Mataayi 6
1 “Mulolaghe! Namungavombaghe inofu pamaaso gha vaanhu kuuti vavaghinie. Ulwakuva mungavombe uluo, namungupile uluvonolo kuhuma kwa Nhaata ghwinu juno ali kukyanya.
“Be careful that you do not do your charitable giving before men, to be seen by them, or else you have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
2 Lino, pano mukuvantanga avakatofu namungakwisyaghe imhola isio ku vaanhu ndavule vivomba avake dusi mu masinagogi na mu sila, kuuti avaanhu vavaghinie. Kyang'haani nikuvavuula, viivi vamalie pikwupila uluhombo lwave.
Therefore, when you do merciful deeds, do not sound a trumpet before yourself, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may get glory from men. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward.
3 Neke uve pano ukuvatanga avakotofu, uvatanhaghe kisyefu kuuti nambe ummanyaani ghwako alekaghe pikagula.
But when you do merciful deeds, do not let your left hand know what your right hand does,
4 Ulutango lwako luvombekaghe kisyefu, ulwakuva uNhaata gwako juno ilola sino sili ku vusyefu, ilikukuhomba
so that your merciful deeds may be in secret, then your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
5 “Pano mukufuunya kwa Nguluve, namungavisaghe ndavule avakedusi, ulwakuva aveene pano vikufuunya vilonda kukwima mu masinagogi na mu silamalekano kukuvonia ku vaanhu. KYang'haani nikuvavuula, avuo vamalile pikwupila uluhombo lwave.
“When you pray, you shall not 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 men. Most certainly, I tell you, they have received their reward.
6 Looli uve pano ghukufuunya kwa Nguluve, ghwingilaghe kukate na kudinda umulyango. Pe ghufunyaghe kwa Nhaata ghwako juno naivoneka na maaso. UNhaata ghwako juno ilola sino sivombeka ku vusyefu, ilikukuhomba.” “
But you, when you pray, enter into your inner room, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
7 Kange, pano mukufuunya kwa Nguluve, mulekaghe kukeela kujova amasio aminga amasila muluvo ndavule vivomba vano navikumwitika uNguluve. Ulwakuva aveene visaagha kuuti uNguluve ghwave ikuvapulika vwimila amasio ghaave aminga.
In praying, do not use vain repetitions as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking.
8 Lino, namungifunyaghe ndavule vivomba aveene, ulwakuva uNhaata ghwinu akaghwile sino mulonda nambe ye mukyale kukunsuuma.
Therefore do not be like them, for your Father knows what things you need before you ask him.
9 Umue pano mukufuunya kwa Nguluve, mutisaghe, 'Gwe Nhaata uve uli kukyanya, ilitavua lyako lyimikwaghe.
Pray like this: “‘Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.
10 Uvutwa vwako vwisaghe. Sino ukeliile sivimbekaghe pa iisi apa, ndavule sivombeka kukyanya ukuo.
Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Utupelaghe umusyughu ifyakulia fiitu.
Give us today our daily bread.
12 Utupyaninilaghe uvuuvuhosi vwitu, ndavule na jusue vule tukuvapyanila vano vatuhokile.
Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.
13 Nungatulekaghe kuuva mu ngelo, looli utupokaghe kwa mhosi jula. Ulwakuva uvutwa vwako, ingufu saako nu vuvaha vwako vuli fighono fyoni! Amina'
Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.'
14 “Ulwakuva nave mukuvyapyanila avange vano vavahokile, ghwope unhaata ghwinu juno ali kukyanya, ikuvapyanila uvuhosi vwinu.
“For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15 Looli, nave namukuvapyanila vano vavahokile, naju Nhaata ghwinu ughwa kukyanya naikuvapyanila uvuhosi vwinu.
But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
16 “Pano muvuhiila kulia mulwa kufuunya, mulekaghe kusukunala ndavule vivomba avakedusi, ulwakuva aveene visukunala kuvonia avaanhu kuuti vavuhilile kulia mulwa kufuunya. Kyang'haani nikuvavuula, avuo vamalile pikupila uluhombo lwave.
“Moreover when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, with sad faces. For they disfigure their faces that they may be seen by men to be fasting. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward.
17 Looli uve nave uvuhimle kulia mulwa kufuunya, ghwoghaghe ku maaso na kupakala amafuta.
But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,
18 Kuuti uleke kuvoneka ku vaanhu, looli kwa Nhaata ghwako mwene juno naivoneka na maaso. Ghwope uNhaata juno ikusaagha sino ku vusyefu, ilikukuhomba.”
so that you are not seen by men to be fasting, but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.
19 “Namungavutaghe ifiinu mu iisi iji, muno umhehe ni ng'husa nafinangania, kange avaahiji navimatula nambe kuhiija.
“Do not lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal;
20 Looli muvataghe ifiinu kukyanya kuno umhehe ni ng'husa nafinangania, kange avahiija navimatula nambe kuhiija
but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves do not break through and steal;
21 Ulwakuva pano uvutile ifiinu fyako, pepano naghu mwojo ghwako ghuuva bahapuo.
for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
22 Amaaso ghaako taala ja m'bili ghwako ghwoni ghuuva mu mu lumuli.
“The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light.
23 Neke nave iliiso lyako libofu, um'bili ghwako ghwoni ghuuva mu ng'hiisi. Lino, nave ikinu kino kiveele kinoghiile kuuva lumuli, nakimulika, pe ing'hiisi iijio jiiva mbaha kyongo!”
But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!
24 “nakwale umuunhu juno iiva m' banda ghwa vatwa vavili. Ulwakuva pano ikumughana na kukum'bombela vunofu untwa uju, pepano ikukalalila na kukum'beda utwa ujunge. Ikyuma kingakutema nungam'bombele uNguluve!
“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 “Lino nikuvavuula niiti, mulekaghe kuhangaika vwimila uvwumi vwinu kuuti kyande mulia kiki, nambe mufwala kiki. Asia, uvwumi navwe vuvaha kukila ikyakulia? Naghu m'bili naghwe m'baha kukila amenda?
Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
26 Mulolaghe injuni Nasivyala, nasipeta nambe kuvuta mu kihenge, neke uNhaata ghwinu ughwa kukyanya, ikusiswila. Asi, umue namunoghiile kukila injuni isio
See the birds of the sky, that they do not sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Are not you of much more value than they?
27 Ghwe veeni mulyumue juno ndepoonu ihangajika, kuuti ongelesie uvwumi vwake nambe akavaliko kamo? “kiki musaagha vwimila ifya kufwala?
“Which of you by being anxious, can add one moment to his lifespan?
28 Lolagha amaluva ndavule ghikula, naghivomba imbombo nambe kuhona amenda ghaake agha kufwala.
Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They do not toil, neither do they spin,
29 Neke nikuvavuula kuuti, nambe uSolomoni mu vuvaha vwake vwoni, naalyaghelile kufwalilila neke anoghele ndavule ililuva limonga!
yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these.
30 Nave uNguluve ikughafwasia enendiiki amamele agha mu lihaka ghano ghinofia unsiki n'debe vuvule neke nakalinga ghijoghotoka na kutaghua pa mwoto, lino nakyaikuvafwasia umue na kukila, umue mwe vavya lwitiko ludebe?
But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today exists and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will not he much more clothe you, you of little faith?
31 “Lino, mulekaghe kutungumala kuuti, “Tulia kiki, tunyua kiki, nambe tufwala kiki,'
“Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’
32 ulwakuva ifio fyoni vihangajikila vano navammanyile uNguluve. UNhaata ghwinu juno ali kukyanya akaghwile vunofu kuuti mulonda sooni isio.
For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
33 Looli mulondaghe taasi uvutwa vwa Nguluve na kuvomba sino ikeela umwene, neke ifio fyoni ikuvongelesia”.
But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.
34 “Lino, namungasaghaghe vwimila ifya pakilaavo, ulwakuva ifya pakilaavo pwefili vwimila ikighono ikio. Kila kighono kili na mahangaiko ghaake.
Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient.
