Matthew 6 (IYX)

1«Dikele a diyiluu mandaa ma Nziaambi atoono mu nzala ya umonuu nha kulu a baata. So beni diyilii buu, beni a dibaa pe musieende, kwaa Taayi a beni wuli mu mayula.“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.

2Ninha mu taanga di we uha libaasila kwaa muwele, a fulu pe miloolo paa bamono we. Ni buu ka bangaa peluu ba li mu usa mutso manzo a makutunu ma Bayuudayo, na mu makuulu. Bo bali mu uyiluu buu paa baata babili bo. Ngwanya me nadileeli: bo bamaaholo musieende a bo.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.

3Ka mu taanga di koo kia we kia babaala iha libaasila kwaa muwele toono koo kia we kia bakaasa uyaaba pe.But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

4Ni mu buu, libaasila lii lafwaana uba tsweeyi, na Nziaambi taayi a we, wu li mu umono ma we li mu uyiluu ku tsweeyi, sa aha we musieende.so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

5«Mu taanga di beni dikuundu, a diba pe weti bangaa peluu. Bo batoono ukuundu mu mutele, mu manzo ma makutunu ma Bayuudayo, na ku tsomo a makuulu paa baata boosi bamono bo. Ngwanya me nadileeli: bo bamaabaa musieende a bo.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.

6Ka we, mu taanga di we tooni ukuundu, koto kutso itsuru kia nzo a we, koo idibuu, na kuundu Taayi a we wu li nhaa, ku mbuu yii ya tsweeyi. Na mu taanga dii, Taayi a we, wuli mu umono ma we li mu uyiluu mu tsweeyi, sa aha we musieende.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«Mu taanga di beni dili mu ukuundu, dinyaala ubaavutulu bitoolo ndila bimosi weti bangooyi. Bo bali mu utsimi ti Nziaambi usiingi likuundu la bo so bo batsuyi kwalaa.And when you pray, do not babble on like pagans, for they think that by their many words they will be heard.

8A difwaanina bo pe, ka Nziaambi, Taayi a beni akwayaaba manzala ma beni tswaamina beni diyaabisa nde mo.Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

9«Mono bu beni diafwaana ukuundu: “Taayi a bisi wu li ku mayula, nyaala muutu-muutu ayaaba ti kuumbu a we yiba ya Ngira.So then, this is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.

10Nyaala ipfumu kia we iyira, nyaala muutu-muutu, nha tsi, ayiluu litoono la we weti bu lo lili mu uyilimi ku yula.Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

11Ha bisi bia udia biafwaana mu iluumbu ki.Give us this day our daily bread.

12Nyaala mayaama ma bisi, weti bu bisi ka dili mu unyaala bangaa mayaama.And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

13Na a nyaala bisi dikoto mu mapuusu pe, ka kuulu bisi kwaa Wu Mubi. Ka bia we ni Ipfumu, Litu na Buzitu, mu taanga di dihele uwa. Aameni.”And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’

14Ka, so beni disiiri masumu ma baata babamosi Kolokolo mu mamabi ma bo badiyiluu, Taayi a beni wu li ku yula sa wadisa ka Kolokolo.For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

15Ka so beni a disiiri pe babamosi Kolokolo, Taayi a beni ka a usa pe beni Kolokolo mu mamabi ma beni madiayiluu.But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive yours.

16«Mu taanga di beni dili mu udii mutuutu, a dimweese kiinzi kia ngebe pe weti bu bangaa peluu ba li mu usa. Bo bali mu usobo kiinzi paa baata boosi bamono ti bo mutuutu bali mu udii. Mu ngwanya me nadileeli: bo bamaakwa holo musieende a bo.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.

17Ka we mbiiti ka mu udii mutuutu, swaa kiinzi kia we na kili mananaasa ku mutswe a we,But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,

18paa baata bahele uyaaba ti we li mu udii mutuutu. Ndili a Taayi a we wu li nhaa, mu tsweeyi, kaayaaba yo. Na Taayi a we, wu li mu umono mi we li mu uyiluu mu tsweeyi, sa aha we musieende.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«A dikukuu busini nha tsi nha pe, ku batsieriri na malali bali mu ubiiyisi, ku miyibi mili mu ubulu bidibuu bia manzo mu uyibi.Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.

20Ka dikukuu busini ba beni mu mayula, ku yahele na batsieriri na malali mu ubiiyisi, so miyibi mu ubulu bidibuu bia manzo mu uyibi.But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.

21Ka mutimi a we sa abaabaanganga kuu kuli busini ba we.For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

22«Misi mili mwiindi a nyutu: So misi mia we polo mili, nyutu a we yoosi yili kutso liyalila.The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light.

23Ka so misi mia we mili miabeele, nyutu a we yoosi yili kutso pimisi. Ka so pimisi dimaakiti liyalila la keni uba mu we, bunu pimisi dii sa diba kwaa we dia mukobo.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«A wuli na muutu pe wu utuu usalila bapfumu boolo. Ka nde abele wu mumosi na utoono wu mukimi; so a buu pe nde sa akaangama na wu mumosi na umengele wu mukimi. Beni utuu pe usalila nha mbuu mosi Nziaambi na mboongo.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«Ni mu buu me nileele kwaa beni: a dinyoongo pe mu ndaa bia udia na bia unywa bi beni dili na nzala a bio mundaa idiingi kia beni, so a buu pe mundaa bikutu bi beni dili na nzala bio mundaa nyutu a beni. Idiingi kiavulu bia udia ndutu, na nyutu yavulu bikutu ndutu, a buu pe?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?

26Talani banyunyi ba yula: bo a bubaakunu pe, a bubaatolo pe. Bo a bali na bibaanga pe mu ukukuu mbutu, ka Taayi a beni wu li ku yula li mu ubuungulu bo! Ka beni a diavulu banyunyi ndutu pe?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?

27Na mu beni, mundaa minyoongo mia nde, utuu ubweese so hoolo biluumbu bia idiingi kia nde?Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

28«Ka mu ima dili mu unyoongo mu ndaa ya bikutu? Monani buli mu ukulu bifulu mu matsiee: bio a bili mu usala pe, na a bili mu utuungu bikutu pe.And why do you worry about clothes? Consider how the lilies of the field grow: They do not labor or spin.

29Ka bunu, me nileele beni, so mutini Salomo, kutso busini ba nde boosi, a abaa pe bikutu bi bibwe bia weti so ndila imosi mu bifulu bi.Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.

30Beni bangaa imiini ki ikee! So Nziaambi li mu ulwaatisa bitiiti bili ku matsiee pili yii lolo, na bibudumunu ku mbaa nha ngwaali, mu ima nde uhele uyiluu miavulu mii kwaa beni?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?

31Ninha a dinyoogo pe na uleele ti: “Ima dikaadia? Ima dikaanywa? Ima dikaalwaata?”Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’

32Ni bangooyi bali mu ubaasaanga bii bioosi. Ka Taayi a beni, wuli ku mayula, akwayaaba ti beni dili na nzala a bio.For the Gentiles strive after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.

33Dikwasaa Ipfumu na libweeye la Nziaambi, tumake Nziaambi sa aha ka beni bini bioosi.But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.

34Ni mu buu, a diba pe na tari mu iluumbu kia nha ngwaali: mundaa iluumbu kia nha ngwaali sa iba na mandaa ma kio. Pasi iluumbu na mapasi ma kio.Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.
