Mathaio 6
1 “Mme elang tlhoko! Se direng tshiamo ya lona fa pele ga batho gore ba lo tlotle, fa lo dira jalo ga lona go bona tuelo e e tswang kwa go Rraeno yo o kwa legodimong.
Beware of doing your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them; otherwise you have no reward with your Father who is in heaven.
2 Fa o naya mokopi mpho, se bue kaga yone mo mpepeneneng jaaka baitimokanyi ba dira: ba letsa ditorompeta mo dikerekeng le mo mebileng ya motse gore ditiro tsa bone tsa lorato di tle di bonwe! Ke a lo bolelela ka pelo yotlhe, ba setse ba amogetse tuelo yotlhe, e ba neng ba tlaa e bona.
When, therefore, you do a charitable deed, do not cause a trumpet to be sounded before you, as the hypocrites do, in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be glorified by men. Verily, I say to you, They have their reward.
3 Mme fa o direla mongwe tshiamo, ka sephiri, se bolelele lebogo la gago la molema se se dirwang ke lebogo la moja.
But when you do a charitable deed, let not your left hand know what your right hand does;
4 Mme Rraeno yo o itseng diphiri tsotlhe o tla go duela.
that your charitable deeds may be in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, himself will reward you openly.
5 “Mme jaanong kaga thapelo. Fa lo rapela, lo se ka lwa nna jaaka baitimokanyi ba ba ipaang jaaka o ka re ke ba ba obamelang Modimo ka go rapela mo ponong ya mongwe le mongwe mo makopanelong a mebila le mo dikerekeng mo ba ka bonwang ke mongwe le mongwe teng. Ammaaruri ke yone tuelo yotlhe e ba tlaa lalang ba e bonye.
And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites; for they love to pray standing in the synagogues, and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Verily, I say to you, They have their reward.
6 Mme fa o rapela, tsamaya o le nosi, o itswalele mo tlung mme o rapele Rraeno ka sephiri, mme Rraeno yo o itseng diphiri tsa gago, o tlaa go duela.
But do you, when you pray, go into your closet, and when you have closed the door, pray to your Father who is in secret: and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
7 “Se, boaboele thapelo ya gago jaaka baheitane ba dira, ba ba gopolang gore dithapelo di arabiwa fela ka go boaboelwa. Gakologelwa gore Rrago o itse se tota o se tlhokang pele ga o mo kopa!
But when you pray, do not use vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they will be heard for their many words.
Be not, therefore, like them; for your Father knows what things you need before you ask him.
9 Rapelang jaana: ‘Rraetsho yo o kwa legodimong re tlotla leina la gago le le itshephileng.
In this manner, therefore, pray you: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
10 Re kopa gore bogosi jwa gago bo tle ka bofefo. A go rata ga gago go dirwe mono lefatshing jaaka go dirwa kwa legodimong.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is done in heaven.
11 Re neele dijo tsa rona gape gompieno jaaka malatsi otlhe.
Give us this day the bread for our support.
12 Mme o re itshwarele dibe tsa rona, jaaka re itshwaretse ba ba re leofetseng.
And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.
13 Se re ise mo thaelong, mme o re golole mo go yo o bosula. Amen.’
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the Evil One.
14 Rraeno wa Legodimo o tlaa go itshwarela, fa o itshwarela ba ba go leofelang, mme fa o gana go ba itshwarela ga a kitla a go itshwarela.
For if you forgive men their offenses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
But if you forgive not men their offenses, neither will your Father forgive your offenses.
16 “Jaanong ka ga go ikitsa dijo; fa o ikitsa dijo, o tlogela dijo ka maikaelelo a semowa, se dire jalo mo mpepeneneng, jaaka baitimokanyi ba dira ba leka go itlhontsha difatlhogo le go tlhoka go apara sentle gore batho ba ba utlwele botlhoko. Ammaaruri, ke yone tuelo e ba tlaa lalang ba e bonye.
And when you fast, do not put on a sad countenance, as the hypocrites do; for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear to men to be fasting. Verily, I say to you, They have their reward.
17 “Mme fa o ikitsa dijo, apara sentle,
But do you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face;
18 Gore le fa e le ope a seka a belaela gore o bolailwe ke tlala, fa e se Rraeno fela yo o itseng sephiri sengwe le sengwe. Mme o tlaa go duela.
that you may not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
19 “Se boloke dikhumo tsa gago fano mo lefatshing mo di ka senyegang kgotsa tsa utswiwa.
Lay not up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal.
20 Di boloke kwa legodimong kwa di se kitlang di latlhegelwa ke tlhwatlhwa teng, di bolokesegile mo magodung!
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes, and where thieves do not break through, nor steal.
21 “Fa dikhumo tsa gago di le kwa legodimong le pelo ya gago e tlaa nna teng.
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22 “Fa leitlho la gago le itshekile go tlaa nna lesedi mo pelong ya gago.
The lamp of the body is the eye: if, therefore, your eye be sound, your whole body will be light:
23 Mme fa leitlho la gago le sirilwe ke dikgopolo tse di bosula le dikeletso, o mo botennye jwa lefifi la semowa. Ao, kana lefifi leo le ka nna legolo thata jang!
But if your eye be diseased, your whole body will be dark. If therefore, the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 “Ga o ka ke wa direla barena ba le babedi: Modimo le madi. Ka o tla ila yo mongwe o rate yo mongwe, kgotsa go nne ka tsela e sele.
No one can serve two masters: for he will either hate the one and love the other; or he will hold to the one, and neglect the other. You can not serve God and riches.
25 “Jalo he, tlhagiso ya me ke e: se tshwenyegeng ka ga dilo-ebong dijo, dino, madi le diaparo. Ka gore o setse o na le botshelo le mmele-mme di botlhokwa go na le se se tshwanetseng go jewa le se se tshwanetseng go aparwa.
For this reason I say to you, Be not anxious for your life, what you shall eat, and what you shall drink; nor for your body, what you shall put on. Is not your life a greater gift than food, and your body than clothing?
26 Bonang dinonyane! Ga di tshwenyege kaga se se jewang ga di tlhoke go jala kgotsa go roba kgotsa go boloka dijo ka gore Rraalona wa Legodimo o a di otla. Mme lona lo tlhwatlhwa kgolo mo go ene go na le tsone.
Observe the birds of the air, that they neither sow, nor reap, nor gather into granaries. Yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much better than they?
27 A ditlhobaelo tsa lona tsotlhe di ka oketsa botshelo jwa lona ka motsotso o le mongwe?
Which of you, by his anxiety, can add one span to his life?
28 “Mme ke eng fa o tlhobaela kaga diaparo tsa gago. Lebang dithunya tsa naga! Ga di tlhobaele kaga diaparo tsa tsone.
And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field how they grow: they toil not, nor do they spin.
29 Le fa go ntse jalo, Kgosi Solomone mo kgalalelong ya gagwe o na a sa apesiwa bontle jaaka di ntse.
But I say to you, That Solomon, in all his glory, was not clothed like one of these.
30 Mme fa Modimo o tlhokomela dithunya tse di fano gompieno ka tlhokomelo e kgolo, mme ka moso di be di seyo, a tota ga o na go lo tlhokomela, lona batho ba tumelo e potlana?
If then, God so clothes the herb of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31 “Jalo he, se tlhobaeleng gotlhelele kaga go nna le dijo tse di lekanyeng le diaparo. Ke eng fa lo nna jaaka baheitane ka gore ba nna le boikgantsho mo dilong tse tsotlhe, gape ba amega thata kaga tsone, mme Rraeno wa legodimo o setse a itse sentle gore lo a di tlhoka.
Therefore, be not anxious, saying: What shall we eat? or, what shall we drink? or, with what shall we be clothed?
For after all these things do the Gentiles seek: for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
33 “Mme ka boitumelo o tlaa di lo naya fa lo mo naya tlotlo e kgolo mo botshelong jwa lona.
But seek first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be given to you in addition.
34 “Jalo he, se tlhobaeleleng bokamoso, Modimo o tlaa tlhokomela bokamoso jwa lona. Lebogelang tlhabo ya letsatsi e lo e boneng.
Therefore, be not anxious about the morrow, for the morrow will have anxieties of its own. Sufficient for the day is its own evil.
