Matthew 6
1 “Be careful that you don’t do your charitable giving before men, to be seen by them, or else you have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
“Mwegendereze, ebikolwa byammwe eby’obutuukirivu obutabikoleranga mu lujjudde lw’abantu nga mwagala babasiime, kubanga bwe munaakolanga bwe mutyo Kitammwe ali mu ggulu talibawa mpeera.”
2 Therefore, when you do merciful deeds, don’t sound a trumpet before yourself, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may get glory from men. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward.
“Bw’obanga ogabira omwavu ekintu teweeraganga nga bannanfuusi bwe bakola ne basooka okufuuwa eŋŋombe mu makuŋŋaaniro ne mu nguudo, nga bagenda okugabira abaavu, abantu babalabe babawe ekitiibwa. Ddala ddala mbagamba nti Abo, eyo y’empeera yaabwe.
3 But when you do merciful deeds, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand does,
Naye ggwe bw’obanga ogabira omuntu yenna ekintu omukono gwo ogwa kkono guleme kumanya ogwa ddyo kye gukola.
4 so that your merciful deeds may be in secret, then your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
Kale Kitaawo amanyi ebyama byonna alikuwa empeera.”
5 “When you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Most certainly, I tell you, they have received their reward.
“Era bwe mubanga musaba mwekuume obutaba nga bannanfuusi abaagala okweraga nga bwe bali bannaddiini, ne basabira mu makuŋŋaaniro ne ku nguudo mu lujjudde, abantu babalabe. Abo, eyo y’empeera yokka gye balifuna.
6 But you, when you pray, enter into your inner room, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
Naye ggwe bw’obanga osaba, oyingiranga mu nnyumba yo, ne weggalira mu kisenge kyo n’osabira eyo mu kyama. Kitaawo ategeera ebyama byo byonna alikuwa by’omusabye.
7 In praying, don’t use vain repetitions as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking.
Era bwe musabanga temuddiŋŋananga mu bigambo oba okwogera ebigambo enkumu ng’abatamanyi Katonda bwe bakola nga balowooza nti Bwe banaddiŋŋana mu bigambo emirundi n’emirundi okusaba kwabwe lwe kunaddibwamu.
8 Therefore don’t be like them, for your Father knows what things you need before you ask him.
Kale temubafaanananga, kubanga Kitammwe amanyidde ddala byonna bye mwetaaga ne bwe muba nga temunnamusaba.”
9 Pray like this: “‘Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.
Noolwekyo mumusabenga bwe muti nti, Kitaffe ali mu ggulu, Erinnya Lyo litukuzibwe.
10 Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Obwakabaka bwo bujje. By’oyagala bikolebwe mu nsi, nga bwe bikolebwa mu ggulu.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
Otuwenga emmere yaffe eya buli lunaku.
12 Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.
Tusonyiwe ebyonoono byaffe nga naffe bwe tusonyiwa abatwonoona.
13 Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen.’
Totuganya kukemebwa naye tulokole eri omubi.
14 “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
“Kubanga bwe munaasonyiwanga ababasobezza, nammwe Kitammwe ali mu ggulu anaabasonyiwanga.
15 But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Naye bwe mutaasonyiwenga bannammwe, nammwe Kitammwe ali mu ggulu taabasonyiwenga.”
16 “Moreover when you fast, don’t be like the hypocrites, with sad faces. For they disfigure their faces that they may be seen by men to be fasting. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward.
“Bwe musiibanga, temukiraganga nga bannanfuusi bwe bakola. Kubanga batunuza ennaku balyoke balabike mu bantu nti basiiba, mbategeeza ng’abo, eyo y’empeera yokka gye bagenda okufuna.
17 But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,
Naye ggwe bw’osiibanga olongoosanga enviiri zo n’onaaba ne mu maaso,
18 so that you are not seen by men to be fasting, but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.
abantu baleme kutegeera nti osiiba, okuggyako Kitaawo ali mu ggulu era alaba mu kyama alikuwa empeera.”
19 “Don’t lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal;
“Temweterekeranga byabugagga wano ku nsi kwe biyinza okwonoonebwa ennyenje n’obutalagge, n’ababbi kwe bayinza okubibbira.
20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves don’t break through and steal;
Naye mweterekerenga obugagga bwammwe mu ggulu gye butayinza kwonoonebwa nnyenje wadde obutalagge, n’ababbi gye batayinza kuyingira kububba.
21 for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Kubanga obugagga bwo gye buli n’omutima gwo gye gunaabeeranga.”
22 “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light.
“Eriiso y’ettabaaza y’omubiri gwo, noolwekyo eriiso bwe liba eddamu, omubiri gwo gwonna gujjula ekitangaala ng’eky’omusana.
23 But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!
Naye eriiso lyo bwe liba ebbi, omubiri gwo gwonna gunaabeeranga n’ekizikiza, noolwekyo ekizikiza ekyo kiba kikwafu nnyo!”
24 “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can’t serve both God and Mammon.
“Tewali n’omu ayinza kuweereza bakulu babiri, kubanga alikyawako omu n’ayagala omulala oba aliwulirako omu n’anyooma omulala. Toyinza kuweereza Katonda na mamona.”
25 Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
“Noolwekyo mbagamba nti, Temweraliikiriranga bya bulamu bwammwe, bye munaalya oba bye munaanywa, wadde ebyokwambala. Kubanga obulamu businga ebyokulya, n’omubiri gusinga ebyambalo.
26 See the birds of the sky, that they don’t sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you of much more value than they?
Mulabire ku nnyonyi ez’omu bbanga! Tezisiga so tezikungula so tezikuŋŋaanyiza mmere mu tterekero, naye Kitammwe ali mu ggulu aziriisa. Naye mmwe temusinga nnyo ennyonyi ezo?
27 “Which of you by being anxious, can add one moment to his lifespan?
Ani ku mmwe, bwe yeeraliikirira, ayinza okwongerayo obulamu bwe akatundu n’akamu?”
28 Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin,
“Naye lwaki mweraliikirira ebyokwambala? Mulabire ku malanga ag’oku ttale! Tegaliiko kye geekolera,
29 yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these.
naye ne Kabaka Sulemaani mu kitiibwa kye kyonna teyagenkana mu kwambala.
30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today exists and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, won’t he much more clothe you, you of little faith?
Naye obanga Katonda ayambaza obulungi bw’atyo omuddo ogw’omu nsiko ogw’ekiseera obuseera, ogubaawo leero ate enkeera ne gwokebwa mu kyoto, talisingawo nnyo okubambaza? Nga mulina okukkiriza okutono!
31 “Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’
Noolwekyo temweraliikiririranga nga mugamba nti, ‘Tunaalya ki? Oba nti, Tunaanywa ki? Oba nti, Tunaayambala ki?’
32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
Ebyo byonna bannamawanga bye bayaayaanira. Naye Kitammwe ali mu ggulu amanyi ng’ebyo byonna mubyetaaga.
33 But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.
Naye musooke munoonye obwakabaka bwa Katonda n’obutuukirivu bwe, ebyo byonna mulibyongerwako.
34 Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient.
Noolwekyo temweraliikiriranga bya nkya. Kubanga olunaku olw’enkya lulyeraliikirira ebyalwo. Buli lunaku lulina emitawaana gyalwo egimala.”
