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 do your charitable giving before the people so as to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father who is in the heavens.
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.
Therefore, whenever you do charitable giving do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be praised by the people. Assuredly I say to you, they already have their reward.
3 Nambu veve peukumtangatila mngangu, kita jambu lenilo cha mfiyu hati vandu vangi vakotoka kumanya chewihenga.
But when you do charitable giving 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 charitable giving may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself repay you openly.
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 whenever you pray do not be like the hypocrites; for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners, so that they may be seen by the people. Assuredly I say to you that they already have their 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 you, whenever you pray, go into your room, and having shut the door pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will repay you openly.
7 Pemwikumuyupa Chapanga, mkoto kujovajova malovi gamahele ngati vandu vangammanya Chapanga. Muni vene vihololela kuvya Chapanga alavayuwanila ndava ya malovi gavi gamahele.
“But when you pray do not babble like the heathen; for they think that they will be heard for their many words.
8 Mkoto kuwanangana nawu. Dadi winu achimanyili chamwigana hati mwakona mwangayupa.
So do not be like them, because 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.
Therefore, you pray like this: ‘Our Father who is in the heavens, let Your name be reverenced;
10 Unkosi waku utibwelelai, chewigana veve chikitika, pamulima apa ngati cheyivii kunani kwa Chapanga.
let Your kingdom come, let Your will be done, on the earth just as in heaven.
11 Utipela lelu chakulya chitu cha magono goha.
Give us today our daily bread;
12 Utilekekesa tete getihokili, ngati tete chetikuvalekekesa vevatihokili.
and forgive us our debts, as we also forgive 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 do not bring us into testing, but rescue us from the evil one; because Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.’
14 Ngati mwakavalekekesa vandu kuhoka kwavi, Dadi winu wa kunani alavalekekesa nyenye mewawa mukumbudila kwinu.
For if you forgive people 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 people their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
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.
“Also, whenever you fast do not become gloomy like the hypocrites, because they disfigure their faces so that people will notice that they are fasting. Assuredly I say to you that they already have their 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 you do not appear to the people to be fasting, but to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will repay you.
19 Mkoto kuvika vibana apa pamulima, ndava vingokoko amala kutu vihalibu na vahiji videnya na kuyiva.
“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust ruin 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 lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust ruins and where thieves neither break in nor steal;
21 Muni pala pemwivika vibana vinu ndi pewivya mtima waku.
because 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 lamp of the body is the eye. So if your eye is sound, 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 eye is evil, your whole body will be full of darkness. So if the light that is in 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 is able to serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve 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 say to you not to worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?
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, that they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not superior to them?
27 Yani pagati yinu ndava ya kutyalatyala neju ihotola kuyonjokesa hati lukumbi ludebe lwa wumi waki?
And which of you can add one cubit to his stature by worrying?
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 the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither labor nor spin,
29 Nambu nikuvajovela, hati mwene Solomoni na unkosi waki awali lepi chakunyamba ngati limonga pagati ya maluva aga.
and yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was arrayed 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!
Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which exists today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, you little-faiths?
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 pagans seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need each of these things.
33 Ndi, mlonda hoti Unkosi waki Chapanga na geigana, na genago goha yati akuvayonjokesa.
Rather, seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to 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 its own affairs. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
