Chapter 5
第五章
The Sermon on the Mount
山上講道
1. When Jmmanuel saw the people following him, he went up a hill and sat down; and his disciples came to him.
以馬內利（Jmmanuel）見眾人跟隨著他，於是就走上一座小山上坐下，他的門徒也都跟了上來。
2.And he taught them, saying:
他開始教導他們，說道：
［中譯者註：以下這段，在《聖經》中被稱為「山上寶訓」（Sermon on the Mount），當中最著名的是「天國八福」，這一段話被認為是基督徒言行及生活規範的準則。（資料來自維基百科）］
3."Blessed are those who are rich in spirit and recognize the truth, for life is theirs.
「那些對靈識（in spirit）有深刻認知的人，還有那些認識到真相的人，都是被祝福的，因為他們擁有真正的生命。
4."Blessed are those who endure hardship, for they shall thus recognize truth and be comforted.
那些堅忍不拔的人，是受到祝福的，因為他們會因此而認識到真相並受到安慰。
5."Blessed are the spiritually balanced, for they shall possess knowledge.
那些在靈性方面保持平衡的人，是受到祝福的，因為他們可以獲得知識。
6."Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for truth and knowledge, for they shall be satisfied.
那些對真相和知識求知若渴的人，是受到祝福的，因為他們將得到滿足。
7."Blessed are those who live according to the laws of nature, for they live according to the plan of Creation.
那些按照自然法則（the laws of nature）生活的人，是受到祝福的，因為他們遵循了造化（Creation）安排的方式生活。
［中譯者註：本章各段談話（包含以下各段），在《新約聖經》中的《馬太福音》第五章中都有類似語意的記載，當然在那些千錘百鍊的中文翻譯經書中，句句都充滿著敬天的聖思。撇開這些，經書與本章各段的內涵頗有雷同，但唯一最大的差異，在於對「造化」（Creation；或譯為「造物」；又稱為「宇宙意識」）的認知；經書中大都將這種既深邃又廣袤的抽象概念描述為「上帝」或「天父」之類擬人化的稱呼，甚至「耶穌基督」都被視為上帝之子。
對於「造化」之難以理解，即使是高等的外星人都自嘆難窺其奧秘，何況是我們這些平凡的地球人，更別說那些兩千年前的一般民眾了。所以，當時以「上帝」、「天國」等名稱來描述那種無比深奧崇高的境界，這也是不得已而為之的事… 不知各位讀者先進以為然否？！（請參閱維基百科「山上寶訓」有關資料）］
8. "Blessed are those who have a clear conscience, for they need not fear.
那些在意識上保持清醒的人，是受到祝福的，因為他們不會有恐懼。
9."Blessed are those who know about Creation, for they are not enslaved by false teachings.
那些瞭解造化的人，是受到祝福的，因為他們不會被虛假的教義所奴役。
10. "Blessed are the righteous, for nature is subject to them.
那些心懷正義的人，是受到祝福的，因為大自然是屬於他們的。
11. "Blessed are you if, on my account and because of our teachings, people revile and persecute you and speak all manner of evil against you; thus they lie about the teachings.
如果你們相信我和我的教導，你們也將受到祝福。而其他人唾棄你，迫害你，對你說出各種邪惡的言語；那麼他們的教義便是謊言。
12. "Be of good cheer and take comfort; this life and the next life will reward you. For so have the belittlers of the truth persecuted the prophets who were before you, and so will they also persecute you.
保持振作，處之泰然，你們將會在今生和來世中得到回饋。他們會貶低真相，迫害那些先知，他們也會迫害你們。
13. "You are the salt of the Earth, and if the salt loses its flavor with what would one salt? It is useless henceforth, except it be thrown out and stepped on by the people.
你們是地上的鹽，如果鹽失去了鹹味，那麼它還剩下什麼呢？從此就沒有用了，結果就是任人拋棄，被人們踩在腳下。
14. "You are the light of the world, and consider: The city that lies on top of a mountain cannot be hidden.
你們是這個世界的光，想想看：在山頂上的城市是不可能被遮擋的。
15. "One does not light a candle and place it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; thus it shines for all those who are in the house.
如果一個人點了蠟燭，他是不會將蠟燭放在“斗”（bushel）下面的，而是放在燭臺上；這樣燭光就可以照亮屋裡所有的人。
［中譯者註：這句的“bushel”一詞中譯名稱是“蒲式耳”，又稱“英斗”，是英制的容量及重量單位，於英國及美國通用，主要用於量度乾貨，尤其是農產品的重量。通常1蒲式耳等於8加侖（約36.37公升），但不同的農產品對蒲式耳的定義各有不同。（資料來自《維基百科》）］

17. "Do not think that I have come to do away with the law or the prophet; I have come not to undo, but to fulfill and to reveal the knowledge.

22. "However, I say to you: Exercise justice according to the natural laws of Creation, so that you find the judgment in logic.
然而，我告訴你們：要根據造物的自然法則（the natural laws of Creation）來評斷公道，這樣你才能以邏輯來進行判斷。
23. "Guilty are all those who kill when not acting in self-defense or according to legal verdict based on self-defense. Likewise, guilty are all those who engage in evil speech and actions.

還有人說：“凡是與配偶離婚的人，應該交出離婚證書。”

但我告訴你們：凡是與配偶分離的，除非是為了通姦，否則就是犯了通姦罪；凡是與離婚時有罪的人再結婚的人，也是犯了通姦罪。
