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 احْذَرُوا مِنْ أَنْ تَعْمَلُوا الْخَيْرَ أَمَامَ النَّاسِ بِقَصْدِ أَنْ يَنْظُرُوا إِلَيْكُمْ. وَإلَّا، فَلَيْسَ لَكُمْ مُكَافَأَةٌ عِنْدَ أَبِيكُمُ الَّذِي فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ.

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 فَإِذَا تَصَدَّقْتَ عَلَى أَحَدٍ، فَلا تَنْفُخْ أَمَامَكَ فِي الْبُوقِ، كَمَا يَفْعَلُ الْمُنَافِقُونَ فِي الْمَجَامِعِ وَالشَّوَارِعِ، لِيَمْدَحَهُمُ النَّاسُ. الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّهُمْ قَدْ نَالُوا مُكَافَأَتَهُمْ.

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

3 أَمَّا أَنْتَ، فَعِنْدَمَا تَتَصَدَّقُ عَلَى أَحَدٍ، فَلا تَدَعْ يَدَكَ الْيُسْرَى تَعْرِفُ مَا تَفْعَلُهُ الْيُمْنَى.

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

4 لِتَكُونَ صَدَقَتُكَ فِي الْخَفَاءِ، وَأَبُوكَ السَّمَاوِيُّ الَّذِي يَرَى فِي الْخَفَاءِ، هُوَ يُكَافِئُكَ.

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 وَعِنْدَمَا تُصَلُّونَ، لَا تَكُونُوا مِثْلَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ الَّذِينَ يُحِبُّونَ أَنْ يُصَلُّوا وَاقِفِينَ فِي الْمَجَامِعِ وَفِي زَوَايَا الشَّوَارِعِ لِيَرَاهُمُ النَّاسُ. الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّهُمْ قَدْ نَالُوا مُكَافَأَتَهُمْ.

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 أَمَّا أَنْتَ، فَعِنْدَمَا تُصَلِّي، فَادْخُلْ غُرْفَتَكَ، وَأَغْلِقِ الْبَابَ عَلَيْكَ، وَصَلِّ إِلَى أَبِيكَ الَّذِي فِي الْخَفَاءِ. وَأَبُوكَ الَّذِي يَرَى فِي الْخَفَاءِ، هُوَ يُكَافِئُكَ.

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

7 وَعِنْدَمَا تُصَلُّونَ، لَا تُكَرِّرُوا كَلاماً فَارِغاً كَمَا يَفْعَلُ الْوَثَنِيُّونَ، ظَنّاً مِنْهُمْ أَنَّهُ بِالإِكْثَارِ مِنَ الْكَلامِ، يُسْتَجَابُ لَهُمْ.

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

8 فَلا تَكُونُوا مِثْلَهُمْ، لأَنَّ أَبَاكُمْ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَحْتَاجُونَ إِلَيْهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَسْأَلُوهُ.

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

9 فَصَلُّوا أَنْتُمْ مِثْلَ هَذِهِ الصَّلاةِ: أَبَانَا الَّذِي فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ، لِيَتَقَدَّسِ اسْمُكَ!

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

10 لِيَأْتِ مَلَكُوتُكَ! لِتَكُنْ مَشِيئَتُكَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ كَمَا هِيَ فِي السَّمَاءِ!

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

11 خُبْزَنَا كَفَافَنَا أَعْطِنَا الْيَوْمَ!

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

12 وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا، كَمَا نَغْفِرُ نَحْنُ لِلْمُذْنِبِينَ إِلَيْنَا!

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

13 وَلا تُدْخِلْنَا فِي تَجْرِبَةٍ، لَكِنْ نَجِّنَا مِنَ الشِّرِّيرِ، لأَنَّ لَكَ الْمُلْكَ وَالْقُوَّةَ وَالْمَجْدَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. آمِين.

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

14 فَإِنْ غَفَرْتُمْ لِلنَّاسِ زَلّاتِهِمْ، يَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ أَبُوكُمُ السَّمَاوِيُّ زَلّاتِكُمْ.

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

15 وَإِنْ لَمْ تَغْفِرُوا لِلنَّاسِ، لَا يَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ أَبُوكُمُ السَّمَاوِيُّ زَلّاتِكُمْ.

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 وَعِنْدَمَا تَصُومُونَ، لَا تَكُونُوا عَابِسِي الْوُجُوهِ، الْمُنَافِقُونَ الَّذِينَ يُغَيِّرُونَ وُجُوهَهُمْ لِكَيْ يَظْهَرُوا لِلنَّاسِ صَائِمِينَ. الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ إِنَّهُمْ قَدْ نَالُوا مُكَافَأَتَهُمْ.

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

17 أَمَّا أَنْتَ، فَعِنْدَمَا تَصُمْ، فَاغْسِلْ وَجْهَكَ، وَعَطِّرْ رَأْسَكَ،

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 لِكَيْ لَا تَظْهَرَ لِلنَّاسِ صَائِماً، بَلْ لأَبِيكَ الَّذِي فِي الْخَفَاءِ. وَأَبُوكَ الَّذِي يَرَى فِي الْخَفَاءِ، هُوَ يُكَافِئُكَ.

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

19 لَا تَكْنِزُوا لَكُمْ كُنُوزاً عَلَى الأَرْضِ، حَيْثُ يُفْسِدُهَا السُّوسُ وَالصَّدَأُ، وَيَنْقُبُ عَنْهَا اللُّصُوصُ وَيَسْرِقُونَ.

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 بَلِ اكْنِزُوا لَكُمْ كُنُوزاً فِي السَّمَاءِ، حَيْثُ لَا يُفْسِدُهَا سُوسٌ وَلا يَنْقُبُ عَنْهَا لُصُوصٌ وَلا يَسْرِقُونَ.

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

21 فَحَيْثُ يَكُونُ كَنْزُكَ، هُنَاكَ أَيْضاً يَكُونُ قَلْبُكَ!

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

22 الْعَيْنُ مِصْبَاحُ الْجَسَدِ. فَإِنْ كَانَتْ عَيْنُكَ سَلِيمَةً، يَكُونُ جَسَدُكَ كُلُّهُ مُنَوَّراً.

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 وَإِنْ كَانَتْ عَيْنُكَ سَيِّئَةً، يَكُونُ جَسَدُكَ كُلُّهُ مُظْلِماً. فَإِذَا كَانَ النُّورُ الَّذِي فِيكَ ظَلاماً، فَمَا أَشَدَّ الظَّلامَ!

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 لَا يُمْكِنُ لأَحَدٍ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَبْداً لِسَيِّدَيْنِ: لأَنَّهُ إِمَّا أَنْ يُبْغِضَ أَحَدَهُمَا وَيُحِبَّ الآخَرَ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ يُلازِمَ أَحَدَهُمَا وَيَهْجُرَ الآخَرَ. لَا يُمْكِنُكُمْ أَنْ تَكُونُوا عَبِيداً لِلهِ وَالْمَالِ مَعاً.

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 لِذلِكَ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لَا تَهْتَمُّوا لِمَعِيشَتِكُمْ بِشَأْنِ مَا تَأْكُلُونَ وَمَا تَشْرَبُونَ، وَلا لأَجْسَادِكُمْ بِشَأْنِ مَا تَلْبَسُونَ. أَلَيْسَتِ الْحَيَاةُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ مُجَرَّدِ طَعَامٍ، وَالْجَسَدُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ مُجَرَّدِ كِسَاءٍ؟

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 تَأَمَّلُوا طُيُورَ السَّمَاءِ: إِنَّهَا لَا تَزْرَعُ وَلا تَحْصُدُ وَلا تَجْمَعُ فِي مَخَازِنَ، وَأَبُوكُمُ السَّمَاوِيُّ يَعُولُهَا. أَفَلَسْتُمْ أَنْتُمْ أَفْضَلَ مِنْهَا كَثِيراً؟

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

27 فَمَنْ مِنْكُمْ إِذَا حَمَلَ الْهُمُومَ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُطِيلَ عُمْرَهُ وَلَوْ سَاعَةً وَاحِدَةً؟

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

28 وَلِمَاذَا تَحْمِلُونَ هَمَّ الْكِسَاءِ؟ تَأَمَّلُوا زَنَابِقَ الْحَقْلِ كَيْفَ تَنْمُو: إِنَّهَا لَا تَتْعَبُ وَلا تَغْزِلُ؛

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

29 وَلَكِنِّي أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: حَتَّى سُلَيْمَانُ فِي قِمَّةِ مَجْدِهِ لَمْ يَلْبَسْ مَا يُعَادِلُ وَاحِدَةً مِنْهَا جَمَالاً!

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 فَإِنْ كَانَ اللهُ هَكَذَا يُلْبِسُ الأَعْشَابَ الْبَرِّيَّةَ، مَعَ أَنَّهَا تُوْجَدُ الْيَوْمَ وَتُطْرَحُ غَداً فِي النَّارِ، أَفَلَسْتُمْ أَنْتُمْ، يَا قَلِيلِي الإِيمَانِ، أَوْلَى جِدّاً بِأَنْ يَكْسُوَكُمْ؟

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

31 فَلا تَحْمِلُوا الْهَمَّ قَائِلِينَ: مَاذَا نَأْكُلُ؟ أَوْ: مَاذَا نَشْرَبُ؟ أَوْ: مَاذَا نَلْبَسُ؟

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

32 فَهَذِهِ كُلُّهَا يَسْعَى إِلَيْهَا أَهْلُ الدُّنْيَا. فَإِنَّ أَبَاكُمُ السَّمَاوِيَّ يَعْلَمُ حَاجَتَكُمْ إِلَى هَذِهِ كُلِّهَا.

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

33 أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ، فَاطْلُبُوا أَوَّلاً مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ وَبِرَّهُ، وَهَذِهِ كُلُّهَا تُزَادُ لَكُمْ.

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

34 لَا تَهْتَمُّوا بِأَمْرِ الْغَدِ، فَإِنَّ الْغَدَ يَهْتَمُّ بِأَمْرِ نَفْسِهِ. يَكْفِي كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مَا فِيهِ مِنْ سُوءٍ!
