Matiyu 6
1 Wierli ni tie zizi mbi ni ndi, ndu ba na toh na. Kaa tie ni ndu tie mbi u shulu na nno yi idii ndu mbi na.
“Pay attention, lest you perform your justice before men, in order to be seen by them; otherwise you shall not have a reward with your Father, who is in heaven.
2 Tomba, bita tie zizi bi kana d'bbu ni ndi na, bi mrla ndi ba tie toki ni tra Rji mba ni tie nkon u migbu, ndu ndi gbre ba san Njanjimu, me hla yiwu, ba rliga kpa dii mba ye.
Therefore, when you give alms, do not choose to sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the towns, so that they may be honored by men. Amen I say to you, they have received their reward.
3 Bita ni tie kpie zizi, na ndu iwo ko'ta toh ikpie wa iwo rli si tie a na.
But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
4 U ndu zizi mbi nihe rii'rii'; u itie mbi wa ani toh ni mbu'a ani hanyi dii mbi kima.
so that your almsgiving may be in secret, and your Father, who sees in secret, will repay you.
5 U bitani tie aduwa, na tie to bi mrla ndi na. Biki ba ngri tie aduwa ni zande ni tra Rji mba ni fron nkon bi mi gbu, adi ndu ndi ka don to mba. Njanjimu, me wa yiwu, ba kpa dii mba ye.
And when you pray, you should not be like the hypocrites, who love standing in the synagogues and at the corners of the streets to pray, so that they may be seen by men. Amen I say to you, they have received their reward.
6 To biyi, bita ni tie aduwa, bika rii hi mi tra mbi, ndi tro' nkontra mbi, ndi tie aduwa hi ni tie mbi wa ahe rii'rii', u wawu tie mbi wa ani toh rii'rii', ani nnoyi dii mbi ni rira me.
But you, when you pray, enter into your room, and having shut the door, pray to your Father in secret, and your Father, who sees in secret, will repay you.
7 Bita ni tie aduwa, bikana rju tre towa bi mrla ndi ba tie na. Ba'ki baya' di gbubu tre mba ni ndu ba wo ba.
And when praying, do not choose many words, as the pagans do. For they think that by their excess of words they might be heeded.
8 Tomba bika na he to u mba na. 'E tiembi toh guci yiwu ikpie wa bi mye a.
Therefore, do not choose to imitate them. For your Father knows what your needs may be, even before you ask him.
9 “Bita' tie aduwa toyi; Tre: Iti mbu wa a he shulua, ndu san me tsratsra me,
Therefore, you shall pray in this way: Our Father, who is in heaven: May your name be kept holy.
10 mulki ndu ye, ikpie wa u son ndu ba tiewu ni ngbugblu'a nawa ba tiewu ni shulu'a.
May your kingdom come. May your will be done, as in heaven, so also on earth.
11 Nnota rli u vi luwa.
Give us this day our life-sustaining bread.
12 U latre mbu uka uru hle tawu, towa kie uruhle ni bari'a.
And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.
13 Ndi na nji ta hi wrji u tsra-toh na, jbu ta rjuni wo bi brji(meme). Mulki mba ngbengble, mba girma(babran) bahi ume kakle'. Ameh
And lead us not into temptation. But free us from evil. Amen.
14 “E bita wru latre ndi hle bawu, itie mbi ni shulu ni wruhle yiwu ngame.
For if you will forgive men their sins, your heavenly Father also will forgive you your offenses.
15 “Biti na wru latre ndi hle bawu na, u tie mbi na wruhle yiwu ngame na.
But if you will not forgive men, neither will your Father forgive you your sins.
16 Ngarli, bita ni' vu nyu, na ya gbododo me' na bi mrla ndi ba tie na. 'E' ba trso shishi mba ni ndi toki ndu ba to di baki vu nyu. Njanjimu, me hla yiwu, ba rliga kpa dii mba ye.
And when you fast, do not choose to become gloomy, like the hypocrites. For they alter their faces, so that their fasting may be apparent to men. Amen I say to you, that they have received their reward.
17 To, biyi', bita si vu nyu, ngla shishi mbi di gban nye ni tu mbi.
But as for you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,
18 Ndu ndi na toh di bi ki vu nyu na; u tie mbi wa a he rii'rii' 'a, nda ni toh ni rii'rii' 'a ani hanyi dii mbi.
so that your fasting will not be apparent to men, but to your Father, who is in secret. And your Father, who sees in secret, will repay you.
19 Na rii kpi zi ni ngbungblu yi na, iwrji wa imra ni rli ba ko wa ba kuklu nda tie meme ko bi y'bi ba y'ra bubuwa na y'bi ba;
Do not choose to store up for yourselves treasures on earth: where rust and moth consume, and where thieves break in and steal.
20 zi kpi mbi ni shuhe, ni bubu wa imra, ko kuklu' na kpa tie meme na ni wrji wa bi y'bi bana y'ra rii mi nda y'bi bana.
Instead, store up for yourselves treasures in heaven: where neither rust nor moth consumes, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
21 “E iwrji wa ikpie mbi he'a, niki ki isron mbi ni he ngame.
For where your treasure is, there also is your heart.
22 “Ikpan u kpa ahi shishi. Shishi mbi nita bii, u kpa' mbi wawuu ani shu ni kpan.
The lamp of your body is your eye. If your eye is wholesome, your entire body will be filled with light.
23 U shishi mbi nita tie me'me', ikpa mbi wawuu ni kpukpa bwu yi. U ani ta ndi ikpan wa ahe ni mi mbi ahi bwu, to ibran bwu kimaa ni he bitan!
But if your eye has been corrupted, your entire body will be darkened. If then the light that is in you is darkness, how great will that darkness be!
24 Indi ri na'toh nji tikoh harli na, 'e' ani son ri mba nda kran rimaa, ko ka' y'me ni ri nda kama ni rimaa. Bina' mrli koh Rji mba u mammon na.
No one is able to serve two masters. For either he will have hatred for the one, and love the other, or he will persevere with the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.
25 To, mi hla yiwu, na tamne ni tu son ngbunblu mbi na, illa wa bi rli ko ikpie wa bi so, ko ni kpa'mbi, inklon wabi sru'a na. He ni sisren na zan birli na, ka ikpa mbi na zan ikpi na?
And so I say to you, do not be anxious about your life, as to what you will eat, nor about your body, as to what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
26 “To cincen' bi bwua, bana cu ko can ko zi kpie ni wron na, naki me itiembi ni shulu ni nno mba rli. Bina nna ba na?
Consider the birds of the air, how they neither sow, nor reap, nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of much greater value than they are?
27 “Ahi nha mbi ni tu tamre ma ani to nzu gbron ma ko tsame?
And which of you, by thinking, is able to add one cubit to his stature?
28 “U bi ta'mre ngye ni tie ikpie bi sru? To kunkron bi miji wa ba'gbron hama ni ron ko ni ta' rjurju.
And as for clothing, why are you anxious? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither work nor weave.
29 Me hla yiwu sulema me ni gbugbu kpi ma mba he wo ma me na bii mla ni ri biyi na.
But I say to you, that not even Solomon, in all his glory, was arrayed like one of these.
30 Zizanyi, u Rji wa a tie giga bi miji ni nkpon bii wa, luwa ba he u mble ba mmo hi ni ba, a na sru kpi kayi zan ba na, ha'yi biyi bi tsitsa sron.
So if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and cast into the oven tomorrow, how much more will he care for you, O little in faith?
31 “Tomba bika na tamre di tre, 'Ayi ngye mi rli' ka ahi ngye mi so na? 'Ka 'ahi ngye me sru ka' kpa'?'
Therefore, do not choose to be anxious, saying: ‘What shall we eat, and what shall we drink, and with what shall we be clothed?’
32 “E a bi wa bana toh Rji mba ba wa bi kpi biyi. E itie mbi u shulu toh di bi wa ikpi biyi.
For the Gentiles seek all these things. Yet your Father knows that you need all these things.
33 Wa mulki Rji ni mumla mba inkon matsratsra rli u mbru kpi biyi ba nno nha yiwu.
Therefore, seek first the kingdom of God and his justice, and all these things shall be added to you as well.
34 Tomba, na ta'mre ni tu mble na, imble he ni kpima u wa bi tamrea. iya' u vi ri mlau.
Therefore, do not be anxious about tomorrow; for the future day will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its evil.”
