Matye 6
Nouvo Testaman: Vèsyon Kreyòl Fasil
Jezi ap pale sou lè moun bay
6 Fè atansyon, lè w ap fè sa ki byen, pou ou pa tonbe nan fè wè. Ou p ap jwenn okenn rekonpans nan men Papa ou ki nan syèl la si ou tonbe nan fè wè.
2 Lè w bay pòv yon bagay, ou pa bezwen ap klewonen twonpèt pou moun ka wè w. Pa aji tankou ipokrit. Se kon sa yo fè l nan sinagòg yo ak nan lari a, pou yo ka resevwa louwanj nan men moun. Anverite, m ap di nou: yo jwenn rekonpans yo deja. 3 Men lè w ap bay pòv yon bagay, pa kite men gòch ou konnen sa men dwat ou ap fè. 4 Konsa, sa w bay la ka fèt an sekrè. Papa ou ki nan syèl la, ki konnen tout sekrè, se li k ap ba w rekonpans ou merite a.
Jezi anseye kijan pou n lapriyè
(Lik 11:2-4)
5 Lè ou ap priye pa fè tankou ipokrit yo. Yo renmen kanpe nan sinagòg ak nan kafou pou priye byen fò, paske yo bezwen lòt moun wè y ap priye. Anverite m ap di nou: yo jwenn rekonpans yo deja. 6 Men ou menm lè ou ap priye antre nan chanm ou, fèmen pòt la. Apre sa, priye Papa w. Li menm ki konnen tout sekrè, l ap ba w rekonpans ou.
7 Lè ou ap lapriyè, pa plede ap repete menm mo yo plizyè fwa menm jan ak moun ki pa konnen Bondye yo. Yo panse se afòs yo pale anpil yo va jwenn repons. 8 Pa fè tankou moun ki pa konn Bondye yo, paske Papa w konnen sa w gen bezwen, anvan menm ou mande l. 9 Men kijan ou dwe priye:
Papa nou ki nan syèl la,
se pou tout moun fè lwanj pou non ou ki sen.
10 Vin tabli wayòm ou an.
Se pou volonte w fèt sou tè a menm jan ak nan syèl la.
11 Ban nou jodi a jou manje nou bezwen pou chak jou.
12 Padone peche nou yo
menm jan nou menm nou padone moun ki fè nou mal.
13 Pa kite nou tonbe anba tantasyon,
men delivre nou anba mechan an.[a][b]
14 Si nou padone lòt moun ki fè nou mal, Papa nou ki nan syèl la ap padone nou tou. 15 Men si nou pa padone lòt moun yo, Papa nou ki nan syèl la p ap padone nou nonplis.
Jezi ap pale sou lè moun ap jèn
16 Lè nou ap fè jèn, pa fè figi nou long tankou ipokrit. Yo fè figi yo tris pou tout moun ka wè y ap jene. Anverite m ap di nou: yo jwenn rekonpans yo deja. 17 Men nou menm, lè n ap jene, lave vizaj nou. Fè figi nou byen fre. 18 Konsa, moun pa menm konnen si n ap fè jèn, men Papa nou ki nan syèl la, ki konnen tout ti sekrè, li va ban nou rekonpans nou.
Nou pa ka sèvi de (2) mèt alafwa
(Lik 12:33-34; 11:34-36; 16:13)
19 Pa chita ap rasanble richès isit sou latè. Mit ap pike yo. Lawouy[c] ap detwi yo. Vòlè ap kase kay ou pran yo. 20 Ranmase richès nan syèl la pito, kote ki pa gen ni mit, ni wouy, ni vòlè k ap kase kay moun. 21 Kote richès ou ye, se la kè w ap ye tou.
22 Se je yon moun ki sèvi kòm sèl sous limyè[d] pou rès kò a. Si ou gade lòt moun avèk yon je jenere, y ap wè ou se yon moun ki ranpli ak limyè. 23 Men, si ou gade moun ak move je, y ap wè ou se yon moun ki ranpli ak fènwa. Epi si limyè a plonje nan fènwa, pa gen anyen ki ka retire l.
24 Pèsonn pa ka janm sèvi de mèt alafwa. Se oubyen li rayi youn epi li renmen lòt la. L ap sèvi youn byen epi l ap meprize lòt la. Li pa posib pou nou sèvi Bondye ak richès[e] anmenmtan.
Mete Wayòm Bondye a anvan tout bagay
(Lik 12:22-34)
25 Se poutèt sa mwen di nou: Pa bay kò nou traka pou kisa n ap manje, osinon ki kote n ap jwenn rad pou n met sou nou. Èske lavi pa gen plis valè pase manje? Èske kò a pa gen plis valè pase rad? 26 Gade zwazo yo k ap vole, yo pa simen, yo pa rekòlte, yo pa gen depo manje. Epoutan, Papa nou ki nan syèl la ba yo manje pou yo manje. Èske nou pa gen plis valè pase zwazo yo? 27 Kilès nan nou ki ka ajoute menm yon sèl èdtan sou lavi li afòs li bay tèt li traka pou sa?
28 Poukisa n ap bay tèt nou traka kon sa pou rad? Gade jan flè ki nan raje yo grandi. Yo pa travay, yo pa koud rad. 29 M ap di nou sa, menm wa Salomon, nan tout laglwa li, li pa t abiye bèl tankou youn nan flè sa yo. 30 E si zèb nan jaden jodi a, zèb yo pral boule nan dife demen, Bondye pran tan pou l abiye yo si bèl, e nou menm atò? Ala piti lafwa nou piti!
31 Pa kòmanse ap chaje tèt nou sou kisa n pral manje, kisa n pral bwè, oswa kisa n pral met sou nou. 32 Se moun ki pa konnen Bondye ki toujou ap kouri dèyè bagay sa yo. Papa nou ki nan syèl la deja konnen nou bezwen tout bagay sa yo. 33 Konsa, wayòm Bondye a ak jan l mande pou nou viv dwe gen premye plas nan kè nou. Bondye ap ban nou tout lòt sa nou bezwen kòm degi. 34 Konsa, pa chaje tèt nou jodi a ak bagay ki gen pou rive demen. Demen gen pwòp chay pa l. Chak jou vin ak lo tèt chaje pa l.

Matthew 6
New King James Version
Do Good to Please God
6 “Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven. 2 Therefore, (A)when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. 3 But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret (B)will Himself reward you [a]openly.
The Model Prayer(C)
5 “And when you pray, you shall not be like the [b]hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. 6 But you, when you pray, (D)go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you [c]openly. 7 And when you pray, (E)do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. (F)For they think that they will be heard for their many words.
8 “Therefore do not be like them. For your Father (G)knows the things you have need of before you ask Him. 9 In this (H)manner, therefore, pray:
(I)Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your (J)name.
10 Your kingdom come.
(K)Your will be done
On earth (L)as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our (M)daily bread.
12 And (N)forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
13 (O)And do not lead us into temptation,
But (P)deliver us from the evil one.
[d]For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
14 (Q)“For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But (R)if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Fasting to Be Seen Only by God
16 “Moreover, (S)when you fast, do not be like the [e]hypocrites, with a sad countenance. For they disfigure their faces that they may appear to men to be fasting. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. 17 But you, when you fast, (T)anoint your head and wash your face, 18 so that you do not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you [f]openly.
Lay Up Treasures in Heaven(U)
19 (V)“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; 20 (W)but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
The Lamp of the Body(X)
22 (Y)“The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is [g]good, your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eye is [h]bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
You Cannot Serve God and Riches
24 (Z)“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. (AA)You cannot serve God and [i]mammon.
Do Not Worry(AB)
25 “Therefore I say to you, (AC)do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26 (AD)Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 Which of you by worrying can add one [j]cubit to his [k]stature?
28 “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not [l]arrayed like one of these. 30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But (AE)seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Matthew 6
English Standard Version
Giving to the Needy
6 “Beware of (A)practicing your righteousness before other people in order (B)to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
2 (C)“Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may (D)be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have (E)received their reward. 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. (F)And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
The Lord's Prayer
5 “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love (G)to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. (H)Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 6 But when you pray, (I)go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. (J)And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
7 “And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as (K)the Gentiles do, for (L)they think that they will be heard (M)for their many words. 8 Do not be like them, (N)for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. 9 (O)Pray then like this:
(P)“Our Father in heaven,
(Q)hallowed be (R)your name.[a]
10 (S)Your kingdom come,
(T)your will be done,[b]
(U)on earth as it is in heaven.
11 (V)Give us (W)this day our daily bread,[c]
12 and forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And (X)lead us not into temptation,
but (Y)deliver us from (Z)evil.[d]
14 (AA)For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, 15 (AB)but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Fasting
16 “And (AC)when you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by others. (AD)Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 17 But when you fast, (AE)anoint your head and wash your face, 18 that your fasting may not be seen by others but by your Father who is in secret. (AF)And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
Lay Up Treasures in Heaven
19 (AG)“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where (AH)moth and rust[e] destroy and where thieves (AI)break in and steal, 20 (AJ)but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
22 (AK)“The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, 23 (AL)but if (AM)your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!
24 (AN)“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and (AO)money.[f]
Do Not Be Anxious
25 (AP)“Therefore I tell you, (AQ)do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 (AR)Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. (AS)Are you not of more value than they? 27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his (AT)span of life?[g] 28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, 29 yet I tell you, (AU)even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, (AV)O you of little faith? 31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For (AW)the Gentiles seek after all these things, and (AX)your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33 But (AY)seek first (AZ)the kingdom of God and his righteousness, (BA)and all these things will be added to you.
34 (BB)“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
