Matthai 6
1 Te dongah nangmih kah duengnah te ngaithuen uh. Te hmuh sak ham hlang hmai ah saii boeh. Te pawt koinih vaan ah na pa taengkah thapang na dang uh mahpawh.
“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.
2 Te dongah doedannah na khueh vaengah, hlang loh a thangpom ham hlangthai palat rhoek lohtunim neh imhlai laklo ah a saii bangla na hmaiah ueng boeh. Nangmih taengah rhep kan thui, a thapang vik a bawt uh coeng.
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.
3 Tedae doedannah na khueh khaw, na bantang kah a saii te na banvoei loh ming boel saeh.
But when you do charitable giving do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
4 Te dongah na doedannah te a huep la om mai saeh. Te daengah ni a huep a hael kah aka hmu na Pa loh nangmih te n'thuung eh.
so that your charitable giving may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself repay you openly.
5 Na thangthui uh vaengah hlangthaipalat la om uh boeh. Hlang kah a hmuh ah thangthui ham tunim neh toltung kah a kil ah a pai te a lungnah uh. Nangmih taengah rhep kan thui, a thapang te vik a bawt uh coeng.
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.
6 Na thangthui vaengah na imkhui la kun lamtah na thohka te na khaih phoeiah a huep kah aka om na Pa taengah thangthui. Te daengah ni a huep kah aka hmu na Pa loh nang n'thuung eh.
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.
7 Thangthui vaengah namtom rhoek bangla tlawk boeh. A caitawtnah te a hnatun ni tila a poek uh.
“But when you pray do not babble like the heathen; for they think that they will be heard for their many words.
8 Te dongah amih neh na vai uh moenih. Na pa loh na bih hlanah na ngoe te a ming coeng.
So do not be like them, because your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.
9 Te dongah nangmih tah he tlamhe thangthui uh. Vaan kah kaimih napa namah ming tah ciim rhoe pai.
Therefore, you pray like this: ‘Our Father who is in the heavens, let Your name be reverenced;
10 Na ram tah ha pai saeh. Na kongaih tah vaan kah bangla diklai ah khaw soep saeh.
let Your kingdom come, let Your will be done, on the earth just as in heaven.
11 Khohnin rhamhnin kah ham kaimih kah buh he tihnin ah kaimih m'pae lah.
Give us today our daily bread;
12 Kaimih sokah laikung rhoek te ka hlah uh bangla, kaimih kah laiba dongah kaimih n'hlah lah.
and forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.
13 Cuekhalhnah khuila kaimih ng'khuen boel lamtah, a thae khui lamkah loh kaimih n'hlawt lah.
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.’
14 Hlang te a tholhdalhnah na hlah pah atah, vaan kah na Pa loh nang khaw n'hlah ni.
For if you forgive people their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15 Hlang te tholh na hlah pah pawt atah na pa loh nangmih kah tholhdalhnah te han hlah mahpawh.
But if you do not forgive people their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
16 Na yaeh uh vaengah hlangthai palat, hmueprhutla rhoek bangla om uh boeh. A yaeh uh te hlang taengah phoe sak ham a maelhmai te a buenglueng uh. Nangmih taengah rhep kan thui, a thapang te vik a bawt uh coeng.
“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.
17 Tedae na yaeh vaengah na maelhmai te sil lamtah, na lu khaw hluk.
But when you fast anoint your head and wash your face,
18 N'yaeh he hlang taengah pawt tih a huep ah aka om na Pa taengah lat tueng sak. Te daengah ni a huep ah aka hmu na Pa loh nang n'thuung eh.
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.
19 Diklai hmanah namamih ham khohrhang khoem uh boeh. Te ah te keet neh thi-aek loh a caak, hlanghuen loh a muk tih a huen.
“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust ruin and where thieves break in and steal;
20 Vaan ah na khohrhang te khoem uh. Te ah te keet om pawh thi-aek long khaw a caak moenih, hlanghuen long khaw muk pawt tih huen pawh.
but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust ruins and where thieves neither break in nor steal;
21 Na khohrhang a om nah ah ni na thinko khaw a om eh.
because where your treasure is there your heart will be also.
22 Mik he pum kah hmaiim la om. Te dongah na mik loh cilrhik la a om atah na pum boeih cilping la om ni.
“The lamp of the body is the eye. So if your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light.
23 Tedae na mik te a thae la aom atah na pum tom ah a hmuep la om ni. Te dongah nang kah vangnah te yinnah la a poeh atah te yinnah te nah coeng.
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!
24 Boei panit taengah sal a bi thai moenih. Te dongah Pakhat te a hmuhuet vetih a tloe te a lungnah ni. Pakhat te a talong vetih a tloe te a hnoel ni. Pathen neh laikhuehtawn taengah sal na bi rhenten thai moenih.
“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.
25 Nangmih taengah kan thui, mebang khaw na caak vetih, mebang na ok ham akhaw, na pum te mebang na bai sak pawt akhaw na hinglu te mawn sak boeh. Hinglu tah buh lakah, pum he khaw himbai lakah olpuei la om pawt nim?
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?
26 Vaan kah vaa rhoek ke so uh lah. Amih loh tuh uh pawt tih at uh pawh, khai ah khaw a sang uh moenih. Tedae vaan kah na pa loh amih te a khut. Amih lakah na tanglue uh moenih a?
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?
27 Te dongah nangmih khuikah unim aka mawn tih a hinglung te dong khat ham a tom thai?
And which of you can add one cubit to his stature by worrying?
28 Balae tih himbai ham te na mawn uh? Lohma kah rhaipai ke metla a rhoeng khaw poek lah. Thakthae uh pawh, cunghmui khaw hnuk uh pawh.
And why do you worry about clothes? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither labor nor spin,
29 Tedae nangmih taengah kan thui, Solomon pataeng a thangpomnah boeih neh he kah rhaipai pakhat bangla a bai sak moenih.
and yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was arrayed like one of these.
30 Tihnin ah om tih thangvuen ah hmailing dongla phum hamkoi lohma kah khopol pataeng khaw Pathen loh a phuekhlaak tangloeng atah uepvawt rhoek aw nangmih te muep n'thoeihcam ngai mahpawt nim?
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?
31 Te dongah, banim ka caak uh vetih banim ka ok uh ve? Banim ka bai uh ve? ti nen khaw mawn uh boeh.
Therefore do not worry saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
32 He rhoek boeih he namtom rhoek long ni a vawtthaih uh. Vaan kah na pa loh na kuek uh boeih te a ming.
For the pagans seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need each of these things.
33 Tedae Pathen kah ram neh a duengnah te lamhma la toem uh lah. Te daengah ni he rhoek boeih he nangmih taengah han thap eh.
Rather, seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
34 Te dongah thangvuen ham mawn uh boeh. Thangvuen amah te mawn bitni. Hnin at kah a phayoenah he amah ah rhoeh coeng.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own affairs. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
