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.
“Kamutaliboneshanga kwinsa ncito shaina pamenso abantu kwambeti bamubone, mwenseco, nteti mukatambulepo cilambo kuli Bameshenu balikwilu.
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.
Neco mwapanga cintu ciliconse kumuntu laciyandanga, kamutaliboneshanga mbuli mobakute kwinshila bantu bandemishibili basa mumanda akupaililamo, ne munshila sha muminshi, balo bakute kwinseco kwambeti bantu bababone ne kubalumbaisha. Nditu ndamwambilishingeti abo balatambulililimo cilambo cabo.
3 But when you do merciful deeds, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand does,
Nomba obe wanyamfwanga bapenshi, munobe ngoli nendi pepi kabatenshiba sobwe.
4 so that your merciful deeds may be in secret, then your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
Wenseco, bipo byankumbo byakobe nukabinshibe wenka. Lino Baiso bakute kubona byasolekwa nibakakupe cilambo.”
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.
Mwapailanga kamutensanga mbuli bandemi shibili basa ncobakute kwinsa, balo bakute kuyanda kupaila kabali bemana mumanda akupaililamo, ne pamampambano anshila kwambeti bantu bababone. Cakubinga balo balatambulili limo cilambo
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.
Nomba obe wayandanga kupaila, ingila mucimpetela, cala cisasa, upaile kuli Baiso bataboneke, Baiso bakute kubona byasolekwa nibakakupe cilambo.
7 In praying, don’t use vain repetitions as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking.
Pacindi ncomulapailinga, kamutambanga maswi amo amo, mbuli ncobakute kwinsa bantu batamwinshi Lesa. Balo bakute kuyeyeti bafulishanga byakwamba empwelela kubanyumfwa Lesa.
8 Therefore don’t be like them, for your Father knows what things you need before you ask him.
Nomba amwe kamutabangeti endibo, pakwinga Bameshenu babinshi mbyomwabula, kamutana mubasenga.
9 Pray like this: “‘Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.
Ecebo cakendi amwe pakupaila kamwambangeti, Bameshetu omuli kwilu, lina lyenu lilemekwe,
10 Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Bwami bwenu bwise, Kuyanda kwenu kwinshike. Panshi pano mbuli ncekubele kwilu,
11 Give us today our daily bread.
Mutupe lelo cakulya cetu ca masuba onse.
12 Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.
Mutulekeleleko bwipishi bwetu, mbuli nenjafwe ncotukute kubalekelelako bakute kutwipishila,
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.’
Kamutasuminisha kwambeti tuwile mukweleshewa, Nsombi tukwabilileni kuli Waipa usa. “Pakwinga Bwami ne ngofu kayi ne bulemeneno ni bwenu kwamuyayaya. Ameni
14 “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
Cakubinga na mulekelela bantu bwipishi bwabo, Bameshenu ba kwilu nabo nibakamulekelele.
15 But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Nomba na nkamulekelele bantu bwipishi bwabo, nabo Bameshenu nteti bakamulekelele bwipishi bwenu sobwe.”
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.
“Mwalikanishanga kulya, kamutabonekanga kungumana pamenso. mbuli ncobakute kwinsa bandemi shibili basa, balo bakute kwipisha pamenso kwambeti bantu bababoneti balikanishinga kulya. Cakubinga, balatambulililimo cilambo cabo.
17 But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,
Nomba obe walikanishanga kulya, samba kumenso, ne kusakula cena mishishi ku mutwi,
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.
kwambeti bantu kabatenshibeti ulalikanishinga kulya, nsombi Baiso bataboneke ebelela kwinshiba bonka. Abo Baiso bakute kubona byasolekwa mbyolenshi nibakakupe cilambo.”
19 “Don’t lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal;
“Kamutalibunjikila buboni pacishi capanshi pano, apo mpobukute kubumbwa muswa, nambi kuba ne ndala, kayi nabo bakabwalala, mpobakute kwingila ne kwiba.
20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves don’t break through and steal;
Neco kamubunganyani buboni bwenu kwilu, uko kwabula muswa nambi ndala, uko kabwalala nkwela kwalilwa kwingila ne kuyakwiba.
21 for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Pakwinga kowabika buboni bwakobe, moyo wakobe ukute kauli kopeloko.”
22 “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light.
“Menso elampi ya mubili na menso kalicena, mubili wakobe wonse ukute kauli wakwana kumunikilwa.
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!
Nomba na menso akobe nkalipo cena, na mumuni mulinjobe usanduka kuba mushinshe. Lino akute aba citatiko ca mushinshe washipa mbii!”
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.
“Muntu nkela kusebensela bantu babili pacindi cimo, pakwinga ngaupelapo umo, ne kusunako naumbi, nakashomeke kuli umo, ne kusampula naumbi. Nkamwelela kusebensela Lesa, ne buboni pacindi cimo.”
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?
“Ecebo cakendi ndamwambilingeti kamutayakamwanga ne buyumi bwenu, kwambeti nitukalye cani, nambi nitukanwe cani? Nambi nitukafwale cani, sena buyumi bwenu nkabwapita cakulya? Nambi mubili nkawapita byakufwala?
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?
Kamubonani bikeni, nkabikute kubyala mbuto, nambi kutebula ne kubika mulyanga sobwe, nomba Bameshenu bakwilu bakute kubilyesha. Sena amwe nkamwayandika kupita bikeni?
27 “Which of you by being anxious, can add one moment to his lifespan?
Niyani mulinjamwe wayakamwa ne buyumi, wela kucikonsha kunungako busuba bumowa ku buyumi bwakendi?”
28 Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin,
“Inga mukute kushilacani mano ku byakufwala? Bonani maluba amucisuwa mwakute kukulila, nkakute kusebensa, nambi kulyanina bikwisa sobwe.
29 yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these.
Nomba ndamwambilinga mwami Solomoni, nambi walikuba mubile, uliyawa kufwalapo byakufwala byabekema mbuli maluba.
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?
Lino na Lesa kacikonsha kufwalika mila yamucisuwa, iyo ikute kubakowa lelo, lilo nikwitenta mulilo, Lesa ngaubula kumufwalika sena akaka! Mobalushomo lung'anamwe!”
31 “Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’
“Ecebo cakendi kamutayakamwanga ne kwambeti, ‘Inga lelo nindicicane kupeyo cakulya’ Nambi ‘cakunwa’ Nambi ‘cakufwala?
32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
Ibi nibintu mbyobakute kuyakamwa bantu batamwinshi Lesa. Amwe Bameshenu ba kwilu bacinshi kwambeti nenjamwe mulabiyandanga bintu ibi.
33 But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.
Nomba amwe nanshi mulangaule Bwami bwa Lesa, ne bululami bwakendi, nabimbi ibi Lesa nakamubikilepo.
34 Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient.
Neco nkabayakamwa ne byalilo, byalilo nibyalilo. Busuba bulibonse bukute makatasho abo.”
