"Tchotchi Woy[e] otakechkìtosi, nij tipenìmikodjin
ewi pimitowat: nowatchi ngot
tanakke kuchikenìman, ngot ke okutipanan:
tanakke ngot okupemêniman, ngot ke
okupapìnêniman. Tchotchi mamita ewi
te pwetowe¯g KijeMennito ip[è] mitchimennito.
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. |

tchoni ke ouiya[u]ma nowetch pitenitakosinon
mìtchim èpitenîtakotênig?
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] |
[N‘im]auwatchi [2] napimug pinechiëg, tchotchi

tchoni kinuà nowetch pitenitakosissim, kiw
pinechiêg éch pitenitakosiwat?
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] |
Wenidji, etichi[g]e¯g otakechikèton . . . . . . Wakwéyak tchi, wekonidji waötchi osam piménitameg? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? |
| [28] |
napitam[o]g wachkonétog; éch sa¯kowêwat, tchotchi
miketchiëwiss[ï]g, tchoke
otchikwassosig.
And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the liliesof the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: |

|
(kitchi okuma) tcho iji pichkissi, anwe
e kitchi in[e]nitakosikop[ì]nen, ngot tchi eyo
Wachkonêto éch pichkug.
And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glorywas not arrayed like one of these. | |
| [30] |

Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? |
| [31] |
Kego osum piménitakegon, ewi ketiyeg:
Wekonidji Wamitchiyak, wekonidji waminikweyak,
tanak wekonidji Wakweyak? [5]
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? |
| [32] |
Kichke pekoniänig eyidjiknote tchayek onukikennitanauwa.
Okikennitamakowa tchi Kosiwa
Wakwig eyit, éch minêssiyek.
(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. |
| [33] |
Netem iëteg nitauwapitamog KijeMenniton
Otokummauwin, tipasike inatisi[w]in, note
tchi tchayek kikuminikom."
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. |
Notes:
| In the Potawatomi text, letters in brackets could not be read with certainty. Words added to the English translation are enclosed in brackets. The Jesuits constructed an elaborate orthography that utilized diacritical marks extensively. Occasionally, more than one such mark was associated with a single letter. In that event, the second diacritical mark follows the letter with which it is associated in the manuscript. Similarly, when the html symbol set does not include the letter/diacritical mark combination, the diacritical mark is inserted after the letter. In chapter 22, verse 18, /enemê¨kasoýe¯g/ demonstrates both of these situations. | |
| 1 | V. 25. /kitch[è]ibamowag/ was written in, above and starting at the blank before /wamitchiye¯k/; it appears to be an insertion. |
| 2 | V. 26. The first letter of [Nim]auwatchi was written over and cannot be read with certainty; it appears that /N/ was written over /P/. |
| 3 | V. 30. /napaktchi wawipinikat[o]g,/ was written in the margin, with an /x/ indicating where it was to be inserted. |
| 4 | V. 30. The parentheses is opened but not closed. |
| 5 | V. 31. There is a strange symbol over /e/ in /Wakmeyak/. Possibly, Gailland intended that a /u/ be inserted, making /Wakmeuyak/. |
