Matye 6
1 Fè atansyon lè n'ap fè devwa nou pou Bondye pou nou pa fè l' yon jan pou fè moun wè. Lè nou fè l' konsa, Papa nou ki nan syèl la p'ap ban nou okenn rekonpans.
Take heed that you do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise you have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
2 Se sa ki fè tou, lè w'ap bay yon moun ki nan nesesite kichòy, ou pa bezwen fè tout moun wè sa, tankou ipokrit yo fè l' nan sinagòg ak nan lari. Yo fè sa pou moun ka fè lwanj yo. Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Konsa, yo tou jwenn rekonpans yo.
Therefore when you do your alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Truly I say to you, They have their reward.
3 Men, lè w'ap ede moun ki nan nesesite, fè l' yon jan pou menm pi bon zanmi ou pa konn sa.
But when you do alms, let not your left hand know what your right hand does:
4 Konsa, kado ou fè a rete yon sekrè. Papa ou menm ki wè sa ou fè an sekrè a va ba ou rekonpans ou.
That your alms may be in secret: and your Father which sees in secret himself shall reward you openly.
5 Lè n'ap lapriyè, pa fè tankou ipokrit yo ki renmen kanpe nan mitan sinagòg ak nan pwent kalfou pou yo lapriyè. Yo fè sa pou moun kapab wè yo. Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Konsa, yo tou jwenn rekonpans yo.
And when you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Truly I say to you, They have their reward.
6 Men ou menm, lè w'ap lapriyè, antre nan chanm ou. Fèmen pòt ou. Lapriyè Papa ou ki la pou kont li avè ou. Konsa, Papa ou menm ki wè sa ou fè an sekrè a, se li ki va ba ou rekonpans ou.
But you, when you pray, enter into your closet, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father which is in secret; and your Father which sees in secret shall reward you openly.
7 Lè w'ap lapriyè, pa plede repete yon bann pawòl pou gremesi. Se konsa moun lòt nasyon yo fè. Yo mete nan tèt yo Bondye va tande yo si yo pale anpil.
But when you pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8 Piga nou fè tankou moun sa yo. Paske, Papa nou tou konnen sa nou bezwen anvan menm nou mande li.
Be not you therefore like to them: for your Father knows what things you have need of, before you ask him.
9 Men ki jan pou nou lapriyè: Papa nou ki nan syèl la, Nou mande pou yo toujou respekte non ou.
After this manner therefore pray you: Our Father which are in heaven, Hallowed be your name.
10 vin tabli gouvènman ou, pou yo fè volonte ou sou latè, tankou yo fè l' nan syèl la.
Your kingdom come, Your will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Manje nou bezwen an, ban nou l' jòdi a.
Give us this day our daily bread.
12 Padonnen tout sa nou fè ki mal, menm jan nou padonnen moun ki fè nou mal.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 Pa kite nou nan pozisyon pou n' tonbe nan tantasyon, men, delivre nou anba Satan. Paske, se pou ou tout otorite, tout pouvwa ak tout lwanj, depi tout tan ak pou tout tan. Amèn
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For your is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
14 Si nou padonnen moun lè yo fè nou mal, Papa nou ki nan syèl la va padonnen nou tou.
For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
15 Men, si nou pa padonnen moun lè yo fè nou mal, Papa nou p'ap padonnen peche nou yo non plis.
But if you forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
16 Lè n'ap fè jèn, pa pran pòz kagou nou tankou ipokrit yo: Y'ap mache ak figi yo rale konsa pou tout moun ka wè y'ap fè jèn. Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Konsa, yo tou jwenn rekonpans yo.
Moreover when you fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear to men to fast. Truly I say to you, They have their reward.
17 Men ou menm, lè w'ap fè jèn, penyen tèt ou byen penyen, lave figi ou byen lave.
But you, when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your face;
18 Konsa, moun p'ap wè si w'ap fè jèn. Papa ou ki la pou kont li avè ou, se li ase ki konn sa. Konsa, Papa ou menm ki wè sa ou fè an sekrè a, se li ki va ba ou rekonpans ou.
That you appear not to men to fast, but to your Father which is in secret: and your Father, which sees in secret, shall reward you openly.
19 Pa anpile richès nou isit sou latè, kote vè ak lawouj ap manje yo, kote vòlè kapab vòlè yo pote ale.
Lay not up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust does corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 Okontrè, anpile richès nou nan syèl la. Paske la pa gen vè ni lawouj ki pou manje yo, ni vòlè ki pou pran yo pote ale.
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust does corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 Paske, kote richès ou ye, se la kè ou ye tou.
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22 Je ou se tankou yon lanp li ye pou kò ou. Si je ou an bon eta, tout kò ou va nan limyè.
The light of the body is the eye: if therefore your eye be single, your whole body shall be full of light.
23 Men, si je ou an move eta, tout kò ou va nan fènwa. Se sa ki fè, si limyè ki anndan ou la se fènwa li ye, se pa ti fè nwa anndan ou fè nwa.
But if your eye be evil, your whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you be darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 Pesonn pa ka sèvi byen ak de mèt an menm tan. Li gen pou l' rayi yonn si l' renmen lòt la. L'ap sèvi byen ak yonn, men l'ap meprize lòt la. Nou pa kapab sèvi Bondye ak lajan an menm tan.
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
25 Se poutèt sa, mwen di nou: Pa bat kò nou pou sa nou bezwen pou manje ak bwè pou viv, ni pou rad nou bezwen pou mete sou kò nou. Eske lavi a pa pi konsekan pase manje? Eske kò a pa gen plis valè pase rad?
Therefore I say to you, Take no thought for your life, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor yet for your body, what you shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26 Gade zwazo k'ap vole nan syèl la: yo pa plante, yo pa fè rekòt, yo pa sere anyen nan galata. Men, Papa nou ki nan syèl la ba yo manje. Eske nou pa vo pi plis pase zwazo yo?
Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much better than they?
27 Kilès nan nou, afòs li fè tèt li travay, kapab mete kèk lanne an plis sou lavi l'?
Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit to his stature?
28 Poukisa pou n'ap bat kò nou pou rad pou nou mete sou nou? Gade ki jan flè raje yo pouse nan savann. Yo pa travay, yo pa fè rad.
And why take you thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 Malgre sa, m'ap di nou sa, wa Salomon ki wa Salomon, ak tout richès li yo, pa t' gen bèl rad tankou yonn nan flè sa yo.
And yet I say to you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Se konsa Bondye abiye pye zèb yo ki la nan jaden an jòdi a, men denmen yo jete sa nan dife pou chofe fou. Nou pa bezwen mande si li p'ap abiye nou tou. Ala manke nou manke konfyans nan Bondye!
Why, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31 Pa chaje tèt nou ak yon bann keksyon: Kisa n' pral manje? Kisa n' pral bwè? Kisa n' pral mete sou nou?
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 Tout bagay sa yo, se moun lòt nasyon yo k'ap kouri dèyè yo tout tan. Men nou menm, nou gen yon Papa nan syèl la ki konnen nou bezwen tout bagay sa yo.
(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek: ) for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things.
33 Pito nou chache bay bagay peyi Wa ki nan syèl la premye plas nan lavi nou, chache viv jan Bondye vle l' la anvan. Lè sa a, Bondye va ban nou tout lòt bagay sa yo tou.
But seek you first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.
34 Se sa ki fè, pa chaje tèt nou pou denmen, paske denmen va gen zafè pa li. Chak jou gen kont chay pa yo.
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient to the day is the evil thereof.
