Matthew 6 (MGH2016)

1“Mwiichinanelheke nhiwe mwaapanga chittu chinothanana awe Nlhuku vaattuni, mwoonachiye ni attu. Mwapangaka chiicho vaattuni, khiiwo inohalha inyu uttuvelhiya ni Athumwaninyu o wiirimu.“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“Paahi etu vanommaha inyu ittu ntu hirina ittu nhiikhuwelhelhe, nhipange thoko chineera aya anafiki mu inupa cho unlhapelha Nlhuku ni mmaphironi. Aneera chiicho wiira yoonachiye ni attu avahiye nthimicho. Ikekhia kinouhimeriani, yayo ahomalha upochera uttuviya waya.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.

3Nansho inyuva vanommaha inyu ntu novekelha ittu, mpangeke wo munrimani mwinyu ata ampwana inyu ahichuwelhe.But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

4Mummaheke wo nivitho. Ni Athithi anoona nnivithoni anowuttuvani.so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

5“Vanolhapelha inyu, nhipange thoko anafiki! Anottuna ulhapelha aneemenlhe mu inupa cho unlhapelha Nlhuku ni mmaphironi wiira yoonachiye ni attu. Ikekhiaye kinouhimeriani, yayo ahomalha uttuvelhiya.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.

6Nansho inyu vanolhapelha inyu, mwiittelheke mpaani, ni waalhapelha Athithi inyu ahinoonia. Athithi anoona chiivinthe anowuttuvani.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“Vanolhapelha inyu, nhipwapwache malhove thoko attu ahinchuwenlhe Nlhuku, anaanyihera wiira milhuku chaya chinowewelhelha wo nlhatu no malhove menchi.And when you pray, do not babble on like pagans, for they think that by their many words they will be heard.

8Nhilhikaane thoko yayo. Athumwaninyu ahochuwelha anohalha inyu uthanana nhinaalhepelha.Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

9Vano etu, iphiro inothananiya inyu wulhumacha vanolhapelha inyu phi ilha, mwiireke ‘Athithi nri Wiirimu, Nchina ninyu nithimichiye,So then, this is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.

10Imwene inyu iwe, Chinothanana inyu, chipangieke velhaponi va thoko wiirimu.Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

11Nnivaheke lhelho cholhia chihu cho kila nihuku.Give us this day our daily bread.

12Nnihiyerereke uwonya wihu, Thoko ni hii chineera ihu waahiyerera attu annittekelha.And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

13Nhinihelhe mu ulhikachiyani Nansho nnoopolheke ni ulhe o mitheko cho unanara ulhe.’ (Ukhalhawaya umwene uri wawinyu ni machiri ni nthimicho wo mahuku o uhimalha. Aye.)And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’

14“Ukhalhawaya mwaahiyereraka attu milhatu chaya, Athumwaninyu o wiirimu anouhiyererani uwonya ni inyu.For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

15Nansho mwaahahiyerereke attu akina milhatu chaya, ni ayo Athumwaninyu khanouhiyererani uwonya winyu.But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive yours.

16“Vanottuka inyu, nhoonihe ichuku wiitho thoko anafiki chineera aya. Yayo anokhunyanyihacha wiitho yoonachiye ni attu wiira ahottuka. Kinouhimeriani wo ikekhiaye wiira, yayo ahomalha uttuviya.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.

17Vanottuka inyu mwiihikeke makhura mmuruni, nkhucheke wiitho ni uvacha ikharari chinyu,But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,

18attu akina ahichuwelhe wiira nhottuka. Nansho ichuwaniaka tu ni Athumwaninyu ahinoonia. Ni ayo Athumwaninyu anoona chiivinthe, anowuttuvani.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“Nhiicheshere nhakhu velhaponi va, vari ni ucheshe ni nrenje unotanganya ni attu owiiya aphomolhaka inupa ni wiiya.Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.

20Nansho mwiicheeshereke nhakhu inyu wiirimu, ucheshe ni nrenje uhinooria aya utanganyacha ni attu owiiya khanooria uphomolha ni wiiya.But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.

21Ukhalhawaya vari nhakhu inyu ni nrima inyu phi nohalha aya ukhalha vavawo.For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

22“Miitho phi nthuko wo iruttu. Miitho inyu akhalhaka makumi iruttu yonkhaye iri voonene.The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light.

23Nansho miitho inyu akhalhaka mareta iruttu yonkhaye inohalha ukhalha mwo unanara mwiipiphini. Nthuko uri mwiiruttuni mwinyu wakelhiyaka ipiphi paahi etu, yeyo ipiphi iyo iri yo woopiha chinene!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“Khaawo ntu nokhalha ipotta yo uvara ntheko wa attu elhi ukhalhawaya nohalha unttuna mmoka ni unvenga nkina, nokhalha o ukhulhuvelhiya wa ntu mmoka, ni uhikulhuvelhiya wa ntu nkina uyo. Khannoria ukavihera mitheko cha Athithi Nlhuku ni nhakhu vamoka.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“Phi iyo inouhimeriakani wiira, nhikhalhe ni nipampa no yolhia ni cho uwuriya chinothananiya ni ukumi inyu wiira nlhame, mena no ikuwo cho uwara mwiiruttuni. Chani ulhia yolhia phi ulhama? Ni iruttu chani ngati phi thempe upwaha ikuwo?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?

26Mwooneke ashinuni, khanaalha imbeyu, khanokhungura mena khanoshunga nnikhupini, nansho Athithi o wiirimu anowaalhiha. Chani mwaattiva kanhiwena o ulhoka waapwaha ashaanuni?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?

27Phi mpani munlhokoni mwinyu ri ni nipampa ninchi nooria wuncherera mahuku o ulhokelha wawe?Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

28“Ni nlhatuni no ukhalha ni nipampa no ikuwo? Mwooneke ituva cho mmatimani chineera aya wookonda, khachinopanga mitheko mena utiva.And why do you worry about clothes? Consider how the lilies of the field grow: They do not labor or spin.

29Nansho kinouhimeriani wiira anakhalhaka Amwene Naselemani anene ni upuha waya wonkhaye, khayaapante uwara ikuwo cho nthimicho thoko ituva imoka aya.Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.

30Nlhuku phi nokondiha thoko chiicho mathaakhuru o mmatani arii lhelho ahawo meelho ahorihiya vamooroni. Chani khanoria uwarihani mwaattiva wo upwaha chinene? Mwaattiva, chani woonaka mirima chinyu chiri chikani?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“Paahi etu nhikelhiye nipampa ‘Ninohalha ulhiani? Ama ninohalha uwuriani? Ama ninohalha uwarani!’Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’

32Ukhalhawaya chechiyo chonkhaye chiyo chinohuvelhiya ni attu ahinchuwenlhe Nlhuku. Athithi inyu o wiirimu ahochuwelha wiira nnothanana chechiyo chittu chonkhaye chiyo.For the Gentiles strive after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.

33Nansho, mwaatti mwaavieke thoko umwene wa Nlhuku ni chittu chinothananiya ni chiyo chonkhaye nnowunchereriya.But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.

34Paahi etu nhikhelhiye nipampa wo nlhatu no meelho, meelho nihawo nihuku naya. Uthemwa wo nihuku nimoka unowuthoshani wo nenno nihuku nno.Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.
