Matthew 6 (MGV)

1“Nnzepa kuhenga mahengu gaamboni palongi ja bandu ili mbonikana. Ndaba anantei hela ngamwiipati nhupi jokapi kuhuma kwa Atati binu bu kunani kwaka Sapanga.“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“Henu, hemunzangati mundu nhagu sindu sokapi, walilangii kwa bandu. Wiihenga ngati bandu babilikopake baamboni, heahenga mu manyumba gukuketangane Ayaudi na mwiindela ili bandu baalumbaliya. Numpwagi sakaka, baniaba apatiki nhupi yabu yoti.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.

3Lakini wehapa egunzangati nhagu, henga kinunu hata nkosi waku jwimanya seguhenga.But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

4Waajangatya ahagu kinunukinunu, na Atati baku babagabona gaguhenga mukinunu, bagupekiya nhupi.so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

5“Pamundoba Sapanga, mwihenga ngati babilikopake baamboni. Ndaba bombi apala kujema kundoba Sapanga mu manyumba gukuketangane Ayaudi na mumagobukanu giindeela ili bandu baabona. Numpwagi sakaka, haba apatiki nhupi yabu yoti.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.

6Lakini wehapa pagundoba Sapanga, jingala nsumba saku, jigala ndyangu waku, ndi waaloba Atati baku banga kubonikana. Ndienu Atati baku babagabona gauhenga sujobu bagupekiya nhupi.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“Pamundoba Sapanga, mwiposukana malobi gingi ganga na mana ngati ehenga bandu banga kummanya Sapanga. Ndaba bombi awasali baajogwaniya ndaba ja malobi gabu kuba gingi.And when you pray, do not babble on like pagans, for they think that by their many words they will be heard.

8Mwikuba ngati bombi, ndaba Atati binu amamyiki gampala kabula ngasemwalobiki.Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

9Lakini mwanganya nndoba ana, ‘Atati bitu mombii kunani kwaka Sapanga kwaka Sapanga, liina linu lilumbalika ngani.So then, this is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.

10Ubambu ukolongu waku guhika, gagupala gahengika pundema ngati kunani kwaka Sapanga kwaka Sapanga.Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

11Gutupekiya lelenu posu jitu ja kila lisoba,Give us this day our daily bread.

12Gutulekakiya mahakau gitu, ngati twepani etwalekake babutukosi.And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

13Watujingisa mu milengu, lakini utuhokua kuhuma kuku Mbaja jola.’And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’

14“Namwalekaki bangi babunhengi giliya, Atati bii bu kunani kabee bandekakya na mwanganya giliya gamwahengi bangi.For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

15Lakini nanga kwaalekake bandu bangi, Atati binu bu kunani ngabandekake mahakau gino.But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive yours.

16“Pampunga kula posu, mwiikuba nhyomiki ngati bandu baakopake baamboni heatenda. Bombi atulana pamihu jabu ili abonikana kwa bandu atei kupunga kula posu. Numpwagi sakaka, haba apatiki hupi yabu.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.

17Lakini pagupunga kula posu, gusamba pamihu jaku, gupakia mahuta kumutu jaku,But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,

18ili wiimanyikana kwa bandu gutei kupunga kula, ila amanya Atati baku banga kubonikana pee. Nabombi Atati baku babagabona gagilihihiki, jampekia nhupi.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“Mwalibeke kikoku pundema, momuje nkeki na kutu itenda kuhalabana na bii atenda kubombo nuku kujiba.Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.

20Lakini mlibekila mali kunani kwaka Sapanga, kokuje ibongo na kutu ngaseiwesia, kuhalabana hata bii ngaawesi kutunu nu kujingi kujiba.But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.

21Ndaba pagabi mali gaku ndi pagubii moju waku.”For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

22Lihu ndi unang'anu wa nhyega. Ana lihu laku libi sapi, nhyega jaku joti jibii pu unang'anu.The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light.

23Lakini ana lihu laku libohu, nhyega jaku joti jiibya mu lwii. Lakini, ana unang'anu gogubii nkati jaku gubii na lwii, ndienu lwibiya lwii tikitiki!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!

24Nga mundu jojuwesa kwaatumaki akakolongu abeli, ndaba ansukila jumu nukumpala jongi, au jijongana na jumu kundongama jongi. Ngakuwesa kuntumaki Sapanga napapa nukutumaki mali.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“Henu numpwagi, mwihangajaki posu wala sa kunywa ili nhwesa kutama, wala ingobu yempalika kuwata mu nhyega inu. Boo, womi lee ngasindu kikolongu kupeta poso? Na nhyega boo, nga lee sindu kikolongu kupeta ingobo?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?

26Mwilingaliya ijuni yu nnani, yombi ngaseipanda wala kuhusa wala kubeka sokapi mwikikoku, lakini Atati binu bu kunani biilea. Boo, mwanganya lee ngase mpalika kujangatiwa ngani kupeta ijune?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?

27Nyaa kati jinu kukulihangajisa kwaki juwesa kujonzuke ulasu wa womi wake hata kwilisaa limo?Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

28“Ndaba jakii nhangajaki ingobo? Nndingaliya maua gimwikiholi egakola. Ngasegahenga lihengu wala kulilenganake ingobu.And why do you worry about clothes? Consider how the lilies of the field grow: They do not labor or spin.

29Lakini numpwagi, hata Bambu Solomoni na hindu yaki hingi yoti, ngasebawahiki kunhwatika ngati maua haga.Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.

30Henu ana Sapanga jagawatika maua libi lelenu ni kilabu bagaleke pamwotu, boo Sapanga ngajanhwatiki mwanganya nakanope? Mwanganya mombii nukuhobale kusokopi!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“Henu, mwiihangajaki kupwaaga, ‘Twiikula kii au twiikunywa kike? Au twiiwata kiki!’Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’

32Ndaba haga goti bagahangajaki bandu banga kumanya Sapanga. Atati binu bu kunani kwaka Sapanga amanyiki mpala hindu heyi yote.For the Gentiles strive after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.

33Lakini ntaputa oti Ukolongu waka Sapanga, nu nnhenga goti gajupala Sapanga, na gangi haga goti jiitenda kunzonzuke.But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.

34Henu mwihangajaki gi kilabu, ndaba gi kilabu galihangajakiya geni. Matatisu gilisoba limu gatosane kulisoba heli.”Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.
