مَتَّى 6
| احْذَرُوا مِنْ أَنْ تَعْمَلُوا الْخَيْرَ أَمَامَ النَّاسِ بِقَصْدِ أَنْ يَنْظُرُوا إِلَيْكُمْ. وَإلَّا، فَلَيْسَ لَكُمْ مُكَافَأَةٌ عِنْدَ أَبِيكُمُ الَّذِي فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ. | ١ 1 |
“Be careful not to do your charitable giving before the people so as to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father who is in the heavens.
| فَإِذَا تَصَدَّقْتَ عَلَى أَحَدٍ، فَلا تَنْفُخْ أَمَامَكَ فِي الْبُوقِ، كَمَا يَفْعَلُ الْمُنَافِقُونَ فِي الْمَجَامِعِ وَالشَّوَارِعِ، لِيَمْدَحَهُمُ النَّاسُ. الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّهُمْ قَدْ نَالُوا مُكَافَأَتَهُمْ. | ٢ 2 |
Therefore, whenever you do charitable giving do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be praised by the people. Assuredly I say to you, they already have their reward.
| أَمَّا أَنْتَ، فَعِنْدَمَا تَتَصَدَّقُ عَلَى أَحَدٍ، فَلا تَدَعْ يَدَكَ الْيُسْرَى تَعْرِفُ مَا تَفْعَلُهُ الْيُمْنَى. | ٣ 3 |
But when you do charitable giving do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
| لِتَكُونَ صَدَقَتُكَ فِي الْخَفَاءِ، وَأَبُوكَ السَّمَاوِيُّ الَّذِي يَرَى فِي الْخَفَاءِ، هُوَ يُكَافِئُكَ. | ٤ 4 |
so that your charitable giving may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself repay you openly.
| وَعِنْدَمَا تُصَلُّونَ، لَا تَكُونُوا مِثْلَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ الَّذِينَ يُحِبُّونَ أَنْ يُصَلُّوا وَاقِفِينَ فِي الْمَجَامِعِ وَفِي زَوَايَا الشَّوَارِعِ لِيَرَاهُمُ النَّاسُ. الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّهُمْ قَدْ نَالُوا مُكَافَأَتَهُمْ. | ٥ 5 |
And whenever you pray do not be like the hypocrites; for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners, so that they may be seen by the people. Assuredly I say to you that they already have their reward.
| أَمَّا أَنْتَ، فَعِنْدَمَا تُصَلِّي، فَادْخُلْ غُرْفَتَكَ، وَأَغْلِقِ الْبَابَ عَلَيْكَ، وَصَلِّ إِلَى أَبِيكَ الَّذِي فِي الْخَفَاءِ. وَأَبُوكَ الَّذِي يَرَى فِي الْخَفَاءِ، هُوَ يُكَافِئُكَ. | ٦ 6 |
But you, whenever you pray, go into your room, and having shut the door pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will repay you openly.
| وَعِنْدَمَا تُصَلُّونَ، لَا تُكَرِّرُوا كَلاماً فَارِغاً كَمَا يَفْعَلُ الْوَثَنِيُّونَ، ظَنّاً مِنْهُمْ أَنَّهُ بِالإِكْثَارِ مِنَ الْكَلامِ، يُسْتَجَابُ لَهُمْ. | ٧ 7 |
“But when you pray do not babble like the heathen; for they think that they will be heard for their many words.
| فَلا تَكُونُوا مِثْلَهُمْ، لأَنَّ أَبَاكُمْ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَحْتَاجُونَ إِلَيْهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَسْأَلُوهُ. | ٨ 8 |
So do not be like them, because your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.
| فَصَلُّوا أَنْتُمْ مِثْلَ هَذِهِ الصَّلاةِ: أَبَانَا الَّذِي فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ، لِيَتَقَدَّسِ اسْمُكَ! | ٩ 9 |
Therefore, you pray like this: ‘Our Father who is in the heavens, let Your name be reverenced;
| لِيَأْتِ مَلَكُوتُكَ! لِتَكُنْ مَشِيئَتُكَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ كَمَا هِيَ فِي السَّمَاءِ! | ١٠ 10 |
let Your kingdom come, let Your will be done, on the earth just as in heaven.
| خُبْزَنَا كَفَافَنَا أَعْطِنَا الْيَوْمَ! | ١١ 11 |
Give us today our daily bread;
| وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا، كَمَا نَغْفِرُ نَحْنُ لِلْمُذْنِبِينَ إِلَيْنَا! | ١٢ 12 |
and forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.
| وَلا تُدْخِلْنَا فِي تَجْرِبَةٍ، لَكِنْ نَجِّنَا مِنَ الشِّرِّيرِ، لأَنَّ لَكَ الْمُلْكَ وَالْقُوَّةَ وَالْمَجْدَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. آمِين. | ١٣ 13 |
And do not bring us into testing, but rescue us from the evil one; because Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.’
| فَإِنْ غَفَرْتُمْ لِلنَّاسِ زَلّاتِهِمْ، يَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ أَبُوكُمُ السَّمَاوِيُّ زَلّاتِكُمْ. | ١٤ 14 |
For if you forgive people their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
| وَإِنْ لَمْ تَغْفِرُوا لِلنَّاسِ، لَا يَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ أَبُوكُمُ السَّمَاوِيُّ زَلّاتِكُمْ. | ١٥ 15 |
But if you do not forgive people their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
| وَعِنْدَمَا تَصُومُونَ، لَا تَكُونُوا عَابِسِي الْوُجُوهِ، الْمُنَافِقُونَ الَّذِينَ يُغَيِّرُونَ وُجُوهَهُمْ لِكَيْ يَظْهَرُوا لِلنَّاسِ صَائِمِينَ. الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ إِنَّهُمْ قَدْ نَالُوا مُكَافَأَتَهُمْ. | ١٦ 16 |
“Also, whenever you fast do not become gloomy like the hypocrites, because they disfigure their faces so that people will notice that they are fasting. Assuredly I say to you that they already have their reward.
| أَمَّا أَنْتَ، فَعِنْدَمَا تَصُمْ، فَاغْسِلْ وَجْهَكَ، وَعَطِّرْ رَأْسَكَ، | ١٧ 17 |
But when you fast anoint your head and wash your face,
| لِكَيْ لَا تَظْهَرَ لِلنَّاسِ صَائِماً، بَلْ لأَبِيكَ الَّذِي فِي الْخَفَاءِ. وَأَبُوكَ الَّذِي يَرَى فِي الْخَفَاءِ، هُوَ يُكَافِئُكَ. | ١٨ 18 |
so that you do not appear to the people to be fasting, but to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will repay you.
| لَا تَكْنِزُوا لَكُمْ كُنُوزاً عَلَى الأَرْضِ، حَيْثُ يُفْسِدُهَا السُّوسُ وَالصَّدَأُ، وَيَنْقُبُ عَنْهَا اللُّصُوصُ وَيَسْرِقُونَ. | ١٩ 19 |
“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust ruin and where thieves break in and steal;
| بَلِ اكْنِزُوا لَكُمْ كُنُوزاً فِي السَّمَاءِ، حَيْثُ لَا يُفْسِدُهَا سُوسٌ وَلا يَنْقُبُ عَنْهَا لُصُوصٌ وَلا يَسْرِقُونَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust ruins and where thieves neither break in nor steal;
| فَحَيْثُ يَكُونُ كَنْزُكَ، هُنَاكَ أَيْضاً يَكُونُ قَلْبُكَ! | ٢١ 21 |
because where your treasure is there your heart will be also.
| الْعَيْنُ مِصْبَاحُ الْجَسَدِ. فَإِنْ كَانَتْ عَيْنُكَ سَلِيمَةً، يَكُونُ جَسَدُكَ كُلُّهُ مُنَوَّراً. | ٢٢ 22 |
“The lamp of the body is the eye. So if your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light.
| وَإِنْ كَانَتْ عَيْنُكَ سَيِّئَةً، يَكُونُ جَسَدُكَ كُلُّهُ مُظْلِماً. فَإِذَا كَانَ النُّورُ الَّذِي فِيكَ ظَلاماً، فَمَا أَشَدَّ الظَّلامَ! | ٢٣ 23 |
But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be full of darkness. So if the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
| لَا يُمْكِنُ لأَحَدٍ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَبْداً لِسَيِّدَيْنِ: لأَنَّهُ إِمَّا أَنْ يُبْغِضَ أَحَدَهُمَا وَيُحِبَّ الآخَرَ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ يُلازِمَ أَحَدَهُمَا وَيَهْجُرَ الآخَرَ. لَا يُمْكِنُكُمْ أَنْ تَكُونُوا عَبِيداً لِلهِ وَالْمَالِ مَعاً. | ٢٤ 24 |
“No one is able to serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.
| لِذلِكَ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لَا تَهْتَمُّوا لِمَعِيشَتِكُمْ بِشَأْنِ مَا تَأْكُلُونَ وَمَا تَشْرَبُونَ، وَلا لأَجْسَادِكُمْ بِشَأْنِ مَا تَلْبَسُونَ. أَلَيْسَتِ الْحَيَاةُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ مُجَرَّدِ طَعَامٍ، وَالْجَسَدُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ مُجَرَّدِ كِسَاءٍ؟ | ٢٥ 25 |
Therefore, I say to you not to worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?
| تَأَمَّلُوا طُيُورَ السَّمَاءِ: إِنَّهَا لَا تَزْرَعُ وَلا تَحْصُدُ وَلا تَجْمَعُ فِي مَخَازِنَ، وَأَبُوكُمُ السَّمَاوِيُّ يَعُولُهَا. أَفَلَسْتُمْ أَنْتُمْ أَفْضَلَ مِنْهَا كَثِيراً؟ | ٢٦ 26 |
Look at the birds of the air, that they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not superior to them?
| فَمَنْ مِنْكُمْ إِذَا حَمَلَ الْهُمُومَ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُطِيلَ عُمْرَهُ وَلَوْ سَاعَةً وَاحِدَةً؟ | ٢٧ 27 |
And which of you can add one cubit to his stature by worrying?
| وَلِمَاذَا تَحْمِلُونَ هَمَّ الْكِسَاءِ؟ تَأَمَّلُوا زَنَابِقَ الْحَقْلِ كَيْفَ تَنْمُو: إِنَّهَا لَا تَتْعَبُ وَلا تَغْزِلُ؛ | ٢٨ 28 |
And why do you worry about clothes? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither labor nor spin,
| وَلَكِنِّي أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: حَتَّى سُلَيْمَانُ فِي قِمَّةِ مَجْدِهِ لَمْ يَلْبَسْ مَا يُعَادِلُ وَاحِدَةً مِنْهَا جَمَالاً! | ٢٩ 29 |
and yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was arrayed like one of these.
| فَإِنْ كَانَ اللهُ هَكَذَا يُلْبِسُ الأَعْشَابَ الْبَرِّيَّةَ، مَعَ أَنَّهَا تُوْجَدُ الْيَوْمَ وَتُطْرَحُ غَداً فِي النَّارِ، أَفَلَسْتُمْ أَنْتُمْ، يَا قَلِيلِي الإِيمَانِ، أَوْلَى جِدّاً بِأَنْ يَكْسُوَكُمْ؟ | ٣٠ 30 |
Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which exists today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, you little-faiths?
| فَلا تَحْمِلُوا الْهَمَّ قَائِلِينَ: مَاذَا نَأْكُلُ؟ أَوْ: مَاذَا نَشْرَبُ؟ أَوْ: مَاذَا نَلْبَسُ؟ | ٣١ 31 |
Therefore do not worry saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
| فَهَذِهِ كُلُّهَا يَسْعَى إِلَيْهَا أَهْلُ الدُّنْيَا. فَإِنَّ أَبَاكُمُ السَّمَاوِيَّ يَعْلَمُ حَاجَتَكُمْ إِلَى هَذِهِ كُلِّهَا. | ٣٢ 32 |
For the pagans seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need each of these things.
| أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ، فَاطْلُبُوا أَوَّلاً مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ وَبِرَّهُ، وَهَذِهِ كُلُّهَا تُزَادُ لَكُمْ. | ٣٣ 33 |
Rather, seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
| لَا تَهْتَمُّوا بِأَمْرِ الْغَدِ، فَإِنَّ الْغَدَ يَهْتَمُّ بِأَمْرِ نَفْسِهِ. يَكْفِي كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مَا فِيهِ مِنْ سُوءٍ! | ٣٤ 34 |
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own affairs. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
