< Matthew 6 >

1 “When you do your good deeds, make certain that you do not do them when other people are watching so that they may see you [and think highly of you]. If [you do good deeds merely in order that other people may think highly of you, God], your Father who is in heaven, will not give you any reward.
ISKSKATS'ǏK kŏkstau'kŏmmotsitappiisuai matap'pix kŏkainu'yĭssi; ikŭmits'tsiki kĭn'oau spots'im kimataksakinosŭkoauats.
2 So, whenever you give something to the poor, do not [announce it as people announce something that they want other people to know about] by playing a [fanfare] on a trumpet [MET]. That is what the hypocrites do (in the synagogues/in the Jewish meeting places) and on the main roads in order that people might [see what they do and] praise them. Keep this in mind: [People praise those hypocrites], [but] that is the [only] reward they will receive!
Mak'aumŭtskotŭkkieniki pinik'it manĭstsik'ipi aiksĭstapokŏmotsitappikasix itai'puyĭssax natoi'apioyists ki moksoku'ĭsts, matappix mŏksĭnnu'yĭssax. Kitau'mŭnĭstopuau sakino'sattaiau.
3 Instead [of doing as they do], when you give something to the poor, do not let other people know that you are doing that [MET].
Ki aumŭts'kotŭkkieniki pinsksĭnĭs' i'aksĭssautsĭs kinet'otsĭsi otai'ĭstutsipi;
4 In that way, you will be giving to the poor secretly. [As a result God], your Father who observes [you] while no one else sees [you], will reward you.
Mŏksisĭmĭs'si kitaumŭts'kotŭksĭnni; ki Kĭn'a, aisĭmmiŭs'sŭppiuŏk, kitaksĭnnoam'sakinosŭk.
5 Also when you pray, do not do what the hypocrites do. They like to stand in the Jewish meeting places and on the corners of the main streets to pray, in order that other people will see them [and think highly of them]. Keep this in mind: [People praise them, but] that is the [only] reward they will get.
Ki atsĭmoi'ikainoeniki pinet'omanĭstsĭk aiksĭstap'okŏmotsitappikasix: otŭk'ometsĭmanoaiau mŏkauatsĭmoiikasau otsitai'puyisau natoi'apioyists ki moksoku'ĭsts itsi'kokeĭsts, matap'pix mŏksĭnnu'yĭssau. Kitau'mŭnĭstopuau, sakino'sattaiau.
6 But as for you, when you pray, go into your private room and close the door in order to pray to [God], your Father, whom no one can see. He observes you where no one else observes you, and he will reward you.
Ki Ksĕsto'a, a'tsĭmoiikainiki, ĭstsipi koko'ai, okĭm'ĭniki, a'tsĭmoiikamĭs kĭn'a ai'sĭmmiapsiuă; ki kĭn'a, aisĭmmiŭs'sŭppiuŏk, kitaksĭnnoam'sakinosŭk.
7 When you pray, do not repeat words many times as the people who do not know God do [when they pray. They repeat meaningless words] because they think that if they use many words, their gods will listen to them and give them [what they ask for].
Ki atsĭmoi'ikainoeniki piniksĭstape'puawtsĭs, manĭstaiksĭstapepoattopiauaie saie'tŭkkix: tŭk'ka ŭs'taiau ak'aiokhtokiau otakai'puyĭssau.
8 Do not [repeat words] as they do, because [God] your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
Pinet'omanĭstsik, tŭkka Kin'oau ĭsksĭnĭm'ests kitsipu'ĭnakitsipists kitsauomauan'ĭstopi.
9 So pray [things] like this: Father, [you who are] in heaven, we [(exc)] desire that you be honored/revered {that people honor/revere you}.
Ŭn'anĭstŭttsĭmoiikak: Nĭn'an spots' im kitsitau'pipi, ŭnanĭstatsĭm'metsĭs kitsĭn'ikŏsim:
10 We [(exc)] desire that people let you rule [over their lives]. We(exc) want [people who live] on the earth to do what you desire, as those who live in heaven [do what you want them to do].
Ŭnanĭsto'tos Kitotŭmap'sĭnni: spots'im Kitsitsi'tan kanĭs'tutsipi, annom' ksŭk'kum nokŭt'anĭstutsit:
11 Give us [(exc)] each day the food [SYN] that we [(exc) need for] that day.
Annok' ksĭstsiku'ik nokkok'inan aau'ŏssĭn:
12 Forgive our sins just like we [(exc)] have forgiven the people who sin against us [(exc)].
Ki ŭnniksksĭnĭt'au nitsauum'itsitappiisĭnanĕsts, manĭstŭs'ksĭnoawpi anniks'ĭsk matap'pixk nitsauum'itsĭstotokinanĭxk:
13 Do not let us(exc) do wrong things when we(exc) are tempted {someone or something tempts us}, and rescue us [(exc)] when Satan the evil one tempts us to do evil things.”
Ki pinĭstskĭm'ŭkĭnan, ki nokitsikŏmotse'piŏkĭnan Sauum'itsitappiuă; kitŭsk'sainaniau nĭn'naiisĭnni, ki otŭnmap'sĭnni, ki ĭstsapĭna'sĭnni. Amen.
14 “[Forgive the people who sin against you], because, if you forgive other people, [God], your Father who is in heaven, will forgive your [sins].
Ŭnniksksĭnno'ainoeniki matap'pix otsauum'itsitappiisuauĕsts, Kin'oau spots' im kitak'oksksĭnokoau.
15 But if you do not forgive other people, neither will God forgive your sins.”

16 “When you abstain from eating food [in order to please God], do not look sad as the hypocrites look. They make their faces appear sad in order that people will see that they are abstaining from food [and will think highly of them]. Keep this in mind: [People will think highly of those people for that], but [that is the only] reward those people will get!
Kŭttaioyienoeniki pinomŭs'sŭppik manĭst'omŭssŭppipiau ksĭstapokŏmotsitappikasix: tŭkka iksĭstuts'imiau ostokso'auĕsts, matap'pix mŏks'ksĭnoŏsax kŭttaau'yiau. Kitau'mŭnĭstopuauŭk'otsimiau saiakinosattopiau.
17 Instead, [each of] you, when you abstain from food, should comb your hair and wash your face [as usual],
Ki ksĕsto'a, kŭttaiau'yeniki pu'ikĭniit, ki ĭssĭs'kiosit;
18 in order that other people will not notice that you are fasting [because you will look as you always do]. But [God], your Father, whom no one can see, [will observe that you are abstaining from food. God] your Father sees [you] even though no one else sees [you], and he will reward you.”

19 “Do not [selfishly] accumulate large quantities of money and material goods for yourselves on [this] earth, because [the earth is where everything is destroyed. For example], on earth termites ruin things, and things rust, and thieves enter [buildings] and steal things.
Pinaumoi'potosik akau'tsapsĭnni annom' ksŏk kum, apŭn'ix ki apĭssu'yei otsĭts'oyipi, ki kŏm os'iepĭtsix otsipĭs'sax ki otsikŏmos'sax:
20 Instead, do [deeds that will please God. Your doing such deeds will be like] storing treasures in heaven [MET]. [Nothing perishes in heaven]. In heaven no termites ruin [things], nothing rusts, and thieves do not enter buildings and steal.
Ki aumoi'potosik akau'tsapsĭnni spots'im, apŭn'ix ki apĭssu'yei otsitsau'oyipiau, ki kŏmosiepitsix otsitsauaisisŭppokatŭn'akiipiau ki otsitsauai'kŏmospiau:
21 [Remember that] the things [that you think are the most] valuable are [the things that] you will be constantly concerned about [MET]. [So if you want to be storing treasures in heaven], you [need to be] constantly thinking [about God and heaven], [instead of your earthly possessions].”
Itstsi'piau kitsinan'ĭsts, ŭn'nimauk ku'skĕttsipŏppi.
22 “Your eyes are [like] a lamp [MET] for your body, because they enable you to see things. So if your eyes are healthy, you are able to see everything well [MET]. [Similarly, if you are generous with your money and other possessions, you will be able to know much of what God wants you to know] [MET].
Mostŭm'i ĭsta'natsii moŏps'piina; nituks'kŭssi koopspi, kostŭm' ak'otuitsiu anat'sii:
23 But if your eyes are bad, you are not able to see things well. And if that continues, the time will come when you will not be able to see at all. You will be in complete darkness [MET]. [Similarly, if you continue to be greedy, you will be in spiritual darkness. If all that your eyes can see and your mind can think about involves your greedily desiring material possessions, all that you do will be evil] [MET].”
Ki koŏps'pi minĭx'ĭssi, kostŭm'i ak'otuitsiu ski'natsii. Anat'sii annik' i tsĭspsts'tsiik kostŭm'i ski'natsĭssi maum'aumŭko ski'natsĭnni!
24 “No one is able to serve two [different] bosses [at the same time]. If [he tried to do that], he would dislike one of them and love the other one, or he would be loyal to one of them and despise the other one [DOU]. [Similarly], you cannot [devote your life to] worshipping God and [worshipping] money and material goods [at the same time].”

25 “Because [you should be concerned about what God thinks is important and not about material goods, I] tell you that you should not worry about [things that you need in order to] live. [Do not worry] about whether you will have [enough food] to eat, and [something] to drink, or [enough] clothes to wear. It is important to have [sufficient] food [and drink] and clothing, but the way you conduct your lives is much more important [RHQ].
Ŭnnikaie kitan'ĭstopuau pinap'itsitatoat kitsipai'tappiisĭnni kitaks'oattoppi ki kitak'sĭmattoppi: ki pinap'itsitatoat kostŭm'i kitai'aksŭpskawsattoppi. Tse'ka ĭsskĭts'tau opai'tappiisĭnni ki aau'ŏssĭn, mostŭm'i ki istotos'ists?
26 Look at the birds. They do not plant [seeds, and they do not] harvest [crops] and gather them into barns. [But they always have food to eat because God], your Father who is in heaven, provides food for them. And you are certainly worth a lot more than birds [RHQ]! [So you can be assured that God will supply what you need!]
Sŭm'mokau paiu'tax: mat'omaiinsĭmmauaxau ki matomaipokiakiuaxau, ki matomaumoipotŭkkiii'axau ĭnsĭm'apioyĭsts; ki Kĭn'oau spots'im ai'ĭssoyiuax. Tŭkka' ĭsskĭts'tau, ksĕsto'a ki osto'auai?
27 (None of you can, just by worrying, [add time to your life]./Can any of you, just by worrying, [add time to your life]?) [RHQ] [You cannot] add [even] one minute to your life! [So you should not worry about things such as food and clothing!]
Ŭs'tainoeniki kŏk'spitappiisuai, tsiksĭm a' ak'aatspitappiiu?
28 You should also not worry about [whether you will have enough] clothes [to wear] [RHQ]. Think about the way flowers [grow] in the fields. They do not work [to earn money], and they do not make their own clothes.
Kumauk'apaitsitatoppuaisksistsaii ĭstotos'ists? Sat'sĭkau anat'suiopokists itai'sŭskiiau; matapotŭkkiu'astsau, matapĭs tutŭkkiu 'ăsts'au ĭstotos'ĭsts.
29 But I tell you that even though [King] Solomon, who [lived long ago], [wore very beautiful clothes], his clothes were not as beautiful as one of those [flowers].
Ki kitan'istopuau Solomon otstsap'ĭstotossi mat skĭt stom'atsĕsts annists'isk suio'pokistsk.
30 God makes the wild plants very beautiful, [but they grow] in the field [for only a short time]. One day they grow, and the next day they are thrown into an oven {someone [cuts them and] throws them into an oven} [to be burned to make heat for baking bread. But you are more important to God than wild plants are, and you live much longer]. So (God will certainly provide clothes for you who [live a long time but] trust him so little!/will not God surely very adequately clothe you, [who live a long time but] trust him so little?) [RHQ]
Is'totosatstopiĕsts saiŭs'kiĭsts manĭstĭs'totosatstoppiĕsts annĭsts'ĭsk annok' ksĭstsikuik na'paitappiiisk ki apinŏk'wĭs apittŭp'apĭxipiau ĭstsi'i: kikŭttomaiakstaiĭsttŭpĭstotosatskokoauats, kitsenŭk'aumaitŭkkipuau.
31 Because of God’s caring for you, do not worry and say, ‘Will we have anything to eat?’ or ‘Will we have anything to drink?’ or ‘Will we have clothes to wear?’ [RHQ]
Ŭn'nikaie pinapai'tsitatoak kŏk'anĭssuai Tse'a nŏks'auattopĭnan? Ki, Tse'a nŏk'sĭmattopĭnan; ki; Tse'a nŏks'ĭstotosattopĭnan?
32 Those who do not know God are always worrying about things like that. But God, your Father who is in heaven, knows that you need all those things, [so you should not worry about them].
(Tŭk'ka annists'isk, Gentiles ap'ŭssatsĭmĕsts: ) Kĭn'oau spots'im ĭsksĭnĭm'aie kitsĭm'mŭkitatosĕsts.
33 Instead, the most important thing you should be concerned about is to let [God] completely direct your life, and to strive [to live] righteously. [If you do that], all the things that you [need] will be given to you {God will give you all the things [that you need]}.
Ki Matom'apsatsĭk Ap'ĭstotokiuă otsĭn'naiisĭnni ki otokŏmotsitappiisĭnni ki annists'isk kitak'ŭtokŏnokokĕsts.
34 So [each day] do not be worried about what will happen to you the next day, because [when] that day [PRS] comes, [you] will be concerned about [what happens during] that day. You will have enough to be concerned about each day. [So do not worry ahead of time].”
