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.
Yesus nanori nakandoo nae, “Misinedꞌa, e! Afiꞌ tungga-tunggaꞌ a agama hohoro-lalanen fo atahori koa-bobꞌoꞌu nggi. Te mete ma ama tao taꞌo naa, na, hei Amam mana sia sorga nda fee nggi bala-bꞌaeꞌ saa sa boe.
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!
Mete ma hei nau tulu-fali atahori mana kasian ra, na, afiꞌ mii bengga leli sia bee bee. Te mete ma hei tao taꞌo naa, na, hei onaꞌ atahori mana olaꞌ laen, tao laen. Ara hiiꞌ a lao-laoꞌ risiꞌ ume hule-oꞌe huuꞌ a fo atahori koa se oi, ‘Wei, atahori ia ra, seli tebꞌe, o!’ Au olaꞌ no matetuꞌ! Te noꞌ a koaot onaꞌ naa, ara simbo sira hahambun ena.
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].
Dadꞌi mete ma hei mae tulu-fali atahori mana kasian ra, na, afiꞌ mifadꞌe see-see boe e!
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.
No taꞌo naa, atahori sia raefafoꞌ ia nda rahine sa. Te hei Amam sia sorga nahine saa fo ama tao nee-neeꞌ naa. Dei fo Ana bala-bꞌae nggi no papala-babꞌanggiꞌ naen seli.”
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.
“Leleꞌ ama hule-oꞌe, na, afiꞌ tao aom onaꞌ atahori mana olaꞌ laen, te tao laen. Ara hiiꞌ a reu lao-laoꞌ sia dala rarameꞌ a, ma rambariiꞌ sia ume hule-oꞌeꞌ rala, fo atahori hetar rita ma koa-koaꞌ se rae, ‘Wue! Sira ia, atahori meumareꞌ, o!’ Te rena, e! Te mete ma ara simbo kokoaꞌ naa, na, ara simbo rala hahambu nara ena.
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.
Te ama afiꞌ taꞌo naa. Mete ma mae hule-oꞌe, na, kama rala mii fo ena lelesu a. Ma hule-oꞌe neenee neu Amam. Mae atahori nda rita nggi sa o, Amam nita nggi. Dei fo Ana bala-bꞌae fee nggi papala-babꞌanggiꞌ naen seli.
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].
Mete ma ama hule-oꞌe, naa, afiꞌ ola leꞌu-lolo neu nema. Te atahori nda mana rahine Lamatualain sa o hule-oꞌe rahine onaꞌ naa boe. Ara duꞌa rae, mete ma hule-oꞌe loa-naruꞌ onaꞌ naa, na Lamatualain hiiꞌ a rena ma nataa se.
8 Do not [repeat words] as they do, because [God] your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
Afiꞌ tao tungga onaꞌ se, e! Te mae ama nda feꞌe moꞌe saa mbali Amaꞌ sia sorga sa o, Ana bubꞌuluꞌ memaꞌ hei parlu ma ena.
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}.
Dadꞌi mete ma hule-oꞌe, na, hule-oꞌe onaꞌ ia: ‘Amaꞌ sia sorga! Amaꞌ naram meumareꞌ manaseliꞌ Hela fo basa atahori soꞌu rananaru Amaꞌ naram manaseliꞌ a.
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].
Amaꞌ dadꞌi maneꞌ soaꞌ neu basa atahori! Hela neu fo basa atahori tao tungga Amaꞌ parendan sia raefafoꞌ ia, onaꞌ basa mana sia sorga ra tao tungga Amaꞌ parendan sia sorga.
11 Give us [(exc)] each day the food [SYN] that we [(exc) need for] that day.
Amaꞌ tulun pala-banggi fee hai nanaat manadꞌaiꞌ tungga-tungga fai.
12 Forgive our sins just like we [(exc)] have forgiven the people who sin against us [(exc)].
Hai moꞌe Amaꞌ fee ambon neu basa hai sala-kiluꞌ mara, onaꞌ hai fee ambon neu atahori mana tao salaꞌ neu hai boe.
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.”
Amaꞌ, munea hai fo hai afiꞌ tao deꞌulakaꞌ. Ma mboꞌi hendi hai mia nitu a koasan. [Te Amaꞌ, Maneꞌ mana koasa ma manaseliꞌ Amaꞌ mana toꞌu parendaꞌ mukundooꞌ a. Hai hule-oꞌem baꞌu a naa ena, Amaꞌ. Amin.]’
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].
Te rena, e! Mete ma ama fee ambon neu atahori salan, dei fo Amam sia sorga o fee ambon neu sala-kilu mara boe
15 But if you do not forgive other people, neither will God forgive your sins.”
Te mete ma ama nda nau fee ambon neu atahori salan, dei fo Amaꞌ sia sorga o, nda nau fee ambon neu sala mara sa boe.
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!
“Mete ma ama hule-oꞌe no puasa, na, afiꞌ tao mata masaloeꞌ onaꞌ atahori mana olaꞌ laen te tao laen. Huu ara tao taꞌo naa fo atahori koa se rae, ‘Wue! Sira ia, atahori meumareꞌ, o!’ Te rena, e! No koaot naa, ara simbo rala hahambu nara ena.
17 Instead, [each of] you, when you abstain from food, should comb your hair and wash your face [as usual],
Te mete ma ama puasa, na, safe mata mara meuꞌ-meuꞌ, ma sau langga mara malolole!
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.”
Dadꞌi dei fo atahori rita nggi o, nda rahine rae, ama puasa sa. Te hei Amam bubꞌuluꞌ. Dei fo Ana bala-bꞌae fee nggi no papala-babꞌanggiꞌ naen seli.”
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.
“Afiꞌ tao ues nggate-nggate fo miꞌidꞌuru hata-hetoꞌ nae-nae sia raefafoꞌ ia. Te dei fo fufuꞌ no rurutuꞌ tao nalutu se. Ma naꞌo ra rema bonggar fo haꞌi rendi se.
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.
Te malole lenaꞌ ama nggate-nggate tao ues miꞌidꞌuru hata-heto nae-nae sia sorga. Te sia naa fufuꞌ no rurutuꞌ a nda tao nalutu se sa. Naꞌo ra o nda reu bonggar fo haꞌi rendi se sa boe.
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].”
Hei mbedꞌaꞌ hata-heto mara sia bee, na, neꞌo rala mara sia naa boe.”
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].
“Atahori matan, onaꞌ lambu mana naronda sia ralan rala. Mete ma matan manggareloꞌ, na, ana tungga dala masodꞌa maloleꞌ, onaꞌ atahori mana laoꞌ sia manggareloꞌ a.
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].”
Te mete ma matan mana malaafuꞌ, na, ana nda tungga dala maloleꞌ a sa, onaꞌ atahori mana laoꞌ hama-hama sia maꞌahatuꞌ a. Dadꞌi mete ma manggareloꞌ mana sia rala mara dadꞌi maꞌahatu ena, na, hei o misodꞌa sia maꞌahatu manaseliꞌ a boe.”
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].”
“Atahori sa nda bisa tao ues tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ fee neu malangga rua lao esaꞌ sa, huu dei fo ana hii malangga esa lenaꞌ malangga laen. Boe ma ana bisa tungga malanggan esa, ma nda taoafiꞌ neu malanggan esa ka sa. Huu naa, de nda bisa olaꞌ mae, ‘Lamatuaꞌ naa, au Lamatua ngga,’ mete ma tao doiꞌ a dadꞌi lamatua ma.
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].
Naeni de Au ufadꞌe taꞌo ia: afiꞌ duꞌa doaꞌ mae, au usodꞌa taꞌo bee, au ae ua saa, inu saa, pake-nggao saa? Hei duꞌa mae masodꞌaꞌ naa, akaꞌ nanaa-nininuꞌ a, do? Boe ma aom naa, akaꞌ pake-nggaoꞌ a, do? Nda taꞌo naa sa.
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!]
Mete sobꞌa mbui mana ratambele sia lalai a. Ara nda sela-nggari ma etu-oru fo mbedꞌa nanaat sia soka-poleꞌ ra sa. Te hei Amam sia sorga naꞌabꞌoi se nakandooꞌ a. Ana o bisa naꞌabꞌoi nala nggi lenaꞌ se fai. Dadꞌi duꞌa malolole dei. Te Ana nile nggi, lenaꞌ mbuiꞌ naa ra.
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!]
Mete ma atahori rambariiꞌ sia tiroao fo lole-lau aon, na, ana bisa tao namanaru aon, do? Nda bisa sa!
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.
Mete ma hokoꞌ, na, taꞌo bee de ama feꞌe duꞌa doaꞌ bua-loꞌas fai? Mii seꞌu mita buna bakung sia moo-loaꞌ. Ara nda podꞌeꞌ abꞌas, ma tenu-lolo temeꞌ sa.
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].
Te rena malolole, o! Mane Soleman bua-baꞌun meulau manaseli na o, nda naseliꞌ bunaꞌ naa ra meulaun sa.
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]
Lamatualain tao mataꞌ neu bunaꞌ mana nasodꞌa akaꞌ faiꞌ ia, te mbilaꞌ neu ana mate fo atahori nggari e ai rala neu. Mete ma Ana tao taꞌo naa, dei fo Ana pake-nggao nggi lenaꞌ bunaꞌ naa ra. De saa de ama nda mimihere tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ neu E sa?
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]
Dadꞌi ama sudꞌi boe duꞌa doaꞌ mae, ‘Ata taa saa?’ do, ‘Tinu saa?’ do, ‘Pake-nggao saa?
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].
Atahori nda mana ramahere neu Lamatualain sa, ara tao ues ritaꞌ mamate nara fo nau hambu basa naa ra. Te ama afiꞌ taꞌo naa, huu hei Amam sia sorga bubꞌuluꞌ basa saa fo ama parluꞌ a ena.
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]}.
Te akaꞌ na hei musi milalao ue-tataos Na no tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ dei, boe ma musi tungga parendan, dei fo Ana fee seluꞌ basa saa fo ama parluꞌ ra.
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].”
Dadꞌi afiꞌ duꞌa doaꞌ saa fo ama parlu mlbila. Te fai esa na no eni sususan. Faiꞌ ia sususan dai ena.”
