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.
“不要将善事做在人的面前，叫别人看见，否则就得不到天父的赏赐。
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!
所以若你施舍穷人，不要像那些伪君子一样，在会堂和街头到处张扬，博取众人的称赞。实话告诉你们，他们已经得到了他们的赏赐。
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].
你施舍的时候，不要叫你的左手知道右手所做的。
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.
你的施舍应隐秘进行。因圣父在隐秘中观察，必将赏赐于你。
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.
当你们祈祷，不可如伪君子一般：他们只喜欢站在会堂和路口祈祷，只为让人看见。说实话，他们已经得到了他们的赏赐。
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.
至于你们，你们的祈祷应在密室中进行，关上门，向隐密中的圣父祈祷。因圣父在隐密中观察，必将赏赐于你。
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].
当你祈祷，不可如异教徒般反复念叨毫无意义的词语。他们误以为只要重复，上帝就可以听到。
8 Do not [repeat words] as they do, because [God] your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
不可像他们那样，因为早在你们开口祈祷之前，圣父便已洞悉你们需要什么。
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}.
所以要这样祈祷： 我们的天父，赞颂你的圣名。
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].
愿你的国度降临！愿你的意志在世间成真，一如在天国一般。
11 Give us [(exc)] each day the food [SYN] that we [(exc) need for] that day.
今天请赐予我们需要的食物；
12 Forgive our sins just like we [(exc)] have forgiven the people who sin against us [(exc)].
赦免我们的罪恶，一如我们饶恕了那些曾对我们犯下罪行之人；
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.”
请阻止我们深陷诱惑，拯救我们脱离恶人。
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].
如果你们饶恕他人对你犯下的罪，天父自会饶恕你们的罪。
15 But if you do not forgive other people, neither will God forgive your sins.”
如果你们不饶恕他人对你犯下的罪，天父也不会饶恕你们。
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!
当你们禁食，不可如伪君子般愁眉苦脸，他们只是装作难受的模样，向别人显示其正在禁食。实话告诉你们，他们已经得到了他们的赏赐。
17 Instead, [each of] you, when you abstain from food, should comb your hair and wash your face [as usual],
当你禁食，要梳洗得当，
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.”
不要叫外人看到你在禁食，因圣父在隐秘中正在观察你，必将与你予以赏赐。
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.
不可在这世界上堆积财富，因地上有虫蛀，有锈蚀，还有贼闯入偷窃。
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.
你应在天堂积聚财富，那里没有虫蛀锈蚀，没有盗贼偷窃。
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].”
因为你最看重什么，就表明你是谁。
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].
你的眼，就是点亮身体的灯。若眼睛健康，整个身体就会亮起来。
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].”
若眼睛邪恶，你的身体就会身处黑暗。如果你心中的‘光’成为黑暗，那才是真正的黑暗！
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].”
一个人不能侍奉两主；你必会爱其中一人，恨另一人，或忠于其中一人，鄙视另一人；你无法同时服务于上帝和金钱。
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].
所以我要说的是，不必担心生命，忧虑衣食住行。难道生命不比食物重要？身体不比衣服更重要？
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!]
看天空中的鸟：它们不播种、不收割、不存粮食，但天父仍喂养它们。难道你们不比它们更宝贵吗？
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!]
你们谁又能通过忧虑，让寿命延长一分钟？
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.
何必为衣着忧虑？看看田野中那些美丽的鲜花，看看它们成长的方式：不必辛苦劳作，不必忙于纺织。
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].
但我想说的是，即使是所罗门最荣耀时刻的穿着，也比不上任何一朵野花。
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]
田野的草今天还在，明天就会被扔进炉火中，如果上帝这样装扮田野，你们这些缺乏信任的人，上帝又怎会为你们做更多？
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]
所以不要忧虑，不要想着：‘我们该吃什么？喝什么？穿什么？’
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].
这些只是异教徒的追求，你们的天父知道你们需要的一切。
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]}.
你们要先寻求天国，寻求他的生命正道，寻求他将给予你的一切。
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].”
所以不要为明天忧虑，因为明天自有明天的担忧。每天邪恶的事情已经够多了。”
