Matthew 6
1 “Take care not to perform your religious duties in public in order to be seen by others; if you do, your Father who is in heaven has no reward for you.
Mizawng te hu na na piak uh ciang in ngual mai ah na vawt thak tu kidawm vun, tabang in ngual mu na ah na vawt uh le vantung a om na Pa uh kung pan in thaman bangma nga ngawl tu nu hi.
2 Therefore, when you do acts of charity, do not have a trumpet blown in front of you, as hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets so that people will praise them. There, I tell you, is their reward!
Tua ahikom, mizawng te hu na na piak uh ciang in, a ki hitheamsak te in ngual pok tu thangai in synagogue sung le lampi dung teng ah a vawt bang in, na mai uh pan lemle tum in vawt heak vun. Amantak kong ci ciang, amate thaman a sang hi zo hi.
3 But, when you do acts of charity, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
Ahihang mizawng te hu na na piak ciang in, na ziatsang khut i sep sia, na veisang khut in he heak tahen:
4 so that your charity may be secret; and your Father, who sees what is in secret, will reward you.
Kuama heak ngawl in mizawng te na hu na, thuku a mu na Pa in thaman a kilangtak in hong pia tu hi.
5 “And, when you pray, you are not to behave as hypocrites do. They like to pray standing in the synagogues and at the corners of the streets, so that people will see them. There, I tell you, is their reward!
Thu na nget ciang in a ki hitheamsak te bang in ngen heak in: banghangziam cile amate sia synagogue sung le lamkabom ah ding in, ngual i mu thei tu in thungen nuam sap si. Amantak in kong ci ciang, amate sia thaman nga zo uh hi.
6 But, when one of you prays, they should go into their own room, shut the door, and pray to their Father who dwells in secret; and their Father, who sees what is secret, will reward them.
Ahihang, thu na nget ciang in, na inndoi sung ah tum in a, kongkha na kha zawkciang, a ki mu ngawl na mun ah a om na Pa kung ah thungen in; taciang thuku a mu na Pa in a kilangtak in thaman hong pia tu hi.
7 When praying, do not repeat the same words over and over again, as is done by the Gentiles, who think that by using many words they will obtain a hearing.
Ahizong, thu na nget ciang in Pathian nei ngawl te in matlap nei ngawl a thuap kikik bang in ngen heak vun: banghangziam cile amate in tam tatak ngen bialbual le Pathian in za tuansap tu in um uh hi.
8 Do not imitate them; for God, your Father, knows what you need before you ask him.
Amate bang hi heak vun: na kisapna uh na nget uh ma in, na Pa uh in he siat zo hi.
9 You, therefore, should pray like this – ‘Our Father, who is in heaven, may your name be held holy,
Tua ahiciang, hibang in thu ngen vun: vantung a om kote Pa awng, na min thiangtho ki upat tahen.
10 your kingdom come, your will be done – on earth, as in heaven.
Na kumpingam hong piang tahen. Vantung ah na deina a kicin bang in, leitung ah kicing tahen.
11 Give us today the bread that we will need;
Tu ni in ka nisim an uh hong pia ta in.
12 and forgive us our wrongdoings, as we have forgiven those who have wronged us;
Ngual dang mawna ka maisak uh bangma, kote mawna zong hong maisak ta in.
13 and take us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.’
Ze-etna sung ah hong paipui ngawl in, phatngawlna sung pan in hong tankhia tan: ukzawkna, vangletna le minthanna a tawntung in nangma a, a hihi. Amen.
14 For, if you forgive others their offenses, your heavenly Father will forgive you also;
Ngual i khialna te na maisak uh le, vantung a om na Pa in note khialna zong hong maisak tu hi.
15 but, if you do not forgive others their offenses, not even your Father will forgive your offenses.
Ahihang ngual khialna na maisak bua uh le, noma khialna te zong na Pa uh in hong maisak ngawl tu hi.
16 “And, when you fast, do not put on gloomy looks, as hypocrites do who disfigure their faces so that they may be seen by people to be fasting. That, I tell you, is their reward!
Bektham ngawl in, an na tan uh ciang in, a ki hitheamsak te bang in maikhing in om heak vun: ngual mu na ah antang ci a ki heak thei natu in maikhing in om uh hi: Amantak in kong ci ciang, amate in thaman a sang zo uh hi.
17 But, when one of you fasts, they should anoint their head and wash their face,
Ahihang, nang na hile, an na tan ciang in, na lu sathau thi in a, na mai phiat in.
18 so that they may not be seen by people to be fasting, but by their Father who dwells in secret; and their Father, who sees what is secret, will reward them.
Tua hile na antan hunlam ngualdang kung ah ki lang ngawl tu a, a kimu ngawl na mun ah a om na Pa mai bek ah kilang tu hi: taciang thuku a mu na Pa in kilangtak in thaman hong pia tu hi.
19 “Do not store up treasures for yourselves on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
Nget i neak thei, eakseau thei le nguta te i phul in a nguk theina hileitung ah na neisa uh khol heak vun:
20 But store up treasures for yourselves in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal.
Nget i neak thei ngawl, eakseau thei ngawl le nguta te in phul in a nguk thei ngawl na mun, vantung ah noma atu in neisa te khol zaw tavun:
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Banghangziam cile na neisa omna mun ah na thin le lung zong om tu hi.
22 The lamp of the body is the eye. If your eye is unclouded, your whole body will be lit up;
Mittang sia pumpi atu in khuavak a hihi: na mit a ciim le, na pumpi khuavak siat tu hi.
23 but, if your eye is diseased, your whole body will be darkened. And, if the inner light is darkness, how intense must that darkness be!
Ahizong, na mit a pha bua a hile, na pumpi theampo mial siat tu hi. Tua ahikom na sung ah a om khuavak a thim le, tua khuazing sia bangza zing tuh ziam?
24 No one can serve two masters, for either they will hate one and love the other, or else they will attach themselves to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.
Kuama in to ni i sal hi thei ngawl hi: banghangziam cile ama in khat ensan tu a, khat it tu hi; khat zaw sia beal tu a, a dang khat sia thusimngawl tu hi. Pathian le neisa i sal na seam khawm thei batu hi.
25 “This is why I say to you, Do not be anxious about your life – what you can get to eat or drink, or about your body – what you can get to wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
Tua ahikom kei kong ci na ah, bang na ne tu uh a, a hibale, bang dawn tu nu ziam: taciang na pumpi atu in, bang na sil tu uh ziam, ci in na nuntakna atu in thintoi heak vun. An le tui sang in na nuntakna, nik le puan sang in pumpi thupi zaw hi ngawl ziam?
26 Look at the wild birds – they neither sow, nor reap, nor gather into barns; and yet your heavenly Father feeds them! Aren’t you more precious than they?
Van a leang vacim te en vun: amate in thai cing ngawl, anla ngawl a, saal sung ah zong khol ngawl hi; ahihang vantung ah a om na Pa in amate vak hi. Vacim te sang in thupi zaw hi ngawl nu ziam?
27 But which of you, by being anxious, can prolong their life a single moment?
Note sung pan thintoi na taw a khan tong khat a pe thua thei akua om ziam?
28 And why be anxious about clothing? Study the wild lilies, and how they grow. They neither toil nor spin;
Banghang in nik le puan atu thintoi nu ziam? Duisung ah unok pak te bangbang in khang ziam, ci in ngaisun vun; naseam ngawl hi, pat khau zong hual ngawl hi:
29 yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his splendor was not robed like one of these.
Kei kong ci na pan, Solomon in a vangletna theampo taw a kipua ciang zong tua unok pak te khat zong ban ngawl lai hi.
30 If God so clothes even the grass of the field, which is living today and tomorrow will be thrown into the oven, won’t he much more clothe you, you of little faith?
Tua ahikom, tu in pak a, zingciang in vawk in a ki hal tu lo lai a lopa te bekzong Pathian in zeam a hile, tua te sang in, note hong zeam zawkan lai tu hi ngawl ziam, maw no upna no te.
31 Do not then ask anxiously ‘What can we get to eat?’ or ‘What can we get to drink?’ or ‘What can we get to wear?’
Tua ahikom, bang i ne tu ziam? a hibale, bang i dawn tu ziam? a hibale, bang sil tu hi ziam, ci in thintoi heak vun.
32 All these are the things for which the nations are seeking, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.
Banghangziam cile hite theampo sia Gentile te in zong thei bul uh hi: hibang te na kisap uh hunlam vantung ah na Pa uh in he nginge hi.
33 But first seek his kingdom and the righteousness that he requires, and then all these things will be added for you.
Tua sang in Pathian kumpingam le ama i thutang suana zong masa vun; taciang hi nate theampo zong hong pia thua tu hi.
34 Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own anxieties. Every day has trouble enough of its own.
Tua ahikom zingciang atu in thintoi in om heak vun: banghangziam cile zingciang in ama atu thintoi tu zam. Tuni phatngawlna teng tuni atu kicing zo hi.
