Matthew 6

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.

1 “你们要小心，行义的时候不可张扬，故意叫人看见，否则就不能得你们天父的赏赐了。

2 So 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.

2 “因此，周济穷人的时候，不要大吹大擂，像那些伪君子在会堂和街市上所行的一样，以博取人们的赞赏。我实在告诉你们，他们得到的赏赐仅此而已。

3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

3 你们周济穷人的时候，右手所做的别叫左手知道，

4 so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

4 要不声不响地去做。这样，鉴察隐秘事的天父必赏赐你们。

5 And 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.

5 “你们祷告时，不要像伪君子那样。他们喜欢站在会堂里和十字路口上公开祷告，故意让人看见。我实在告诉你们，他们得到的赏赐不过是人的赞赏。

6 But 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.

6 你们祷告的时候，要进入内室，关上门，向你们肉眼看不见的父祈祷，鉴察隐秘事的父必赏赐你们。

7 And when you pray, do not babble on like pagans, for they think that by their many words they will be heard.

7 “你们祷告时不可像外族人那样喋喋不休，他们以为长篇大论，就必蒙垂听。

8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

8 不可像他们那样，因为在你们祈求以前，你们的父已经知道你们的需要了。

9 So then, this is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.

9 “你们应当这样祷告， “‘我们天上的父， 愿你的圣名被尊崇，

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

10 愿你的国度降临， 愿你的旨意在地上成就，就像在天上成就一样。

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

11 求你今天赐给我们日用的饮食。

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

12 饶恕我们的罪， 就像我们饶恕了得罪我们的人。

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’

13 不要让我们陷入诱惑， 救我们脱离那恶者。 因为国度、权柄、荣耀都是你的，直到永远。阿们！’

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

14 “如果你们饶恕别人的过犯，你们的天父也必饶恕你们的过犯。

15 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive yours.

15 如果你们不饶恕别人的过犯，你们的天父也不会饶恕你们的过犯。

16 When 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.

16 “你们禁食的时候，不要像伪君子那样愁眉苦脸，因为他们故意蓬头垢面，好让别人知道他们在禁食。我实在告诉你们，他们得到的赏赐不过是人的赞赏。

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

17 你禁食的时候要梳头洗脸，

18 so 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.

18 不叫人们看出你在禁食，只让你肉眼看不见的父知道，鉴察隐秘事的父必赏赐你。

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

19 “不要为自己在世上积攒财宝，世上有虫子咬，会生锈，又有贼闯进来偷。

20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.

20 你们要把财宝积攒在天上，天上没有虫子咬，不会生锈，也没有贼闯进来偷。

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

21 要知道，你的财宝在哪里，你的心也在哪里。

22 The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light.

22 “眼睛是身体的灯。你的眼睛若明亮，全身就光明；

23 But 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!

23 你的眼睛若昏花 ，全身就黑暗。如果你里面的光黑暗了，那黑暗是多么大啊！

24 No 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.

24 “一个人不能服侍两位主人，因为他不是恨这位、爱那位，就是重这位、轻那位。你们不能又事奉上帝，又事奉金钱。

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 clothes?

25 “所以我告诉你们，不要为生活忧虑，比如吃什么、喝什么，也不要为身体忧虑，比如穿什么。难道生命不比饮食重要吗？身体不比穿着重要吗？

26 Look 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?

26 “你们看天上的飞鸟，它们不种，不收，也不在仓里积存粮食，你们的天父尚且养活它们，难道你们还不如飞鸟贵重吗？

27 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

27 你们谁能用忧虑使自己多活片刻呢？

28 And why do you worry about clothes? Consider how the lilies of the field grow: They do not labor or spin.

28 “何必为穿着忧虑呢？你们看看野地的百合花是如何生长的，它们既不劳苦，也不纺织。

29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.

29 但我告诉你们，就连所罗门王最显赫时的穿戴还不如一朵百合花！

30 If 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?

30 你们的信心太小了！野地的草今天还在，明天就被扔进炉中，上帝还这样装扮它们，何况你们呢？

31 Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’

31 所以，你们不要忧虑‘吃什么？喝什么？穿什么？’

32 For the Gentiles strive after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.

32 因为这些都是外族人的追求，你们的天父知道你们的需要。

33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.

33 “你们要先寻求上帝的国和祂的义，这一切都会赐给你们。

34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.

34 所以，不要为明天忧虑，因为明天自有明天的忧虑，一天的难处一天担就够了。
