The Sermon on the Mount - Part 2 (Matthew 6)

1你们nǐ men要yào小心xiǎo xīn,不可bù kě将jiāng善事shàn shì行xíng在zài人rén的de面前miàn qián,故意gù yì叫jiào他们tā men看见kàn jiàn;若是ruò shì这样zhè yàng,就jiù不能bù néng得dé你们nǐ men天父tiān fù的de赏赐shǎng cì了le。

1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

2所以suǒ yǐ你nǐ施舍shī shě的de时候shí hou,不可bù kě在zài你nǐ前面qián miàn吹号chuī hào,像xiàng那nà假冒jiǎ mào为wéi善shàn的de人rén在zài会堂huì táng里lǐ和hé街道jiē dào上shàng所suǒ行xíng的de,故意gù yì要yào得dé人rén的de荣耀róng yào。我wǒ实在shí zài告诉gào sù你们nǐ men,他们tā men已经yǐ jīng得了dé le他们tā men的de赏赐shǎng cì。

2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

3你nǐ施舍shī shě的de时候shí hou,不要bù yào叫jiào左手zuǒ shǒu知道zhī dào右手yòu shǒu所suǒ做的zuò de;

3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:

4要yào叫jiào你nǐ施舍shī shě的de事shì行xíng在zài暗中àn zhōng,你nǐ父fù在zài暗中àn zhōng察看chá kàn,必然bì rán报答bào dá你nǐ。

4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.

5你们nǐ men祷告dǎo gào的de时候shí hou,不可bù kě像xiàng那nà假冒jiǎ mào为wéi善shàn的de人rén,爱ài站在zhàn zài会堂huì táng里lǐ和hé十字路口shí zì lù kǒu上shàng祷告dǎo gào,故意gù yì叫jiào人rén看见kàn jiàn。我wǒ实在shí zài告诉gào sù你们nǐ men,他们tā men已经yǐ jīng得了dé le他们tā men的de赏赐shǎng cì。

5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

6你nǐ祷告dǎo gào的de时候shí hou,要yào进jìn你的nǐ de内nèi屋wū,关上guān shàng门mén,祷告dǎo gào你nǐ在zài暗中àn zhōng的de父fù,你nǐ父fù在zài暗中àn zhōng察看chá kàn,必然bì rán报答bào dá你nǐ。

6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

7你们nǐ men祷告dǎo gào,不可bù kě像xiàng外邦人wài bāng rén,用yòng许多xǔ duō重复chóng fù话huà,他们tā men以为yǐ wéi话huà多了duō le必bì蒙méng垂听chuí tīng。

7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

8你们nǐ men不可bù kě效法xiào fǎ他们tā men;因为yīn wèi你们nǐ men没有méi yǒu祈求qí qiú以yǐ先xiān,你们nǐ men所需suǒ xū用yòng的de,你们nǐ men的de父fù早已zǎo yǐ知道了zhī dào le。

8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

9所以suǒ yǐ你们nǐ men祷告dǎo gào要yào这样zhè yàng说shuō:我们wǒ men在zài天上tiān shàng的de父fù,愿yuàn人rén都dōu尊zūn你的nǐ de名míng为wéi圣shèng。

9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

10愿yuàn你的nǐ de国guó降临jiàng lín。愿yuàn你的nǐ de旨意zhǐ yì行xíng在zài地上dì shang,如同rú tóng行xíng在zài天上tiān shàng。

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

11我们wǒ men日用rì yòng的de饮食yǐn shí,今日jīn rì赐给cì gěi我们wǒ men。

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12免miǎn我们wǒ men的de债zhài,如同rú tóng我们wǒ men免miǎn了le人rén的de债zhài。

12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

13不bù叫jiào我们wǒ men遇见yù jiàn试探shì tàn,救jiù我们wǒ men脱离tuō lí凶恶xiōng è。因为yīn wèi国度guó dù、权柄quán bǐng、荣耀róng yào,全quán是shì你的nǐ de,直到zhí dào永远yǒng yuǎn。阿们ā men。

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

14你们nǐ men饶恕ráo shù人rén的de过犯guò fàn,你们nǐ men的de天父tiān fù也yě必bì饶恕ráo shù你们nǐ men的de过犯guò fàn。

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

15你们nǐ men不bù饶恕ráo shù人rén的de过犯guò fàn,你们nǐ men的de天父tiān fù也yě必bì不bù饶恕ráo shù你们nǐ men的de过犯guò fàn。

15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

16你们nǐ men禁食jìn shí的de时候shí hou,不可bù kě像xiàng那nà假冒jiǎ mào为wéi善shàn的de人rén,脸liǎn上shàng带着dài zhe愁容chóu róng;因为yīn wèi他们tā men把bǎ脸liǎn弄nòng得de难看nán kàn,故意gù yì叫jiào人rén看出kàn chū他们tā men是shì禁食jìn shí。我wǒ实在shí zài告诉gào sù你们nǐ men,他们tā men已经yǐ jīng得了dé le他们tā men的de赏赐shǎng cì。

16 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

17你nǐ禁食jìn shí的de时候shí hou,要yào梳头shū tóu洗脸xǐ liǎn;

17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;

18不bù叫jiào人rén看出kàn chū你nǐ禁食jìn shí来lái,只zhǐ叫jiào你nǐ暗中àn zhōng的de父fù看见kàn jiàn;你nǐ父fù在zài暗中àn zhōng察看chá kàn,必然bì rán报答bào dá你nǐ。

18 That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.

19不要bù yào为wèi自己zì jǐ积攒jī zǎn财宝cái bǎo在zài地上dì shang,地上dì shang有yǒu虫子chóng zi咬yǎo,能néng锈xiù坏huài,也有yě yǒu贼zéi挖wā窟窿kū long来lái偷tōu;

19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

20只要zhǐ yào积攒jī zǎn财宝cái bǎo在zài天上tiān shàng,天上tiān shàng没有méi yǒu虫子chóng zi咬yǎo,不能bù néng锈xiù坏huài,也yě没有méi yǒu贼zéi挖wā窟窿kū long来lái偷tōu。

20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

21因为yīn wèi你的nǐ de财宝cái bǎo在哪里zài nǎ lǐ,你的nǐ de心xīn也yě在zài那里nà li。

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

22眼睛yǎn jing就是jiù shì身上shēn shang的de灯dēng。你的nǐ de眼睛yǎn jing若ruò了liǎo亮liàng,全身quán shēn就jiù光明guāng míng;

22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

23你的nǐ de眼睛yǎn jing若ruò昏花hūn huā,全身quán shēn就jiù黑暗hēi àn。你nǐ里头lǐ tou的de光guāng若ruò黑暗hēi àn了le,那nà黑暗hēi àn是shì何等hé děng大dà呢ne!

23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!

24一个人yī gè rén不能bù néng事奉shì fèng两个liǎng gè主zhǔ;不是bù shì恶wù这个zhè ge、爱ài那个nà ge,就是jiù shì重zhòng这个zhè ge、轻qīng那个nà ge。你们nǐ men不能bù néng又yòu事奉shì fèng神shén,又yòu事奉shì fèng玛门mǎ mén。

24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

25所以suǒ yǐ我wǒ告诉gào sù你们nǐ men,不要bù yào为wèi生命shēng mìng忧虑yōu lǜ吃什么chī shén me、喝hē什么shén me,为wèi身体shēn tǐ忧虑yōu lǜ穿chuān什么shén me。生命shēng mìng不胜bù shèng于yú饮食yǐn shí吗ma?身体shēn tǐ不胜bù shèng于yú衣裳yī shang吗ma?

25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

26你们nǐ men看kàn那nà天上tiān shàng的de飞鸟fēi niǎo,也yě不bù种zhòng,也yě不bù收shōu,也yě不bù积蓄jī xù在zài仓cāng里lǐ,你们nǐ men的de天父tiān fù尚且shàng qiě养活yǎng huo它tā,你们nǐ men不比bù bǐ飞鸟fēi niǎo贵重guì zhòng得de多duō吗ma?

26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

27你们nǐ men哪一个nǎ yī ge能néng用yòng思虑sī lǜ,使shǐ寿数shòu shu多duō加jiā一yī刻kè呢ne?

27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

28何必hé bì为wèi衣裳yī shang忧虑yōu lǜ呢ne?你nǐ想xiǎng,野地yě dì里lǐ的de百合花bǎi hé huā怎么zěn me长zhǎng起来qǐ lai?它tā也yě不bù劳苦láo kǔ,也yě不bù纺fǎng线xiàn。

28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

29然而rán ér我wǒ告诉gào sù你们nǐ men,就是jiù shì所罗门suǒ luó mén极jí荣华róng huá的de时候shí hou,他tā所suǒ穿戴chuān dài的de,还不如hái bù rú这zhè花huā一yī朵duǒ呢ne。

29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

30你们nǐ men这zhè小xiǎo信xìn的de人rén哪nǎ!野地yě dì里lǐ的de草cǎo,今天jīn tiān还hái在zài,明天míng tiān就jiù丢diū在zài炉lú里lǐ,神shén还hái给gěi它tā这样zhè yàng的de妆饰zhuāng shì,何况hé kuàng你们nǐ men呢ne。

30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

31所以suǒ yǐ不要bù yào忧虑yōu lǜ说shuō,吃什么chī shén me?喝hē什么shén me?穿chuān什么shén me?

31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

32这zhè都是dōu shì外邦人wài bāng rén所suǒ求qiú的de。你们nǐ men需xū用yòng的de这一切zhè yī qiè东西dōng xi,你们nǐ men的de天父tiān fù是shì知道zhī dào的de。

32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

33你们nǐ men要yào先xiān求qiú他的tā de国guó和hé他的tā de义yì,这些zhè xiē东西dōng xi都dōu要yào加jiā给gěi你们nǐ men了le。

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

34所以suǒ yǐ不要bù yào为wèi明天míng tiān忧虑yōu lǜ,因为yīn wèi明天míng tiān自有zì yǒu明天míng tiān的de忧虑yōu lǜ,一天yī tiān的de难处nán chu一天yī tiān当dāng就jiù够gòu了le。

34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
