< Matthew 6 >

1 “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;
ܚܘܪܘ ܕܝܢ ܒܙܕܩܬܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܬܥܒܕܘܢܗ ܩܕܡ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܬܬܚܙܘܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܐܠܐ ܐܓܪܐ ܠܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܘܬ ܐܒܘܟܘܢ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ
2 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!
ܐܡܬܝ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܥܒܕ ܐܢܬ ܙܕܩܬܐ ܠܐ ܬܩܪܐ ܩܪܢܐ ܩܕܡܝܟ ܐܝܟ ܕܥܒܕܝܢ ܢܤܒܝ ܒܐܦܐ ܒܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܘܒܫܘܩܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܢܫܬܒܚܘܢ ܡܢ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܘܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܩܒܠܘ ܐܓܪܗܘܢ
3 But you, doing kindness, do not let your left hand know what your right hand does,
ܐܢܬ ܕܝܢ ܡܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܐܢܬ ܙܕܩܬܐ ܠܐ ܬܕܥ ܤܡܠܟ ܡܢܐ ܥܒܕܐ ܝܡܝܢܟ
4 that your kindness may be in secret, and your Father who is seeing in secret will reward you Himself.
ܐܝܟ ܕܬܗܘܐ ܙܕܩܬܟ ܒܟܤܝܐ ܘܐܒܘܟ ܕܚܙܐ ܒܟܤܝܐ ܗܘ ܢܦܪܥܟ ܒܓܠܝܐ
5 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.
ܘܡܐ ܕܡܨܠܐ ܐܢܬ ܠܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܐܝܟ ܢܤܒܝ ܒܐܦܐ ܕܪܚܡܝܢ ܠܡܩܡ ܒܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܘܒܙܘܝܬܐ ܕܫܘܩܐ ܠܡܨܠܝܘ ܕܢܬܚܙܘܢ ܠܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܘܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܩܒܠܘ ܐܓܪܗܘܢ
6 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.
ܐܢܬ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܬܝ ܕܡܨܠܐ ܐܢܬ ܥܘܠ ܠܬܘܢܟ ܘܐܚܘܕ ܬܪܥܟ ܘܨܠܐ ܠܐܒܘܟ ܕܒܟܤܝܐ ܘܐܒܘܟ ܕܚܙܐ ܒܟܤܝܐ ܢܦܪܥܟ ܒܓܠܝܐ
7 And—praying—you may not use vain repetitions like the nations, for they think that in their speaking much they will be heard,
ܘܡܐ ܕܡܨܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܦܩܩܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܚܢܦܐ ܤܒܪܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܒܡܡܠܠܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܫܬܡܥܝܢ
8 therefore do not be like them, for your Father knows those things that you have need of before your asking Him;
ܠܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܬܕܡܘܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܒܘܟܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܝܕܥ ܡܢܐ ܡܬܒܥܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܥܕܠܐ ܬܫܐܠܘܢܝܗܝ
9 therefore pray thus: Our Father who [is] in the heavens, hallowed be Your Name.
ܗܟܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܨܠܘ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܒܘܢ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ܢܬܩܕܫ ܫܡܟ
10 Your kingdom come, Your will come to pass, as in Heaven also on the earth.
ܬܐܬܐ ܡܠܟܘܬܟ ܢܗܘܐ ܨܒܝܢܟ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ܐܦ ܒܐܪܥܐ
11 Give us today our appointed bread.
ܗܒ ܠܢ ܠܚܡܐ ܕܤܘܢܩܢܢ ܝܘܡܢܐ
12 And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.
ܘܫܒܘܩ ܠܢ ܚܘܒܝܢ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܫܒܩܢ ܠܚܝܒܝܢ
13 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.
ܘܠܐ ܬܥܠܢ ܠܢܤܝܘܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܦܨܢ ܡܢ ܒܝܫܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܕܝܠܟ ܗܝ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܘܚܝܠܐ ܘܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܥܠܡܝܢ
14 For if you may forgive men their trespasses He also will forgive you—your Father who [is] in the heavens;
ܐܢ ܓܝܪ ܬܫܒܩܘܢ ܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܤܟܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܢܫܒܘܩ ܐܦ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܒܘܟܘܢ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ
15 but if you may not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܬܫܒܩܘܢ ܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܐܦܠܐ ܐܒܘܟܘܢ ܫܒܩ ܠܟܘܢ ܤܟܠܘܬܟܘܢ
16 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.
ܐܡܬܝ ܕܝܢ ܕܨܝܡܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܟܡܝܪܐ ܐܝܟ ܢܤܒܝ ܒܐܦܐ ܡܚܒܠܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܦܪܨܘܦܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܢܬܚܙܘܢ ܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܕܨܝܡܝܢ ܘܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܩܒܠܘ ܐܓܪܗܘܢ
17 But you, fasting, anoint your head, and wash your face,
ܐܢܬ ܕܝܢ ܡܐ ܕܨܐܡ ܐܢܬ ܐܫܝܓ ܐܦܝܟ ܘܡܫܘܚ ܪܫܟ
18 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.
ܐܝܟ ܕܠܐ ܬܬܚܙܐ ܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܕܨܐܡ ܐܢܬ ܐܠܐ ܠܐܒܘܟ ܕܒܟܤܝܐ ܘܐܒܘܟ ܕܚܙܐ ܒܟܤܝܐ ܗܘ ܢܦܪܥܟ
19 Do not treasure up to yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust disfigure, and where thieves break through and steal,
ܠܐ ܬܤܝܡܘܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܤܝܡܬܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܐܬܪ ܕܤܤܐ ܘܐܟܠܐ ܡܚܒܠܝܢ ܘܐܝܟܐ ܕܓܢܒܐ ܦܠܫܝܢ ܘܓܢܒܝܢ
20 but treasure up to yourselves treasures in Heaven, where neither moth nor rust disfigure, and where thieves do not break through nor steal,
ܐܠܐ ܤܝܡܘ ܠܟܘܢ ܤܝܡܬܐ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܠܐ ܤܤܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܟܠܐ ܡܚܒܠܝܢ ܘܐܝܟܐ ܕܓܢܒܐ ܠܐ ܦܠܫܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܓܢܒܝܢ
21 for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
ܐܝܟܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܝܬܝܗ ܤܝܡܬܟܘܢ ܬܡܢ ܗܘ ܐܦ ܠܒܟܘܢ
22 The lamp of the body is the eye, if, therefore, your eye may be perfect, all your body will be enlightened,
ܫܪܓܐ ܕܦܓܪܐ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܥܝܢܐ ܐܢ ܥܝܢܟ ܗܟܝܠ ܬܗܘܐ ܦܫܝܛܐ ܐܦ ܟܠܗ ܦܓܪܟ ܢܗܝܪ ܗܘ
23 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!
ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܥܝܢܟ ܬܗܘܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܟܠܗ ܦܓܪܟ ܚܫܘܟܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܐܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܕܒܟ ܚܫܘܟܐ ܗܘ ܚܫܘܟܟ ܟܡܐ ܢܗܘܐ
24 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.
ܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܡܫܟܚ ܠܬܪܝܢ ܡܪܘܢ ܠܡܦܠܚ ܐܘ ܓܝܪ ܠܚܕ ܢܤܢܐ ܘܠܐܚܪܢܐ ܢܪܚܡ ܐܘ ܠܚܕ ܢܝܩܪ ܘܠܐܚܪܢܐ ܢܫܘܛ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܠܡܦܠܚ ܘܠܡܡܘܢܐ
25 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?
ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܬܐܨܦܘܢ ܠܢܦܫܟܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܬܐܟܠܘܢ ܘܡܢܐ ܬܫܬܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܠܦܓܪܟܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܬܠܒܫܘܢ ܠܐ ܗܐ ܢܦܫܐ ܝܬܝܪܐ ܡܢ ܤܝܒܪܬܐ ܘܦܓܪܐ ܡܢ ܠܒܘܫܐ
26 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?
ܚܘܪܘ ܒܦܪܚܬܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܕܠܐ ܙܪܥܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܚܨܕܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܚܡܠܝܢ ܒܐܘܨܪܐ ܘܐܒܘܟܘܢ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ܡܬܪܤܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܗܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܝܬܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ
27 And who of you, being anxious, is able to add to his age one cubit?
ܡܢܘ ܕܝܢ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܟܕ ܝܨܦ ܡܫܟܚ ܠܡܘܤܦܘ ܥܠ ܩܘܡܬܗ ܐܡܬܐ ܚܕܐ
28 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;
ܘܥܠ ܠܒܘܫܐ ܡܢܐ ܝܨܦܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܬܒܩܘ ܒܫܘܫܢܐ ܕܕܒܪܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܪܒܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܠܐܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܥܙܠܢ
29 and I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed as one of these.
ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܦܠܐ ܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܒܟܠܗ ܫܘܒܚܗ ܐܬܟܤܝ ܐܝܟ ܚܕܐ ܡܢܗܝܢ
30 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?
ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܠܥܡܝܪܐ ܕܚܩܠܐ ܕܝܘܡܢܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܘܡܚܪ ܢܦܠ ܒܬܢܘܪܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܡܠܒܫ ܠܐ ܤܓܝ ܝܬܝܪ ܠܟܘܢ ܙܥܘܪܝ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ
31 Therefore you may not be anxious, saying, What may we eat? Or, What may we drink? Or, [With] what may we be clothed?
ܠܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܬܐܨܦܘܢ ܐܘ ܬܐܡܪܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܢܐܟܘܠ ܐܘ ܡܢܐ ܢܫܬܐ ܐܘ ܡܢܐ ܢܬܟܤܐ
32 For the nations seek for all these, for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these;
ܟܠܗܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܥܡܡܐ ܗܘ ܒܥܝܢ ܠܗܝܢ ܐܒܘܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ܝܕܥ ܕܐܦ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܬܒܥܝܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ
33 but seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these will be added to you.
ܒܥܘ ܕܝܢ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܙܕܝܩܘܬܗ ܘܟܠܗܝܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܬܬܘܤܦܢ ܠܟܘܢ
34 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.”
ܠܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܬܐܨܦܘܢ ܕܡܚܪ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܡܚܪ ܝܨܦ ܕܝܠܗ ܤܦܩ ܠܗ ܠܝܘܡܐ ܒܝܫܬܗ
