¹`Take heed your kindness not to do before men, to be seen by them, and if not — reward ye have not from your Father who [is] in the heavens;

¹ለሰዎች ትታዩ ዘንድ ምጽዋታችሁን በፊታቸው እንዳታደርጉ ተጠንቀቁ፤ ያለዚያ በሰማያት ባለው አባታችሁ ዘንድ ዋጋ የላችሁም።

²whenever, therefore, thou mayest do kindness, thou mayest 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!

²እንግዲህ ምጽዋት ስታደርግ፥ ግብዞች በሰው ዘንድ ሊከበሩ በምኩራብ በመንገድም እንደሚያደርጉ በፊትህ መለከት አታስነፋ፤ እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ዋጋቸውን ተቀብለዋል።

³`But thou, doing kindness, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doth,

³አንተ ግን ምጽዋት ስታደርግ ምጽዋትህ በስውር እንዲሆን ቀኝህ የምትሠራውን ግራህ አትወቅ፤ በስውር የሚያይ አባትህም በግልጥ ይከፍልሃል።

⁴that thy kindness may be in secret, and thy Father who is seeing in secret Himself shall reward thee manifestly.

⁵ስትጸልዩም እንደ ግብዞች አትሁኑ፤ ለሰው ይታዩ ዘንድ በምኩራብና በመንገድ ማዕዘን ቆመው መጸለይን ይወዳሉና፤ እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ዋጋቸውን ተቀብለዋል።

⁵`And when thou mayest pray, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites, because they love in the synagogues, and in the corners of the broad places — standing — to pray, that they may be seen of men; verily I say to you, that they have their reward.

⁶አንተ ግን ስትጸልይ፥ ወደ እልፍኝህ ግባ መዝጊያህንም ዘግተህ በስውር ላለው አባትህ ጸልይ፤ በስውር የሚያይ አባትህም በግልጥ ይከፍልሃል።

⁶`But thou, when thou mayest pray, go into thy chamber, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father who [is] in secret, and thy Father who is seeing in secret, shall reward thee manifestly.

⁷አሕዛብም በመናገራቸው ብዛት እንዲሰሙ ይመስላቸዋልና ስትጸልዩ እንደ እነርሱ በከንቱ አትድገሙ።

⁷`And — praying — ye may not use vain repetitions like the nations, for they think that in their much speaking they shall be heard,

⁸ስለዚህ አትምሰሉአቸው፤ ሳትለምኑት አባታችሁ የሚያስፈልጋችሁን ያውቃልና።

⁸be ye not therefore like to them, for your Father doth know those things that ye have need of before your asking him;

⁹እንግዲህ እናንተስ እንዲህ ጸልዩ። በሰማያት የምትኖር አባታችን ሆይ፥

⁹thus therefore pray ye: `Our Father who [art] in the heavens! hallowed be Thy name.

¹⁰ስምህ ይቀደስ፤ መንግሥትህ ትምጣ፤ ፈቃድህ በሰማይ እንደ ሆነች እንዲሁ በምድር ትሁን፤

¹⁰`Thy reign come: Thy will come to pass, as in heaven also on the earth.

¹¹የዕለት እንጀራችንን ዛሬ ስጠን፤

¹¹`Our appointed bread give us to-day.

¹²እኛም ደግሞ የበደሉንን ይቅር እንደምንል በደላችንን ይቅር በለን፤

¹²`And forgive us our debts, as also we forgive our debtors.

¹³ከክፉም አድነን እንጂ ወደ ፈተና አታግባን፤ መንግሥት ያንተ ናትና ኃይልም ክብርም ለዘለዓለሙ፤ አሜን።

¹³`And mayest Thou not lead us to temptation, but deliver us from the evil, because Thine is the reign, and the power, and the glory — to the ages. Amen.

¹⁴ለሰዎች ኃጢአታቸውን ይቅር ብትሉ፥ የሰማዩ አባታችሁ እናንተን ደግሞ ይቅር ይላችኋልና፤

¹⁴`For, if ye may forgive men their trespasses He also will forgive you — your Father who [is] in the heavens;

¹⁵ለሰዎች ግን ኃጢአታቸውን ይቅር ባትሉ፥ አባታችሁም ኃጢአታችሁን ይቅር አይላችሁም።

¹⁵but if ye may not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

¹⁶ስትጦሙም፥ እንደ ግብዞች አትጠውልጉ፤ ለሰዎች እንደ ጦመኛ ሊታዩ ፊታቸውን ያጠፋሉና፤ እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ዋጋቸውን ተቀብለዋል።

¹⁶`And when ye may fast, be ye not as the hypocrites, of sour countenances, for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear to men fasting; verily I say to you, that they have their reward.

¹⁷አንተ ግን ስትጦም፥ በስውር ላለው አባትህ እንጂ እንደ ጦመኛ ለሰዎች እንዳትታይ ራስህን ተቀባ ፊትህንም ታጠብ፤ በስውር የሚያይ አባትህም በግልጥ ይከፍልሃል።

¹⁷`But thou, fasting, anoint thy head, and wash thy face,

¹⁹ብልና ዝገት በሚያጠፉት ሌቦችም ቆፍረው በሚሠርቁት ዘንድ ለእናንተ በምድር ላይ መዝገብ አትሰብስቡ፤

¹⁸that thou mayest not appear to men fasting, but to thy Father who [is] in secret, and thy Father, who is seeing in secret, shall reward thee manifestly.

²⁰ነገር ግን ብልም ዝገትም በማያጠፉት ሌቦችም ቆፍረው በማይሠርቁት ዘንድ ለእናንተ በሰማይ መዝገብ ሰብስቡ፤

¹⁹`Treasure not up to yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust disfigure, and where thieves break through and steal,

²¹መዝገብህ ባለበት ልብህ ደግሞ በዚያ ይሆናልና።

²⁰but treasure up to yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth disfigure, and where thieves do not break through nor steal,

²²የሰውነት መብራት ዓይን ናት። ዓይንህ እንግዲህ ጤናማ ብትሆን፥ ሰውነትህ ሁሉ ብሩህ ይሆናል፤

²¹for where your treasure is, there will be also your heart.

²³ዓይንህ ግን ታማሚ ብትሆን፥ ሰውነትህ ሁሉ የጨለመ ይሆናል። እንግዲህ በአንተ ያለው ብርሃን ጨለማ ከሆነ፥ ጨለማውስ እንዴት ይበረታ!

²²`The lamp of the body is the eye, if, therefore, thine eye may be perfect, all thy body shall be enlightened,

²⁴ለሁለት ጌቶች መገዛት የሚቻለው ማንም የለም፤ ወይም አንዱን ይጠላል ሁለተኛውንም ይወዳል፤ ወይም ወደ አንዱ ይጠጋል ሁለተኛውንም ይንቃል፤ ለእግዚአብሔርና ለገንዘብ መገዛት አትችሉም።

²³but if thine eye may be evil, all thy body shall be dark; if, therefore, the light that [is] in thee is darkness — the darkness, how great!

²⁵ስለዚህ እላችኋለሁ፥ ስለ ነፍሳችሁ በምትበሉትና በምትጠጡት፥ ወይም ስለ ሰውነታችሁ በምትለብሱት አትጨነቁ፤ ነፍስ ከመብል ሰውነትም ከልብስ አይበልጥምን?

²⁴`None is able to serve two lords, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to the one, and despise the other; ye are not able to serve God and Mammon.

²⁶ወደ ሰማይ ወፎች ተመልከቱ፤ አይዘሩም አያጭዱምም በጎተራም አይከቱም፥ የሰማዩ አባታችሁም ይመግባቸዋል፤ እናንተ ከእነርሱ እጅግ አትበልጡምን?

²⁵`Because of this I say to you, be not anxious for your life, what ye may eat, and what ye may drink, nor for your body, what ye may put on. Is not the life more than the nourishment, and the body than the clothing?

²⁷ከእናንተ ተጨንቆ በቁመቱ ላይ አንድ ክንድ መጨመር የሚችል ማን ነው?

²⁶look to the fowls of the heaven, for they do not sow, nor reap, nor gather into storehouses, and your heavenly Father doth nourish them; are not ye much better than they?

²⁸ስለ ልብስስ ስለ ምን ትጨነቃላችሁ? የሜዳ አበቦች እንዴት እንዲያድጉ ልብ አድርጋችሁ ተመልከቱ፤

²⁷`And who of you, being anxious, is able to add to his age one cubit?

²⁹አይደክሙም አይፈትሉምም፤ ነገር ግን እላችኋለሁ፥ ሰሎሞንስ እንኳ በክብሩ ሁሉ ከነዚህ እንደ አንዱ አልለበሰም።

²⁸and about clothing why are ye anxious? consider well the lilies of the field; how do they grow? they do not labour, nor do they spin;

³⁰እግዚአብሔር ግን ዛሬ ያለውን ነገም ወደ እቶን የሚጣለውን የሜዳን ሣር እንዲህ የሚያለብሰው ከሆነ፥ እናንተ እምነት የጎደላችሁ፥ እናንተንማ ይልቁን እንዴት?

²⁹and I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these.

³¹እንግዲህ። ምን እንበላለን? ምንስ እንጠጣለን? ምንስ እንለብሳለን? ብላችሁ አትጨነቁ፤

³⁰`And if the herb of the field, that to-day is, and to-morrow is cast to the furnace, God doth so clothe — not much more you, O ye of little faith?

³²ይህንስ ሁሉ አሕዛብ ይፈልጋሉ፤ ይህ ሁሉ እንዲያስፈልጋችሁ የሰማዩ አባታችሁ ያውቃልና።

³¹therefore ye may not be anxious, saying, What may we eat? or, What may we drink? or, What may we put round?

³³ነገር ግን አስቀድማችሁ የእግዚአብሔርን መንግሥት ጽድቁንም ፈልጉ፥ ይህም ሁሉ ይጨመርላችኋል።

³²for all these do the nations seek for, for your heavenly Father doth know that ye have need of all these;

³⁴ነገ ለራሱ ይጨነቃልና ለነገ አትጨነቁ፤ ለቀኑ ክፋቱ ይበቃዋል።

³³but seek ye first the reign of God and His righteousness, and all these shall be added to you.

³⁴Be not therefore anxious for the morrow, for the morrow shall be anxious for its own things; sufficient for the day [is] the evil of it.
