Matei 6
1 “Mwiteiganje nnatendanje indu ya mmbone pa bhandu nkupinga bhammonanje. Nngabha nneyo, Ainabhenunji bha kunnungu bhakampanganga upo.
“Qaphelani ukuthi lingenzi izenzo zokulunga phambi kwabantu ukuze balibone. Nxa lisenza njalo kaliyikuba lomvuzo ovela kuYihlo ezulwini.
2 “Bhai, punkunnjangutila jwangali shindu, nnagombe mmbila. Nnatende malinga shibhaatendanga bhagulumba mmashinagogi na mmipanda, nkupinga bhalumbililwanje na bhandunji. Kweli ngunakunnugulilanga, bhene bhanganyabho bhapatilenje upo yabhonji.
Ngakho nxa lisipha abaswelayo, lingamemezeli indawo yonke njengokwenziwa ngabazenzisi emasinagogweni lasezitaladini ukuze badunyiswe ngabantu. Ngilitshela iqiniso, sebewemukele owabo umvuzo ngokugcweleyo.
3 Ikabheje punkunnjangutila mundu jwangali shindu, nkali mundu jwa tome na mmwe, anamumanye inkutenda.
Kodwa nxa lina lisipha abaswelayo isandla senu sokhohlo kasingakwazi lokho esikwenzayo esokunene,
4 Nshoye mbepei yenu kwa nng'iyo, na Ainabhenu bhakwiibhona indu ya nng'iyo, shibhanng'upe.
ukuze ukupha kwenu kube sensitha. Ngakho uYihlo obona okwenziwa ensitha uzalipha umvuzo wenu.”
5 “Punkwaajuganga a Nnungu, nnatendanje malinga bhagulumba. Pabha bhanganyabho, pubhajuganga bhanaapinganga kujima mmashinagogi na nnyenje mipanda nkupinga bhalolwanje na bhandunji. Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, bhalabhonji bhapatilenje upo yabhonji.
“Nxa likhuleka lingabi njengabazenzisi ngoba bona bathanda ukukhuleka bemi emasinagogweni lasemakhoneni ezitalada ukuze babonwe ngabantu. Ngilitshela iqiniso ukuthi sebewutholile owabo umvuzo ngokugcweleyo.
6 Ikabheje mmwe punkwaajuga a Nnungu, nnjinjile kukati jenu, nng'ugale nnango, mwaajuje Ainabhenu bhakabhonekana. Na bhalabho Ainabhenu bhakwibhona indu ya nng'iyo, shibhanng'upe.
Nxa likhuleka, ngenani ezindlini zenu, livale iminyango beselikhuleka kuYihlo ongabonakaliyo. Ngakho uYihlo obona okwenziwa ensitha uzalipha umvuzo wenu.
7 “Punkwaajuganga a Nnungu, nnajobhelanje malinga bhandunji bhangabha Bhayaudi. Pabha pubhaaganishiyanga kuti a Nnungu shibhaapilikanilanje kwa ligongo lya gwinji gwa malobhe gabhonji.
Njalo nxa likhuleka lingenzi ubugabazi, linqongoloza njengabahedeni ngoba bacabanga ukuthi bazezwakala ngenxa yamazwi abo amanengi.
8 Nnabhanganje malinga bhanganyabho. Pabha Ainabhenunji bhaimanyi inkupinganga, nkali nkanabhe kwaajuganga.
Lingabi njengabo ngoba uYihlo uyakwazi elikuswelayo loba lingakakuceli kuye.”
9 Bhai, nnjuganje nnei, ‘Atati nni kunnungu, Lina lyenu likuywe.
“Kumele likhuleke kanje: ‘Baba wethu osezulwini, kalidunyiswe ibizo lakho,
10 Upalume gwenu guishe. Linkupinga mmwe litendeshe pa shilambolyo malinga shiikutendeka kunnunguko.
umbuso wakho kawuze, intando yakho kayenziwe emhlabeni njengalokhu isenziwa ezulwini.
11 Ntupe lelo shalya sha togolela lelo.
Siphe lamuhla isinkwa sethu sansukuzonke.
12 Ntuleshelele itulebhile, malinga na uwe shitukwaaleshelelanga bhatulebhilenje.
Njalo usithethelele izono zethu, njengoba lathi sibathethelela abasonelayo.
13 Nnatubhishe mmalinjilo, ikabheje ntuembuye naka Lishetani jula. Pabha upalume ni gwenu na mashili na ukonjelo pitipiti. Amina.’
Njalo ungasingenisi ekulingweni, kodwa usisindise komubi.’
14 “Pabha Mwaaleshelelangaga bhandu ibhannebhilenje, nneyo peyo Ainabhenunji bha kunnungu shibhanneshelelanje innebhilenje.
Ngoba nxa libathethelela abayabe belonile, uYihlo osezulwini laye uzalithethelela.
15 Ikabheje nkaaleshelelanje bhandunji yambi yabhonji, na bhalabho Ainabhenunji bhakanneshelelanga innebhilenje.
Kodwa nxa lingabathetheleli abantu izono zabo, uYihlo kayikulithethelela lani izono zenu.”
16 “Punkutabhanga, nnaumalanje kumeyo malinga bhagulumba. Bhanaumalanga kumeyo nkupinga bhabhonekanje na bhandu kuti bhashitabhanga. Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga bhanganyabho, bhapatilenje upo yabhonji.
“Lapho lizila ukudla, lingabonakali linyukubele njengalokhu okwenziwa ngabazenzisi ngoba bakhangeleka bedanile ebusweni babo ukuze abantu babone ukuthi bazilile. Ngilitshela iqiniso ngithi sebewutholile owabo umvuzo ngokugcweleyo.
17 Ikabheje mmwe punkutabha, nnabhe kumeyo na mpakale mauta muntwe.
Kodwa lina nxa lizila, gcobani amafutha emakhanda enu, ligeze ubuso benu,
18 Nkupinga bhandunji bhanamumanyanje kuti nnatabha, ikabheje mmanyishepe na Ainabhenu bhakaabhoneka, nabhalabho Ainabhenu bhakwiibhona ya nng'iyo shibhanng'upe.
ukuze kungabonakali ebantwini ukuthi lizilile, kodwa kuYihlo kuphela ongabonakaliyo njalo yena obona okwenziwa ensitha uzalipha umvuzo wenu.”
19 “Nnaibhishilanje shibhiko pa shilambolyo pano, ipukuu na nkubha inaangabhanya na bhagwii bhanakaaanga nijibha.
“Lingazibutheleli inotho emhlabeni lapho okubhubhisa khona inondo lokuthomba njalo lapho okugqekeza khona amasela.
20 Ikabhe mwibhishilanje indu yenunji kunnungu kwikaangabhanika na ipukuu na nkubha, nkali bhagwii bhakakaanga nijibha.
Kodwa zibutheleleni inotho ezulwini lapho kungabhujiswa khona linondo lokuthomba njalo lapho okungagqekezi khona amasela.
21 Pabha pushili shibhiko shenu, na ntima gwenu shugubhe popo.
Ngoba lapho okulenotho yakho khona kulapho inhliziyo yakho ezakuba khona.
22 “Liyo mbuti kandili ja shiilu, bhai liyo libhaga lyalikoto, shililangaye shiilu shenu showe.
Ilihlo liyisibane somzimba. Nxa amehlo akho elungile umzimba wakho wonke uzagcwala ukukhanya.
23 Ikabheje liyo libhaga lilwele shiilu shenu showe shishibhe nnubhindu. Bhai, ibhaga shilangaya shili nkati jenu shilepelaga kulangaya, shilubhe lubhindu lwa punda!
Kodwa nxa amehlo akho engahlambulukanga umzimba wakho wonke uzagcwala ubumnyama. Nxa ukukhanya okungaphakathi kwakho kungumnyama, pho mkhulu kanganani lowomnyama!
24 “Jwakwa ntumwa akombola kwaatumishilanga bhakulungwanji bhabhili, pabha shanshime jumo nikumpinga junajo, eu shalongane naka jumo nikumpetekuya junajo. Nkakombola kwaatumishila a Nnungu na tumishila mali.
Kakulanceku engakhonza amakhosi amabili. Funa izonde enye kodwa ithande enye, kumbe izinikele kwenye yeyise enye. Lingezake likhonze uNkulunkulu lemali.”
25 “Kwa nneyo ngunakummalanjilanga, nnakolanje lipamba ga gumi gwenunji, kuti nniyanganje nndi eu mpapilanje nndi, wala ga iilu yenunji kuti nng'walanje nndi. Bhuli, gumi ukapunda shalya? Bhuli, shiilu shikapunda iwalo?
“Ngakho ngiyalitshela ukuthi lingakhathazeki ngokuphila kwenu, ukuthi lizakudlani loba lizanathani; kumbe ngemizimba yenu, ukuthi lizagqokani. Impilo kayiqakathekanga ukwedlula ukudla na, lomzimba ukwedlula izigqoko na?
26 Mwilolanje ijuni ya mukonde, ikapanda, wala ikauna na wala yangali nngokwe jojowe. Nkali nneyo Ainabhenunji bha kunnungu bhanakwiiliya. Bhuli, mmanganyanji nngabha mmammbonenji kupunda ijuniyo?
Khangelani izinyoni zasemoyeni; kazihlanyeli, kazivuni kumbe ukubuthela eziphaleni kodwa uYihlo osezulwini uyazipha ukudla. Lina kaliqakathekanga ukwedlula zona na?
27 Gani munkumbi gwenunji kwa kola lipamba kwakwe anakombola kwijenjesheya kapela lyubha limo lya mobha gakwe galama?
Ngubani kini othi ngokukhathazeka angezelele ihola elilodwa empilweni yakhe na?
28 “Kwa nndi kola lipamba ga iwalo? Nnolanje malubha ga mukonde shigakutikonja? Gakakamula liengo wala gakapota.
Kanti lizihluphelani ngezigqoko na? Ake libone ukuthi amaluba eganga akhula njani. Kawasebenzi njalo aweluki.
29 Ikabheje ngunakummalanjilanga, nkali a Mpalume a Shelemani bhayene na yowe ibhaakwete bhangawashwa kwa konja malinga lilubha limo.
Kodwa ngilitshela ukuthi laye uSolomoni ekucwebezeleni kwakhe kazange acece njengawo.
30 Bhai ibhaga a Nnungu bhanakuliwasha liamba lya mmigunda, lelo lipali na malabhi lilileshelwa pa lituto lya moto, bhuli bhakapunda kunng'washanga mmanganyanji? Mmanganya nkwetenje ngulupai jishoko.
Nxa kuyiyo indlela uNkulunkulu ahlobisa ngayo utshani beganga, obukhona namuhla kodwa kusasa sebuphoselwa emlilweni, pho lina kazukuligqokisa ngcono yini, lina bokukholwa okuncinyane?
31 “Bhai, nnakolanje lipamba, ‘Shitulye indi eu shitupapile indi eu shituwale indi!’
Ngakho lingazihluphi lisithi, ‘Sizakudlani?’ kumbe ‘Sizanathani?’ loba ‘Sizavunulani na?’
32 Pabha bhandu bhakakwaamanyanga a Nnungu bhanaabhushilanga yene yoweyo. Ainabhenunji bhali kunnungu bhamumanyi kuti nnakwiipinganga indu yoweyo.
Ngoba abezizweni bagijimela zonke lezizinto kodwa uYihlo osezulwini uyakwazi ukuthi liyazidinga.
33 Ikabhe, nnoleyanje oti Upalume gwa a Nnungu na aki jabho na gene gowego, a Nnungu shibhannjenjesheyanje.
Kodwa funani kuqala umbuso wakhe lokulunga kwakhe, kuzakuthi-ke zonke lezizinto liziphiwe lazo.
34 Bhai, nnaabhushilanje ya malabhi, pabha malabhi shigaiabhushile gayene. Shilaje sha lyubha limo shinatogolela kwa lyubha lyolyo.
Ngakho lingazihluphi ngelakusasa ngoba ikusasa lizazinqinekela lona. Usuku lunye ngalunye lulenhlupho zalo oluzaneleyo.”
