Matthew 6
1 “Be careful not to perform your righteous acts before men to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
Mu mamele kuti kanji mu citi inkezo zo vulotu vwenu havusu vwa vantu kuti mu voniwe ku vali, heva njovulyo kete mu wane mupuzo kwe shenu wina kwi wulu.
2 So when you give to the needy, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward.
Cwale ha muha intuso, kanji mu lizi mpeta ha vusu vwenu mu va citila ba lihele muma sinagoge ni makululu, kuti va lumbiwe ku vantu. Ca buniti ni mi wambila, ci vava tambuli mupuzo wavo.
3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
Kono ho ha intuso, kanji u zuminini iyanza lwako lya cimonso kwi ziva cili panga iyanza lyako lya cilyo,
4 so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
njikuti i intuso yako yoha i hewe vulipatite. Cwale Iso yo vona zi patitwe mwa ku vozekeze.
5 And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward.
Mi hamu lapera, kanji mu swani uvu va lihele, va saka kuzimana ni ku lapera mu masinagoge ni mu ma cailo a migwagwa, kuti va voniwe vantu. Luli ni mi wambila niti; ci va va tambili mipuzo yabo.
6 But when you pray, go into your inner room, shut your door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
Kono iwe, co lapera, wi njile mu malivela, imi ci we yala ciyazo, u lapere kweso wina ku mbali; imi Iso yo vona ku mbali, mwa ku vozekeze.
7 And when you pray, do not babble on like pagans, for they think that by their many words they will be heard.
Ci mu lapera, kanji mu boleli boleli zi sena intuso uvu mu ba citila va sa zumini; va nahana kuti va wola ku zuwiwa caku wamba wamba ahulu kwabo.
8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.
Hakuva vulyo, kanji mu swani na vo; kakuli Ishenu wizi zi mu vulite, ni mu seni ku mu kumbila.
9 So then, this is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.
Ci kwina vulyo mu lapele vuti, 'Ishetu wina mwi wulu' ku lumbiwe izina lyako. vu simwine vwako vwize.
10 Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Ci sakiwa kwako ci tendahale hansi mu ci nani mwi wulu.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
Tuhe sunu zilyo ze zuva ni zuva.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
U kwatile milandu yetu, uvu naswe mu tu ba kwatili va vatu fosezi.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’
Hape kanji utu twali mu muliko, kono utu lukulule ku muntu muvi.
14 For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
Mi ho kwatila vantu zi va ku fosekeza, ni Iso mwi wulu naye mwaku kwatile.
15 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive yours.
Kono ho sa kwatili vamwi zi vaku fosekeza, niheli Iso kete na kukwatile zo mu fosekeza.
16 When you fast, do not be somber like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces to show men they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward.
Imi, hape ho li nyima zilyo, kanji u linyanisi cifateho cako, ubu mu vacitila va lihele, va linyanisa zifateho njikuti va voneke ku vantu kuti vena ha ku linyima zilyo. Faa ni ku rwira, ci va va tambuli mipuzo yavo.
17 But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,
Kono iwe ho lilinyima zilyo, uli singe mafuta ku mutwi ni ku samba ku cifateho caku.
18 so that your fasting will not be obvious to men, but only to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
Nji kuti kanji u vonahali ku vantu kuti wina ha kuli nyima zilyo, kono konji kweso wina kumbali. Mi iso yo vona kumbali, mwaku vozekeze.
19 Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
Kanji uli kunganyizi cifumu ca hansi, hena mafele ni mafumi a wola kuci lya, ni hena vasa va wola kutulula mwateni ni ku iva.
20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
Kono, u likunganyize cifumu umwine kwi wulu ku sena mafele ni mafumi alya hateni, hasena ni vasa va wola ku tulula ni ku iva.
21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Kakuli hena cifumu cako nji hena inkulo yako.
22 The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light.
Linso nji lambi lya muvili. Cikwina vulyo, heva linso lyako li vona hande, muvili wako onse mu uve mwiseli.
23 But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
Heva linso lyako li towele, ni muvili wako wonse wina mucinzime. Cikwina vulyo, heva iseli lina kwako lina luli mucinzime, cikando vule ico cinzime!
24 No one can serve two masters: Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
Kakwina muntu yete na tendele vasimwine vovele, hesi ka toye yenke ni ku saka zumwi, kamba mwa kuteke yenke ni ku shwaula zumwi. Koti co wola ku tendela Ireza ni cifumu.
25 Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?
Ci kwina vulyo ni ku wambila, kanji u vilaeli ni za vuhalo vwako, cete ulye ni cete uñwe, kambe kaza mubili wako, cete u zwate. njikuti vuhalo kavu hiti zilyo, ni muvili kuhita zizwato?
26 Look at the birds of the air: They do not sow or reap or gather into barns—and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
Mu lole zizuni za mwibyumbyulu. Kazi vyali kazi sinzi kamba ku vika zi kutulwa mu ciduli; kono Ishenu wina kwi wulu uzi lela. Aho inwe kana muva tokwa ahulu ku zi zamba?
27 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
Njeni kwenu yo wola ku vulaela ku ekeza ku vuhalo vwakwe? Cwale cinzi hamu vilela ni za kuzwata?
28 And why do you worry about clothes? Consider how the lilies of the field grow: They do not labor or spin.
Mu hupule nanga ziyangayanga za mu mawa, mu zi menena. Kazi tendi, kazi hosi vwanda.
29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.
Kono ni mi wambila niti, nanga Salumoni munkanya yakwe kana ava zwati niheva ku likana ni lyoke lyao.
30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
Heva Ireza u zwatika lyani lya mumawa, lihala sunu ni zona lici li sohelwa mwi ziko, ku woleka vule ku zwatika inwe, inwe muve ntumelo inini?
31 Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
Ni ha kwina vulyo kanji mu vileli ni muti, 'Mu tulye nzi?' kamba 'Mutu ñywe nzi?' kamba 'Mutu zwate zizwato nzi?'
32 For the Gentiles strive after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
Vantu vasa zimini nji va saka izi zintu, imi ishenu wa kwiwulu wizi kale zimu saka.
33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.
Kono pili musake vusimwine ni ku shiyama kwabo imi zintu zonse ka muzihewe.
34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.
Cikwina bulyo, kanji mu vileli ni ze zona, mukuti izona li vilela ni zalyo. Izuva limwi ni limwi lilikenwe vuvi vwalyo.
