Matthew 6
1 "But beware of doing your good actions in the sight of men, in order to attract their gaze; if you do, there is no reward for you with your Father who is in Heaven.
“Ẹ kíyèsára kí ẹ má ṣe iṣẹ́ rere yín níwájú àwọn ènìyàn nítorí kí a le rí yín, Bí ẹ bá ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, ẹ̀yin kò ni èrè kankan lọ́dọ̀ Baba yín ní ọ̀run.
2 'When you give in charity, never blow a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and streets in order that their praises may be sung by men. I solemnly tell you that they already have their reward.
“Nítorí náà, nígbà ti ẹ́ bá ti ń fún aláìní, ẹ má ṣe fi fèrè kéde rẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn àgàbàgebè ti í ṣe ní Sinagọgu àti ní ìta gbangba; kí àwọn ènìyàn le yìn wọ́n. Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín, wọ́n ti gba èrè tí wọn ní kíkún.
3 But when you are giving in charity, let not your left hand perceive what your right hand is doing,
Ṣùgbọ́n bí ìwọ bá ń fi fún aláìní, má ṣe jẹ́ kí ọwọ́ òsì rẹ mọ ohun tí ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ ń ṣe,
4 that your charities may be in secret; and then your Father--He who sees in secret--will recompense you.
kí ìfúnni rẹ má ṣe jẹ́ mí mọ̀. Nígbà náà ni Baba rẹ̀, tí ó sì mọ ohun ìkọ̀kọ̀ gbogbo, yóò san án fún ọ.
5 "And when praying, you must not be like the hypocrites. They are fond of standing and praying in the synagogues or at the corners of the wider streets, in order that men may see them. I solemnly tell you that they already have their reward.
“Nígbà tí ìwọ bá ń gbàdúrà, má ṣe ṣe bí àwọn àgàbàgebè, nítorí wọn fẹ́ràn láti máa dúró gbàdúrà ní Sinagọgu àti ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ ọ̀nà tí ènìyàn ti lè rí wọ́n. Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín, wọ́n ti gba èrè wọn ní kíkún.
6 But you, whenever you pray, go into your own room and shut the door: then pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father--He who sees in secret--will recompense you.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ìwọ bá ń gbàdúrà, wọ inú iyàrá rẹ lọ, sé ìlẹ̀kùn mọ́ ara rẹ, gbàdúrà sí Baba rẹ ẹni tí ìwọ kò rí. Nígbà náà ni Baba rẹ tí ó mọ gbogbo ohun ìkọ̀kọ̀ rẹ, yóò san án fún ọ.
7 "And when praying, do not use needless repetitions as the Gentiles do, for they expect to be listened to because of their multitude of words.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà ti ẹ̀yin bá ń gbàdúrà, ẹ má ṣe àtúnwí asán bí àwọn aláìkọlà, nítorí wọn rò pé a ó tìtorí ọ̀pọ̀ ọ̀rọ̀ gbọ́ tiwọn.
8 Do not, however, imitate them; for your Father knows what things you need before ever you ask Him.
Ẹ má ṣe dàbí i wọn, nítorí Baba yín tí ń bẹ ní ọ̀run mọ ohun tí ẹ ṣe aláìní, kí ẹ tilẹ̀ tó béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀.
9 "In this manner therefore pray: 'Our Father who art in Heaven, may Thy name be kept holy;
“Nítorí náà, báyìí ni kí ẹ ṣe máa gbàdúrà: “‘Baba wa tí ń bẹ ní ọ̀run, ọ̀wọ̀ fún orúkọ yín,
10 let Thy kingdom come; let Thy will be done, as in Heaven so on earth;
kí ìjọba yín dé, ìfẹ́ tiyín ni kí a ṣe ní ayé bí ti ọ̀run.
11 give us to-day our bread for the day;
Ẹ fún wa ní oúnjẹ òòjọ́ wa lónìí.
12 and forgive us our shortcomings, as we also have forgiven those who have failed in their duty towards us;
Ẹ dárí gbèsè wa jì wá, Bí àwa ti ń dáríji àwọn ajigbèsè wa,
13 and bring us not into temptation, but rescue us from the Evil one.'
Ẹ má ṣe fà wá sínú ìdánwò, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ gbà wá lọ́wọ́ ibi. Nítorí ìjọba ni tiyín, àti agbára àti ògo, láéláé, Àmín.’
14 "For if you forgive others their offences, your Heavenly Father will forgive you also;
Nítorí náà, bí ẹ̀yin bá dárí jí àwọn tó ṣẹ̀ yín, baba yín ọ̀run náà yóò dáríjì yín.
15 but if you do not forgive others their offences, neither will your Father forgive yours.
Ṣùgbọ́n bí ẹ̀yin bá kọ̀ láti dárí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àwọn ènìyàn jì wọ́n, baba yín kò ní í dárí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín jì yín.
16 "When any of you fast, never assume gloomy looks as the hypocrites do; for they disfigure their faces in order that it may be evident to men that they are fasting. I solemnly tell you that they already have their reward.
“Nígbà tí ẹ̀yin bá gbààwẹ̀, ẹ má ṣe fa ojú ro bí àwọn àgàbàgebè ṣe máa ń ṣe nítorí wọn máa ń fa ojú ro láti fihàn àwọn ènìyàn pé àwọn ń gbààwẹ̀. Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín wọn ti gba èrè wọn ní kíkún.
17 But, whenever you fast, pour perfume on your hair and wash your face,
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ìwọ bá gbààwẹ̀, bu òróró sí orí rẹ, kí ó sì tún ojú rẹ ṣe dáradára.
18 that it may not be apparent to men that you are fasting, but to your Father who is in secret; and your Father--He who sees in secret--will recompense you.
Kí ó má ṣe hàn sí ènìyàn pé ìwọ ń gbààwẹ̀, bí kò ṣe sì í Baba rẹ, ẹni tí ìwọ kò rí, àti pé, Baba rẹ tí ó rí ohun tí o ṣe ni ìkọ̀kọ̀, yóò san án fún ọ.
19 "Do not lay up stores of wealth for yourselves on earth, where the moth and wear-and-tear destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
“Má ṣe to àwọn ìṣúra jọ fún ara rẹ ní ayé yìí, níbi tí kòkòrò ti le jẹ ẹ́, tí ó sì ti le bàjẹ́ àti ibi tí àwọn olè lè fọ́ tí wọ́n yóò sì jí i lọ.
20 But amass wealth for yourselves in Heaven, where neither the moth nor wear-and-tear destroys, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
Dípò bẹ́ẹ̀ to ìṣúra rẹ jọ sí ọ̀run, níbi ti kòkòrò àti ìpáàrà kò ti lè bà á jẹ́, àti ní ibi tí àwọn olè kò le fọ́ wọlé láti jí í lọ.
21 For where your wealth is, there also will your heart be.
Nítorí ibi tí ìṣúra yín bá wà níbẹ̀ náà ni ọkàn yín yóò wà pẹ̀lú.
22 "The eye is the lamp of the body. If then your eyesight is good, your whole body will be well lighted;
“Ojú ni fìtílà ara. Bí ojú rẹ bá mọ́lẹ̀ kedere, gbogbo ara rẹ yóò jẹ́ kìkì ìmọ́lẹ̀.
23 but if your eyesight is bad, your whole body will be dark. If however the very light within you is darkness, how dense must the darkness be!
Ṣùgbọ́n bí ojú rẹ kò bá dára, gbogbo ara rẹ ni yóò kún fún òkùnkùn. Bí ìmọ́lẹ̀ ti ó wà nínú rẹ bá wá jẹ́ òkùnkùn, òkùnkùn náà yóò ti pọ̀ tó!
24 "No man can be the bondservant of two masters; for either he will dislike one and like the other, or he will attach himself to one and think slightingly of the other. You cannot be the bondservants both of God and of gold.
“Kò sì í ẹnìkan tí ó lè sin ọ̀gá méjì. Òun yóò yà kórìíra ọ̀kan tí yóò fẹ́ràn èkejì, tàbí kí ó fi ara mọ́ ọ̀kan kí ó sì yan èkejì ní ìpọ̀sí. Ẹ̀yin kò lè sin Ọlọ́run àti owó papọ̀.
25 For this reason I charge you not to be over-anxious about your lives, inquiring what you are to eat or what you are to drink, nor yet about your bodies, inquiring what clothes you are to put on. Is not the life more precious than its food, and the body than its clothing?
“Nítorí náà, mo wí fún yín, ẹ má ṣe ṣe àníyàn nípa ẹ̀mí yín, ohun tí ẹ ó jẹ àti èyí tí ẹ ó mu; tàbí nípa ara yín, ohun tí ẹ ó wọ̀. Ṣé ẹ̀mí kò ha ṣe pàtàkì ju oúnjẹ lọ tàbí ara ni kò ha ṣe pàtàkì ju aṣọ lọ?
26 Look at the birds which fly in the air: they do not sow or reap or store up in barns, but your Heavenly Father feeds them: are not you of much greater value than they?
Ẹ wo àwọn ẹyẹ ojú ọrun; wọn kì í gbìn, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kì í kórè, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kì í kójọ sínú àká, síbẹ̀ Baba yín tí ń bẹ ní ọ̀run ń bọ́ wọn. Ẹ̀yin kò ha níye lórí jù wọ́n lọ bí?
27 Which of you by being over-anxious can add a single foot to his height?
Ta ni nínú gbogbo yín nípa àníyàn ṣíṣe ti ó lè fi ìṣẹ́jú kan kún ọjọ́ ayé rẹ̀?
28 And why be anxious about clothing? Learn a lesson from the wild lilies. Watch their growth. They neither toil nor spin,
“Kí ni ìdí ti ẹ fi ń ṣe àníyàn ní ti aṣọ? Ẹ wo bí àwọn lílì tí ń bẹ ní igbó ti ń dàgbà. Wọn kì í ṣiṣẹ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kì í rànwú.
29 and yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his magnificence could array himself like one of these.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni mo wí fún yín pé, a kò ṣe Solomoni lọ́ṣọ̀ọ́ nínú gbogbo ògo rẹ̀ tó ọ̀kan nínú àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí.
30 And if God so clothes the wild herbage which to-day flourishes and to-morrow is thrown into the oven, is it not much more certain that He will clothe you, you men of little faith?
Ǹjẹ́ bí Ọlọ́run bá wọ koríko igbó ní aṣọ bẹ́ẹ̀, èyí tí ó wà níhìn-ín lónìí ti a sì gbà sínú iná lọ́la, kò ha ṣe ni ṣe yín lọ́ṣọ̀ọ́ tó bẹ́ẹ̀ àti jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ, ẹ̀yin tí ìgbàgbọ́ yín kéré?
31 Do not be over-anxious, therefore, asking 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'
Nítorí náà, ẹ má ṣe ṣe àníyàn kí ẹ sì máa wí pé, ‘Kí ni àwa yóò jẹ?’ tàbí ‘Kí ni àwa yóò mu?’ tàbí ‘Irú aṣọ wo ni àwa yóò wọ̀?’
32 For all these are questions that Gentiles are always asking; but your Heavenly Father knows that you need these things--all of them.
Nítorí àwọn kèfèrí ń fi ìwọra wá àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Baba yín ní ọ̀run mọ̀ dájúdájú pé ẹ ní ìlò àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí.
33 But make His Kingdom and righteousness your chief aim, and then these things shall all be given you in addition.
Ṣùgbọ́n, ẹ kọ́kọ́ wá ìjọba Ọlọ́run ná àti òdodo rẹ̀, yóò sì fi gbogbo àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí kún un fún yín pẹ̀lú.
34 Do not be over-anxious, therefore, about to-morrow, for to-morrow will bring its own cares. Enough for each day are its own troubles.
Nítorí náà, ẹ má ṣe àníyàn ọ̀la, ọ̀la ni yóò ṣe àníyàn ara rẹ̀. Wàhálà ọjọ́ kọ̀ọ̀kan ti tó fún un.
