Mateo 5

Studie

   

1 Kaj vidinte la homamasojn, li supreniris sur la monton, kaj kiam li sidigxis, liaj discxiploj venis al li;

2 kaj malferminte la busxon, li instruis ilin, dirante:

3 Felicxaj estas la malricxaj en spirito, cxar ilia estas la regno de la cxielo.

4 Felicxaj estas la plorantaj, cxar ili konsoligxos.

5 Felicxaj estas la humilaj, cxar ili heredos la teron.

6 Felicxaj estas tiuj, kiuj malsatas kaj soifas justecon, cxar ili satigxos.

7 Felicxaj estas la kompatemaj, cxar ili ricevos kompaton.

8 Felicxaj estas la kore puraj, cxar ili vidos Dion.

9 Felicxaj estas la pacigantoj, cxar filoj de Dio ili estos nomataj.

10 Felicxaj estas tiuj, kiuj estas persekutitaj pro justeco, cxar ilia estas la regno de la cxielo.

11 Felicxaj estas vi, kiam oni vin riprocxos kaj persekutos kaj false vin kalumnios pro mi.

12 GXoju kaj ravigxu, cxar via rekompenco estos granda en la cxielo; cxar tiel oni persekutis la profetojn, kiuj estis antaux vi.

13 Vi estas la salo de la tero; sed se la salo sengustigxis, per kio gxi estos salita? gxi jam tauxgas por nenio, krom por esti eljxetita kaj piedpremita de homoj.

14 Vi estas la lumo de la mondo. Urbo starigita sur monto ne povas esti kasxita.

15 Kiam oni bruligas lampon, oni metas gxin ne sub grenmezurilon, sed sur la lampingon; kaj gxi lumas sur cxiujn, kiuj estas en la domo.

16 Tiel same via lumo lumu antaux homoj, por ke ili vidu viajn bonajn farojn, kaj gloru vian Patron, kiu estas en la cxielo.

17 Ne pensu, ke mi venis, por detrui la legxon aux la profetojn; mi venis, ne por detrui, sed por plenumi.

18 Vere mi diras al vi:GXis la cxielo kaj la tero forpasos, nek unu joto nek unu streketo forpasos de la legxo, gxis cxio plenumigxos.

19 Tial, kiu malobservos unu el cxi tiuj plej malgrandaj ordonoj kaj tiel instruos homojn, tiu estos nomata la plej malgranda en la regno de la cxielo; sed kiu faros ilin kaj instruos, tiu estos nomata granda en la regno de la cxielo.

20 CXar mi diras al vi, ke se via justeco ne superos la justecon de la skribistoj kaj la Fariseoj, vi tute ne eniros en la regnon de la cxielo.

21 Vi auxdis, ke estas dirite al la antikvuloj:Ne mortigu, kaj kiu mortigos, tiu estos en dangxero de jugxado;

22 sed mi diras al vi, ke kiu koleras kontraux sia frato, tiu estos en dangxero de jugxado; kaj kiu diros al sia frato:Raka, tiu estos en dangxero de la sinedrio; kaj kiu diros:Malsagxulo, tiu estos en dangxero de Gehena de fajro.

23 Tial, se vi prezentas vian oferon cxe la altaro, kaj tie memoras, ke via frato havas ion kontraux vi,

24 lasu tie vian oferon antaux la altaro, kaj foriru, unue pacigxu kun via frato, kaj poste venu kaj prezentu vian oferon.

25 Konsentu rapide kun via kontrauxulo, dum vi estas kun li sur la vojo, por ke la kontrauxulo ne transdonu vin al la jugxisto, kaj la jugxisto al la subulo, kaj por ke vi ne estu jxetita en malliberejon.

26 Vere mi diras al vi, ke vi neniel eliros el tie, gxis vi pagos la lastan kodranton.

27 Vi auxdis, ke estas dirite:Ne adultu;

28 sed mi diras al vi, ke cxiu, kiu rigardas virinon, por deziri sxin, jam adultis je sxi en sia koro.

29 Kaj se via dekstra okulo faligas vin, elsxiru kaj forjxetu gxin; cxar estus pli bone por vi, se unu el viaj membroj pereus, ol se via tuta korpo estus jxetita en Gehenan.

30 Kaj se via dekstra mano faligas vin, detrancxu kaj forjxetu gxin; cxar estus pli bone por vi, se unu el viaj membroj pereus, ol se via tuta korpo irus en Gehenan.

31 Estas ankaux dirite:Kiu forsendos sian edzinon, tiu donu al sxi eksedzigan leteron;

32 sed mi diras al vi, ke cxiu, kiu forsendas sian edzinon, krom pro malcxasteco, igas sxin adulti; kaj kiu edzigxos kun forsenditino, tiu adultas.

33 Plue, vi auxdis, ke estas dirite al la antikvuloj:Ne rompu jxurojn, sed plenumu viajn jxurojn antaux la Eternulo;

34 sed mi diras al vi:Tute ne jxuru; nek per la cxielo, cxar gxi estas la trono de Dio;

35 nek per la tero, cxar gxi estas la benketo de Liaj piedoj; nek per Jerusalem, cxar gxi estas urbo de la granda Regxo.

36 Nek jxuru per via kapo, cxar vi ne povas fari ecx unu haron blanka aux nigra.

37 Sed via parolo estu:Jes, jes, ne, ne; cxio ekster tio estas el malbono.

38 Vi auxdis, ke estas dirite:Okulon pro okulo, kaj denton pro dento;

39 sed mi diras al vi:Ne rezistu al malbono; sed al tiu, kiu frapas vian dekstran vangon, turnu ankaux la alian.

40 Kaj se iu deziras procesi kontraux vi, por forpreni vian tunikon, lasu lin preni ankaux vian mantelon.

41 Kaj se iu devigas vin iri unu mejlon, iru kun li du.

42 Donu al tiu, kiu petas de vi; kaj ne deturnu vin de tiu, kiu deziras prunti de vi.

43 Vi auxdis, ke estas dirite:Amu vian proksimulon, kaj malamu vian malamikon;

44 sed mi diras al vi:Amu viajn malamikojn, kaj pregxu por viaj persekutantoj;

45 por ke vi estu filoj de via Patro, kiu estas en la cxielo; cxar Li levas Sian sunon sur la malbonulojn kaj bonulojn, kaj sendas pluvon sur la justulojn kaj la maljustulojn.

46 CXar se vi amas tiujn, kiuj amas vin, kian rekompencon vi havas? cxu ne tion saman faras ecx la impostistoj?

47 Kaj se vi salutas nur sole viajn fratojn, kion ekstran vi faras? cxu ne tion saman faras ecx la nacianoj?

48 Estu do perfektaj, kiel ankaux via cxiela Patro estas perfekta.

9857. 'And you shall make a breastplate of judgement' means that which has regard to Divine Truth shining forth from Divine Good. This is clear from the meaning of 'a breastplate' as Divine Truth shining forth from the Lord's Divine Good within last and lowest things, dealt with in 9823. It is called 'a breastplate of judgement' because it gave answers, and through these Divine Truth was revealed; furthermore Divine Truth, and therefore doctrinal teachings and a life in accord with them, is meant in the Word by 'judgement'. This then is why this breastplate is referred to as 'the breastplate of judgement', and also further on in this chapter as 'the judgement', in verse 30 - 'Aaron shall carry the judgement of the children of Israel over his heart before Jehovah continually'. And when Joshua was chosen to be leader of the people, it says that he was to stand before Eleazar the priest, who would inquire for him by the judgement of the Urim before Jehovah, Numbers 27:21.

[2] 'Judgement' means Divine Truth and intelligence springing from It, as a consequence of which it means religious teachings and a life in accord with them. This is clear from a large number of places in the Word, such as the following: In Isaiah,

The vineyard of Jehovah Zebaoth is the house of Israel. He looked for judgement, but behold, festering; for righteousness, but behold, a cry. Isaiah 5:7.

'Looking for judgement' means intelligence springing from Divine Truth, and a life in accord with the commandments. In the same prophet,

On the throne there sat in truthfulness, in the tabernacle of David, one who judges and seeks judgement. Isaiah 16:5.

This refers to the Lord's Coming. 'The throne' on which He is going to sit means Divine Truth that emanates from Him, and consequently means the spiritual kingdom, see 2129, 5313, 6397, 8625, 9039. 'Judging judgement' means teaching Divine Truth, and 'seeking judgement' people's acceptance of it.

[3] In the same prophet,

On that day Jehovah will be a tiara of beauty for the remnant of His people, and a spirit of judgement to him who sits in judgement. Isaiah 28:5-6.

'A tiara of beauty', when these words have reference to Jehovah, that is, the Lord, means Divine Intelligence, see above in 9827; and 'a spirit of judgement' means wisdom that springs from Divine Truth, 9818. 'To him who sits in judgement' means one who informs people about or teaches Divine Truth. In the same prophet,

Jehovah has filled Zion with judgement and righteousness. Isaiah 33:5.

'Zion' stands for the celestial Church, 'being filled with judgement' for intelligence that springs from Divine Truth, and 'being filled with righteousness' for wisdom that comes from Divine Good.

[4] In the same prophet,

Who has directed the Spirit of Jehovah? With whom did He deliberate, that He might make Him intelligent, and instruct Him in the way of judgement, and teach Him knowledge, and show Him the way of intelligence? Isaiah 40:13-14.

'The Spirit of Jehovah' means Divine Truth, 9818. 'Instructing Him in the way of judgement' self-evidently means making him knowledgeable, intelligent, and wise. In Jeremiah,

The stork in the sky knows her appointed times, but Jehovah's people do not know the judgement of Jehovah. How can you say, We are wise, and the law of Jehovah is with us? Jeremiah 8:7-8.

'Not knowing the judgement of Jehovah' stands for ignorance of Divine Truth, the source of wisdom; and this is why it says, 'How can you say, We are wise?'

[5] In the same prophet,

Woe to him who builds his house without righteousness, and his upper rooms without judgement! Jeremiah 22:13.

'Building upper rooms without judgement' stands for absorbing ideas that are not true. In Hosea,

I will betroth you to Me forever in righteousness and in judgement, and I will betroth you to Me in truth. Hosea 2:19-20.

'Betrothing in judgement' stands for joining by means of Divine Truth, thus by means of faith and the life of faith. In Amos,

Let judgement flow like water, and righteousness like a mighty torrent. Amos 5:24.

In the same prophet,

You have turned judgement into poison and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood. Amos 6:12.

Here also 'judgement' stands for intelligence that springs from Divine Truth, and for a life based on this.

[6] In Zephaniah,

Jehovah in the morning will bring His judgement to light. Zephaniah 3:5.

'Bringing judgement to light' stands for revealing Divine Truth. In Moses,

All the ways of Jehovah are judgement. Deuteronomy 32:4.

In David,

O Jehovah, Your truth reaches up to the skies, Your righteousness is like the mountains of God, Your judgements [like] the great abyss. Psalms 36:5-6.

In the same author,

Jehovah will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your judgement as the noonday. Psalms 37:6.

In the same author,

Hear my voice according to Your mercy; O Jehovah, revive me according to Your judgements. Psalms 119:149.

In these places 'judgement' and 'judgements' stand for Divine Truth.

[7] In Luke,

Woe to you Pharisees! You pass by the judgement and the love of God. These you ought to have done. Luke 11:42.

'Passing by the judgement of God' stands for shunning Divine Truth, and 'passing by the love of God' for shunning Divine Good and a life inspired by them both. The fact that this life is also meant accounts for their being told, These you ought to have done. In Isaiah,

Jehovah Zebaoth will be exalted in judgement, and God will be made holy in righteousness. Isaiah 5:16.

In the same author,

... upon the throne of David to establish the kingdom in judgement and in righteousness, from now and even for evermore. Isaiah 9:7.

In the same author,

Give counsel, execute judgement, set your shade like the night in the middle of the day. Isaiah 16:3.

'Executing judgement' stands for acting in accordance with God's truth.

[8] In Jeremiah,

I will raise up for David a righteous branch, who will execute judgement and righteousness in the land. Jeremiah 23:5; 33:15.

In Ezekiel,

If a man has been righteous, one who has executed judgement and righteousness ... [if he] walks in My statutes, and keeps My judgements, to execute truth, he is righteous; he will surely live. Ezekiel 18:5, 9.

In Zephaniah,

Seek Jehovah, O all the meek of the earth, who have executed His judgement. Zephaniah 2:3.

'Executing God's judgement' stands for carrying out Divine Truth or acting in accord with it. In Isaiah,

I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth judgement to the nations. He will not quench nor will He break until He has set judgement on the earth. Isaiah 42:1, 4.

This refers to the Lord. 'Bringing forth judgement to the nations' and 'setting judgement on the earth' stand for teaching Divine Truth and establishing it in the Church.

[9] In the same prophet,

Law will go out from Me, and I will raise up My judgement to be the light of peoples. Isaiah 51:4.

'Judgement' stands for Divine Truth, 'to be the light of peoples' for to bring enlightenment. In John,

For judgement I came 1 into this world, that those who do not see may see, but those who see may become blind. John 9:39.

'Coming into the world for judgement' stands for coming to reveal Divine Truth, which gives people vision if the Lord is the source of their wisdom, but makes them blind if they themselves are the source of it and on account of this are reputed to be learned.

[10] In Jeremiah,

Swear by the living Jehovah, in truth, in judgement, and in righteousness. Jeremiah 4:2.

In the same prophet,

There is none judging judgement for healthiness; you have no restorative medicaments. Jeremiah 30:13.

In David,

Righteousness and judgement are the support of Your throne; mercy and truth will stand firm before Your face. Psalms 89:14.

'Righteousness' stands for the good that belongs to mercy, and 'judgement' for the truth that belongs to faith, which is why the expression 'mercy and truth' is also used. In Ezekiel,

Jerusalem has changed My judgements into wickedness more than the nations, and My statutes more than the lands. Therefore I will execute in you [My] judgements in the eyes of the nations, and I will scatter all your remnant. Ezekiel 5:6-8, 10, 15.

'Changing judgements' stands for altering truths as they exist in the civic state, these truths being meant by 'judgements' when 'statutes' are also mentioned, see 8972. But 'executing judgements' means passing judgement that points to death, which is damnation, or to life, which is salvation. Salvation or damnation is also meant by 'judgement' when the expression 'day of judgement' or 'hour of judgement' is used, for example in Matthew 11:22, 24; 12:36, 41-42; Luke 10:14; 11:31-32; John 5:28-29; Revelation 14:7; 18:10. The same thing is also meant by 'judgement' when judgement-making is referred to, for example in Matthew 5:21-22; 7:1-2; 23:14, 33; John 5:24, 26-27; 7:24; 8:15-16; 12:31, 47-48; Luke 6:37; 12:13-14, 56-57; 19:21-22; 20:47; 22:30; Mark 12:40; Isaiah 3:14; 41:1; Jeremiah 25:31; 48:21; Joel 3:12; Psalms 7:7-8; 9:4, 7-8; Leviticus 19:15; Deuteronomy 1:16-17; 25:1; Revelation 17:1; 18:10; 20:12-13.
