1 “ Beware of practicing your righteousness before men to be noticed by them; otherwise you have no reward with your Father who is in heaven.

Kia 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.

2 “ So when you give to the poor, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be honored by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.

Na, 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.

3 B ut when you give to the poor, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

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

4 s o that your giving will be in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.

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

5 “ When you pray, you are not to be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.

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.

6 B ut you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.

Na, 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.

7 “ And when you are praying, do not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they suppose that they will be heard for their many words.

Na, 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.

8 S o do not be like them; for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

Na, 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.

9 “ Pray, then, in this way: ‘Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.

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

10 ‘ Your kingdom come. Your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven.

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

11 ‘ Give us this day our daily bread.

Homai ki a matou aianei he taro ma matou mo tenei ra.

12 ‘ And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

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

13 ‘ And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

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

14 F or if you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

Ki 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.

15 B ut if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions. Fasting; The True Treasure; Wealth (Mammon)

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.

16 “ Whenever you fast, do not put on a gloomy face as the hypocrites do, for they neglect their appearance so that they will be noticed by men when they are fasting. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.

Ka 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.

17 B ut you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face

Engari ka nohopuku koe, kaukauria tou upoko, horoia hoki tou kanohi;

18 s o that your fasting will not be noticed by men, but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.

Kei 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.

19 “ Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.

Kaua 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.

20 B ut store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal;

Erangi 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:

21 f or where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

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

22 “ The eye is the lamp of the body; so then if your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light.

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

23 B ut if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!

Tena 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!

24 “ No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth. The Cure for Anxiety

Kahore 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.

25 “ For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

Koia 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?

26 L ook at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?

Tirohia 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?

27 A nd who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life?

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

28 A nd why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin,

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:

29 y et I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.

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

30 B ut if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith!

Ha, 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?

31 D o not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’

Na 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?

32 F or the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

Ko 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.

33 B ut seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

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

34 “ So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

No reira kaua e manukanuka ki o apopo: ma apopo ano ia e manukanuka. Kati ano i tona ra tona kino.
