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.
Take heed not to do your alms before men to be seen of them, otherwise ye have no reward with your Father who is in the heavens.
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.
When therefore thou doest alms, sound not a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may have glory from men. Verily I say unto you, They have their 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 thou, when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand does;
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 thine alms may be in secret, and thy Father who sees in secret will render [it] to thee.
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 thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites; for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets so that they should appear to men. Verily I say unto you, They have their 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 thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy chamber, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret, and thy Father who sees in secret will render [it] to thee.
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.
But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as those who are of the nations: for they think they shall be heard through their much speaking.
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.
Be not ye therefore like them, for your Father knows of what things ye have need before ye beg [anything] of him.
9 “Nítorí náà, báyìí ni kí ẹ ṣe máa gbàdúrà: “‘Baba wa tí ń bẹ ní ọ̀run, ọ̀wọ̀ fún orúkọ yín,
Thus therefore pray ye: Our Father who art in the heavens, let thy name be sanctified,
10 kí ìjọba yín dé, ìfẹ́ tiyín ni kí a ṣe ní ayé bí ti ọ̀run.
let thy kingdom come, let thy will be done as in heaven so upon the earth;
11 Ẹ fún wa ní oúnjẹ òòjọ́ wa lónìí.
give us to-day our needed bread,
12 Ẹ dárí gbèsè wa jì wá, Bí àwa ti ń dáríji àwọn ajigbèsè wa,
and forgive us our debts, as we also forgive 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 save us from evil.
14 Nítorí náà, bí ẹ̀yin bá dárí jí àwọn tó ṣẹ̀ yín, baba yín ọ̀run náà yóò dáríjì yín.
For if ye forgive men their offences, your heavenly Father also will forgive you [yours],
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 ye do not forgive men their offences, neither will your Father forgive your offences.
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.
And when ye fast, be not as the hypocrites, downcast in countenance; for they disfigure their faces, so that they may appear fasting to men: verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
17 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ìwọ bá gbààwẹ̀, bu òróró sí orí rẹ, kí ó sì tún ojú rẹ ṣe dáradára.
But thou, [when] fasting, anoint thy head and wash thy 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 thou mayest not appear fasting unto men, but to thy Father who is in secret; and thy Father who sees in secret shall render [it] to thee.
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.
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust spoils, and where thieves dig through 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 lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust spoils, and where thieves do not dig through nor steal;
21 Nítorí ibi tí ìṣúra yín bá wà níbẹ̀ náà ni ọkàn yín yóò wà pẹ̀lú.
for where thy treasure is, there will be also thy heart.
22 “Ojú ni fìtílà ara. Bí ojú rẹ bá mọ́lẹ̀ kedere, gbogbo ara rẹ yóò jẹ́ kìkì ìmọ́lẹ̀.
The lamp of the body is the eye; if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body will be 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 thine eye be wicked, thy whole body will be dark. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great the 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; for either he will hate the one and will love the other, or he will hold to the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
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?
For this cause I say unto you, Do not be careful about your life, what ye should eat and what ye should drink; nor for your body what ye should put on. Is not the life more than food, and the body than raiment?
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 heaven, that they sow not, nor reap, nor gather into granaries, and your heavenly Father nourishes them. Are ye not much more excellent than they?
27 Ta ni nínú gbogbo yín nípa àníyàn ṣíṣe ti ó lè fi ìṣẹ́jú kan kún ọjọ́ ayé rẹ̀?
But which of you by carefulness can add to his growth one cubit?
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 are ye careful about clothing? Observe with attention the lilies of the field, how they grow: they toil not, neither do they spin;
29 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni mo wí fún yín pé, a kò ṣe Solomoni lọ́ṣọ̀ọ́ nínú gbogbo ògo rẹ̀ tó ọ̀kan nínú àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí.
but I say unto you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed as 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?
But if God so clothe the herbage of the field, which is to-day, and to-morrow is cast into [the] oven, will he not much rather you, O [ye] 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?’
Be not therefore careful, saying, What shall we eat? or What shall we drink? or What shall we put on?
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 all these things the nations seek after; for your heavenly Father knows that ye have need of all these things.
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 ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall 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.
Be not careful therefore for the morrow, for the morrow shall be careful about itself. Sufficient to the day [is] its own evil.
