Matthew 6
1 —Lukeba, lubika vangilanga mavanga meno masonga va meso ma batu muingi balumona. Tala luedi kambu nsendo wu Dise dieno widi ku Diyilu.
do beware (now *no*) the (righteousness *N(K)O*) of you not [you are] to do before men in order to be seen by them; lest then except indeed reward not have you with the Father of you who [is] in the heavens.
2 Thangu wumvana lusadusu kuidi mutu wusukama, kadi sika tulumbeta ku ntualꞌaku banga bueta vangila batu badi mayuya, mu zinzo zi zikhutukunu ayi mu zinzila muingi batu baba niemisa. Bukiedika ndikulukamba ti bakitambudidi nsendo awu.
When therefore you may do acts of charity, not may sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets so that they may have glory from men. Amen I say to you; they have the reward of them.
3 Vayi ngeyo bu wumvana lusadusu kuidi mutu wusukama, bika koko kuaku ku lumoso kubika zaba mavengi koko kuaku ku lubakala,
You however doing charity not should know the left [hand] of you what is doing the right [hand] of you
4 muingi dikaba diaku divanunu mu kitsueki ayi muingi Dise diaku dieti mona mamo mamvangiminanga mu kitsueki wela kufuta.
so that may be your giving in secret. And the Father of you the [One] seeing in secret (himself *k*) will reward you (in public. *K*)
5 Mu thangu lunsambila lubika ba banga batu bobo badi mayuya, beti sambidila kimathelama, mu ziphambu zi zinzila ayi mu zinzo zi zikhutukunu muingi batu babamona. Bukiedika, ndikulukamba bakitambudidi mfutu awu.
And when (you may pray, *N(K)O*) not (you will be *N(K)O*) (like *N(k)O*) the hypocrites, for they love [to be] in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets having stood to pray so that (maybe *k*) they may be seen by men. Amen I say to you (that: *k*) they have the reward of them.
6 Vayi ngeyo bu tidi sambila, kota mu vinga kiaku; zibika muelo, sambila Dise diaku dimvuandanga mu kitsueki. Buna Dise diaku dieti mona mamo mamvangiminanga mu kitsueki wela kufuta.
You yourself however, when you may pray, do enter into the room of you, and having shut the door of you do pray to the Father of you in secret. And the Father of you the [One] seeing in secret will reward you (in public. *K*)
7 Mu thangu lunsambila, lubika vutukilanga mambu banga bueta vanga Bapakanu, bila bawu beti muena ti zitsambulu zieti tambudulu bu beti nonumunanga mambu.
Praying now not may use vain repetitions like the pagans; they think for that in the many words of them they will be heard.
8 Lubika basokudila. Bila Dise dieno zebi mbi luvuidi mfunu, beno mu kambu teka kunlomba.
Not therefore may be like to them; has known for (the God *O*) the Father of you of what things need you have before your asking Him.
9 Tala phila lufueti sambidilanga: Tatꞌeto widi ku Diyilu, bika dizina diaku diba dinlongo
Thus therefore do pray you yourselves: Father of us you who [are] in the heavens, should be hallowed the name of You;
10 Bika Kipfumu kiaku kiza. Bika luzolo luaku luvangama va ntoto, banga bu lueti vangimina ku Diyilu.
should come the kingdom of You; should be [done] the will of You, as in heaven [so] also upon (the *k*) earth;
11 Wutuvana buabu bidia bieto bi kadika lumbu.
The bread of us daily do grant us today;
12 Wutulemvukila mambimbi meto; banga beto bu tunlemvukilanga batu bobo batuvangila mambimbi.
And do forgive us the debts of us, as also we ourselves (forgive *N(k)O*) the debtors of us;
13 Kadi kutu bika tubua mu phukumunu, vayi wutukula mu mvukumuni, [Bila ngeyo vuidi kipfumu, lulendo ayi nkembo mu mimvu mi kamimani.]
And not may you lead us into temptation, but do deliver us from the evil’ (Since of you is the kingdom and the power and the glory into the ages *K*) (Amen. *KO*)
14 Enati lulemvukila batu mu mambimbi mawu buna Dise dieno didi ku Diyilu wela kululemvukila.
If for you shall forgive men the trespasses of them, will forgive also you the Father of you Heavenly.
15 Vayi enati lumengi lemvukila batu buna Dise dieno kalendi kululemvukila ko.
only however unless you shall forgive men (the *ko*) (trespasses of them *KO*) neither the Father of you will forgive the trespasses of you.
16 —Mu thangu lukukifuisa nzala mu diambu di lusambulu, lubika monika kiadi-kiadi banga bueti vangila batu badi mayuya. Beti kitula bizizi kiadi-kiadi muingi batu boso bazaba ti bawu balembo kifuisi nzala mu diambu di lusambulu. Bukiedika ndilulukamba bakitambudidi mfutu awu.
Whenever now you may fast, not do be (like *N(k)O*) the hypocrites gloomy; they disfigure for the appearance of them so that they may appear to men [as] fasting. Amen I say to you (that: *k*) they have the reward of them.
17 Vayi bu wulembo kukifuisi nzala mu diambu di lusambulu bika wusukula bumboti zizi kiaku ayi dukula mafuta ku ntu aku,
You yourself however fasting do anoint yourself your head and the face of you do wash, yourself
18 muingi mutu kabika zaba ti wulembo wukifuisi nzala mu diambu di lusambulu vayi Dise diaku kaka dimvuandanga mu kitsueki niandi kaka fueti zaba. Buna Dise diaku dieti mona mambu mamvangimina mu kitsueki wela kufuta.
so that not may you appear to men [as] fasting but to Father of you the [One] in (secret. *N(k)O*) and the Father of you the [One] seeing in (secret *N(k)O*) will reward you (in public. *K*)
19 —Lubika yidika kimvuama va ntoto bila zitselele ayi khazu-khazu bilenda kibivisa ayi mivi milenda tobula zinzo ayi yiba.
Not do store up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal;
20 Vayi yidikanu kimvuama beni ku Diyilu, kuna kukambulu zitselele ayi khazu-khazu yilendi bivisa ko ayi mivi milendi tobula ayi yiba ko.
do store up however for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroy and where thieves not do break in nor steal;
21 Bila koso kuidi kimvuama kiaku, kuna kuela ba ntimꞌaku.
Where for is the treasure (of you [one] *N(k)O*) there will be also the heart (of you [one]. *N(k)O*)
22 —Dieso didi muinda wu nitu, enati dieso diaku didi dimboti, buna nituꞌaku yoso yidi yikienzuka.
The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore shall be the eye of you clear [the] whole body of you full of light will be;
23 Vayi enati dieso diaku didi dimbimbi buna nituꞌaku yoso mayiba mu tombi. Enati kiezila kidi mu ngeyo kidi tombi, buna tombi beni kiela ba kinkobo!
If however the eye of you evil shall be, all the body of you full of darkness will be. If then the light that [is] within you darkness is, that darkness how great!
24 —Kuisi ko mutu wulenda sadila bapfumu buadi mu khumbu yimosi bila wela lenda wumosi ayi zola wunkaka; voti wela singimina mu wumosi ayi wela lenda wunkaka. Lulendi sadila ko Nzambi ayi zimbongo.
No [one] is able two masters to serve; either for the one he will hate and the other he will love or to [the] one he will be devoted and the other he will despise. Not you are able God to serve and money.
25 —Diawu ndikulukambila ti lubika bela luzingu lueno mayindu mu diambu di zaba mbi luela dia ayi mbi luela nua. Mbi luela vuata. Luzingu luisi vioka bidia mu mfunu ko e? Ayi nitu yisi vioka minledi mu pfumu ko e?
Because of this I say to you; not do be anxious about the life of you what you may eat (or *N(k)O*) what you may drink, nor about the body of you what you may put on. Surely life more is [than] food and the body [than] clothing?
26 Talanu zinuni zi diyilu, zikunanga ko; zivelanga mimbutu ko ayi zilundanga bidia mu bilundulu ko. Ayi Dise dieno widi ku Diyilu weti zidikila. Beno lusi zivioka ko mfunu e?
do look at the birds of the air that not they sow nor do they reap nor do they gather into barns — and the Father of you Heavenly feeds them; Surely you yourselves much are more valuable than they?
27 Nani buna luidi lenda yika luzingu luandi, ka diambu ko mu thangu yimosi, kuna ku mayindu e?
Who now from you being anxious is able to add to the lifespan of him hour one?
28 A buna bila mbi lueti belanga mayindu mu diambu di minledi e? Bika lutala buevi bueti kudila biteka mu zitsola. Bisalanga ko ayi bitunganga ko.
And about clothing why are you anxious? do observe the lilies of the field, how (they grow; *N(k)O*) not (do they labor *N(k)O*) nor (do they spin. *N(k)O*)
29 Vayi ndikulukamba, banza nkutu ntinu Salomo mu nkembo andi woso kasia vuatila ko banga buvuatila kiteka kimosi mu biteka bina.
I say however to you that not even Solomon in all the glory of him was adorned like one of these.
30 Buna enati Nzambi weti vuatisa bobo biti biobi bidi buabu mu zitsola vayi biela lozo mbazi ku mbazu, buna kalendi kuluvuatisa vioka biti beni ko e? Batu ba minu kikhioki!
If however the grass of the field, today being [here] and tomorrow into [the] furnace being thrown, God thus clothes, surely much more you, O [you] of little faith?
31 Diawu lubika banga mayindu, mu tubanga: “kani mbi matudia”, voti “mbi matuvuata”.
Not therefore shall you be anxious saying; What shall we eat Or what shall we drink Or what shall we wear?
32 Bila bapakanu bawu bantombanga bima bioso biobi. Vayi Dise dieno di Diyilu zebi ti mfunu luvuidi biawu.
All for these things the Gentiles (seek after; *N(k)O*) knows for the Father of you Heavenly that you need of them all.
33 Vayi lutomba theti Kipfumu ki Nzambi ayi busonga buandi, buna bela kulubuedila bima bioso biobi.
do seek however first the kingdom of God and the righteousness of Him, and these things all will be added to you.
34 Lubika ba mayindu mu diambu di mbazi, bila mbazi wela ba mayindu mu diambu diandi veka ayi kadika lumbu kidi ayi ziphasi ziandi.
Not therefore shall you be anxious about the [things] tomorrow; for tomorrow will be anxious about (*k*) itself. Sufficient to the day [is] the trouble of it.
