Matayu 6
1 “Mulikali weri namwiza kutenda matendu genu gagamfiriziya Mlungu kulongolu kwa wantu su mfira wakuloleni. Handa pamtenda hangu, Tati gwenu kakumpindi hapeni kawapanani mafupu.
Take heed that ye do not your righteousness before men, to be seen of them: else ye have no reward with your Father who is in heaven.
2 “Su, pagumpanana vintu muhushu nagulibwera, nagutenda gambira wafyangu ntambu yawatenda mnumba za Mlungu na munjira wantenda hangu su wantu wawakwisi. Nukugambirani nakaka, wantu awa wapata kala mafupu gawu goseri.
When therefore thou doest alms, sound not a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have received their reward.
3 Kumbiti gwenga pagumpanana vintu muhushu, gutendi ntambu ayi ata ganja gwaku nakavimana shagutenda.
But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
4 Shilii shagutenditi hashiweri muubada. Tati gwaku yakawona muubada, hakakupi lifupu.
that thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father who seeth in secret shall recompense thee.
5 “Pamluwa Mlungu namtenda gambira wafyangu! Womberi wafira kugoloka na kumluwa Mlungu pakati pa numba za Mlungu na pakati pa mbwega za njira su wantu wawaloli. Nukugambirani nakaka, womberi wapata kala mafupu gawu goseri.
And when ye pray, ye shall not be as the hypocrites: for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have received their reward.
6 Kumbiti gwenga pagumluwa Mlungu, gwingiri mushumba shaku, gutati mlyangu, shakapanu gumluwi Tati gwaku yakawoneka ndiri. Na Tati gwaku yakawona vintu vya muubada, hakakupanani lifupu.
But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thine inner chamber, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret, and thy Father who seeth in secret shall recompense thee.
7 “Pamumluwa Mlungu, nambotanga gambira wantu yawamumana ndiri Mlungu. Womberi walihola kuwera milungu yawu hayiwapikaniri toziya ya visoweru vyawu vivuwa.
And in praying use not vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8 Namuwera gambira womberi. Tati gwenu kavimana kala galii gamfira pamberi pa kumluwa.
Be not therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
9 Su, hangu ndo ntambu yamfiruwa kumluwa Mlungu, ‘Tati gwetu gwa kumpindi, Litawu lyaku likwiswi.
After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Ufalumi waku wizi, Shagufira shitendeki pasipanu gambira kumpindi.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth.
11 Gutupanani leru shiboga shetu sha kila lishaka.
Give us this day our daily bread.
12 Gutulekiziyi vidoda vya twenga, ntambu yatuwalekeziyiti yawatutendiriti vidoda.
And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 Nagutwingiziya mukujerwa, Kumbiti gutulopoziyi kulawa kwa Mkondola ulii’.
And bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil [one].
14 “Toziya pamuwalekeziya wantu vidoda vyawu, Tati gwenu gwa kumpindi hakawalekiziyani mwenga.
For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15 Kumbiti pamuwalekeziya ndiri wantu vidoda vyawu, Tati gwenu hapeni kawalekiziyi mwenga vidoda vyenu.
But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
16 “Pamleka kuliya, namhinginika kusheni ntambu yawatenda wafyangu. Womberi wahinginika kusheni kwawu, su kila muntu kamloli handa woya kuliya. Nuwagambirani nakaka, womberi wapata kala mafupu gawu.
Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may be seen of men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have received their reward.
17 Kumbiti gwenga pagoya kuliya, guliswagi mtuwi gwaku lipaki na gunawi sheni shaku,
But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thy head, and wash thy face;
18 Su, muntu yoseri nakavimana handa gwoya kuliya, Su gumanikani hera Tati gwaku yakawonekana ndiri. Na Tati gwaku yakawona shagutenda muubada, hakakupanani lifupu.
that thou be not seen of men to fast, but of thy Father who is in secret: and thy Father, who seeth in secret, shall recompense thee.
19 “Namlitulira luhanja pasipanu, wameyi na kutu vihalibisiya na vimpegu wabomolanga na kwiwa.
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 Mlituliri luhanja lwenu kumpindi, kweni wamehi na kutu hapeni waluharibisii na vimpegu hapeni wabomolangi na kwiwa.
but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 Toziya palii paluwera luhanja lwaku, ndo haguweri moyu gwaku.
for where thy treasure is, there will thy heart be also.
22 “Lisu ndo limuliku lya nshimba. Handa lisu lyaku ndo likomu, nshimba yaku yoseri hayiweri mugulangala.
The lamp of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
23 Handa lisu lyaku palilwala, nshimba yaku yoseri hayiweri muntiti. Su, gulangala waguwera mngati mwaku ndo ntiti, su ayi ndo ntiti ya kulyogisiya nentu!
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is the darkness!
24 “Kwahera muntu yakaweza kuwatendera watuwa wawili, toziya hakamkalaliri yumu na kumfira yumonga, ama hakamjimiri yumu na kumbeza yumonga. Hapeni mumtenderi Mlungu na mpiya.
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
25 “Ndo mana nuwagambirani, namtira kuusu shiboga na shilandwa vyamfira su mulikali, ama hamvali shishi. Hashi, makaliru ndo shiboga hera ama nentu? Na nshimba hashi handa nentu ndiri ya nguwu?
Therefore I say unto you, Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than the food, and the body than the raiment?
26 Muwaloli wampongu wa muntundu, wayala ndiri mbeyu na wabena ndiri, wala wahera luwanja loseri. Ata hangu, Tati gwenu gwa kumpindi kawaliyiziya! Hashi, mwenga mwamana ndiri kuliku wampongu awa?
Behold the birds of the heaven, that they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not ye of much more value than they?
27 Ndo gaa muwamu mwenu yakawera na lyoga kaweza kwongera shipindi sha kulikala pasipanu?
And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit unto the measure of his life?
28 “Ntambu gaa mulihola kuusu nguwu? Mloli uluwa wa muntundu ntambu yawukula, utenda ndiri lihengu pota na kupota.
And why are ye anxious concerning raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 Kumbiti nuwagambirani, ata Mfalumi Selemani mweni na ulunda wakuwi woseri wamvalisiya ndiri nguwu ziherepa gambira uluwa awu.
yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Payiwera, Mlungu kaluvalusiya luhamba lwa mlushi hangu lweni leru lwa palaa na shirawu lwaswa mumotu. Hashi, hakawatenderi mwenga nentu? Mwenga wantu mwana moyu mdidini!
But if God doth so clothe the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, [shall he] not much more [clothe] you, O ye of little faith?
31 “Su, namwera na lyoga, ‘Shiboga shangu hashilawi koshi? Ama hatulandi shishi? Ama hatuvali shishi?’
Be not therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 Vyoseri avi, wantu yawamumana ndiri Mlungu wavisakula. Tati gwenu gwa kumpindi kavimana kuwera mfira vintu vyoseri avi.
For after all these things do the Gentiles seek; for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 Su, mtendiwuti Ufalumi wa Mlungu na galii gakafira Mlungu na aga goseri hakakupanani nyongeru.
But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Su, namwana lyoga kuusu shirawu, shirawu hailiholi yeni. Magaziwu ga lishaka limu gankuwatosha kwa lishaka ali.
Be not therefore anxious for the morrow: for the morrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
