Matthew 6
1 “Ẹ kíyèsára kí ẹ má ṣe iṣẹ́ rere yín níwájú àwọn ènìyàn nítorí kí a le rí yín, Bí ẹ bá ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, ẹ̀yin kò ni èrè kankan lọ́dọ̀ Baba yín ní ọ̀run.
“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 “Nítorí náà, nígbà ti ẹ́ bá ti ń fún aláìní, ẹ má ṣe fi fèrè kéde rẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn àgàbàgebè ti í ṣe ní Sinagọgu àti ní ìta gbangba; kí àwọn ènìyàn le yìn wọ́n. Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín, wọ́n ti gba èrè tí wọn ní kíkún.
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 Ṣùgbọ́n bí ìwọ bá ń fi fún aláìní, má ṣe jẹ́ kí ọwọ́ òsì rẹ mọ ohun tí ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ ń ṣe,
But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
4 kí ìfúnni rẹ má ṣe jẹ́ mí mọ̀. Nígbà náà ni Baba rẹ̀, tí ó sì mọ ohun ìkọ̀kọ̀ gbogbo, yóò san án fún ọ.
so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
5 “Nígbà tí ìwọ bá ń gbàdúrà, má ṣe ṣe bí àwọn àgàbàgebè, nítorí wọn fẹ́ràn láti máa dúró gbàdúrà ní Sinagọgu àti ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ ọ̀nà tí ènìyàn ti lè rí wọ́n. Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín, wọ́n ti gba èrè wọn ní kíkún.
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 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ìwọ bá ń gbàdúrà, wọ inú iyàrá rẹ lọ, sé ìlẹ̀kùn mọ́ ara rẹ, gbàdúrà sí Baba rẹ ẹni tí ìwọ kò rí. Nígbà náà ni Baba rẹ tí ó mọ gbogbo ohun ìkọ̀kọ̀ rẹ, yóò san án fún ọ.
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 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà ti ẹ̀yin bá ń gbàdúrà, ẹ má ṣe àtúnwí asán bí àwọn aláìkọlà, nítorí wọn rò pé a ó tìtorí ọ̀pọ̀ ọ̀rọ̀ gbọ́ tiwọn.
And when you pray, do not babble on like pagans, for they think that by their many words they will be heard.
8 Ẹ má ṣe dàbí i wọn, nítorí Baba yín tí ń bẹ ní ọ̀run mọ ohun tí ẹ ṣe aláìní, kí ẹ tilẹ̀ tó béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀.
Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.
9 “Nítorí náà, báyìí ni kí ẹ ṣe máa gbàdúrà: “‘Baba wa tí ń bẹ ní ọ̀run, ọ̀wọ̀ fún orúkọ yín,
So then, this is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.
10 kí ìjọba yín dé, ìfẹ́ tiyín ni kí a ṣe ní ayé bí ti ọ̀run.
Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Ẹ fún wa ní oúnjẹ òòjọ́ wa lónìí.
Give us this day our daily bread.
12 Ẹ dárí gbèsè wa jì wá, Bí àwa ti ń dáríji àwọn ajigbèsè wa,
And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 Ẹ má ṣe fà wá sínú ìdánwò, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ gbà wá lọ́wọ́ ibi. Nítorí ìjọba ni tiyín, àti agbára àti ògo, láéláé, Àmín.’
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’
14 Nítorí náà, bí ẹ̀yin bá dárí jí àwọn tó ṣẹ̀ yín, baba yín ọ̀run náà yóò dáríjì yín.
For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15 Ṣùgbọ́n bí ẹ̀yin bá kọ̀ láti dárí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àwọn ènìyàn jì wọ́n, baba yín kò ní í dárí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín jì yín.
But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive yours.
16 “Nígbà tí ẹ̀yin bá gbààwẹ̀, ẹ má ṣe fa ojú ro bí àwọn àgàbàgebè ṣe máa ń ṣe nítorí wọn máa ń fa ojú ro láti fihàn àwọn ènìyàn pé àwọn ń gbààwẹ̀. Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín wọn ti gba èrè wọn ní kíkún.
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 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ìwọ bá gbààwẹ̀, bu òróró sí orí rẹ, kí ó sì tún ojú rẹ ṣe dáradára.
But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,
18 Kí ó má ṣe hàn sí ènìyàn pé ìwọ ń gbààwẹ̀, bí kò ṣe sì í Baba rẹ, ẹni tí ìwọ kò rí, àti pé, Baba rẹ tí ó rí ohun tí o ṣe ni ìkọ̀kọ̀, yóò san án fún ọ.
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 “Má ṣe to àwọn ìṣúra jọ fún ara rẹ ní ayé yìí, níbi tí kòkòrò ti le jẹ ẹ́, tí ó sì ti le bàjẹ́ àti ibi tí àwọn olè lè fọ́ tí wọ́n yóò sì jí i lọ.
Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
20 Dípò bẹ́ẹ̀ to ìṣúra rẹ jọ sí ọ̀run, níbi ti kòkòrò àti ìpáàrà kò ti lè bà á jẹ́, àti ní ibi tí àwọn olè kò le fọ́ wọlé láti jí í lọ.
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 Nítorí ibi tí ìṣúra yín bá wà níbẹ̀ náà ni ọkàn yín yóò wà pẹ̀lú.
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
22 “Ojú ni fìtílà ara. Bí ojú rẹ bá mọ́lẹ̀ kedere, gbogbo ara rẹ yóò jẹ́ kìkì ìmọ́lẹ̀.
The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light.
23 Ṣùgbọ́n bí ojú rẹ kò bá dára, gbogbo ara rẹ ni yóò kún fún òkùnkùn. Bí ìmọ́lẹ̀ ti ó wà nínú rẹ bá wá jẹ́ òkùnkùn, òkùnkùn náà yóò ti pọ̀ tó!
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 “Kò sì í ẹnìkan tí ó lè sin ọ̀gá méjì. Òun yóò yà kórìíra ọ̀kan tí yóò fẹ́ràn èkejì, tàbí kí ó fi ara mọ́ ọ̀kan kí ó sì yan èkejì ní ìpọ̀sí. Ẹ̀yin kò lè sin Ọlọ́run àti owó papọ̀.
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 “Nítorí náà, mo wí fún yín, ẹ má ṣe ṣe àníyàn nípa ẹ̀mí yín, ohun tí ẹ ó jẹ àti èyí tí ẹ ó mu; tàbí nípa ara yín, ohun tí ẹ ó wọ̀. Ṣé ẹ̀mí kò ha ṣe pàtàkì ju oúnjẹ lọ tàbí ara ni kò ha ṣe pàtàkì ju aṣọ lọ?
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 Ẹ wo àwọn ẹyẹ ojú ọrun; wọn kì í gbìn, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kì í kórè, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kì í kójọ sínú àká, síbẹ̀ Baba yín tí ń bẹ ní ọ̀run ń bọ́ wọn. Ẹ̀yin kò ha níye lórí jù wọ́n lọ bí?
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 Ta ni nínú gbogbo yín nípa àníyàn ṣíṣe ti ó lè fi ìṣẹ́jú kan kún ọjọ́ ayé rẹ̀?
Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
28 “Kí ni ìdí ti ẹ fi ń ṣe àníyàn ní ti aṣọ? Ẹ wo bí àwọn lílì tí ń bẹ ní igbó ti ń dàgbà. Wọn kì í ṣiṣẹ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kì í rànwú.
And why do you worry about clothes? Consider how the lilies of the field grow: They do not labor or spin.
29 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni mo wí fún yín pé, a kò ṣe Solomoni lọ́ṣọ̀ọ́ nínú gbogbo ògo rẹ̀ tó ọ̀kan nínú àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí.
Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.
30 Ǹjẹ́ bí Ọlọ́run bá wọ koríko igbó ní aṣọ bẹ́ẹ̀, èyí tí ó wà níhìn-ín lónìí ti a sì gbà sínú iná lọ́la, kò ha ṣe ni ṣe yín lọ́ṣọ̀ọ́ tó bẹ́ẹ̀ àti jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ, ẹ̀yin tí ìgbàgbọ́ yín kéré?
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 Nítorí náà, ẹ má ṣe ṣe àníyàn kí ẹ sì máa wí pé, ‘Kí ni àwa yóò jẹ?’ tàbí ‘Kí ni àwa yóò mu?’ tàbí ‘Irú aṣọ wo ni àwa yóò wọ̀?’
Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
32 Nítorí àwọn kèfèrí ń fi ìwọra wá àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Baba yín ní ọ̀run mọ̀ dájúdájú pé ẹ ní ìlò àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí.
For the Gentiles strive after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
33 Ṣùgbọ́n, ẹ kọ́kọ́ wá ìjọba Ọlọ́run ná àti òdodo rẹ̀, yóò sì fi gbogbo àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí kún un fún yín pẹ̀lú.
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.
34 Nítorí náà, ẹ má ṣe àníyàn ọ̀la, ọ̀la ni yóò ṣe àníyàn ara rẹ̀. Wàhálà ọjọ́ kọ̀ọ̀kan ti tó fún un.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.
