Καί And καταβάς having descended μετ ̓ with αὐτῶν them, ἔστη He stood ἐπί on τόπου a place πεδινοῦ, level, καί and ὄχλος a crowd πολύς large μαθητῶν of disciples αὐτοῦ, of Him, καί and πλῆθος a multitude πολύ great τοῦ of the λαοῦ people ἀπό from πάσης all τῆς - Ἰουδαίας Judea, καί and Ἰερουσαλήμ Jerusalem, καί and τῆς the παραλίου sea coast Τύρου of Tyre, καί and Σιδῶνος, Sidon, οἵ who ἦλθον came ἀκοῦσαι to hear αὐτοῦ Him καί and ἰαθῆναι to be healed ἀπό of τῶν the νόσων diseases αὐτῶν· of them. καί And οἱ those ἐνοχλούμενοι troubled ἀπό with πνευμάτων spirits ἀκαθάρτων unclean ἐθεραπεύοντο, were healed. καί And πᾶς all ὁ the ὄχλος multitude ἐζήτουν were seeking ἅπτεσθαι to touch αὐτοῦ, Him, ὅτι because δύναμις power παρ ̓ from αὐτοῦ Him ἐξήρχετο was going out καί and ἰᾶτο healing πάντας. all.

Καί And αὐτός He, ἐπάρας having lifted up τούς the ὀφθαλμούς gaze αὐτοῦ of Him εἰς upon τούς the μαθητάς disciples αὐτοῦ of Him, ἔλεγεν· was saying: Μακάριοι Blessed [are] οἱ the πτωχοί, poor, Ὅτι for ὑμετέρα yours ἐστίν is ἡ the βασιλεία kingdom τοῦ - Θεοῦ. of God.

Ἀλλά But ὑμῖν to you λέγω I say, τοῖς to those ἀκούουσιν· hearing: Ἀγαπᾶτε Love τούς the ἐχθρούς enemies ὑμῶν, of you, καλῶς good ποιεῖτε do τοῖς to those μισοῦσιν hating ὑμᾶς, you, εὐλογεῖτε bless τούς those καταρωμένους cursing ὑμᾶς, you, προσεύχεσθε pray περί for τῶν those ἐπηρεαζόντων mistreating ὑμᾶς. you. τῷ To the [one] τύπτοντι striking σε you ἐπί on τήν the σιαγόνα cheek, πάρεχε offer καί also τήν the ἄλλην, other; καί and ἀπό from τοῦ the [one] αἴροντος taking away σου your τό - ἱμάτιον cloak, καί also τόν the χιτῶνα tunic μή not κωλύσῃς. do withhold. παντί To everyone αἰτοῦντι asking σε you, δίδου, give, καί and ἀπό from τοῦ the [one] αἴροντος taking away τά what [is] σά yours, μή not ἀπαίτει. ask [it] back.
