< 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;
Thlang ing a huhnaak aham, 'them leek sainaak' thlang a haiawh am nami sainaak aham ngaihta lah uh. Cemyihna nami sai mantaw, khawk khan na ak awm nangmih a Pa ven nakaw kutdo am hu kawm uk ti.
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!
Cedawngawh ak voet ak hlauh thlangkhqi ik-oeih na dodan awh thlang am kyihcah ngaih awh qaai kqawnkhqi ing sinakawk ingkaw lam suttungkhqi awh a mi sai amyihna uut yng nawh koeh kqawn qu uh. Awitak ka nik kqawn peek khqi, kutdo ce a mimah ing boet nawn hawh uhy.
3 But you, doing kindness, do not let your left hand know what your right hand does,
Cehlai, nangmih ingtaw thlang ik-oeih nami dodan awh nak tangkut ing a sai ce nak cawng ben kut ing koeh sim seh,
4 that your kindness may be in secret, and your Father who is seeing in secret will reward you Himself.
cawh ni na kutdo ce ang hyp na a awm hly. Cawh ni ang hyp ik-oeih sai ak hukung nangmih a Pa ing samphang na kutdo ce a ni peek hly khqi hy.
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.
Na mik cykcah awh, thlak qaai kqawnkhqi amyihna koeh cykcah uh; a mingmih ingtaw thlang ing ni huh na seh a mi ti awh, sinakawk ingkaw lam suttungkhqi awh dyi unawh, amik cykcah ce lungna uhy. Awitak ka nik kqawn peek khqi, a mimah ing kutdo ce boet nawn hawh uhy.
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.
Cehlai, nangmih taw na mik cykcah awh nami ipkhui na lut unawh, chawh nami khaih coengawh, anghyp na ak awm nami Pa a venawh cykcah uh. Cawh ni ang hyp ik-oeih sai ak hukung nangmih a Pa ing samphang awh kutdo ce ni pek khqi kaw.
7 And—praying—you may not use vain repetitions like the nations, for they think that in their speaking much they will be heard,
Na mik cykcah awh lawkihkhqi cykcah amyihna awi koeh nawlh tlaih tlaih uh, a mingmih ingtaw awi khawzah nik kqawn awh ni ang zaak hly tinawh poek uhy.
8 therefore do not be like them, for your Father knows those things that you have need of before your asking Him;
Cekkhqi amyihna koeh awm uh, kawtih nangmih ing nami thoeh hlanawh nami ngaih ik-oeihkhqi ce nami Pa ing sim oepchoeh hawh hy.
9 therefore pray thus: Our Father who [is] in the heavens, hallowed be Your Name.
“Cedawngawh vemyihna cykcah uh; Khawkkhan nakaw ak awm kaimih a Pa, nang ming kqihchahnaak awm seh,
10 Your kingdom come, Your will come to pass, as in Heaven also on the earth.
Na qam pha law seh, Khawkkhan awh nak kawngaih sai amyihna khawmdek awh nak kawngaihnaak saina awm seh.
11 Give us today our appointed bread.
Tuhngawi awh myngawi buh ni pek khqi lah.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.
Ik-oeih ak pukhqik khan awh qeenkhaw ka ming ngai amyihna, kaimih a ik-oeih pu ak khan awh qeenkhaw ngai law lah.
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.
Sykzoeknaak awh koeh ni sawi khqi nawh, thlakchekhqi anglakawhkawng ni hul khqi lah”
14 For if you may forgive men their trespasses He also will forgive you—your Father who [is] in the heavens;
Thlang ing nangmih ak khan awh ik-oeih a sai palh awh qeenkhaw na ming ngai awhtaw, khawk khan nakaw ak awm nangmih a Pa ingawm nangmih ak khan awh qeenkhaw ngai law lawt kaw.
15 but if you may not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Cehlai, thlang a thawlhnaak ak khan awh qeenkhaw amna ming ngaih awhtaw, nangmih a Pa ingawm nangmih ak khan awh qeenkhaw am ngai tikaw.
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.
Buh nami zeih awh, thlak qaaikqawnkhqi amyihna kawset myi koeh dang sak uh, cekkhqi ingtaw thlang ing buh zeih hy tina seh, ti unawh thlang a mik huh awh ami haai ce a muqu na ta uhy. Awitak ka nik kqawn peek khqi, a mi kutdo hly ce hu boeih hawh u hyk tice.
17 But you, fasting, anoint your head, and wash your face,
Cehlai nangmih ingtaw buh nami zeih awh nami lusam thiik unawh, nami haai hla uh,
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.
thlanghqing a venawh buh zeih hy tice ang dang naak aham am nawh, mik huh am awh ak awm nami Pa venawh ni buh na zeih, tice ang dang naak aham ni; cawh ni ang hyp ik-oeih sai ak hukung nami Pa ing kutdo a ni peek hly khqi.
19 Do not treasure up to yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust disfigure, and where thieves break through and steal,
Laihqa ingkaw thieek ing ama ainaak thai, quk-aikhqi ing muk nawh a mam quuknaak thai, ve khawmdek awh nami them koeh cun law uh.
20 but treasure up to yourselves treasures in Heaven, where neither moth nor rust disfigure, and where thieves do not break through nor steal,
Laihqa ingkaw thieek ing ama ainaak thai, khawk khan na nami them ce cun law lah uh.
21 for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Ikawtih nami them a awmnaak awh na mik kawlung awm awm kaw.
22 The lamp of the body is the eye, if, therefore, your eye may be perfect, all your body will be enlightened,
Mik taw pum a maivang na awm hy. Na mik a leek awhtaw, na pum ce vang boeih kaw.
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!
Cehlai na mik ama leek mantaw, na pum boeih boeih ce than kaw. Na pum awhkaw vangnaak ce a than mai mantaw, ikawpna na pum boeih ce a thannaak kaw!
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.
U ingawm boei pakkhih a bi ce am kqep thai hy. Pynoet ce sawh na kawmsaw pynoet taw lungna kaw, am awhtaw pynoet ce kqihchah na nawh pynoet taw husit kaw. Cemyih lawt na Khawsa ingkaw tangka bi am kqep thai hyk ti.
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?
Cedawngawh ka nik kqawn peek khqi, kawnu ka ai nawh kawnu ka aawk kaw, tinawh nami hqingnaak aham koeh ly unawh; kawnu ka bai ka naak lah kaw, tinawh nami pum aham awm koeh ly uh. Aawk-ai anglakawh hqingnaak, suibai anglakawh pum ve awihtung bet am nu?
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?
Khan nakaw phakhqi ce toek lah uh; quk am saw uhy, caang awm am aat unawh, teep ak khui awh awm am thla uhy, cehlai khawk khan nakaw ak awm nangmih a Pa ing cekkhqi ce hqin hy. Cekkhqi anglakawh nangmih ve nami phu am tlo khqoet nawh nu?
27 And who of you, being anxious, is able to add to his age one cubit?
Nangmih ak khuiawh u ingawm a mawnnaak ak caming a hqingnaak khawnoek pynoet ca ing awm a sap bet thai?
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;
Ikawtih nami pum dahnaak awh nami ly? Lo awhkaw lili khqaipai ce toek lah uh. Bi am bi unawh, hla awm am bi uhy.
29 and I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed as one of these.
Cehlai ka nik kqawn peek khqi, vawhkaw lili khqaipai amyihna, Solomon ing a boeimangnaak boeih ing thoeihcam na am awm hy.
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?
Ceamyihna lo awhkaw khuut, tuh-ngawi awh hqing thai moe a ngawi awhtaw qeu nawh mai awh phum aham ak awm za Khawsa ing ak chungdah awhtaw, Aw cangnaak ak zawikhqi, nangmih ak khqoet taw khawzah khqoet na am nik chungdah hlyk khqi nawh nu?
31 Therefore you may not be anxious, saying, What may we eat? Or, What may we drink? Or, [With] what may we be clothed?
Cedawngawh kawnu ka ai kaw? am awhtaw kawnu ka aawk kaw? Am awhtaw kawnu ka bai ka naak kaw? tinawh koeh ly uh.
32 For the nations seek for all these, for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these;
Lawkih thlangkhqi ing ni ve myihkhqi ve a mi sui hy, vemyih ik-oeihkhqi ve ngoe u hyk ti tice khawk khan nakaw nangmih a Pa ing sim hy.
33 but seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these will be added to you.
A qam ingkaw a dyngnaak ce sui lamma lah uh, cekcoengawh vawhkaw ik-oeihkhqi boeih ve awm ni peek sih khqi bit kaw.
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.”
Cedawngawh khawngawi awhkaw aham koeh ly uh, khawngawi ing amah aham ik-oeih ce poek lawt bit kaw. Hypoet aham hypoet awhkaw kyinaak ce khoek hy.
