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.
“Take heed not to do your kindness before men, to be seen by them, and if not—you have no reward from your Father who [is] in the heavens;
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.
whenever, therefore, you may do kindness, you may not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do, in the synagogues, and in the streets, that they may have glory from men; truly I say to you, they have their reward!
3 Bita ni tie kpie zizi, na ndu iwo ko'ta toh ikpie wa iwo rli si tie a na.
But you, doing kindness, do not let your left hand know what your right hand does,
4 U ndu zizi mbi nihe rii'rii'; u itie mbi wa ani toh ni mbu'a ani hanyi dii mbi kima.
that your kindness may be in secret, and your Father who is seeing in secret will reward you Himself.
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 may pray, you will not be as the hypocrites, because they cherish to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the broad places, that they may be seen of men; truly I say to you that they have 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 may pray, go into your chamber, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who [is] in secret, and your Father who is seeing in secret will reward 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—praying—you may not use vain repetitions like the nations, for they think that in their speaking much they will be heard,
8 Tomba bika na he to u mba na. 'E tiembi toh guci yiwu ikpie wa bi mye a.
therefore do not be like them, for your Father knows those things that you have need of before your asking Him;
9 “Bita' tie aduwa toyi; Tre: Iti mbu wa a he shulua, ndu san me tsratsra me,
therefore pray thus: Our Father who [is] in the heavens, hallowed be Your Name.
10 mulki ndu ye, ikpie wa u son ndu ba tiewu ni ngbugblu'a nawa ba tiewu ni shulu'a.
Your kingdom come, Your will come to pass, as in Heaven also on the earth.
11 Nnota rli u vi luwa.
Give us today our appointed 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 may You not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil [one], because Yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory—for all ages. Amen.
14 “E bita wru latre ndi hle bawu, itie mbi ni shulu ni wruhle yiwu ngame.
For if you may forgive men their trespasses He also will forgive you—your Father who [is] in the heavens;
15 “Biti na wru latre ndi hle bawu na, u tie mbi na wruhle yiwu ngame na.
but if you may not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
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 may fast, do not be as the hypocrites, of sour countenances, for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear to men fasting; truly I say to you that they have their reward.
17 To, biyi', bita si vu nyu, ngla shishi mbi di gban nye ni tu mbi.
But you, fasting, 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.
that you may not appear to men fasting, but to your Father who [is] in secret, and your Father, who is seeing in secret, will reward 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 treasure up to yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust disfigure, and where thieves break through 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.
but treasure up to yourselves treasures in Heaven, where neither moth nor rust disfigure, and where thieves do not break through nor steal,
21 “E iwrji wa ikpie mbi he'a, niki ki isron mbi ni he ngame.
for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22 “Ikpan u kpa ahi shishi. Shishi mbi nita bii, u kpa' mbi wawuu ani shu ni kpan.
The lamp of the body is the eye, if, therefore, your eye may be perfect, all your body will be enlightened,
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 may be evil, all your body will be dark; if, therefore, the light that [is] in you is darkness—the darkness, how great!
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.
None is able to serve two lords, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to the one, and despise the other; you are not able to 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?
Because of this I say to you, do not be anxious for your life, what you may eat, and what you may drink, nor for your body, what you may put on. Is not life more than nourishment, and the body 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?
Look to the birds of the sky, for they do not sow, nor reap, nor gather into storehouses, and your heavenly Father nourishes them; are you not much better than they?
27 “Ahi nha mbi ni tu tamre ma ani to nzu gbron ma ko tsame?
And who of you, being anxious, is able to add to his age one cubit?
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 why are you anxious about clothing? Consider well the lilies of the field; how do they grow? They do not labor, nor do they spin;
29 Me hla yiwu sulema me ni gbugbu kpi ma mba he wo ma me na bii mla ni ri biyi na.
and I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed as 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.
And if the herb of the field, that today is, and tomorrow is cast into the furnace, God so clothes—not much more you, O you of little 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 you may not be anxious, saying, What may we eat? Or, What may we drink? Or, [With] what may 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 nations seek for all these, for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these;
33 Wa mulki Rji ni mumla mba inkon matsratsra rli u mbru kpi biyi ba nno nha yiwu.
but seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these will be added to you.
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 for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for its own things; sufficient for the day [is] the evil of it.”
