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 cautious in your alms-giving, not to perform it before men, so that ye may be seen of them: otherwise, ye 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 thou doest alms thou shalt not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may get praise from men. Verily I say to you, They have gotten their reward.
3 Men lè nou ap bay lacharite, pa kite men goch nou konnen kisa men dwat nou ap fè;
But thou, when doing alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
4 ke lacharite nou kapab an sekrè, e Papa nou ki wè an sekrè a, ap bannou rekonpans.
that thy alms may be in secret. And thy Father, who seeth in secret, will reward thee 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 when thou prayest. thou shalt not be like the hypocrites, who are fond of standing up in the synagogues and at the corners of streets to pray, so that they may be seen by people. Verily I say to you, they have gotten 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 thou, when thou prayest enter into thy closet and close the door, and pray to thy Father who is in secret; and thy Father, who seeth in secret, will reward thee openly.
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 when ye pray, be not garrulous like the heathen; for they expect to be heard for their abundance of words.
8 Men pa fè tankou yo; paske Papa nou konnen kisa nou bezwen menm avan nou mande Li.
Therefore, be not like them; for your Father knoweth what is needful for you, before ye ask him.
9 Pou tout sa, priye konsa: “‘Papa nou ki nan syèl la, ke non Ou kapab Sen.
In this manner, therefore, pray ye: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name:
10 Ke Wayòm Ou kapab vini, ke volonte Ou kapab fèt sou latè menm jan ke li fèt nan syèl la.
Thy kingdom come: Thy will be done; as in heaven, so on earth:
11 Bay nou pou jou sa a pen ke nou bezwen an,
Give us our needful bread, this day:
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 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 bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever: Amen.
14 “Paske si nou padone moun yo pou ofans pa yo, Papa nou ki nan syèl la va padone nou menm.
For if ye forgive men their faults, your Father who is in heaven 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 ye shall not forgive men, your Father also forgiveth not you your faults.
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.
And when ye fast, be not sad like the hypocrites. For they distort their faces, that they may be seen of men to fast. Verily I say to you, they have gotten their reward.
17 “Men nou menm, lè nou ap fè jèn, onksyone tèt nou avèk lwil e lave figi nou,
But, when thou fastest, wash thou thy face, and anoint thy head:
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.
that thou mayest not be seen by men as a faster, but by thy Father who is in secret: and thy Father who seeth in secret, will recompense thee.
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.
Lay not up for yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust spoil, and where thieves dig 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 lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where no moth and no rust can spoil, and no thieves dig through nor steal.
21 Paske kote trezò nou ye se la kè nou va ye tou.
For where your treasure is, there will your heart also be.
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 thy eye shall be sound, thy whole body will be luminous.
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 thy eye shall be diseased, thy whole body will be dark. If then the light that is in thee be darkness, how great will be thy 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 man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will honor the one and neglect the other. Ye cannot serve 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 say to you: Be not anxious about your life, what ye shall eat, and what ye shall drink; nor about your body, how ye shall clothe yourselves. Is not the life more important than food, and the body than raiment?
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?
Look at the birds of heaven; which sow not, and reap not, and gather not into storehouses, but your Father who is in heaven feedeth them. Are not ye more important than they?
27 “Epi kilès nan nou ki avèk enkyetid kapab ogmante vi li menm yon ti kras?
And who of you that shall be anxious, can add to his stature a cubit?
28 E poukisa nou enkyete pou zafè rad? “Gade flè lis ki nan chan yo; yo pa travay, ni fè twal;
And about raiment, why are ye anxious? Consider the lilies of the desert, in what manner they grow. They toil not; and they spin not.
29 men Mwen di nou ke menm Salomon nan tout glwa li pa t mete pi bèl rad pase youn nan yo.
Yet I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory, was arrayed like one of them.
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!
And if God so clothe the grass of the field, which exists to-day, and tomorrow falls into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, ye small in faith?
31 “Konsa, pa enkyete nou, pou di: ‘Kisa n ap manje?’ ni ‘Kisa n ap bwè?’ ni ‘Avèk kisa n ap abiye?’
Therefore be not anxious; nor say, What shall we eat, or what shall we drink; or wherewith 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, all these things the people of the world seek after. And your Father, who is in heaven, knoweth that all these things are needful to you.
33 Chèche premyèman wayòm Li avèk ladwati Li, epi tout bagay sa yo ap vini anplis.
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, 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.”
Therefore be not anxious about the morrow: for the morrow hath its own anxieties. Sufficient for the day, is its own evil.
