Matthew 6
1 “Be careful that you don’t do your charitable giving before men, to be seen by them, or else you have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
Kia tupato kei mahi i ta koutou mea tika i te aroaro o nga tangata, hei tirohanga ma ratou: penei kahore he utu ki a koutou a to koutou Matua i te rangi.
2 Therefore, when you do merciful deeds, don’t sound a trumpet before yourself, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may get glory from men. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward.
Na, ka atawhai koe i te rawakore, aua e whakatangihia te tetere i mua i a koe, kei pera me te hunga tinihanga i roto i nga whare karakia, i nga ara, kia whai kororia ai i nga tangata. He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Kei a ratou ano te utu mo ratou.
3 But when you do merciful deeds, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand does,
Erangi ka atawhaitia e koe te rawakore, kei mohio tou maui ki ta tou matau e mea ai;
4 so that your merciful deeds may be in secret, then your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
Kia ngaro ai tau atawhainga rawakore: a ko tou Matua e kite nei i te wahi ngaro, mana koe e utu.
5 “When you pray, you shall not 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 men. Most certainly, I tell you, they have received their reward.
A, ka inoi koe, kaua e pera me te hunga tinihanga; ko ta ratou hoki e pai ai ko te inoi tu i roto i nga whare karakia, i nga kokinga o nga ara, kia kitea ai e te tangata. He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Kei a ratou ano te utu mo ratou.
6 But you, when you pray, enter into your inner room, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
Na, ka inoi koe, tomo atu ki tou ruma i roto rawa, a, no ka kati tou tatau, inoi ki tou Matua i te wahi ngaro; a ko tou Matua e kite nei i te wahi ngaro, mana koe e utu.
7 In praying, don’t use vain repetitions as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking.
Na, ka inoi koutou, aua e whakahuatia noatia ko aua kupu ano, kei pera me nga tauiwi: ki ta ratou hoki ma nga kupu maha e rangona ai ratou.
8 Therefore don’t be like them, for your Father knows what things you need before you ask him.
Na, kei rite koutou ki a ratou: e matau ana hoki to koutou Matua ki nga mea e matea ana e koutou, i te mea kiano koutou i inoi ki a ia.
9 Pray like this: “‘Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.
Na kia penei ta koutou inoi: E to matou Matua i te rangi, Kia tapu tou ingoa.
10 Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Kia tae mai tou rangatiratanga. Kia meatia tau e pai ai ki runga ki te whenua, kia rite ano ki to te rangi.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
Homai ki a matou aianei he taro ma matou mo tenei ra.
12 Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.
Murua o matou hara, me matou hoki e muru nei i o te hunga e hara ana ki a matou.
13 Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen.’
Aua hoki matou e kawea kia whakawaia; engari whakaorangia matou i te kino. Nou hoki te rangatiratanga, te kaha, me te kororia, ake, ake. Amine.
14 “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
Ki te whakarerea noatia iho hoki e koutou nga he o te tangata, ka whakarerea noatia iho ano o koutou e to koutou Matua i te rangi.
15 But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
A, ki te kore e whakarerea noatia iho e koutou nga he o nga tangata, e kore ano e whakarerea noatia iho o koutou he e to koutou Matua.
16 “Moreover when you fast, don’t be like the hypocrites, with sad faces. For they disfigure their faces that they may be seen by men to be fasting. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward.
Ka nohopuku hoki koutou, kei rite ki te hunga tinihanga, kaua e whakapoururu te kanohi; e whakaahua ke ana hoki ratou i o ratou kanohi, kia kitea ai e te tangata, e nohopuku ana. He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Kei a ratou ano te utu mo rato u.
17 But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,
Engari ka nohopuku koe, kaukauria tou upoko, horoia hoki tou kanohi;
18 so that you are not seen by men to be fasting, but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.
Kei kitea koe e te tangata e nohopuku ana, erangi e tou Matua i te wahi ngaro; a, ko tou Matua e kite nei i te wahi ngaro, mana koe e utu.
19 “Don’t lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal;
Kaua e purangatia he taonga mo koutou ki te whenua, ki te wahi e whakangaro ai te huhu, te waikura: ki te wahi hoki e keri ai te tahae, tahae ai.
20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves don’t break through and steal;
Erangi purangatia mo koutou he taonga ki te rangi, ki te wahi e kore ai e whakangaro te huhu, te waikura, ki te wahi hoki e kore ai e keri te tahae, tahae ai:
21 for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Ko te wahi hoki i o koutou taonga, ko reira ano o koutou ngakau.
22 “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light.
Ko te kanohi te rama o te tinana: na ki te atea tou kanohi, e marama katoa tou tinana.
23 But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!
Tena ki te kino tou kanohi, ka pouri katoa tou tinana. Na ki te pouri te marama i roto i a koe, ano te nui o tena pouri!
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 can’t serve both God and Mammon.
Kahore he tangata e pono te mahi ki nga rangatira tokorua: ka kino hoki ki tetahi, ka aroha ki tetahi; ka u ranei ki tetahi, a ka whakahawea ki tetahi. E kore e pono i a koutou te mahi ki te Atua, ki te taonga.
25 Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
Koia ahau ka mea nei ki a koutou, Kaua e manukanuka ki to koutou ora, ki ta koutou e kai ai, ki ta koutou e inu ai; ki o koutou tinana ranei, ki ta koutou e kakahu ai. Ehara oti te ora i te rahi atu i te kai, me te tinana i te kakahu?
26 See the birds of the sky, that they don’t sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you of much more value than they?
Tirohia nga manu o te rangi: kahore ratou e rui, kahore e kokoti, e kohikohi ranei ki nga whare witi; heoi e whangainga ana ratou e to koutou Matua i te rangi. Ehara oti koutou i te mea pai ake i era?
27 “Which of you by being anxious, can add one moment to his lifespan?
Ko wai o koutou e taea e ia te whakaaro iho, te hono tetahi wahi ki tona roa, kia kotahi te whatianga?
28 Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin,
A he aha koutou i manukanuka ai ki te kakahu? Maharatia nga rengarenga o te whenua, te tupu; e kore nei e mahi, e kore nei ano e miro:
29 yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these.
Ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Kihai a Horomona, me tona kororia katoa, i rite ki tetahi o enei te whai kakahu.
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?
Ha, ki te penei ta te Atua whakakakahu i te tarutaru o te whenua, e tupu nei inaianei, a apopo ka maka ki te oumu, e kore ianei tana i a koutou e rahi ake, e te hunga whakapono iti?
31 “Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’
Na kaua ra e manukanuka, e mea, He aha ta tatou e kai ai? He aha ta tatou e inu ai? Me whakakakahu tatou ki te aha?
32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
Ko enei mea katoa nei hoki ta nga tauiwi e rapu ai; e matau ana hoki to koutou Matua i te rangi e matea ana e koutou enei mea katoa.
33 But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.
Engari matua rapua tona rangatiratanga, me ana mea tika; a ka tapiritia enei mea katoa ma koutou.
34 Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient.
No reira kaua e manukanuka ki o apopo: ma apopo ano ia e manukanuka. Kati ano i tona ra tona kino.
