¹Take heed not to do your alms before men to be seen of them, otherwise ye have no reward with your Father who is in the heavens.

¹Tandremo mba tsy hanao ny asan'ny fahamarinanareo eo imason'ny olona hahitany izany; Fa raha tsy izany, dia tsy manana valim-pitia amin'ny Rainareo Izay any an-danitra ianareo.[Na: ny fiantrana]

²When therefore thou doest alms, sound not a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may have glory from men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

²Koa amin'izany, raha manao fiantrana ianao, aza mba mitsoka trompetra eo aloanao tahaka ny fanaon'ny mpihatsaravelatsihy eo amin'ny synagoga sy eny an-dalambe mba hankalazan'ny olona azy. Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa fa efa azony ny valim-pitiany.

³But thou, when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand does;

³Fa ianao kosa, raha manao fiantrana, dia aoka tsy ho fantatry ny tananao ankavia izay ataon'ny tananao ankavanana,

⁴so that thine alms may be in secret, and thy Father who sees in secret will render [it] to thee.

⁴mba hatao ao amin'ny mangingina ny fiantranao; ary ny Rainao, Izay mahita ao amin'ny mangingina, no hamaly anao.

⁵And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites; for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets so that they should appear to men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

⁵Ary raha mivavaka ianareo, aza mba ho tahaka ny mpihatsaravelatsihy; Fa izy tia ny mivavaka mitsangana eo amin'ny synagoga sy eo an-joron-dalana hahitan'ny olona azy. Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa fa efa azony ny valim-pitiany.

⁶But *thou*, when thou prayest, enter into thy chamber, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret, and thy Father who sees in secret will render [it] to thee.

⁶Fa ianao kosa, raha mivavaka, dia midìra ao amin'ny efi-tranonao, ka rehefa voarindrinao ny varavaranao, dia mivavaha amin'ny Rainao, Izay ao amin'ny mangingina; ary ny Rainao, Izay mahita ao amin'ny mangingina no hamaly anao.

⁷But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as those who are of the nations: for they think they shall be heard through their much speaking.

⁷Ary raha mivavaka ianareo, dia aza mba manao teny maro foana tahaka ny jentilisa; Fa ataony ho ny hamaroan'ny teniny no hihainoana azy.

⁸Be not ye therefore like them, for your Father knows of what things ye have need before ye beg [anything] of him.

⁸Koa aza manahaka azy ianareo; fa fantatry ny Rainareo izay tokony ho anareo, raha tsy mbola mangataka aminy aza ianareo.

⁹Thus therefore pray *ye*: Our Father who art in the heavens, let thy name be sanctified,

⁹Koa amin'izany mivavaha toy izao ianareo: Rainay Izay any an-danitra, hohamasinina anie ny anaranao.

¹⁰let thy kingdom come, let thy will be done as in heaven so upon the earth;

¹⁰Ho tonga anie ny fanjakanao. Hatao anie ny sitraponao etỳ an-tany tahaka ny any an-danitra.

¹¹give us to-day our needed bread,

¹¹Omeo anay anio izay hanina sahaza ho anay.

¹²and forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors,

¹²Ary mamelà ny helokay tahaka ny namelanay izay meloka taminay. [Na: trosa] [Na:nitrosa]

¹³and lead us not into temptation, but save us from evil.

¹³Ary aza mitondra anay ho amin'ny fakam-panahy, fa manafaha anay amin'ny ratsy. [Na: amin'ilay] [ Ampio hoe: Fa Anao ny fanjakana sy ny hery ary ny voninahitra mandrakizay. Amena]

¹⁴For if ye forgive men their offences, your heavenly Father also will forgive you [yours],

¹⁴Fa raha mamela ny fahadisoan'ny olona ianareo, dia mba hamela ny anareo kosa ny Rainareo Izay any an-danitra.

¹⁵but if ye do not forgive men their offences, neither will your Father forgive your offences.

¹⁵Fa raha tsy mamela ny fahadisoan'ny olona ianareo, dia tsy hamela ny fahadisoanareo ny Rainareo.

¹⁶And when ye fast, be not as the hypocrites, downcast in countenance; for they disfigure their faces, so that they may appear fasting to men: verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

¹⁶Ary raha mifady hanina ianareo, aza mety ho tahaka ny mpihatsaravelatsihy, izay malahelo tarehy; fa mampisotisoty ny tavany izy mba ho hitan'ny olona fa mifady. Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa fa efa azony ny valim-pitiany.

¹⁷But *thou*, [when] fasting, anoint thy head and wash thy face,

¹⁷Fa ianao kosa, raha mifady hanina, dia hosory ny lohanao, ary sasao ny tavanao,

¹⁸so that thou mayest not appear fasting unto men, but to thy Father who is in secret; and thy Father who sees in secret shall render [it] to thee.

¹⁸mba tsy ho hitan'ny olona fa mifady, fa ho hitan'ny Rainao, Izay ao amin'ny mangingina; ary ny Rainao, Izay mahita ao amin'ny mangingina, no hamaly anao.

¹⁹Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust spoils, and where thieves dig through and steal;

¹⁹Aza mihary harena ho anareo eto an-tany, izay misy kalalao sy harafesina manimba, sady misy mpangalatra manami-trano sy mangalatra.

²⁰but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust spoils, and where thieves do not dig through nor steal;

²⁰Fa miharia harena ho anareo any an-danitra, izay tsy misy kalalao na harafesina manimba, sady tsy misy mpangalatra manamitrano na mangalatra.

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

²¹Fa izay itoeran'ny harenao, dia ho any koa ny fonao.

²²The lamp of the body is the eye; if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body will be light:

²²Ny maso no jiron'ny tena; koa amin'izany, raha tsara ny masonao, dia hazava avokoa ny tenanao rehetra.

²³but if thine eye be wicked, thy whole body will be dark. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great the darkness!

²³Fa raha ratsy ny masonao, dia ho maizina avokoa ny tenanao rehetra; koa raha maizina ny fahazavana ao anatinao, manao ahoana ny halehiben'izany fahamaizinana izany!

²⁴No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and will love the other, or he will hold to the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

²⁴Tsy misy olona mahay manompo tompo roa; fa ny anankiray ho halany, ary ny anankiray ho tiany; na ny anankiray hombany, ary ny anankiray hohamavoiny. Tsy mahay manompo an'Andriamanitra sy Mamôna ianareo.[Mamôna = harena]

²⁵For this cause I say unto you, Do not be careful about your life, what ye should eat and what ye should drink; nor for your body what ye should put on. Is not the life more than food, and the body than raiment?

²⁵Ary noho izany dia lazaiko aminareo hoe: Aza manahy ny amin'ny ainareo, dia izay hohaninareo na izay hosotroinareo, na ny amin'ny tenanareo, dia izay hotafinareo. Moa ny aina tsy mihoatra noho ny hanina va, ary ny tena noho ny fitafiana?

²⁶Look at the birds of the heaven, that they sow not, nor reap, nor gather into granaries, and your heavenly Father nourishes them. Are *ye* not much more excellent than they?

²⁶Tsinjovy ny voro-manidina, fa tsy mba mamafy, na mijinja, na mitaona ho any an-tsompitra ireny; ary ny Rainareo Izay any an-danitra mamelona azy. Moa tsy mihoatra lavitra noho ireny va ianareo?

²⁷But which of you by carefulness can add to his growth one cubit?

²⁷Ary iza ao aminareo, na dia manahy aza, no mahay manampy ny andro hiainany na dia kely monja aza? [ Na: Ny halavan'ny tenany] [ Gr. Hakiho iray]

²⁸And why are ye careful about clothing? Observe with attention the lilies of the field, how they grow: they toil not, neither do they spin;

²⁸Ary nahoana no manahy ny amin'ny fitafiana ianareo? Diniho tsara ny fanirin'ny voninkazo any an-tsaha; tsy mba miasa na mamoly ireny;[Karazan'ny lilia]

²⁹but I say unto you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed as one of these.

²⁹nefa lazaiko aminareo fa na dia Solomona tao amin'ny voninahiny rehetra aza tsy mba nitafy tahaka ny anankiray amin'ireny.

³⁰But if God so clothe the herbage of the field, which is to-day, and to-morrow is cast into [the] oven, will he not much rather you, O [ye] of little faith?

³⁰Ary raha ny ahitra any an-tsaha, izay any ihany anio ka hatsipy ao am-patana rahampitso, no ampitafin'Andriamanitra toy izany, tsy mainka va ianareo, ry kely finoana?

³¹Be not therefore careful, saying, What shall we eat? or What shall we drink? or What shall we put on?

³¹Dia aza manahy ianareo ka manao hoe: Inona no hohaninay? na: Inona no hosotroinay? na: Inona no hotafinay?

³²for all these things the nations seek after; for your heavenly Father knows that ye have need of all these things.

³²Fa izany rehetra izany dia katsahin'ny jentilisa fatratra; fa fantatry ny Rainareo Izay any an-danitra fa tokony ho anareo izany rehetra izany.

³³But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.

³³Fa katsaho aloha ny fanjakany sy ny fahamarinany, dia hanampy ho anareo izany rehetra izany.Ary amin'izany dia aza manahy ny amin'ny ampitso ianareo; fa ny ampitso hanahy ny azy. Ampy ho an'ny andro ny ratsy miseho ao aminy.

³⁴Be not careful therefore for the morrow, for the morrow shall be careful about itself. Sufficient to the day [is] its own evil.

³⁴Ary amin'izany dia aza manahy ny amin'ny ampitso ianareo; fa ny ampitso hanahy ny azy. Ampy ho an'ny andro ny ratsy miseho ao aminy.
