1Hoiduge aga, et te oma vagasid tegusid ei tee inimeste ees, et nemad teid vaataksid, muidu ei ole teil palka oma Isalt, kes on taevas!
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.
2Kui sa nüüd almuseid jagad, siis ära lase enese ees pasunat puhuda, nii nagu silmakirjatsejad teevad sünagoogides ja tänavatel, et inimesed neid ülistaksid. Tõesti, ma ütlen teile, neil on oma palk käes!
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.
3Sina aga, kui sa oma almust jagad, siis ärgu su vasak käsi teadku, mida su parem käsi teeb,
3 But when you do merciful deeds, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand does,
4et su almus oleks varjatud, ja su Isa, kes näeb varjatutki, tasub sulle!
4 so that your merciful deeds may be in secret, then your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
5Ja kui te palvetate, siis ärge olge nagu silmakirjatsejad, sest nemad armastavad palvetada sünagoogides ja tänavanurkadel, et olla inimestele nähtavad! Tõesti, ma ütlen teile, neil on oma palk käes!
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.
6Aga sina, kui sa palvetad, siis mine oma kambrisse ja lukusta uks, palveta oma Isa poole, kes on varjatud, ja su Isa, kes näeb varjatutki, tasub sulle!
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.
7Palvetades ärge lobisege nii nagu paganad, sest nemad arvavad, et neid võetakse kuulda nende sõnaohtruse tõttu.
7 In praying, don’t use vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking.
8Ärge siis saage nende sarnaseks, sest teie Isa teab, mida teile vaja läheb, enne kui te teda palute!
8 Therefore don’t be like them, for your Father knows what things you need, before you ask him.
9Teie palvetage siis nõnda: Meie Isa, kes sa oled taevas! Pühitsetud olgu sinu nimi!
9 Pray like this: ‘Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.
10Sinu riik tulgu, sinu tahtmine sündigu nagu taevas, nõnda ka maa peal!
10 Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done, as in heaven, so on earth.
11Meie igapäevast leiba anna meile tänapäev!
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12Ja anna meile andeks meie võlad, nagu meiegi andeks anname oma võlglastele!
12 Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.
13Ja ära saada meid kiusatusse, vaid päästa meid ära kurjast! [Sest sinu päralt on riik ja vägi ja au igavesti. Aamen.]
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.” ’
14Sest kui te annate inimestele andeks nende eksimused, siis annab ka teie taevane Isa teile andeks,
14 “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15kui te aga ei anna inimestele andeks, siis ei anna ka teie Isa teie eksimusi andeks.
15 But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
16Kui te aga paastute, siis ärge olge kurvanäolised nagu silmakirjatsejad, sest nemad teevad oma palge näotuks, et näidata inimestele oma paastumist. Tõesti, ma ütlen teile, neil on oma palk käes!
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.
17Aga sina, kui sa oled paastumas, siis võia oma pead ja pese oma nägu,
17 But you, when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your face;
18et su paastumine ei oleks näha inimestele, vaid su Isale, kes on varjatud, ja sinu Isa, kes näeb varjatutki, tasub sulle!
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.
19Ärge koguge endile aardeid maa peale, kus koi ja rooste neid rikuvad ja kuhu vargad sisse murravad ja varastavad!
19 “Don’t lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal;
20Koguge endile aardeid taevasse, kus koi ega rooste neid ei riku ja kuhu vargad sisse ei murra ega varasta!
20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves don’t break through and steal;
21Sest kus su aare on, seal on ka su süda.
21 for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
22Silm on ihu lamp. Kui su silm on selge, siis on kogu su ihu valgust täis.
22 “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light.
23Kui su silm on aga vigane, on kogu su ihu pimedust täis. Kui nüüd valgus sinu sees on pime, kui suur on siis pimedus?
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!
24Keegi ei saa teenida kahte isandat, ikka on nii, et ta vihkab üht ja armastab teist või et ta pooldab üht ja põlgab teist. Teie ei saa teenida nii Jumalat kui mammonat.
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.
25Seepärast ma ütlen teile: Ärge muretsege oma hinge pärast, mida süüa, ega oma ihu pärast, millega riietuda! Eks hing ole enam kui toidus ja ihu enam kui rõivas?
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?
26Pange tähele taeva linde: nad ei külva ega lõika ega kogu aitadesse, ning teie taevane Isa toidab neid. Eks teie ole palju enam väärt kui nemad?
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?
27Aga kes teie seast suudab muretsemisega oma elule ühe küünragi juurde lisada?
27 “Which of you, by being anxious, can add one moment literally, cubit to his lifespan?
28Ja rõivastuse pärast, mis te muretsete? Pange tähele lilli väljal, kuidas nad kasvavad: ei näe nad vaeva ega ketra,
28 Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin,
29aga ma ütlen teile, et isegi Saalomon kogu oma hiilguses ei olnud nõnda ehitud nagu igaüks neist.
29 yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these.
30Kui aga Jumal nõnda rüütab väljal rohtu, mis täna on ja homme visatakse ahju, eks siis veelgi enam teid, te nõdrausulised!
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?
31Ärge siis hakake muretsema, öeldes: 'Mis me sööme?' või 'Mis me joome?' või 'Millega me riietume?'
31 “Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’
32Sest kõike seda taotlevad paganad. Teie taevane Isa teab ju, et te seda kõike vajate.
32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
33Aga otsige esmalt Jumala riiki ja tema õigust, siis seda kõike antakse teile pealegi!
33 But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.
34Ärge siis hakake muretsema homse pärast, sest küll homne päev muretseb ise enese eest! Igale päevale piisab oma vaevast.
34 Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient.
