Simple English
When you go without food to pray, don’t look sad like people who pretend. They make their faces look bad so others will know they are going without food. I tell you the truth. That’s all the reward they will get.
Paraphrase
When you fast, don’t put on a sad face like the hypocrites do. They make themselves look miserable so everyone will know they’re fasting. I’m telling you the truth: that’s all the reward they’ll get.
