Matthew 6 (ZAJ)

1“Iteganyeni, sambimtende mbuli zenu zinogile haulongozi wa wanhu giladi mwoneke na hewo, kwavija muhatenda hivo ham'bokela nhunza kulawa ha Tata wenu wa kuulanga.“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“Uhamwing'ha mkumbulu, sambiumulongele munhu yoyose mkutoa mhalati, kamba viwotenda videlenya muna zing'anda za nhambiko na mzinzila, giladi watogoligwe na wanhu. Nowalongela ikweli, wanhu hiwo wesha kubokela nhunza yao.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.

3Ila uhamwing'ha mkumbulu, hata mkono wako wa ukumoso sambiuvitange kitendigwa na mkono wako wa ukulume,But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

4avo nhunza yako yowa mkifiso. Abaho, Tataako, yolola kija kitendeke mkifiso, kokugwelela nhunza.so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

5“Muhatambika, sambimuwe kamba videlenya! Kwavija hewo wonogelwa kutambika kuno wemile wima muna zing'anda za nhambiko na mzinzilamhanda, giladi woneke na wanhu. Nowalongela ikweli, wesha kubokela nhunza yao.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.

6Ila uhatambika, ingila mdigati jako, hinda ulwivi, na tambika ha Tataako yali mkifiso. Abaho, Tataako, yolola kija kitendeke mkifiso, kokugwelela nhunza.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“Muhatambika, sambimulonge mbuli bwando zilibule nhegulo ha Mulungu, kamba viwotenda Wamhazi, kwavija wogelegeza kamba wohulikwa sama ya mbuli zao kuwa bwando.And when you pray, do not babble on like pagans, for they think that by their many words they will be heard.

8Sambimuilinge nao, kwavija Tata wenu kovitanga chumulonda hata mng'hali hamunampula.Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

9Avo tambikeni kamba vino, ‘Tata wetu wa kuulanga, twaga jako diyenzigwe,So then, this is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.

10Undewa wako wize, chuulonda kitendeke muisi kamba viili kuulanga.Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

11Utugwelele mandia getu ga kila zua.Give us this day our daily bread.

12Vigele kumgongo vilozo vetu, kamba tweye vituwagela kumgongo wanhu watutendile mbuli zihile.And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

13Sambiutugele mkugezigwa, ila utukombole kulawa ha Mwenembago. Kwavija Undewa, na mhiko, na yenzi vako gweye gunge na gunge. Amina.’And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’

14“Kwavija kamba muhawagela kumgongo wanhu wawatendile mbuli zihile, vivija na Tata wenu wa kuulanga kovigela kumgongo vilozo venu.For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

15Ila kamba hamuwagela kumgongo wanhu wawatendile mbuli zihile, vivija na Tata wenu wa kuulanga havigela kumgongo vilozo venu.But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive yours.

16“Muhafunga, sambimnyunguale kamba viwotenda videlenya, kwavija wosinalika giladi watogolwe na wanhu kamba wafunga. Nowalongela ikweli, wesha kubokela nhunza yao.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.

17Uhafunga, suluza kihanga chako abaho bakaza mavuta pala jako,But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,

18giladi wanhu sambiwavitange kamba kufunga. Ila Tataako yoleka koneka, kovitanga. Na Tataako, yolola kija kitendeke mkifiso, kokugwelela nhunza.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“Sambimwiikile ngama muisi, aho hana ivimhungu na ng'hangaga hondawabanange, na wabavi wobena wokwingila na kwiba.Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.

20Ila ikeni ngama kuulanga, kulibule vimhungu na ng'hangaga wondawabanange, na wabavi hawabena na kwingila na kwiba.But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.

21Kwavija hanhu haili ngama yako, vivija na moyo wako baho hondaukale.For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

22“Siso dijo kiwenge cha lukuli. Ihawa siso jako gima, lukuli lwako lose lomema mulangaza.The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light.

23Ila siso jako dihabanangika, lukuli lwako lose lomema ziza. Na kamba mulangaza uli mgati yako wowa ziza, avo ziza hijo dowa kulu!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“Haduhu munhu yodaha kuwasang'hanikila wandewa wabili, kwavija komwihila imwe na kumnogela iyagwe, ama komnanahila imwe na kum'beza iyagwe. Hudaha kumsang'hanikila Mulungu kuno usang'hanikila 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“Avo nowalongela, sambimuigazile ugima wenu, kamba mje choni ama mung'we choni, ama ng'huli zenu, kamba m'vale choni. Ugima hauzamile kubanza mandia? Na lukuli haluzamile kubanza vivalo?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?

26Waloleni ndege wa kuulanga, hawahanda, hawahuna, na hawakunzanya mmakano, na Tata wenu wa kuulanga kowagwelela mandia. Avo, mweye mzama ng'hani kubanza ndege.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?

27Yalihi mmwanza wenu mkuigaza yodaha kuiyongezela saa dimwe da ugima wake?Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

28“Habali muigazila vivalo? Loleni malua ga kumgunda vigokula, hagasang'hana ama kuitendela vivalo.And why do you worry about clothes? Consider how the lilies of the field grow: They do not labor or spin.

29Nowalongela kamba hata Selemani na yenzi yake yose havazigwe vinogile kamba dimwe da malua gano.Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.

30Ihawa kamba Mulungu kodivaza jani da kumgunda, dija lelo dabaho na mayo dokwasigwa muna umoto, vino heyo haleka kuwavaza vinogile mweye wanhu muli na nhamanila ndodo?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“Avo sambimuigaze mkulonga, ‘Toja choni?’ ama ‘Tong'wa choni?’ ama ‘Tovala choni?’Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’

32Kwavija Wamhazi wovizahila vinhu vino vose, na Tata wenu wa kuulanga kovitanga kamba movilonda vinhu vino vose.For the Gentiles strive after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.

33Ila uzahileni tanhu Undewa wa Mulungu na ndagizi zake, na vinhu vino vose mogweleligwa.But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.

34Avo sambimuigazile mayo, kwavija mayo yowa na migayo yake yenyego. Mgayo wa zua dimwe wotosha kwa zua dimwe.”Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.
