Matye 6
1 Fè atansyon lè n'ap fè devwa nou pou Bondye pou nou pa fè l' yon jan pou fè moun wè. Lè nou fè l' konsa, Papa nou ki nan syèl la p'ap ban nou okenn rekonpans.
Take heed that you do not your justice before men, to be seen by them: otherwise you shall not have a reward of your Father who is in heaven.
2 Se sa ki fè tou, lè w'ap bay yon moun ki nan nesesite kichòy, ou pa bezwen fè tout moun wè sa, tankou ipokrit yo fè l' nan sinagòg ak nan lari. Yo fè sa pou moun ka fè lwanj yo. Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Konsa, yo tou jwenn rekonpans yo.
Therefore when thou dost an almsdeed, sound not a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be honoured by men. Amen I say to you, they have received their reward.
3 Men, lè w'ap ede moun ki nan nesesite, fè l' yon jan pou menm pi bon zanmi ou pa konn sa.
But when thou dost alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doth.
4 Konsa, kado ou fè a rete yon sekrè. Papa ou menm ki wè sa ou fè an sekrè a va ba ou rekonpans ou.
That thy alms may be in secret, and thy Father who seeth in secret will repay thee.
5 Lè n'ap lapriyè, pa fè tankou ipokrit yo ki renmen kanpe nan mitan sinagòg ak nan pwent kalfou pou yo lapriyè. Yo fè sa pou moun kapab wè yo. Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Konsa, yo tou jwenn rekonpans yo.
And when ye pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, that love to stand and pray in the synagogues and corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men: Amen I say to you, they have received their reward.
6 Men ou menm, lè w'ap lapriyè, antre nan chanm ou. Fèmen pòt ou. Lapriyè Papa ou ki la pou kont li avè ou. Konsa, Papa ou menm ki wè sa ou fè an sekrè a, se li ki va ba ou rekonpans ou.
But thou when thou shalt pray, enter into thy chamber, and having shut the door, pray to thy Father in secret: and thy Father who seeth in secret will repay thee.
7 Lè w'ap lapriyè, pa plede repete yon bann pawòl pou gremesi. Se konsa moun lòt nasyon yo fè. Yo mete nan tèt yo Bondye va tande yo si yo pale anpil.
And when you are praying, speak not much, as the heathens. For they think that in their much speaking they may be heard.
8 Piga nou fè tankou moun sa yo. Paske, Papa nou tou konnen sa nou bezwen anvan menm nou mande li.
Be not you therefore like to them, for your Father knoweth what is needful for you, before you ask him.
9 Men ki jan pou nou lapriyè: Papa nou ki nan syèl la, Nou mande pou yo toujou respekte non ou.
Thus therefore shall you pray: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
10 vin tabli gouvènman ou, pou yo fè volonte ou sou latè, tankou yo fè l' nan syèl la.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Manje nou bezwen an, ban nou l' jòdi a.
Give us this day our supersubstantial bread.
12 Padonnen tout sa nou fè ki mal, menm jan nou padonnen moun ki fè nou mal.
And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.
13 Pa kite nou nan pozisyon pou n' tonbe nan tantasyon, men, delivre nou anba Satan. Paske, se pou ou tout otorite, tout pouvwa ak tout lwanj, depi tout tan ak pou tout tan. Amèn
And lead us not into temptation. But deliver us from evil. Amen.
14 Si nou padonnen moun lè yo fè nou mal, Papa nou ki nan syèl la va padonnen nou tou.
For if you will forgive men their offences, your heavenly Father will forgive you also your offences.
15 Men, si nou pa padonnen moun lè yo fè nou mal, Papa nou p'ap padonnen peche nou yo non plis.
But if you will not forgive men, neither will your Father forgive you your offences.
16 Lè n'ap fè jèn, pa pran pòz kagou nou tankou ipokrit yo: Y'ap mache ak figi yo rale konsa pou tout moun ka wè y'ap fè jèn. Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Konsa, yo tou jwenn rekonpans yo.
And when you fast, be not as the hypocrites, sad. For they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Amen I say to you, they have received their reward.
17 Men ou menm, lè w'ap fè jèn, penyen tèt ou byen penyen, lave figi ou byen lave.
But thou, when thou fastest anoint thy head, and wash thy face;
18 Konsa, moun p'ap wè si w'ap fè jèn. Papa ou ki la pou kont li avè ou, se li ase ki konn sa. Konsa, Papa ou menm ki wè sa ou fè an sekrè a, se li ki va ba ou rekonpans ou.
That thou appear not to men to fast, but to thy Father who is in secret: and thy Father who seeth in secret, will repay thee.
19 Pa anpile richès nou isit sou latè, kote vè ak lawouj ap manje yo, kote vòlè kapab vòlè yo pote ale.
Lay not up to yourselves treasures on earth: where the rust, and moth consume, and where thieves break through and steal.
20 Okontrè, anpile richès nou nan syèl la. Paske la pa gen vè ni lawouj ki pou manje yo, ni vòlè ki pou pran yo pote ale.
But lay up to yourselves treasures in heaven: where neither the rust nor moth doth consume, and where thieves do not break through, nor steal.
21 Paske, kote richès ou ye, se la kè ou ye tou.
For where thy treasure is, there is thy heart also.
22 Je ou se tankou yon lanp li ye pou kò ou. Si je ou an bon eta, tout kò ou va nan limyè.
The light of thy body is thy eye. If thy eye be single, thy whole body shall be lightsome.
23 Men, si je ou an move eta, tout kò ou va nan fènwa. Se sa ki fè, si limyè ki anndan ou la se fènwa li ye, se pa ti fè nwa anndan ou fè nwa.
But if thy eye be evil thy whole body shall be darksome. If then the light that is in thee, be darkness: the darkness itself how great shall it be!
24 Pesonn pa ka sèvi byen ak de mèt an menm tan. Li gen pou l' rayi yonn si l' renmen lòt la. L'ap sèvi byen ak yonn, men l'ap meprize lòt la. Nou pa kapab sèvi Bondye ak lajan an menm tan.
No man can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one, and love the other: or he will sustain the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
25 Se poutèt sa, mwen di nou: Pa bat kò nou pou sa nou bezwen pou manje ak bwè pou viv, ni pou rad nou bezwen pou mete sou kò nou. Eske lavi a pa pi konsekan pase manje? Eske kò a pa gen plis valè pase rad?
Therefore I say to you, be not solicitous for your life, what you shall eat, nor for your body, what you shall put on. Is not the life more than the meat: and the body more than the raiment?
26 Gade zwazo k'ap vole nan syèl la: yo pa plante, yo pa fè rekòt, yo pa sere anyen nan galata. Men, Papa nou ki nan syèl la ba yo manje. Eske nou pa vo pi plis pase zwazo yo?
Behold the birds of the air, for they neither sow, nor do they reap, nor gather into barns: and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not you of much more value than they?
27 Kilès nan nou, afòs li fè tèt li travay, kapab mete kèk lanne an plis sou lavi l'?
And which of you by taking thought, can add to his stature by one cubit?
28 Poukisa pou n'ap bat kò nou pou rad pou nou mete sou nou? Gade ki jan flè raje yo pouse nan savann. Yo pa travay, yo pa fè rad.
And for raiment why are you solicitous? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they labour not, neither do they spin.
29 Malgre sa, m'ap di nou sa, wa Salomon ki wa Salomon, ak tout richès li yo, pa t' gen bèl rad tankou yonn nan flè sa yo.
But I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these.
30 Se konsa Bondye abiye pye zèb yo ki la nan jaden an jòdi a, men denmen yo jete sa nan dife pou chofe fou. Nou pa bezwen mande si li p'ap abiye nou tou. Ala manke nou manke konfyans nan Bondye!
And if the grass of the field, which is today, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, God doth so clothe: how much more you, O ye of little faith?
31 Pa chaje tèt nou ak yon bann keksyon: Kisa n' pral manje? Kisa n' pral bwè? Kisa n' pral mete sou nou?
Be not solicitous therefore, saying, What shall we eat: or what shall we drink, or wherewith shall we be clothed?
32 Tout bagay sa yo, se moun lòt nasyon yo k'ap kouri dèyè yo tout tan. Men nou menm, nou gen yon Papa nan syèl la ki konnen nou bezwen tout bagay sa yo.
For after all these things do the heathens seek. For your Father knoweth that you have need of all these things.
33 Pito nou chache bay bagay peyi Wa ki nan syèl la premye plas nan lavi nou, chache viv jan Bondye vle l' la anvan. Lè sa a, Bondye va ban nou tout lòt bagay sa yo tou.
Seek ye therefore first the kingdom of God, and his justice, and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Se sa ki fè, pa chaje tèt nou pou denmen, paske denmen va gen zafè pa li. Chak jou gen kont chay pa yo.
Be not therefore solicitous for tomorrow; for the morrow will be solicitous for itself. Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof.
