Matthew 6 (GOFL)

1“Asi be7o gidi hinte lo77o oosuwa asa sinthan oothonnaada naagetite. Hessatho hanonna ixiko salon de7iya hinte Aawape woyto demmeketa.“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“Hinte manqotas immiya wode asa sinthan bonchetanaw gidi cubboti ogiya doonaninne ayhude woosa keethatan ootheysada asi be7o gidi oothopite. Ta hintew tuma odayis; enti banta kumetha woytuwa ekidosona.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.

3Shin hinte manqotas immiya wode hinte ushacha kushey ootheysa hinte haddirsa kushey eropo;But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

4hinte imoy geeman gido. Geeman ootheysa be7iya hinte aaway hintew woytuwa qoncen immana.so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

5“Woosa woossishe cubbotatho hanopite. Enti, bantana asi be7o gidi ayhude woosa keethaninne ogiya doonan eqidi woosseysa dosoosona. Ta hintew tuma odayis; enti banta kumetha woytuwa ekidosona.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.

6Shin neeni woossiya wode, ne soo gela, wulaa gordada geeman de7iya ne Aawa woossa; geeman oosetidaysa be7iya ne aaway new woytuwa immana.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.

7Hinte woossiya wode ammanonna asatho coo qaala darsidi woossofite. Enti adussi woossin Xoossay si7ees gidi qopoosona.And when you pray, do not babble on like pagans, for they think that by their many words they will be heard.

8Hessa gisho, entaysada hanopite. Ayis giiko, hinte aaway hintew ay koshshiyako hinte woossanaape sinthatidi erees.Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

9“Hiza, hinte yaagidi woossite: “ ‘Salon de7iya nu aawaw, ne geeshsha sunthay anjeto.So then, this is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.

10Ne kawotethay yo, ne sheney salon hanidaysada sa7anka hano.Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

11Gallasa kathaa hachi hachi nuus imma.Give us this day our daily bread.

12Nuuni nuna qohidaysata, atto geysada, nuuska nu qohuwa atto ga.And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

13Nuna iitape ashshafe attishin, paacen gelsofa. Kawotethay, wolqaynne bonchoy merinaw neesa; Amin7i.’And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’

14“Hinte hintena qohidaysata atto giiko, salon de7iya hinte Aaway hinte qohuwaka atto gaana.For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

15Shin hinte hara asa nagara atto goonna ixiko hinte Aaway hinte nagara atto geenna.But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive yours.

16“Hinte xoomiya wode cubbotatho kayotofite. Ayis giiko, enti xoomeysa asi erana mela banta som7uwa qitayoosona. Ta tuma odayis; enti banta woytuwa ekidosona.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“Shin neeni xoomiya wode ne som7uwa meecca, ne huuphiya tiyetta.But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,

18Hessada ne oothiko ne xoomiya xoomay asape geemmidaysa, shin geeman de7iya ne Aaway eriya xooma gidana. Geeman oosetidaysa be7iya ne Aaway new woytuwa immana.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“Bili miya bessan, birati shi7iyason, kaysoy bookidi ekiyason, ha sa7an, hintew shalo shiishopite.Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.

20Shin bili moonnason, birati shi7onnason, kaysoy bookidi ekonnason salon hintew shalo shiishite.But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.

21Ne shaloy de7iyasuwan ne wozanay de7ana.For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

22“Ayfey asatethas xompe. Hessa gisho, ne ayfey paxa gidiko ne kumetha asatethay poo7o gidees.The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light.

23Ne ayfey hargancho gidiko ne kumetha asatethay dhuma gidees. Hiza, nenan de7iya poo7oy dhuma gidiko, dhumay ay mela aadhidi dhumandeesha!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“Issi asi nam7u godaas haaretanaw danda7enna. Issuwa dosiko hankuwa ixees; woyko issuwa bonchiko hankuwa kadhees. Xoossasinne miishes haaretanaw danda7eketa.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“Hiza, si7ite! Hinte de7on daanaw, ‘Ay maanee? Ay uyanee? Ay ma7anee?’ gidi un7etofite; de7oy kathafe woyko asatethi ma7ope aadhenee?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?

26Salo kafota xeellite; enti zerokona, buucokona, shaalen yeggokona, shin hinte salo aaway enta muzees. Hinte entafe daro aadheketii?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?

27Hinte giddofe daro un7etidi ba laytha bolla issi gallas gujanaw danda7ey de7ii?Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

28“Qassi hinte ma7iyabaas ayis un7etetii? Ane ciishshata be7ite, ooson daaburokona woyko suqokona.And why do you worry about clothes? Consider how the lilies of the field grow: They do not labor or spin.

29Si7ite! Hari attoshin, kawa Solomoney ba boncho ubban ha ciishshatape issuwa melaka ma7ibeenna.Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.

30Hinteno, ammanoy pacidaysato, Xoossay hachi bentidi wonto taman wodhanaw de7iya maata yaatidi mayziyaba gidiko, hintena entafe aathidi waati mayzennee?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?

31Hessa gisho, ‘Ay maanee? Ay uyanee? Ay ma7anee?’ gidi un7etofite.Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’

32He ubbaa Xoossaa ammanonna asay darsidi demmanaw un7etoosona. Hinte salo aaway he ubbay hintew koshsheysa erees.For the Gentiles strive after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.

33Shin ubbaafe sinthe Xoossaa kawotethaanne iya xillotethaa koyite; he ubbay hintew guji imetana.But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.

34Hessa gisho, wontos qopishe un7etofite. Wontoysi wontos aqo; issi issi gallasay baw gidiya metora de7ees.Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.
