Matthew 6
1 “Be careful not to do your charitable giving before the people so as to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father who is in the heavens.
“Mwiteiganje nnatendanje indu ya mmbone pa bhandu nkupinga bhammonanje. Nngabha nneyo, Ainabhenunji bha kunnungu bhakampanganga upo.
2 Therefore, whenever you do charitable giving do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be praised by the people. Assuredly I say to you, they already have their reward.
“Bhai, punkunnjangutila jwangali shindu, nnagombe mmbila. Nnatende malinga shibhaatendanga bhagulumba mmashinagogi na mmipanda, nkupinga bhalumbililwanje na bhandunji. Kweli ngunakunnugulilanga, bhene bhanganyabho bhapatilenje upo yabhonji.
3 But when you do charitable giving do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
Ikabheje punkunnjangutila mundu jwangali shindu, nkali mundu jwa tome na mmwe, anamumanye inkutenda.
4 so that your charitable giving may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself repay you openly.
Nshoye mbepei yenu kwa nng'iyo, na Ainabhenu bhakwiibhona indu ya nng'iyo, shibhanng'upe.
5 And whenever you pray do not be like the hypocrites; for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners, so that they may be seen by the people. Assuredly I say to you that they already have their reward.
“Punkwaajuganga a Nnungu, nnatendanje malinga bhagulumba. Pabha bhanganyabho, pubhajuganga bhanaapinganga kujima mmashinagogi na nnyenje mipanda nkupinga bhalolwanje na bhandunji. Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, bhalabhonji bhapatilenje upo yabhonji.
6 But you, whenever you pray, go into your room, and having shut the door pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will repay you openly.
Ikabheje mmwe punkwaajuga a Nnungu, nnjinjile kukati jenu, nng'ugale nnango, mwaajuje Ainabhenu bhakabhonekana. Na bhalabho Ainabhenu bhakwibhona indu ya nng'iyo, shibhanng'upe.
7 “But when you pray do not babble like the heathen; for they think that they will be heard for their many words.
“Punkwaajuganga a Nnungu, nnajobhelanje malinga bhandunji bhangabha Bhayaudi. Pabha pubhaaganishiyanga kuti a Nnungu shibhaapilikanilanje kwa ligongo lya gwinji gwa malobhe gabhonji.
8 So do not be like them, because your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.
Nnabhanganje malinga bhanganyabho. Pabha Ainabhenunji bhaimanyi inkupinganga, nkali nkanabhe kwaajuganga.
9 Therefore, you pray like this: ‘Our Father who is in the heavens, let Your name be reverenced;
Bhai, nnjuganje nnei, ‘Atati nni kunnungu, Lina lyenu likuywe.
10 let Your kingdom come, let Your will be done, on the earth just as in heaven.
Upalume gwenu guishe. Linkupinga mmwe litendeshe pa shilambolyo malinga shiikutendeka kunnunguko.
11 Give us today our daily bread;
Ntupe lelo shalya sha togolela lelo.
12 and forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.
Ntuleshelele itulebhile, malinga na uwe shitukwaaleshelelanga bhatulebhilenje.
13 And do not bring us into testing, but rescue us from the evil one; because Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.’
Nnatubhishe mmalinjilo, ikabheje ntuembuye naka Lishetani jula. Pabha upalume ni gwenu na mashili na ukonjelo pitipiti. Amina.’
14 For if you forgive people their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
“Pabha Mwaaleshelelangaga bhandu ibhannebhilenje, nneyo peyo Ainabhenunji bha kunnungu shibhanneshelelanje innebhilenje.
15 But if you do not forgive people their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Ikabheje nkaaleshelelanje bhandunji yambi yabhonji, na bhalabho Ainabhenunji bhakanneshelelanga innebhilenje.
16 “Also, whenever you fast do not become gloomy like the hypocrites, because they disfigure their faces so that people will notice that they are fasting. Assuredly I say to you that they already have their reward.
“Punkutabhanga, nnaumalanje kumeyo malinga bhagulumba. Bhanaumalanga kumeyo nkupinga bhabhonekanje na bhandu kuti bhashitabhanga. Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga bhanganyabho, bhapatilenje upo yabhonji.
17 But when you fast anoint your head and wash your face,
Ikabheje mmwe punkutabha, nnabhe kumeyo na mpakale mauta muntwe.
18 so that you do not appear to the people to be fasting, but to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will repay you.
Nkupinga bhandunji bhanamumanyanje kuti nnatabha, ikabheje mmanyishepe na Ainabhenu bhakaabhoneka, nabhalabho Ainabhenu bhakwiibhona ya nng'iyo shibhanng'upe.
19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust ruin and where thieves break in and steal;
“Nnaibhishilanje shibhiko pa shilambolyo pano, ipukuu na nkubha inaangabhanya na bhagwii bhanakaaanga nijibha.
20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust ruins and where thieves neither break in nor steal;
Ikabhe mwibhishilanje indu yenunji kunnungu kwikaangabhanika na ipukuu na nkubha, nkali bhagwii bhakakaanga nijibha.
21 because where your treasure is there your heart will be also.
Pabha pushili shibhiko shenu, na ntima gwenu shugubhe popo.
22 “The lamp of the body is the eye. So if your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light.
“Liyo mbuti kandili ja shiilu, bhai liyo libhaga lyalikoto, shililangaye shiilu shenu showe.
23 But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be full of darkness. So if the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
Ikabheje liyo libhaga lilwele shiilu shenu showe shishibhe nnubhindu. Bhai, ibhaga shilangaya shili nkati jenu shilepelaga kulangaya, shilubhe lubhindu lwa punda!
24 “No one is able to serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.
“Jwakwa ntumwa akombola kwaatumishilanga bhakulungwanji bhabhili, pabha shanshime jumo nikumpinga junajo, eu shalongane naka jumo nikumpetekuya junajo. Nkakombola kwaatumishila a Nnungu na tumishila mali.
25 Therefore, I say to you not to worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?
“Kwa nneyo ngunakummalanjilanga, nnakolanje lipamba ga gumi gwenunji, kuti nniyanganje nndi eu mpapilanje nndi, wala ga iilu yenunji kuti nng'walanje nndi. Bhuli, gumi ukapunda shalya? Bhuli, shiilu shikapunda iwalo?
26 Look at the birds of the air, that they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not superior to them?
Mwilolanje ijuni ya mukonde, ikapanda, wala ikauna na wala yangali nngokwe jojowe. Nkali nneyo Ainabhenunji bha kunnungu bhanakwiiliya. Bhuli, mmanganyanji nngabha mmammbonenji kupunda ijuniyo?
27 And which of you can add one cubit to his stature by worrying?
Gani munkumbi gwenunji kwa kola lipamba kwakwe anakombola kwijenjesheya kapela lyubha limo lya mobha gakwe galama?
28 And why do you worry about clothes? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither labor nor spin,
“Kwa nndi kola lipamba ga iwalo? Nnolanje malubha ga mukonde shigakutikonja? Gakakamula liengo wala gakapota.
29 and yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was arrayed like one of these.
Ikabheje ngunakummalanjilanga, nkali a Mpalume a Shelemani bhayene na yowe ibhaakwete bhangawashwa kwa konja malinga lilubha limo.
30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which exists today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, you little-faiths?
Bhai ibhaga a Nnungu bhanakuliwasha liamba lya mmigunda, lelo lipali na malabhi lilileshelwa pa lituto lya moto, bhuli bhakapunda kunng'washanga mmanganyanji? Mmanganya nkwetenje ngulupai jishoko.
31 Therefore do not worry saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
“Bhai, nnakolanje lipamba, ‘Shitulye indi eu shitupapile indi eu shituwale indi!’
32 For the pagans seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need each of these things.
Pabha bhandu bhakakwaamanyanga a Nnungu bhanaabhushilanga yene yoweyo. Ainabhenunji bhali kunnungu bhamumanyi kuti nnakwiipinganga indu yoweyo.
33 Rather, seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Ikabhe, nnoleyanje oti Upalume gwa a Nnungu na aki jabho na gene gowego, a Nnungu shibhannjenjesheyanje.
34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own affairs. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Bhai, nnaabhushilanje ya malabhi, pabha malabhi shigaiabhushile gayene. Shilaje sha lyubha limo shinatogolela kwa lyubha lyolyo.
