1 K ia tupato kei mahi i ta koutou mea tika i te aroaro o nga tangata, hei tirohanga ma ratou: penei kahore he utu ki a koutou a to koutou Matua i te rangi.

“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.

2 N a, ka atawhai koe i te rawakore, aua e whakatangihia te tetere i mua i a koe, kei pera me te hunga tinihanga i roto i nga whare karakia, i nga ara, kia whai kororia ai i nga tangata. He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Kei a ratou ano te utu mo ratou.

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.

3 E rangi ka atawhaitia e koe te rawakore, kei mohio tou maui ki ta tou matau e mea ai;

But when you do merciful deeds, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand does,

4 K ia ngaro ai tau atawhainga rawakore: a ko tou Matua e kite nei i te wahi ngaro, mana koe e utu.

so that your merciful deeds may be in secret, then your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

5 A , ka inoi koe, kaua e pera me te hunga tinihanga; ko ta ratou hoki e pai ai ko te inoi tu i roto i nga whare karakia, i nga kokinga o nga ara, kia kitea ai e te tangata. He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Kei a ratou ano te utu mo ratou.

“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.

6 N a, ka inoi koe, tomo atu ki tou ruma i roto rawa, a, no ka kati tou tatau, inoi ki tou Matua i te wahi ngaro; a ko tou Matua e kite nei i te wahi ngaro, mana koe e utu.

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.

7 N a, ka inoi koutou, aua e whakahuatia noatia ko aua kupu ano, kei pera me nga tauiwi: ki ta ratou hoki ma nga kupu maha e rangona ai ratou.

In praying, don’t use vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking.

8 N a, kei rite koutou ki a ratou: e matau ana hoki to koutou Matua ki nga mea e matea ana e koutou, i te mea kiano koutou i inoi ki a ia.

Therefore don’t be like them, for your Father knows what things you need, before you ask him.

9 N a kia penei ta koutou inoi: E to matou Matua i te rangi, Kia tapu tou ingoa.

Pray like this: ‘Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.

10 K ia tae mai tou rangatiratanga. Kia meatia tau e pai ai ki runga ki te whenua, kia rite ano ki to te rangi.

Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done, as in heaven, so on earth.

11 H omai ki a matou aianei he taro ma matou mo tenei ra.

Give us today our daily bread.

12 M urua o matou hara, me matou hoki e muru nei i o te hunga e hara ana ki a matou.

Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.

13 A ua hoki matou e kawea kia whakawaia; engari whakaorangia matou i te kino. Nou hoki te rangatiratanga, te kaha, me te kororia, ake, ake. Amine.

Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen. ’

14 K i te whakarerea noatia iho hoki e koutou nga he o te tangata, ka whakarerea noatia iho ano o koutou e to koutou Matua i te rangi.

“For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

15 A , ki te kore e whakarerea noatia iho e koutou nga he o nga tangata, e kore ano e whakarerea noatia iho o koutou he e to koutou Matua.

But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

16 K a nohopuku hoki koutou, kei rite ki te hunga tinihanga, kaua e whakapoururu te kanohi; e whakaahua ke ana hoki ratou i o ratou kanohi, kia kitea ai e te tangata, e nohopuku ana. He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Kei a ratou ano te utu mo rato u.

“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.

17 E ngari ka nohopuku koe, kaukauria tou upoko, horoia hoki tou kanohi;

But you, when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your face;

18 K ei kitea koe e te tangata e nohopuku ana, erangi e tou Matua i te wahi ngaro; a, ko tou Matua e kite nei i te wahi ngaro, mana koe e utu.

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.

19 K aua e purangatia he taonga mo koutou ki te whenua, ki te wahi e whakangaro ai te huhu, te waikura: ki te wahi hoki e keri ai te tahae, tahae ai.

“Don’t lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal;

20 E rangi purangatia mo koutou he taonga ki te rangi, ki te wahi e kore ai e whakangaro te huhu, te waikura, ki te wahi hoki e kore ai e keri te tahae, tahae ai:

but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves don’t break through and steal;

21 K o te wahi hoki i o koutou taonga, ko reira ano o koutou ngakau.

for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

22 K o te kanohi te rama o te tinana: na ki te atea tou kanohi, e marama katoa tou tinana.

“The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light.

23 T ena ki te kino tou kanohi, ka pouri katoa tou tinana. Na ki te pouri te marama i roto i a koe, ano te nui o tena pouri!

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!

24 K ahore he tangata e pono te mahi ki nga rangatira tokorua: ka kino hoki ki tetahi, ka aroha ki tetahi; ka u ranei ki tetahi, a ka whakahawea ki tetahi. E kore e pono i a koutou te mahi ki te Atua, ki te taonga.

“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.

25 K oia ahau ka mea nei ki a koutou, Kaua e manukanuka ki to koutou ora, ki ta koutou e kai ai, ki ta koutou e inu ai; ki o koutou tinana ranei, ki ta koutou e kakahu ai. Ehara oti te ora i te rahi atu i te kai, me te tinana i te kakahu?

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?

26 T irohia nga manu o te rangi: kahore ratou e rui, kahore e kokoti, e kohikohi ranei ki nga whare witi; heoi e whangainga ana ratou e to koutou Matua i te rangi. Ehara oti koutou i te mea pai ake i era?

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?

27 K o wai o koutou e taea e ia te whakaaro iho, te hono tetahi wahi ki tona roa, kia kotahi te whatianga?

“Which of you, by being anxious, can add one moment to his lifespan?

28 A he aha koutou i manukanuka ai ki te kakahu? Maharatia nga rengarenga o te whenua, te tupu; e kore nei e mahi, e kore nei ano e miro:

Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin,

29 K o taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Kihai a Horomona, me tona kororia katoa, i rite ki tetahi o enei te whai kakahu.

yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these.

30 H a, ki te penei ta te Atua whakakakahu i te tarutaru o te whenua, e tupu nei inaianei, a apopo ka maka ki te oumu, e kore ianei tana i a koutou e rahi ake, e te hunga whakapono iti?

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?

31 N a kaua ra e manukanuka, e mea, He aha ta tatou e kai ai? He aha ta tatou e inu ai? Me whakakakahu tatou ki te aha?

“Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’

32 K o enei mea katoa nei hoki ta nga tauiwi e rapu ai; e matau ana hoki to koutou Matua i te rangi e matea ana e koutou enei mea katoa.

For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

33 E ngari matua rapua tona rangatiratanga, me ana mea tika; a ka tapiritia enei mea katoa ma koutou.

But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.

34 N o reira kaua e manukanuka ki o apopo: ma apopo ano ia e manukanuka. Kati ano i tona ra tona kino.

Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient.
