The Thing Dem Matthew Write
5 When Jesus saw the plenty people, he went up the mountain and after he sit down, his disciple dem came to him. 2 Then he started teaching them, he say:
3 “People who know da they really need God in their life* can be happy, because the Kingdom da in heaven will be for them.
4 “People who grieving can be happy, because they will find comfort.
5 “People who humble can be happy, because God will give them the earth.
6 “People who really want do the thing dem da good in God eye can be happy, because they will be satisfy.
7 “Those who can feel sorry for people can be happy, because they* will feel sorry for them too.
8 “People who get clean heart can be happy, because they will see God.
9 “People who can make peace can be happy, because God will call them his children.*
10 “People who they treat bad for doing the right thing can be happy, because the Kingdom da in heaven will be for them.
11 “Be happy when people cuss you, treat you bad, lie on you and say all kindna wicked things about you for my business. 12 Be very happy because da not small blessing in heaven for you, in fact way back da just how they use to treat the prophet dem bad.
13 “Da yor the salt for the earth, but if the salt not tasting like salt again, how it will get da taste back? You can’t use it for anything except to throw it outside for people to walk on it.
14 “Da yor the light for the world. Everybody can see the city when it on top of the mountain. 15 When people light the lamp, they can’t put it under the basket,* but they can put the lamp on the stand so it can shine on everybody in the house. 16 Da the same way yor mon let your light shine in front of everybody, so they can see your good works and praise your Father who in heaven.
17 “Don’t think say I come stop people from following the law or the things the Prophet dem say. Da not what I come for, but I come to make the thing dem the law say come true. 18 To tell yor the truth, even if heaven and earth pass away, one letter or part of the letter will not move from in the Law until everything happen. 19 So anybody who not obey one of the commandments da people think not important and teach other people to do the same thing, will not be fit* to enter the Kingdom da in heaven. But anybody who obey the commandments and teach other people about it, will be fit* to enter the Kingdom da in heaven. 20 To tell yor the truth, if yor not do the things da right in God eye more than the scribes and the Pharisees, yor will never enter the Kingdom da in heaven.
21 “Yor know what they say to the people way back: ‘You mon not kill. But anybody who kill, they will carry them to court.’ 22 But I tell you da anybody who continue to be vex with his brother, they will carry him to court. And anybody who disgrace his brother by cussing him, they will carry him to the Supreme Court.* Also, anybody who tell another person say, ‘You useless fool!’ they will carry him to Ge·hen′na* the place da burning with fire.
23 “So if you come with your gift to the altar and while you there you remember da your brother vex with you, 24 leave your gift in front of the altar, and go make peace with your brother first. And then come back and offer your gift.
25 “If somebody get problem with you, be quick to settle it when yor on the road to the court, so da the person can’t carry you to the judge and the judge give you to the person who will carry you in jail. 26 To tell you the truth, you will never be free from jail until you pay your last small coin.*
27 “Yor know what they say: ‘You mon not commit adultery.’ 28 But I tell yor da anybody who continue looking at woman until he want lay down with her, he already na commit adultery with her in his heart. 29 So if your right eye making you to sin, take it out and throw it away. Because it better for you to lose one of your eyeball than for your whole body to be destroy in Ge·hen′na. 30 Also, if your right hand making you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. Because it better for you to lose one of your hand than for your whole body to be destroy in Ge·hen′na.
31 “Still they say: ‘Anybody who divorce his wife, he mon give her divorce certificate.’ 32 But I say to you, anybody who divorce his wife if she not commit sexual immorality,* he put her in the position da can make her to commit adultery, and anybody who marry woman they divorce like this, commit adultery.
33 “Again you know what they say to people way back: ‘You mon not swear in vain, but you mon do what you promise Jehovah.’ 34 But I say to you: Don’t swear at all. Don’t swear by heaven because da God throne; 35 or by earth, because da the stool for his feet; or by Jerusalem because da the city of the great King. 36 Don’t swear by your life,* because you not able to make one hair white or black. 37 Just let your ‘Yes’ mean yes, and let your ‘No’ mean no, because anything beside this one coming from Satan.*
38 “You know da they say: ‘Eye for eye and teeth for teeth.’ 39 But I say to you: Don’t fight against anybody da wicked, but if anybody slap you on your right jaw, turn the other side to him. 40 And if somebody want carry you to court to take your shirt, you mon also give him your coat; 41 and if somebody in high position force you to carry load for one mile, carry it for two miles. 42 If somebody beg you for something, give it to him and don’t turn your back on somebody who want credit* from you.
43 “You know da they say: ‘You mon love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you: Continue to love your enemies and pray for people who can treat you bad, 45 so you can prove da you children* of your Father who in heaven, because he can make his sun to shine on the wicked people and on the good people, and he can make the rain to fall on those who can do good things and those who can do bad things. 46 If you only love people who love you, what the benefit you get? Ehn da the same thing the tax collector dem doing too? 47 And if you can only speak to your brothers, what the big thing you na do? Ehn people from other nations can do the same thing? 48 So you mon be perfect* just how your Father who in heaven Perfect.
