Matthew 6
1 “Be careful that you don’t do your charitable giving before men, to be seen by them, or else you have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
“Vakai ke ʻoua naʻa mou fai hoʻomou foaki ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai, koeʻuhi ke nau mamata ki ai: ka pehē, ʻe ʻikai haʻamou totongi mei hoʻomou Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langi.
2 Therefore, when you do merciful deeds, don’t sound a trumpet before yourself, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may get glory from men. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward.
“Ko ia ʻoka ke ka fai ha foaki, ʻoua naʻa ke ifi ʻae meʻa lea ʻi ho ʻao, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku fai ʻe he mālualoi ʻi he ngaahi falelotu mo e hala, koeʻuhi ke nau maʻu ʻae fakamālō ʻae kakai. Ko ʻeku tala moʻoni kiate kimoutolu, Kuo nau maʻu ʻenau totongi.
3 But when you do merciful deeds, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand does,
Ka ʻoka ke ka fai ha foaki, ʻoua naʻa ʻilo ʻe ho nima toʻohema ʻaia ʻoku fai ʻe ho nima toʻomataʻu:
4 so that your merciful deeds may be in secret, then your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
Koeʻuhi ke lilo hoʻo foaki: pea ko hoʻo Tamai ʻaia ʻoku ʻafioʻi ʻi he lilo, ʻe totongi fakahā ʻe ia kiate koe.
5 “When you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Most certainly, I tell you, they have received their reward.
“Pea ʻoka ke ka lotu, ʻoua naʻa ke hangē ko e mālualoi: he ʻoku nau manako ke lotu tuʻu ʻi he ngaahi falelotu mo e tuliki ʻoe ngaahi hala, koeʻuhi ke mamata ʻae kakai kiate kinautolu. Ko ʻeku tala moʻoni kiate kimoutolu, Kuo nau maʻu ʻenau totongi.
6 But you, when you pray, enter into your inner room, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
Ka ko koe, ʻoka ke ka lotu, hū ki hoʻo potu lilo, pea kuo tāpuni ho matapā, lotu ki hoʻo Tamai ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he lilo; pea ko hoʻo Tamai ʻaia ʻoku ʻafioʻi ʻi he lilo, ʻe totongi fakahā ʻe ia kiate koe.
7 In praying, don’t use vain repetitions as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking.
Ka ʻoka mou ka lotu, ʻoua naʻa mou launoa, ʻo hangē ko e hiteni: he ʻoku nau mahalo ʻe fanongo kiate kinautolu ʻi heʻenau lea lahi.
8 Therefore don’t be like them, for your Father knows what things you need before you ask him.
“Ko ia ʻoua naʻa mou tatau mo kinautolu: he ʻoku ʻilo ʻe hoʻomou Tamai, ʻi he teʻeki ai te mou kole kiate ia, ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku mou masiva ai.
9 Pray like this: “‘Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.
Ko ia ke pehē ni hoʻomou lotu: Ko ʻemau Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langi, Ke tāpuhā ho huafa.
10 Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Ke hoko mai hoʻo pule. Ke fai ho finangalo ʻi māmani, ʻo hangē ʻi he langi.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
Ke foaki mai he ʻaho ni haʻamau meʻakai.
12 Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.
Pea fakamolemole ʻemau angahala, ʻo hangē ko ʻemau fakamolemolea ʻakinautolu kuo fai angahala kiate kimautolu.
13 Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen.’
Pea ʻoua naʻa tuku ʻakimautolu ki he ʻahiʻahi, kae fakamoʻui ʻakimautolu mei he kovi: He ʻoku ʻoʻou ʻae pule, mo e mālohi, mo e nāunau, ʻo taʻengata. ʻEmeni.
14 “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
“He kapau te mou fakamolemole ʻae angahala ʻae kakai, ʻe fakamolemolea ʻakimoutolu ʻe hoʻomou Tamai ʻi he langi.
15 But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou fakamolemole ʻae angahala ʻae kakai, pea ʻe ʻikai fakamolemolea ʻe hoʻomou Tamai hoʻomou angahala.
16 “Moreover when you fast, don’t be like the hypocrites, with sad faces. For they disfigure their faces that they may be seen by men to be fasting. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward.
“Pea ka mou ka ʻaukai foki, ʻoua naʻa mou fakamatapeko, ʻo hangē ko e kau mālualoi: he ʻoku nau fakakehe honau mata, koeʻuhi ke hā ki he kakai ʻoku nau ʻaukai. Ko ʻeku tala moʻoni kiate kimoutolu, Kuo nau maʻu ʻenau totongi.
17 But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,
Ka ko koe, ʻoka ke ka ʻaukai, pani ho ʻulu, mo kaukauʻi ho mata;
18 so that you are not seen by men to be fasting, but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.
Koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa hā hoʻo ʻaukai ki he kakai, ka ki hoʻo Tamai ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he lilo: pea ko hoʻo Tamai ʻaia ʻoku ne ʻafioʻi ʻi he lilo, te ne totongi fakahā kiate koe.
19 “Don’t lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal;
“ʻOua ʻe fokotuʻu maʻamoutolu ʻae koloa ʻi māmani, ʻaia ʻoku kai ai ʻe he ane mo e ʻumeʻumea, pea ʻoku haeʻi ʻe he kau kaihaʻa ʻo kaihaʻasi:
20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves don’t break through and steal;
Kae fokotuʻu maʻamoutolu ʻae koloa ʻi he langi, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai kai ai ʻe he ane pe ko e ʻumeʻumea, pea ʻe ʻikai haeʻi ia ʻe ha kaihaʻa ke kaihaʻasi:
21 for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
He ko e potu ʻoku ʻi ai hoʻomou koloa, pea ʻe ʻi ai foki mo homou loto.
22 “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light.
Ko e maama ʻoe sino ko e mata: ko ia kapau ʻoku lelei ho mata, ʻe fonu ho sino kotoa ʻi he maama.
23 But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!
Pea kapau ʻoku kovi ho mata, ʻe fakapoʻuli ho sino kotoa: ko ia kapau kuo fakapoʻuli ʻae maama ʻoku ʻiate koe, ʻe fēfē hono lahi ʻoe fakapoʻuli ko ia!
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 can’t serve both God and Mammon.
“ʻOku ʻikai faʻa tauhi ʻe ha tangata ʻae ʻeiki ʻe toko ua: he te ne fehiʻa ki he tokotaha, kae ʻofa ki he tokotaha; pea te ne kau mo e tokotaha, kae siʻaki ʻae tokotaha. ʻE ʻikai te mou faʻa tauhi ʻae ʻOtua mo e Koloa,
25 Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
“Ko ia ʻoku ou tala atu ai kiate kimautolu, ʻOua naʻa mou tokanga ki hoʻomou moʻui, ki ha meʻa te mou kai, pe ha meʻa te mou inu; pe ki homou sino, ʻi ha meʻa te mou ʻai ki ai. ʻIkai ʻoku lahi ʻae moʻui ʻi he meʻakai, mo e sino ʻi he kofu?
26 See the birds of the sky, that they don’t sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you of much more value than they?
Vakai ki he fanga manu ʻoe ʻatā: ʻoku ʻikai te nau tūtuuʻi pe tuʻusi, pe fetuku ki ha feleoko; ka ʻoku fafanga ʻakinautolu ʻe hoʻomou Tamai ʻi he langi. ʻIkai ʻoku lahi hake ʻakimoutolu ʻiate kinautolu?
27 “Which of you by being anxious, can add one moment to his lifespan?
Ko hai ia ʻiate kimoutolu ʻe faʻa fakalōloa siʻi ki heʻene moʻui ʻi heʻene tokanga ki ai?
28 Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin,
“Pea ko e hā ʻoku mou tokanga ai ki he kofu? Tokanga ki he fisiʻi ʻakau ʻoe ngoue, ʻoku feleʻi ʻenau tupu; ʻoku ʻikai te nau ngāue, pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau filo:
29 yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these.
Ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, naʻe ʻikai tatau ʻae teunga ʻo Solomone ʻi hono nāunau kotoa pē mo ha taha ʻokinautolu na.
30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today exists and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, won’t he much more clothe you, you of little faith?
Pea ko ia, kapau ʻoku fakakofu pehē ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae mohuku ʻoe ngoue, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ai he ʻaho ni, kae lī ki he ngotoʻumu ʻapongipongi, pea ʻe ʻikai lahi hake[ʻene fie fakakofuʻi ]ʻakimoutolu, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku siʻi hoʻomou tui?
31 “Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’
“Ko ia ʻoua naʻa mou tokanga, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e hā te tau kai?’ pe, ‘Ko e hā te tau inu?’ pe, ‘Te tau kofuʻaki ʻae hā?’
32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
(He ʻoku kumi ʻe he Senitaile ki he ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē: ) he ʻoku ʻilo ʻe hoʻomou Tamai ʻi he langi ʻoku mou masiva ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē.
33 But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.
Ka mou fuofua kumi ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua, mo ʻene māʻoniʻoni; pea ʻe fakalahi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē kiate kimoutolu.
34 Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient.
Ko ia ke ʻoua naʻa mou tokanga ki he ʻapongipongi: koeʻuhi ʻe tokanga ʻae ʻapongipongi ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoʻona. ʻOku tatau mo e ʻaho ʻa hono kovi.
