Matthew 6
1 Take heed that you do not do your acts of righteousness before people to be seen by them, or else you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
“Veye pou nou pa pratike ladwati nou devan moun pou yo kapab wè nou. Si se konsa, nou p ap twouve okenn rekonpans nan men Papa nou ki nan syèl la.
2 So when you give alms, do not sound a trumpet before yourself as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may have the praise of people. Truly I say to you, they have received their reward.
“Pou sa, lè nou ap bay lacharite, pa sonnen yon twonpèt devan nou tankou ipokrit yo konn fè nan sinagòg ak lari yo, pou yo kapab resevwa lonè a lòm. M ap di ou, yo gen tan resevwa tout rekonpans yo.
3 But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
Men lè nou ap bay lacharite, pa kite men goch nou konnen kisa men dwat nou ap fè;
4 so that your gift may be given in secret. Then your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
ke lacharite nou kapab an sekrè, e Papa nou ki wè an sekrè a, ap bannou rekonpans.
5 When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners, so that they may be seen by people. Truly I say to you, they have received their reward.
“Lè nou ap fè lapriyè, pa fè l tankou ipokrit yo. Yo renmen kanpe pou fè lapriyè nan sinagòg yo ak nan kwen lari pou moun kapab wè yo. Anverite, Mwen di nou, yo gen tan twouve tout rekonpans yo.
6 But you, when you pray, enter your inner chamber. Shut the door, and pray to your Father who is in secret. Then your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
“Men nou menm, lè nou ap priye, ale nan ti chanm andedan kay nou an, e fèmen pòt nou. Priye a Papa nou ki an sekrè a, e Papa nou ki wè an sekrè a ap bay nou rekonpans.
7 When you pray, do not make useless repetitions as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard because of their many words.
“Lè nou ap priye, pa itilize anpil mo vag, e san sans jan payen yo konn fè a; paske yo sipoze ke lapriyè yo ap tande akoz anpil mo.
8 Therefore, do not be like them, for your Father knows what things you need before you ask him.
Men pa fè tankou yo; paske Papa nou konnen kisa nou bezwen menm avan nou mande Li.
9 Therefore pray like this: 'Our Father in heaven, may your name be sanctified.
Pou tout sa, priye konsa: “‘Papa nou ki nan syèl la, ke non Ou kapab Sen.
10 May your kingdom come. May your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Ke Wayòm Ou kapab vini, ke volonte Ou kapab fèt sou latè menm jan ke li fèt nan syèl la.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
Bay nou pou jou sa a pen ke nou bezwen an,
12 Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
Epi padone nou ofans nou yo menm jan ke nou padone sila ki fè nou tò yo.
13 Do not bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.'
Epi pa mennen nou nan tantasyon, men delivre nou de mal. Paske wayòm nan, pouvwa a, avèk glwa a se pou Ou menm pou tout letènite. Amèn.’
14 For if you forgive people their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
“Paske si nou padone moun yo pou ofans pa yo, Papa nou ki nan syèl la va padone nou menm.
15 But if you do not forgive their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Men si nou pa padone moun yo pou ofans pa yo, Papa nou p ap padone ofans pa nou yo.
16 When you fast, do not have a mournful face as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces so that they may appear to people as fasting. Truly I say to you, they have received their reward.
“Konsa, lè nou ap fè jèn, pa mete yon figi tris jan ipokrit yo konn fè a. Paske yo neglije aparans yo pou moun kapab wè ke y ap fè jèn. Anverite, yo deja twouve tout rekonpans pa yo.
17 But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,
“Men nou menm, lè nou ap fè jèn, onksyone tèt nou avèk lwil e lave figi nou,
18 so that it would not appear to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret, will reward you.
pou moun pa wè ke nou ap fè jèn, men se Papa nou ki nan sekrè a k ap wè. Konsa, Papa nou ki wè nan sekrè a ap bannou rekonpans.
19 Do not store up for yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
“Pa ranmase trezò nou isit la nan mond sa a kote ensèk avèk lawouj ap detwi yo, e kote vòlè kapab kase antre pou vòlè.
20 Instead, store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
Men pito nou ranmase pou nou trezò ki nan syèl la kote ensèk avèk lawouj p ap detwi yo, e kote vòlè p ap kase ni vòlè.
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Paske kote trezò nou ye se la kè nou va ye tou.
22 The eye is the lamp of the body. Therefore, if your eye is good, the whole body is filled with light.
“Lanp kò nou se zye nou. Konsa si zye nou klè, tout kò nou ap plen limyè.
23 But if your eye is bad, your whole body is full of darkness. Therefore, if the light that is in you is actually darkness, how great is that darkness!
Men si zye nou pa bon, tout kò nou ap plen tenèb. “Konsa, si limyè ki nan nou an se tenèb, ki pwofondè tenèb sa a genyen!
24 No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.
“Nanpwen moun ki kab sèvi de mèt; swa l ap rayi youn pou renmen lòt la, oswa l ap renmen youn pou meprize lòt la. Nou pa kapab sèvi Bondye ak richès.
25 Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink—or about your body, what you will wear. For is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?
“Pou rezon sa a, Mwen di nou pa enkyete nou pou lavi nou, kisa nou ap manje, ni sa nou ap bwè; ni pou kò nou, pou sa nou ap mete sou li. Èske lavi pa plis ke manje, e kò a plis ke rad nou mete sou li?
26 Look at the birds in the air. They do not sow or reap or gather into barns, but your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not more valuable than they are?
Gade zwazo ki anlè yo; yo pa simen, ni rekòlte, ni ranmase pou mete nan depo. Malgre sa, Papa yo bay yo manje. Èske nou pa vo bokou plis ke yo?
27 Which one of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his lifespan?
“Epi kilès nan nou ki avèk enkyetid kapab ogmante vi li menm yon ti kras?
28 Why are you anxious about clothing? Think about the lilies in the fields, how they grow. They do not work, and they do not spin cloth.
E poukisa nou enkyete pou zafè rad? “Gade flè lis ki nan chan yo; yo pa travay, ni fè twal;
29 Yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these.
men Mwen di nou ke menm Salomon nan tout glwa li pa t mete pi bèl rad pase youn nan yo.
30 If God so clothes the grass in the fields, which exists today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, you of little faith?
“Men si se konsa ke Bondye abiye zèb chan an, ki la jodi a, e demen ap jete nan dife, konbyen anplis L ap fè pou nou, o nou menm, moun ki manke lafwa!
31 Therefore do not be anxious and say, 'What will we eat?' or, 'What will we drink?' or, 'What clothes will we wear?'
“Konsa, pa enkyete nou, pou di: ‘Kisa n ap manje?’ ni ‘Kisa n ap bwè?’ ni ‘Avèk kisa n ap abiye?’
32 For the Gentiles search for these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
Paske se tout bagay sa yo ke tout payen yo cho pou chèche, men Papa nou ki nan syèl la konnen ke nou bezwen tout bagay sa yo.
33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness and all these things will be given to you.
Chèche premyèman wayòm Li avèk ladwati Li, epi tout bagay sa yo ap vini anplis.
34 Therefore, do not be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day has enough evil of its own.
“Pou sa, pa enkyete nou pou demen, paske demen ap okipe tèt li. Chak jou gen kont pwoblèm li pou regle pou kont li.”
