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.
Pazite, da ne boste dajali miloščine svoje pred ljudmi, da bi vas oni videli; sicer nimate plačila pri očetu svojem, ki je na nebesih.
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!
Kedar torej daješ miloščino, ne trobi pred seboj, kakor delajo hinavci po shajališčih in po ulicah, da jih hvalijo ljudjé. Resnično vam pravim: Prejeli so plačilo svoje.
3 But, when you do acts of charity, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
Ti pa, kedar daješ miloščino, ne vé naj levica tvoja, kaj dela desnica tvoja:
4 so that your charity may be secret; and your Father, who sees what is in secret, will reward you.
Da bo miloščina tvoja na skrivnem. In oče tvoj, ki vidi na skrivnem, on ti bo povrnil očitno.
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!
In kedar moliš, ne bodi kakor hinavci, da radi po shajališčih in po uličnih oglih stojé in molijo, da se pokažejo ljudém. Resnično vam pravim, da so prejeli plačilo svoje.
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.
Ti pa, kedar moliš, vnidi v hram svoj, in zapri duri svoje, ter se pomoli očetu svojemu na skrivnem. In oče tvoj, ki vidi na skrivnem, povrnil ti bo očitno.
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.
Kedar pa molite, ne govorite mnogo, kakor pogani; kajti oni mislijo, da bodo uslišani za voljo obilnih besed svojih.
8 Do not imitate them; for God, your Father, knows what you need before you ask him.
Ne primerjajte se torej njim; kajti oče vaš vé, česa vam je treba, predno ga vi prosite.
9 You, therefore, should pray like this – ‘Our Father, who is in heaven, may your name be held holy,
Zatorej molite vi takole: Oče naš, ki si na nebesih; posveti se ime tvoje;
10 your kingdom come, your will be done – on earth, as in heaven.
Pridi kraljestvo tvoje; zgodi se volja tvoja, kakor na nebu, tudi na zemlji;
11 Give us today the bread that we will need;
Kruh naš vsakdanji daj nam danes;
12 and forgive us our wrongdoings, as we have forgiven those who have wronged us;
In odpusti nam dolge naše, kakor tudi mi odpuščamo dolžnikom svojim;
13 and take us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.’
In ne vpelji nas v izkušnjavo, nego reši nas zlega; ker tvoje je kraljestvo in moč in slava na vekomaj. Amen.
14 For, if you forgive others their offenses, your heavenly Father will forgive you also;
Kajti če odpuščate ljudém njih grehe, odpustil bo tudi vam oče vaš nebeški.
15 but, if you do not forgive others their offenses, not even your Father will forgive your offenses.
Če pa ne odpuščate ljudém njih grehov, tudi oče vaš ne bo odpustil vaših grehov.
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!
Kedar se pa postite, ne bodite žalostni, kakor hinavci; ker grdé obraze svoje, da se pokažejo ljudém, da se postijo. Resnično vam pravim, da so prejeli plačilo svoje.
17 But, when one of you fasts, they should anoint their head and wash their face,
Ti pa, kedar se postiš, namaži glavo svojo, in obraz svoj umij:
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.
Da te ne bodo videli ljudjé, da se postiš, nego oče tvoj, ki je na skrivnem. In oče tvoj, ki vidi na skrivnem, povrnil ti bo očitno.
19 “Do not store up treasures for yourselves on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
Ne nabirajte si zakladov na zemlji, kjer molj in rja razjeda, in kjer tatovi podkopujejo in kradejo.
20 But store up treasures for yourselves in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal.
Nego nabirajte si zaklade na nebu, kjer ne molj ne rja ne razjeda, in kjer tatovi ne podkopujejo in ne kradejo.
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Kajti kjer je zaklad vaš, tam bo tudi srce vaše.
22 The lamp of the body is the eye. If your eye is unclouded, your whole body will be lit up;
Sveča telesu je oko. Če je torej oko tvoje prosto, svetlo bo vse telo tvoje;
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!
Če je pa oko tvoje hudobno, temno bo vse telo tvoje. Če je torej luč, ki je v tebi, tema, kakošna bo ta tema?
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.
Nikdor ne more dvema gospodoma služiti: kajti ali bo enega mrzil, in drugega ljubil; ali enega cenil, in drugega zaničeval. Ne morete Bogu služiti in mamonu.
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?
Za to vam pravim: Ne skrbite za življenje svoje, kaj boste jedli in kaj boste pili; tudi ne za telo svoje, kaj boste oblekli. Mar ni življenje več, kakor hrana; in telo več, kakor obleka?
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?
Poglejte na tice nebeške, da ne sejejo in ne žanjejo in tudi ne spravljajo v žitnice, in oče vaš nebeški jih živí. Mar niste vi mnogo bolji od njih?
27 But which of you, by being anxious, can prolong their life a single moment?
Kdo od vas pa skrbeč, more postavi svojej primakniti en komolec?
28 And why be anxious about clothing? Study the wild lilies, and how they grow. They neither toil nor spin;
In za obleko kaj skrbite? Poglejte na lilije na polji, kako rastejo; ne trudijo se in ne predejo.
29 yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his splendor was not robed like one of these.
Pravim vam pa, da se tudi Solomon v vsej slavi svojej ni oblekel, kakor teh ena.
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?
Če pa travo na polji, ktera danes stojí, in jutri se meče v peč, Bog tako oblači, mar ne mnogo bolj vas, maloverni?
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?’
Ne skrbite torej, in ne govorite: Kaj bomo jedli? ali kaj bomo pili? ali kaj bomo oblekli?
32 All these are the things for which the nations are seeking, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.
Kajti vsega tega iščejo pogani. Saj oče vaš nebeški vé, da vsega tega potrebujete.
33 But first seek his kingdom and the righteousness that he requires, and then all these things will be added for you.
Nego iščite najprej kraljestva Božjega in pravice njegove, in vse to vam se bo pridalo.
34 Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own anxieties. Every day has trouble enough of its own.
Ne skrbite torej za jutri; kajti jutri bo skrbel za svoje. Dosti ima dan svojega zlega.
