< 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.
“सावधान रहो! तुम मनुष्यों को दिखाने के लिये अपने धार्मिकता के काम न करो, नहीं तो अपने स्वर्गीय पिता से कुछ भी फल न पाओगे।
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!
“इसलिए जब तू दान करे, तो अपना ढिंढोरा न पिटवा, जैसेकपटी, आराधनालयों और गलियों में करते हैं, ताकि लोग उनकी बड़ाई करें, मैं तुम से सच कहता हूँ, कि वे अपना प्रतिफल पा चुके।
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].
परन्तु जब तू दान करे, तो जो तेरा दाहिना हाथ करता है, उसे तेरा बायाँ हाथ न जानने पाए।
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.
ताकि तेरा दान गुप्त रहे; और तब तेरा पिता जो गुप्त में देखता है, तुझे प्रतिफल देगा।
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.
“और जब तू प्रार्थना करे, तो कपटियों के समान न हो क्योंकि लोगों को दिखाने के लिये आराधनालयों में और सड़कों के चौराहों पर खड़े होकर प्रार्थना करना उनको अच्छा लगता है। मैं तुम से सच कहता हूँ, कि वे अपना प्रतिफल पा चुके।
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.
परन्तु जब तू प्रार्थना करे, तो अपनी कोठरी में जा; और द्वार बन्द करके अपने पिता से जो गुप्त में है प्रार्थना कर; और तब तेरा पिता जो गुप्त में देखता है, तुझे प्रतिफल देगा।
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].
प्रार्थना करते समय अन्यजातियों के समान बक-बक न करो; क्योंकि वे समझते हैं कि उनके बार बार बोलने से उनकी सुनी जाएगी।
8 Do not [repeat words] as they do, because [God] your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
इसलिए तुम उनके समान न बनो, क्योंकि तुम्हारा पिता तुम्हारे माँगने से पहले ही जानता है, कि तुम्हारी क्या-क्या आवश्यकताएँ है।
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}.
“अतः तुम इस रीति से प्रार्थना किया करो: ‘हे हमारे पिता, तू जो स्वर्ग में है; तेरा नामपवित्र माना जाए।
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].
१०‘तेरा राज्य आए।तेरी इच्छा जैसे स्वर्ग में पूरी होती है, वैसे पृथ्वी पर भी हो।
11 Give us [(exc)] each day the food [SYN] that we [(exc) need for] that day.
११‘हमारी दिन भर की रोटी आज हमें दे।
12 Forgive our sins just like we [(exc)] have forgiven the people who sin against us [(exc)].
१२‘और जिस प्रकार हमने अपने अपराधियों को क्षमा किया है, वैसे ही तू भी हमारे अपराधों को क्षमा कर।
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.”
१३‘और हमें परीक्षा में न ला, परन्तु बुराई से बचा; [क्योंकि राज्य और पराक्रम और महिमा सदा तेरे ही हैं।’ आमीन।]
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].
१४“इसलिए यदि तुम मनुष्य के अपराध क्षमा करोगे, तो तुम्हारा स्वर्गीय पिता भी तुम्हें क्षमा करेगा।
15 But if you do not forgive other people, neither will God forgive your sins.”
१५और यदि तुम मनुष्यों के अपराध क्षमा न करोगे, तो तुम्हारा पिता भी तुम्हारे अपराध क्षमा न करेगा।
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!
१६“जब तुम उपवास करो, तो कपटियों के समान तुम्हारे मुँह पर उदासी न छाई रहे, क्योंकि वे अपना मुँह बनाए रहते हैं, ताकि लोग उन्हें उपवासी जानें। मैं तुम से सच कहता हूँ, कि वे अपना प्रतिफल पा चुके।
17 Instead, [each of] you, when you abstain from food, should comb your hair and wash your face [as usual],
१७परन्तु जब तू उपवास करे तो अपने सिर पर तेल मल और मुँह धो।
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.”
१८ताकि लोग नहीं परन्तु तेरा पिता जो गुप्त में है, तुझे उपवासी जाने। इस दशा में तेरा पिता जो गुप्त में देखता है, तुझे प्रतिफल देगा।
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.
१९“अपने लिये पृथ्वी पर धन इकट्ठा न करो; जहाँ कीड़ा और काई बिगाड़ते हैं, और जहाँ चोर सेंध लगाते और चुराते हैं।
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.
२०परन्तु अपने लिये स्वर्ग में धन इकट्ठा करो, जहाँ न तो कीड़ा, और न काई बिगाड़ते हैं, और जहाँ चोर न सेंध लगाते और न चुराते हैं।
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].”
२१क्योंकि जहाँ तेरा धन है वहाँ तेरा मन भी लगा रहेगा।
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].
२२“शरीर का दीया आँख है: इसलिए यदि तेरी आँख अच्छी हो, तो तेरा सारा शरीर भी उजियाला होगा।
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].”
२३परन्तु यदि तेरी आँख बुरी हो, तो तेरा सारा शरीर भी अंधियारा होगा; इस कारण वह उजियाला जो तुझ में है यदि अंधकार हो तो वह अंधकार कैसा बड़ा होगा!
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].”
२४“कोई मनुष्य दो स्वामियों की सेवा नहीं कर सकता, क्योंकि वह एक से बैर और दूसरे से प्रेम रखेगा, या एक से निष्ठावान रहेगा और दूसरे का तिरस्कार करेगा। तुम परमेश्वर और धन दोनों की सेवा नहीं कर सकते।
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].
२५इसलिए मैं तुम से कहता हूँ, कि अपने प्राण के लिये यह चिन्ता न करना कि हम क्या खाएँगे, और क्या पीएँगे, और न अपने शरीर के लिये कि क्या पहनेंगे, क्या प्राण भोजन से, और शरीर वस्त्र से बढ़कर नहीं?
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!]
२६आकाश के पक्षियों को देखो! वे न बोते हैं, न काटते हैं, और न खत्तों में बटोरते हैं; तो भी तुम्हारा स्वर्गीय पिता उनको खिलाता है। क्या तुम उनसे अधिक मूल्य नहीं रखते?
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!]
२७तुम में कौन है, जो चिन्ता करके अपने जीवनकाल में एक घड़ी भी बढ़ा सकता है?
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.
२८“और वस्त्र के लिये क्यों चिन्ता करते हो? सोसनों के फूलों पर ध्यान करो, कि वे कैसे बढ़ते हैं, वे न तो परिश्रम करते हैं, न काटते हैं।
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].
२९तो भी मैं तुम से कहता हूँ, कि सुलैमान भी, अपने सारे वैभव में उनमें से किसी के समान वस्त्र पहने हुए न था।
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]
३०इसलिए जब परमेश्वर मैदान की घास को, जो आज है, और कल भाड़ में झोंकी जाएगी, ऐसा वस्त्र पहनाता है, तो हे अल्पविश्वासियों, तुम को वह क्यों न पहनाएगा?
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]
३१“इसलिए तुम चिन्ता करके यह न कहना, कि हम क्या खाएँगे, या क्या पीएँगे, या क्या पहनेंगे?
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].
३२क्योंकि अन्यजाति इन सब वस्तुओं की खोज में रहते हैं, और तुम्हारा स्वर्गीय पिता जानता है, कि तुम्हें ये सब वस्तुएँ चाहिए।
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]}.
३३इसलिए पहले तुम परमेश्वर के राज्य और धार्मिकता की खोज करो तो ये सब वस्तुएँ तुम्हें मिल जाएँगी।
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].”
३४अतः कल के लिये चिन्ता न करो, क्योंकि कल का दिन अपनी चिन्ता आप कर लेगा; आज के लिये आज ही का दुःख बहुत है।
