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

¹ “Be careful that you don’t do your charitable giving before men, to be seen by them, or else you have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.

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

² Therefore when you do merciful deeds, don’t sound a trumpet before yourself, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may get glory from men. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward.

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

³ But when you do merciful deeds, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand does,

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

⁴ so that your merciful deeds may be in secret, then your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

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

⁵ “When you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Most certainly, I tell you, they have received their reward.

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

⁶ But you, when you pray, enter into your inner room, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

⁸ስለዚህ አትምሰሉአቸው፤ ሳትለምኑት አባታችሁ የሚያስፈልጋችሁን ያውቃልና።

⁷ In praying, don’t use vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking.

⁹እንግዲህ እናንተስ እንዲህ ጸልዩ። በሰማያት የምትኖር አባታችን ሆይ፥

⁸ Therefore don’t be like them, for your Father knows what things you need, before you ask him.

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

⁹ Pray like this: ‘Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.

¹¹የዕለት እንጀራችንን ዛሬ ስጠን፤

¹⁰ Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done, as in heaven, so on earth.

¹²እኛም ደግሞ የበደሉንን ይቅር እንደምንል በደላችንን ይቅር በለን፤

¹¹ Give us today our daily bread.

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

¹² Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.

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

¹³ Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen. NU omits “For yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen.” ’

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

¹⁴ “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

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

¹⁵ But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

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

¹⁶ “Moreover when you fast, don’t be like the hypocrites, with sad faces. For they disfigure their faces, that they may be seen by men to be fasting. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward.

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

¹⁷ But you, when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your face;

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

¹⁸ so that you are not seen by men to be fasting, but by your Father who is in secret, and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.

²¹መዝገብህ ባለበት ልብህ ደግሞ በዚያ ይሆናልና።

¹⁹ “Don’t lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal;

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

²⁰ but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves don’t break through and steal;

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

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

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

²² “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light.

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

²³ But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!

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

²⁴ “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can’t serve both God and Mammon.

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

²⁵ Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

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

²⁶ See the birds of the sky, that they don’t sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you of much more value than they?

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

²⁷ “Which of you, by being anxious, can add one moment literally, cubit to his lifespan?

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

²⁸ Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin,

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

²⁹ yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these.

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

³⁰ But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, won’t he much more clothe you, you of little faith?

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

³¹ “Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’

³⁴ነገ ለራሱ ይጨነቃልና ለነገ አትጨነቁ፤ ለቀኑ ክፋቱ ይበቃዋል።

³² For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

³³ But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.

³⁴ Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient.
