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 that you do not do your righteousness before people, to be seen by them, or else you have no reward from your Father who is 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.
Therefore when you practice charitable giving, do not sound a trumpet before yourself, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may get glory from people. Truly I tell you, they have received 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 when you practice charitable giving, do not let your left hand know what your 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 your charitable giving may be in secret, then your Father who sees 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, you are not to 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 by others. Truly, I tell you, they have received 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 you, when you pray, enter into your inner chamber, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees 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 in praying, do not use vain repetitions, as the unbelievers do; for they think that they will be heard for 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.
Therefore do not be like them, for your Father knows what things 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,
Therefore, you should pray this way: 'Our Father in heaven, holy be your name.
10 kí ìjọba yín dé, ìfẹ́ tiyín ni kí a ṣe ní ayé bí ti ọ̀run.
Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Ẹ fún wa ní oúnjẹ òòjọ́ wa lónìí.
Give us today 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 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 deliver us from evil.'
14 Nítorí náà, bí ẹ̀yin bá dárí jí àwọn tó ṣẹ̀ yín, baba yín ọ̀run náà yóò dáríjì yín.
"For if you forgive people their wrongdoing, 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 people, neither will your Father forgive your wrongdoing.
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.
"Moreover when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, with sad faces. For they disfigure their faces, that they may be seen by people to be fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward.
17 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ìwọ bá gbààwẹ̀, bu òróró sí orí rẹ, kí ó sì tún ojú rẹ ṣe dáradára.
But you, 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 you are not seen by people to be fasting, but by your Father who is in secret, and your Father, who sees 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 treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and decay destroy, and where thieves break 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 store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor decay destroy, and where thieves do not break through 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 lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is sound, 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 eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is 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 love the other; or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both 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?
Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
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?
See the birds of the sky, that they do not sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns, and your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of much more value than they?
27 Ta ni nínú gbogbo yín nípa àníyàn ṣíṣe ti ó lè fi ìṣẹ́jú kan kún ọjọ́ ayé rẹ̀?
"And which of you, by being anxious, can add one cubit to his height?
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 you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They do not toil, 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.
yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed 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?
But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, won't he much more clothe you, 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 be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?', 'What will we drink?' or, 'With what will we be clothed?'
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 unbelievers seek after all these things, for your heavenly Father knows that you need 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 first the Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
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 be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
