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 alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which 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.
Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound 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 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 which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
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 thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have 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 thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
7 “Pamumluwa Mlungu, nambotanga gambira wantu yawamumana ndiri Mlungu. Womberi walihola kuwera milungu yawu hayiwapikaniri toziya ya visoweru vyawu vivuwa.
But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen 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 ye 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 which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Ufalumi waku wizi, Shagufira shitendeki pasipanu gambira kumpindi.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
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 forgive our debtors.
13 Nagutwingiziya mukujerwa, Kumbiti gutulopoziyi kulawa kwa Mkondola ulii’.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amein.
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 appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
17 Kumbiti gwenga pagoya kuliya, guliswagi mtuwi gwaku lipaki na gunawi sheni shaku,
But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine 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 appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
19 “Namlitulira luhanja pasipanu, wameyi na kutu vihalibisiya na vimpegu wabomolanga na kwiwa.
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, 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 corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 Toziya palii paluwera luhanja lwaku, ndo haguweri moyu gwaku.
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22 “Lisu ndo limuliku lya nshimba. Handa lisu lyaku ndo likomu, nshimba yaku yoseri hayiweri mugulangala.
The light 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 that 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 the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve Elohim 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, Take no thought 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 meat, and the body than 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 fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27 Ndo gaa muwamu mwenu yakawera na lyoga kaweza kwongera shipindi sha kulikala pasipanu?
Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 “Ntambu gaa mulihola kuusu nguwu? Mloli uluwa wa muntundu ntambu yawukula, utenda ndiri lihengu pota na kupota.
And why take ye thought for 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.
And 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!
Wherefore, if Elohim 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?’
Therefore take no thought, 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 the kingdom of Elohim, 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.
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
