| 33 Πάλιν ἠκούσατε ὅτι ἐρρέθη τοῖς ἀρχαίοις, οὐκ ἐπιορκήσεις, ἀποδώσεις δὲ τῷ κυρίῳ τοὺς ὅρκους σου. 34 ἐγὼ δὲ λέγω ὑμῖν μὴ ὀμόσαι ὅλως: μήτε ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ, ὅτι θρόνος ἐστὶν τοῦ θεοῦ: 35 μήτε ἐν τῇ γῇ, ὅτι ὑποπόδιόν ἐστιν τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ: μήτε εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα, ὅτι πόλις ἐστὶν τοῦ μεγάλου βασιλέως: 36 μήτε ἐν τῇ κεφαλῇ σου ὀμόσῃς, ὅτι οὐ δύνασαι μίαν τρίχα λευκὴν ποιῆσαι ἢ μέλαιναν. 37 ἔστω δὲ ὁ λόγος ὑμῶν ναὶ ναί, οὒ οὔ: τὸ δὲ περισσὸν τούτων ἐκ τοῦ πονηροῦ ἐστιν. 38 Ἠκούσατε ὅτι ἐρρέθη, ὀφθαλμὸν ἀντὶ ὀφθαλμοῦ καὶ ὀδόντα ἀντὶ ὀδόντος. 39 ἐγὼ δὲ λέγω ὑμῖν μὴ ἀντιστῆναι τῷ πονηρῷ: ἀλλ' ὅστις σε ῥαπίζει εἰς τὴν δεξιὰν σιαγόνα, σου στρέψον αὐτῷ καὶ τὴν ἄλλην: 40 καὶ τῷ θέλοντί σοι κριθῆναι καὶ τὸν χιτῶνά σου λαβεῖν, ἄφες αὐτῷ καὶ τὸ ἱμάτιον: 41 καὶ ὅστις σε ἀγγαρεύσει μίλιον ἕν, ὕπαγε μετ' αὐτοῦ δύο. 42 τῷ αἰτοῦντί σε δός, καὶ τὸν θέλοντα ἀπὸ σοῦ δανίσασθαι μὴ ἀποστραφῇς. |
33 Again, you have heard that it was said to the men of old, Thou shalt not perjure thyself; thou shalt perform what thou hast sworn in the sight of the Lord.[4] 34 But I tell you that you should not bind yourselves by any oath at all: not by heaven, for heaven is God’s throne; 35 nor by earth, for earth is the footstool under his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great king. 36 And thou shalt not swear by thy own head, for thou hast no power to turn a single hair of it white or black. 37 Let your word be Yes for Yes, and No for No; whatever goes beyond this, comes of evil. 38 You have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.[5] 39 But I tell you that you should not offer resistance to injury; if a man strikes thee on thy right cheek, turn the other cheek also towards him; 40 if he is ready to go to law with thee over thy coat, let him have it and thy cloak with it; 41 if he compels thee to attend him on a mile’s journey, go two miles with him of thy own accord. 42 Give to him who asks, and if a man would borrow from thee, do not turn away. |
33 Iterum audistis quia dictum est antiquis: Non perjurabis: reddes autem Domino juramenta tua. 34 Ego autem dico vobis, non jurare omnino, neque per cælum, quia thronus Dei est: 35 neque per terram, quia scabellum est pedum ejus: neque per Jerosolymam, quia civitas est magni regis: 36 neque per caput tuum juraveris, quia non potes unum capillum album facere, aut nigrum. 37 Sit autem sermo vester, est, est: non, non: quod autem his abundantius est, a malo est. 38 Audistis quia dictum est: Oculum pro oculo, et dentem pro dente. 39 Ego autem dico vobis, non resistere malo: sed si quis te percusserit in dexteram maxillam tuam, præbe illi et alteram: 40 et ei, qui vult tecum judicio contendere, et tunicam tuam tollere, dimitte ei et pallium: 41 et quicumque te angariaverit mille passus, vade cum illo et alia duo. 42 Qui petit a te, da ei: et volenti mutuari a te, ne avertaris. |
