Matthew 6
1 Take heed that ye do not your righteousness before men, to be seen of them: else ye have no reward with your Father who is in heaven.
“Veye pou nou pa pratike ladwati nou devan moun pou yo kapab wè nou. Si se konsa, nou p ap twouve okenn rekonpans nan men Papa nou ki nan syèl la.
2 When therefore thou doest alms, sound not a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have received their reward.
“Pou sa, lè nou ap bay lacharite, pa sonnen yon twonpèt devan nou tankou ipokrit yo konn fè nan sinagòg ak lari yo, pou yo kapab resevwa lonè a lòm. M ap di ou, yo gen tan resevwa tout rekonpans yo.
3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
Men lè nou ap bay lacharite, pa kite men goch nou konnen kisa men dwat nou ap fè;
4 that thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father who seeth in secret shall recompense thee.
ke lacharite nou kapab an sekrè, e Papa nou ki wè an sekrè a, ap bannou rekonpans.
5 And when ye pray, ye shall not be as the hypocrites: for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have received their reward.
“Lè nou ap fè lapriyè, pa fè l tankou ipokrit yo. Yo renmen kanpe pou fè lapriyè nan sinagòg yo ak nan kwen lari pou moun kapab wè yo. Anverite, Mwen di nou, yo gen tan twouve tout rekonpans yo.
6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thine inner chamber, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret, and thy Father who seeth in secret shall recompense thee.
“Men nou menm, lè nou ap priye, ale nan ti chanm andedan kay nou an, e fèmen pòt nou. Priye a Papa nou ki an sekrè a, e Papa nou ki wè an sekrè a ap bay nou rekonpans.
7 And in praying use not vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
“Lè nou ap priye, pa itilize anpil mo vag, e san sans jan payen yo konn fè a; paske yo sipoze ke lapriyè yo ap tande akoz anpil mo.
8 Be not therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
Men pa fè tankou yo; paske Papa nou konnen kisa nou bezwen menm avan nou mande Li.
9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Pou tout sa, priye konsa: “‘Papa nou ki nan syèl la, ke non Ou kapab Sen.
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth.
Ke Wayòm Ou kapab vini, ke volonte Ou kapab fèt sou latè menm jan ke li fèt nan syèl la.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
Bay nou pou jou sa a pen ke nou bezwen an,
12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
Epi padone nou ofans nou yo menm jan ke nou padone sila ki fè nou tò yo.
13 And bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil [one].
Epi pa mennen nou nan tantasyon, men delivre nou de mal. Paske wayòm nan, pouvwa a, avèk glwa a se pou Ou menm pou tout letènite. Amèn.’
14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
“Paske si nou padone moun yo pou ofans pa yo, Papa nou ki nan syèl la va padone nou menm.
15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Men si nou pa padone moun yo pou ofans pa yo, Papa nou p ap padone ofans pa nou yo.
16 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may be seen of men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have received their reward.
“Konsa, lè nou ap fè jèn, pa mete yon figi tris jan ipokrit yo konn fè a. Paske yo neglije aparans yo pou moun kapab wè ke y ap fè jèn. Anverite, yo deja twouve tout rekonpans pa yo.
17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thy head, and wash thy face;
“Men nou menm, lè nou ap fè jèn, onksyone tèt nou avèk lwil e lave figi nou,
18 that thou be not seen of men to fast, but of thy Father who is in secret: and thy Father, who seeth in secret, shall recompense thee.
pou moun pa wè ke nou ap fè jèn, men se Papa nou ki nan sekrè a k ap wè. Konsa, Papa nou ki wè nan sekrè a ap bannou rekonpans.
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal:
“Pa ranmase trezò nou isit la nan mond sa a kote ensèk avèk lawouj ap detwi yo, e kote vòlè kapab kase antre pou vòlè.
20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
Men pito nou ranmase pou nou trezò ki nan syèl la kote ensèk avèk lawouj p ap detwi yo, e kote vòlè p ap kase ni vòlè.
21 for where thy treasure is, there will thy heart be also.
Paske kote trezò nou ye se la kè nou va ye tou.
22 The lamp of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
“Lanp kò nou se zye nou. Konsa si zye nou klè, tout kò nou ap plen limyè.
23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is the darkness!
Men si zye nou pa bon, tout kò nou ap plen tenèb. “Konsa, si limyè ki nan nou an se tenèb, ki pwofondè tenèb sa a genyen!
24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
“Nanpwen moun ki kab sèvi de mèt; swa l ap rayi youn pou renmen lòt la, oswa l ap renmen youn pou meprize lòt la. Nou pa kapab sèvi Bondye ak richès.
25 Therefore I say unto you, Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than the food, and the body than the raiment?
“Pou rezon sa a, Mwen di nou pa enkyete nou pou lavi nou, kisa nou ap manje, ni sa nou ap bwè; ni pou kò nou, pou sa nou ap mete sou li. Èske lavi pa plis ke manje, e kò a plis ke rad nou mete sou li?
26 Behold the birds of the heaven, that they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not ye of much more value than they?
Gade zwazo ki anlè yo; yo pa simen, ni rekòlte, ni ranmase pou mete nan depo. Malgre sa, Papa yo bay yo manje. Èske nou pa vo bokou plis ke yo?
27 And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit unto the measure of his life?
“Epi kilès nan nou ki avèk enkyetid kapab ogmante vi li menm yon ti kras?
28 And why are ye anxious concerning raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
E poukisa nou enkyete pou zafè rad? “Gade flè lis ki nan chan yo; yo pa travay, ni fè twal;
29 yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
men Mwen di nou ke menm Salomon nan tout glwa li pa t mete pi bèl rad pase youn nan yo.
30 But if God doth so clothe the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, [shall he] not much more [clothe] you, O ye of little faith?
“Men si se konsa ke Bondye abiye zèb chan an, ki la jodi a, e demen ap jete nan dife, konbyen anplis L ap fè pou nou, o nou menm, moun ki manke lafwa!
31 Be not therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
“Konsa, pa enkyete nou, pou di: ‘Kisa n ap manje?’ ni ‘Kisa n ap bwè?’ ni ‘Avèk kisa n ap abiye?’
32 For after all these things do the Gentiles seek; for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
Paske se tout bagay sa yo ke tout payen yo cho pou chèche, men Papa nou ki nan syèl la konnen ke nou bezwen tout bagay sa yo.
33 But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Chèche premyèman wayòm Li avèk ladwati Li, epi tout bagay sa yo ap vini anplis.
34 Be not therefore anxious for the morrow: for the morrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
“Pou sa, pa enkyete nou pou demen, paske demen ap okipe tèt li. Chak jou gen kont pwoblèm li pou regle pou kont li.”
