Matthew 6
1 “Liyaung tuh kowos in tia oru orekma wo lowos ye mutun mwet uh tuh elos in liye ma kowos oru. Kowos fin oru ouinge, ac fah wangin topken ma inge nu suwos sin Papa tomowos su inkusrao.
"Be careful not to do your good deeds in the sight of men, in order to be observed by them. If you do, you have no reward with your heavenly Father.
2 “Ke ma inge, kowos fin sang kutena mwe kasru nu sin mwet enenu, nimet oru in liyeyuk, oana ke mwet wosounkas elos oru in lohm alu uh ac pe inkanek uh. Elos oru ouinge mwet uh in kaksakunulos. Pwayena nga fahk nu suwos, elos eis tari molin orekma lalos.
"And whatever you give alms, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and streets, in order that men may praise them. In solemn truth I tell you they already have their reward in full.
3 A ke kowos sang mwe kasru lowos nu sin sie mwet enenu, oru ke ouiya se ma wanginna mwet etu kac, finne kawuk na fototo se lom.
"But when you give alms, do not let your right hand know what your left is doing,
4 Fin ouinge, na ac fah sie ma lukma, ac Papa tomowos, su liye ma kowos oru in lukma, El ac fah sot molin orekma lowos.
"so that your alms may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
5 “Ke kowos pre, nimet pre oana ke mwet wosounkas elos oru uh! Elos lungse tuyak ac pre ke lohm alu ac ke sruwasrik inkanek uh tuh mwet nukewa in liyalos. Pwayena nga fahk nu suwos, elos eis tari molin orekma lalos.
"And whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the corners of the avenues, in order that men may see them. In solemn truth I tell you that they have their reward in full.
6 A ke kom pre, utyak nu infukil sum, kaliya srungul uh ac pre nu sin Papa tomom su in lukma. Ac Papa tomom, su liye ma kom oru in lukma, El fah sot mwe moul nu sum.
"But you, when you pray, go into your own room and shut your door; pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
7 “Ke kowos pre, nimet orekmakin kas puspis su wangin kalmac oana ke mwet pegan elos oru. Elos nunku mu god lalos elos ac lohngolos ke sripen loes pre lalos.
"While praying do not say the same words over and over again, as the Gentiles do, for they suppose that by their much speaking they will gain attention.
8 Nimet kowos oru oana elos. Papa tomowos El etu tari ma kowos enenu meet liki kowos siyuk sel.
"Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
9 Ke ma inge kowos pre ouinge: ‘Papa tumasr su inkusrao; Eelos oal pwaye;
"So pray in this way. "Our Father who art in heaven, May thy name be hallowed,
10 Tokosrai lalos tuku; Ma lungse lalos in orek fin faclu, ou elos oru inkusrao.
thy kingdom come, and thy will be done, On earth, as in heaven.
11 Kite kut len se inge ma kut mongo misenge.
Give us today our bread for the day before us;
12 Ac nunak munas nu sesr ke ma koluk lasr, Oana kut nunak munas nu sin mwet su orekma koluk nu sesr.
And forgive us our debts as we also have forgiven our debtors;
13 Ac tia kol kut in mwel, a eiskutla liki ma koluk!’ [Tuh Tokosrai lalos, ac ku, ac wolana ma pahtpat, Amen.]
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the Evil One; For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory. Amen.
14 “Kowos fin nunak munas nu sin mwet su orekma koluk nu suwos, Papa tomowos su inkusrao El ac fah oayapa nunak munas nu suwos.
"For if you forgive men their offenses against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you also;
15 A kowos fin tia nunak munas nu sin mwet uh, na Papa tomowos El ac fah tia pac nunak munas ke ma koluk ma kowos orala uh.
"but if you do not forgive men your offenses, neither will your heavenly Father forgive you your offenses.
16 “Ac kowos fin lalo, nimet oru motowos in ngetnget in asor, oana ke mwet wosounkas elos oru. Elos pilesru in nawela manolos tuh mwet uh in akilen lah elos lalo. Pwayena nga fahk nu suwos, elos eis tari molin orekma lalos.
"When you fast, do not look downcast like the hypocrites; for they disfigure their faces so that it may be apparent to men that they are fasting. In solemn truth I tell you, they already have received their reward.
17 A kowos fin lalo, kowos twanla motowos ac kawia sifowos,
"But when one of you fasts, let him anoint his head and wash his face,
18 tuh mwet uh in tia kalem kac lah kowos lalo, a Papa tomowos in lukma mukena etu. Ac Papa tomowos, su etu ma kowos oru in lukma, fah sot mwe moul nu suwos.
"so that he may not appear to men to be fasting, but to his Father who is in secret; and his Father who sees in secret will reward him.
19 “Nimet elosak mwe kasrup nu suwos fin faclu, yen watil ac ras ac kunausla, ac mwet pisrapasr elos ac kunausla acn ma oan we ac pisrala.
"Store up for yourselves no treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal;
20 A kowos in elosak mwe kasrup nu suwos inkusrao, yen watil ac ras tia ku in kunausla, ac mwet pisrapasr elos tia ku in utyak nu we ac pisrala.
"but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal.
21 Tuh yen ma saok lowos oasr we, nunkowos ac oan pac we.
"For wherever your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22 “Atronmutun mwet uh oana sie lam nu ke manolos. Fin wo atronmotom, monum nufon ac fah sessesla ke kalem;
"The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore if your eye is sound, your whole body will be well lighted;
23 a atromotom fin koluk, monum ac fah sessesla ke lohsr. Ke ma inge, kalem se ma oan in kom fin lohsr, ac fuka yokiyen lohsr uh!
"but if your eye is unsound, your whole body will be darkened. If then the very light within you is darkness, how dense is that darkness!
24 “Wangin mwet kulansap ku in kulansapu leum luo. El ac srunga sie, ac lungse el ngia; el ac pwaye nu sin sie, ac kwase el ngia. Kowos koflana kulansupu God ac mani.
"No slave can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will pay heed to the one and despise the other. You cannot be the slaves both of God and of gold.
25 “Pa inge sripa se nga fahk nu suwos mu: Kowos in tia fosrnga ke mwe mongo ac mwe nim su kowos enenu nu ke moul lowos, ku ke nuknuk nu ke monuwos. Ya moul uh tia saok liki mwe mongo? Ac mano uh tia saok liki nuknuk uh?
"For this reason I say to you, do not be anxious about your life, inquiring what you shall eat or what you shall drink, nor yet for your body, inquiring what you shall wear. Is not your life more than its food, and your body than its clothing?
26 Liye won yen engyeng uh — elos tiana orek ima, ku kosrani ac eisani fahko nu in nien filma; a Papa tomowos inkusrao El sang enenu lalos! Ya kowos tia arulana saok lukelos?
"Behold! the birds in the sky! They neither sow, nor reap, nor gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them; and are not you worth more than they?
27 Ya kutena suwos ku in akloesyalik moul lal el fin fosrnga kac?
"Which one of you by being anxious is able to add even one cubit to his stature?
28 “Ac efu kowos ku fosrnga ke ma kowos ac nukum? Liye luman kapak lun ros inima uh: elos tia orekma, ku tuta nuknuk lalos.
"Why be anxious then about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They toil not, neither do they spin.
29 A nga fahk nu suwos: finne Tokosra Solomon in mwe kasrup lal, tia ku in yunulla in kato oana sie sin ros inge.
"But I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory was robed like one of these.
30 God pa yunela mah inima uh, su oan misenge na lutu isisyak ac wanginla. Ya El ac fah tia yunikowosla in arulana wo liki? Sriklana lulalfongi lowos uh!
"If God then so clothes the grass of the field, which blooms today, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, you of little faith?
31 “Ke ma inge, nik kowos mutawauk in fosrngala mu: ‘Mwe mongo nak ac tuku ya me — ku kof nimuk, ku nuknuk luk?’
"Then do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’"
32 (Pa inge ma mwet pegan uh fosrnga kac in pacl nukewa.) Papa tomowos su inkusrao El etu lah kowos enenu ma inge nukewa.
"For all these are things that the Gentiles are eagerly seeking; for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of them all.
33 A kowos in nunku meet ma nu ke Tokosrai lun God ac ma lungse lal, na El ac fah asot ma inge nukewa nu suwos.
"But continue to seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
34 Ke ma inge, nimet fosrnga ke ma ac fah sikyak lutu; tuh ma sikyak lutu fal in fosrngakinyuk lutu. Tia enenu in laesyuk mwe fosrnga lun kais sie len.
"Do not then be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own anxieties. Enough for each day are its own troubles."
