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.
“Take heed not to do your kindness before men, to be seen by them, and if not—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.
whenever, therefore, you may do kindness, you may not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do, in the synagogues, and in the streets, that they may have glory from men; truly I say to you, they have their reward!
3 Tedae doedannah na khueh khaw, na bantang kah a saii te na banvoei loh ming boel saeh.
But you, doing kindness, do not let your left hand know what your right hand does,
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.
that your kindness may be in secret, and your Father who is seeing in secret will reward you Himself.
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 when you may pray, you will not be as the hypocrites, because they cherish to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the broad places, that they may be seen of men; truly I say to you that they 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, when you may pray, go into your chamber, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who [is] in secret, and your Father who is seeing in secret will reward you.
7 Thangthui vaengah namtom rhoek bangla tlawk boeh. A caitawtnah te a hnatun ni tila a poek uh.
And—praying—you may not use vain repetitions like the nations, for they think that in their speaking much they will be heard,
8 Te dongah amih neh na vai uh moenih. Na pa loh na bih hlanah na ngoe te a ming coeng.
therefore do not be like them, for your Father knows those things that you have need of before your asking Him;
9 Te dongah nangmih tah he tlamhe thangthui uh. Vaan kah kaimih napa namah ming tah ciim rhoe pai.
therefore pray thus: Our Father who [is] in the heavens, hallowed be Your Name.
10 Na ram tah ha pai saeh. Na kongaih tah vaan kah bangla diklai ah khaw soep saeh.
Your kingdom come, Your will come to pass, as in Heaven also on the earth.
11 Khohnin rhamhnin kah ham kaimih kah buh he tihnin ah kaimih m'pae lah.
Give us today our appointed 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 may You not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil [one], because Yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory—for all ages. Amen.
14 Hlang te a tholhdalhnah na hlah pah atah, vaan kah na Pa loh nang khaw n'hlah ni.
For if you may forgive men their trespasses He also will forgive you—your Father who [is] in the heavens;
15 Hlang te tholh na hlah pah pawt atah na pa loh nangmih kah tholhdalhnah te han hlah mahpawh.
but if you may not forgive men 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.
And when you may fast, do not be as the hypocrites, of sour countenances, for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear to men fasting; truly I say to you that they have their reward.
17 Tedae na yaeh vaengah na maelhmai te sil lamtah, na lu khaw hluk.
But you, fasting, 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.
that you may not appear to men fasting, but to your Father who [is] in secret, and your Father, who is seeing in secret, will reward 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 treasure up to yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust disfigure, and where thieves break through 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 treasure up to yourselves treasures in Heaven, where neither moth nor rust disfigure, and where thieves do not break through nor steal,
21 Na khohrhang a om nah ah ni na thinko khaw a om eh.
for where your treasure is, there will your heart 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, if, therefore, your eye may be perfect, all your body will be enlightened,
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 may be evil, all your body will be dark; if, therefore, the light that [is] in you is darkness—the darkness, how great!
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.
None is able to serve two lords, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to the one, and despise the other; you are not able to serve God and wealth.
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?
Because of this I say to you, do not be anxious for your life, what you may eat, and what you may drink, nor for your body, what you may put on. Is not life more than nourishment, and the body 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 to the birds of the sky, for they do not sow, nor reap, nor gather into storehouses, and your heavenly Father nourishes them; are you not much better than they?
27 Te dongah nangmih khuikah unim aka mawn tih a hinglung te dong khat ham a tom thai?
And who of you, being anxious, is able to add to his age one cubit?
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 are you anxious about clothing? Consider well the lilies of the field; how do they grow? They do not labor, nor do they spin;
29 Tedae nangmih taengah kan thui, Solomon pataeng a thangpomnah boeih neh he kah rhaipai pakhat bangla a bai sak moenih.
and I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed as 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?
And if the herb of the field, that today is, and tomorrow is cast into the furnace, God so clothes—not much more you, O you of little faith?
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 you may not be anxious, saying, What may we eat? Or, What may we drink? Or, [With] what may we be clothed?
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 nations seek for all these, for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these;
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.
but seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these 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 be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for its own things; sufficient for the day [is] the evil of it.”
