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 give to the needy in front of others to be seen by them, otherwise you have no reward from your Father 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.
So when yoʋ give to the needy, do not sound a trumpet before yoʋ, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be praised by others. Truly I say to 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 yoʋ give to the needy, do not let yoʋr left hand know what yoʋr right hand is doing,
4 ke lacharite nou kapab an sekrè, e Papa nou ki wè an sekrè a, ap bannou rekonpans.
so that yoʋr giving may be in secret. Then yoʋr Father who sees in secret will himself reward yoʋ 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.
“When yoʋ pray, do not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and at the street corners so that they may be seen by others. Truly I say to 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 when yoʋ pray, go into yoʋr inner room, shut yoʋr door, and pray to yoʋr Father who is in secret. Then yoʋr Father who sees in secret will reward yoʋ 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 you pray, do not babble on repetitiously like the Gentiles do, for they think they will be heard because of their use of many words.
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.
Pray then like this: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be yoʋr name.
10 Ke Wayòm Ou kapab vini, ke volonte Ou kapab fèt sou latè menm jan ke li fèt nan syèl la.
Yoʋr kingdom come. Yoʋr will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Bay nou pou jou sa a pen ke nou bezwen an,
Give us this day 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 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. For yoʋrs is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. 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 others their trespasses, 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 others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
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 be gloomy like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces so that others will see that they are fasting. Truly I say to 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 when yoʋ fast, anoint yoʋr head and wash yoʋr 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 no one will see that yoʋ are fasting except yoʋr Father who is in secret. Then yoʋr Father who sees in secret will reward yoʋ.
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 on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in 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 treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
21 Paske kote trezò nou ye se la kè nou va ye tou.
For where 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. If then yoʋr eye is clear, yoʋr 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 yoʋr eye is bad, yoʋr whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within yoʋ 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 one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.
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 and 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?
Look at the birds of the sky: They do not sow or reap or gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
27 “Epi kilès nan nou ki avèk enkyetid kapab ogmante vi li menm yon ti kras?
Which of you by being anxious can add a single moment to yoʋr span of life?
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 or 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 not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed 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!
Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O 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?’ or, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘What will 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 the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.
33 Chèche premyèman wayòm Li avèk ladwati Li, epi tout bagay sa yo ap vini anplis.
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will 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 do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious about its own matters. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
