Matthew 6

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	VULGATA
1 "(But) take care not to perform righteous deeds in order that people may see them; otherwise, you will have no recompense from your heavenly Father.	1 Attendite ne justitiam vestram faciatis coram hominibus, ut videamini ab eis : alioquin mercedem non habebitis apud Patrem vestrum qui in cælis est.
2 When you give alms, do not blow a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets to win the praise of others. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward.	2 Cum 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.
3 But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right is doing,	3 Te autem faciente eleemosynam, nesciat sinistra tua quid faciat dextera tua :
4 so that your almsgiving may be secret. And your Father who sees in secret will repay you.	4 ut sit eleemosyna tua in abscondito, et Pater tuus, qui videt in abscondito, reddet tibi.
5 "When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, who love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on street corners so that others may see them. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward.	5 Et 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.
6 But when you pray, go to your inner room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will repay you.	6 Tu autem cum oraveris, intra in cubiculum tuum, et clauso ostio, ora Patrem tuum in abscondito : et Pater tuus, qui videt in abscondito, reddet tibi.
7 In praying, do not babble like the pagans, who think that they will be heard because of their many words.	7 Orantes autem, nolite multum loqui, sicut ethnici, putant enim quod in multiloquio suo exaudiantur.
8 Do not be like them. Your Father knows what you need before you ask him.	8 Nolite ergo assimilari eis : scit enim Pater vester, quid opus sit vobis, antequam petatis eum.
9 "This is how you are to pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,	9 Sic ergo vos orabitis : Pater noster, qui es in cælis, sanctificetur nomen tuum.
10 your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven.	10 Adveniat regnum tuum ; fiat voluntas tua, sicut in cælo et in terra.
11 Give us today our daily bread;	11 Panem nostrum supersubstantialem da nobis hodie,
12 and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors;	12 et dimitte nobis debita nostra, sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris.
13 and do not subject us to the final test, but deliver us from the evil one.	13 Et ne nos inducas in tentationem, sed libera nos a malo. Amen.
14 If you forgive others their transgressions, your heavenly Father will forgive you.	14 Si enim dimiseritis hominibus peccata eorum : dimittet et vobis Pater vester cælestis delicta vestra.
15 But if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your transgressions.	15 Si autem non dimiseritis hominibus : nec Pater vester dimittet vobis peccata vestra.
16 "When you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites. They neglect their appearance, so that they may appear to others to be fasting. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward.	16 Cum autem jejunatis, nolite fieri sicut hypocritæ, tristes. Exterminant enim facies suas, ut appareant hominibus jejunantes. Amen dico vobis, quia receperunt mercedem suam.
17 But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,	17 Tu autem, cum jejunas, unge caput tuum, et faciem tuam lava,
18 so that you may not appear to be fasting, except to your Father who is hidden. And your Father who sees what is hidden will repay you.	18 ne videaris hominibus jejunans, sed Patri tuo, qui est in abscondito : et Pater tuus, qui videt in abscondito, reddet tibi.
19 "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and decay destroy, and thieves break in and steal.	19 Nolite thesaurizare vobis thesauros in terra : ubi ærugo, et tinea demolitur : et ubi fures effodiunt, et furantur.
20 But store up treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor decay destroys, nor thieves break in and steal.	20 Thesaurizate autem vobis thesauros in cælo, ubi neque ærugo, neque tinea demolitur, et ubi fures non effodiunt, nec furantur.
21 For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.	21 Ubi enim est thesaurus tuus, ibi est et cor tuum.
22 "The lamp of the body is the eye. If your eye is sound, your whole body will be filled with light;	22 Lucerna corporis tui est oculus tuus. Si oculus tuus fuerit simplex, totum corpus tuum lucidum erit.
23 but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be in darkness. And if the light in you is darkness, how great will the darkness be.	23 Si 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 one can serve two masters. He will either hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.	24 Nemo potest duobus dominis servire : aut enim unum odio habebit, et alterum diliget : aut unum sustinebit, et alterum contemnet. Non potestis Deo servire et mammonæ.
25 "Therefore 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 clothing?	25 Ideo 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 ?
26 Look at the birds in the sky; they do not sow or reap, they gather nothing into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are not you more important than they?	26 Respicite volatilia cæli, quoniam non serunt, neque metunt, neque congregant in horrea : et Pater vester cælestis pascit illa. Nonne vos magis pluris estis illis ?
27 Can any of you by worrying add a single moment to your life-span?	27 Quis autem vestrum cogitans potest adjicere ad staturam suam cubitum unum ?
28 Why are you anxious about clothes? Learn from the way the wild flowers grow. They do not work or spin.	28 Et de vestimento quid solliciti estis ? Considerate lilia agri quomodo crescunt : non laborant, neque nent.
29 But I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was clothed like one of them.	29 Dico autem vobis, quoniam nec Salomon in omni gloria sua coopertus est sicut unum ex istis.
30 If God so clothes the grass of the field, which grows today and is thrown into the oven tomorrow, will he not much more provide for you, O you of little faith?	30 Si autem fœnum agri, quod hodie est, et cras in clibanum mittitur, Deus sic vestit, quanto magis vos modicæ fidei ?
31 So do not worry and say, 'What are we to eat?' or 'What are we to drink?' or 'What are we to wear?'	31 Nolite ergo solliciti esse, dicentes : Quid manducabimus, aut quid bibemus, aut quo operiemur ?
32 All these things the pagans seek. Your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.	32 hæc enim omnia gentes inquirunt. Scit enim Pater vester, quia his omnibus indigetis.
33 But seek first the kingdom (of God) and his righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides.	33 Quærite ergo primum regnum Dei, et justitiam ejus : et hæc omnia adjicientur vobis.
34 Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself. Sufficient for a day is its own evil.	34 Nolite ergo solliciti esse in crastinum. Crastinus enim dies sollicitus erit sibi ipsi : sufficit diei malitia sua.
