Matthew 6 (BOU)

1“Ekauweni mwesekugosoa inga wakundavyo wantu, ili wawatogoe. Kwaviya mkagosoa inga ivyo khamnampate funge kwa Tati yenu mwe uko uwanga kwa Muungu.“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“Ivyo muwaambizavyo wakiwa, mwesekweambaza kwa wantu, inga wahokho wagosoavyo mwe nyumba zakukintania Wayahudi na siai ili wantu wawatogoe. Kwei nawagombeka, awo wekhigwa kae funge.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.

3Akini wee umuambizavyo mkiwa gosoa ivyo na mntu yoyose asekumanya.But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

4Umuambiize mtu kwesiho mntu kumanya na Muungu endaakwekhe funge.so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

5“Mvikaho msekugosoa inga wahokho, wowo wakunda kuvika wakawa wagooka mwe nyumba ya kuvika wayahudi na mwe sia phanda ili wantu wawakauwe. Kwei nawamba awo wekhigwa kae funge dao.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.

6Akini wee uvikaho engia gati kwako vugaa uvi, naho umvike Tati yako esae kuoneka. Nae Tati yako aonae sii, endaakwekhe funge.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“Naho mvikaho, mwesekutamwiiya ntamwiizi zesazo kuwa na mana inga wantu wesao kummanya Muungu, kwaviya wowo wamamakhanya wendawategeezwe kwa ntamwiizi zao kuwa nyingi.And when you pray, do not babble on like pagans, for they think that by their many words they will be heard.

8Naho mwesekuigana nao kwaviya Tati yenu amanya muyakundayo kabla khamzati kumwombeza.Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

9Naho ivi nemkundigwavyo kuvika, ‘Tati yetu mwe uko uwanga kwa Muungu, Zina dako ditogolwe muno.So then, this is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.

10Useuta wako weze. Yada ukundayo yagosoke uko uwanga kwako Muungu na yagosoke mwe inusiYour kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

11Utekhe khande yetu kia msi.Give us this day our daily bread.

12Utiekee masa yetu Inga swiswi tiwaekeavyo masa wamasa wetu.And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

13Usekutigea mwe mageezo Akini utihonye na ibiisi kwaviya Useuta niwako na udaho na ukuu hata misi zose zesazo na kisiikizi. Pepa.’And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’

14“Kwaviya mkawaekea wantu masa yao na Tati yenu wa uko uwanga kwa Muungu endaawaekee na nywinywiFor if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

15Naho mkesekuwaekea wantu masa yao na Tati yenu khanaawaekee nywinywi masa yenu.But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive yours.

16“Mwehinizaho kuda khande, mwesekugosoa inga wabakha, wehituao kuwa wenye hovu na kunyafuisa vyeni vyao, ili wantu wawaone kuwa wehiniza kuda khande. Kwei nawamba wapata kae funge zawo.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.

17Akini mwehinizaho kuda, esiseni mavuta mwe mitwi yenu na kusunta vyeni vyenu,But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,

18ili kwehiniza kwenu kuda kwesekumanyika na wantu watuhu, iya Tati yenu ekaae hantu hasii, nae Tati yenu aonae sii endaawekhe funge zenu.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“Mwesekweikia kiikizo hanu he inusi ambaho sondo na kutu, na wabavi wengia na kubawa.Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.

20Eikieni kiikizo uko uwanga kwa Muungu ambaho sondo na kutu khawadaha kubananga na wabavi khawadaha kuita kutua na kubawa.But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.

21Kwaviya hada cheiho kiikizo chako nee wendahouwe moyo wako.For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

22“Ziso ni taa ya mwii. Inga ziso dako ni gima mwii wako wose wendauwe mwe mng'ao.The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light.

23Akini ikawa ziso dako khio gima mwii wako wose wendauwe mwe kiza. Naho mng'ao wekuwao umo mwako ukawa kiza, umanye icho kiza ni chakutisa muno.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“Khahana mntu adahae kuwagosoeya ndima mazumbe waidi, kwaviya enda amgosoee ndima vitana zumbe yumwe na kumbea mtuhu. Khamdaha kumkundisa Muungu hamwe na vintu vingi.”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“Ivyo nawamba, msekuwa na matumatu uwanga ya khande na vidomeo hambu mii yenu mvaeni, kwaviya kwekaa kwenu khakukauwiiya khande du na mii yenu khaikauwiiya magwanda.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?

26Wakauweni wadege wa uwanga khawahanda na khawabonda na khawana khande mwe taa dodose. Hata ivyo Tati yenu wa uwanga awaisa. Tambe nywie khamna yombe kusima aho?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?

27Nindai gatigati yenu mwenye maatu muno adaha kweongeza msi wa kwekaa kwakwe?Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

28“Kwambwai mwepisha kwaajii ya magwanda? Kauweni maua ya mzituni yatamavyo, khayagosoa ndima wala khayegosweeya magwanda yakwe.And why do you worry about clothes? Consider how the lilies of the field grow: They do not labor or spin.

29Iya nawamba hata seuta Selemani mwenye na vintu vyakwe vyose khekuwahi kuvikwa vitana inga uwa dimweaho.Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.

30Naho ikawa Muungu ayavika ivi mani ya mwe minda ambayo ivyeo yaaho na kioi yasigwa mwe moto, Nywie wantu wenye uzumizi mdodo namba nywie enda awagosoee muno?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“Aho msekuwa na matumatu, ‘Tendatideni? Tendatidomee mbwai? Tendativae mbwai?’Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’

32Kwaviya ayo yose yaondezwa na wantu wesaokummanya Muungu. Tate yenu wa uwanga amanya ati mwakunda vintu ivyo vyose.For the Gentiles strive after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.

33Naho vokani kuuondeza Useuta wakwe, na kwekaa viya akundavyo Muungu na ayo yose mwendamwekhigwe na ngeeko.But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.

34Naho msekuwa na matumatu ya kioi, kwaviya kioi ina yakwe. Kiya msi ina suuba yakwe.Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.
