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.
„Ära tee oma häid tegusid inimeste ees, lihtsalt selleks, et neid näha oleks. Muidu ei saa sa mingit tasu Isalt, kes on taevas.
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!
Kui sa vaestele annad, ära ole nagu silmakirjatsejad, kes puhuvad pasunaid, et teada anda, mida nad teevad sünagoogides ja tänavatel, nii et inimesed ülistaksid neid. Ma ütlen teile tõde: nad on oma tasu juba kätte saanud.
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].
Kui sa annad vaestele, siis ärgu sinu vasak käsi teadku, mida su parem käsi teeb.
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.
Nii on see, mida sa annad, salajane, ja su Isa, kes näeb, mis toimub salajas, tasub sulle.
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.
Kui sa palvetad, siis ära ole nagu silmakirjatsejad, sest neile meeldib püsti tõusta ja palvetada sünagoogides ja tänavanurkadel, nii et inimesed neid näeksid. Ma luban teile, nad on oma tasu juba kätte saanud.
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.
Aga sina, kui sa palvetad, mine tuppa ja sulge uks ning palveta oma Isa poole salajas, ja su Isa, kes näeb, mis toimub salajas, tasub sulle.
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].
Kui sa palvetad, siis ära lobise mõttetult nagu võõrad, kes arvavad, et neid kuuldakse kõigi nende sõnade pärast, mida nad kordavad.
8 Do not [repeat words] as they do, because [God] your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
Ärge olge nende moodi, sest teie Isa teab, mida te vajate juba enne, kui te temalt palute.
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}.
Palvetage siis nõnda: „Meie taevane Isa, austatud olgu sinu nimi.
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].
Sinu riik tulgu! Sinu tahe täitugu maa peal samamoodi nagu taevas.
11 Give us [(exc)] each day the food [SYN] that we [(exc) need for] that day.
Palun anna meile täna toitu, mida vajame.
12 Forgive our sins just like we [(exc)] have forgiven the people who sin against us [(exc)].
Andesta meie patud, nagu meie oleme andestanud neile, kes on meie vastu pattu teinud.
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.”
Palun ära lase meil kiusatusele järele anda ja päästa meid kurja käest.“
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].
Sest kui te annate andeks neile, kes teie vastu patustavad, annab ka teie taevane Isa teile andeks.
15 But if you do not forgive other people, neither will God forgive your sins.”
Aga kui te ei anna andeks neile, kes teie vastu patustavad, siis ei anna teie taevane Isa teie patte andeks.
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!
Kui sa paastud, siis ära ole nagu silmakirjatsejad, kes teevad kurva näo ja jätavad oma välimuse hooletusse, et kõik näeksid, et nad paastuvad. Ma ütlen teile tõde: nad on oma tasu juba kätte saanud.
17 Instead, [each of] you, when you abstain from food, should comb your hair and wash your face [as usual],
Aga kui sina paastud, pese oma nägu ja tee välimus korda,
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.”
et inimesed ei näeks, et sa paastud, ning su nähtamatu Isa, kes näeb, mis toimub salajas, tasub sulle.
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.
Ärge kuhjake rikkust siia maa peale, kus koi ja rooste seda rikuvad ning kus vargad sisse murravad ja selle varastavad.
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.
Selle asemel koguge oma vara taevasse, kus koid ja rooste seda ei riku ning kus vargad sisse ei murra ega seda varasta.
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].”
Sest see, mida sa kõige enam hindad, näitab, kes sa tegelikult oled.
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].
Silm on nagu lamp, mis valgustab ihu. Niisiis, kui su silm on terve, siis on kogu su ihul valgus.
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].”
Aga kui su silm on kuri, on kogu su ihu pimeduses. Kui „valgus“, mis sul on, on tegelikult pimedus, kui pime see siis on!
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].”
Keegi ei saa teenida kaht isandat. Sa kas vihkad üht ja armastad teist või oled pühendunud ühele ja põlgad teist. Te ei saa teenida Jumalat ja Raha.
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].
Sellepärast ma ütlengi teile, et ärge muretsege oma elu pärast. Ärge muretsege sellepärast, mida süüa või mida juua või missugused rõivad selga panna. Kas elu ei ole olulisem kui toit ja ihu olulisem kui rõivad?
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!]
Pange tähele linde − nad ei külva ega lõika ega hoia toidust aitades, sest teie taevane Isa toidab neid. Kas teie ei ole rohkem väärt kui nemad?
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!]
Kes teist suudaks muretsemisega oma elule minutigi lisada?
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.
Ja miks te muretsete rõivaste pärast? Vaadake kauneid lilli väljal. Vaadake, kuidas nad kasvavad: nad ei tee rasket tööd, nad ei ketra lõnga.
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].
Aga ma ütlen teile, isegi Saalomon kogu oma hiilguses ei olnud riietatud nii, nagu üks neist lilledest.
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]
Niisiis, kui Jumal ehib sedasi väljal heina, mis täna on ja homme visatakse tulle, kas ta siis ei tee palju enam teie heaks, te inimesed, kes nii vähe usaldavad?
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]
Ärge siis muretsege, öeldes: „Mida me sööme?“või „Mida me joome?“või „Mida me selga paneme?“
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].
Kõiki neid asju taotlevad paganad, aga teie taevane Isa teab kõike, mida teil vaja on.
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]}.
Taotlege kõigepealt tema riiki ja õiget eluviisi ning teile antakse kõike.
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].”
Seega ärge muretsege homse pärast, sest homne päev suudab ise enda eest muretseda. Igas päevas on juba piisavalt halba.“
