耶穌見眾，登山而坐，門徒既集，啟口教之曰：
Jesus saw the crowds and went up a hill, where he sat down. His disciples gathered around him, and he began to teach them:
虛心者福矣，以天國乃其國也；哀慟者福矣，以其將受慰也；溫柔者福矣，以其將得土也；飢渴慕義者福矣，以其將得飽也；矜恤者福矣，以其將見矜恤也；清心者福矣，以其將見上帝也；和平者福矣，以其將稱為上帝子也；為義而見窘逐者福矣，以天國乃其國也。
"Happy are those who mourn; God will comfort them!
"Happy are those who are humble; they will receive what God has promised!
"Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires; God will satisfy them fully!
"Happy are those who are merciful to others; God will be merciful to them!
"Happy are the pure in heart; they will see God!
"Happy are those who work for peace; God will call them his children!
"Happy are those who are persecuted because they do what God requires; the Kingdom of heaven belongs to them!
"Happy are you when people insult you and persecute you and tell all kinds of evil lies against you because you are my followers. Be happy and glad, for a great reward is kept for you in heaven. This is how the prophets who lived before you were persecuted.
爾如地之鹽，鹽失其味，何以復之？後必無用，惟棄於外，為人所踐耳。
"You are like salt for the whole human race. But if salt loses its saltiness, there is no way to make it salty again. It has become worthless, so it is thrown out and people trample on it.
爾乃世之光，猶建邑於山，不能隱藏。人燃燈不置斗下，乃在台上者，普照家人也。如是，爾光當照乎人，俾見爾善行，歸榮爾天父焉。
"You are like light for the whole world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid. No one lights a lamp and puts it under a bowl; instead it is put on the lampstand, where it gives light for everyone in the house. In the same way your light must shine before people, so that they will see the good things you do and praise your Father in heaven."
