Mataayi 6
1 “Mulolaghe! Namungavombaghe inofu pamaaso gha vaanhu kuuti vavaghinie. Ulwakuva mungavombe uluo, namungupile uluvonolo kuhuma kwa Nhaata ghwinu juno ali kukyanya.
Take heed that you do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise you have no reward of your Father which 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 your alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Truly I say to you, They have their reward.
3 Neke uve pano ukuvatanga avakotofu, uvatanhaghe kisyefu kuuti nambe ummanyaani ghwako alekaghe pikagula.
But when you do alms, let not your left hand know what your right hand does:
4 Ulutango lwako luvombekaghe kisyefu, ulwakuva uNhaata gwako juno ilola sino sili ku vusyefu, ilikukuhomba
That your alms may be in secret: and your Father which sees in secret himself shall 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.
And when you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Truly I say to you, They have 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 closet, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father which is in secret; and your Father which sees in secret shall 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.
But when you pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8 Lino, namungifunyaghe ndavule vivomba aveene, ulwakuva uNhaata ghwinu akaghwile sino mulonda nambe ye mukyale kukunsuuma.
Be not you therefore like to them: for your Father knows what things you have need of, before you ask him.
9 Umue pano mukufuunya kwa Nguluve, mutisaghe, 'Gwe Nhaata uve uli kukyanya, ilitavua lyako lyimikwaghe.
After this manner therefore pray you: Our Father which are 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 in 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 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'
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For your is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
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 forgive not 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, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear to men to fast. Truly I say to you, They have 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.”
That you appear not to men to fast, but to your Father which is in secret: and your Father, which sees in secret, shall reward you openly.
19 “Namungavutaghe ifiinu mu iisi iji, muno umhehe ni ng'husa nafinangania, kange avaahiji navimatula nambe kuhiija.
Lay not up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust does corrupt, 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 does corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 Ulwakuva pano uvutile ifiinu fyako, pepano naghu mwojo ghwako ghuuva bahapuo.
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22 Amaaso ghaako taala ja m'bili ghwako ghwoni ghuuva mu mu lumuli.
The light of the body is the eye: if therefore your eye be single, your whole body shall 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 be evil, your whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you be 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 man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve 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 say to you, Take no thought for your life, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor yet for your body, what you shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26 Mulolaghe injuni Nasivyala, nasipeta nambe kuvuta mu kihenge, neke uNhaata ghwinu ughwa kukyanya, ikusiswila. Asi, umue namunoghiile kukila injuni isio
Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much better 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 taking thought can add one cubit to his stature?
28 Lolagha amaluva ndavule ghikula, naghivomba imbombo nambe kuhona amenda ghaake agha kufwala.
And why take you thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 Neke nikuvavuula kuuti, nambe uSolomoni mu vuvaha vwake vwoni, naalyaghelile kufwalilila neke anoghele ndavule ililuva limonga!
And yet I say to you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed 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?
Why, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31 “Lino, mulekaghe kutungumala kuuti, “Tulia kiki, tunyua kiki, nambe tufwala kiki,'
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 ulwakuva ifio fyoni vihangajikila vano navammanyile uNguluve. UNhaata ghwinu juno ali kukyanya akaghwile vunofu kuuti mulonda sooni isio.
(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek: ) for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things.
33 Looli mulondaghe taasi uvutwa vwa Nguluve na kuvomba sino ikeela umwene, neke ifio fyoni ikuvongelesia”.
But seek you first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.
34 “Lino, namungasaghaghe vwimila ifya pakilaavo, ulwakuva ifya pakilaavo pwefili vwimila ikighono ikio. Kila kighono kili na mahangaiko ghaake.
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient to the day is the evil thereof.
