Matthew 6
1 [But] take heed, that ye do not, your righteousness, before men, to be gazed at by them, —otherwise at least, reward, have ye none, with your Father who is in the heavens.
Attendite ne iustitiam vestram faciatis coram hominibus, ut videamini ab eis: alioquin mercedem non habebitis apud Patrem vestrum, qui in cælis est.
2 When, therefore, thou mayest be doing an alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, just as, the hypocrites, do in the synagogues and in the streets—that they may be glorified by men, —Verily, I say unto you, they are getting back their reward.
Cum ergo facis eleemosynam, noli tuba canere ante te, sicut hypocritæ faciunt in synagogis, et in vicis, ut honorificentur ab hominibus: Amen dico vobis, receperunt mercedem suam.
3 But, thou, when doing an alms, let not, thy left hand, know what thy right hand is doing;
Te autem faciente eleemosynam, nesciat sinistra tua quid faciat dextera tua:
4 that thine alms may be in secret, —and, thy Father, who seeth in secret, will give it back to thee.
ut sit eleemosyna tua in abscondito, et Pater tuus, qui videt in abscondito, reddet tibi.
5 And, when ye may be praying, ye shall not be as the hypocrites, because they love, in the synagogues, and at the corners of the broad ways, to take their stand and pray, that they may shine before men; Verily, I say unto you, they are getting back their reward.
Et cum oratis, non eritis sicut hypocritæ, qui amant in synagogis, et in angulis platearum stantes orare, ut videantur ab hominibus: Amen dico vobis, receperunt mercedem suam.
6 But, thou, when thou wouldest pray, enter into thy closet, and, fastening thy door, pray unto thy Father who is in secret, —and, thy Father who seeth in secret, will reward thee.
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.
7 And, being at prayer, use not vain repetitions, just like the nations, —for they think, that, in their much speaking, they shall be hoard;
Orantes autem, nolite multum loqui, sicut ethnici. Putant enim quod in multiloquio suo exaudiantur.
8 do not, therefore, make yourselves like them, for [God] your Father knoweth of what things ye have, need, before ye ask him.
Nolite ergo assimilari eis. Scit enim Pater vester, quid opus sit vobis, antequam petatis eum.
9 Thus, therefore pray, ye: Our Father, who art in the heavens, —Hallowed be thy name,
Sic ergo vos orabitis: Pater noster, qui es in cælis: sanctificetur nomen tuum.
10 Come may thy kingdom, —Accomplished be thy will, as in heaven, also on earth:
Adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in cælo, et in terra.
11 Our needful bread, give us, this day;
Panem nostrum supersubstantialem da nobis hodie.
12 And forgive us our debts, as, we also, have forgiven our debtors;
Et dimitte nobis debita nostra, sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris.
13 And bring us not into temptation, but rescue us from the evil one.
Et ne nos inducas in tentationem. Sed libera nos a malo. Amen.
14 For, if ye forgive men their faults, Your Father who is in the heavens, will forgive, even you;
Si enim dimiseritis hominibus peccata eorum: dimittet et vobis Pater vester cælestis delicta vestra.
15 But, if ye forgive not men [their faults], neither will your Father forgive, your faults.
Si autem non dimiseritis hominibus: nec Pater vester dimittet vobis peccata vestra.
16 And, when ye may he fasting, become not ye, as the hypocrites, of sullen countenance, —for they darken their looks, that they may appear, unto men, to be fasting: Verily, I say unto you, they are getting back their reward.
Cum autem ieiunatis, nolite fieri sicut hypocritæ tristes. Exterminant enim facies suas, ut appareant hominibus ieiunantes. Amen dico vobis, quia receperunt mercedem suam.
17 But, when, thou, art fasting, anoint thy head, and, thy face, wash, —
Tu autem, cum ieiunas, unge caput tuum, et faciem tuam lava,
18 that thou do not appear, unto men, to be fasting, but to thy Father who is in secret, —and, thy Father who seeth in secret, will reward thee.
ne videaris hominibus ieiunans, sed Patri tuo, qui est in abscondito: et Pater tuus, qui videt in abscondito, reddet tibi.
19 Be not laying up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where, moth and rust, do tarnish, and where, thieves, dig through and steal;
Nolite thesaurizare vobis thesauros in terra: ubi ærugo, et tinea demolitur: et ubi fures effodiunt, et furantur.
20 but be laying up or yourselves treasures in heaven, where, neither moth nor rust, doth tarnish, and where, thieves, dig not through nor steal:
Thesaurizate autem vobis thesauros in cælo: ubi neque ærugo, neque tinea demolitur, et ubi fures non effodiunt, nec furantur.
21 for, where, thy treasure, is, there, will be, thy heart [also].
Ubi enim est thesaurus tuus, ibi est et cor tuum.
22 The lamp of the body, is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body, shall be, lighted up;
Lucerna corporis tui est oculus tuus. Si oculus tuus fuerit simplex: totum corpus tuum lucidum erit.
23 But, if thine eye be, evil, thy whole body, shall be, in the dark; —if therefore, the light which is in thee, is, darkness, the darkness, how great!
Si autem oculus tuus fuerit nequam: totum corpus tuum tenebrosum erit. Si ergo lumen, quod in te est, tenebræ sunt: ipsæ tenebræ quantæ erunt!
24 No one, unto two masters, can be in service; for either, the one, he will hate, and, the other, love, or, one, he will hold to, and, the other, despise: Ye cannot be in service, unto God, and, unto Riches.
Nemo potest duobus dominis servire: aut enim unum odio habebit, et alterum diliget: aut unum sustinebit, et alterum contemnet. Non potestis Deo servire, et mammonæ.
25 For this cause, I say unto you: Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat [or what ye shall drink], —or for your body, what ye shall put on: Is not, the life, more than, the food? And, the body, than, the raiment?
Ideo dico vobis, ne soliciti sitis animæ vestræ quid manducetis, neque corpori vestro quid induamini. Nonne anima plus est quam esca: et corpus plus quam vestimentum?
26 Observe intently, the birds of the heaven, —that they neither sow, nor reap, nor gather into barns, and yet, your heavenly Father, feedeth, them: Are no, ye, much better than, they?
Respicite volatilia cæli, quoniam non serunt, neque metunt, neque congregant in horrea: et Pater vester cælestis pascit illa. Nonne vos magis pluris estis illis?
27 But who from among you, being anxious, can add to his stature one cubit?
Quis autem vestrum cogitans potest adiicere ad staturam suam cubitum unum?
28 And, about clothing, why are ye anxious? Consider well the lilies of the field, how they grow, —they toil not neither do they spin;
Et de vestimento quid soliciti estis? Considerate lilia agri quomodo crescunt: non laborant, neque nent.
29 And yet, I say unto you, not even Solomon, in all his glory, was arrayed like, one of these!
Dico autem vobis, quoniam nec Salomon in omni gloria sua coopertus est sicut unum ex istis.
30 Now, if the grass of the field—which to-day, is, and, to-morrow, into an oven, is cast—God thus adorneth, not much rather, you, little of faith?
Si autem fœnum agri, quod hodie est, et cras in clibanum mittitur, Deus sic vestit: quanto magis vos modicæ fidei?
31 Do not then be anxious saying, What shall we eat? or What shall we drink? or Wherewithal shall we be arrayed?
Nolite ergo soliciti esse, dicentes: Quid manducabimus, aut quid bibemus, aut quo operiemur?
32 For, all these things, the nations, seek after, —for your heavenly Father, knoweth, that ye are needing, all these things.
Hæc enim omnia Gentes inquirunt. Scit enim Pater vester, quia his omnibus indigetis.
33 But be seeking first, the kingdom and its righteousness, —and, all these things, shall be added unto you.
Quærite ergo primum regnum Dei, et iustitiam eius: et hæc omnia adiicientur vobis.
34 Do not, then, be anxious for the morrow; for the morrow, will be anxious, for itself: Sufficient for the day, is the evil thereof.
Nolite ergo soliciti esse in crastinum. Crastinus enim dies solicitus erit sibi ipsi. Sufficit diei malitia sua.
