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;
Attendite ne iustitiam vestram faciatis coram hominibus, ut videamini ab eis: alioquin mercedem non habebitis apud patrem vestrum, qui in cælis est.
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!
Cum ergo facis eleemosynam, noli tuba canere ante te, sicut hypocritæ faciunt in synagogis, et in vicis, ut honorificentur ab hominibus: Amen dico vobis, receperunt mercedem suam.
3 But you, doing kindness, do not let your left hand know what your right hand does,
Te autem faciente eleemosynam, nesciat sinistra tua quid faciat dextera tua:
4 that your kindness may be in secret, and your Father who is seeing in secret will reward you Himself.
ut sit eleemosyna tua in abscondito, et pater tuus, qui videt in abscondito, reddet tibi.
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.
Et cum oratis, non eritis sicut hypocritæ, qui amant in synagogis, et in angulis platearum stantes orare, ut videantur ab hominibus: amen dico vobis, receperunt mercedem suam.
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.
Tu autem cum oraveris, intra in cubiculum tuum, et clauso ostio, ora patrem tuum in abscondito: et pater tuus qui videt in abscondito, reddet tibi.
7 And—praying—you may not use vain repetitions like the nations, for they think that in their speaking much they will be heard,
Orantes autem, nolite multum loqui, sicut ethnici. putant enim quod in multiloquio suo exaudiantur.
8 therefore do not be like them, for your Father knows those things that you have need of before your asking Him;
Nolite ergo assimilari eis. scit enim pater vester, quid opus sit vobis, antequam petatis eum.
9 therefore pray thus: Our Father who [is] in the heavens, hallowed be Your Name.
Sic ergo vos orabitis: Pater noster, qui es in cælis: sanctificetur nomen tuum.
10 Your kingdom come, Your will come to pass, as in Heaven also on the earth.
Adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in cælo, et in terra.
11 Give us today our appointed bread.
Panem nostrum supersubstantialem da nobis hodie.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.
Et dimitte nobis debita nostra, sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris.
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.
Et ne nos inducas in tentationem. Sed libera nos a malo. Amen.
14 For if you may forgive men their trespasses He also will forgive you—your Father who [is] in the heavens;
Si enim dimiseritis hominibus peccata eorum: dimittet et vobis pater vester cælestis delicta vestra.
15 but if you may not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Si autem non dimiseritis hominibus: nec pater vester dimittet vobis peccata vestra.
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.
Cum autem ieiunatis, nolite fieri sicut hypocritæ tristes. exterminant enim facies suas, ut appareant hominibus ieiunantes. Amen dico vobis, quia receperunt mercedem suam.
17 But you, fasting, anoint your head, and wash your face,
Tu autem, cum ieiunas, unge caput tuum, et faciem tuam lava,
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.
ne videaris hominibus ieiunans, sed patri tuo, qui est in abscondito: et pater tuus, qui videt in abscondito, reddet tibi.
19 Do not treasure up to yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust disfigure, and where thieves break through and steal,
Nolite thesaurizare vobis thesauros in terra: ubi ærugo, et tinea demolitur: et ubi fures effodiunt, et furantur.
20 but treasure up to yourselves treasures in Heaven, where neither moth nor rust disfigure, and where thieves do not break through nor steal,
Thesaurizate autem vobis thesauros in cælo: ubi neque ærugo, neque tinea demolitur, et ubi fures non effodiunt, nec furantur.
21 for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Ubi enim est thesaurus tuus, ibi est et cor tuum.
22 The lamp of the body is the eye, if, therefore, your eye may be perfect, all your body will be enlightened,
Lucerna corporis tui est oculus tuus. Si oculus tuus fuerit simplex: totum corpus tuum lucidum erit.
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!
Si autem oculus tuus fuerit nequam: totum corpus tuum tenebrosum erit. Si ergo lumen, quod in te est, tenebræ sunt: ipsæ tenebræ quantæ erunt?
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.
Nemo potest duobus dominis servire: aut enim unum odio habebit, et alterum diliget: aut unum sustinebit, et alterum contemnet. Non potestis Deo servire, et mammonæ.
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?
Ideo dico vobis, ne soliciti sitis animæ vestræ quid manducetis, neque corpori vestro quid induamini. Nonne anima plus est quam esca: et corpus plus quam vestimentum?
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?
Respicite volatilia cæli, quoniam non serunt, neque metunt, neque congregant in horrea: et pater vester cælestis pascit illa. Nonne vos magis pluris estis illis?
27 And who of you, being anxious, is able to add to his age one cubit?
Quis autem vestrum cogitans potest adiicere ad staturam suam cubitum unum?
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;
Et de vestimento quid soliciti estis? Considerate lilia agri quomodo crescunt: non laborant, neque nent.
29 and I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed as one of these.
Dico autem vobis, quoniam nec Salomon in omni gloria sua coopertus est sicut unum ex istis.
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?
Si autem fœnum agri, quod hodie est, et cras in clibanum mittitur, Deus sic vestit: quanto magis vos modicæ fidei?
31 Therefore you may not be anxious, saying, What may we eat? Or, What may we drink? Or, [With] what may we be clothed?
Nolite ergo soliciti esse, dicentes: Quid manducabimus, aut quid bibemus, aut quo operiemur?
32 For the nations seek for all these, for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these;
hæc enim omnia gentes inquirunt. Scit enim pater vester, quia his omnibus indigetis.
33 but seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these will be added to you.
Quærite ergo primum regnum Dei, et iustitiam eius: et hæc omnia adiicientur vobis.
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.”
Nolite ergo soliciti esse in crastinum. Crastinus enim dies solicitus erit sibiipsi. sufficit diei malitia sua.
