Matthew 6
1 'Take heed your kindness not to do before men, to be seen by them, and if not — reward ye have not from your Father who [is] in the heavens;
“Mwĩmenyererei mũtigekage ciĩko cianyu cia ũthingu mbere ya andũ nĩguo mamuone. Mũngĩĩka ũguo-rĩ, mũtirĩ kĩheo mũkaaheo nĩ Ithe wanyu ũrĩa ũrĩ igũrũ.
2 whenever, therefore, thou mayest do kindness, thou mayest 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!
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, rĩrĩa ũkũheana kĩndũ kũrĩ arĩa abatari, ndũkae kwanĩrĩra ũrĩa ũreka na tũrumbeta, ta ũrĩa hinga ciĩkaga thunagogi-inĩ na njĩra-inĩ, nĩguo itĩĩagwo nĩ andũ. Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, acio nĩmarĩkĩtie kwamũkĩra kĩheo kĩao gĩothe.
3 'But thou, doing kindness, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doth,
No hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ũkũheana kĩndũ kũrĩ arĩa abatari-rĩ, ndũkareke guoko gwaku kwa ũmotho kũmenye ũrĩa guoko gwaku kwa ũrĩo kũreeka,
4 that thy kindness may be in secret, and thy Father who is seeing in secret Himself shall reward thee manifestly.
nĩgeetha ũheani ũcio waku ũtuĩke wa hitho-inĩ. Nake Ithe wanyu, ũrĩa wonaga maũndũ marĩa mekagĩrwo hitho-inĩ, nĩakamũhe kĩheo.
5 'And when thou mayest pray, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites, because they love in the synagogues, and in the corners of the broad places — standing — to pray, that they may be seen of men; verily I say to you, that they have their reward.
“Na rĩrĩa mũkũhooya-rĩ, mũtikanatuĩke ta hinga, nĩgũkorwo ciendaga kũhooya irũgamĩte thĩinĩ wa thunagogi na macemanĩrio ma njĩra nĩguo cionwo nĩ andũ. Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, icio nĩirĩkĩtie kwamũkĩra mũcaara wacio wothe.
6 'But thou, when thou mayest pray, go into thy chamber, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father who [is] in secret, and thy Father who is seeing in secret, shall reward thee manifestly.
No hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ũkũhooya, toonya nyũmba yaku, ũhinge mũrango na ũhooye Thoguo ũrĩa ũtoonekaga. Nake Thoguo ũrĩa wonaga maũndũ marĩa mekagĩrwo hitho-inĩ, nĩagakũhe mũcaara waku.
7 'And — praying — ye may not use vain repetitions like the nations, for they think that in their much speaking they shall be heard,
Na ningĩ hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũkũhooya-rĩ, tigagai kũhũhũtĩka ta andũ arĩa matetĩkĩtie Ngai, nĩgũkorwo meciiragia nĩ mekũiguuo nĩ ũndũ wa kũraihia mahooya.
8 be ye not therefore like to them, for your Father doth know those things that ye have need of before your asking him;
Mũtigatuĩke tao, nĩgũkorwo Ithe wanyu nĩoĩ kĩrĩa kĩmũbatairie o na mũtanamũhooya.
9 thus therefore pray ye: 'Our Father who [art] in the heavens! hallowed be Thy name.
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mwagĩrĩirwo nĩkũhooyaga atĩrĩ: “‘Ithe witũ ũrĩ igũrũ, rĩĩtwa rĩaku nĩrĩamũrwo,
10 'Thy reign come: Thy will come to pass, as in heaven also on the earth.
ũthamaki waku nĩũũke, ũrĩa wendete Wee nĩwĩkagwo gũkũ thĩ ta ũrĩa wĩkagwo kũu igũrũ.
11 'Our appointed bread give us to-day.
Tũhe ũmũthĩ irio ciitũ cia gũtũigana.
12 'And forgive us our debts, as also we forgive our debtors.
Na ũtũrekere mahĩtia maitũ, ta ũrĩa o na ithuĩ tũrekagĩra arĩa matũhĩtagĩria.
13 'And mayest Thou not lead us to temptation, but deliver us from the evil, because Thine is the reign, and the power, and the glory — to the ages. Amen.
Na ndũgatũtware magerio-inĩ, no ũtũhonokagie kuuma kũrĩ ũrĩa mũũru.’
14 'For, if ye may forgive men their trespasses He also will forgive you — your Father who [is] in the heavens;
Nĩgũkorwo mũngĩrekera andũ hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mamũhĩtĩria, o nake Ithe wanyu ũrĩa ũrĩ igũrũ nĩarĩmũrekagĩra.
15 but if ye may not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
No mũngĩaga kũrekera andũ mehia mao-rĩ, o nake Ithe wanyu ndarĩmũrekagĩra mehia manyu.
16 'And when ye may fast, be ye not as the hypocrites, of sour countenances, for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear to men fasting; verily I say to you, that they have their reward.
“Ningĩ rĩrĩa mũkwĩhinga kũrĩa irio-rĩ, tigagai gũtukia mothiũ manyu ta ũrĩa hinga ciĩkaga, nĩgũkorwo nĩitukagia mothiũ macio nĩguo cionie andũ atĩ nĩciĩhingĩte kũrĩa irio. Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, icio nĩirĩkĩtie kwamũkĩra mũcaara wacio wothe.
17 'But thou, fasting, anoint thy head, and wash thy face,
No rĩrĩa wĩhingĩte kũrĩa, wĩhakage maguta mũtwe na wĩthambage ũthiũ,
18 that thou mayest not appear to men fasting, but to thy Father who [is] in secret, and thy Father, who is seeing in secret, shall reward thee manifestly.
nĩguo andũ matikamenye atĩ nĩwĩhingĩte kũrĩa, tiga o Thoguo ũrĩa ũtoonekaga amenye; nake Thoguo ũrĩa wonaga maũndũ marĩa mekagĩrwo hitho-inĩ, nĩagakũhe mũcaara.
19 'Treasure not up to yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust disfigure, and where thieves break through and steal,
“Tigagai kwĩigĩra mĩthiithũ gũkũ thĩ, kũrĩa indo irĩĩagwo nĩ memenyi na ikaroota, na kũrĩa aici mabunjaga makaiya.
20 but treasure up to yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth disfigure, and where thieves do not break through nor steal,
No mwĩigagĩrei mĩthiithũ igũrũ, kũrĩa ĩtangĩrĩĩo nĩ memenyi kana ĩroote, na kũrĩa aici matangĩbunja maiye.
21 for where your treasure is, there will be also your heart.
Nĩgũkorwo kũrĩa mĩthiithũ yanyu ĩrĩ, nokuo ngoro cianyu o nacio irĩĩkoragwo irĩ.
22 'The lamp of the body is the eye, if, therefore, thine eye may be perfect, all thy body shall be enlightened,
“Riitho nĩrĩo tawa wa mwĩrĩ. Maitho maku mangĩkorwo marĩ mega, mwĩrĩ waku wothe nĩũrĩiyũragwo nĩ ũtheri.
23 but if thine eye may be evil, all thy body shall be dark; if, therefore, the light that [is] in thee is darkness — the darkness, how great!
No rĩrĩ, maitho maku mangĩkorwo nĩ mathũku, mwĩrĩ waku wothe ũrĩiyũragwo nĩ nduma. Naguo ũtheri ũrĩa ũrĩ thĩinĩ waku ũngĩkorwo nĩ nduma-rĩ, nduma ĩyo kaĩ nĩ nene-ĩ!
24 'None is able to serve two lords, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to the one, and despise the other; ye are not able to serve God and Mammon.
“Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩhota gũtungatĩra aathani eerĩ. Nĩ ũndũ no athũũrire ũmwe, na ende ũcio ũngĩ; kana eheane harĩ ũmwe, na anyarare ũcio ũngĩ. Mũtingĩtungatĩra Ngai na mũtungatĩre mbeeca.
25 'Because of this I say to you, be not anxious for your life, what ye may eat, and what ye may drink, nor for your body, what ye may put on. Is not the life more than the nourishment, and the body than the clothing?
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, tigagai gũtangĩkĩra mĩoyo yanyu, nĩ ũndũ wa kĩrĩa mũrĩrĩĩaga kana kĩrĩa mũrĩnyuuaga; kana kĩrĩa mũrĩĩhumbaga mĩĩrĩ yanyu. Githĩ muoyo ndũrĩ bata gũkĩra irio, naguo mwĩrĩ ũkagĩa bata gũkĩra nguo?
26 look to the fowls of the heaven, for they do not sow, nor reap, nor gather into storehouses, and your heavenly Father doth nourish them; are not ye much better than they?
Ta rorai nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ; itihaandaga, kana ikagetha, kana ikaiga magetha ikũmbĩ, no Ithe wanyu ũrĩa ũrĩ Igũrũ nĩaciheaga irio. Githĩ inyuĩ mũtikĩrĩ a bata mũno gũkĩra icio?
27 'And who of you, being anxious, is able to add to his age one cubit?
Nũũ wanyu ũngĩhota kuongerera muoyo wake ithaa o na rĩmwe nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtanga?
28 and about clothing why are ye anxious? consider well the lilies of the field; how do they grow? they do not labour, nor do they spin;
“Na nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmaga mwĩtange nĩ ũndũ wa nguo? Ta rorai itoka cia gĩthaka ũrĩa ikũraga. Itirutaga wĩra kana ikogotha ndigi,
29 and I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these.
no ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, o na Solomoni arĩ na riiri wake wothe ndagemete ta kĩmwe gĩacio.
30 'And if the herb of the field, that to-day is, and to-morrow is cast to the furnace, God doth so clothe — not much more you, O ye of little faith?
Angĩkorwo ũguo nĩguo Ngai ahumbaga nyeki ya gĩthaka ĩrĩa ĩrĩ ho ũmũthĩ na rũciũ ĩgaikio mwaki-inĩ-rĩ, githĩ inyuĩ ndarĩkĩmũhumbaga wega makĩria, inyuĩ mwĩtĩkĩtie o hanini?
31 therefore ye may not be anxious, saying, What may we eat? or, What may we drink? or, What may we put round?
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, tigagai gwĩtanga, mũkĩũria atĩrĩ: ‘Tũkũrĩa kĩĩ?’ kana ‘Tũkũnyua kĩĩ?’ kana ‘Tũkwĩhumba kĩĩ?’
32 for all these do the nations seek for, for your heavenly Father doth know that ye have need of all these;
Nĩgũkorwo maũndũ maya mothe nĩmo macaragio nĩ andũ arĩa matetĩkĩtie Ngai. No Ithe wanyu wa igũrũ nĩoĩ atĩ nĩmũbataragio nĩmo.
33 but seek ye first the reign of God and His righteousness, and all these shall be added to you.
No ambai mũcarie ũthamaki wake na ũthingu wake, na maũndũ maya mangĩ mothe o namo nĩarĩmũheaga.
34 Be not therefore anxious for the morrow, for the morrow shall be anxious for its own things; sufficient for the day [is] the evil of it.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio tigagai gwĩtanga nĩ ũndũ wa rũciũ, nĩgũkorwo rũciũ nĩrũgetangĩkĩra ruo rwene. O mũthenya ũrĩ na mathĩĩna maguo ma kũũigana.
