Mattheum 6
1 Attendite ne iustitiam vestram faciatis coram hominibus, ut videamini ab eis: alioquin mercedem non habebitis apud patrem vestrum, qui in caelis est.
"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 Cum ergo facis eleemosynam, noli tuba canere ante te, sicut hypocritae faciunt in synagogis, et in vicis, ut honorificentur ab hominibus: Amen dico vobis, receperunt mercedem suam.
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 Te autem faciente eleemosynam, nesciat sinistra tua quid faciat dextera tua:
But when you practice charitable giving, do not let your left hand know what your right hand does,
4 ut sit eleemosyna tua in abscondito, et pater tuus, qui videt in abscondito, reddet tibi.
so that your charitable giving may be in secret, then your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
5 Et cum oratis, non eritis sicut hypocritae, qui amant in synagogis, et in angulis platearum stantes orare, ut videantur ab hominibus: amen dico vobis, receperunt mercedem suam.
"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 Tu autem cum oraveris, intra in cubiculum tuum, et clauso ostio, ora patrem tuum in abscondito: et pater tuus qui videt in abscondito, reddet tibi.
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 Orantes autem, nolite multum loqui, sicut ethnici faciunt. putant enim quod in multiloquio suo exaudiantur.
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 Nolite ergo assimilari eis. scit enim pater vester, quid opus sit vobis, antequam petatis eum.
Therefore do not be like them, for your Father knows what things you need, before you ask him.
9 Sic ergo vos orabitis: Pater noster, qui es in caelis: sanctificetur nomen tuum.
Therefore, you should pray this way: 'Our Father in heaven, holy be your name.
10 Adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo, et in terra.
Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Panem nostrum supersubstantialem da nobis hodie.
Give us today our daily bread.
12 Et dimitte nobis debita nostra, sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris.
And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.
13 Et ne nos inducas in tentationem. Sed libera nos a malo. Amen.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.'
14 Si enim dimiseritis hominibus peccata eorum: dimittet et vobis pater vester caelestis delicta vestra.
"For if you forgive people their wrongdoing, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15 Si autem non dimiseritis hominibus: nec pater vester dimittet vobis peccata vestra.
But if you do not forgive people, neither will your Father forgive your wrongdoing.
16 Cum autem ieiunatis, nolite fieri sicut hypocritae tristes. exterminant enim facies suas, ut appareant hominibus ieiunantes. Amen dico vobis, quia receperunt mercedem suam.
"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 Tu autem, cum ieiunas, unge caput tuum, et faciem tuam lava,
But you, when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your face;
18 ne videaris hominibus ieiunans, sed patri tuo, qui est in abscondito: et pater tuus, qui videt in abscondito, reddet tibi.
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 Nolite thesaurizare vobis thesauros in terra: ubi aerugo, et tinea demolitur: et ubi fures effodiunt, et furantur.
"Do not store up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and decay destroy, and where thieves break through and steal;
20 Thesaurizate autem vobis thesauros in caelo: ubi neque aerugo, neque tinea demolitur, et ubi fures non effodiunt, nec furantur.
but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor decay destroy, and where thieves do not break through and steal;
21 Ubi enim est thesaurus tuus, ibi est et cor tuum.
for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
22 Lucerna corporis tui est oculus tuus. Si oculus tuus fuerit simplex: totum corpus tuum lucidum erit.
"The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light.
23 Si autem oculus tuus fuerit nequam: totum corpus tuum tenebrosum erit. Si ergo lumen, quod in te est, tenebrae sunt: ipsae tenebrae quantae erunt?
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 Nemo potest duobus dominis servire: aut enim unum odio habebit, et alterum diliget: aut unum sustinebit, et alterum contemnet. Non potestis Deo servire, et mammonae.
"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 Ideo dico vobis, ne soliciti sitis animae vestrae quid manducetis, neque corpori vestro quid induamini. Nonne anima plus est quam esca: et corpus plus quam vestimentum?
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 Respicite volatilia caeli, quoniam non serunt, neque metunt, neque congregant in horrea: et pater vester caelestis pascit illa. Nonne vos magis pluris estis illis?
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 Quis autem vestrum cogitans potest adiicere ad staturam suam cubitum unum?
"And which of you, by being anxious, can add one cubit to his height?
28 Et de vestimento quid soliciti estis. Considerate lilia agri quomodo crescunt: non laborant, neque nent.
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 Dico autem vobis, quoniam nec Salomon in omni gloria sua coopertus est sicut unum ex istis.
yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these.
30 Si enim foenum agri, quod hodie est, et cras in clibanum mittitur, Deus sic vestit: quanto magis vos modicae fidei?
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 Nolite ergo soliciti esse, dicentes: Quid manducabimus, aut quid bibemus, aut quo operiemur?
"Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?', 'What will we drink?' or, 'With what will we be clothed?'
32 haec enim omnia gentes inquirunt. Scit enim pater vester, quia his omnibus indigetis.
For the unbelievers seek after all these things, for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
33 Quaerite ergo primum regnum Dei, et iustitiam eius: et haec omnia adiicientur vobis.
But seek first the Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
34 Nolite ergo soliciti esse in crastinum. Crastinus enim dies solicitus erit sibiipsi. sufficit diei malitia sua.
Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
