Matthew 6
1 do beware (now *no*) the (righteousness *N(K)O*) of you not [you are] to do before men in order to be seen by them; lest then except indeed reward not have you with the Father of you who [is] in the heavens.
“Mme elang tlhoko! Se direng tshiamo ya lona fa pele ga batho gore ba lo tlotle, fa lo dira jalo ga lona go bona tuelo e e tswang kwa go Rraeno yo o kwa legodimong.
2 When therefore you may do acts of charity, not may sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets so that they may have glory from men. Amen I say to you; they have the reward of them.
Fa o naya mokopi mpho, se bue kaga yone mo mpepeneneng jaaka baitimokanyi ba dira: ba letsa ditorompeta mo dikerekeng le mo mebileng ya motse gore ditiro tsa bone tsa lorato di tle di bonwe! Ke a lo bolelela ka pelo yotlhe, ba setse ba amogetse tuelo yotlhe, e ba neng ba tlaa e bona.
3 You however doing charity not should know the left [hand] of you what is doing the right [hand] of you
Mme fa o direla mongwe tshiamo, ka sephiri, se bolelele lebogo la gago la molema se se dirwang ke lebogo la moja.
4 so that may be your giving in secret. And the Father of you the [One] seeing in secret (himself *k*) will reward you (in public. *K*)
Mme Rraeno yo o itseng diphiri tsotlhe o tla go duela.
5 And when (you may pray, *N(K)O*) not (you will be *N(K)O*) (like *N(k)O*) the hypocrites, for they love [to be] in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets having stood to pray so that (maybe *k*) they may be seen by men. Amen I say to you (that: *k*) they have the reward of them.
“Mme jaanong kaga thapelo. Fa lo rapela, lo se ka lwa nna jaaka baitimokanyi ba ba ipaang jaaka o ka re ke ba ba obamelang Modimo ka go rapela mo ponong ya mongwe le mongwe mo makopanelong a mebila le mo dikerekeng mo ba ka bonwang ke mongwe le mongwe teng. Ammaaruri ke yone tuelo yotlhe e ba tlaa lalang ba e bonye.
6 You yourself however, when you may pray, do enter into the room of you, and having shut the door of you do pray to the Father of you in secret. And the Father of you the [One] seeing in secret will reward you (in public. *K*)
Mme fa o rapela, tsamaya o le nosi, o itswalele mo tlung mme o rapele Rraeno ka sephiri, mme Rraeno yo o itseng diphiri tsa gago, o tlaa go duela.
7 Praying now not may use vain repetitions like the pagans; they think for that in the many words of them they will be heard.
“Se, boaboele thapelo ya gago jaaka baheitane ba dira, ba ba gopolang gore dithapelo di arabiwa fela ka go boaboelwa. Gakologelwa gore Rrago o itse se tota o se tlhokang pele ga o mo kopa!
8 Not therefore may be like to them; has known for (the God *O*) the Father of you of what things need you have before your asking Him.
9 Thus therefore do pray you yourselves: Father of us you who [are] in the heavens, should be hallowed the name of You;
Rapelang jaana: ‘Rraetsho yo o kwa legodimong re tlotla leina la gago le le itshephileng.
10 should come the kingdom of You; should be [done] the will of You, as in heaven [so] also upon (the *k*) earth;
Re kopa gore bogosi jwa gago bo tle ka bofefo. A go rata ga gago go dirwe mono lefatshing jaaka go dirwa kwa legodimong.
11 The bread of us daily do grant us today;
Re neele dijo tsa rona gape gompieno jaaka malatsi otlhe.
12 And do forgive us the debts of us, as also we ourselves (forgive *N(k)O*) the debtors of us;
Mme o re itshwarele dibe tsa rona, jaaka re itshwaretse ba ba re leofetseng.
13 And not may you lead us into temptation, but do deliver us from the evil’ (Since of you is the kingdom and the power and the glory into the ages *K*) (Amen. *KO*)
Se re ise mo thaelong, mme o re golole mo go yo o bosula. Amen.’
14 If for you shall forgive men the trespasses of them, will forgive also you the Father of you Heavenly.
Rraeno wa Legodimo o tlaa go itshwarela, fa o itshwarela ba ba go leofelang, mme fa o gana go ba itshwarela ga a kitla a go itshwarela.
15 only however unless you shall forgive men (the *ko*) (trespasses of them *KO*) neither the Father of you will forgive the trespasses of you.
16 Whenever now you may fast, not do be (like *N(k)O*) the hypocrites gloomy; they disfigure for the appearance of them so that they may appear to men [as] fasting. Amen I say to you (that: *k*) they have the reward of them.
“Jaanong ka ga go ikitsa dijo; fa o ikitsa dijo, o tlogela dijo ka maikaelelo a semowa, se dire jalo mo mpepeneneng, jaaka baitimokanyi ba dira ba leka go itlhontsha difatlhogo le go tlhoka go apara sentle gore batho ba ba utlwele botlhoko. Ammaaruri, ke yone tuelo e ba tlaa lalang ba e bonye.
17 You yourself however fasting do anoint yourself your head and the face of you do wash, yourself
“Mme fa o ikitsa dijo, apara sentle,
18 so that not may you appear to men [as] fasting but to Father of you the [One] in (secret. *N(k)O*) and the Father of you the [One] seeing in (secret *N(k)O*) will reward you (in public. *K*)
Gore le fa e le ope a seka a belaela gore o bolailwe ke tlala, fa e se Rraeno fela yo o itseng sephiri sengwe le sengwe. Mme o tlaa go duela.
19 Not do store up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal;
“Se boloke dikhumo tsa gago fano mo lefatshing mo di ka senyegang kgotsa tsa utswiwa.
20 do store up however for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroy and where thieves not do break in nor steal;
Di boloke kwa legodimong kwa di se kitlang di latlhegelwa ke tlhwatlhwa teng, di bolokesegile mo magodung!
21 Where for is the treasure (of you [one] *N(k)O*) there will be also the heart (of you [one]. *N(k)O*)
“Fa dikhumo tsa gago di le kwa legodimong le pelo ya gago e tlaa nna teng.
22 The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore shall be the eye of you clear [the] whole body of you full of light will be;
“Fa leitlho la gago le itshekile go tlaa nna lesedi mo pelong ya gago.
23 If however the eye of you evil shall be, all the body of you full of darkness will be. If then the light that [is] within you darkness is, that darkness how great!
Mme fa leitlho la gago le sirilwe ke dikgopolo tse di bosula le dikeletso, o mo botennye jwa lefifi la semowa. Ao, kana lefifi leo le ka nna legolo thata jang!
24 No [one] is able two masters to serve; either for the one he will hate and the other he will love or to [the] one he will be devoted and the other he will despise. Not you are able God to serve and money.
“Ga o ka ke wa direla barena ba le babedi: Modimo le madi. Ka o tla ila yo mongwe o rate yo mongwe, kgotsa go nne ka tsela e sele.
25 Because of this I say to you; not do be anxious about the life of you what you may eat (or *N(k)O*) what you may drink, nor about the body of you what you may put on. Surely life more is [than] food and the body [than] clothing?
“Jalo he, tlhagiso ya me ke e: se tshwenyegeng ka ga dilo-ebong dijo, dino, madi le diaparo. Ka gore o setse o na le botshelo le mmele-mme di botlhokwa go na le se se tshwanetseng go jewa le se se tshwanetseng go aparwa.
26 do look at the birds of the air that not they sow nor do they reap nor do they gather into barns — and the Father of you Heavenly feeds them; Surely you yourselves much are more valuable than they?
Bonang dinonyane! Ga di tshwenyege kaga se se jewang ga di tlhoke go jala kgotsa go roba kgotsa go boloka dijo ka gore Rraalona wa Legodimo o a di otla. Mme lona lo tlhwatlhwa kgolo mo go ene go na le tsone.
27 Who now from you being anxious is able to add to the lifespan of him hour one?
A ditlhobaelo tsa lona tsotlhe di ka oketsa botshelo jwa lona ka motsotso o le mongwe?
28 And about clothing why are you anxious? do observe the lilies of the field, how (they grow; *N(k)O*) not (do they labor *N(k)O*) nor (do they spin. *N(k)O*)
“Mme ke eng fa o tlhobaela kaga diaparo tsa gago. Lebang dithunya tsa naga! Ga di tlhobaele kaga diaparo tsa tsone.
29 I say however to you that not even Solomon in all the glory of him was adorned like one of these.
Le fa go ntse jalo, Kgosi Solomone mo kgalalelong ya gagwe o na a sa apesiwa bontle jaaka di ntse.
30 If however the grass of the field, today being [here] and tomorrow into [the] furnace being thrown, God thus clothes, surely much more you, O [you] of little faith?
Mme fa Modimo o tlhokomela dithunya tse di fano gompieno ka tlhokomelo e kgolo, mme ka moso di be di seyo, a tota ga o na go lo tlhokomela, lona batho ba tumelo e potlana?
31 Not therefore shall you be anxious saying; What shall we eat Or what shall we drink Or what shall we wear?
“Jalo he, se tlhobaeleng gotlhelele kaga go nna le dijo tse di lekanyeng le diaparo. Ke eng fa lo nna jaaka baheitane ka gore ba nna le boikgantsho mo dilong tse tsotlhe, gape ba amega thata kaga tsone, mme Rraeno wa legodimo o setse a itse sentle gore lo a di tlhoka.
32 All for these things the Gentiles (seek after; *N(k)O*) knows for the Father of you Heavenly that you need of them all.
33 do seek however first the kingdom of God and the righteousness of Him, and these things all will be added to you.
“Mme ka boitumelo o tlaa di lo naya fa lo mo naya tlotlo e kgolo mo botshelong jwa lona.
34 Not therefore shall you be anxious about the [things] tomorrow; for tomorrow will be anxious about (*k*) itself. Sufficient to the day [is] the trouble of it.
“Jalo he, se tlhobaeleleng bokamoso, Modimo o tlaa tlhokomela bokamoso jwa lona. Lebogelang tlhabo ya letsatsi e lo e boneng.
