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.
“Kamutaliboneshanga kwinsa ncito shaina pamenso abantu kwambeti bamubone, mwenseco, nteti mukatambulepo cilambo kuli Bameshenu balikwilu.
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.
Neco mwapanga cintu ciliconse kumuntu laciyandanga, kamutaliboneshanga mbuli mobakute kwinshila bantu bandemishibili basa mumanda akupaililamo, ne munshila sha muminshi, balo bakute kwinseco kwambeti bantu bababone ne kubalumbaisha. Nditu ndamwambilishingeti abo balatambulililimo cilambo cabo.
3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
Nomba obe wanyamfwanga bapenshi, munobe ngoli nendi pepi kabatenshiba sobwe.
4 so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
Wenseco, bipo byankumbo byakobe nukabinshibe wenka. Lino Baiso bakute kubona byasolekwa nibakakupe cilambo.”
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.
Mwapailanga kamutensanga mbuli bandemi shibili basa ncobakute kwinsa, balo bakute kuyanda kupaila kabali bemana mumanda akupaililamo, ne pamampambano anshila kwambeti bantu bababone. Cakubinga balo balatambulili limo cilambo
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.
Nomba obe wayandanga kupaila, ingila mucimpetela, cala cisasa, upaile kuli Baiso bataboneke, Baiso bakute kubona byasolekwa nibakakupe cilambo.
7 And when you pray, do not babble on like pagans, for they think that by their many words they will be heard.
Pacindi ncomulapailinga, kamutambanga maswi amo amo, mbuli ncobakute kwinsa bantu batamwinshi Lesa. Balo bakute kuyeyeti bafulishanga byakwamba empwelela kubanyumfwa Lesa.
8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.
Nomba amwe kamutabangeti endibo, pakwinga Bameshenu babinshi mbyomwabula, kamutana mubasenga.
9 So then, this is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.
Ecebo cakendi amwe pakupaila kamwambangeti, Bameshetu omuli kwilu, lina lyenu lilemekwe,
10 Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Bwami bwenu bwise, Kuyanda kwenu kwinshike. Panshi pano mbuli ncekubele kwilu,
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
Mutupe lelo cakulya cetu ca masuba onse.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
Mutulekeleleko bwipishi bwetu, mbuli nenjafwe ncotukute kubalekelelako bakute kutwipishila,
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’
Kamutasuminisha kwambeti tuwile mukweleshewa, Nsombi tukwabilileni kuli Waipa usa. “Pakwinga Bwami ne ngofu kayi ne bulemeneno ni bwenu kwamuyayaya. Ameni
14 For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
Cakubinga na mulekelela bantu bwipishi bwabo, Bameshenu ba kwilu nabo nibakamulekelele.
15 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive yours.
Nomba na nkamulekelele bantu bwipishi bwabo, nabo Bameshenu nteti bakamulekelele bwipishi bwenu sobwe.”
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.
“Mwalikanishanga kulya, kamutabonekanga kungumana pamenso. mbuli ncobakute kwinsa bandemi shibili basa, balo bakute kwipisha pamenso kwambeti bantu bababoneti balikanishinga kulya. Cakubinga, balatambulililimo cilambo cabo.
17 But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,
Nomba obe walikanishanga kulya, samba kumenso, ne kusakula cena mishishi ku mutwi,
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.
kwambeti bantu kabatenshibeti ulalikanishinga kulya, nsombi Baiso bataboneke ebelela kwinshiba bonka. Abo Baiso bakute kubona byasolekwa mbyolenshi nibakakupe cilambo.”
19 Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
“Kamutalibunjikila buboni pacishi capanshi pano, apo mpobukute kubumbwa muswa, nambi kuba ne ndala, kayi nabo bakabwalala, mpobakute kwingila ne kwiba.
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.
Neco kamubunganyani buboni bwenu kwilu, uko kwabula muswa nambi ndala, uko kabwalala nkwela kwalilwa kwingila ne kuyakwiba.
21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Pakwinga kowabika buboni bwakobe, moyo wakobe ukute kauli kopeloko.”
22 The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light.
“Menso elampi ya mubili na menso kalicena, mubili wakobe wonse ukute kauli wakwana kumunikilwa.
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!
Nomba na menso akobe nkalipo cena, na mumuni mulinjobe usanduka kuba mushinshe. Lino akute aba citatiko ca mushinshe washipa mbii!”
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.
“Muntu nkela kusebensela bantu babili pacindi cimo, pakwinga ngaupelapo umo, ne kusunako naumbi, nakashomeke kuli umo, ne kusampula naumbi. Nkamwelela kusebensela Lesa, ne buboni pacindi cimo.”
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?
“Ecebo cakendi ndamwambilingeti kamutayakamwanga ne buyumi bwenu, kwambeti nitukalye cani, nambi nitukanwe cani? Nambi nitukafwale cani, sena buyumi bwenu nkabwapita cakulya? Nambi mubili nkawapita byakufwala?
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?
Kamubonani bikeni, nkabikute kubyala mbuto, nambi kutebula ne kubika mulyanga sobwe, nomba Bameshenu bakwilu bakute kubilyesha. Sena amwe nkamwayandika kupita bikeni?
27 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
Niyani mulinjamwe wayakamwa ne buyumi, wela kucikonsha kunungako busuba bumowa ku buyumi bwakendi?”
28 And why do you worry about clothes? Consider how the lilies of the field grow: They do not labor or spin.
“Inga mukute kushilacani mano ku byakufwala? Bonani maluba amucisuwa mwakute kukulila, nkakute kusebensa, nambi kulyanina bikwisa sobwe.
29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.
Nomba ndamwambilinga mwami Solomoni, nambi walikuba mubile, uliyawa kufwalapo byakufwala byabekema mbuli maluba.
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?
Lino na Lesa kacikonsha kufwalika mila yamucisuwa, iyo ikute kubakowa lelo, lilo nikwitenta mulilo, Lesa ngaubula kumufwalika sena akaka! Mobalushomo lung'anamwe!”
31 Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
“Ecebo cakendi kamutayakamwanga ne kwambeti, ‘Inga lelo nindicicane kupeyo cakulya’ Nambi ‘cakunwa’ Nambi ‘cakufwala?
32 For the Gentiles strive after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
Ibi nibintu mbyobakute kuyakamwa bantu batamwinshi Lesa. Amwe Bameshenu ba kwilu bacinshi kwambeti nenjamwe mulabiyandanga bintu ibi.
33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.
Nomba amwe nanshi mulangaule Bwami bwa Lesa, ne bululami bwakendi, nabimbi ibi Lesa nakamubikilepo.
34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.
Neco nkabayakamwa ne byalilo, byalilo nibyalilo. Busuba bulibonse bukute makatasho abo.”
