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 not to perform your righteous acts before men to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father 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.
So when you give to the needy, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward.
3 Neke uve pano ukuvatanga avakotofu, uvatanhaghe kisyefu kuuti nambe ummanyaani ghwako alekaghe pikagula.
But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
4 Ulutango lwako luvombekaghe kisyefu, ulwakuva uNhaata gwako juno ilola sino sili ku vusyefu, ilikukuhomba
so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
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.
And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their full 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 when you pray, go into your inner room, shut your door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
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.
And when you pray, do not babble on like pagans, for they think that by their many words they will be heard.
8 Lino, namungifunyaghe ndavule vivomba aveene, ulwakuva uNhaata ghwinu akaghwile sino mulonda nambe ye mukyale kukunsuuma.
Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.
9 Umue pano mukufuunya kwa Nguluve, mutisaghe, 'Gwe Nhaata uve uli kukyanya, ilitavua lyako lyimikwaghe.
So then, this is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.
10 Uvutwa vwako vwisaghe. Sino ukeliile sivimbekaghe pa iisi apa, ndavule sivombeka kukyanya ukuo.
Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Utupelaghe umusyughu ifyakulia fiitu.
Give us this day our daily bread.
12 Utupyaninilaghe uvuuvuhosi vwitu, ndavule na jusue vule tukuvapyanila vano vatuhokile.
And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 Nungatulekaghe kuuva mu ngelo, looli utupokaghe kwa mhosi jula. Ulwakuva uvutwa vwako, ingufu saako nu vuvaha vwako vuli fighono fyoni! Amina'
And lead 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 yours.
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.
When you fast, do not be somber like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces to show men they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward.
17 Looli uve nave uvuhimle kulia mulwa kufuunya, ghwoghaghe ku maaso na kupakala amafuta.
But 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 your fasting will not be obvious to men, but only to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
19 “Namungavutaghe ifiinu mu iisi iji, muno umhehe ni ng'husa nafinangania, kange avaahiji navimatula nambe kuhiija.
Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
20 Looli muvataghe ifiinu kukyanya kuno umhehe ni ng'husa nafinangania, kange avahiija navimatula nambe kuhiija
But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in 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 eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, 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 eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that 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: Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
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 worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?
26 Mulolaghe injuni Nasivyala, nasipeta nambe kuvuta mu kihenge, neke uNhaata ghwinu ughwa kukyanya, ikusiswila. Asi, umue namunoghiile kukila injuni isio
Look at the birds of the air: They do not sow or reap or gather into barns—and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
27 Ghwe veeni mulyumue juno ndepoonu ihangajika, kuuti ongelesie uvwumi vwake nambe akavaliko kamo? “kiki musaagha vwimila ifya kufwala?
Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
28 Lolagha amaluva ndavule ghikula, naghivomba imbombo nambe kuhona amenda ghaake agha kufwala.
And why do you worry about clothes? Consider how the lilies of the field grow: They do not labor or spin.
29 Neke nikuvavuula kuuti, nambe uSolomoni mu vuvaha vwake vwoni, naalyaghelile kufwalilila neke anoghele ndavule ililuva limonga!
Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned 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?
If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31 “Lino, mulekaghe kutungumala kuuti, “Tulia kiki, tunyua kiki, nambe tufwala kiki,'
Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
32 ulwakuva ifio fyoni vihangajikila vano navammanyile uNguluve. UNhaata ghwinu juno ali kukyanya akaghwile vunofu kuuti mulonda sooni isio.
For the Gentiles strive after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
33 Looli mulondaghe taasi uvutwa vwa Nguluve na kuvomba sino ikeela umwene, neke ifio fyoni ikuvongelesia”.
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.
34 “Lino, namungasaghaghe vwimila ifya pakilaavo, ulwakuva ifya pakilaavo pwefili vwimila ikighono ikio. Kila kighono kili na mahangaiko ghaake.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.
