Matthew 6
1 “When you do your good deeds, make certain that you do not do them when other people are watching so that they may see you [and think highly of you]. If [you do good deeds merely in order that other people may think highly of you, God], your Father who is in heaven, will not give you any reward.
Uyenyaje ungandi abhombe imbo inyinza hubhantu ili huyilolesye, subhapate ifaida hwa Dada uwahumwanya.
2 So, whenever you give something to the poor, do not [announce it as people announce something that they want other people to know about] by playing a [fanfare] on a trumpet [MET]. That is what the hypocrites do (in the synagogues/in the Jewish meeting places) and on the main roads in order that people might [see what they do and] praise them. Keep this in mind: [People praise those hypocrites], [but] that is the [only] reward they will receive!
Ishi nufumya isadaka usahayitufye sana usahabhe ndeshe abhanafiki shebhabhomba mumasinagogi na mumitaa, nkaabhantu bhabhatime semubhapae ifaida nkiimo.
3 Instead [of doing as they do], when you give something to the poor, do not let other people know that you are doing that [MET].
Lelo awe lufumya ukhona gwaho ugwa humongo gusahamanye sheshibhombeha hundilo,
4 In that way, you will be giving to the poor secretly. [As a result God], your Father who observes [you] while no one else sees [you], will reward you.
ili huje isadaka yaho ufumye hu siri. Nkhu Udada waho yalola muhati abhalupele ithawabu yaho.
5 Also when you pray, do not do what the hypocrites do. They like to stand in the Jewish meeting places and on the corners of the main streets to pray, in order that other people will see them [and think highly of them]. Keep this in mind: [People praise them, but] that is the [only] reward they will get.
Na luputa usahabhe, udeshe anafiki, pipo abhene bhasungwa ahwimilile na pute, mumasinagogi na mukona izya mukhaya zyabho nka abhantu bha bhenye. Lelo ihumbabhuzya bhapite ithawabu yabho.
6 But as for you, when you pray, go into your private room and close the door in order to pray to [God], your Father, whom no one can see. He observes you where no one else observes you, and he will reward you.
Awe luputa injila hu hati ufunje ulwiji upuute hwa Daada uwamumwoyo udaada ya lola muhati asipele ithawabu yaho.
7 When you pray, do not repeat words many times as the people who do not know God do [when they pray. They repeat meaningless words] because they think that if they use many words, their gods will listen to them and give them [what they ask for].
Nu puta ungandi pyanile inongwa zyesezili ni maana, ndeshe abhamunsi shebhabhomba pipo bhasibha abhantu bhabhahubhiuvwe pipo bhayanga inongwa inyinji.
8 Do not [repeat words] as they do, because [God] your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
Ishi usahabhe ndeshe abhene pipo uDada aminye uhwanza henu shusile alabhe hukwakwe.
9 So pray [things] like this: Father, [you who are] in heaven, we [(exc)] desire that you be honored/revered {that people honor/revere you}.
Uputaje ishi: Dada witu uwahumwanya itawa lyaho lyimishilwaje.
10 We [(exc)] desire that people let you rule [over their lives]. We(exc) want [people who live] on the earth to do what you desire, as those who live in heaven [do what you want them to do].
Ubhumwini waho winze, ulugano lwaho lubhombeshe pansi na humwanya.
11 Give us [(exc)] each day the food [SYN] that we [(exc) need for] that day.
Utipele ishalye shitu insiku zyonti.
12 Forgive our sins just like we [(exc)] have forgiven the people who sin against us [(exc)].
Utukhobhoshele amalando gitu, ndeati shetihubhakhobhoshela abhimalando bhitu.
13 Do not let us(exc) do wrong things when we(exc) are tempted {someone or something tempts us}, and rescue us [(exc)] when Satan the evil one tempts us to do evil things.”
Usahatipe injelo, utidime nu setano.
14 “[Forgive the people who sin against you], because, if you forgive other people, [God], your Father who is in heaven, will forgive your [sins].
Nkemwabhakhobhoshela abhantu amalando gabho, Udada winyu uwahumwanya abhahubhakhobhoshele namwi.
15 But if you do not forgive other people, neither will God forgive your sins.”
Nkushe mubhabhakhobhoshele abhantu Udada abhabhakhobhoshele makosa ginyu.
16 “When you abstain from eating food [in order to please God], do not look sad as the hypocrites look. They make their faces appear sad in order that people will see that they are abstaining from food [and will think highly of them]. Keep this in mind: [People will think highly of those people for that], but [that is the only] reward those people will get!
Hu gonti, lufunga usahalolesye uzugunizu humaso ndeshe abhanafiki shebhabhomba bhazugumila humiso nke abhantu bhamanye aje bhafunjile. Lyooli ihubhuzya bhapite ithawabu yabho.
17 Instead, [each of] you, when you abstain from food, should comb your hair and wash your face [as usual],
Lelo, lufunga pahala amafuta hwitwe lyaho uyoje hunaso.
18 in order that other people will not notice that you are fasting [because you will look as you always do]. But [God], your Father, whom no one can see, [will observe that you are abstaining from food. God] your Father sees [you] even though no one else sees [you], and he will reward you.”
Subhaloleshe humaso gabhantu aje ufunjile, u Ngulubhi mweene yabhamanye Udada yamanya muhati abhahupele ithawabu yaho.
19 “Do not [selfishly] accumulate large quantities of money and material goods for yourselves on [this] earth, because [the earth is where everything is destroyed. For example], on earth termites ruin things, and things rust, and thieves enter [buildings] and steal things.
Usahabhishe amali gaho munsi umu zinanjiha na bhole na bhibha bhahwibha.
20 Instead, do [deeds that will please God. Your doing such deeds will be like] storing treasures in heaven [MET]. [Nothing perishes in heaven]. In heaven no termites ruin [things], nothing rusts, and thieves do not enter buildings and steal.
Badala yakwe, abhishe amali gaho hwa Ngulubhi, sibhahwibha, sigabhola wa segananjiha.
21 [Remember that] the things [that you think are the most] valuable are [the things that] you will be constantly concerned about [MET]. [So if you want to be storing treasures in heaven], you [need to be] constantly thinking [about God and heaven], [instead of your earthly possessions].”
Pipo amali gaho pegali umwoyo waho pebhubhabhe.
22 “Your eyes are [like] a lamp [MET] for your body, because they enable you to see things. So if your eyes are healthy, you are able to see everything well [MET]. [Similarly, if you are generous with your money and other possessions, you will be able to know much of what God wants you to know] [MET].
Ilinso lukhozyo lwi bili. Nkushele, ilyinso lyaho lyumi ubili wonti, bhubhabhe nulukhozyo.
23 But if your eyes are bad, you are not able to see things well. And if that continues, the time will come when you will not be able to see at all. You will be in complete darkness [MET]. [Similarly, if you continue to be greedy, you will be in spiritual darkness. If all that your eyes can see and your mind can think about involves your greedily desiring material possessions, all that you do will be evil] [MET].”
Nkushele ilyinso lyaho lifwiye, ubili waho wonti bhuli hisi haani. Ishi nkulukhozyo lweluli muhati muliwe hisi ahagosi ndeshe bhuli!
24 “No one is able to serve two [different] bosses [at the same time]. If [he tried to do that], he would dislike one of them and love the other one, or he would be loyal to one of them and despise the other one [DOU]. [Similarly], you cannot [devote your life to] worshipping God and [worshipping] money and material goods [at the same time].”
Numo nka weka yangabha na lume bha bhili, pipo abhahunvitwe unu na hugane uwinji lumo abhahwepe hwunu abhahu sufye uwinji. Hamuwezi kumtumikia Mungu na mali.
25 “Because [you should be concerned about what God thinks is important and not about material goods, I] tell you that you should not worry about [things that you need in order to] live. [Do not worry] about whether you will have [enough food] to eat, and [something] to drink, or [enough] clothes to wear. It is important to have [sufficient] food [and drink] and clothing, but the way you conduct your lives is much more important [RHQ].
Ishi ihuhabhe nu sanje ahusu amaisha gaho aje ubhalyeshi, ubhamweleshi, ahusu ubili waho ubhakwate shi! Amaisha se haani yi shalye ubili haani yi meenda?
26 Look at the birds. They do not plant [seeds, and they do not] harvest [crops] and gather them into barns. [But they always have food to eat because God], your Father who is in heaven, provides food for them. And you are certainly worth a lot more than birds [RHQ]! [So you can be assured that God will supply what you need!]
Enya inyonyi zyezipuluha humwanya. Saazitota sazivunza sazibhunganya na bhishe mushanka, lelo Udada uwahumwanya ahuzilisya. Je amwisemulibhi maana hani kuliko inyonyi?
27 (None of you can, just by worrying, [add time to your life]./Can any of you, just by worrying, [add time to your life]?) [RHQ] [You cannot] add [even] one minute to your life! [So you should not worry about things such as food and clothing!]
Weemu hulimwe uwahuyitamye ankayonjezya idhiraa yeka huwomi wimaisha gakwe?
28 You should also not worry about [whether you will have enough] clothes [to wear] [RHQ]. Think about the way flowers [grow] in the fields. They do not work [to earn money], and they do not make their own clothes.
Ye enu mubha musaga aje yibhakwate nshi? Msubhilile amaua mmashamba shegabha segabhomba imbombo segahuyikwatizya.
29 But I tell you that even though [King] Solomon, who [lived long ago], [wore very beautiful clothes], his clothes were not as beautiful as one of those [flowers].
Bado ihumbabhuzya hata yu Sulemani nu tuntumu wakwe saga ahakwatiziwilwe mojawapo yiga.
30 God makes the wild plants very beautiful, [but they grow] in the field [for only a short time]. One day they grow, and the next day they are thrown into an oven {someone [cuts them and] throws them into an oven} [to be burned to make heat for baking bread. But you are more important to God than wild plants are, and you live much longer]. So (God will certainly provide clothes for you who [live a long time but] trust him so little!/will not God surely very adequately clothe you, [who live a long time but] trust him so little?) [RHQ]
Nkushele Ungulubhi ahugakwatizya amasole agamumagunda, gegakhala isiku lyeka ni ndabhi gatagwa mumwoto je bhulibhuli angabhakwatizya amwi mwemuli nulwitiho uludodo?
31 Because of God’s caring for you, do not worry and say, ‘Will we have anything to eat?’ or ‘Will we have anything to drink?’ or ‘Will we have clothes to wear?’ [RHQ]
Eshi musahasaje aje, 'Je tibhalyeshi?' au “Je tibhamweleshi?” au “Je tibhakhwate menda bhuli?”
32 Those who do not know God are always worrying about things like that. But God, your Father who is in heaven, knows that you need all those things, [so you should not worry about them].
Pipo abhinsi bhahuganza amambo iga, nu Dada winyu uwahumwanya aminye aje muhuganza igo.
33 Instead, the most important thing you should be concerned about is to let [God] completely direct your life, and to strive [to live] righteously. [If you do that], all the things that you [need] will be given to you {God will give you all the things [that you need]}.
Ishi nasuti mwanze ubhumwini wakwe ni lyoli yakwe nigo gonta gabhahwonjeleshe huliwe.
34 So [each day] do not be worried about what will happen to you the next day, because [when] that day [PRS] comes, [you] will be concerned about [what happens during] that day. You will have enough to be concerned about each day. [So do not worry ahead of time].”
Ishi usahalole usahasaje kwa ajili yi ndabhi, pipo indabhi zibhamanyishe hunuhwo. Isiku lyolyonti likwiliye hwi tatizizo lyakwe.
