1Pas egter op dat julle julle geregtigheid nie voor die mense doen om deur hulle gesien te word nie; anders het julle geen loon by julle Vader wat in die hemele is nie.

Sommige manuskripte lees: aalmoes in plaas van geregtigheid.

Προσέχετε ⸀δὲ τὴν ⸀δικαιοσύνην ὑμῶν μὴ ποιεῖν ἔμπροσθεν τῶν ἀνθρώπων πρὸς τὸ θεαθῆναι αὐτοῖς· εἰ δὲ μή γε, μισθὸν οὐκ ἔχετε παρὰ τῷ πατρὶ ὑμῶν τῷ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς.“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. 2Wanneer jy dan aalmoes gee, moenie voor jou die basuin blaas nie, soos die huigelaars in die sinagoges en in die systrate doen, sodat hulle deur die mense verheerlik word. Amen, Ek sê vir julle, hulle het hul loon reeds in.

Letterlik: toneelspelers.

Ὅταν οὖν ποιῇς ἐλεημοσύνην, μὴ σαλπίσῃς ἔμπροσθέν σου, ὥσπερ οἱ ὑποκριταὶ ποιοῦσιν ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς καὶ ἐν ταῖς ῥύμαις, ὅπως δοξασθῶσιν ὑπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων· ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἀπέχουσιν τὸν μισθὸν αὐτῶν.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. 3Maar wanneer jy liefdadigheid beoefen, moet jou linkerhand nie weet wat jou regterhand doen nie,σοῦ δὲ ποιοῦντος ἐλεημοσύνην μὴ γνώτω ἡ ἀριστερά σου τί ποιεῖ ἡ δεξιά σου,But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4sodat jou aalmoes in die verborge kan wees; en jou Vader wat in die verborge sien, sal jou vergoed.

Sommige manuskripte lees: ... en jou Vader wat in die verborge sien, Self sal jou in die openbaar vergoed.

ὅπως ᾖ σου ἡ ἐλεημοσύνη ἐν τῷ κρυπτῷ· καὶ ὁ πατήρ σου ὁ βλέπων ἐν τῷ ⸀κρυπτῷ ἀποδώσει ⸀σοι.so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

5En wanneer julle bid, moet julle nie soos die huigelaars wees nie, want hulle hou daarvan om in die sinagoges en op die hoeke van die breë strate te staan en bid, sodat hulle deur die mense gesien kan word. Waarlik, Ek sê vir julle: Hulle het hul loon reeds ontvang.Καὶ ὅταν ⸂προσεύχησθε, οὐκ ἔσεσθε ὡς⸃ οἱ ὑποκριταί· ὅτι φιλοῦσιν ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς καὶ ἐν ταῖς γωνίαις τῶν πλατειῶν ἑστῶτες προσεύχεσθαι, ⸀ὅπως φανῶσιν τοῖς ἀνθρώποις· ἀμὴν λέγω ⸀ὑμῖν, ἀπέχουσι τὸν μισθὸν αὐτῶν.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. 6Maar jy, wanneer jy bid, gaan in jou binnekamer, en nadat jy jou deur gesluit het, bid tot jou Vader wat in die geheim is; en jou Vader wat in die geheim sien, sal jou beloon.

Sommige manuskripte lees: sal jou openlik beloon.

σὺ δὲ ὅταν προσεύχῃ, εἴσελθε εἰς τὸ ταμεῖόν σου καὶ κλείσας τὴν θύραν σου πρόσευξαι τῷ πατρί σου τῷ ἐν τῷ κρυπτῷ· καὶ ὁ πατήρ σου ὁ βλέπων ἐν τῷ κρυπτῷ ἀποδώσει ⸀σοι.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.

7En wanneer julle bid, moet julle nie brabbel soos die heidene nie, want hulle meen dat hulle deur hul baie woorde verhoor sal word.Προσευχόμενοι δὲ μὴ βατταλογήσητε ὥσπερ οἱ ἐθνικοί, δοκοῦσιν γὰρ ὅτι ἐν τῇ πολυλογίᾳ αὐτῶν εἰσακουσθήσονται·And when you pray, do not babble on like pagans, for they think that by their many words they will be heard. 8Moet dan nie soos hulle word nie, want julle Vader weet wat julle nodig het voordat julle Hom vra.μὴ οὖν ὁμοιωθῆτε αὐτοῖς, οἶδεν γὰρ ⸀ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν ὧν χρείαν ἔχετε πρὸ τοῦ ὑμᾶς αἰτῆσαι αὐτόν.Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

9Bid dan julle só: ‘Ons Vader wat in die hemele is, laat U naam geheilig word,Οὕτως οὖν προσεύχεσθε ὑμεῖς· Πάτερ ἡμῶν ὁ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς· ἁγιασθήτω τὸ ὄνομά σου,So then, this is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. 10laat U koninkryk kom, laat U wil geskied, soos in die hemel, ook op die aarde.ἐλθέτω ἡ βασιλεία σου, γενηθήτω τὸ θέλημά σου, ὡς ἐν οὐρανῷ καὶ ⸀ἐπὶ γῆς·Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 11Gee ons vandag ons daaglikse brood;

Of: ons brood vir die komende dag.

τὸν ἄρτον ἡμῶν τὸν ἐπιούσιον δὸς ἡμῖν σήμερον·Give us this day our daily bread. 12en vergeef ons ons skulde, soos ons ook ons skuldenaars vergewe het;

Sommige manuskripte lees: soos ons ook ons skuldenaars vergewe.

καὶ ἄφες ἡμῖν τὰ ὀφειλήματα ἡμῶν, ὡς καὶ ἡμεῖς ⸀ἀφήκαμεν τοῖς ὀφειλέταις ἡμῶν·And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13en bring ons nie in versoeking nie, maar verlos ons van die bose.

Of: van die Bose.

Sommige manuskripte lees: van die bose. Want aan U behoort die koninkryk en die krag en die heerlikheid tot in ewigheid. Amen.

καὶ μὴ εἰσενέγκῃς ἡμᾶς εἰς πειρασμόν, ἀλλὰ ῥῦσαι ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τοῦ ⸀πονηροῦ.And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. ’

14Want as julle aan die mense hulle oortredinge vergewe, sal julle hemelse Vader ook julle vergewe;ἐὰν γὰρ ἀφῆτε τοῖς ἀνθρώποις τὰ παραπτώματα αὐτῶν, ἀφήσει καὶ ὑμῖν ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν ὁ οὐράνιος·For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15maar as julle die mense nie vergewe nie, sal julle Vader ook nie julle oortredings vergewe nie.

Sommige manuskripte lees: as julle die mense nie hul oortredings vergewe nie.

ἐὰν δὲ μὴ ἀφῆτε τοῖς ⸀ἀνθρώποις, οὐδὲ ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν ἀφήσει τὰ παραπτώματα ὑμῶν.But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive yours.

16En wanneer julle vas, moenie somber word soos die huigelaars nie, want hulle maak hulle gesigte onooglik, sodat hulle aan die mense as vastend gesien kan word. Amen, Ek sê vir julle, hulle het hul loon reeds in.Ὅταν δὲ νηστεύητε, μὴ γίνεσθε ⸀ὡς οἱ ὑποκριταὶ σκυθρωποί, ἀφανίζουσιν γὰρ τὰ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν ὅπως φανῶσιν τοῖς ἀνθρώποις νηστεύοντες· ἀμὴν λέγω ⸀ὑμῖν, ἀπέχουσιν τὸν μισθὸν αὐτῶν.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. 17Maar jy, wanneer jy vas, salf jou kop en was jou gesig,σὺ δὲ νηστεύων ἄλειψαί σου τὴν κεφαλὴν καὶ τὸ πρόσωπόν σου νίψαι,But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, 18sodat jy nie vir die mense as vastend gesien word nie, maar vir jou Vader wat in die verborge is; en jou Vader wat in die verborge sien, sal jou vergoed.ὅπως μὴ φανῇς τοῖς ἀνθρώποις νηστεύων ἀλλὰ τῷ πατρί σου τῷ ἐν τῷ ⸀κρυφαίῳ· καὶ ὁ πατήρ σου ὁ βλέπων ἐν τῷ ⸁κρυφαίῳ ἀποδώσει σοι.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.

19Moenie vir julle skatte op die aarde opgaar nie, waar mot en vreting verwoes en waar diewe inbreek en steel;

Of: roes.

Μὴ θησαυρίζετε ὑμῖν θησαυροὺς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ὅπου σὴς καὶ βρῶσις ἀφανίζει, καὶ ὅπου κλέπται διορύσσουσιν καὶ κλέπτουσιν·Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20maar gaar vir julle skatte op in die hemel, waar nie mot of vreting verwoes nie en waar diewe nie inbreek of steel nie;θησαυρίζετε δὲ ὑμῖν θησαυροὺς ἐν οὐρανῷ, ὅπου οὔτε σὴς οὔτε βρῶσις ἀφανίζει, καὶ ὅπου κλέπται οὐ διορύσσουσιν οὐδὲ κλέπτουσιν·But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21want waar jou skat is, daar sal ook jou hart wees.ὅπου γάρ ἐστιν ὁ θησαυρός ⸀σου, ἐκεῖ ἔσται καὶ ἡ καρδία ⸁σου.For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

22Die lamp van die liggaam is die oog. As jou oog dan eenvoudig is, sal jou hele liggaam vol lig wees;

Of: gesond.

Ὁ λύχνος τοῦ σώματός ἐστιν ὁ ὀφθαλμός. ἐὰν οὖν ⸂ᾖ ὁ ὀφθαλμός σου ἁπλοῦς⸃, ὅλον τὸ σῶμά σου φωτεινὸν ἔσται·The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. 23maar as jou oog sleg is, sal jou hele liggaam vol duisternis wees. As die lig wat in jou is dan duisternis is, hoe groot is die duisternis!ἐὰν δὲ ὁ ὀφθαλμός σου πονηρὸς ᾖ, ὅλον τὸ σῶμά σου σκοτεινὸν ἔσται. εἰ οὖν τὸ φῶς τὸ ἐν σοὶ σκότος ἐστίν, τὸ σκότος πόσον.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!

24Niemand kan as slaaf twee here dien nie, want óf hy sal die een haat en die ander een liefhê, óf hy sal aan die een vashou en die ander een verag. Julle kan nie as slaaf God en Mammon dien nie.Οὐδεὶς δύναται δυσὶ κυρίοις δουλεύειν· ἢ γὰρ τὸν ἕνα μισήσει καὶ τὸν ἕτερον ἀγαπήσει, ἢ ἑνὸς ἀνθέξεται καὶ τοῦ ἑτέρου καταφρονήσει. οὐ δύνασθε θεῷ δουλεύειν καὶ μαμωνᾷ.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.

25Daarom sê Ek vir julle: Wees nie besorg oor julle lewe, wat julle sal eet nie, en ook nie oor julle liggaam, wat julle sal aantrek nie. Is die lewe nie meer as die voedsel en die liggaam meer as die kleding nie?

Sommige manuskripte lees: wat julle sal eet of wat julle sal drink.

Διὰ τοῦτο λέγω ὑμῖν· μὴ μεριμνᾶτε τῇ ψυχῇ ὑμῶν τί ⸀φάγητε, μηδὲ τῷ σώματι ὑμῶν τί ἐνδύσησθε· οὐχὶ ἡ ψυχὴ πλεῖόν ἐστι τῆς τροφῆς καὶ τὸ σῶμα τοῦ ἐνδύματος;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? 26Kyk na die voëls van die hemel: hulle saai nie en oes nie en maak nie in skure bymekaar nie, en julle hemelse Vader voed hulle. Is julle nie veel meer waard as hulle nie?ἐμβλέψατε εἰς τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ὅτι οὐ σπείρουσιν οὐδὲ θερίζουσιν οὐδὲ συνάγουσιν εἰς ἀποθήκας, καὶ ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν ὁ οὐράνιος τρέφει αὐτά· οὐχ ὑμεῖς μᾶλλον διαφέρετε αὐτῶν;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? 27En wie van julle kan deur besorg te wees een el by sy lengte voeg?

Of: by sy lewensduur.

Ongeveer 45 sentimeter.

τίς δὲ ἐξ ὑμῶν μεριμνῶν δύναται προσθεῖναι ἐπὶ τὴν ἡλικίαν αὐτοῦ πῆχυν ἕνα;Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? 28En waarom is julle besorg oor kleding? Let op die lelies van die veld, hoe hulle groei: hulle werk nie en spin nie;καὶ περὶ ἐνδύματος τί μεριμνᾶτε; καταμάθετε τὰ κρίνα τοῦ ἀγροῦ πῶς ⸂αὐξάνουσιν· οὐ κοπιῶσιν οὐδὲ νήθουσιν⸃·And why do you worry about clothes? Consider how the lilies of the field grow: They do not labor or spin. 29maar Ek sê vir julle dat selfs Salomo in al sy heerlikheid nie soos een van hulle geklee was nie.λέγω δὲ ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐδὲ Σολομὼν ἐν πάσῃ τῇ δόξῃ αὐτοῦ περιεβάλετο ὡς ἓν τούτων.Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these. 30As God dan die gras van die veld, wat vandag daar is en môre in die oond gegooi word, so klee, sal Hy julle nie veel meer klee nie, kleingelowiges?εἰ δὲ τὸν χόρτον τοῦ ἀγροῦ σήμερον ὄντα καὶ αὔριον εἰς κλίβανον βαλλόμενον ὁ θεὸς οὕτως ἀμφιέννυσιν, οὐ πολλῷ μᾶλλον ὑμᾶς, ὀλιγόπιστοι;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? 31Moet dan nie bekommerd wees en sê nie: ‘Wat sal ons eet?’ of: ‘Wat sal ons drink?’ of: ‘Waarmee sal ons ons kleed?’μὴ οὖν μεριμνήσητε λέγοντες· Τί φάγωμεν; ἤ· Τί πίωμεν; ἤ· Τί περιβαλώμεθα;Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32Want na al hierdie dinge soek die nasies; want julle hemelse Vader weet dat julle dit alles nodig het.πάντα γὰρ ταῦτα τὰ ἔθνη ⸀ἐπιζητοῦσιν· οἶδεν γὰρ ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν ὁ οὐράνιος ὅτι χρῄζετε τούτων ἁπάντων.For the Gentiles strive after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33Maar soek eers die koninkryk en Sy geregtigheid, en al hierdie dinge sal vir julle bygevoeg word.

Sommige manuskripte lees: die koninkryk van God en Sy geregtigheid.

ζητεῖτε δὲ πρῶτον τὴν ⸀βασιλείαν καὶ τὴν δικαιοσύνην αὐτοῦ, καὶ ταῦτα πάντα προστεθήσεται ὑμῖν.But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you. 34Moet dan nie bekommerd wees oor môre nie, want môre sal vir homself bekommerd wees; vir die dag is sy kwaad genoeg.μὴ οὖν μεριμνήσητε εἰς τὴν αὔριον, ἡ γὰρ αὔριον μεριμνήσει ⸀αὑτῆς· ἀρκετὸν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἡ κακία αὐτῆς.Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.
