Mathayo 6
1 “Angalieni msitende wema wenu mbele ya watu ili wawaone. Kwa maana mkifanya hivyo, hamna thawabu kutoka kwa Baba yenu aliye mbinguni.
sAvadhAnA bhavata, manujAn darzayituM tESAM gOcarE dharmmakarmma mA kuruta, tathA kRtE yuSmAkaM svargasthapituH sakAzAt kinjcana phalaM na prApsyatha|
2 “Hivyo mnapowapa wahitaji, msipige panda mbele yenu kama wafanyavyo wanafiki katika masinagogi na mitaani, ili wasifiwe na watu. Amin nawaambia wao wamekwisha kupokea thawabu yao.
tvaM yadA dadAsi tadA kapaTinO janA yathA manujEbhyaH prazaMsAM prAptuM bhajanabhavanE rAjamArgE ca tUrIM vAdayanti, tathA mA kuri, ahaM tubhyaM yathArthaM kathayAmi, tE svakAyaM phalam alabhanta|
3 Lakini ninyi mtoapo sadaka, fanyeni kwa siri, hata mkono wako wa kushoto usijue mkono wako wa kuume unachofanya,
kintu tvaM yadA dadAsi, tadA nijadakSiNakarO yat karOti, tad vAmakaraM mA jnjApaya|
4 ili sadaka yako iwe ni siri. Ndipo Baba yako wa mbinguni, yeye aonaye sirini atakupa thawabu kwa wazi.
tEna tava dAnaM guptaM bhaviSyati yastu tava pitA guptadarzI, sa prakAzya tubhyaM phalaM dAsyati|
5 “Nanyi msalipo, msiwe kama wanafiki, maana wao hupenda kusali wakiwa wamesimama katika masinagogi na kando ya barabara ili waonekane na watu. Amin nawaambia, wao wamekwisha kupata thawabu yao.
aparaM yadA prArthayasE, tadA kapaTinaiva mA kuru, yasmAt tE bhajanabhavanE rAjamArgasya kONE tiSThantO lOkAn darzayantaH prArthayituM prIyantE; ahaM yuSmAn tathyaM vadAmi, tE svakIyaphalaM prApnuvan|
6 Lakini wewe unaposali, ingia chumbani mwako, funga mlango na umwombe Baba yako aliye sirini. Naye Baba yako aonaye sirini atakupa thawabu yako.
tasmAt prArthanAkAlE antarAgAraM pravizya dvAraM rudvvA guptaM pazyatastava pituH samIpE prArthayasva; tEna tava yaH pitA guptadarzI, sa prakAzya tubhyaM phalaM dAsyati
7 Nanyi mnaposali msiseme maneno kama wafanyavyo watu wasiomjua Mungu. Kwa maana wao hudhani kwamba watasikiwa kwa sababu ya wingi wa maneno yao.
aparaM prArthanAkAlE dEvapUjakAiva mudhA punaruktiM mA kuru, yasmAt tE bOdhantE, bahuvAraM kathAyAM kathitAyAM tESAM prArthanA grAhiSyatE|
8 Msiwe kama wao, kwa sababu Baba yenu anajua kile mnachohitaji kabla hamjamwomba.
yUyaM tESAmiva mA kuruta, yasmAt yuSmAkaM yad yat prayOjanaM yAcanAtaH prAgEva yuSmAkaM pitA tat jAnAti|
9 “Hivi basi, ndivyo iwapasavyo kuomba: “‘Baba yetu uliye mbinguni, Jina lako litukuzwe.
ataEva yUyama IdRk prArthayadhvaM, hE asmAkaM svargasthapitaH, tava nAma pUjyaM bhavatu|
10 Ufalme wako uje. Mapenzi yako yafanyike hapa duniani kama huko mbinguni.
tava rAjatvaM bhavatu; tavEcchA svargE yathA tathaiva mEdinyAmapi saphalA bhavatu|
11 Utupatie riziki yetu ya kila siku.
asmAkaM prayOjanIyam AhAram adya dEhi|
12 Utusamehe deni zetu, kama sisi nasi tulivyokwisha kuwasamehe wadeni wetu.
vayaM yathA nijAparAdhinaH kSamAmahE, tathaivAsmAkam aparAdhAn kSamasva|
13 Usitutie majaribuni, bali utuokoe kutoka kwa yule mwovu [kwa kuwa Ufalme ni wako, na nguvu, na utukufu, hata milele. Amen].’
asmAn parIkSAM mAnaya, kintu pApAtmanO rakSa; rAjatvaM gauravaM parAkramaH EtE sarvvE sarvvadA tava; tathAstu|
14 Kwa kuwa kama mkiwasamehe watu wengine wanapowakosea, Baba yenu wa mbinguni atawasamehe ninyi pia.
yadi yUyam anyESAm aparAdhAn kSamadhvE tarhi yuSmAkaM svargasthapitApi yuSmAn kSamiSyatE;
15 Lakini msipowasamehe watu wengine makosa yao, naye Baba yenu hatawasamehe ninyi makosa yenu.
kintu yadi yUyam anyESAm aparAdhAn na kSamadhvE, tarhi yuSmAkaM janakOpi yuSmAkam aparAdhAn na kSamiSyatE|
16 “Mnapofunga, msiwe wenye huzuni kama wafanyavyo wanafiki. Maana wao hukunja nyuso zao ili kuwaonyesha wengine kwamba wamefunga. Amin, amin nawaambia wao wamekwisha kupata thawabu yao kamilifu.

17 Lakini mnapofunga, jipakeni mafuta kichwani na kunawa nyuso zenu

18 ili kufunga kwenu kusionekane na watu wengine ila Baba yenu aketiye mahali pa siri; naye Baba yenu aonaye sirini atawapa thawabu yenu kwa wazi.
tEna tava yaH pitA guptadarzI sa prakAzya tubhyaM phalaM dAsyati|
19 “Msijiwekee hazina duniani, mahali ambapo nondo na kutu huharibu, nao wevi huvunja na kuiba.

20 Lakini jiwekeeni hazina mbinguni, mahali ambapo nondo na kutu haviharibu, wala wevi hawavunji na kuiba.
kintu yatra sthAnE kITAH kalagkAzca kSayaM na nayanti, caurAzca sandhiM karttayitvA cOrayituM na zaknuvanti, tAdRzE svargE dhanaM sanjcinuta|
21 Kwa sababu mahali hazina yako ilipo, hapo ndipo pia moyo wako utakapokuwa.

22 “Jicho ni taa ya mwili. Kama jicho lako ni nyofu, mwili wako wote utajaa nuru.
lOcanaM dEhasya pradIpakaM, tasmAt yadi tava lOcanaM prasannaM bhavati, tarhi tava kRtsnaM vapu rdIptiyuktaM bhaviSyati|
23 Lakini kama jicho lako ni ovu, mwili wako wote utajawa na giza. Kwa hiyo basi, kama nuru iliyomo ndani yako ni giza, hilo ni giza kuu namna gani!
kintu lOcanE'prasannE tava kRtsnaM vapuH tamisrayuktaM bhaviSyati| ataEva yA dIptistvayi vidyatE, sA yadi tamisrayuktA bhavati, tarhi tat tamisraM kiyan mahat|
24 “Hakuna mtu awezaye kuwatumikia mabwana wawili. Kwa kuwa atamchukia huyu na kumpenda yule mwingine, au atashikamana sana na huyu na kumdharau yule mwingine. Hamwezi kumtumikia Mungu pamoja na Mali.

25 “Kwa hiyo nawaambia, msisumbukie maisha yenu kwamba mtakula nini au mtakunywa nini; au msumbukie miili yenu kwamba mtavaa nini. Je, maisha si zaidi ya chakula, na mwili zaidi ya mavazi?
aparam ahaM yuSmabhyaM tathyaM kathayAmi, kiM bhakSiSyAmaH? kiM pAsyAmaH? iti prANadhAraNAya mA cintayata; kiM paridhAsyAmaH? iti kAyarakSaNAya na cintayata; bhakSyAt prANA vasanAnjca vapUMSi kiM zrESThANi na hi?
26 Waangalieni ndege wa angani; wao hawapandi wala hawavuni au kuweka ghalani, lakini Baba yenu wa mbinguni huwalisha. Je, ninyi si wa thamani zaidi kuliko hao ndege?
vihAyasO vihaggamAn vilOkayata; tai rnOpyatE na kRtyatE bhANPAgArE na sanjcIyatE'pi; tathApi yuSmAkaM svargasthaH pitA tEbhya AhAraM vitarati|
27 Ni nani miongoni mwenu ambaye kwa kujitaabisha kwake anaweza kujiongezea hata saa moja zaidi katika maisha yake?
yUyaM tEbhyaH kiM zrESThA na bhavatha? yuSmAkaM kazcit manujaH cintayan nijAyuSaH kSaNamapi varddhayituM zaknOti?
28 “Nanyi kwa nini mnajitaabisha kwa ajili ya mavazi? Fikirini maua ya shambani yameavyo. Hayafanyi kazi wala hayafumi.
aparaM vasanAya kutazcintayata? kSEtrOtpannAni puSpANi kathaM varddhantE tadAlOcayata| tAni tantUn nOtpAdayanti kimapi kAryyaM na kurvvanti;
29 Lakini nawaambia, hata Solomoni katika fahari yake yote hakuvikwa vizuri kama mojawapo ya hayo maua.
tathApyahaM yuSmAn vadAmi, sulEmAn tAdRg aizvaryyavAnapi tatpuSpamiva vibhUSitO nAsIt|
30 Basi ikiwa Mungu huyavika hivi majani ya shambani, ambayo leo yapo na kesho yanatupwa motoni, je, hatawavika ninyi vizuri zaidi, enyi wa imani haba?

31 Kwa hiyo msiwe na wasiwasi, mkisema, ‘Tutakula nini?’ au ‘Tutakunywa nini?’ au ‘Tutavaa nini?’
tasmAt asmAbhiH kimatsyatE? kinjca pAyiSyatE? kiM vA paridhAyiSyatE, iti na cintayata|
32 Watu wasiomjua Mungu ndio wanaoshindania hayo, lakini Baba yenu wa mbinguni anafahamu kuwa mnahitaji haya yote.
yasmAt dEvArccakA apIti cESTantE; EtESu dravyESu prayOjanamastIti yuSmAkaM svargasthaH pitA jAnAti|
33 Lakini utafuteni kwanza Ufalme wa Mungu na haki yake, na haya yote atawapa pia.
ataEva prathamata IzvarIyarAjyaM dharmmanjca cESTadhvaM, tata EtAni vastUni yuSmabhyaM pradAyiSyantE|
34 Kwa hiyo msiwe na wasiwasi kuhusu kesho, kwa sababu kesho itajitaabikia yenyewe. Yatosha kwa siku masumbufu yake.
