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.
"Be careful that you do not do your righteousness before people, to be seen by them, or else you have no reward from 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.
Therefore when you practice charitable giving, do not sound a trumpet before yourself, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may get glory from people. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward.
3 Kumbiti gwenga pagumpanana vintu muhushu, gutendi ntambu ayi ata ganja gwaku nakavimana shagutenda.
But when you practice charitable giving, do not let your left hand know what your right hand does,
4 Shilii shagutenditi hashiweri muubada. Tati gwaku yakawona muubada, hakakupi lifupu.
so that your charitable giving may be in secret, then your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
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 you pray, you are not to 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 by others. Truly, I tell 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 you, when you pray, enter into your inner chamber, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
7 “Pamumluwa Mlungu, nambotanga gambira wantu yawamumana ndiri Mlungu. Womberi walihola kuwera milungu yawu hayiwapikaniri toziya ya visoweru vyawu vivuwa.
And in praying, do not use vain repetitions, as the unbelievers do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking.
8 Namuwera gambira womberi. Tati gwenu kavimana kala galii gamfira pamberi pa kumluwa.
Therefore do not be like them, for your Father knows what things you need, before you ask him.
9 Su, hangu ndo ntambu yamfiruwa kumluwa Mlungu, ‘Tati gwetu gwa kumpindi, Litawu lyaku likwiswi.
Therefore, you should pray this way: 'Our Father in heaven, holy be your name.
10 Ufalumi waku wizi, Shagufira shitendeki pasipanu gambira kumpindi.
Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Gutupanani leru shiboga shetu sha kila lishaka.
Give us today our daily bread.
12 Gutulekiziyi vidoda vya twenga, ntambu yatuwalekeziyiti yawatutendiriti vidoda.
And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.
13 Nagutwingiziya mukujerwa, Kumbiti gutulopoziyi kulawa kwa Mkondola ulii’.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.'
14 “Toziya pamuwalekeziya wantu vidoda vyawu, Tati gwenu gwa kumpindi hakawalekiziyani mwenga.
"For if you forgive people their wrongdoing, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15 Kumbiti pamuwalekeziya ndiri wantu vidoda vyawu, Tati gwenu hapeni kawalekiziyi mwenga vidoda vyenu.
But if you do not forgive people, neither will your Father forgive your wrongdoing.
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 you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, with sad faces. For they disfigure their faces, that they may be seen by people to be fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward.
17 Kumbiti gwenga pagoya kuliya, guliswagi mtuwi gwaku lipaki na gunawi sheni shaku,
But you, when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your face;
18 Su, muntu yoseri nakavimana handa gwoya kuliya, Su gumanikani hera Tati gwaku yakawonekana ndiri. Na Tati gwaku yakawona shagutenda muubada, hakakupanani lifupu.
so that you are not seen by people to be fasting, but by your Father who is in secret, and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.
19 “Namlitulira luhanja pasipanu, wameyi na kutu vihalibisiya na vimpegu wabomolanga na kwiwa.
"Do not store up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and decay destroy, 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 store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor decay destroy, and where thieves do not break through and steal;
21 Toziya palii paluwera luhanja lwaku, ndo haguweri moyu gwaku.
for where your treasure is, there your heart will 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 your eye is sound, your whole body will 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 your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is 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 one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both 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 tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
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?
See the birds of the sky, that they do not sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns, and your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not 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 to his height?
28 “Ntambu gaa mulihola kuusu nguwu? Mloli uluwa wa muntundu ntambu yawukula, utenda ndiri lihengu pota na kupota.
And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They do not toil, neither do they spin,
29 Kumbiti nuwagambirani, ata Mfalumi Selemani mweni na ulunda wakuwi woseri wamvalisiya ndiri nguwu ziherepa gambira uluwa awu.
yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed 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 so clothes the grass of the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, won't he much more clothe you, you of little faith?
31 “Su, namwera na lyoga, ‘Shiboga shangu hashilawi koshi? Ama hatulandi shishi? Ama hatuvali shishi?’
"Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?', 'What will we drink?' or, 'With what will we be clothed?'
32 Vyoseri avi, wantu yawamumana ndiri Mlungu wavisakula. Tati gwenu gwa kumpindi kavimana kuwera mfira vintu vyoseri avi.
For the unbelievers seek after all these things, for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
33 Su, mtendiwuti Ufalumi wa Mlungu na galii gakafira Mlungu na aga goseri hakakupanani nyongeru.
But seek first the Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
34 Su, namwana lyoga kuusu shirawu, shirawu hailiholi yeni. Magaziwu ga lishaka limu gankuwatosha kwa lishaka ali.
Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
