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.
Pagbantay nga kamo dili magbuhat sa inyong buhat sa pagkamatarong atubangan sa mga tawo aron makita nila, kay kondili wala kamoy ganti gikan sa Amahan nga anaa sa langit.
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!
Busa sa dihang maghatag kamo ug limos, ayaw pagpatingog ug trumpeta atubangan sa inyong kaugalingon sama sa gibuhat sa mga tigpakaaron-ingnon didto sa mga sinagoga ug sa kadalanan, aron nga maangkon nila ang pagdayeg sa mga tawo. Sa pagkatinuod sultihan ko kamo, nga nadawat na nila ang ilang ganti.
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].
Apan sa dihang mohatag kamo ug limos, ayaw itugot nga ang inyong wala nga kamot masayod kung unsa ang gibuhat sa inyong tuo nga kamot,
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.
aron nga ang inyong gasa mahimong ihatag sa tago. Unya ang inyong Amahan nga nakakita sa tago moganti kaninyo.
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.
Ug sa dihang mag-ampo kamo, ayaw pahisama sa mga tigpakaaron-ingnon, kay sila mahigugmaon nga motindog ug mag-ampo didto sa mga sinagoga ug sa mga kilid sa dalan, aron nga sila makita sa mga tawo. Sa pagkatinuod sultihan ko kamo, nadawat na nila ang ilang ganti.
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.
Apan kamo, sa dihang mag-ampo kamo, sulod kamo sa suok nga lawak. Sirad-i ang pultahan, ug pag-ampo sa inyong Amahan nga anaa sa tago. Unya ang inyong Amahan nga makakita sa tago moganti kaninyo.
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].
Ug sa dihang mag-ampo kamo, ayaw pagbuhat sa walay pulos nga pagbalikbalik sama sa gibuhat sa mga Gentil, kay naghunahuna sila nga madunggan sila tungod sa ilang daghang gipangsulti.
8 Do not [repeat words] as they do, because [God] your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
Busa, ayaw pahisama kanila, kay ang inyong Amahan nasayod kung unsa ang mga butang nga inyong gikinahanglan sa dili pa kamo mangayo kaniya.
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}.
Busa pag-ampo sama niini: 'Amahan namo nga anaa sa langit, balaanon ang imong ngalan.
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].
Moabot ang imong gingharian, matuman ang imong pagbuot sa yuta maingon sa langit.
11 Give us [(exc)] each day the food [SYN] that we [(exc) need for] that day.
Ihatag kanamo karong adlawa ang among tinapay sa matag-adlaw.
12 Forgive our sins just like we [(exc)] have forgiven the people who sin against us [(exc)].
Pasayloa kami sa among mga utang, sama usab sa among pagpasaylo sa mga nakautang kanamo.
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.”
Ug ayaw kami dad-a ngadto sa tintasyon; hinuon luwasa kami gikan sa daotan.'
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].
Kay kung inyong pasayloon ang mga tawo sa ilang kalapasan, ang inyong langitnong Amahan usab magapasaylo kaninyo.
15 But if you do not forgive other people, neither will God forgive your sins.”
Apan kung dili ninyo pasayloon ang ilang kalapasan, dili mopasaylo ang inyong Amahan sa inyong mga kalapasan.
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!
Labaw pa niana, sa dihang magpuasa kamo, ayaw pagbaton sa masulub-on nga panagway sama sa gibuhat sa mga tigpakaaron-ingnon, kay magapadaotdaot sila sa ilang mga dagway aron mapakita nila sa mga tawo nga nagpuasa sila. Sa pagkatinuod sultihan ko kamo, nga nadawat na nila ang ilang ganti.
17 Instead, [each of] you, when you abstain from food, should comb your hair and wash your face [as usual],
Apan kamo, sa dihang kamo magpuasa, dihogi ang inyong ulo ug hugasi ang inyong dagway.
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.”
Sa ingon dili kamo makita sa mga tawo nga nagpuasa, kondili ngadto lamang sa inyong Amahan nga anaa sa tago. Ug ang inyong Amahan nga makakita sa tago, moganti kaninyo.
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.
Ayaw pagtigom alang sa inyong kaugalingong mga bahandi sa kalibotan, diin tayaan ug kutkuton sa anay, ug diin ang mga kawatan moguba ug mokawat.
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.
Hinuon, pagtigom alang sa inyong kaugalingon ug mga bahandi didto sa langit, diin walay anay ni taya ang moguba, ug diin ang mga kawatan dili makaguba ug makakawat.
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].”
Kay kung diin ang imong bahandi, atua usab ang imong kasingkasing.
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].
Ang mata mao ang suga sa lawas. Busa, kung ang inyong mata maayo, ang tibuok lawas mapuno sa kahayag.
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].”
Apan kung ang inyong mata daotan, ang inyong tibuok lawas mapuno sa kangitngit. Busa, kung ang kahayag nga anaa kaninyo kangitngit gayod, unsa kadako kana nga kangitngit!
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].”
Walay bisan usa nga makahimo sa pag-alagad sa duha ka agalon, kay pagadumtan niya ang usa ug higugmaon ang lain, o magmatinud-anon siya sa usa ug magtamay sa lain. Dili kamo makaalagad sa Dios ug sa bahandi.
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].
Busa sultihan ko kamo, ayaw kabalaka mahitungod sa inyong kinabuhi, unsa ang inyong kaonon o unsa ang inyong imnon—o mahitungod sa inyong lawas, unsa gayod inyong suoton. Kay ang kinabuhi mas labaw pa kaysa pagkaon, ug ang lawas labaw pa kaysa mga bisti?
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!]
Tan-awa ang mga langgam sa kahanginan. Wala sila nagpugas o nag-ani o nagtigom sa mga kamalig, apan ang inyong langitnong Amahan nagpakaon kanila. Dili ba kamo labaw pa nga bililhon kay kanila?
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!]
Ug kinsa ang usa kaninyo nga nabalaka nga makadugang sa usa ka siko nga gitas-on sa iyang kinabuhi?
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.
Ug nganong nabalaka man kamo mahitungod sa mga bisti? Hunahunaa ang mga lirio sa kaumahan, giunsa nila pagtubo. Wala sila motrabaho, ug wala sila manahi sa bisti.
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].
Apan sultihan ko kamo, bisan si Solomon sa tanan niyang himaya wala makasul-ob sama sa usa niini.
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]
Kung ang Dios nagbisti sa mga sagbot sa kaumahan, nga milungtad karon ug pagkaugma itambog didto sa hudno, dili ba kamo labaw pa nga iyang pagabistihan, kamo nga gamay ang pagtuo?
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]
Busa ayaw kabalaka ug pagsulti, 'Unsa ang atong kaonon?' o, 'Unsa ang atong imnon?' o, 'Unsa nga bisti ang atong sul-ubon?'
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].
Kay ang mga Gentil nangita niining mga butanga, ug ang inyong langitnong Amahan nasayod nga kamo nanginahanglan niini.
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]}.
Apan unaha pagpangita ang iyang gingharian ug ang iyang pagkamatarong ug kining tanan nga mga butang igahatag kaninyo.
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].”
Busa, ayaw kabalaka alang sa ugma, kay ang ugma mabalaka alang sa iyang kaugalingon. Ang matag adlaw adunay igong suliran sa iyang kaugalingon.
