3 Blessed {are} the poor in spirit, for *theirs* is the kingdom of the heavens.
4 Blessed they that mourn, for *they* shall be comforted.
5 Blessed the meek, for *they* shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed they who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for *they* shall be filled.
7 Blessed the merciful, for *they* shall find mercy.
8 Blessed the pure in heart, for *they* shall see God.
9 Blessed the peace-makers, for *they* shall be called sons of God.
10 Blessed they who are persecuted on account of righteousness, for *theirs* is the kingdom of the heavens.
11 Blessed are ye when they may reproach and persecute you, and say every wicked thing against you, lying, for my sake.
12 Rejoice and exult, for your reward is great in the heavens; for thus have they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
3 Ka koa te hunga he rawakore nei te wairua: no ratou hoki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.
4 Ka koa te hunga e tangi ana: ka whakamarietia hoki ratou.
5 Ka koa te hunga ngakau mahaki: ka riro hoki i a ratou te whenua.
6 Ka koa te hunga e hiakai ana, e hiainu ana, ki te tika: e makona hoki ratou.
7 Ka koa te hunga tohu tangata: e tohungia hoki ratou.
8 Ka koa te hunga ngakau ma: e kite hoki ratou i te Atua.
9 Ka koa te hunga hohou rongo: ka huaina hoki ratou he tamariki na te Atua.
10 Ka koa te hunga e whakatoia ana mo te tika: no ratou hoki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.
11 Ka koa koutou ina tawai ratou i a koutou, ina whakatoi, ina puaki i a ratou nga kupu kino katoa mo koutou, he mea teka, he whakaaro hoki ki ahau.
12 Kia hari, kia whakamanamana: he rahi hoki te utu mo koutou i te rangi: he penei hoki ta ratou whakatoi i nga poropiti i mua i a koutou.
