OET (OET-RV) “So when you’re giving to the poor, don’t make a big display of it like the hypocrites do in the meeting halls and in the streets so they’ll get the people’s praises. I can assure you that they’ve already received their reward in full.
OET-LV Therefore whenever you_may_be_doing alms, you_may_ not _trumpet before you, as the hypocrites are_doing in the synagogues and in the streets, so_that they_may_be_glorified by the people.
Truly, I_am_saying to_you_all, they_are_receiving_fully the reward of_them.
SR-GNT 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. ‡

ULT So when you give alms, do not sound a trumpet before yourself even as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets so that they may be glorified by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.
UST Whenever some people give money to help poor people, they have someone announce what they are doing by playing a loud instrument in the Jewish meeting places and in the main roads. They pretend to help others, but they just want other people to praise them. God will not reward them any more than that. What I have said is true. So, you should not behave like that.
BSB § 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.

FBV When you give to the poor, don't be like the hypocrites[fn] who blow their own trumpets to announce what they're doing in the synagogues and in the streets so that people will praise them. I tell you the truth: they already have their reward.
6:2 A word taken from the Greek which literally means “play-acting.”
TCNT So when yoʋ give to the needy, do not sound a trumpet before yoʋ, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be praised by others. Truly I say to you, they have received their reward.
T4T So, whenever you give something to the poor, do not announce it as people announce something that they want other people to know about by playing a fanfare on a trumpet [MET]. That is what the hypocrites do ◄in the synagogues/in the Jewish meeting places► and on the main roads in order that people might see what they do and praise them. Keep this in mind: People praise those hypocrites, but that is the only reward they will receive!
LEB Therefore whenever you practice charitable giving, do not sound a trumpet in front of you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, in order that they may be praised by people. Truly I say to you, they have received their reward in full!
BBE When then you give money to the poor, do not make a noise about it, as the false-hearted men do in the Synagogues and in the streets, so that they may have glory from men. Truly, I say to you, They have their reward.

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
οὖν
therefore
Here, the word So introduces an application of the general principle that Jesus gave in 6:1. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces an application. Alternate translation: [Therefore,] or [So then,]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / youcrowd
ποιῇς & μὴ σαλπίσῃς & σου
˱you˲_/may_be/_doing & not ˱you˲_/may/_trumpet & you
Even though Jesus is speaking to many disciples, he is addressing an individual situation, so you and yourself are singular throughout this sentence. But if the singular form would not be natural in your language for someone who is speaking to a group of people, you could use the plural forms of you and yourself in your translation.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
μὴ σαλπίσῃς ἔμπροσθέν σου
not ˱you˲_/may/_trumpet before you
Here Jesus could be referring to: (1) how people actually had someone with a trumpet announce that they were giving alms. This would be an extreme example of calling attention to oneself. Alternate translation: [do not have someone with a trumpet announce it before you] (2) how people draw attention to how they give alms, and he describes it as if they were sounding a trumpet. Alternate translation: [do not draw attention to yourself] or [do not announce it publicly, as if you were using a trumpet,]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
μὴ σαλπίσῃς ἔμπροσθέν σου
not ˱you˲_/may/_trumpet before you
Here Jesus implies that people would have someone else sound a trumpet in front of them as they went to give alms. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [do not have someone sound a trumpet in front of you]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς καὶ ἐν ταῖς ῥύμαις
in the synagogues and in the streets
These locations were public places where many people would hear the trumpet. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [in public areas like synagogues and streets]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ὅπως δοξασθῶσιν ὑπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων
so_that ˱they˲_/may_be/_glorified by the people
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [so that men may glorify them]
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
τῶν ἀνθρώπων
the people
Although the term men is masculine, Jesus is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: [men and women] or [people]
Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἀπέχουσιν τὸν μισθὸν αὐτῶν
˱they˲_/are/_receiving_fully the reward ˱of˲_them
Here Jesus means that they have received their entire reward from men, and God will not reward them any further. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [they have already received all the reward they will get] or [God will not give them any reward beyond that]
