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 ye do not your alms before men, to be seen by them: otherwise ye 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.
Therefore when thou doest thy alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Verily 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 when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
4 U ndu zizi mbi nihe rii'rii'; u itie mbi wa ani toh ni mbu'a ani hanyi dii mbi kima.
That thy alms may be in secret: and thy Father who seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
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 thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Verily I say to you, 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 thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret; and thy Father who seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
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.
But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8 Tomba bika na he to u mba na. 'E tiembi toh guci yiwu ikpie wa bi mye a.
Therefore, be ye not like them: for your Father knoweth what things ye need, before ye ask him.
9 “Bita' tie aduwa toyi; Tre: Iti mbu wa a he shulua, ndu san me tsratsra me,
After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 mulki ndu ye, ikpie wa u son ndu ba tiewu ni ngbugblu'a nawa ba tiewu ni shulu'a.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Nnota rli u vi luwa.
Give us this day our daily bread.
12 U latre mbu uka uru hle tawu, towa kie uruhle ni bari'a.
And forgive us our debts, as we 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 deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
14 “E bita wru latre ndi hle bawu, itie mbi ni shulu ni wruhle yiwu ngame.
For if ye forgive men 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 ye forgive not 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.
Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear to men to fast. Verily I say to you, They have their reward.
17 To, biyi', bita si vu nyu, ngla shishi mbi di gban nye ni tu mbi.
But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thy head, and wash thy 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 thou mayest not appear to men to fast, but to thy Father who is in secret: and thy Father, who seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
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;
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, 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 lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, 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 light of the body is the eye: if therefore thy eye is clear, thy whole body shall be full of 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 thy eye is bad, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee is 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 man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and riches.
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, Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than food, and the body than raiment?
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?
Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27 “Ahi nha mbi ni tu tamre ma ani to nzu gbron ma ko tsame?
Which of you by being anxious can 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 why are ye anxious for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither 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 yet I say to you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not 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.
Therefore, if God so clotheth the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye 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 be not anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, 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 after all these things do the Gentiles seek: ) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 Wa mulki Rji ni mumla mba inkon matsratsra rli u mbru kpi biyi ba nno nha yiwu.
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall 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 be not anxious for to morrow: for to morrow will be anxious for the things of itself. Sufficient to the day is its own evil.
