Mātiu 6
1 “Vakai ke ʻoua naʻa mou fai hoʻomou foaki ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai, koeʻuhi ke nau mamata ki ai: ka pehē, ʻe ʻikai haʻamou totongi mei hoʻomou Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langi.
Beware of doing your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them; otherwise you have no reward with your Father who is in heaven.
2 “Ko ia ʻoka ke ka fai ha foaki, ʻoua naʻa ke ifi ʻae meʻa lea ʻi ho ʻao, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku fai ʻe he mālualoi ʻi he ngaahi falelotu mo e hala, koeʻuhi ke nau maʻu ʻae fakamālō ʻae kakai. Ko ʻeku tala moʻoni kiate kimoutolu, Kuo nau maʻu ʻenau totongi.
When, therefore, you do a charitable deed, do not cause a trumpet to be sounded before you, as the hypocrites do, in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be glorified by men. Verily, I say to you, They have their reward.
3 Ka ʻoka ke ka fai ha foaki, ʻoua naʻa ʻilo ʻe ho nima toʻohema ʻaia ʻoku fai ʻe ho nima toʻomataʻu:
But when you do a charitable deed, let not your left hand know what your right hand does;
4 Koeʻuhi ke lilo hoʻo foaki: pea ko hoʻo Tamai ʻaia ʻoku ʻafioʻi ʻi he lilo, ʻe totongi fakahā ʻe ia kiate koe.
that your charitable deeds may be in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, himself will reward you openly.
5 “Pea ʻoka ke ka lotu, ʻoua naʻa ke hangē ko e mālualoi: he ʻoku nau manako ke lotu tuʻu ʻi he ngaahi falelotu mo e tuliki ʻoe ngaahi hala, koeʻuhi ke mamata ʻae kakai kiate kinautolu. Ko ʻeku tala moʻoni kiate kimoutolu, Kuo nau maʻu ʻenau totongi.
And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites; 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 Ka ko koe, ʻoka ke ka lotu, hū ki hoʻo potu lilo, pea kuo tāpuni ho matapā, lotu ki hoʻo Tamai ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he lilo; pea ko hoʻo Tamai ʻaia ʻoku ʻafioʻi ʻi he lilo, ʻe totongi fakahā ʻe ia kiate koe.
But do you, when you pray, go into your closet, and when you have closed the door, pray to your Father who is in secret: and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
7 Ka ʻoka mou ka lotu, ʻoua naʻa mou launoa, ʻo hangē ko e hiteni: he ʻoku nau mahalo ʻe fanongo kiate kinautolu ʻi heʻenau lea lahi.
But when you pray, do not use vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they will be heard for their many words.
8 “Ko ia ʻoua naʻa mou tatau mo kinautolu: he ʻoku ʻilo ʻe hoʻomou Tamai, ʻi he teʻeki ai te mou kole kiate ia, ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku mou masiva ai.
Be not, therefore, like them; for your Father knows what things you need before you ask him.
9 Ko ia ke pehē ni hoʻomou lotu: Ko ʻemau Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langi, Ke tāpuhā ho huafa.
In this manner, therefore, pray you: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
10 Ke hoko mai hoʻo pule. Ke fai ho finangalo ʻi māmani, ʻo hangē ʻi he langi.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is done in heaven.
11 Ke foaki mai he ʻaho ni haʻamau meʻakai.
Give us this day the bread for our support.
12 Pea fakamolemole ʻemau angahala, ʻo hangē ko ʻemau fakamolemolea ʻakinautolu kuo fai angahala kiate kimautolu.
And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.
13 Pea ʻoua naʻa tuku ʻakimautolu ki he ʻahiʻahi, kae fakamoʻui ʻakimautolu mei he kovi: He ʻoku ʻoʻou ʻae pule, mo e mālohi, mo e nāunau, ʻo taʻengata. ʻEmeni.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the Evil One.
14 “He kapau te mou fakamolemole ʻae angahala ʻae kakai, ʻe fakamolemolea ʻakimoutolu ʻe hoʻomou Tamai ʻi he langi.
For if you forgive men their offenses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15 Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou fakamolemole ʻae angahala ʻae kakai, pea ʻe ʻikai fakamolemolea ʻe hoʻomou Tamai hoʻomou angahala.
But if you forgive not men their offenses, neither will your Father forgive your offenses.
16 “Pea ka mou ka ʻaukai foki, ʻoua naʻa mou fakamatapeko, ʻo hangē ko e kau mālualoi: he ʻoku nau fakakehe honau mata, koeʻuhi ke hā ki he kakai ʻoku nau ʻaukai. Ko ʻeku tala moʻoni kiate kimoutolu, Kuo nau maʻu ʻenau totongi.
And when you fast, do not put on a sad countenance, as the hypocrites do; for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear to men to be fasting. Verily, I say to you, They have their reward.
17 Ka ko koe, ʻoka ke ka ʻaukai, pani ho ʻulu, mo kaukauʻi ho mata;
But do you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face;
18 Koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa hā hoʻo ʻaukai ki he kakai, ka ki hoʻo Tamai ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he lilo: pea ko hoʻo Tamai ʻaia ʻoku ne ʻafioʻi ʻi he lilo, te ne totongi fakahā kiate koe.
that you may not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
19 “ʻOua ʻe fokotuʻu maʻamoutolu ʻae koloa ʻi māmani, ʻaia ʻoku kai ai ʻe he ane mo e ʻumeʻumea, pea ʻoku haeʻi ʻe he kau kaihaʻa ʻo kaihaʻasi:
Lay not up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal.
20 Kae fokotuʻu maʻamoutolu ʻae koloa ʻi he langi, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai kai ai ʻe he ane pe ko e ʻumeʻumea, pea ʻe ʻikai haeʻi ia ʻe ha kaihaʻa ke kaihaʻasi:
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes, and where thieves do not break through, nor steal.
21 He ko e potu ʻoku ʻi ai hoʻomou koloa, pea ʻe ʻi ai foki mo homou loto.
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22 Ko e maama ʻoe sino ko e mata: ko ia kapau ʻoku lelei ho mata, ʻe fonu ho sino kotoa ʻi he maama.
The lamp of the body is the eye: if, therefore, your eye be sound, your whole body will be light:
23 Pea kapau ʻoku kovi ho mata, ʻe fakapoʻuli ho sino kotoa: ko ia kapau kuo fakapoʻuli ʻae maama ʻoku ʻiate koe, ʻe fēfē hono lahi ʻoe fakapoʻuli ko ia!
But if your eye be diseased, your whole body will be dark. If therefore, the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 “ʻOku ʻikai faʻa tauhi ʻe ha tangata ʻae ʻeiki ʻe toko ua: he te ne fehiʻa ki he tokotaha, kae ʻofa ki he tokotaha; pea te ne kau mo e tokotaha, kae siʻaki ʻae tokotaha. ʻE ʻikai te mou faʻa tauhi ʻae ʻOtua mo e Koloa,
No one can serve two masters: for he will either hate the one and love the other; or he will hold to the one, and neglect the other. You can not serve God and riches.
25 “Ko ia ʻoku ou tala atu ai kiate kimautolu, ʻOua naʻa mou tokanga ki hoʻomou moʻui, ki ha meʻa te mou kai, pe ha meʻa te mou inu; pe ki homou sino, ʻi ha meʻa te mou ʻai ki ai. ʻIkai ʻoku lahi ʻae moʻui ʻi he meʻakai, mo e sino ʻi he kofu?
For this reason I say to you, Be not anxious for your life, what you shall eat, and what you shall drink; nor for your body, what you shall put on. Is not your life a greater gift than food, and your body than clothing?
26 Vakai ki he fanga manu ʻoe ʻatā: ʻoku ʻikai te nau tūtuuʻi pe tuʻusi, pe fetuku ki ha feleoko; ka ʻoku fafanga ʻakinautolu ʻe hoʻomou Tamai ʻi he langi. ʻIkai ʻoku lahi hake ʻakimoutolu ʻiate kinautolu?
Observe the birds of the air, that they neither sow, nor reap, nor gather into granaries. Yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much better than they?
27 Ko hai ia ʻiate kimoutolu ʻe faʻa fakalōloa siʻi ki heʻene moʻui ʻi heʻene tokanga ki ai?
Which of you, by his anxiety, can add one span to his life?
28 “Pea ko e hā ʻoku mou tokanga ai ki he kofu? Tokanga ki he fisiʻi ʻakau ʻoe ngoue, ʻoku feleʻi ʻenau tupu; ʻoku ʻikai te nau ngāue, pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau filo:
And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field how they grow: they toil not, nor do they spin.
29 Ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, naʻe ʻikai tatau ʻae teunga ʻo Solomone ʻi hono nāunau kotoa pē mo ha taha ʻokinautolu na.
But I say to you, That Solomon, in all his glory, was not clothed like one of these.
30 Pea ko ia, kapau ʻoku fakakofu pehē ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae mohuku ʻoe ngoue, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ai he ʻaho ni, kae lī ki he ngotoʻumu ʻapongipongi, pea ʻe ʻikai lahi hake[ʻene fie fakakofuʻi ]ʻakimoutolu, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku siʻi hoʻomou tui?
If then, God so clothes the herb of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31 “Ko ia ʻoua naʻa mou tokanga, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e hā te tau kai?’ pe, ‘Ko e hā te tau inu?’ pe, ‘Te tau kofuʻaki ʻae hā?’
Therefore, be not anxious, saying: What shall we eat? or, what shall we drink? or, with what shall we be clothed?
32 (He ʻoku kumi ʻe he Senitaile ki he ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē: ) he ʻoku ʻilo ʻe hoʻomou Tamai ʻi he langi ʻoku mou masiva ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē.
For after all these things do the Gentiles seek: for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
33 Ka mou fuofua kumi ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua, mo ʻene māʻoniʻoni; pea ʻe fakalahi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē kiate kimoutolu.
But seek first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be given to you in addition.
34 Ko ia ke ʻoua naʻa mou tokanga ki he ʻapongipongi: koeʻuhi ʻe tokanga ʻae ʻapongipongi ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoʻona. ʻOku tatau mo e ʻaho ʻa hono kovi.
Therefore, be not anxious about the morrow, for the morrow will have anxieties of its own. Sufficient for the day is its own evil.
