Matye 6
1 “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.
"Be careful not to do your good deeds in the sight of men, in order to be observed by them. If you do, you have no reward with your heavenly Father.
2 “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.
"And whatever you give alms, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and streets, in order that men may praise them. In solemn truth I tell you they already have their reward in full.
3 Men lè nou ap bay lacharite, pa kite men goch nou konnen kisa men dwat nou ap fè;
"But when you give alms, do not let your right hand know what your left is doing,
4 ke lacharite nou kapab an sekrè, e Papa nou ki wè an sekrè a, ap bannou rekonpans.
"so that your alms may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
5 “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.
"And whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the corners of the avenues, in order that men may see them. In solemn truth I tell you that they have their reward in full.
6 “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.
"But you, when you pray, go into your own room and shut your door; pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
7 “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.
"While praying do not say the same words over and over again, as the Gentiles do, for they suppose that by their much speaking they will gain attention.
8 Men pa fè tankou yo; paske Papa nou konnen kisa nou bezwen menm avan nou mande Li.
"Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
9 Pou tout sa, priye konsa: “‘Papa nou ki nan syèl la, ke non Ou kapab Sen.
"So pray in this way. "Our Father who art in heaven, May thy name be hallowed,
10 Ke Wayòm Ou kapab vini, ke volonte Ou kapab fèt sou latè menm jan ke li fèt nan syèl la.
thy kingdom come, and thy will be done, On earth, as in heaven.
11 Bay nou pou jou sa a pen ke nou bezwen an,
Give us today our bread for the day before us;
12 Epi padone nou ofans nou yo menm jan ke nou padone sila ki fè nou tò yo.
And forgive us our debts as we also have forgiven our debtors;
13 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.’
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the Evil One; For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory. Amen.
14 “Paske si nou padone moun yo pou ofans pa yo, Papa nou ki nan syèl la va padone nou menm.
"For if you forgive men their offenses against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you also;
15 Men si nou pa padone moun yo pou ofans pa yo, Papa nou p ap padone ofans pa nou yo.
"but if you do not forgive men your offenses, neither will your heavenly Father forgive you your offenses.
16 “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.
"When you fast, do not look downcast like the hypocrites; for they disfigure their faces so that it may be apparent to men that they are fasting. In solemn truth I tell you, they already have received their reward.
17 “Men nou menm, lè nou ap fè jèn, onksyone tèt nou avèk lwil e lave figi nou,
"But when one of you fasts, let him anoint his head and wash his face,
18 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.
"so that he may not appear to men to be fasting, but to his Father who is in secret; and his Father who sees in secret will reward him.
19 “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.
"Store up for yourselves no treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal;
20 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.
"but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal.
21 Paske kote trezò nou ye se la kè nou va ye tou.
"For wherever your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22 “Lanp kò nou se zye nou. Konsa si zye nou klè, tout kò nou ap plen limyè.
"The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore if your eye is sound, your whole body will be well lighted;
23 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!
"but if your eye is unsound, your whole body will be darkened. If then the very light within you is darkness, how dense is that darkness!
24 “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.
"No slave can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will pay heed to the one and despise the other. You cannot be the slaves both of God and of gold.
25 “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?
"For this reason I say to you, do not be anxious about your life, inquiring what you shall eat or what you shall drink, nor yet for your body, inquiring what you shall wear. Is not your life more than its food, and your body than its clothing?
26 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?
"Behold! the birds in the sky! They neither sow, nor reap, nor gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them; and are not you worth more than they?
27 “Epi kilès nan nou ki avèk enkyetid kapab ogmante vi li menm yon ti kras?
"Which one of you by being anxious is able to add even one cubit to his stature?
28 E poukisa nou enkyete pou zafè rad? “Gade flè lis ki nan chan yo; yo pa travay, ni fè twal;
"Why be anxious then about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They toil not, neither do they spin.
29 men Mwen di nou ke menm Salomon nan tout glwa li pa t mete pi bèl rad pase youn nan yo.
"But I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory was robed like one of these.
30 “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!
"If God then so clothes the grass of the field, which blooms today, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, you of little faith?
31 “Konsa, pa enkyete nou, pou di: ‘Kisa n ap manje?’ ni ‘Kisa n ap bwè?’ ni ‘Avèk kisa n ap abiye?’
"Then do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’"
32 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.
"For all these are things that the Gentiles are eagerly seeking; for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of them all.
33 Chèche premyèman wayòm Li avèk ladwati Li, epi tout bagay sa yo ap vini anplis.
"But continue to seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
34 “Pou sa, pa enkyete nou pou demen, paske demen ap okipe tèt li. Chak jou gen kont pwoblèm li pou regle pou kont li.”
"Do not then be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own anxieties. Enough for each day are its own troubles."
