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 ye do not your righteousness before men, to be seen of them: else ye have no reward with 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.
When therefore thou doest alms, sound not a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have received their reward.
3 Neke uve pano ukuvatanga avakotofu, uvatanhaghe kisyefu kuuti nambe ummanyaani ghwako alekaghe pikagula.
But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
4 Ulutango lwako luvombekaghe kisyefu, ulwakuva uNhaata gwako juno ilola sino sili ku vusyefu, ilikukuhomba
that thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret shall recompense thee.
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 ye pray, ye 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 of men. Verily I say unto 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 thou, when thou prayest, enter into thine inner chamber, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret, and thy Father which seeth in secret shall recompense thee.
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 in praying use not vain repetitions, as the Gentiles 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 therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
9 Umue pano mukufuunya kwa Nguluve, mutisaghe, 'Gwe Nhaata uve uli kukyanya, ilitavua lyako lyimikwaghe.
After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Uvutwa vwako vwisaghe. Sino ukeliile sivimbekaghe pa iisi apa, ndavule sivombeka kukyanya ukuo.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth.
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 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 ye 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 ye 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 ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may be seen of men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have received their reward.
17 Looli uve nave uvuhimle kulia mulwa kufuunya, ghwoghaghe ku maaso na kupakala amafuta.
But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thy head, and wash thy 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 thou be not seen of men to fast, but of thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall recompense thee.
19 “Namungavutaghe ifiinu mu iisi iji, muno umhehe ni ng'husa nafinangania, kange avaahiji navimatula nambe kuhiija.
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust doth 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 doth consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 Ulwakuva pano uvutile ifiinu fyako, pepano naghu mwojo ghwako ghuuva bahapuo.
for where thy treasure is, there will thy heart 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 thine eye be single, thy 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 thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be 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 man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye 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 unto you, Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than the food, and the body than the raiment?
26 Mulolaghe injuni Nasivyala, nasipeta nambe kuvuta mu kihenge, neke uNhaata ghwinu ughwa kukyanya, ikusiswila. Asi, umue namunoghiile kukila injuni isio
Behold the birds of the heaven, that they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not ye 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?
And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 Lolagha amaluva ndavule ghikula, naghivomba imbombo nambe kuhona amenda ghaake agha kufwala.
And why are ye anxious concerning 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!
yet I say unto 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?
But if God doth so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, [shall he] not much more [clothe] you, O ye of little faith?
31 “Lino, mulekaghe kutungumala kuuti, “Tulia kiki, tunyua kiki, nambe tufwala kiki,'
Be not therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall 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 knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 Looli mulondaghe taasi uvutwa vwa Nguluve na kuvomba sino ikeela umwene, neke ifio fyoni ikuvongelesia”.
But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 “Lino, namungasaghaghe vwimila ifya pakilaavo, ulwakuva ifya pakilaavo pwefili vwimila ikighono ikio. Kila kighono kili na mahangaiko ghaake.
Be not therefore anxious for the morrow: for the morrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
