Matthew 6 (KOS)

1“Liyaung tuh kowos in tia oru orekma wo lowos ye mutun mwet uh tuh elos in liye ma kowos oru. Kowos fin oru ouinge, ac fah wangin topken ma inge nu suwos sin Papa tomowos su inkusrao.“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.

2“Ke ma inge, kowos fin sang kutena mwe kasru nu sin mwet enenu, nimet oru in liyeyuk, oana ke mwet wosounkas elos oru in lohm alu uh ac pe inkanek uh. Elos oru ouinge mwet uh in kaksakunulos. Pwayena nga fahk nu suwos, elos eis tari molin orekma lalos.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.

3A ke kowos sang mwe kasru lowos nu sin sie mwet enenu, oru ke ouiya se ma wanginna mwet etu kac, finne kawuk na fototo se lom.But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

4Fin ouinge, na ac fah sie ma lukma, ac Papa tomowos, su liye ma kowos oru in lukma, El ac fah sot molin orekma lowos.so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

5“Ke kowos pre, nimet pre oana ke mwet wosounkas elos oru uh! Elos lungse tuyak ac pre ke lohm alu ac ke sruwasrik inkanek uh tuh mwet nukewa in liyalos. Pwayena nga fahk nu suwos, elos eis tari molin orekma lalos.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.

6A ke kom pre, utyak nu infukil sum, kaliya srungul uh ac pre nu sin Papa tomom su in lukma. Ac Papa tomom, su liye ma kom oru in lukma, El fah sot mwe moul nu sum.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.

7“Ke kowos pre, nimet orekmakin kas puspis su wangin kalmac oana ke mwet pegan elos oru. Elos nunku mu god lalos elos ac lohngolos ke sripen loes pre lalos.And when you pray, do not babble on like pagans, for they think that by their many words they will be heard.

8Nimet kowos oru oana elos. Papa tomowos El etu tari ma kowos enenu meet liki kowos siyuk sel.Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

9Ke ma inge kowos pre ouinge: ‘Papa tumasr su inkusrao; Eelos oal pwaye;So then, this is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.

10Tokosrai lalos tuku; Ma lungse lalos in orek fin faclu, ou elos oru inkusrao.Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

11Kite kut len se inge ma kut mongo misenge.Give us this day our daily bread.

12Ac nunak munas nu sesr ke ma koluk lasr, Oana kut nunak munas nu sin mwet su orekma koluk nu sesr.And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

13Ac tia kol kut in mwel, a eiskutla liki ma koluk!’ Tuh Tokosrai lalos, ac ku, ac wolana ma pahtpat, Amen.And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’

14“Kowos fin nunak munas nu sin mwet su orekma koluk nu suwos, Papa tomowos su inkusrao El ac fah oayapa nunak munas nu suwos.For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

15A kowos fin tia nunak munas nu sin mwet uh, na Papa tomowos El ac fah tia pac nunak munas ke ma koluk ma kowos orala uh.But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive yours.

16“Ac kowos fin lalo, nimet oru motowos in ngetnget in asor, oana ke mwet wosounkas elos oru. Elos pilesru in nawela manolos tuh mwet uh in akilen lah elos lalo. Pwayena nga fahk nu suwos, elos eis tari molin orekma lalos.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.

17A kowos fin lalo, kowos twanla motowos ac kawia sifowos,But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,

18tuh mwet uh in tia kalem kac lah kowos lalo, a Papa tomowos in lukma mukena etu. Ac Papa tomowos, su etu ma kowos oru in lukma, fah sot mwe moul nu suwos.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.

19“Nimet elosak mwe kasrup nu suwos fin faclu, yen watil ac ras ac kunausla, ac mwet pisrapasr elos ac kunausla acn ma oan we ac pisrala.Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.

20A kowos in elosak mwe kasrup nu suwos inkusrao, yen watil ac ras tia ku in kunausla, ac mwet pisrapasr elos tia ku in utyak nu we ac pisrala.But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.

21Tuh yen ma saok lowos oasr we, nunkowos ac oan pac we.For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

22“Atronmutun mwet uh oana sie lam nu ke manolos. Fin wo atronmotom, monum nufon ac fah sessesla ke kalem;The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light.

23a atromotom fin koluk, monum ac fah sessesla ke lohsr. Ke ma inge, kalem se ma oan in kom fin lohsr, ac fuka yokiyen lohsr uh!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!

24“Wangin mwet kulansap ku in kulansapu leum luo. El ac srunga sie, ac lungse el ngia; el ac pwaye nu sin sie, ac kwase el ngia. Kowos koflana kulansupu God ac mani.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.

25“Pa inge sripa se nga fahk nu suwos mu: Kowos in tia fosrnga ke mwe mongo ac mwe nim su kowos enenu nu ke moul lowos, ku ke nuknuk nu ke monuwos. Ya moul uh tia saok liki mwe mongo? Ac mano uh tia saok liki nuknuk uh?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?

26Liye won yen engyeng uh — elos tiana orek ima, ku kosrani ac eisani fahko nu in nien filma; a Papa tomowos inkusrao El sang enenu lalos! Ya kowos tia arulana saok lukelos?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?

27Ya kutena suwos ku in akloesyalik moul lal el fin fosrnga kac?Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

28“Ac efu kowos ku fosrnga ke ma kowos ac nukum? Liye luman kapak lun ros inima uh: elos tia orekma, ku tuta nuknuk lalos.And why do you worry about clothes? Consider how the lilies of the field grow: They do not labor or spin.

29A nga fahk nu suwos: finne Tokosra Solomon in mwe kasrup lal, tia ku in yunulla in kato oana sie sin ros inge.Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.

30God pa yunela mah inima uh, su oan misenge na lutu isisyak ac wanginla. Ya El ac fah tia yunikowosla in arulana wo liki? Sriklana lulalfongi lowos uh!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?

31“Ke ma inge, nik kowos mutawauk in fosrngala mu: ‘Mwe mongo nak ac tuku ya me — ku kof nimuk, ku nuknuk luk?’Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’

32(Pa inge ma mwet pegan uh fosrnga kac in pacl nukewa.) Papa tomowos su inkusrao El etu lah kowos enenu ma inge nukewa.For the Gentiles strive after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.

33A kowos in nunku meet ma nu ke Tokosrai lun God ac ma lungse lal, na El ac fah asot ma inge nukewa nu suwos.But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.

34Ke ma inge, nimet fosrnga ke ma ac fah sikyak lutu; tuh ma sikyak lutu fal in fosrngakinyuk lutu. Tia enenu in laesyuk mwe fosrnga lun kais sie len.Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.
