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 that you do not do your acts of righteousness before people to be seen by them, or else you will have no reward from 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.
So when you give alms, do not sound a trumpet before yourself as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may have the praise of people. Truly 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 gift may be given in secret. Then your Father who sees in secret will reward 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.
When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners, so that they may be seen by people. Truly 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 your inner chamber. Shut the door, and pray to your Father who is in secret. Then your Father who sees 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.
When you pray, do not make useless repetitions as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard because of their many words.
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 what things you need before you ask him.
9 “Bita' tie aduwa toyi; Tre: Iti mbu wa a he shulua, ndu san me tsratsra me,
Therefore pray like this: 'Our Father in heaven, may your name be sanctified.
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 on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Nnota rli u vi luwa.
Give us today our daily bread.
12 U latre mbu uka uru hle tawu, towa kie uruhle ni bari'a.
Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven 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
Do not bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.'
14 “E bita wru latre ndi hle bawu, itie mbi ni shulu ni wruhle yiwu ngame.
For if you forgive people their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15 “Biti na wru latre ndi hle bawu na, u tie mbi na wruhle yiwu ngame na.
But if you do not forgive 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.
When you fast, do not have a mournful face as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces so that they may appear to people as fasting. Truly I say to you, they have received their reward.
17 To, biyi', bita si vu nyu, ngla shishi mbi di gban nye ni tu mbi.
But 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 it would not appear to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees 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 store up for yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust destroy, 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 moth nor rust destroys, 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 will your heart be also.
22 “Ikpan u kpa ahi shishi. Shishi mbi nita bii, u kpa' mbi wawuu ani shu ni kpan.
The eye is the lamp of the body. Therefore, if your eye is good, the whole body is 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 is bad, your whole body is full of darkness. Therefore, if the light that is in you is actually darkness, how great is that darkness!
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 can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be devoted to 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?
Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink—or about your body, what you will wear. For is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?
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 at the birds in the air. They do not sow or reap or gather into barns, but your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not more valuable than they are?
27 “Ahi nha mbi ni tu tamre ma ani to nzu gbron ma ko tsame?
Which one of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his lifespan?
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.
Why are you anxious about clothing? Think about the lilies in the fields, how they grow. They do not work, and they do not spin cloth.
29 Me hla yiwu sulema me ni gbugbu kpi ma mba he wo ma me na bii mla ni ri biyi na.
Yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed 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.
If God so clothes the grass in the fields, which exists today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, 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 do not be anxious and say, 'What will we eat?' or, 'What will we drink?' or, 'What clothes will we wear?'
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 search for these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
33 Wa mulki Rji ni mumla mba inkon matsratsra rli u mbru kpi biyi ba nno nha yiwu.
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness and all these things will be given 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 itself. Each day has enough evil of its own.
