Mateo 6
1 “Monhwɛ yie na moanyɛ papa ankyerɛ nnipa, amfa ampɛ animuonyam. Sɛ moyɛ saa a, morennya mfasoɔ biara mfiri mo Agya a ɔwɔ ɔsoro no nkyɛn.
Take hede to youre almes. That ye geve it not in the syght of men to the intent that ye wolde be sene of them. Or els ye get no rewarde of youre father which is in heve.
2 “Sɛ woyɛ papa a, mmɔ no dawuro sɛdeɛ nyaatwomfoɔ yɛ wɔ asɔredan mu ne mmɔntene so no. Merema mo ate sɛ, saa nnipa no anya wɔn akatua dada.
Whe soever therfore thou gevest thine almes thou shalt not make a tropet to be blowe before the as ye ypocrites do in the synagogis and in the stretis for to be preysed of men. Verely I say vnto you they have their rewarde.
3 Sɛ woyɛ papa a, mma obiara nhunu, mpo sɛ wode wo nsa nifa yɛ papa a, mma wo nsa benkum nhunu,
But whe thou doest thine almes let not thy lyfte had knowe what thy righte had doth
4 na wʼagya a ɔnim kɔkoam nsɛm nyinaa no bɛtua wo ka.
yt thine almes may be secret: and thy father which seith in secret shall rewarde ye opely.
5 “Ɛfa mpaeɛbɔ ho nso, sɛ morebɔ mpaeɛ a, mommmɔ mpaeɛ sɛdeɛ nyaatwomfoɔ gyina asɔredan mu ne mmɔntene so bɔ mpaeɛ de pɛ nnipa anim animuonyam no. Merema mo ate aseɛ sɛ, saa nnipa no anya wɔn akatua dada.
And when thou prayest thou shalt not be as ye ypocrytes are. For they love to stond and praye in the synagoges and in the corners of ye stretes because they wolde be sene of men. Verely I saye vnto you they haue their rewarde.
6 Sɛ wobɔ mpaeɛ a, hɔ wo dan mu, na to wo ɛpono mu, na bɔ wʼAgya a wɔnhunu no mpaeɛ, na wʼAgya a ɔnim kɔkoam nsɛm no bɛtua wo ka.
But when thou prayest entre into thy chamber and shut thy dore to the and praye to thy father which ys in secrete: and thy father which seith in secret shall rewarde the openly.
7 Sɛ mobɔ mpaeɛ a, monnkasakasa bebree ntiti nsɛm mu, nsusu sɛ, sɛ moyɛ saa a na Onyankopɔn bɛtie mo.
And whe ye praye bable not moche as the hethe do: for they thincke that they shalbe herde for their moche bablynges sake.
8 Mo Agya Onyankopɔn nim deɛ ɛhia mo nyinaa ansa na mobisa no.
Be ye not lyke them therfore. For youre father knoweth wherof ye haue neade before ye axe of him.
9 “Enti, saa ɛkwan yi so na momfa mmɔ mpaeɛ: “‘Yɛn Agya a wowɔ ɔsoro, wo din ho nte.
After thys maner therfore praye ye. O oure father which arte in heve halowed be thy name.
10 Wʼahennie mmra. Deɛ wopɛ nyɛ hɔ wɔ asase so, sɛdeɛ ɛteɛ wɔ ɔsoro.
Let thy kyngdome come. Thy wyll be fulfilled as well in erth as it ys in heven.
11 Ma yɛn yɛn daa aduane ɛnnɛ,
Geve vs this daye oure dayly breede.
12 na fa yɛn bɔne kyɛ yɛn, sɛdeɛ yɛde wɔn a wɔfom yɛn no bɔne kyɛ wɔn no.
And forgeve vs oure treaspases eve as we forgeve oure trespacers.
13 Mma yɛnkɔ sɔhwɛ mu. Na yi yɛn firi ɔbɔnefoɔ no nsam.’
And leade vs not into teptacion: but delyver vs fro evell. For thyne is ye kyngedome and ye power and ye glorye for ever. Amen.
14 Sɛ mode wɔn a wɔfom mo mfomsoɔ kyɛ wɔn a, mo nso mo ɔsoro Agya de mo mfomsoɔ bɛkyɛ mo.
For and yf ye shall forgeve other men their treaspases youre hevenly father shall also forgeve you.
15 Nanso, sɛ moamfa wɔn a wɔfom mo mfomsoɔ ankyɛ wɔn a, mo ɔsoro Agya no nso remfa mo mfomsoɔ nkyɛ mo.”
But and ye wyll not forgeve men their trespases nomore shall youre father forgeve youre treaspases.
16 “Sɛ modi mmuada a, monnyɛ mo anim mmɔbɔmmɔbɔ sɛdeɛ nyaatwomfoɔ mmuada a wɔyɛ de pɛ nnipa anim animuonyam no. Merema mo ate aseɛ sɛ, saa nnipa no anya wɔn akatua dada.
Moreoure when ye faste be not sad as ye ypocrytes are. For they disfigure their faces that they myght be sene of me how they faste. Verely I say vnto you they have their rewarde.
17 Sɛ wodi mmuada a, nunu wo tirim, na hohoro wʼanim, na ma wʼanim nyɛ frɔmm,
But thou whe thou fastest annoynte thyne heed and washe thy face
18 na mma nnipa nhunu sɛ woredi mmuada, agye wʼAgya a ɔhunu deɛ woyɛ wɔ kɔkoam nyinaa no nko ara; na wʼAgya a ɔnim kɔkoam nsɛm nyinaa no bɛtua wo ka.
that it appere not vnto men howe that thou fastest: but vnto thy father which is in secrete: and thy father which seeth in secret shall rewarde the openly.
19 “Monnhyehyɛ mo agyapadeɛ wɔ asase yi so, deɛ ntɛferɛ bɛtumi awe, na ɛbɛtumi awe nnaakye na asɛeɛ, na akorɔmfoɔ bɛtumi awia.
Se that ye gaddre you not treasure vpon ye erth where rust and mothes corrupte and where theves breake through and steale.
20 Mmom, monhyehyɛ mo agyapadeɛ wɔ ɔsoro, deɛ ntɛferɛ ntumi nwe, na ɛntumi nwe nnaakye nsɛeɛ, na akorɔmfoɔ ntumi nwia.
But gaddre ye treasure togeder in heve where nether rust nor mothes corrupte and where theves nether breake vp nor yet steale.
21 Na deɛ wʼagyapadeɛ wɔ no, ɛhɔ na wʼakoma nso wɔ.
For where soever youre treasure ys there will youre hertes be also.
22 “Ani yɛ onipadua kanea. Ɛno enti sɛ wʼani yɛ a, na wo onipadua nyinaa yɛ hann.
The light of the body is thyne eye. Wher fore if thyne eye besyngle all thy body shalbe full of light.
23 Nanso sɛ wʼani nyɛ a, ɛma wo onipadua no nyinaa dane esum tumm. Enti, sɛ hann a ɛwɔ wo mu no yɛ esum deɛ a, na wo onipadua no yɛ esum kabii.
But and if thyne eye be wycked then all thy body shalbe full of derckenes. Wherfore yf the light that is in the be darckenes: how greate is that darckenes.
24 “Obiara ntumi nsom awuranom baanu; sɛ ɔyɛ saa a, ɔbɛtan ɔbaako, na wadɔ ɔbaako anaasɛ ɔbɛsom ɔbaako yie, na wabu ɔbaako animtia. Morentumi nsom Onyankopɔn ne ahodeɛ.
No ma can serve two masters. For ether he shall hate the one and love the other: or els he shall lene to ye one and despise ye other: ye can not serve God and mammon.
25 “Yei enti na metu mo fo sɛ, monnnwennwene deɛ mobɛdi anaa deɛ mobɛnom anaa deɛ mobɛfira ho. Mowɔ ɔkra ne onipadua a ɛsom bo sene deɛ mobɛdi, deɛ mobɛnom ne deɛ mobɛfira.
Therfore I saye vnto you be not carefull for your lyfe what ye shall eate or what ye shall drincke nor yet for youre body what ye shall put on. ys not ye lyfe more worth then meate and the body more of value then raymeut?
26 Monhwɛ ewiem nnomaa, wɔnnua aba ɛnna wɔntwa aba mmoaboa ano mfa nsie, nanso mo Agya a ɔwɔ ɔsoro no ma wɔn aduane di. Monnsom bo nsene wɔn anaa?
Beholde the foules of ye ayer: for they sowe not nether reepe nor yet cary into ye barnes: and yet youre hevely father fedeth the. Are ye not moche better the they?
27 Mo mu hwan na adwene a ɔdwen no bɛtumi ato ne nkwa nna so simasin?
Which of you (though he toke thought therfore) coulde put one cubit vnto his stature?
28 “Adɛn enti na modwennwene ntoma ho? Monhwɛ afifideɛ bi sɛ sukooko. Wɔnnyɛ adwuma, anaasɛ wɔnwene ntoma ho.
And why care ye then for raymet? Considre ye lylies of ye felde how they growe. They labour not nether spynne.
29 Nanso, Ɔhene Salomo ahonya ne nʼanimuonyam nyinaa akyi no, na nʼahoɔfɛ nnuru sukooko yi.
And yet for all yt I saye vnto you yt eue Salomon in all his royalte was not arayed lyke vnto one of these.
30 Na sɛ Onyankopɔn tumi fira afifideɛ a ɛwɔ hɔ ɛnnɛ na ɔkyena ɛnni hɔ ntoma a, mo a mo gyidie sua, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na ɔrentumi mma mo deɛ ɛhia mo?
Wherfore yf God so clothe the grasse which ys to daye in the felde and to morowe shalbe caste in to the fournace: shall he not moche more do the same vnto you o ye of lytle fayth?
31 Enti, monnnwennwene deɛ mobɛdie, deɛ mobɛnom anaasɛ deɛ mobɛfira ho.
Therfore take no thought sayinge: what shall we eate or what shall we drincke or wherwt shall we be clothed?
32 Na wɔn a wɔnni gyidie no na ɛberɛ biara wɔdwene saa nneɛma no ho. Na mo deɛ, mo Agya a ɔwɔ ɔsoro no nim sɛ yeinom nyinaa ho hia mo.
After all these thynges seke the getyls. For youre hevely father knoweth that ye have neade of all these thynges.
33 Enti, monhwehwɛ Onyankopɔn Ahennie ne ne tenenee kane, na ɔde deɛ ɛhia mo nyinaa bɛka mo ho.
But rather seke ye fyrst the kyngdome of heuen and the rightwisnes therof and all these thynges shalbe ministred vnto you.
34 Enti, monnnwennwene ɔkyena ho. Onyankopɔn no ara de deɛ ɛhia mo bɛma mo. Ɛda biara ne mu nsɛm.
Care not then for the morow but let ye morow care for it selfe: for the daye present hath ever ynough of his awne trouble.
