Matthew 6
1 TAKE heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
“Kamutaliboneshanga kwinsa ncito shaina pamenso abantu kwambeti bamubone, mwenseco, nteti mukatambulepo cilambo kuli Bameshenu balikwilu.
2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their 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 thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
Nomba obe wanyamfwanga bapenshi, munobe ngoli nendi pepi kabatenshiba sobwe.
4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
Wenseco, bipo byankumbo byakobe nukabinshibe wenka. Lino Baiso bakute kubona byasolekwa nibakakupe cilambo.”
5 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 of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their 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 thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
Nomba obe wayandanga kupaila, ingila mucimpetela, cala cisasa, upaile kuli Baiso bataboneke, Baiso bakute kubona byasolekwa nibakakupe cilambo.
7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
Pacindi ncomulapailinga, kamutambanga maswi amo amo, mbuli ncobakute kwinsa bantu batamwinshi Lesa. Balo bakute kuyeyeti bafulishanga byakwamba empwelela kubanyumfwa Lesa.
8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
Nomba amwe kamutabangeti endibo, pakwinga Bameshenu babinshi mbyomwabula, kamutana mubasenga.
9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Ecebo cakendi amwe pakupaila kamwambangeti, Bameshetu omuli kwilu, lina lyenu lilemekwe,
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in 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 forgive our debtors.
Mutulekeleleko bwipishi bwetu, mbuli nenjafwe ncotukute kubalekelelako bakute kutwipishila,
13 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.
Kamutasuminisha kwambeti tuwile mukweleshewa, Nsombi tukwabilileni kuli Waipa usa. “Pakwinga Bwami ne ngofu kayi ne bulemeneno ni bwenu kwamuyayaya. Ameni
14 For if ye 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 ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Nomba na nkamulekelele bantu bwipishi bwabo, nabo Bameshenu nteti bakamulekelele bwipishi bwenu sobwe.”
16 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their 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 thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;
Nomba obe walikanishanga kulya, samba kumenso, ne kusakula cena mishishi ku mutwi,
18 That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
kwambeti bantu kabatenshibeti ulalikanishinga kulya, nsombi Baiso bataboneke ebelela kwinshiba bonka. Abo Baiso bakute kubona byasolekwa mbyolenshi nibakakupe cilambo.”
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
“Kamutalibunjikila buboni pacishi capanshi pano, apo mpobukute kubumbwa muswa, nambi kuba ne ndala, kayi nabo bakabwalala, mpobakute kwingila ne kwiba.
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor 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 will your heart be also.
Pakwinga kowabika buboni bwakobe, moyo wakobe ukute kauli kopeloko.”
22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
“Menso elampi ya mubili na menso kalicena, mubili wakobe wonse ukute kauli wakwana kumunikilwa.
23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be 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 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 mammon.
“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 say unto you, Take no thought 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 meat, and the body than raiment?
“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 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?
Kamubonani bikeni, nkabikute kubyala mbuto, nambi kutebula ne kubika mulyanga sobwe, nomba Bameshenu bakwilu bakute kubilyesha. Sena amwe nkamwayandika kupita bikeni?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
Niyani mulinjamwe wayakamwa ne buyumi, wela kucikonsha kunungako busuba bumowa ku buyumi bwakendi?”
28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
“Inga mukute kushilacani mano ku byakufwala? Bonani maluba amucisuwa mwakute kukulila, nkakute kusebensa, nambi kulyanina bikwisa sobwe.
29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Nomba ndamwambilinga mwami Solomoni, nambi walikuba mubile, uliyawa kufwalapo byakufwala byabekema mbuli maluba.
30 Wherefore, if God so clothe 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?
Lino na Lesa kacikonsha kufwalika mila yamucisuwa, iyo ikute kubakowa lelo, lilo nikwitenta mulilo, Lesa ngaubula kumufwalika sena akaka! Mobalushomo lung'anamwe!”
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
“Ecebo cakendi kamutayakamwanga ne kwambeti, ‘Inga lelo nindicicane kupeyo cakulya’ Nambi ‘cakunwa’ Nambi ‘cakufwala?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek: ) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
Ibi nibintu mbyobakute kuyakamwa bantu batamwinshi Lesa. Amwe Bameshenu ba kwilu bacinshi kwambeti nenjamwe mulabiyandanga bintu ibi.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Nomba amwe nanshi mulangaule Bwami bwa Lesa, ne bululami bwakendi, nabimbi ibi Lesa nakamubikilepo.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Neco nkabayakamwa ne byalilo, byalilo nibyalilo. Busuba bulibonse bukute makatasho abo.”
