Matei 6
1 “Mjiyangalila mkoto kukita matendu ginu gabwina pamihu ga vandu, ndava ya kujilangisa kwavi. Ndava muni mwakakita genago mwipata lepi njombi kuhuma kwa Dadi winu mweavi kunani.”
“Be careful not to perform your righteous acts before men to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
2 “Hinu, mukavatangatila vangangu, ukoto kujikokosa kotoka kukita ngati vandu vevakujikita kuvya vabwina munyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi na munjila muni vandu vavalumba. Nikuvajovela chakaka venavo vamali kupewa njombi yavi.
So when you give to the needy, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward.
3 Nambu veve peukumtangatila mngangu, kita jambu lenilo cha mfiyu hati vandu vangi vakotoka kumanya chewihenga.
But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
4 Mpela luteta lwaku chamfiyu na Dadi waku akugalola gegafiyiki yati akukupela njombi.”
so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
5 Pemwiyupa kwa Chapanga, mkotoka kuvya ngati vandu vavakujikita kuvya vabwina, vene vigana kuyima munyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi na malekanganu ga njila, muni vandu vavalola. Nikuvajovela chakaka vene vamali kupewa njombi yavi.
And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward.
6 Nambu veve peukumuyupa Chapanga, uyingila muchumba chaku, dinda mlyangu, uyupa kwa Dadi winu mweangalolekana. Mwene Dadi waku akugalola gegafiyiki, yati akukupela njombi.
But when you pray, go into your inner room, shut your door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
7 Pemwikumuyupa Chapanga, mkoto kujovajova malovi gamahele ngati vandu vangammanya Chapanga. Muni vene vihololela kuvya Chapanga alavayuwanila ndava ya malovi gavi gamahele.
And when you pray, do not babble on like pagans, for they think that by their many words they will be heard.
8 Mkoto kuwanangana nawu. Dadi winu achimanyili chamwigana hati mwakona mwangayupa.
Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.
9 Hinu, nyenye pemkuyumpa Chapanga, mjova naha: Dadi witu wewitama kunani, Liina laku lilumbiwa neju.
So then, this is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.
10 Unkosi waku utibwelelai, chewigana veve chikitika, pamulima apa ngati cheyivii kunani kwa Chapanga.
Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Utipela lelu chakulya chitu cha magono goha.
Give us this day our daily bread.
12 Utilekekesa tete getihokili, ngati tete chetikuvalekekesa vevatihokili.
And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 Ukotoka kutiyingisa mukulingiwa, nambu utisangula na mhakau yula. Ndava muni Unkosi na ukulu na makakala ndi vyaku hati magono goha gangali na mwishu.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’
14 Ngati mwakavalekekesa vandu kuhoka kwavi, Dadi winu wa kunani alavalekekesa nyenye mewawa mukumbudila kwinu.
For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15 Nambu ngati nakuvalekekesa vangi kuhoka kwavi, mewawa Dadi winu alavalekekesa lepi nyenye kumbudila kwinu.
But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive yours.
16 Pemukujihisa kulya chakulya ndava ya Bambu, mkoto kulangisa ungolongondi ngati vandu vevakujikita kuvya vabwina, vene vikwinyana pamihu pavi, muni vawonekana pavandu ngati vajihinisi kulya chakulya ndava ya Bambu. Nikuvajovela chakaka venavo vamali kupata njombi yavi.
When you fast, do not be somber like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces to show men they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward.
17 Nambu veve peukujihinisa kulya chakulya ndava ya Bambu, samba manji pamihu na unyala mahuta pamutu.
But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,
18 Muni mundu yeyoha akotoka kumanya kuvya kujihisa kulya chakulya, ndi umanyikana kwa Dadi waku ndu mweangalolekana. Namwene akugalola gegafiyiki, yati akupela njombi.
so that your fasting will not be obvious to men, but only to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
19 Mkoto kuvika vibana apa pamulima, ndava vingokoko amala kutu vihalibu na vahiji videnya na kuyiva.
Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
20 Nambu mjivikila vibana vinu kunani kwa Chapanga kwenuko vingokoko amala kutu nakuhalabika na amala vahiji videnuya lepi na kuyiva.
But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
21 Muni pala pemwivika vibana vinu ndi pewivya mtima waku.
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
22 Lihu laku ndi hahi ya higa yaku, ngati lihu laku lilola bwina, higa yaku yoha yivya mulumuli,
The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light.
23 nambu ngati lihu laku lilola lepi bwina, ndi higa yaku yoha yivya muchitita. Hinu, chilanga chechivii mugati yaku chikavya chitita, chakaka cheni ndi chitita chivaha neju!
But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 Avi lepi mvanda, mweihotola kuvahengela vabambu vavili. Muni yati akumgana mmonga na kumvenga yungi, yati akumgana neju mmonga na kumvevesa yungi. Mwihotola lepi kumhengela Chapanga na bahapo kuhengela vindu vyamahele.
No one can serve two masters: Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
25 Ndi nikuvajovela, mkoto kutyalatyala ndava ya chakulya na chemwinywa vyamgana muni mutama, amala ndava ya nyula zemwigana ndava ya higa yinu. Wu, wumi chindu chivaha lepi kuliku chakulya? Na higa ndi ya maana lepi kuliku nyula?
Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?
26 Mlola videge, vimija lepi amala kubena mewa vivi lepi na chibana chochoha. Pamonga na ago Dadi winu mweavi kunani akuvapela chakulya. Wu, nyenye chindu chivaha lepi kuliku videge?
Look at the birds of the air: They do not sow or reap or gather into barns—and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
27 Yani pagati yinu ndava ya kutyalatyala neju ihotola kuyonjokesa hati lukumbi ludebe lwa wumi waki?
Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
28 Ndava kyani, kutyalatyala ndava ya nyula? Mlola maluva ga mudahi cheginyamba. Gihenga lepi lihengu amala gitota lepi nyula.
And why do you worry about clothes? Consider how the lilies of the field grow: They do not labor or spin.
29 Nambu nikuvajovela, hati mwene Solomoni na unkosi waki awali lepi chakunyamba ngati limonga pagati ya maluva aga.
Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.
30 Ngati Chapanga akuliwalika linyai la kumgunda, nambu lelu livii na chilau kutaga kumotu, wu, nakuvahengela neju nyenye? Nyenye vandu mwemusadika padebe!
If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31 Hinu, mkoto kutyalatyala, yati tilya kiki? Yati tinywa kiki? Tiwala kyani?
Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
32 Muni ago goha gitangatiliwa na vandu vangamlanda Chapanga. Dadi winu mweavi kunani amanyili kuvya mwigana goha ago.
For the Gentiles strive after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
33 Ndi, mlonda hoti Unkosi waki Chapanga na geigana, na genago goha yati akuvayonjokesa.
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.
34 Hinu mkoto kutyalatyala ndava ya chilau. Chilau yivii gaki, mang'ahiso ga ligono limonga gakuvakola.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.
