3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. 7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. 10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

3 Salige er de fattige i ånden; for himlenes rike er deres.

4 Salige er de som sørger; for de skal trøstes.

5 Salige er de saktmodige; for de skal arve jorden.

6 Salige er de som hungrer og tørster efter rettferdighet; for de skal mettes.

7 Salige er de barmhjertige; for de skal finne barmhjertighet.

8 Salige er de rene av hjertet; for de skal se Gud.

9 Salige er de fredsommelige; for de skal kalles Guds barn.

10 Salige er de som er forfulgt for rettferdighets skyld; for himlenes rike er deres.

11 Salige er I når de spotter og forfølger eder og lyver eder allehånde ondt på for min skyld.

12 Gled og fryd eder! for eders lønn er stor i himmelen; for således forfulgte de profetene før eder.
