall shepherd My people Yisra’ĕl.’ ”

2:7Then Hĕrodĕs, having called the Magi secretly, learned exactly from them what time the star appeared.

2:8And having sent them to Bĕyth Leḥem, he said, “Go and search diligently for the Child, and when you have found Him, bring back word to me, so that I too might go and do reverence to Him.”

2:9And having heard the sovereign, they went. And see, the star which they had seen, in the East went before them, until it came and stood over where the Child was.

2:10And seeing the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.

2:11And coming into the house, they saw the Child with Miryam His mother, and fell down and did reverence to Him, and opening their treasures, they presented to Him gifts of gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.

2:12And having been warned in a dream that they should not return to Hĕrodĕs, they departed for their own country by another way.

2:13And when they had left, see, a messenger of Yahuah appeared to Yosĕph in a dream, saying, “Arise, take the Child and His mother, and flee to Mitsrayim, and remain there until I bring you word, for Hĕrodĕs is about to seek the Child to destroy Him.”

2:14And rising up, he took the Child and His mother by night and departed for Mitsrayim,

2:15and remained there until the death of Hĕrodĕs, to fill what was spoken by Yahuah through the naḇi, saying, “Out of Mitsrayim I have called My Bĕn.”

2:16Then Hĕrodĕs, having seen that he was fooled by the Magi, was greatly enraged, and he sent forth and slew all the male children in Bĕyth Leḥem and in all its borders, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had exactly learnt from the Magi.

2:17Then was filled what was spoken by Yirmeyahu the naḇi, saying,

2:18“A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing and weeping, and great mourning Raḥĕl weeping for her children, refusing to be comforted, because they were no more.”

2:19And Hĕrodĕs having died, see, a messenger of Yahuah appeared in a dream to Yosĕph in Mitsrayim,

2:20saying, “Arise, take the Child and His mother, and go into the land of Yisra’ĕl, for those seeking the life of the Child are dead.”

2:21And rising up, he took the Child and His mother, and came into the land of Yisra’ĕl.

2:22But hearing that Arḵelaos was reigning over Yahuḏah instead of his father Hĕrodĕs, he was afraid to go there. And having been warned in a dream, he departed to the parts of Galil,

2:23and came and dwelt in a city called Natsareth – thus to fill what was spoken by the neḇi’im, “He shall be called a Natsarene.”

3:1And in those days Yoḥanan the Immerser came proclaiming in the wilderness of Yahuḏah,

3:2and saying, “Repent, for the reign of the shamayim has come near!”

3:3For this is he who was spoken of by the naḇi Yeshayahu, saying, “A voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way of Yahuah, make His paths straight.’ ”

3:4And Yoḥanan had a garment of camel’s hair, and a leather girdle around his waist. And his food was locusts and wild honey.

3:5Then Yerushalayim, and all Yahuḏah, and all the country around the Yardĕn went out to him,

3:6and they were immersed by him in the Yardĕn, confessing their sins.

3:7And seeing many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his immersion, he said to them, “Brood of adders! Who has warned you to flee from the coming wrath?

3:8“Bear, therefore, fruits worthy of repentance,

3:9and do not think to say to yourselves, ‘We have Aḇraham as father.’ For I say to you that Elohim is able to raise up children to Aḇraham from these stones.

3:10“And the axe is already laid to the root of the trees. Every tree, then, which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

3:11“I indeed immerse you in water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to bear. He shall immerse you in the Ruaḥ ha’Qodesh and fire.

3:12“His winnowing fork is in His hand, and He shall thoroughly cleanse His threshing-floor, and gather His wheat into the storehouse, but the chaff He shall burn with unquenchable fire.”

3:13Then Yahusha came from Galil to Yoḥanan at the Yardĕn to be immersed by him.

3:14But Yoḥanan was hindering Him, saying, “I need to be immersed by You, and You come to me?”

3:15But Yahusha answering, said to him, “Permit it now, for thus it is fitting for us to fill all righteousness.” Then he permitted Him.

3:16And having been immersed, Yahusha went up immediately from the water, and see, the shamayim were opened, and He saw the Ruaḥ of Yahuah descending like a dove and coming upon Him,

3:17and see, a voice out of the shamayim, saying, “This is My Bĕn, the Beloved, in whom I delight.”

4:1Then Yahusha was led up by the Ruaḥ into the wilderness to be tried by the devil.

4:2And after having fasted forty days and forty nights, He was hungry.

4:3And the trier came and said to Him, “If You are the Bĕn of Yahuah, command that these stones become bread.”

4:4But He answering, said, “It has been written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of Yahuah.’ ”

4:5Then the devil took Him up into the qodesh city, put Him on the edge of the Miqdash,

4:6and said to Him, “If You are the Bĕn of Yahuah, throw Yourself down. For it has been written, ‘He shall command His messengers concerning you,’ and, ‘In their hands they shall bear you up, so that you do not dash your foot against a stone.’ ”

4:7Yahusha said to him, “It has also been written, ‘You shall not try Yahuah your Elohim.’ ”

4:8Again, the devil took Him up on a very high mountain, and showed Him all the reigns of the world, and their esteem,

4:9and said to Him, “All these I shall give You if You fall down and worship me.”

4:10Then Yahusha said to him, “Go, Satan! For it has been written, ‘You shall worship Yahuah your Elohim, and Him alone you shall serve.’ ”

4:11Then the devil left Him, and see, messengers came and attended Him.

4:12And Yahusha, having heard that Yoḥanan had been put in prison, withdrew into Galil.

4:13And leaving Natsareth, He came and dwelt in Kephar Naḥum, which is by the sea, in the borders of Zeḇulun and Naphtali,

4:14to fill what was spoken by Yeshayahu the naḇi, saying,

4:15“Land of Zeḇulun and land of Naphtali, the way of the sea, beyond the Yardĕn, Galil of the gentiles –

4:16the people who sat in darkness saw a great light, and upon those who sat in the land and shadow of death, light arose to them.”

4:17From that time Yahusha began to proclaim and to say, “Repent, for the reign of the shamayim has drawn near.”

4:18And Yahusha, walking by the Sea of Galil, saw two brothers, Shim‘on called Kĕpha, and Andri his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.

4:19And He said to them, “Follow Me, and I shall make you fishers of men.”

4:20And immediately they left their nets and followed Him.

4:21And going on from there, He saw two other brothers, Ya‘aqoḇ of Zaḇdai, and Yoḥanan his brother, in the boat with Zaḇdai their father, mending their nets. And He called them,

4:22and immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him.

4:23And Yahusha went about all Galil, teaching in their congregations, and proclaiming the Good News of the reign, and healing every disease and every bodily weakness among the people.

4:24And news about Him went out into all Suria. And they brought to Him all who were sick, afflicted with various diseases and pains, and those who were demon-possessed, and epileptics, and paralytics. And He healed them.

4:25And large crowds – from Galil, and Dekapolis, and Yerushalayim, and Yahuḏah, and beyond the Yardĕn – followed Him.

5:1But when He saw the crowds, He went up on a mountain. And when He was seated His talmidim came to Him.

5:2And having opened His mouth, He was teaching them, saying,

5:3“Baruḵ are the poor in spirit, because theirs is the reign of the shamayim.

5:4“Baruḵ are those who mourn, because they shall be comforted.

5:5“Baruḵ are the meek, because they shall inherit the earth.

5:6“Baruḵ are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, because they shall be filled.

5:7“Baruḵ are the compassionate, because they shall obtain compassion.

5:8“Baruḵ are the clean in heart, because they shall see Elohim.

5:9“Baruḵ are the peacemakers, because they shall be called sons of Elohim.

5:10“Baruḵ are those persecuted for righteousness’ sake, because theirs is the reign of the shamayim.

5:11“Baruḵ are you when they reproach and persecute you, and falsely say every wicked word against you, for My sake.

5:12“Rejoice and be glad, because your reward in the shamayim is great. For in this way they persecuted the neḇi’im who were before you.

5:13“You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt becomes tasteless, how shall it be seasoned? For it is no longer of any use but to be thrown out and to be trodden down by men.

5:14“You are the light of the world. It is impossible for a city to be hidden on a mountain.

5:15“Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it shines to all those in the house.

5:16“Let your light so shine before men, so that they see your good works and praise your Father who is in the shamayim.

5:17“Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah or the Neḇi’im. I did not come to destroy but to complete.

5:18“For truly, I say to you, till the shamayim and the earth pass away, one yod or one tittle shall by no means pass from the Torah till all be done.

5:19“Whoever, then, breaks one of the least of these Commands, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the reign of the shamayim; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the reign of the shamayim.

5:20“For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall by no means enter into the reign of the shamayim.

5:21“You heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder,’ and whoever murders shall be liable to judgment.

5:22“But I say to you that whoever is wroth with his brother without a cause shall be liable to judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raka!’ shall be liable to the Sanhedrin. But whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be liable to fire of Gĕy-Hinnom.

5:23“If, then, you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother holds whatever against you,

5:24leave your gift there before the altar, and go, first make peace with your brother, and then come and offer your gift.

5:25“Be well-minded with your opponent, promptly, while you are on the way with him, lest your opponent deliver you to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you be thrown into prison.

5:26“Truly, I say to you, you shall by no means get out of there till you have paid the last quarter.

5:27“You heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’

5:28“But I say to you that everyone looking at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

5:29“And if your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is better for you that one of your members perish, than for your entire body to be thrown into Gĕy-Hinnom.

5:30“And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away from you. For it is better for you that one of your members perish, than for your entire body to be thrown into Gĕy-Hinnom.

5:31“And it has been said, ‘Whoever puts away his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’

5:32“But I say to you that whoever puts away his wife, except for the matter of whoring, makes her commit adultery. And whoever marries a woman who has been put away commits adultery.

5:33“Again, you heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform your oaths to Yahuah.’

5:34“But I say to you, do not swear falsely at all, neither by the shamayim, because it is Elohim’s throne;

5:35nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Yerushalayim, for it is the city of the great Sovereign;

5:36nor swear by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black.

5:37“But let your word ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No.’ And what goes beyond these is from the wicked one.

5:38“You heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth,’

5:39but I say to you, do not resist the wicked. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.

5:40“And he who wants to sue you and take away your inner garment, let him have your outer garment as well.

5:41“And whoever compels you to go one miliyon, go with him two.

5:42“Give to him who asks of you, and from him who wants to borrow from you, do not turn away.

5:43“You heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’

5:44“But I say to you, love your enemies, baraḵ those cursing you, do good to those hating you, and pray for those insulting you and persecuting you,

5:45so that you become sons of your Father in the shamayim. Because He makes His sun rise on the wicked and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous.

5:46“For if you love those loving you, what reward have you? Are the tax collectors not doing the same too?

5:47“And if you greet your brothers only, what do you do more? Are the tax collectors not doing so too?

5:48“Therefore, be perfect, as your Father in the shamayim is perfect.
