Mathayo 6
1 Kana upange makowe ganoite kwa bandu linga ubonekane, wapata kwaa thawabu buka kwa Tate abile kumaunde.
“Take heed not to do your kindness before men, to be seen by them, and if not—you have no reward from your Father who [is] in the heavens;
2 Kwaiyo mana kopiya kana upage ndoti na kuipuna mwene kati nanfiki babapanga mumasinagogi gabe ni mumitaa, linga panga bandu balumbe, kweli nenda kuakokiya, bayowine pokya thawabu yabe.
whenever, therefore, you may do kindness, you may not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do, in the synagogues, and in the streets, that they may have glory from men; truly I say to you, they have their reward!
3 Lakini wenga mana kopiya, liboko lyako lya mashoto kunkeya lwa mmalyo kana lutange chakipanga.
But you, doing kindness, do not let your left hand know what your right hand does,
4 linga panga zawadi yako ipijilwe kwa siri, ni Tate bako babakubona kwa siri alowa kukupeya zawadi yake ipiyilwa kwa siri.
that your kindness may be in secret, and your Father who is seeing in secret will reward you Himself.
5 paupanga, kana ube kati wa nnafiki, maana bapendike yema ni loba 'mumasinagogi ni mulukona, linga panga babonekane ni bandumkweli nenda kuakokiya bapokite thawabu yabe.
And when you may pray, you will not be as the hypocrites, because they cherish to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the broad places, that they may be seen of men; truly I say to you that they have their reward.
6 Lakini wenga, mana ulobie, kuyingii mu, chumba, ujigale nnango, ni ulobe kwa mwanja tate bako ywa abile musiri, Nga Tate bako ywaaibona siri alowa kupeya thawabu yako.
But you, when you may pray, go into your chamber, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who [is] in secret, and your Father who is seeing in secret will reward you.
7 Na paaloba, kana ukeme kwaa marudio kati ya apanga amataifa, kwasababu bawasa panga balowa kwayowa kwa mwanza makowe gabe gana nchima.
And—praying—you may not use vain repetitions like the nations, for they think that in their speaking much they will be heard,
8 Kwa eyo, kana mube kati bembe, mana Tate bako atangite ywagapala hata balo waloba kwake.
therefore do not be like them, for your Father knows those things that you have need of before your asking Him;
9 Kwa eyo, mulobe nyonyo, “Tate bitu waubile kumaunde, lina lyako litukuzwe.
therefore pray thus: Our Father who [is] in the heavens, hallowed be Your Name.
10 Upwalume wako uiche, champendile kipangilwe hapa pakilambo kati kwo kumaunde.
Your kingdom come, Your will come to pass, as in Heaven also on the earth.
11 Utupei lino nkate witu wa kila lisoba.
Give us today our appointed bread.
12 Utusamee madeni yitu, kati twenga twatuwasamee wadeni witu.
And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.
13 Kana utupei majaribu, lakini utulopwe ni yulu nchela.
And may You not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil [one], because Yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory—for all ages. Amen.
14 mana itei mwalowa kwasamiya kwa makosa gabe, Ni Tate bako ywabile kumaunde apala kwasamee mwenga.
For if you may forgive men their trespasses He also will forgive you—your Father who [is] in the heavens;
15 Lakini yaibile muwasamee kwaa makosa gabe, Tate binu awasamee kwaa makosa yinu ni mwenga.
but if you may not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
16 Zaidi ya yoti, mana autabike, kana ubonekane kuminyo kwati kekenaa kati anafiki mwabapaga, mana benda kekenala kuminyo yabe linga bababonikine ni bandu, panga batabike. Kweli niaalokiya, bayomwite pokya thawabu yabe.
And when you may fast, do not be as the hypocrites, of sour countenances, for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear to men fasting; truly I say to you that they have their reward.
17 Lakini wenga, mana utabike, upakile mauta mutwe wako ni uuluwe kuminyo.
But you, fasting, anoint your head, and wash your face,
18 Nyoo watanganikwa kwaa ni bandu panga utabike, ila Tate bako ywabile musiri, alowa kupeya thawabu yako.
that you may not appear to men fasting, but to your Father who [is] in secret, and your Father, who is seeing in secret, will reward you.
19 Kna ubeke akiba mukilambo, mabongo ni kutu yalowa alibiya, ni bai tekwana ni jiba.
Do not treasure up to yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust disfigure, and where thieves break through and steal,
20 Itunzie akiba yako mwene kumaunde, hakwo mabongo wala kutu ialabiya kwaa ni mwii aweza kwaa tekwana ni jiba.
but treasure up to yourselves treasures in Heaven, where neither moth nor rust disfigure, and where thieves do not break through nor steal,
21 Mana akiba yako paibile, ni mwoyo bako nga walowa baa.
for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22 Liyo nga taa ya payega, kwa eyo, mana itei liyo lyako likoto, yega yoti walowa panga ni bwega.
The lamp of the body is the eye, if, therefore, your eye may be perfect, all your body will be enlightened,
23 Lakini mana liyo lyene libou, yega yako yoti, iba twelya lybendo totoro. Kwa eyo, mana itei bweya waubile nkati yake lubendo hasa, lubendo lukolo kiasi gani!
but if your eye may be evil, all your body will be dark; if, therefore, the light that [is] in you is darkness—the darkness, how great!
24 Ntopo hata yumo ywaweza kwatumikya ngwana abele, mana alowa kunchukiya yumo ni umpenda ywenge, au alowa tama kwa yumo ni kunzalau ywenge, mwaweza kwaa kuntumikya Nnongo ni mali.
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; you are not able to serve God and wealth.
25 Kwa eyo nendakukokiya, kana mube ni masaka husi maisha gako, panga mwalwaa namani ni mwawala namani.
Because of this I say to you, do not be anxious for your life, what you may eat, and what you may drink, nor for your body, what you may put on. Is not life more than nourishment, and the body than clothing?
26 Lola iyuni ya kunani, bapanda kwaa, bauna kwaa, ni kana bakusanye ni kutunza mughala, lakini Tate binu ywaabile kumaunde ubalisha. Namani mwenga mwa thamani kwaa kuliko iyuni?
Look to the birds of the sky, for they do not sow, nor reap, nor gather into storehouses, and your heavenly Father nourishes them; are you not much better than they?
27 Nyai nkati yinu ywaisumbukiya ywa enda weza kwiyongeya miaka ya maisha gake?
And who of you, being anxious, is able to add to his age one cubit?
28 Mwanja namani mukonda mashaka husu mawalo? muwase maloba ga mumigunda, mwaganawili. Gapanga kwaa lyengo ni gaweza kwiwalika.
And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider well the lilies of the field; how do they grow? They do not labor, nor do they spin;
29 Bado niakokiya, hata Sulemani wakati wa utawala wake awalikwe kwa kati ga mulobe.
and I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed as one of these.
30 Mana itei Nnongo agawalika manyei mu'ng'unda ni gatama kwaa miaka yananchima malao baika kagataikulya kumwoto, tubwe kwa kitiwi mwalowa kumwalika mwenga, mwenga mwabile ni imani njene?
And if the herb of the field, that today is, and tomorrow is cast into the furnace, God so clothes—not much more you, O you of little faith?
31 Tubwe kana bube ni mashaka kamukoya,'mwakolongwa tulolya namani?'Au “Twalowa nywaa kele?” au twalowa waa ngobo gani?”
Therefore you may not be anxious, saying, What may we eat? Or, What may we drink? Or, [With] what may we be clothed?
32 Mana amataifa nembe bapala makowe aga, ni Tate binu ywa kumaunde atangite panga mwenda gapala goo.
For the nations seek for all these, for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these;
33 Lakini wete mupale utawala wake ni kweli wake ni ago goti mwalowa peyelwa.
but seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these will be added to you.
34 Kwa eyo, kana ubeke shaka kwaajili ya malabo, mana malabo yaisumbukya yene. Kila lisoba lyalengani kwa litatizo lyake lyene.
Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for its own things; sufficient for the day [is] the evil of it.”
