Matthew 6 (XSN)

1“Ezana a sauwo tana ogole oying orere wa itǝ ogongta a yizi ne. Azaa obena e eza nyimi, eto cǝ o taasa o woma araa Ate aying o zaa shili ne.“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“Nyimia baaya nya ana odera, tana o ara lengmelo ajǝng ka komana kone ne, ana o ara ukpwei ezeze nyimi odandaro o gwarzanang maYahuda ka azaa marona adora aromo sabe ne. Eyang dongdong bele oying, ne samba ocǝ o taasa o woma one pat.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.

3Aa bayaa nya ondo odera eyapa, tana o baya o ara oguri wa rose epaaka o ara ore ya eza me ne,But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

4adorana nyaza oying itǝ epa esuk. Arakaname Ate aying, ka wa gongte epaaka aya ezaa me aa asuk, wayo taasau akap.so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

5“Aa baaya beya angmǝ ka Ashili, tana oye na ana o ara ukpwei ne, ne yeme o beya angmǝ ka Ashili a itǝ a madandaro ma ogwarzanang maYahuda ka edǝki marona ka aromo laka ne. Eyang dongdong bele oying epeng, ne samba o emba o taasa one a pat.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.

6Nyimia waaza, baya beya angmǝ ka Ashili, ale a nyimi odo o, pate abuudu me o beye angmǝ ka Ate au aaka ata gonta ai ne, aa Ate au ka agonte pate epaaka a eze a suk, ayo taasau.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“A eeya beya angmǝ ka Ashili, tana wa eweo na aworme ka neta rosa Ashili ne, andaame neya gonta na ne beya angmǝ a ewo waya yo ote ka kone ne.And when you pray, do not babble on like pagans, for they think that by their many words they will be heard.

8Tane itǝ na nee ne, Ate ying rosa epaaka e gwara ka ying zongka e pirkǝ ai.Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

9E beya angmǝ ka Ashili nanna, “Ate aro ozaa shili, a monte leze leo a sangsang.So then, this is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.

10A togomo to de, aa eze epaaka oya yeme me a lerambo leena, nangka ezeze azaa shili.Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

11Nyaro epaolya o ngmeengme.Give us this day our daily bread.

12O pisi ro madinǝ maro, nangka te pisizi andaaka ne ezeze ro madinǝ.And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

13Tana o ale kaaro ara o kedeya ne, o wobe ro a taara te ogomo o bere o buru ona.’And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’

14“E pisǝ aromo aaka ne ezeze ying epa eburu, Ate aying o zaa shili yo pisǝ maying’.For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

15Aa eeta pisǝ ana ondo madinǝ mane ne, Ate ying to pisǝ epa eburu eeying ne.”But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive yours.

16“Eeya meke o ngmǝ, tane care mayinu nangka ana o ara ukpwei ezeze ne. Ne care mayinu kane wore aromo bekaana neya eza opate o ngmǝ. Ang dongdong bele oying, ne samba ocǝ o taasa one naname.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.

17Aa baaya pate o ngmǝ, kwizǝ mayinu mau, o saane mai manau,But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,

18adorana tana rosa o bena oya eza o pate o ngmǝ ne. Ate au kaa ta gonta ne, ooka kangza wa gonte pate epaaka a ezeze a suk, wayo taasau.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“Tana e kuri tukpwei toying ocǝ a lerambo leena araaka egau kaa orengkaka yo cara wai ne, araaka akǝri neyo pora ka ne lyǝ ne kpwi.Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.

20Soona e kuri tukpwei toying ocǝ azaa shili, araaka egau ka orengkaka to cara wai ne, araaka kangza, akǝri to lyǝ ka ne eze bekǝri ne.But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.

21Araaka ocǝ o zene, sanamea lenyong leo zene kangza.For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

22“Liizi leya beru be masanto ma lepung, liizi leo leeya cammo, pate lepung leo yo pena ka masanto.The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light.

23A liizi leo leeta cammo ne, pate lepung leo yo dera masanto. Masanto ma lepung leo ma itǝ maring, maring yo dongdong gongha!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“Ondo wa era wata eza lezara ateakoro leere ne, baya nyimi oyo nyana o yende o yeme o yende, koona o tare o yende o zeele o leere me. Ba era ota tare Ashili kaa emate awere yende ne.”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.

25Azaa nyimi eyang bele oying, tana e gare tukpwei toying azaa epaaka eya lyame, koona eya sa me, koona nangka eyo cǝ madibi ma o amba. Ebeene kala epaolya sang? Aa lepung kangza kala madibi sang?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?

26Laka na engmeng o zaa shili, neta eza o shebeka koona ne shende kane eke a bengga ne. Pate ka nyimi Ate ying o zaa shili lyeeze ka ne. Ying e kala ne edang sang?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?

27Mana a nyimi oying a kazo gara ukpwei wai wa era wa wale lemore le yende a nyimi tomore to wai?Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

28“Na eyaka eya gara tukpwei toying azaa madibi ma o amba? Laka nangka eburu o wake e gongze, neta eza gole yende ne.And why do you worry about clothes? Consider how the lilies of the field grow: They do not labor or spin.

29Pate ka nyimi eyang belo oying na ogomo Suleimanu ka ocǝ wai wata wa amba madibi maa gong na ondo a nyimi one ne.Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.

30Nyimia Ashili eze mawake ma owake bejaga nanna, maaka maya arakana o ngmeengme, a leere a ese mai ka ola, shibari ying? Ying ana o dera o kabare kaa Ashili!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?

31Azaa nyimi tana e gare tukpwei toying a beyana, ‘Eya taya lya me?’ Koona ‘Eya teya sa me?’ Koona ‘Eya teya amba me?’Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’

32A worme ana o dera o rosa Ashili neya gare tukpwei tone azaa o gera nyimi. Kangza Ate aying o zaa shili a rose o bena eya yeme mapapa maana.For the Gentiles strive after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.

33Epa e woma o bora eya, e nya Ashili tukpwei toying, e eze epa e togomo te Ashili, ka o gera epa ee sangsang ai, ayo nya ying kaa pate ma mapapa maana kangza.But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.

34Zaa nyimia tana e gare tukpwei toying azaa leere ne, leere yo deya ka ebelo gara le. Konang lengme ya ka ozitǝ ka waya kap ka le.Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.
