< Matthew 6 >

1 "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.
Pazite, da ne boste dajali miloščine svoje pred ljudmi, da bi vas oni videli; sicer nimate plačila pri očetu svojem, ki je na nebesih.
2 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.
Kedar torej daješ miloščino, ne trobi pred seboj, kakor delajo hinavci po shajališčih in po ulicah, da jih hvalijo ljudjé. Resnično vam pravim: Prejeli so plačilo svoje.
3 But when you practice charitable giving, do not let your left hand know what your right hand does,
Ti pa, kedar daješ miloščino, ne vé naj levica tvoja, kaj dela desnica tvoja:
4 so that your charitable giving may be in secret, then your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
Da bo miloščina tvoja na skrivnem. In oče tvoj, ki vidi na skrivnem, on ti bo povrnil očitno.
5 "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.
In kedar moliš, ne bodi kakor hinavci, da radi po shajališčih in po uličnih oglih stojé in molijo, da se pokažejo ljudém. Resnično vam pravim, da so prejeli plačilo svoje.
6 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.
Ti pa, kedar moliš, vnidi v hram svoj, in zapri duri svoje, ter se pomoli očetu svojemu na skrivnem. In oče tvoj, ki vidi na skrivnem, povrnil ti bo očitno.
7 And in praying, do not use vain repetitions, as the unbelievers do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking.
Kedar pa molite, ne govorite mnogo, kakor pogani; kajti oni mislijo, da bodo uslišani za voljo obilnih besed svojih.
8 Therefore do not be like them, for your Father knows what things you need, before you ask him.
Ne primerjajte se torej njim; kajti oče vaš vé, česa vam je treba, predno ga vi prosite.
9 Therefore, you should pray this way: 'Our Father in heaven, holy be your name.
Zatorej molite vi takole: Oče naš, ki si na nebesih; posveti se ime tvoje;
10 Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Pridi kraljestvo tvoje; zgodi se volja tvoja, kakor na nebu, tudi na zemlji;
11 Give us today our daily bread.
Kruh naš vsakdanji daj nam danes;
12 And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.
In odpusti nam dolge naše, kakor tudi mi odpuščamo dolžnikom svojim;
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.'
In ne vpelji nas v izkušnjavo, nego reši nas zlega; ker tvoje je kraljestvo in moč in slava na vekomaj. Amen.
14 "For if you forgive people their wrongdoing, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
Kajti če odpuščate ljudém njih grehe, odpustil bo tudi vam oče vaš nebeški.
15 But if you do not forgive people, neither will your Father forgive your wrongdoing.
Če pa ne odpuščate ljudém njih grehov, tudi oče vaš ne bo odpustil vaših grehov.
16 "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.
Kedar se pa postite, ne bodite žalostni, kakor hinavci; ker grdé obraze svoje, da se pokažejo ljudém, da se postijo. Resnično vam pravim, da so prejeli plačilo svoje.
17 But you, when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your face;
Ti pa, kedar se postiš, namaži glavo svojo, in obraz svoj umij:
18 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.
Da te ne bodo videli ljudjé, da se postiš, nego oče tvoj, ki je na skrivnem. In oče tvoj, ki vidi na skrivnem, povrnil ti bo očitno.
19 "Do not store up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and decay destroy, and where thieves break through and steal;
Ne nabirajte si zakladov na zemlji, kjer molj in rja razjeda, in kjer tatovi podkopujejo in kradejo.
20 but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor decay destroy, and where thieves do not break through and steal;
Nego nabirajte si zaklade na nebu, kjer ne molj ne rja ne razjeda, in kjer tatovi ne podkopujejo in ne kradejo.
21 for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Kajti kjer je zaklad vaš, tam bo tudi srce vaše.
22 "The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light.
Sveča telesu je oko. Če je torej oko tvoje prosto, svetlo bo vse telo tvoje;
23 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.
Če je pa oko tvoje hudobno, temno bo vse telo tvoje. Če je torej luč, ki je v tebi, tema, kakošna bo ta tema?
24 "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.
Nikdor ne more dvema gospodoma služiti: kajti ali bo enega mrzil, in drugega ljubil; ali enega cenil, in drugega zaničeval. Ne morete Bogu služiti in mamonu.
25 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?
Za to vam pravim: Ne skrbite za življenje svoje, kaj boste jedli in kaj boste pili; tudi ne za telo svoje, kaj boste oblekli. Mar ni življenje več, kakor hrana; in telo več, kakor obleka?
26 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?
Poglejte na tice nebeške, da ne sejejo in ne žanjejo in tudi ne spravljajo v žitnice, in oče vaš nebeški jih živí. Mar niste vi mnogo bolji od njih?
27 "And which of you, by being anxious, can add one cubit to his height?
Kdo od vas pa skrbeč, more postavi svojej primakniti en komolec?
28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They do not toil, neither do they spin,
In za obleko kaj skrbite? Poglejte na lilije na polji, kako rastejo; ne trudijo se in ne predejo.
29 yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these.
Pravim vam pa, da se tudi Solomon v vsej slavi svojej ni oblekel, kakor teh ena.
30 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?
Če pa travo na polji, ktera danes stojí, in jutri se meče v peč, Bog tako oblači, mar ne mnogo bolj vas, maloverni?
31 "Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?', 'What will we drink?' or, 'With what will we be clothed?'
Ne skrbite torej, in ne govorite: Kaj bomo jedli? ali kaj bomo pili? ali kaj bomo oblekli?
32 For the unbelievers seek after all these things, for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
Kajti vsega tega iščejo pogani. Saj oče vaš nebeški vé, da vsega tega potrebujete.
33 But seek first the Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Nego iščite najprej kraljestva Božjega in pravice njegove, in vse to vam se bo pridalo.
34 Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Ne skrbite torej za jutri; kajti jutri bo skrbel za svoje. Dosti ima dan svojega zlega.
