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.
Amuchenjele kuti mutachiti milimo yanu iluleme kumeso abantu kuti mwebelwe ambabo. Mwachita obo, tamukwe bulumbu kuli Uuso wanu uulikujulu.
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.
Nkambo kaako chindi nchowabila bantu izipo utasibi imwembo kubusyu bwabo mbuli mbubachita basikuupawupa ameso muzikombelo amumigwagwa, kuti batembawulwe kubantu. Nchobeni ndamwambila kuti balijene kale bulumbu bwabo.
3 But when you do merciful deeds, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand does,
Pesi webo, ichindi nchowabila bantu zipo ijanza lyako lyakululyo litazibi mbulichita lyakuchimwensi.
4 so that your merciful deeds may be in secret, then your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
Kuti zipo zyako zibe kumbali, lino Uuso ubonena kumbali uzokulumbula.
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.
Alimwi chindi nchomukomba mutabi mbuli basikupawupa amenso nkambo balayanda kukomba bwimvwi muzikombelo amuzyooko zyamigwagwa mipati kuti babonwe kubantu. Nchobeni ndamwambila kuti balijene kale bulumbu bwabo.
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.
Iwebo chindi nchokomba njila muchimpetu chako ulijalile kumulyango ukkombe kuli Uuso uubonena kumbali uzokulumbula.
7 In praying, don’t use vain repetitions as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking.
Alimwi mukukomba kwenu mutayindululi mbuli mbubachita bamaasi, nkambo balayeya kuti balaswililwa kukubwanta kwabo.
8 Therefore don’t be like them, for your Father knows what things you need before you ask him.
Nkinkaako, mutakozyani abo nkambo Uuso wanu ulikujulu ulizi zintu zyonse nzimubula kamutana kumubuzya
9 Pray like this: “‘Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.
mbuboobu mbumwelede kukomba: 'Taata wesu ooli kujulu, alilemekwe izina lyako, abuze bwami bwako.
10 Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Aluchitwe luyando lwako, ansi aano mbubonya mbuli kujulu.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
Utupe sunu zilyo zitwelede.
12 Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.
Utulekelele milandu yesu, mbubonya mbuli mbutu balakelela aswe bali amilandu kuli ndiswe.
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.’
Utatwenzyi mukutempawulwa. Utuvune kumubi, nkambo bwami mbubwako anguzu, abulemu, mane kukabe kutamani. Ameni.
14 “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
Nkambo mwalekelela bantu milandu yabo alakwe Uusowanu ulikujulu ulamulekelela anywebo.
15 But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Pele mwatabalekelela bantu milandu yabo anywebo tamukoyolekelelwa.
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.
Alimwi chindi nchomulyiimya kulya mutabi mbuli basikuwupawupa amenso, nkambo balo balawungumana, balabisya masyu aabo, kuti baboneke kubantu mbubalyimya kulya. Nchobeni ndamwambila kuti balijene kale bulumbu bwabo.
17 But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,
Pele chiindi ncholyimya kulya webo, ubotye mutwe wako akusamba kumenso aako.
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 kulyiimya kwako kutaboneki kubantu pele kuli Uuso uuli kumbali lino Uuso uubonena kumbali uzokulumbula.
19 “Don’t lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal;
Mutaliyobwedi lubono aansi ano mpaabisya mapempe ankalaya ababbi mpobatulula kuti babbe.
20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves don’t break through and steal;
Amuliyobwede lubono lwakujulu nkwatabisyi mapempe ankalaya, ababbi nkubatatululi kuti babbe.
21 for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Nkambo lubono lwako nkulubede nkukonya oko nkubede moyo wako.
22 “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light.
Ilampi lyamubili ndinso nkambo kaako linso lyako kuti kalili sibuuya mubili wako woonse ulazula mumuni.
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!
Anukuti linso lyako kalili abutavu mubili wako woonse lino mumuni mulinduwe wakali mudima. Mudima wayo ulasiya mbi.
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.
Takwe muntu ukonzya kumanina baami bobile milimo nkambo ulasula umwi ulayanda umwi na ulakakilila umwi akusampawula umwi. Tamukonzyi kubelekela Leza antomwe alubono.
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?
Nkambo kaako ndamwambila kuti, mutalibilikili kubuumi bwanu kuti tukalyeenzi? Nikuba kumibili yenu kuti, tukasamenzi? Buumi bwenu tabwiindi zilyo awalo mubili sa tuyindi zyakusama?
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?
Amulange bayuni bakujulu nkambo tababyali tabatebuli, tabayoboli mumatala, nekuba boobo Uusowanu ulikujulu ulabasanina. Sa inywe tamuyandiki kwinda mbabo?
27 “Which of you by being anxious, can add one moment to his lifespan?
Ngwani akati kenu ulibilika ukonzya kukomezya chiimo chakwe nikuba kakokola komwe?
28 Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin,
Alimwi nkamboonzi mulalibilikila zyakusama? Amuyeye masamu amusokwe mbwamena, tabeleki, takonzyi kuluka,
29 yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these.
pele ndamwambila kuti naba Solomoni mubulemu bwakwe boonse takakonzya kusama mbuli limwi akati kanzizyo.
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?
Lino kuti Leza kasamika boobo maani amusokwe, aaliko sunu pele ijunza alasowelwa muchikko, sa takayindi loko kumusamika anywebo nobasilusyomo lunini.
31 “Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’
Nkambo kaako mutalibiliki akaamba kuti tukalyeenzi? Tukanyweenzi? Tukasamenzi?'
32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
Nkambo kazeezi zyoonseni nzibayandula bamaasi, alimwi Uusowanu ulikujulu ulizi kuti eezi zyonse zilayandwa kulindinywe.
33 But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.
Pele amusangune kuyandula bwami bwa Leza abululami bwakwe eelyo zintu ezi zyoonse mulaziyungizizigwa azyalo.
34 Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient.
Nkambo kaako mutalibilikili zyejunza, nkambo bwejunza bula lilibilikila bwini. Buzuba bwasunu bulizulide mapenzi abo bwalo.
