King James Version with Apocrypha
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
1Attendite ne justitiam vestram faciatis coram hominibus, ut videamini ab eis: alioquin mercedem non habebitis apud Patrem vestrum qui in cælis est.
2Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
2Cum ergo facis eleemosynam, noli tuba canere ante te, sicut hypocritæ faciunt in synagogis, et in vicis, ut honorificentur ab hominibus. Amen dico vobis, receperunt mercedem suam.
3But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
3Te autem faciente eleemosynam, nesciat sinistra tua quid faciat dextera tua:
4That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
4ut sit eleemosyna tua in abscondito, et Pater tuus, qui videt in abscondito, reddet tibi.
5¶ And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are : for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
5Et cum oratis, non eritis sicut hypocritæ qui amant in synagogis et in angulis platearum stantes orare, ut videantur ab hominibus: amen dico vobis, receperunt mercedem suam.
6But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
6Tu autem cum oraveris, intra in cubiculum tuum, et clauso ostio, ora Patrem tuum in abscondito: et Pater tuus, qui videt in abscondito, reddet tibi.
7But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do : for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
7Orantes autem, nolite multum loqui, sicut ethnici, putant enim quod in multiloquio suo exaudiantur.
8Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
8Nolite ergo assimilari eis: scit enim Pater vester, quid opus sit vobis, antequam petatis eum.
9After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
9Sic ergo vos orabitis: [Pater noster, qui es in cælis, sanctificetur nomen tuum.
10Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
10Adveniat regnum tuum; fiat voluntas tua, sicut in cælo et in terra.
11Give us this day our daily bread.
11Panem nostrum supersubstantialem da nobis hodie,
12And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
12et dimitte nobis debita nostra, sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris.
13And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
13Et ne nos inducas in tentationem, sed libera nos a malo. Amen.]
14For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
14Si enim dimiseritis hominibus peccata eorum: dimittet et vobis Pater vester cælestis delicta vestra.
15But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
15Si autem non dimiseritis hominibus: nec Pater vester dimittet vobis peccata vestra.
16¶ Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
16Cum autem jejunatis, nolite fieri sicut hypocritæ, tristes. Exterminant enim facies suas, ut appareant hominibus jejunantes. Amen dico vobis, quia receperunt mercedem suam.
17But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;
17Tu autem, cum jejunas, unge caput tuum, et faciem tuam lava,
18That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
18ne videaris hominibus jejunans, sed Patri tuo, qui est in abscondito: et Pater tuus, qui videt in abscondito, reddet tibi.
19¶ Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
19Nolite thesaurizare vobis thesauros in terra: ubi ærugo, et tinea demolitur: et ubi fures effodiunt, et furantur.
20But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
20Thesaurizate autem vobis thesauros in cælo, ubi neque ærugo, neque tinea demolitur, et ubi fures non effodiunt, nec furantur.
21For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
21Ubi enim est thesaurus tuus, ibi est et cor tuum.
22The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
22Lucerna corporis tui est oculus tuus. Si oculus tuus fuerit simplex, totum corpus tuum lucidum erit.
23But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
23Si autem oculus tuus fuerit nequam, totum corpus tuum tenebrosum erit. Si ergo lumen, quod in te est, tenebræ sunt: ipsæ tenebræ quantæ erunt?
24¶ No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
24Nemo potest duobus dominis servire: aut enim unum odio habebit, et alterum diliget: aut unum sustinebit, et alterum contemnet. Non potestis Deo servire et mammonæ.
25Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
25Ideo dico vobis, ne solliciti sitis animæ vestræ quid manducetis, neque corpori vestro quid induamini. Nonne anima plus est quam esca, et corpus plus quam vestimentum?
26Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
26Respicite volatilia cæli, quoniam non serunt, neque metunt, neque congregant in horrea: et Pater vester cælestis pascit illa. Nonne vos magis pluris estis illis?
27Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
27Quis autem vestrum cogitans potest adjicere ad staturam suam cubitum unum?
28And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
28Et de vestimento quid solliciti estis? Considerate lilia agri quomodo crescunt: non laborant, neque nent.
29And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
29Dico autem vobis, quoniam nec Salomon in omni gloria sua coopertus est sicut unum ex istis.
30Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
30Si autem fœnum agri, quod hodie est, et cras in clibanum mittitur, Deus sic vestit, quanto magis vos modicæ fidei?
31Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
31Nolite ergo solliciti esse, dicentes: Quid manducabimus, aut quid bibemus, aut quo operiemur?
32(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
32hæc enim omnia gentes inquirunt. Scit enim Pater vester, quia his omnibus indigetis.
33But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
33Quærite ergo primum regnum Dei, et justitiam ejus: et hæc omnia adjicientur vobis.
34Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
34Nolite ergo solliciti esse in crastinum. Crastinus enim dies sollicitus erit sibi ipsi: sufficit diei malitia sua.
