< Matthew 6 >

1 “Be careful not to perform your righteous acts before men to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
sāvadhānā bhavata, manujān darśayituṁ tēṣāṁ gōcarē dharmmakarmma mā kuruta, tathā kr̥tē yuṣmākaṁ svargasthapituḥ sakāśāt kiñcana phalaṁ na prāpsyatha|
2 So when you give to the needy, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward.
tvaṁ yadā dadāsi tadā kapaṭinō janā yathā manujēbhyaḥ praśaṁsāṁ prāptuṁ bhajanabhavanē rājamārgē ca tūrīṁ vādayanti, tathā mā kuri, ahaṁ tubhyaṁ yathārthaṁ kathayāmi, tē svakāyaṁ phalam alabhanta|
3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
kintu tvaṁ yadā dadāsi, tadā nijadakṣiṇakarō yat karōti, tad vāmakaraṁ mā jñāpaya|
4 so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
tēna tava dānaṁ guptaṁ bhaviṣyati yastu tava pitā guptadarśī, sa prakāśya tubhyaṁ phalaṁ dāsyati|
5 And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward.
aparaṁ yadā prārthayasē, tadā kapaṭina̮iva mā kuru, yasmāt tē bhajanabhavanē rājamārgasya kōṇē tiṣṭhantō lōkān darśayantaḥ prārthayituṁ prīyantē; ahaṁ yuṣmān tathyaṁ vadāmi, tē svakīyaphalaṁ prāpnuvan|
6 But when you pray, go into your inner room, shut your door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
tasmāt prārthanākālē antarāgāraṁ praviśya dvāraṁ rudvvā guptaṁ paśyatastava pituḥ samīpē prārthayasva; tēna tava yaḥ pitā guptadarśī, sa prakāśya tubhyaṁ phalaṁ dāsyati
7 And when you pray, do not babble on like pagans, for they think that by their many words they will be heard.
aparaṁ prārthanākālē dēvapūjakāiva mudhā punaruktiṁ mā kuru, yasmāt tē bōdhantē, bahuvāraṁ kathāyāṁ kathitāyāṁ tēṣāṁ prārthanā grāhiṣyatē|
8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.
yūyaṁ tēṣāmiva mā kuruta, yasmāt yuṣmākaṁ yad yat prayōjanaṁ yācanātaḥ prāgēva yuṣmākaṁ pitā tat jānāti|
9 So then, this is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.
ataēva yūyama īdr̥k prārthayadhvaṁ, hē asmākaṁ svargasthapitaḥ, tava nāma pūjyaṁ bhavatu|
10 Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
tava rājatvaṁ bhavatu; tavēcchā svargē yathā tathaiva mēdinyāmapi saphalā bhavatu|
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
asmākaṁ prayōjanīyam āhāram adya dēhi|
12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
vayaṁ yathā nijāparādhinaḥ kṣamāmahē, tathaivāsmākam aparādhān kṣamasva|
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’
asmān parīkṣāṁ mānaya, kintu pāpātmanō rakṣa; rājatvaṁ gauravaṁ parākramaḥ ētē sarvvē sarvvadā tava; tathāstu|
14 For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
yadi yūyam anyēṣām aparādhān kṣamadhvē tarhi yuṣmākaṁ svargasthapitāpi yuṣmān kṣamiṣyatē;
15 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive yours.
kintu yadi yūyam anyēṣām aparādhān na kṣamadhvē, tarhi yuṣmākaṁ janakōpi yuṣmākam aparādhān na kṣamiṣyatē|
16 When you fast, do not be somber like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces to show men they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward.
aparam upavāsakālē kapaṭinō janā mānuṣān upavāsaṁ jñāpayituṁ svēṣāṁ vadanāni mlānāni kurvvanti, yūyaṁ ta̮iva viṣaṇavadanā mā bhavata; ahaṁ yuṣmān tathyaṁ vadāmi tē svakīyaphalam alabhanta|
17 But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,
yadā tvam upavasasi, tadā yathā lōkaistvaṁ upavāsīva na dr̥śyasē, kintu tava yō'gōcaraḥ pitā tēnaiva dr̥śyasē, tatkr̥tē nijaśirasi tailaṁ marddaya vadanañca prakṣālaya;
18 so that your fasting will not be obvious to men, but only to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
tēna tava yaḥ pitā guptadarśī sa prakāśya tubhyaṁ phalaṁ dāsyati|
19 Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
aparaṁ yatra sthānē kīṭāḥ kalaṅkāśca kṣayaṁ nayanti, caurāśca sandhiṁ karttayitvā cōrayituṁ śaknuvanti, tādr̥śyāṁ mēdinyāṁ svārthaṁ dhanaṁ mā saṁcinuta|
20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
kintu yatra sthānē kīṭāḥ kalaṅkāśca kṣayaṁ na nayanti, caurāśca sandhiṁ karttayitvā cōrayituṁ na śaknuvanti, tādr̥śē svargē dhanaṁ sañcinuta|
21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
yasmāt yatra sthānē yuṣmāṁka dhanaṁ tatraiva khānē yuṣmākaṁ manāṁsi|
22 The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light.
lōcanaṁ dēhasya pradīpakaṁ, tasmāt yadi tava lōcanaṁ prasannaṁ bhavati, tarhi tava kr̥tsnaṁ vapu rdīptiyuktaṁ bhaviṣyati|
23 But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
kintu lōcanē'prasannē tava kr̥tsnaṁ vapuḥ tamisrayuktaṁ bhaviṣyati| ataēva yā dīptistvayi vidyatē, sā yadi tamisrayuktā bhavati, tarhi tat tamisraṁ kiyan mahat|
24 No one can serve two masters: Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
kōpi manujō dvau prabhū sēvituṁ na śaknōti, yasmād ēkaṁ saṁmanya tadanyaṁ na sammanyatē, yadvā ēkatra manō nidhāya tadanyam avamanyatē; tathā yūyamapīśvaraṁ lakṣmīñcētyubhē sēvituṁ na śaknutha|
25 Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?
aparam ahaṁ yuṣmabhyaṁ tathyaṁ kathayāmi, kiṁ bhakṣiṣyāmaḥ? kiṁ pāsyāmaḥ? iti prāṇadhāraṇāya mā cintayata; kiṁ paridhāsyāmaḥ? iti kāyarakṣaṇāya na cintayata; bhakṣyāt prāṇā vasanāñca vapūṁṣi kiṁ śrēṣṭhāṇi na hi?
26 Look at the birds of the air: They do not sow or reap or gather into barns—and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
vihāyasō vihaṅgamān vilōkayata; tai rnōpyatē na kr̥tyatē bhāṇḍāgārē na sañcīyatē'pi; tathāpi yuṣmākaṁ svargasthaḥ pitā tēbhya āhāraṁ vitarati|
27 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
yūyaṁ tēbhyaḥ kiṁ śrēṣṭhā na bhavatha? yuṣmākaṁ kaścit manujaḥ cintayan nijāyuṣaḥ kṣaṇamapi varddhayituṁ śaknōti?
28 And why do you worry about clothes? Consider how the lilies of the field grow: They do not labor or spin.
aparaṁ vasanāya kutaścintayata? kṣētrōtpannāni puṣpāṇi kathaṁ varddhantē tadālōcayata| tāni tantūn nōtpādayanti kimapi kāryyaṁ na kurvvanti;
29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.
tathāpyahaṁ yuṣmān vadāmi, sulēmān tādr̥g aiśvaryyavānapi tatpuṣpamiva vibhūṣitō nāsīt|
30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
tasmāt kṣadya vidyamānaṁ ścaḥ cullyāṁ nikṣēpsyatē tādr̥śaṁ yat kṣētrasthitaṁ kusumaṁ tat yadīścara itthaṁ bibhūṣayati, tarhi hē stōkapratyayinō yuṣmān kiṁ na paridhāpayiṣyati?
31 Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
tasmāt asmābhiḥ kimatsyatē? kiñca pāyiṣyatē? kiṁ vā paridhāyiṣyatē, iti na cintayata|
32 For the Gentiles strive after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
yasmāt dēvārccakā apīti cēṣṭantē; ētēṣu dravyēṣu prayōjanamastīti yuṣmākaṁ svargasthaḥ pitā jānāti|
33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.
ataēva prathamata īśvarīyarājyaṁ dharmmañca cēṣṭadhvaṁ, tata ētāni vastūni yuṣmabhyaṁ pradāyiṣyantē|
34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.
śvaḥ kr̥tē mā cintayata, śvaēva svayaṁ svamuddiśya cintayiṣyati; adyatanī yā cintā sādyakr̥tē pracuratarā|
