Matthew 6 (TBX)

1“Xam ghe gweiteyei xow en xam seng bong xam xe kwa wei bombek o eivek xel xomaxoneing mend bei xel gyei. Wangwei xam ghe bong ambei nyon nei, ond tyek xam se qou xouveing ti wou xam Mamim eivek tyoung gheyapu nei.“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“Om wa being bong lul wou xel wei kanyo yo, ond wa se neil me xel davei vuk me natax en wang nambei xel wei myend yuw mi wong eivek xomek qekueing ama me sakwaing mema nayak, bei xel xomaxoneing bo lei ngandoung wou xel o. A neil wou xam zonghek bei, xel qou nind xouveing dalus woy.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.

3Ekom gyeik wa being bong wou xel wei kanyo yo, wa seng bong wa memam qeinz boulek vati wei wa memam payeiv embei bong o,But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

4en kandek wa xe wongeing e mi mendei xupekeing. Woyom Mam yei vati wei wang wong xupekeing o, eno tyek bong xouveing wou wang.so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

5“Me gyeik wa bei zeimemam, wa seng bong ambei xel wei myend yuw o, en xel laleind mi vind bei na mi bale me na zeim memend eivek xomek qekueing ama me na mi bale wou sakwaing nayak en kandek moux alis vex a mi gyei xel. A neil wou xam zonghek bei, xel qou nind xouveing dalus woy.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.

6Ekom gyeik wa bei zeimemam, ond wang na eivek bam lalei me na toung qapomb zeyi dom na zeimemam wou Mam, wei mi dei xupekeing o. Woyom Mam wei mi yei vati wei mindei xupekeing, eno tyek bong xouveing wou wang.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.

7Me gyeik xam a bei zeimemamim, xam se zeimemamim ding nambei xel wei mandalus mi wong o, en xel wou naleind bei tyek Anutu na ngo xel xe qayeeng ngenongakes on.And when you pray, do not babble on like pagans, for they think that by their many words they will be heard.

8Xam seng ghok xel, gyeik ingwei wa seng ghei teling wou e yo, eno xam Mamim woulek woy en vati wei wambei teling wou e yo.Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

9“Woyom tine inye xam a bei zeimemamim eno nambei nye: “ ‘Xa Mami eivek tyoung gheyapu, wa leim e mi mendei vambuing.So then, this is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.

10Wa xe tete lalei e nam. Xa teyei bei betiwou wa laleim lek tembuing, nambei xel mi betiwou nanghei tyoung gheyapu yon.Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

11Gweimbeeng wang bong xami yaeing wei bouk titi eno wou xa.Give us this day our daily bread.

12Wa semaleeng sewokeing wei xa yo, xa is ambei nyon xa semaleeng sewokeing wei xel ba mi wong wou xa yo.And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

13Me wa se qou xa na eivek axeing, qe wa qou xa veil tambiy nilul on.’And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’

14En wangwei wa semaleeng sewokeing wei xomaxoneing wong wou wang o, on tyek Mam wei toundei tyoung gheyapu nei tyek semaleeng wa xe sewokeing is.For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

15Ekom wangwei wa se semaleeng xomaxoneing nge xe sewokeing veil, ond tyek Mam se semaleeng wa xe sewokeing is.But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive yours.

16“Gyeik wambei vambu yaeing, ond wa seng gweimam nol nambei xel wei myend yuw mi wong o, en xel mi wo mend nol me talex wou xel moux alis vex bei xel vambu yaeing. A neil wou xam zonghek, xel qou nind xouveing dalus woy.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.

17Ekom gyeik wambei vambu yaeing, on wa pelei wel lek lum me davu mam,But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,

18om wa seng bong kwa wei vambuing yaing gyeip yaeing wou xomaxoneing mendghalus. Ma, wang bong wou Mam manghalus wei mindei xupekeing o. Mam wei toundei xupekeing eno venaxow mi woulek, vati wei xel mi wong xupekeing o, eno tyek bong xouveing wou wang.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“Xam se qekuwou xam xe lulul nimzamza lek tembuing ne, wei xevek me niyeis mi wo nol wou yo, me xel wei panaxeing o mi dembu xomek me panax.Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.

20Ekom xam a mi qekuwou xam xe lulul nimzamza e na eivek tyoung gheyapu nei, wei xevek me niyeis se teyei bei bo nol wou, me panaxana se teyei bei dembu me na lalei me panax.But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.

21En nanghei ingwei wa xe lul nimza toundei ghei yo, eno wa laleim tyek na mendei is ambei nyon.For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

22“Xe mendghalus ne lam wei xe neing o. Wangwei wa mam on nimza, on wa neing dalus on tyek na pup en xeiyaing.The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light.

23Ekom wangwei wa mam aluw on nilul, yon wa neing dalus on tyek bo mapetok. Om wangwei xeiyaing wei toundei eivek wang on bo mapetok, yon mapetok on tyek bong ngandoung eivek wang mouyo!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“Tambiy ti se teyei bei bo xuk wou teiv yayuw. Moxo tyek lalei bo nol wou nge, de lalei devind nge, me tyek na mi ngo e xe qayeeng, de na toung demi wou nge. Wa seng teyeimbei bong xuk wou Anutu me malew is.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“Nambei nyon a neil wou xam bei, xam seng bounaleim ngenong en mapieing wei xam o me na neimbei, ‘Tyek xey a gha vati? O na num va? De xe neing eno tyek xey a byex vati?’ Mapieing ne ngandoung ghanaw yaeing, me neing ne ngandoung ghanaw teimb.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?

26Xam ghe gwei menek menek wei senghoing bandaing nei, xel se mi xen o se mi qekuwou o toung lulul eivek xomek yaeing. Ekom xam Mamim wei toundei tyoung gheyapu nei eno mi vet xel. Beip xam seng ghanaw menek menek on veil, ei?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?

27Eti yeiw wei mi wou naleind ngenong eno teyei bei tetulexe seivma nayaka lek e xe mapieing?Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

28“Me xam ghe di wou naleimim ngenong en teimb en va? Xam ghe gwei qapaing mavya wei toungale yon. Xel se mi wong pok o duw teimb.And why do you worry about clothes? Consider how the lilies of the field grow: They do not labor or spin.

29Ekom a neil wou xam bei Salomo mi vunek en lul nimzamza, ekom e xe vunekeing nimza yon se nambei qapaing mavya ti beimambei ne.Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.

30Wangwei inye Anutu mi vunekwou qeis qeis wei xuk o nambei nyon, ond inyon gweimbeeng me yanyeing eno xel mi nex ela eivek nenyex. Beip moxo se mi vunekwou xam? Xam on xe wongeingis on nayaka.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?

31Om xam seng bounaleim ngenong, me na neimbei, ‘Tyek xey a gha vati?’ o ‘Tyek xey a num vati?’ o ‘Tyek xey a bunek en vati?’Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’

32En xel wei mendalus eno mi yimexe lul dalus ti beimambei ne, de xam Mamim wei tyoung gheyapu eno woulek woy en vati wei xam a bei qou yo.For the Gentiles strive after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.

33Ekom xam ghe gwimexe e xe tete lalei me e xe sakwaing bombek bole, de lulul dalus ti beimambei ne eno tyek bong wou xam is ambei nyon.But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.

34Nambei nyon xam seng bou naleimim en yanyeing, en yanyeing tyek bounalei en venaxow. Nimaying wei bouk titi eno teyei lek bouk tiyon venaxow.Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.
