< 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;
sāvadhānā bhavata, manujān darśayituṁ teṣāṁ gocare dharmmakarmma mā kuruta, tathā kṛte yuṣmākaṁ svargasthapituḥ sakāśāt kiñcana phalaṁ na prāpsyatha|
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!
tvaṁ yadā dadāsi tadā kapaṭino janā yathā manujebhyaḥ praśaṁsāṁ prāptuṁ bhajanabhavane rājamārge ca tūrīṁ vādayanti, tathā mā kuri, ahaṁ tubhyaṁ yathārthaṁ kathayāmi, te svakāyaṁ phalam alabhanta|
3 But you, doing kindness, do not let your left hand know what your right hand does,
kintu tvaṁ yadā dadāsi, tadā nijadakṣiṇakaro yat karoti, tad vāmakaraṁ mā jñāpaya|
4 that your kindness may be in secret, and your Father who is seeing in secret will reward you Himself.
tena tava dānaṁ guptaṁ bhaviṣyati yastu tava pitā guptadarśī, sa prakāśya tubhyaṁ phalaṁ dāsyati|
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.
aparaṁ yadā prārthayase, tadā kapaṭina̮iva mā kuru, yasmāt te bhajanabhavane rājamārgasya koṇe tiṣṭhanto lokān darśayantaḥ prārthayituṁ prīyante; ahaṁ yuṣmān tathyaṁ vadāmi, te svakīyaphalaṁ prāpnuvan|
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.
tasmāt prārthanākāle antarāgāraṁ praviśya dvāraṁ rudvvā guptaṁ paśyatastava pituḥ samīpe prārthayasva; tena tava yaḥ pitā guptadarśī, sa prakāśya tubhyaṁ phalaṁ dāsyati
7 And—praying—you may not use vain repetitions like the nations, for they think that in their speaking much they will be heard,
aparaṁ prārthanākāle devapūjakāiva mudhā punaruktiṁ mā kuru, yasmāt te bodhante, bahuvāraṁ kathāyāṁ kathitāyāṁ teṣāṁ prārthanā grāhiṣyate|
8 therefore do not be like them, for your Father knows those things that you have need of before your asking Him;
yūyaṁ teṣāmiva mā kuruta, yasmāt yuṣmākaṁ yad yat prayojanaṁ yācanātaḥ prāgeva yuṣmākaṁ pitā tat jānāti|
9 therefore pray thus: Our Father who [is] in the heavens, hallowed be Your Name.
ataeva yūyama īdṛk prārthayadhvaṁ, he asmākaṁ svargasthapitaḥ, tava nāma pūjyaṁ bhavatu|
10 Your kingdom come, Your will come to pass, as in Heaven also on the earth.
tava rājatvaṁ bhavatu; tavecchā svarge yathā tathaiva medinyāmapi saphalā bhavatu|
11 Give us today our appointed bread.
asmākaṁ prayojanīyam āhāram adya dehi|
12 And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.
vayaṁ yathā nijāparādhinaḥ kṣamāmahe, tathaivāsmākam aparādhān kṣamasva|
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.
asmān parīkṣāṁ mānaya, kintu pāpātmano rakṣa; rājatvaṁ gauravaṁ parākramaḥ ete sarvve sarvvadā tava; tathāstu|
14 For if you may forgive men their trespasses He also will forgive you—your Father who [is] in the heavens;
yadi yūyam anyeṣām aparādhān kṣamadhve tarhi yuṣmākaṁ svargasthapitāpi yuṣmān kṣamiṣyate;
15 but if you may not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
kintu yadi yūyam anyeṣām aparādhān na kṣamadhve, tarhi yuṣmākaṁ janakopi yuṣmākam aparādhān na kṣamiṣyate|
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.
aparam upavāsakāle kapaṭino janā mānuṣān upavāsaṁ jñāpayituṁ sveṣāṁ vadanāni mlānāni kurvvanti, yūyaṁ ta̮iva viṣaṇavadanā mā bhavata; ahaṁ yuṣmān tathyaṁ vadāmi te svakīyaphalam alabhanta|
17 But you, fasting, anoint your head, and wash your face,
yadā tvam upavasasi, tadā yathā lokaistvaṁ upavāsīva na dṛśyase, kintu tava yo'gocaraḥ pitā tenaiva dṛśyase, tatkṛte nijaśirasi tailaṁ marddaya vadanañca prakṣālaya;
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.
tena tava yaḥ pitā guptadarśī sa prakāśya tubhyaṁ phalaṁ dāsyati|
19 Do not treasure up to yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust disfigure, and where thieves break through and steal,
aparaṁ yatra sthāne kīṭāḥ kalaṅkāśca kṣayaṁ nayanti, caurāśca sandhiṁ karttayitvā corayituṁ śaknuvanti, tādṛśyāṁ medinyāṁ svārthaṁ dhanaṁ mā saṁcinuta|
20 but treasure up to yourselves treasures in Heaven, where neither moth nor rust disfigure, and where thieves do not break through nor steal,
kintu yatra sthāne kīṭāḥ kalaṅkāśca kṣayaṁ na nayanti, caurāśca sandhiṁ karttayitvā corayituṁ na śaknuvanti, tādṛśe svarge dhanaṁ sañcinuta|
21 for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
yasmāt yatra sthāne yuṣmāṁka dhanaṁ tatraiva khāne yuṣmākaṁ manāṁsi|
22 The lamp of the body is the eye, if, therefore, your eye may be perfect, all your body will be enlightened,
locanaṁ dehasya pradīpakaṁ, tasmāt yadi tava locanaṁ prasannaṁ bhavati, tarhi tava kṛtsnaṁ vapu rdīptiyuktaṁ bhaviṣyati|
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!
kintu locane'prasanne tava kṛtsnaṁ vapuḥ tamisrayuktaṁ bhaviṣyati| ataeva yā dīptistvayi vidyate, sā yadi tamisrayuktā bhavati, tarhi tat tamisraṁ kiyan mahat|
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.
kopi manujo dvau prabhū sevituṁ na śaknoti, yasmād ekaṁ saṁmanya tadanyaṁ na sammanyate, yadvā ekatra mano nidhāya tadanyam avamanyate; tathā yūyamapīśvaraṁ lakṣmīñcetyubhe sevituṁ na śaknutha|
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?
aparam ahaṁ yuṣmabhyaṁ tathyaṁ kathayāmi, kiṁ bhakṣiṣyāmaḥ? kiṁ pāsyāmaḥ? iti prāṇadhāraṇāya mā cintayata; kiṁ paridhāsyāmaḥ? iti kāyarakṣaṇāya na cintayata; bhakṣyāt prāṇā vasanāñca vapūṁṣi kiṁ śreṣṭhāṇi na hi?
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?
vihāyaso vihaṅgamān vilokayata; tai rnopyate na kṛtyate bhāṇḍāgāre na sañcīyate'pi; tathāpi yuṣmākaṁ svargasthaḥ pitā tebhya āhāraṁ vitarati|
27 And who of you, being anxious, is able to add to his age one cubit?
yūyaṁ tebhyaḥ kiṁ śreṣṭhā na bhavatha? yuṣmākaṁ kaścit manujaḥ cintayan nijāyuṣaḥ kṣaṇamapi varddhayituṁ śaknoti?
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;
aparaṁ vasanāya kutaścintayata? kṣetrotpannāni puṣpāṇi kathaṁ varddhante tadālocayata| tāni tantūn notpādayanti kimapi kāryyaṁ na kurvvanti;
29 and I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed as one of these.
tathāpyahaṁ yuṣmān vadāmi, sulemān tādṛg aiśvaryyavānapi tatpuṣpamiva vibhūṣito nāsīt|
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?
tasmāt kṣadya vidyamānaṁ ścaḥ cullyāṁ nikṣepsyate tādṛśaṁ yat kṣetrasthitaṁ kusumaṁ tat yadīścara itthaṁ bibhūṣayati, tarhi he stokapratyayino yuṣmān kiṁ na paridhāpayiṣyati?
31 Therefore you may not be anxious, saying, What may we eat? Or, What may we drink? Or, [With] what may we be clothed?
tasmāt asmābhiḥ kimatsyate? kiñca pāyiṣyate? kiṁ vā paridhāyiṣyate, iti na cintayata|
32 For the nations seek for all these, for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these;
yasmāt devārccakā apīti ceṣṭante; eteṣu dravyeṣu prayojanamastīti yuṣmākaṁ svargasthaḥ pitā jānāti|
33 but seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these will be added to you.
ataeva prathamata īśvarīyarājyaṁ dharmmañca ceṣṭadhvaṁ, tata etāni vastūni yuṣmabhyaṁ pradāyiṣyante|
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.”
śvaḥ kṛte mā cintayata, śvaeva svayaṁ svamuddiśya cintayiṣyati; adyatanī yā cintā sādyakṛte pracuratarā|
