Matthew 6
1 “Take heed not to do your kindness before men, to be seen by them, and if not—you have no reward from your Father who [is] in the heavens;
Bosala keba ete bosalelaka te bosembo na bino liboso ya bato, mpo ete bamona bino; soki te, bokozanga lifuti oyo Tata na bino ya Likolo abombela bino.
2 whenever, therefore, you may do kindness, you may not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do, in the synagogues, and in the streets, that they may have glory from men; truly I say to you, they have their reward!
Tango ozali kokabela babola, kobetela yango tangwa te ndenge bato ya bilongi mibale basalaka kati na bandako ya mayangani mpe na babalabala mpo ete bato bakumisa bango. Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: basili kozwa lifuti na bango.
3 But you, doing kindness, do not let your left hand know what your right hand does,
Kasi tango yo ozali kokabela babola, sala yango na ndenge ete loboko na yo ya mwasi eyeba ete likambo oyo loboko na yo ya mobali ezali kosala,
4 that your kindness may be in secret, and your Father who is seeing in secret will reward you Himself.
mpo ete likabo na yo ya mawa etikala sekele; bongo Tata na yo, oyo amonaka makambo oyo esalemaka na nkuku, akopesa yo lifuti.
5 And when you may pray, you will not be as the hypocrites, because they cherish to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the broad places, that they may be seen of men; truly I say to you that they have their reward.
Tango bozali kosambela, bosalaka te lokola bato ya bilongi mibale oyo balingaka kosambela ya kotelema kati na bandako ya mayangani mpe na bisika oyo babalabala ekutana, mpo ete bato bamona bango. Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: basili kozwa lifuti na bango.
6 But you, when you may pray, go into your chamber, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who [is] in secret, and your Father who is seeing in secret will reward you.
Kasi yo, soki olingi kosambela, kota na shambre na yo, kanga ekuke mpe sambela Tata na yo, oyo azali kati na esika wana ya sekele; bongo Ye, Tata na yo, oyo amonaka makambo oyo esalemaka na nkuku, akopesa yo lifuti.
7 And—praying—you may not use vain repetitions like the nations, for they think that in their speaking much they will be heard,
Tango bozali kosambela, bozongelaka-zongelaka te maloba ndenge bapagano basalaka; pamba te bakanisaka ete Nzambe akoyanola bango soki balobi mingi.
8 therefore do not be like them, for your Father knows those things that you have need of before your asking Him;
Bosalaka lokola bango te, pamba te Tata na bino ayebi posa na bino liboso ete botalisa Ye yango.
9 therefore pray thus: Our Father who [is] in the heavens, hallowed be Your Name.
Tala ndenge nini bosengeli kosambela: ‹ Tata na biso, Yo oyo ozali kati na Likolo; tika ete Kombo na Yo ebulisama,
10 Your kingdom come, Your will come to pass, as in Heaven also on the earth.
tika ete Bokonzi na Yo eya, tika ete mokano na Yo esalema, awa na mokili ndenge esalemaka kuna na Likolo!
11 Give us today our appointed bread.
Pesa biso, na mokolo ya lelo, bilei na biso ya mokolo na mokolo;
12 And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.
limbisa mabe na biso, ndenge biso mpe tolimbisi bato oyo basalaki biso mabe;
13 And may You not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil [one], because Yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory—for all ages. Amen.
komema biso na komekama te, kasi kangola biso longwa na misala ya Satana; [pamba te bokonzi, nguya mpe nkembo ezali ya Yo seko na seko.] ›
14 For if you may forgive men their trespasses He also will forgive you—your Father who [is] in the heavens;
Pamba te soki bolimbisi baninga, na mabe oyo basali bino, Tata na bino ya Likolo mpe akolimbisa bino;
15 but if you may not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
kasi soki bolimbisi te, Tata na bino mpe akolimbisa te mabe na bino.
16 And when you may fast, do not be as the hypocrites, of sour countenances, for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear to men fasting; truly I say to you that they have their reward.
Tango bozali kokila bilei, bozalaka mawa-mawa te ndenge bato ya bilongi mibale basalaka; pamba te bakomisaka bilongi na bango mawa-mawa mpo na kolakisa na bato ete bazali kokila bilei. Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: basili kozwa lifuti na bango.
17 But you, fasting, anoint your head, and wash your face,
Kasi tango yo ozali kokila bilei, sukola elongi na yo malamu mpe pakola moto na yo malasi,
18 that you may not appear to men fasting, but to your Father who [is] in secret, and your Father, who is seeing in secret, will reward you.
mpo ete moto moko te ayeba ete ozali kokila bilei, longola kaka Tata na yo, oyo amonanaka te; bongo Ye, Tata na yo, oyo amonaka makambo oyo esalemaka na nkuku akopesa yo lifuti.
19 Do not treasure up to yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust disfigure, and where thieves break through and steal,
Bonduka bomengo te awa na mokili, pamba te ekoki kobeba to nselele ekoki kolia yango to mpe miyibi bakoki kobuka ndako mpo na koyiba yango.
20 but treasure up to yourselves treasures in Heaven, where neither moth nor rust disfigure, and where thieves do not break through nor steal,
Kasi bonduka bomengo na bino kati na Likolo epai wapi ekoki kobeba te to nselele ekoki kolia yango te to mpe miyibi bakoki kobuka ndako te mpo na koyiba yango;
21 for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
pamba te epai bomengo na yo ezali, kuna mpe motema na yo ekozala.
22 The lamp of the body is the eye, if, therefore, your eye may be perfect, all your body will be enlightened,
Miso ezali lokola mwinda ya nzoto. Soki miso na yo ezali malamu, nzoto na yo mobimba mpe ekozala kati na pole.
23 but if your eye may be evil, all your body will be dark; if, therefore, the light that [is] in you is darkness—the darkness, how great!
Kasi soki miso na yo ekufi, nzoto na yo mobimba mpe ekozala kati na molili. Bongo soki pole oyo ezali kati na yo ekomi molili, molili yango ekozala makasi penza.
24 None is able to serve two lords, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to the one, and despise the other; you are not able to serve God and wealth.
Moto moko te akoki kosalela bankolo mibale, pamba te akoyina moko mpe akolinga mosusu to akokangama na moko mpe akoboya mosusu. Bokoki te kosalela Nzambe mpe mbongo nzela moko.
25 Because of this I say to you, do not be anxious for your life, what you may eat, and what you may drink, nor for your body, what you may put on. Is not life more than nourishment, and the body than clothing?
Yango wana, nazali koloba na bino: bomitungisaka te na tina na bomoi na bino, na komituna: tokolia nini to tokomela nini? To na tina na banzoto na bino, na komituna: Tokolata nini? Boni, bomoi eleki bilei te na tina, mpe nzoto eleki bilamba te na tina?
26 Look to the birds of the sky, for they do not sow, nor reap, nor gather into storehouses, and your heavenly Father nourishes them; are you not much better than they?
Botala ndeke ya likolo: elonaka nkona te, ebukaka bambuma te, ebombaka bilei te kati na bibombelo; kasi Tata na bino ya Likolo aleisaka yango. Boni, bozali na motuya te koleka yango?
27 And who of you, being anxious, is able to add to his age one cubit?
Nani kati na bino, na nzela ya mitungisi na ye, akoki kobakisa ata ngonga moko na molayi ya bomoi na ye?
28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider well the lilies of the field; how do they grow? They do not labor, nor do they spin;
Bongo mpo na nini bomitungisaka mpo na bilamba ya kolata? Botala bafololo ya bilanga ndenge ekolaka! Esalaka te mpe etongaka bilamba te;
29 and I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed as one of these.
nzokande, nazali koloba na bino ya solo ete ata Salomo, kati na nkembo na ye nyonso, atikalaki kolata te lokola moko kati na yango.
30 And if the herb of the field, that today is, and tomorrow is cast into the furnace, God so clothes—not much more you, O you of little faith?
Soki Nzambe alatisaka ndenge wana matiti ya bilanga, oyo, na mokolo ya lelo, ezali na bomoi mpe, lobi, ekobwakama na moto, ekozala ndenge nini mpo na bino? Akolatisa bino te na ndenge ya kitoko koleka? Bato ya kondima moke!
31 Therefore you may not be anxious, saying, What may we eat? Or, What may we drink? Or, [With] what may we be clothed?
Yango wana, bomitungisaka te na koloba: ‹ Tokolia nini? Tokomela nini? Tokolata nini? ›
32 For the nations seek for all these, for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these;
Biloko wana nyonso, ezali bapagano nde balukaka-lukaka yango; kasi mpo na bino, Tata na bino ya Likolo ayebi malamu ete bozali na bosenga na yango.
33 but seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these will be added to you.
Bolukaka nde liboso Bokonzi ya Nzambe mpe bosembo na Ye, bongo bakobakisela bino biloko wana nyonso.
34 Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for its own things; sufficient for the day [is] the evil of it.”
Yango wana, bomitungisaka te mpo na mokolo ya lobi oyo ezali koya, pamba te mokolo yango ya lobi ekomitungisa na tina na yango moko: mokolo na mokolo ezali na pasi oyo ekoki na yango.
