< Mathayo 6 >

1 “Beduru motangʼ mondo kik utim timbeu makare e nyim ji, mondo eka gineu. Kutimo kamano to ok ubi yudo pok moa kuom Wuonu manie polo.
"Be careful not to do your good deeds in the sight of men, in order to be observed by them. If you do, you have no reward with your heavenly Father.
2 “Kuom mano kuchiwo kony ne joma ochando to kik uland gima utimo gi turumbete, kaka joma wuondore timo ei sinagoke kendo e yore manie kind mier, mondo ji omigi luor. Awachonu adier ni giseyudo pokgi duto.
"And whatever you give alms, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and streets, in order that men may praise them. In solemn truth I tell you they already have their reward in full.
3 To kichiwo kony ne joma ochando to kik iyie lweti ma koracham ongʼe gima lweti ma korachwich timo,
"But when you give alms, do not let your right hand know what your left is doing,
4 mondo chiwo mari obed malingʼ-lingʼ. Eka Wuonu maneno gima ochiw lingʼ-lingʼ nomiyi pokni.
"so that your alms may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
5 “Bende ka ulamo, to kik uchal gi joma wuondore, nimar gihero lamo ka gichungʼ ei sinagoke, kendo e akek yore mondo ji onegi. Awachonu adier ni giseyudo pokgi duto.
"And whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the corners of the avenues, in order that men may see them. In solemn truth I tell you that they have their reward in full.
6 To kilamo to donji e odi maiye, ilor dhoot eka ilam Wuonu ma ok ne. Eka Wuonu maneno gima otim lingʼ-lingʼ nomiyi pokni.
"But you, when you pray, go into your own room and shut your door; pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
7 To kulamo to kik usik kunuoyo weche kayiem kaka jopiny, nimar giparo ni ibiro winjgi nikech wechegi mathoth.
"While praying do not say the same words over and over again, as the Gentiles do, for they suppose that by their much speaking they will gain attention.
8 Kik uchal kodgi, nikech Wuonu ongʼeyo gik muchando kata kapok ukwaye.
"Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
9 “Koro kama e kaka onego ulam: “‘Wuonwa manie polo, nyingi mondo omi duongʼ,
"So pray in this way. "Our Father who art in heaven, May thy name be hallowed,
10 Pinyruoth mari obi, dwaroni mondo otimre e piny kaka timore e polo.
thy kingdom come, and thy will be done, On earth, as in heaven.
11 Miwa kawuono chiembwa mapile pile.
Give us today our bread for the day before us;
12 Wenwa richowa, kaka wan bende waweyone joma timonwa marach.
And forgive us our debts as we also have forgiven our debtors;
13 Bende kik iwe wadonj e tem, to reswa e lwet ngʼat marach.’
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the Evil One; For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory. Amen.
14 Nimar ka uweyo ne ji ka gikethonu, eka Wuonu manie polo biro weyonu.
"For if you forgive men their offenses against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you also;
15 To ka ok uwe ni ji richogi to wuonu manie polo ok bi weyonu richou.
"but if you do not forgive men your offenses, neither will your heavenly Father forgive you your offenses.
16 “Ka utweyo chiemo to kik unen malich kaka joma wuondore timo, nimar gimieno wengegi mondo ginyis ni gitweyo chiemo. Awachonu adier ni giseyudo pokgi duto.
"When you fast, do not look downcast like the hypocrites; for they disfigure their faces so that it may be apparent to men that they are fasting. In solemn truth I tell you, they already have received their reward.
17 To in, kitweyo chiemo to ol mo e wiyi kendo luok wangʼi,
"But when one of you fasts, let him anoint his head and wash his face,
18 mondo kik obed gima ongʼere ne ji ni itweyo chiemo, to Wuonu ma ok ne kende ema ongʼe. Eka Wuonu maneno gima otim lingʼ-lingʼ nomiyi pokni.
"so that he may not appear to men to be fasting, but to his Father who is in secret; and his Father who sees in secret will reward him.
19 “Kik ukan mwandu ne un uwegi e piny kama olwenda gi nyal kethoe gik moko, kendo kama jokwoge turoe kendo kweloe.
"Store up for yourselves no treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal;
20 To kanuru mwandu magu e polo kama olwenda kata nyal ok kethie gik moko kendo jokuo ok turie ma kwelie,
"but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal.
21 Nimar kama mwanduni nitie e kama chunyi bende nobedie.
"For wherever your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22 “Wangʼ e taya mar ringri. Ka wengeni neno maber to ringri duto opongʼ gi ler.
"The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore if your eye is sound, your whole body will be well lighted;
23 To ka wengeni richo to ringri duto biro pongʼ gi mudho. Omiyo ka ler manie iyi en mudho, to mano kaka en mudho maduongʼ miwuoro!
"but if your eye is unsound, your whole body will be darkened. If then the very light within you is darkness, how dense is that darkness!
24 “Onge jatich manyalo tiyo ne ruodhi ariyo. Nimar obiro chayo achiel to ohero machielo, kata obiro chiwore ne achiel to ochayo machielo. Ok inyal tiyo ne Nyasaye kendo ne pesa.
"No slave can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will pay heed to the one and despise the other. You cannot be the slaves both of God and of gold.
25 “Emomiyo awachonu ni, kik uparru kuom ngimau, kata kuom gik ma ubiro chamo kata madho; kata kuom dendu kata gik ma ubiro rwako. Donge ngima duongʼ moloyo chiemo, koso del donge duongʼ moloyo lewni?
"For this reason I say to you, do not be anxious about your life, inquiring what you shall eat or what you shall drink, nor yet for your body, inquiring what you shall wear. Is not your life more than its food, and your body than its clothing?
26 Ranguru ane winy ma huyo e kor polo. Ok chwo cham to bende ok gikee kata giken e dere, to eka Wuonu manie polo pod pidhogi apidha. To un donge un gi nengo mamalo moloyogi?
"Behold! the birds in the sky! They neither sow, nor reap, nor gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them; and are not you worth more than they?
27 En ngʼa kuomu ma parruok moparorego nyalo miyo omed bedo mangima kata mana kuom sa achiel kende?
"Which one of you by being anxious is able to add even one cubit to his stature?
28 “Koso uparoru ne wach lewni nangʼo? Neyeuru kaka ondanyo mag pap dongo. Ok ginyagre gi tich kata gi chwecho.
"Why be anxious then about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They toil not, neither do they spin.
29 To kata kamano awachonu ni kata mana Solomon e rwakruokne malich duto ne ok orwakore ka achiel kuomgi.
"But I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory was robed like one of these.
30 Ka kamano e kaka Nyasaye rwako lum aluma manie pap, ma kawuono nitie to kiny iwite e mach, donge obiro rwakou maber moloyo, yaye un joma yiegi tin-gi?
"If God then so clothes the grass of the field, which blooms today, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, you of little faith?
31 Omiyo kik uparru kuwacho ni, ‘Wabiro chamo angʼo?’ Kata ni, ‘Wabiro madho angʼo?’ Kata ni, ‘Wabiro rwako angʼo?’
"Then do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’"
32 Nimar jopiny ema chandore ka dwaro gigi duto; to bende Wuonu manie polo ongʼeyo ni udwaro gigi duto.
"For all these are things that the Gentiles are eagerly seeking; for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of them all.
33 To mokwongo, dwaruru pinyruoth Nyasaye kod timne makare eka gigi duto bende nomiu kaachiel gi mago.
"But continue to seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
34 Kuom mano, kik uparru kuom kiny, nikech kiny noparre kuome owuon. Odiechiengʼ kodiechiengʼ nigi chandruokne morome.
"Do not then be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own anxieties. Enough for each day are its own troubles."
