Matthew 6
1 "But beware of doing your good actions in the sight of men, in order to attract their gaze; if you do, there is no reward for you with your Father who is in Heaven.
Kia tupato kei mahi i ta koutou mea tika i te aroaro o nga tangata, hei tirohanga ma ratou: penei kahore he utu ki a koutou a to koutou Matua i te rangi.
2 'When you give in charity, never blow a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and streets in order that their praises may be sung by men. I solemnly tell you that they already have their reward.
Na, ka atawhai koe i te rawakore, aua e whakatangihia te tetere i mua i a koe, kei pera me te hunga tinihanga i roto i nga whare karakia, i nga ara, kia whai kororia ai i nga tangata. He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Kei a ratou ano te utu mo ratou.
3 But when you are giving in charity, let not your left hand perceive what your right hand is doing,
Erangi ka atawhaitia e koe te rawakore, kei mohio tou maui ki ta tou matau e mea ai;
4 that your charities may be in secret; and then your Father--He who sees in secret--will recompense you.
Kia ngaro ai tau atawhainga rawakore: a ko tou Matua e kite nei i te wahi ngaro, mana koe e utu.
5 "And when praying, you must not be like the hypocrites. They are fond of standing and praying in the synagogues or at the corners of the wider streets, in order that men may see them. I solemnly tell you that they already have their reward.
A, ka inoi koe, kaua e pera me te hunga tinihanga; ko ta ratou hoki e pai ai ko te inoi tu i roto i nga whare karakia, i nga kokinga o nga ara, kia kitea ai e te tangata. He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Kei a ratou ano te utu mo ratou.
6 But you, whenever you pray, go into your own room and shut the door: then pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father--He who sees in secret--will recompense you.
Na, ka inoi koe, tomo atu ki tou ruma i roto rawa, a, no ka kati tou tatau, inoi ki tou Matua i te wahi ngaro; a ko tou Matua e kite nei i te wahi ngaro, mana koe e utu.
7 "And when praying, do not use needless repetitions as the Gentiles do, for they expect to be listened to because of their multitude of words.
Na, ka inoi koutou, aua e whakahuatia noatia ko aua kupu ano, kei pera me nga tauiwi: ki ta ratou hoki ma nga kupu maha e rangona ai ratou.
8 Do not, however, imitate them; for your Father knows what things you need before ever you ask Him.
Na, kei rite koutou ki a ratou: e matau ana hoki to koutou Matua ki nga mea e matea ana e koutou, i te mea kiano koutou i inoi ki a ia.
9 "In this manner therefore pray: 'Our Father who art in Heaven, may Thy name be kept holy;
Na kia penei ta koutou inoi: E to matou Matua i te rangi, Kia tapu tou ingoa.
10 let Thy kingdom come; let Thy will be done, as in Heaven so on earth;
Kia tae mai tou rangatiratanga. Kia meatia tau e pai ai ki runga ki te whenua, kia rite ano ki to te rangi.
11 give us to-day our bread for the day;
Homai ki a matou aianei he taro ma matou mo tenei ra.
12 and forgive us our shortcomings, as we also have forgiven those who have failed in their duty towards us;
Murua o matou hara, me matou hoki e muru nei i o te hunga e hara ana ki a matou.
13 and bring us not into temptation, but rescue us from the Evil one.'
Aua hoki matou e kawea kia whakawaia; engari whakaorangia matou i te kino. Nou hoki te rangatiratanga, te kaha, me te kororia, ake, ake. Amine.
14 "For if you forgive others their offences, your Heavenly Father will forgive you also;
Ki te whakarerea noatia iho hoki e koutou nga he o te tangata, ka whakarerea noatia iho ano o koutou e to koutou Matua i te rangi.
15 but if you do not forgive others their offences, neither will your Father forgive yours.
A, ki te kore e whakarerea noatia iho e koutou nga he o nga tangata, e kore ano e whakarerea noatia iho o koutou he e to koutou Matua.
16 "When any of you fast, never assume gloomy looks as the hypocrites do; for they disfigure their faces in order that it may be evident to men that they are fasting. I solemnly tell you that they already have their reward.
Ka nohopuku hoki koutou, kei rite ki te hunga tinihanga, kaua e whakapoururu te kanohi; e whakaahua ke ana hoki ratou i o ratou kanohi, kia kitea ai e te tangata, e nohopuku ana. He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Kei a ratou ano te utu mo rato u.
17 But, whenever you fast, pour perfume on your hair and wash your face,
Engari ka nohopuku koe, kaukauria tou upoko, horoia hoki tou kanohi;
18 that it may not be apparent to men that you are fasting, but to your Father who is in secret; and your Father--He who sees in secret--will recompense you.
Kei kitea koe e te tangata e nohopuku ana, erangi e tou Matua i te wahi ngaro; a, ko tou Matua e kite nei i te wahi ngaro, mana koe e utu.
19 "Do not lay up stores of wealth for yourselves on earth, where the moth and wear-and-tear destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
Kaua e purangatia he taonga mo koutou ki te whenua, ki te wahi e whakangaro ai te huhu, te waikura: ki te wahi hoki e keri ai te tahae, tahae ai.
20 But amass wealth for yourselves in Heaven, where neither the moth nor wear-and-tear destroys, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
Erangi purangatia mo koutou he taonga ki te rangi, ki te wahi e kore ai e whakangaro te huhu, te waikura, ki te wahi hoki e kore ai e keri te tahae, tahae ai:
21 For where your wealth is, there also will your heart be.
Ko te wahi hoki i o koutou taonga, ko reira ano o koutou ngakau.
22 "The eye is the lamp of the body. If then your eyesight is good, your whole body will be well lighted;
Ko te kanohi te rama o te tinana: na ki te atea tou kanohi, e marama katoa tou tinana.
23 but if your eyesight is bad, your whole body will be dark. If however the very light within you is darkness, how dense must the darkness be!
Tena ki te kino tou kanohi, ka pouri katoa tou tinana. Na ki te pouri te marama i roto i a koe, ano te nui o tena pouri!
24 "No man can be the bondservant of two masters; for either he will dislike one and like the other, or he will attach himself to one and think slightingly of the other. You cannot be the bondservants both of God and of gold.
Kahore he tangata e pono te mahi ki nga rangatira tokorua: ka kino hoki ki tetahi, ka aroha ki tetahi; ka u ranei ki tetahi, a ka whakahawea ki tetahi. E kore e pono i a koutou te mahi ki te Atua, ki te taonga.
25 For this reason I charge you not to be over-anxious about your lives, inquiring what you are to eat or what you are to drink, nor yet about your bodies, inquiring what clothes you are to put on. Is not the life more precious than its food, and the body than its clothing?
Koia ahau ka mea nei ki a koutou, Kaua e manukanuka ki to koutou ora, ki ta koutou e kai ai, ki ta koutou e inu ai; ki o koutou tinana ranei, ki ta koutou e kakahu ai. Ehara oti te ora i te rahi atu i te kai, me te tinana i te kakahu?
26 Look at the birds which fly in the air: they do not sow or reap or store up in barns, but your Heavenly Father feeds them: are not you of much greater value than they?
Tirohia nga manu o te rangi: kahore ratou e rui, kahore e kokoti, e kohikohi ranei ki nga whare witi; heoi e whangainga ana ratou e to koutou Matua i te rangi. Ehara oti koutou i te mea pai ake i era?
27 Which of you by being over-anxious can add a single foot to his height?
Ko wai o koutou e taea e ia te whakaaro iho, te hono tetahi wahi ki tona roa, kia kotahi te whatianga?
28 And why be anxious about clothing? Learn a lesson from the wild lilies. Watch their growth. They neither toil nor spin,
A he aha koutou i manukanuka ai ki te kakahu? Maharatia nga rengarenga o te whenua, te tupu; e kore nei e mahi, e kore nei ano e miro:
29 and yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his magnificence could array himself like one of these.
Ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Kihai a Horomona, me tona kororia katoa, i rite ki tetahi o enei te whai kakahu.
30 And if God so clothes the wild herbage which to-day flourishes and to-morrow is thrown into the oven, is it not much more certain that He will clothe you, you men of little faith?
Ha, ki te penei ta te Atua whakakakahu i te tarutaru o te whenua, e tupu nei inaianei, a apopo ka maka ki te oumu, e kore ianei tana i a koutou e rahi ake, e te hunga whakapono iti?
31 Do not be over-anxious, therefore, asking 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'
Na kaua ra e manukanuka, e mea, He aha ta tatou e kai ai? He aha ta tatou e inu ai? Me whakakakahu tatou ki te aha?
32 For all these are questions that Gentiles are always asking; but your Heavenly Father knows that you need these things--all of them.
Ko enei mea katoa nei hoki ta nga tauiwi e rapu ai; e matau ana hoki to koutou Matua i te rangi e matea ana e koutou enei mea katoa.
33 But make His Kingdom and righteousness your chief aim, and then these things shall all be given you in addition.
Engari matua rapua tona rangatiratanga, me ana mea tika; a ka tapiritia enei mea katoa ma koutou.
34 Do not be over-anxious, therefore, about to-morrow, for to-morrow will bring its own cares. Enough for each day are its own troubles.
No reira kaua e manukanuka ki o apopo: ma apopo ano ia e manukanuka. Kati ano i tona ra tona kino.
