To him who strikes you
"If anyone hits you"
on the one cheek
"on one side of your face"
offer him also the other

do not withhold
"do not prevent him from taking"
Give to everyone who asks you
This can be translated as "If anyone asks you for something, give it to him."
do not ask him
"do not require him" or "do not demand"
