Matthew 6
1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen by them: otherwise ye have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
“Nlilolechesye, nkatenda yambone pa ŵandu kuti mmoneche. Pakuŵa mwatendaga yeleyo ngampegwa ntuuka kutyochela kwa Atati ŵenu ŵa kwinani.
2 Therefore, when thou doest [thy] alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do, in the synagogues, and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Verily, I say to you, they have their reward.
“Nipele pankunkamuchisya jwakulaga, nkagomba lipenga. Nkatenda mpela yakuti pakutenda ŵaulamba mmajumba ga kupopelela ni mmatala kuti ŵandu anlape. Ngunsalila isyene, ŵelewo ŵamale kupochela ntuuka wao.
3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
Nambo mmwe pankunkamuchisya jwakulaga, ntende yeleyo mwakusisa namose ambusanga ŵenu akamanyilila,
4 That thy alms may be in secret; and thy Father who seeth in secret, himself will reward thee openly.
nipele mwakamuchisye ŵakulaga mwakusisika ni Atati ŵenu ŵakulola yakusisika, chachimpa mbote.
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 by men. Verily, I say to you, they have their reward.
“Sooni pankupopela, nkaŵa mpela ŵaulamba. Pakuŵa ŵelewo ikwanonyela kupopela achijimaga mmajumba ga kupopelela ni pamalekano melepe aoneche ni ŵandu. Ngunsalila isyene, ŵelewo ŵamale kupochela mbote jao.
6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret, and thy Father who seeth in secret, will reward thee openly.
Nambo mmweji pankupopela, njinjile nkati mwenu, mmugale nnango ni mwapopele Atati ŵenu ŵangakuwonekana. Nombe Atati ŵenu ŵakulola inkuipanganya kwakusisika, champe mbote.
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.
“Pankupopela, nkaŵecheta maloŵe ga wamba mpela ŵandu ŵangakwamanyilila Akunnungu. Pakuŵa ŵanyawo akuganisya kuti Akunnungu chachapilikanila kwa ligongo lya maloŵe gao gamajinji.
8 Therefore be ye not like them: for your Father knoweth what things ye need before ye ask him.
Nipele nkalandana ni ŵanyawo, pakuŵa Atati ŵenu akumanyilila chinkusaka nkanaŵe kwaŵenda.
9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Nipele ŵanyamwe mpopeleje yeleyi, ‘Atati ŵetu ŵandi kwinani, Liina lyenu lichimbichikwe kwannope.
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as [it is] in heaven.
Umwenye wenu uiche. Chinkusaka cho chitendekwe pachilambo pano mpela kwinani.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
Ntupe chakulya chetu cha lyuŵa ni lyuŵa.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
Ntulechelesye ileŵo yetu, mpela uweji itukuti kwalechelesya wose ŵakutuleŵela.
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.
Nkatujinjisya nkulinjikwa, nambo ntukulupusye ni jwangalumbana.’ Pakuŵa umwenye uli wenu ni machili ni ukulu moŵa gose pangali mbesi.
14 For, if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
“Pakuŵa mwalechelesyaga ŵandu ileŵo yao, Atati ŵenu ŵa kwinani channechelesye ni ŵanyamwe ŵakwe.
15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Nambo iŵaga ngamwalechelesya ŵandu, nombe Atati ŵenu ŵa kwinani ngasannechelesya ni ŵanyamwe ŵakwe.
16 Moreover, when ye fast, be not as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear to men to fast. Verily, I say to you, they have their reward.
“Pankutaŵa, ngasimma mpela ŵaulamba. Ŵanyawo akutaŵa sinya ku meeso kwao melepe awoneche ni ŵandu kuti akutaŵa. Nambo une ngunsalila isyene kuti ŵelewo ŵamale kupochela ntuuka wao.
17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thy head, and wash thy face;
Nambo mwe pankutaŵa, nsukusule ku meeso ni kupakala mauta muntwe,
18 That thou mayest not appear to men to fast, but to thy Father, who is in secret: and thy Father, who seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
kuti ŵandu anamanyilile kuti nkutaŵa, nambo mmanyiche ni Atati ŵenu ŵangakuwoneka. Nombe Atati ŵenu pe ŵakulola yakusisika, chachimpa mbote jenu.
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
“Nkaligosela mbiko pa chilambo pano pajikonasika ni idudu ni imbulukutu, ni ŵawiyi akwinjila ni kwiŵa.
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.
Nambo nligosele mbiko kwinani kwangajonasika chindu ni idudu namose imbulukutu, atamuno ŵawiyi ngakukombola kwinjila ni kwiŵa.
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Pakuŵa pajili mbiko jenu pele ntima wenu ni pachiuŵe.
22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thy eye be single, thy whole body will be full of light.
“Liso lili lulanga lwa chiilu. Nipele liso lyenu lyaŵaga lyansima, chiilu chenu chose chichiŵe mu lilanguka.
23 But if thy eye be evil, thy whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee is darkness, how great [is] that darkness!
Nambo liso lyenu lyaŵaga ngaŵa lyansima, chiilu chenu chose chichiŵe mu chipi. Nipele lilanguka lyalili nkati mwenu lyaŵaga mu chipi, chipi cho chili totoloo!
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.
“Ngapagwa jwakukombola kwatumichila achambuje ŵaŵili. Pakuŵa chanchime jumo ni kunnonyela jwine. Pane chanchimbichisye jumo ni kunnyelusya jwine. Ngankukombola kwatumichila Akunnungu nchitumichilaga mbiya kwanakamo.
25 Therefore I say to you, Be not anxious 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 food, and the body than raiment?
“Kwa lyele ligongo ngunsalila, ngasinlilagasya kwa ligongo lya umi wenu kuti chindye chichi ni ching'we chichi namose kwa ligongo lya iilu kuti chimmwale chichi. Pakuŵa umi utopele kupunda yakulya ni chiilu chitopele kupunda iwalo.
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?
Nnyilole ijuni ya mwikonde, ngaikupanda namose ngaikugungula atamuno nganiikola ikuti yaili yose. Nambo Atati ŵenu ŵa kwinani akuilisya. Ŵanyamwe ndi wakutopela kwipunda ijuni yo.
27 Which of you by anxious care can add one cubit to his stature?
Nipele, ŵaani mwa ŵanyamwe kwakulichenjeusya nnope akukombola kulijonjechesya namose lyuŵa limo mmoŵa ga umi wakwe?
28 And why are ye anxious for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field how they grow? they toil not, neither do they spin?
“Yankati iwalo, kwachichi nkulajilila? Nnole uluŵa wa mwikonde yaukuti umele wakwe. Ngaukupanganya masengo atamuno ngaukuliluchila iwalo.
29 And yet I say to you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Nambo ngunsalila kuti, namose mwenye che Selemani ni ukulu wao wose nganawale yambone mpela limo lya uluŵa wo.
30 Wherefore, if God so clotheth the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, [will he] not much more [clothe] you, O ye of little faith?
Nipele iŵaga Akunnungu akulitakusya yeleyo lisamba lya mwitinji lyalikumela lelo ni malaŵi likupatuka ni kwasikwa pa mooto ana ngati chantakusye kwakupunda ŵanyamwe ŵandi ni chikulupi chamwana?
31 Therefore be not anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or what shall we drink? or, with what shall we be clothed?
“Nipele ngasinkola lipamba chindye chichi? Atamuno ching'we chichi? Namose chimbwale chichi?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
Pakuŵa yose yo ikuchenjeuchilwa ni ŵandu ŵangakwamanyilila Akunnungu. Nambo mwanya Atati ŵenu ŵa kwinani akumanyilila kuti nkuilajila yele indu.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
Nipele nsose kaje Umwenye wa Akunnungu ni kupanganya yaili yambone paujo pa Akunnungu, ni indu ine chiijonjechekwe kukwenu.
34 Therefore be not anxious for the morrow: for the morrow will be solicitous for the things of itself. Sufficient to the day [is] its own evil.
Nipele ngasinkola lipamba yankati malaŵi, pakuŵa malaŵi ikwete yakwe. Kulaga kwa lyuŵa limo kukunkwana kwa lyele lyuŵa.
