Mathai 6
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Berean Standard Bible
1Kaminawk mah hnuk hanah, kaminawk hmaa ah tahmenhaih hoi paek ih hmuen to sak han ai ah acoe oh: to tiah na sak o nahaeloe, van ah kaom nangcae ampa khae hoi tangqum na hnu o mak ai.
1“Be careful not to perform your righteous acts before men to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
2To pongah tahmenhaih hoiah hmuen to na paek o naah, minawk mah pakoeh hanah, angsah thaih kaminawk mah, Sineko hoi lamkrung ah sak o ih baktih toengah, nangmah hma ah mongkah baktiah ueng hmah. Loktang kang thuih o, Nihcae loe angmacae ih tangqum to hnuk o boeh.
2So when you give to the needy, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward.
3Toe nangcae mah hmuen na paek o naah, na bantang ban mah sak ih hmuen to banqoi ban mah panoek hmah nasoe:
3But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
4to tiah ni na paek o ih hmuen to tamquta ah om ueloe, tamquta hoi khenkung nangcae ampa mah kamtuengah tangqum to na paek o tih.
4so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
5Lawk na thuih o naah, angsah thaih kaminawk baktiah om o hmah: nihcae loe minawk mah hnuk hanah, Sineko hoi lamkrung ah angdoet o moe, lawkthuih han a koeh o. Loktang kang thuih o, Nihcae loe angmacae ih tangqum to hnuk o boeh.
5And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward.
6Toe nangcae mah lawk na thuih o naah, imthung ah akun oh, thok to kha oh loe, tamquta hoi kaom nangcae ampa khaeah lawkthui oh; to tiah ni tamquta hoi khenkung nangcae ampa mah kamtuengah tangqum to na paek o tih.
6But when you pray, go into your inner room, shut your door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
7Nangcae mah lawkthuih naah, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk baktiah, thui kok ih lok to thui o let hmah: nihcae loe kapop ah lawkthuih naah ni nihcae mah thuih ih lok to thaih pae tih, tiah a poek o.
7And when you pray, do not babble on like pagans, for they think that by their many words they will be heard.
8Nangcae loe nihcae baktiah om o hmah: nangcae mah na hnih o ai naah, nang toeng o ih hmuen to nam Pa mah panoek boeh.
8Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.
9To pongah nangcae mah hae tiah lawkthui oh, tiah a naa: Van ah kaom kaicae Ampa, na hmin saiqathaih om nasoe.
9So then, this is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.
10Na prae to angzo lai nasoe, van ih baktiah, na koehhaih, long nuiah sah lai nasoe.
10Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
11Ni thokkruek caaknaek khawt na paek ah.
11Give us this day our daily bread.
12Kaicae khae laiba tawn kaminawk ka tahmen o baktih toengah, kaicae ih laiba to tahmen ah.
12And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13Pacuekhaih thungah na caeh haih hmah loe, kasae thung hoi na loisak ah: na prae loe, thacakhaih, lensawkhaih hoi dungzan ah om poe nasoe, Amen.
13And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’
14Minawk zaehaih na tahmen o nahaeloe, van ah kaom nam pa mah doeh nangcae zaehaih to tahmen toeng tih:
14For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15toe minawk zaehaih na tahmen o ai nahaeloe, nam pa mah doeh nangcae zaehaih to tahmen mak ai. Sithaw hmaa ah buhzaa ah
15But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive yours.
16Nangcae mah buh na zah o naah, angsah thaih kaminawk baktiah, palungsethaih mikhmai to amtueng o sak hmah: nihcae loe minawk mah buhzah tiah panoek hanah, minawk hma ah mikhmai sae to amtueng o sak. Loktang kang thuih o, nihcae loe angmacae ih tangqum to hnuk o boeh.
16When you fast, do not be somber like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces to show men they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward.
17Toe nangcae mah buh na zah o naah, ungsi to angnok oh loe, mikhmai to pathlak oh;
17But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,
18nangcae loe kaminawk hma ah buh na zaa o ai, tamquta ah kaom nangcae ampa hmaa ah ni buh na zah o: to tiah ni tamquta hoi khenkung, nangcae ampa mah kamtuengah tangqum to na paek o tih.
18so that your fasting will not be obvious to men, but only to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
19Karaa hoi aek mah caak thaih moe, kamqunawk mah doeh pakhoih moe, paquk thaih ih, hae long nuiah hmuen to patung o hmah:
19Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
20karaa hoi aek mah caa thai ai, kamqunawk mah doeh pakhoih moe, paquk thai ai ih, van prae ah hmuen to patung oh:
20But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
21hmuenmae ohhaih ahmuen ah ni, na palung doeh om toeng tih.
21For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
22Takpum ih hmaithaw loe mik hae ni: to pongah na mik to hoih nahaeloe, na takpum boih aang tih.
22The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light.
23Toe na mik to hoih ai nahaeloe, na takpum to ving boih tih. To pongah nangcae thung ih aanghaih to ving nahaeloe, to vinghaih loe kawkruk maw len!
23But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
24Mi mah doeh angraeng hnetto ih tok to sah hmaek thai ai: maeto hnuma ueloe, kalah maeto to palung tih; to tih ai boeh loe maeto patawn ueloe, kalah maeto loe prawt tih. Sithaw ih tok hoiah phoisa ih tok na sah hmaek thai mak ai.
24No one can serve two masters: 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 both God and money.
25To pongah kang thuih o, Timaw ka caak moe, timaw ka naek han tiah, hing hanah mawn o hmah; timaw kang khuk han tiah, na takpum han mawn o hmah. Hinghaih loe caaknaek pongah lokpui kue moe, takpum doeh khukbuen pongah lokpui kue na ai maw?
25Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?
26Van ih tavaanawk ho khen oh: nihcae loe cang tuh o ai, cang doeh aat o ai, tapup thungah doeh patung o ai; toe van ah kaom nangcae ampa mah nihcae to pacah: nangcae loe nihcae pongah na hoih o kue na ai maw?
26Look at the birds of the air: They do not sow or reap or gather into barns—and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
27Mawnhaih rang hoiah nangcae thung ih mi mah maw a sanghaih to dongto thap thaih?
27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
28Tipongah angkhuk hanah na mawnh o loe? Lawk ih lili pawknawk loe toksah o ai, pathlah doeh kae o ai; toe kawbangah maw qoeng o tahang, tito khen oh:
28And why do you worry about clothes? Consider how the lilies of the field grow: They do not labor or spin.
29toe kang thuih o, Solomon mah mataeng doeh, hae ih apawknawk baktiah a lensawkhaih boih hoiah amthoep ai.
29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.
30To baktih toengah, vaihniah hing moe, khawnbangah hmai thungah vah han koi lawk ih phroh mataeng doeh, Sithaw mah khenzawn nahaeloe, Aw tanghaih tamsi kaminawk, anih mah loe nangcae to kamtlai ah na khenzawn o mak ai maw?
30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31To pongah timaw ka caak o moe, timaw ka naek o han? To tih ai boeh loe, timaw kang khuk o han, tito mawn o hmah.
31Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
32(Gentel kaminawk mah ni hae baktih hmuennawk hae pakrong o;) hae baktih hmuennawk nang toeng o, tito van ah kaom nangcae ampa mah panoek.
32For the Gentiles strive after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
33Sithaw prae hoi a toenghaih to pakrong o hmaloe ah; to pacoengah hae hmuennawk boih hae na paek o tih.
33But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.
34To pongah khawnbang hanah mawn o hmah: khawnbang mah angmah ih hmuennawk hanah kho poek tih. Vaihni raihaih loe vaihni hanah khawt boeh.
34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.
