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.
"Be careful that you do not do your righteousness before people, to be seen by them, or else you have no reward from 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 you practice charitable giving, do not sound a trumpet before yourself, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may get glory from people. Truly I tell 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 you practice charitable giving, do not let your left hand know what your right hand does,
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.
so that your charitable giving may be in secret, then your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
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 you pray, you are not to 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 others. Truly, I tell 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 you, when you pray, enter into your inner chamber, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
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 in praying, do not use vain repetitions, as the unbelievers do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking.
8 Piga nou fè tankou moun sa yo. Paske, Papa nou tou konnen sa nou bezwen anvan menm nou mande li.
Therefore do not be like them, for your Father knows what things you need, 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.
Therefore, you should pray this way: 'Our Father in heaven, holy be your name.
10 vin tabli gouvènman ou, pou yo fè volonte ou sou latè, tankou yo fè l' nan syèl la.
Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Manje nou bezwen an, ban nou l' jòdi a.
Give us today our daily 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.'
14 Si nou padonnen moun lè yo fè nou mal, Papa nou ki nan syèl la va padonnen nou tou.
"For if you forgive people their wrongdoing, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
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 do not forgive people, neither will your Father forgive your wrongdoing.
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.
"Moreover when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, with sad faces. For they disfigure their faces, that they may be seen by people to be fasting. Truly I tell 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 you, when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your 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.
so that you are not seen by people to be fasting, but by your Father who is in secret, and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.
19 Pa anpile richès nou isit sou latè, kote vè ak lawouj ap manje yo, kote vòlè kapab vòlè yo pote ale.
"Do not store up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and decay destroy, 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 store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor decay destroy, and where thieves do not break through and steal;
21 Paske, kote richès ou ye, se la kè ou ye tou.
for where your treasure is, there your heart will be 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 lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light.
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 your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness.
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 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 both 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 tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
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?
See the birds of the sky, that they do not sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns, and your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not 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 being anxious, can add one cubit to his height?
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 why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They do not toil, 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.
yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like 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!
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?
31 Pa chaje tèt nou ak yon bann keksyon: Kisa n' pral manje? Kisa n' pral bwè? Kisa n' pral mete sou nou?
"Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?', 'What will we drink?' or, 'With what will 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 the unbelievers seek after all these things, for your heavenly Father knows that you need 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.
But seek first the Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
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.
Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
