Berean Standard Bible
1Attendite ne justitiam vestram faciatis coram hominibus, ut videamini ab eis: alioquin mercedem non habebitis apud Patrem vestrum qui in cælis est.
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.
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.
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.
3Te autem faciente eleemosynam, nesciat sinistra tua quid faciat dextera tua:
3But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
4ut sit eleemosyna tua in abscondito, et Pater tuus, qui videt in abscondito, reddet tibi.
4so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
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.
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.
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.
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.
7Orantes autem, nolite multum loqui, sicut ethnici, putant enim quod in multiloquio suo exaudiantur.
7And when you pray, do not babble on like pagans, for they think that by their many words they will be heard.
8Nolite ergo assimilari eis: scit enim Pater vester, quid opus sit vobis, antequam petatis eum.
8Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.
9Sic ergo vos orabitis: [Pater noster, qui es in cælis, sanctificetur nomen tuum.
9So then, this is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.
10Adveniat regnum tuum; fiat voluntas tua, sicut in cælo et in terra.
10Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
11Panem nostrum supersubstantialem da nobis hodie,
11Give us this day our daily bread.
12et dimitte nobis debita nostra, sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris.
12And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13Et ne nos inducas in tentationem, sed libera nos a malo. Amen.]
13And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’
14Si enim dimiseritis hominibus peccata eorum: dimittet et vobis Pater vester cælestis delicta vestra.
14For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15Si autem non dimiseritis hominibus: nec Pater vester dimittet vobis peccata vestra.
15But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive yours.
16Cum autem jejunatis, nolite fieri sicut hypocritæ, tristes. Exterminant enim facies suas, ut appareant hominibus jejunantes. Amen dico vobis, quia receperunt mercedem suam.
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.
17Tu autem, cum jejunas, unge caput tuum, et faciem tuam lava,
17But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,
18ne videaris hominibus jejunans, sed Patri tuo, qui est in abscondito: et Pater tuus, qui videt in abscondito, reddet tibi.
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.
19Nolite thesaurizare vobis thesauros in terra: ubi ærugo, et tinea demolitur: et ubi fures effodiunt, et furantur.
19Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
20Thesaurizate autem vobis thesauros in cælo, ubi neque ærugo, neque tinea demolitur, et ubi fures non effodiunt, nec furantur.
20But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
21Ubi enim est thesaurus tuus, ibi est et cor tuum.
21For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
22Lucerna corporis tui est oculus tuus. Si oculus tuus fuerit simplex, totum corpus tuum lucidum erit.
22The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light.
23Si autem oculus tuus fuerit nequam, totum corpus tuum tenebrosum erit. Si ergo lumen, quod in te est, tenebræ sunt: ipsæ tenebræ quantæ erunt?
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!
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.
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.
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?
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?
26Respicite volatilia cæli, quoniam non serunt, neque metunt, neque congregant in horrea: et Pater vester cælestis pascit illa. Nonne vos magis pluris estis illis?
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?
27Quis autem vestrum cogitans potest adjicere ad staturam suam cubitum unum?
27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
28Et de vestimento quid solliciti estis? Considerate lilia agri quomodo crescunt: non laborant, neque nent.
28And why do you worry about clothes? Consider how the lilies of the field grow: They do not labor or spin.
29Dico autem vobis, quoniam nec Salomon in omni gloria sua coopertus est sicut unum ex istis.
29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.
30Si autem fœnum agri, quod hodie est, et cras in clibanum mittitur, Deus sic vestit, quanto magis vos modicæ fidei?
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?
31Nolite ergo solliciti esse, dicentes: Quid manducabimus, aut quid bibemus, aut quo operiemur?
31Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
32hæc enim omnia gentes inquirunt. Scit enim Pater vester, quia his omnibus indigetis.
32For the Gentiles strive after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
33Quærite ergo primum regnum Dei, et justitiam ejus: et hæc omnia adjicientur vobis.
33But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.
34Nolite ergo solliciti esse in crastinum. Crastinus enim dies sollicitus erit sibi ipsi: sufficit diei malitia sua.
34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.
