Matthew 6
1 “Be careful that you don’t do your charitable giving before men, to be seen by them, or else you have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
“Mjiyangalila mkoto kukita matendu ginu gabwina pamihu ga vandu, ndava ya kujilangisa kwavi. Ndava muni mwakakita genago mwipata lepi njombi kuhuma kwa Dadi winu mweavi kunani.”
2 Therefore, when you do merciful deeds, don’t sound a shofar before yourself, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may get glory from men. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward.
“Hinu, mukavatangatila vangangu, ukoto kujikokosa kotoka kukita ngati vandu vevakujikita kuvya vabwina munyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi na munjila muni vandu vavalumba. Nikuvajovela chakaka venavo vamali kupewa njombi yavi.
3 But when you do merciful deeds, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand does,
Nambu veve peukumtangatila mngangu, kita jambu lenilo cha mfiyu hati vandu vangi vakotoka kumanya chewihenga.
4 so that your merciful deeds may be in secret, then your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
Mpela luteta lwaku chamfiyu na Dadi waku akugalola gegafiyiki yati akukupela njombi.”
5 “When you pray, you 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 by men. Most certainly, I tell you, they have received their reward.
Pemwiyupa kwa Chapanga, mkotoka kuvya ngati vandu vavakujikita kuvya vabwina, vene vigana kuyima munyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi na malekanganu ga njila, muni vandu vavalola. Nikuvajovela chakaka vene vamali kupewa njombi yavi.
6 But you, when you pray, enter into your inner room, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
Nambu veve peukumuyupa Chapanga, uyingila muchumba chaku, dinda mlyangu, uyupa kwa Dadi winu mweangalolekana. Mwene Dadi waku akugalola gegafiyiki, yati akukupela njombi.
7 In praying, don’t use vain repetitions as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking.
Pemwikumuyupa Chapanga, mkoto kujovajova malovi gamahele ngati vandu vangammanya Chapanga. Muni vene vihololela kuvya Chapanga alavayuwanila ndava ya malovi gavi gamahele.
8 Therefore don’t be like them, for your Father knows what things you need before you ask him.
Mkoto kuwanangana nawu. Dadi winu achimanyili chamwigana hati mwakona mwangayupa.
9 Pray like this: “‘Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.
Hinu, nyenye pemkuyumpa Chapanga, mjova naha: Dadi witu wewitama kunani, Liina laku lilumbiwa neju.
10 Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Unkosi waku utibwelelai, chewigana veve chikitika, pamulima apa ngati cheyivii kunani kwa Chapanga.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
Utipela lelu chakulya chitu cha magono goha.
12 Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.
Utilekekesa tete getihokili, ngati tete chetikuvalekekesa vevatihokili.
13 Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen.’
Ukotoka kutiyingisa mukulingiwa, nambu utisangula na mhakau yula. Ndava muni Unkosi na ukulu na makakala ndi vyaku hati magono goha gangali na mwishu.
14 “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
Ngati mwakavalekekesa vandu kuhoka kwavi, Dadi winu wa kunani alavalekekesa nyenye mewawa mukumbudila kwinu.
15 But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Nambu ngati nakuvalekekesa vangi kuhoka kwavi, mewawa Dadi winu alavalekekesa lepi nyenye kumbudila kwinu.
16 “Moreover when you fast, don’t be like the hypocrites, with sad faces. For they disfigure their faces that they may be seen by men to be fasting. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward.
Pemukujihisa kulya chakulya ndava ya Bambu, mkoto kulangisa ungolongondi ngati vandu vevakujikita kuvya vabwina, vene vikwinyana pamihu pavi, muni vawonekana pavandu ngati vajihinisi kulya chakulya ndava ya Bambu. Nikuvajovela chakaka venavo vamali kupata njombi yavi.
17 But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,
Nambu veve peukujihinisa kulya chakulya ndava ya Bambu, samba manji pamihu na unyala mahuta pamutu.
18 so that you are not seen by men to be fasting, but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.
Muni mundu yeyoha akotoka kumanya kuvya kujihisa kulya chakulya, ndi umanyikana kwa Dadi waku ndu mweangalolekana. Namwene akugalola gegafiyiki, yati akupela njombi.
19 “Don’t lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal;
Mkoto kuvika vibana apa pamulima, ndava vingokoko amala kutu vihalibu na vahiji videnya na kuyiva.
20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves don’t break through and steal;
Nambu mjivikila vibana vinu kunani kwa Chapanga kwenuko vingokoko amala kutu nakuhalabika na amala vahiji videnuya lepi na kuyiva.
21 for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Muni pala pemwivika vibana vinu ndi pewivya mtima waku.
22 “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light.
Lihu laku ndi hahi ya higa yaku, ngati lihu laku lilola bwina, higa yaku yoha yivya mulumuli,
23 But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!
nambu ngati lihu laku lilola lepi bwina, ndi higa yaku yoha yivya muchitita. Hinu, chilanga chechivii mugati yaku chikavya chitita, chakaka cheni ndi chitita chivaha neju!
24 “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 can’t serve both God and Mammon.
Avi lepi mvanda, mweihotola kuvahengela vabambu vavili. Muni yati akumgana mmonga na kumvenga yungi, yati akumgana neju mmonga na kumvevesa yungi. Mwihotola lepi kumhengela Chapanga na bahapo kuhengela vindu vyamahele.
25 Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
Ndi nikuvajovela, mkoto kutyalatyala ndava ya chakulya na chemwinywa vyamgana muni mutama, amala ndava ya nyula zemwigana ndava ya higa yinu. Wu, wumi chindu chivaha lepi kuliku chakulya? Na higa ndi ya maana lepi kuliku nyula?
26 See the birds of the sky, that they don’t sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you of much more value than they?
Mlola videge, vimija lepi amala kubena mewa vivi lepi na chibana chochoha. Pamonga na ago Dadi winu mweavi kunani akuvapela chakulya. Wu, nyenye chindu chivaha lepi kuliku videge?
27 “Which of you by being anxious, can add one moment to his lifespan?
Yani pagati yinu ndava ya kutyalatyala neju ihotola kuyonjokesa hati lukumbi ludebe lwa wumi waki?
28 Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin,
Ndava kyani, kutyalatyala ndava ya nyula? Mlola maluva ga mudahi cheginyamba. Gihenga lepi lihengu amala gitota lepi nyula.
29 yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these.
Nambu nikuvajovela, hati mwene Solomoni na unkosi waki awali lepi chakunyamba ngati limonga pagati ya maluva aga.
30 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?
Ngati Chapanga akuliwalika linyai la kumgunda, nambu lelu livii na chilau kutaga kumotu, wu, nakuvahengela neju nyenye? Nyenye vandu mwemusadika padebe!
31 “Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’
Hinu, mkoto kutyalatyala, yati tilya kiki? Yati tinywa kiki? Tiwala kyani?
32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
Muni ago goha gitangatiliwa na vandu vangamlanda Chapanga. Dadi winu mweavi kunani amanyili kuvya mwigana goha ago.
33 But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.
Ndi, mlonda hoti Unkosi waki Chapanga na geigana, na genago goha yati akuvayonjokesa.
34 Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient.
Hinu mkoto kutyalatyala ndava ya chilau. Chilau yivii gaki, mang'ahiso ga ligono limonga gakuvakola.
