Matthew 6
1 “Be careful that you don’t do your charitable giving before men, to be seen by them, or else you have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
“Nlilolechesye, nkatenda yambone pa ŵandu kuti mmoneche. Pakuŵa mwatendaga yeleyo ngampegwa ntuuka kutyochela kwa Atati ŵenu ŵa kwinani.
2 Therefore, when you do merciful deeds, don’t sound a trumpet before yourself, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may get glory from men. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward.
“Nipele pankunkamuchisya jwakulaga, nkagomba lipenga. Nkatenda mpela yakuti pakutenda ŵaulamba mmajumba ga kupopelela ni mmatala kuti ŵandu anlape. Ngunsalila isyene, ŵelewo ŵamale kupochela ntuuka wao.
3 But when you do merciful deeds, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand does,
Nambo mmwe pankunkamuchisya jwakulaga, ntende yeleyo mwakusisa namose ambusanga ŵenu akamanyilila,
4 so that your merciful deeds may be in secret, then your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
nipele mwakamuchisye ŵakulaga mwakusisika ni Atati ŵenu ŵakulola yakusisika, chachimpa mbote.
5 “When you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Most certainly, I tell you, they have received their reward.
“Sooni pankupopela, nkaŵa mpela ŵaulamba. Pakuŵa ŵelewo ikwanonyela kupopela achijimaga mmajumba ga kupopelela ni pamalekano melepe aoneche ni ŵandu. Ngunsalila isyene, ŵelewo ŵamale kupochela mbote jao.
6 But you, when you pray, enter into your inner room, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
Nambo mmweji pankupopela, njinjile nkati mwenu, mmugale nnango ni mwapopele Atati ŵenu ŵangakuwonekana. Nombe Atati ŵenu ŵakulola inkuipanganya kwakusisika, champe mbote.
7 In praying, don’t use vain repetitions as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking.
“Pankupopela, nkaŵecheta maloŵe ga wamba mpela ŵandu ŵangakwamanyilila Akunnungu. Pakuŵa ŵanyawo akuganisya kuti Akunnungu chachapilikanila kwa ligongo lya maloŵe gao gamajinji.
8 Therefore don’t be like them, for your Father knows what things you need before you ask him.
Nipele nkalandana ni ŵanyawo, pakuŵa Atati ŵenu akumanyilila chinkusaka nkanaŵe kwaŵenda.
9 Pray like this: “‘Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.
Nipele ŵanyamwe mpopeleje yeleyi, ‘Atati ŵetu ŵandi kwinani, Liina lyenu lichimbichikwe kwannope.
10 Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Umwenye wenu uiche. Chinkusaka cho chitendekwe pachilambo pano mpela kwinani.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
Ntupe chakulya chetu cha lyuŵa ni lyuŵa.
12 Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.
Ntulechelesye ileŵo yetu, mpela uweji itukuti kwalechelesya wose ŵakutuleŵela.
13 Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen.’
Nkatujinjisya nkulinjikwa, nambo ntukulupusye ni jwangalumbana.’ Pakuŵa umwenye uli wenu ni machili ni ukulu moŵa gose pangali mbesi.
14 “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
“Pakuŵa mwalechelesyaga ŵandu ileŵo yao, Atati ŵenu ŵa kwinani channechelesye ni ŵanyamwe ŵakwe.
15 But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Nambo iŵaga ngamwalechelesya ŵandu, nombe Atati ŵenu ŵa kwinani ngasannechelesya ni ŵanyamwe ŵakwe.
16 “Moreover when you fast, don’t be like the hypocrites, with sad faces. For they disfigure their faces that they may be seen by men to be fasting. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward.
“Pankutaŵa, ngasimma mpela ŵaulamba. Ŵanyawo akutaŵa sinya ku meeso kwao melepe awoneche ni ŵandu kuti akutaŵa. Nambo une ngunsalila isyene kuti ŵelewo ŵamale kupochela ntuuka wao.
17 But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,
Nambo mwe pankutaŵa, nsukusule ku meeso ni kupakala mauta muntwe,
18 so that you are not seen by men to be fasting, but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.
kuti ŵandu anamanyilile kuti nkutaŵa, nambo mmanyiche ni Atati ŵenu ŵangakuwoneka. Nombe Atati ŵenu pe ŵakulola yakusisika, chachimpa mbote jenu.
19 “Don’t lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal;
“Nkaligosela mbiko pa chilambo pano pajikonasika ni idudu ni imbulukutu, ni ŵawiyi akwinjila ni kwiŵa.
20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves don’t break through and steal;
Nambo nligosele mbiko kwinani kwangajonasika chindu ni idudu namose imbulukutu, atamuno ŵawiyi ngakukombola kwinjila ni kwiŵa.
21 for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Pakuŵa pajili mbiko jenu pele ntima wenu ni pachiuŵe.
22 “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light.
“Liso lili lulanga lwa chiilu. Nipele liso lyenu lyaŵaga lyansima, chiilu chenu chose chichiŵe mu lilanguka.
23 But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!
Nambo liso lyenu lyaŵaga ngaŵa lyansima, chiilu chenu chose chichiŵe mu chipi. Nipele lilanguka lyalili nkati mwenu lyaŵaga mu chipi, chipi cho chili totoloo!
24 “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can’t serve both God and Mammon.
“Ngapagwa jwakukombola kwatumichila achambuje ŵaŵili. Pakuŵa chanchime jumo ni kunnonyela jwine. Pane chanchimbichisye jumo ni kunnyelusya jwine. Ngankukombola kwatumichila Akunnungu nchitumichilaga mbiya kwanakamo.
25 Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
“Kwa lyele ligongo ngunsalila, ngasinlilagasya kwa ligongo lya umi wenu kuti chindye chichi ni ching'we chichi namose kwa ligongo lya iilu kuti chimmwale chichi. Pakuŵa umi utopele kupunda yakulya ni chiilu chitopele kupunda iwalo.
26 See the birds of the sky, that they don’t sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you of much more value than they?
Nnyilole ijuni ya mwikonde, ngaikupanda namose ngaikugungula atamuno nganiikola ikuti yaili yose. Nambo Atati ŵenu ŵa kwinani akuilisya. Ŵanyamwe ndi wakutopela kwipunda ijuni yo.
27 “Which of you by being anxious, can add one moment to his lifespan?
Nipele, ŵaani mwa ŵanyamwe kwakulichenjeusya nnope akukombola kulijonjechesya namose lyuŵa limo mmoŵa ga umi wakwe?
28 Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin,
“Yankati iwalo, kwachichi nkulajilila? Nnole uluŵa wa mwikonde yaukuti umele wakwe. Ngaukupanganya masengo atamuno ngaukuliluchila iwalo.
29 yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these.
Nambo ngunsalila kuti, namose mwenye che Selemani ni ukulu wao wose nganawale yambone mpela limo lya uluŵa wo.
30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today exists and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, won’t he much more clothe you, you of little faith?
Nipele iŵaga Akunnungu akulitakusya yeleyo lisamba lya mwitinji lyalikumela lelo ni malaŵi likupatuka ni kwasikwa pa mooto ana ngati chantakusye kwakupunda ŵanyamwe ŵandi ni chikulupi chamwana?
31 “Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’
“Nipele ngasinkola lipamba chindye chichi? Atamuno ching'we chichi? Namose chimbwale chichi?
32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
Pakuŵa yose yo ikuchenjeuchilwa ni ŵandu ŵangakwamanyilila Akunnungu. Nambo mwanya Atati ŵenu ŵa kwinani akumanyilila kuti nkuilajila yele indu.
33 But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.
Nipele nsose kaje Umwenye wa Akunnungu ni kupanganya yaili yambone paujo pa Akunnungu, ni indu ine chiijonjechekwe kukwenu.
34 Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient.
Nipele ngasinkola lipamba yankati malaŵi, pakuŵa malaŵi ikwete yakwe. Kulaga kwa lyuŵa limo kukunkwana kwa lyele lyuŵa.
