Matthew 6
1 "Be careful that you do not do your righteousness before people, to be seen by them, or else you have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
Attendite ne iustitiam vestram faciatis coram hominibus, ut videamini ab eis: alioquin mercedem non habebitis apud Patrem vestrum, qui in cælis est.
2 Therefore when you practice charitable giving, do not sound a trumpet before yourself, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may get glory from people. Truly I tell you, they have received 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 when you practice charitable giving, do not let your left hand know what your right hand does,
Te autem faciente eleemosynam, nesciat sinistra tua quid faciat dextera tua:
4 so that your charitable giving may be in secret, then your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
ut sit eleemosyna tua in abscondito, et Pater tuus, qui videt in abscondito, reddet tibi.
5 "And when you pray, you are not to be as the hypocrites, for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I tell you, they have received 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 pray, enter into your inner chamber, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees 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 in praying, do not use vain repetitions, as the unbelievers do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking.
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 what things you need, before you ask him.
Nolite ergo assimilari eis. Scit enim Pater vester, quid opus sit vobis, antequam petatis eum.
9 Therefore, you should pray this way: 'Our Father in heaven, holy be your name.
Sic ergo vos orabitis: Pater noster, qui es in cælis: sanctificetur nomen tuum.
10 Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in cælo, et in terra.
11 Give us today our daily 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 lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.'
Et ne nos inducas in tentationem. Sed libera nos a malo. Amen.
14 "For if you forgive people their wrongdoing, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
Si enim dimiseritis hominibus peccata eorum: dimittet et vobis Pater vester cælestis delicta vestra.
15 But if you do not forgive people, neither will your Father forgive your wrongdoing.
Si autem non dimiseritis hominibus: nec Pater vester dimittet vobis peccata vestra.
16 "Moreover when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, with sad faces. For they disfigure their faces, that they may be seen by people to be fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received 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, when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your face;
Tu autem, cum ieiunas, unge caput tuum, et faciem tuam lava,
18 so that you are not seen by people to be fasting, but by your Father who is in secret, and your Father, who sees 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 store up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and decay destroy, 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 store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor decay destroy, and where thieves do not break through and 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 your heart will 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 is sound, your whole body will be full of light.
Lucerna corporis tui est oculus tuus. Si oculus tuus fuerit simplex: totum corpus tuum lucidum erit.
23 But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness.
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 "No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Mammon.
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 Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more 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 See the birds of the sky, that they do not sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns, and your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of much more value 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 which of you, by being anxious, can add one cubit to his height?
Quis autem vestrum cogitans potest adiicere ad staturam suam cubitum unum?
28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They do not toil, neither do they spin,
Et de vestimento quid soliciti estis? Considerate lilia agri quomodo crescunt: non laborant, neque nent.
29 yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these.
Dico autem vobis, quoniam nec Salomon in omni gloria sua coopertus est sicut unum ex istis.
30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, won't he much more clothe you, 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 do not be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?', 'What will we drink?' or, 'With what will we be clothed?'
Nolite ergo soliciti esse, dicentes: Quid manducabimus, aut quid bibemus, aut quo operiemur?
32 For the unbelievers seek after all these things, for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
Hæc enim omnia Gentes inquirunt. Scit enim Pater vester, quia his omnibus indigetis.
33 But seek first the Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
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 itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Nolite ergo soliciti esse in crastinum. Crastinus enim dies solicitus erit sibi ipsi. Sufficit diei malitia sua.
