Mattheum 6
1 Attendite ne iustitiam vestram faciatis coram hominibus, ut videamini ab eis: alioquin mercedem non habebitis apud patrem vestrum, qui in caelis est.
Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen by them: otherwise ye have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
2 Cum ergo facis eleemosynam, noli tuba canere ante te, sicut hypocritae faciunt in synagogis, et in vicis, ut honorificentur ab hominibus: Amen dico vobis, receperunt mercedem suam.
Therefore, when thou doest [thy] alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do, in the synagogues, and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Verily, I say to you, they have their reward.
3 Te autem faciente eleemosynam, nesciat sinistra tua quid faciat dextera tua:
But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
4 ut sit eleemosyna tua in abscondito, et pater tuus, qui videt in abscondito, reddet tibi.
That thy alms may be in secret; and thy Father who seeth in secret, himself will reward thee openly.
5 Et cum oratis, non eritis sicut hypocritae, qui amant in synagogis, et in angulis platearum stantes orare, ut videantur ab hominibus: amen dico vobis, receperunt mercedem suam.
And when thou prayest, thou shalt 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 by men. Verily, I say to you, they have their reward.
6 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.
But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret, and thy Father who seeth in secret, will reward thee openly.
7 Orantes autem, nolite multum loqui, sicut ethnici faciunt. putant enim quod in multiloquio suo exaudiantur.
But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8 Nolite ergo assimilari eis. scit enim pater vester, quid opus sit vobis, antequam petatis eum.
Therefore be ye not like them: for your Father knoweth what things ye need before ye ask him.
9 Sic ergo vos orabitis: Pater noster, qui es in caelis: sanctificetur nomen tuum.
After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo, et in terra.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as [it is] in heaven.
11 Panem nostrum supersubstantialem da nobis hodie.
Give us this day our daily bread.
12 Et dimitte nobis debita nostra, sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 Et ne nos inducas in tentationem. Sed libera nos a malo. Amen.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
14 Si enim dimiseritis hominibus peccata eorum: dimittet et vobis pater vester caelestis delicta vestra.
For, if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
15 Si autem non dimiseritis hominibus: nec pater vester dimittet vobis peccata vestra.
But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
16 Cum autem ieiunatis, nolite fieri sicut hypocritae tristes. exterminant enim facies suas, ut appareant hominibus ieiunantes. Amen dico vobis, quia receperunt mercedem suam.
Moreover, when ye fast, be not as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear to men to fast. Verily, I say to you, they have their reward.
17 Tu autem, cum ieiunas, unge caput tuum, et faciem tuam lava,
But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thy head, and wash thy face;
18 ne videaris hominibus ieiunans, sed patri tuo, qui est in abscondito: et pater tuus, qui videt in abscondito, reddet tibi.
That thou mayest not appear to men to fast, but to thy Father, who is in secret: and thy Father, who seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
19 Nolite thesaurizare vobis thesauros in terra: ubi aerugo, et tinea demolitur: et ubi fures effodiunt, et furantur.
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 Thesaurizate autem vobis thesauros in caelo: ubi neque aerugo, neque tinea demolitur, et ubi fures non effodiunt, nec furantur.
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal.
21 Ubi enim est thesaurus tuus, ibi est et cor tuum.
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22 Lucerna corporis tui est oculus tuus. Si oculus tuus fuerit simplex: totum corpus tuum lucidum erit.
The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thy eye be single, thy whole body will be full of light.
23 Si autem oculus tuus fuerit nequam: totum corpus tuum tenebrosum erit. Si ergo lumen, quod in te est, tenebrae sunt: ipsae tenebrae quantae erunt?
But if thy eye be evil, thy whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee is darkness, how great [is] that darkness!
24 Nemo potest duobus dominis servire: aut enim unum odio habebit, et alterum diliget: aut unum sustinebit, et alterum contemnet. Non potestis Deo servire, et mammonae.
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. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
25 Ideo dico vobis, ne soliciti sitis animae vestrae quid manducetis, neque corpori vestro quid induamini. Nonne anima plus est quam esca: et corpus plus quam vestimentum?
Therefore I say to you, Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than food, and the body than raiment?
26 Respicite volatilia caeli, quoniam non serunt, neque metunt, neque congregant in horrea: et pater vester caelestis pascit illa. Nonne vos magis pluris estis illis?
Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27 Quis autem vestrum cogitans potest adiicere ad staturam suam cubitum unum?
Which of you by anxious care can add one cubit to his stature?
28 Et de vestimento quid soliciti estis. Considerate lilia agri quomodo crescunt: non laborant, neque nent.
And why are ye anxious for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field how they grow? they toil not, neither do they spin?
29 Dico autem vobis, quoniam nec Salomon in omni gloria sua coopertus est sicut unum ex istis.
And yet I say to you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Si enim foenum agri, quod hodie est, et cras in clibanum mittitur, Deus sic vestit: quanto magis vos modicae fidei?
Wherefore, if God so clotheth the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, [will he] not much more [clothe] you, O ye of little faith?
31 Nolite ergo soliciti esse, dicentes: Quid manducabimus, aut quid bibemus, aut quo operiemur?
Therefore be not anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or what shall we drink? or, with what shall we be clothed?
32 haec enim omnia gentes inquirunt. Scit enim pater vester, quia his omnibus indigetis.
(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 Quaerite ergo primum regnum Dei, et iustitiam eius: et haec omnia adiicientur vobis.
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
34 Nolite ergo soliciti esse in crastinum. Crastinus enim dies solicitus erit sibiipsi. sufficit diei malitia sua.
Therefore be not anxious for the morrow: for the morrow will be solicitous for the things of itself. Sufficient to the day [is] its own evil.
