Mathayo 6
1 “Mwĩmenyererei mũtigekage ciĩko cianyu cia ũthingu mbere ya andũ nĩguo mamuone. Mũngĩĩka ũguo-rĩ, mũtirĩ kĩheo mũkaaheo nĩ Ithe wanyu ũrĩa ũrĩ igũrũ.
do beware (now *no*) the (righteousness *N(K)O*) of you not [you are] to do before men in order to be seen by them; lest then except indeed reward not have you with the Father of you who [is] in the heavens.
2 “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.
When therefore you may do acts of charity, not may sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets so that they may have glory from men. Amen I say to you; they have the reward of them.
3 No hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ũkũheana kĩndũ kũrĩ arĩa abatari-rĩ, ndũkareke guoko gwaku kwa ũmotho kũmenye ũrĩa guoko gwaku kwa ũrĩo kũreeka,
You however doing charity not should know the left [hand] of you what is doing the right [hand] of you
4 nĩgeetha ũheani ũcio waku ũtuĩke wa hitho-inĩ. Nake Ithe wanyu, ũrĩa wonaga maũndũ marĩa mekagĩrwo hitho-inĩ, nĩakamũhe kĩheo.
so that may be your giving in secret. And the Father of you the [One] seeing in secret (himself *k*) will reward you (in public. *K*)
5 “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.
And when (you may pray, *N(K)O*) not (you will be *N(K)O*) (like *N(k)O*) the hypocrites, for they love [to be] in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets having stood to pray so that (maybe *k*) they may be seen by men. Amen I say to you (that: *k*) they have the reward of them.
6 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.
You yourself however, when you may pray, do enter into the room of you, and having shut the door of you do pray to the Father of you in secret. And the Father of you the [One] seeing in secret will reward you (in public. *K*)
7 Na ningĩ hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũkũhooya-rĩ, tigagai kũhũhũtĩka ta andũ arĩa matetĩkĩtie Ngai, nĩgũkorwo meciiragia nĩ mekũiguuo nĩ ũndũ wa kũraihia mahooya.
Praying now not may use vain repetitions like the pagans; they think for that in the many words of them they will be heard.
8 Mũtigatuĩke tao, nĩgũkorwo Ithe wanyu nĩoĩ kĩrĩa kĩmũbatairie o na mũtanamũhooya.
Not therefore may be like to them; has known for (the God *O*) the Father of you of what things need you have before your asking Him.
9 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mwagĩrĩirwo nĩkũhooyaga atĩrĩ: “‘Ithe witũ ũrĩ igũrũ, rĩĩtwa rĩaku nĩrĩamũrwo,
Thus therefore do pray you yourselves: Father of us you who [are] in the heavens, should be hallowed the name of You;
10 ũthamaki waku nĩũũke, ũrĩa wendete Wee nĩwĩkagwo gũkũ thĩ ta ũrĩa wĩkagwo kũu igũrũ.
should come the kingdom of You; should be [done] the will of You, as in heaven [so] also upon (the *k*) earth;
11 Tũhe ũmũthĩ irio ciitũ cia gũtũigana.
The bread of us daily do grant us today;
12 Na ũtũrekere mahĩtia maitũ, ta ũrĩa o na ithuĩ tũrekagĩra arĩa matũhĩtagĩria.
And do forgive us the debts of us, as also we ourselves (forgive *N(k)O*) the debtors of us;
13 Na ndũgatũtware magerio-inĩ, no ũtũhonokagie kuuma kũrĩ ũrĩa mũũru.’
And not may you lead us into temptation, but do deliver us from the evil’ (Since of you is the kingdom and the power and the glory into the ages *K*) (Amen. *KO*)
14 Nĩgũkorwo mũngĩrekera andũ hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mamũhĩtĩria, o nake Ithe wanyu ũrĩa ũrĩ igũrũ nĩarĩmũrekagĩra.
If for you shall forgive men the trespasses of them, will forgive also you the Father of you Heavenly.
15 No mũngĩaga kũrekera andũ mehia mao-rĩ, o nake Ithe wanyu ndarĩmũrekagĩra mehia manyu.
only however unless you shall forgive men (the *ko*) (trespasses of them *KO*) neither the Father of you will forgive the trespasses of you.
16 “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.
Whenever now you may fast, not do be (like *N(k)O*) the hypocrites gloomy; they disfigure for the appearance of them so that they may appear to men [as] fasting. Amen I say to you (that: *k*) they have the reward of them.
17 No rĩrĩa wĩhingĩte kũrĩa, wĩhakage maguta mũtwe na wĩthambage ũthiũ,
You yourself however fasting do anoint yourself your head and the face of you do wash, yourself
18 nĩguo andũ matikamenye atĩ nĩwĩhingĩte kũrĩa, tiga o Thoguo ũrĩa ũtoonekaga amenye; nake Thoguo ũrĩa wonaga maũndũ marĩa mekagĩrwo hitho-inĩ, nĩagakũhe mũcaara.
so that not may you appear to men [as] fasting but to Father of you the [One] in (secret. *N(k)O*) and the Father of you the [One] seeing in (secret *N(k)O*) will reward you (in public. *K*)
19 “Tigagai kwĩigĩra mĩthiithũ gũkũ thĩ, kũrĩa indo irĩĩagwo nĩ memenyi na ikaroota, na kũrĩa aici mabunjaga makaiya.
Not do store up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal;
20 No mwĩigagĩrei mĩthiithũ igũrũ, kũrĩa ĩtangĩrĩĩo nĩ memenyi kana ĩroote, na kũrĩa aici matangĩbunja maiye.
do store up however for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroy and where thieves not do break in nor steal;
21 Nĩgũkorwo kũrĩa mĩthiithũ yanyu ĩrĩ, nokuo ngoro cianyu o nacio irĩĩkoragwo irĩ.
Where for is the treasure (of you [one] *N(k)O*) there will be also the heart (of you [one]. *N(k)O*)
22 “Riitho nĩrĩo tawa wa mwĩrĩ. Maitho maku mangĩkorwo marĩ mega, mwĩrĩ waku wothe nĩũrĩiyũragwo nĩ ũtheri.
The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore shall be the eye of you clear [the] whole body of you full of light will be;
23 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!
If however the eye of you evil shall be, all the body of you full of darkness will be. If then the light that [is] within you darkness is, that darkness how great!
24 “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.
No [one] is able two masters to serve; either for the one he will hate and the other he will love or to [the] one he will be devoted and the other he will despise. Not you are able God to serve and money.
25 “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?
Because of this I say to you; not do be anxious about the life of you what you may eat (or *N(k)O*) what you may drink, nor about the body of you what you may put on. Surely life more is [than] food and the body [than] clothing?
26 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?
do look at the birds of the air that not they sow nor do they reap nor do they gather into barns — and the Father of you Heavenly feeds them; Surely you yourselves much are more valuable than they?
27 Nũũ wanyu ũngĩhota kuongerera muoyo wake ithaa o na rĩmwe nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtanga?
Who now from you being anxious is able to add to the lifespan of him hour one?
28 “Na nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmaga mwĩtange nĩ ũndũ wa nguo? Ta rorai itoka cia gĩthaka ũrĩa ikũraga. Itirutaga wĩra kana ikogotha ndigi,
And about clothing why are you anxious? do observe the lilies of the field, how (they grow; *N(k)O*) not (do they labor *N(k)O*) nor (do they spin. *N(k)O*)
29 no ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, o na Solomoni arĩ na riiri wake wothe ndagemete ta kĩmwe gĩacio.
I say however to you that not even Solomon in all the glory of him was adorned like one of these.
30 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?
If however the grass of the field, today being [here] and tomorrow into [the] furnace being thrown, God thus clothes, surely much more you, O [you] of little faith?
31 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, tigagai gwĩtanga, mũkĩũria atĩrĩ: ‘Tũkũrĩa kĩĩ?’ kana ‘Tũkũnyua kĩĩ?’ kana ‘Tũkwĩhumba kĩĩ?’
Not therefore shall you be anxious saying; What shall we eat Or what shall we drink Or what shall we wear?
32 Nĩgũkorwo maũndũ maya mothe nĩmo macaragio nĩ andũ arĩa matetĩkĩtie Ngai. No Ithe wanyu wa igũrũ nĩoĩ atĩ nĩmũbataragio nĩmo.
All for these things the Gentiles (seek after; *N(k)O*) knows for the Father of you Heavenly that you need of them all.
33 No ambai mũcarie ũthamaki wake na ũthingu wake, na maũndũ maya mangĩ mothe o namo nĩarĩmũheaga.
do seek however first the kingdom of God and the righteousness of Him, and these things all will be added to you.
34 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio tigagai gwĩtanga nĩ ũndũ wa rũciũ, nĩgũkorwo rũciũ nĩrũgetangĩkĩra ruo rwene. O mũthenya ũrĩ na mathĩĩna maguo ma kũũigana.
Not therefore shall you be anxious about the [things] tomorrow; for tomorrow will be anxious about (*k*) itself. Sufficient to the day [is] the trouble of it.
