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 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 “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.
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 nou ap bay lacharite, pa kite men goch nou konnen kisa men dwat nou ap fè;
But when you practice charitable giving, do not let your left hand know what your right hand does,
4 ke lacharite nou kapab an sekrè, e Papa nou ki wè an sekrè a, ap bannou rekonpans.
so that your charitable giving may be in secret, then your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
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 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 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, 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 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.
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 Men pa fè tankou yo; paske Papa nou konnen kisa nou bezwen menm avan nou mande Li.
Therefore do not be like them, for your Father knows what things you need, before you ask him.
9 Pou tout sa, priye konsa: “‘Papa nou ki nan syèl la, ke non Ou kapab Sen.
Therefore, you should pray this way: 'Our Father in heaven, holy be your name.
10 Ke Wayòm Ou kapab vini, ke volonte Ou kapab fèt sou latè menm jan ke li fèt nan syèl la.
Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Bay nou pou jou sa a pen ke nou bezwen an,
Give us today our daily bread.
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 forgive 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 evil.'
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 people their wrongdoing, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
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 people, neither will your Father forgive your wrongdoing.
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.
"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 nou menm, lè nou ap fè jèn, onksyone tèt nou avèk lwil e lave figi nou,
But you, when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your 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 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 ranmase trezò nou isit la nan mond sa a kote ensèk avèk lawouj ap detwi yo, e kote vòlè kapab kase antre pou vòlè.
"Do not store up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and decay destroy, 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 decay destroy, and where thieves do not break through and steal;
21 Paske kote trezò nou ye se la kè nou va ye tou.
for where your treasure is, there your heart will 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. If therefore your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light.
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 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 “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 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 “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?
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 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?
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 “Epi kilès nan nou ki avèk enkyetid kapab ogmante vi li menm yon ti kras?
"And which of you, by being anxious, can add one cubit to his height?
28 E poukisa nou enkyete pou zafè rad? “Gade flè lis ki nan chan yo; yo pa travay, ni fè twal;
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 men Mwen di nou ke menm Salomon nan tout glwa li pa t mete pi bèl rad pase youn nan yo.
yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed 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!
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 “Konsa, pa enkyete nou, pou di: ‘Kisa n ap manje?’ ni ‘Kisa n ap bwè?’ ni ‘Avèk kisa n ap abiye?’
"Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?', 'What will we drink?' or, 'With what will we be clothed?'
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 the unbelievers seek after all these things, for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
33 Chèche premyèman wayòm Li avèk ladwati Li, epi tout bagay sa yo ap vini anplis.
But seek first the Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
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.”
Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
