Mathaio 6
1 “Mme elang tlhoko! Se direng tshiamo ya lona fa pele ga batho gore ba lo tlotle, fa lo dira jalo ga lona go bona tuelo e e tswang kwa go Rraeno yo o kwa legodimong.
Take heed that you do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise you have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
2 Fa o naya mokopi mpho, se bue kaga yone mo mpepeneneng jaaka baitimokanyi ba dira: ba letsa ditorompeta mo dikerekeng le mo mebileng ya motse gore ditiro tsa bone tsa lorato di tle di bonwe! Ke a lo bolelela ka pelo yotlhe, ba setse ba amogetse tuelo yotlhe, e ba neng ba tlaa e bona.
Therefore when you do your alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Truly I say to you, They have their reward.
3 Mme fa o direla mongwe tshiamo, ka sephiri, se bolelele lebogo la gago la molema se se dirwang ke lebogo la moja.
But when you do alms, let not your left hand know what your right hand does:
4 Mme Rraeno yo o itseng diphiri tsotlhe o tla go duela.
That your alms may be in secret: and your Father which sees in secret himself shall reward you openly.
5 “Mme jaanong kaga thapelo. Fa lo rapela, lo se ka lwa nna jaaka baitimokanyi ba ba ipaang jaaka o ka re ke ba ba obamelang Modimo ka go rapela mo ponong ya mongwe le mongwe mo makopanelong a mebila le mo dikerekeng mo ba ka bonwang ke mongwe le mongwe teng. Ammaaruri ke yone tuelo yotlhe e ba tlaa lalang ba e bonye.
And when you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Truly I say to you, They have their reward.
6 Mme fa o rapela, tsamaya o le nosi, o itswalele mo tlung mme o rapele Rraeno ka sephiri, mme Rraeno yo o itseng diphiri tsa gago, o tlaa go duela.
But you, when you pray, enter into your closet, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father which is in secret; and your Father which sees in secret shall reward you openly.
7 “Se, boaboele thapelo ya gago jaaka baheitane ba dira, ba ba gopolang gore dithapelo di arabiwa fela ka go boaboelwa. Gakologelwa gore Rrago o itse se tota o se tlhokang pele ga o mo kopa!
But when you pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
Be not you therefore like to them: for your Father knows what things you have need of, before you ask him.
9 Rapelang jaana: ‘Rraetsho yo o kwa legodimong re tlotla leina la gago le le itshephileng.
After this manner therefore pray you: Our Father which are in heaven, Hallowed be your name.
10 Re kopa gore bogosi jwa gago bo tle ka bofefo. A go rata ga gago go dirwe mono lefatshing jaaka go dirwa kwa legodimong.
Your kingdom come, Your will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Re neele dijo tsa rona gape gompieno jaaka malatsi otlhe.
Give us this day our daily bread.
12 Mme o re itshwarele dibe tsa rona, jaaka re itshwaretse ba ba re leofetseng.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 Se re ise mo thaelong, mme o re golole mo go yo o bosula. Amen.’
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For your is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
14 Rraeno wa Legodimo o tlaa go itshwarela, fa o itshwarela ba ba go leofelang, mme fa o gana go ba itshwarela ga a kitla a go itshwarela.
For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
But if you forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
16 “Jaanong ka ga go ikitsa dijo; fa o ikitsa dijo, o tlogela dijo ka maikaelelo a semowa, se dire jalo mo mpepeneneng, jaaka baitimokanyi ba dira ba leka go itlhontsha difatlhogo le go tlhoka go apara sentle gore batho ba ba utlwele botlhoko. Ammaaruri, ke yone tuelo e ba tlaa lalang ba e bonye.
Moreover when you fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear to men to fast. Truly I say to you, They have their reward.
17 “Mme fa o ikitsa dijo, apara sentle,
But you, when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your face;
18 Gore le fa e le ope a seka a belaela gore o bolailwe ke tlala, fa e se Rraeno fela yo o itseng sephiri sengwe le sengwe. Mme o tlaa go duela.
That you appear not to men to fast, but to your Father which is in secret: and your Father, which sees in secret, shall reward you openly.
19 “Se boloke dikhumo tsa gago fano mo lefatshing mo di ka senyegang kgotsa tsa utswiwa.
Lay not up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust does corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 Di boloke kwa legodimong kwa di se kitlang di latlhegelwa ke tlhwatlhwa teng, di bolokesegile mo magodung!
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust does corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 “Fa dikhumo tsa gago di le kwa legodimong le pelo ya gago e tlaa nna teng.
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22 “Fa leitlho la gago le itshekile go tlaa nna lesedi mo pelong ya gago.
The light of the body is the eye: if therefore your eye be single, your whole body shall be full of light.
23 Mme fa leitlho la gago le sirilwe ke dikgopolo tse di bosula le dikeletso, o mo botennye jwa lefifi la semowa. Ao, kana lefifi leo le ka nna legolo thata jang!
But if your eye be evil, your whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you be darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 “Ga o ka ke wa direla barena ba le babedi: Modimo le madi. Ka o tla ila yo mongwe o rate yo mongwe, kgotsa go nne ka tsela e sele.
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
25 “Jalo he, tlhagiso ya me ke e: se tshwenyegeng ka ga dilo-ebong dijo, dino, madi le diaparo. Ka gore o setse o na le botshelo le mmele-mme di botlhokwa go na le se se tshwanetseng go jewa le se se tshwanetseng go aparwa.
Therefore I say to you, Take no thought for your life, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor yet for your body, what you shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26 Bonang dinonyane! Ga di tshwenyege kaga se se jewang ga di tlhoke go jala kgotsa go roba kgotsa go boloka dijo ka gore Rraalona wa Legodimo o a di otla. Mme lona lo tlhwatlhwa kgolo mo go ene go na le tsone.
Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much better than they?
27 A ditlhobaelo tsa lona tsotlhe di ka oketsa botshelo jwa lona ka motsotso o le mongwe?
Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit to his stature?
28 “Mme ke eng fa o tlhobaela kaga diaparo tsa gago. Lebang dithunya tsa naga! Ga di tlhobaele kaga diaparo tsa tsone.
And why take you thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 Le fa go ntse jalo, Kgosi Solomone mo kgalalelong ya gagwe o na a sa apesiwa bontle jaaka di ntse.
And yet I say to you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Mme fa Modimo o tlhokomela dithunya tse di fano gompieno ka tlhokomelo e kgolo, mme ka moso di be di seyo, a tota ga o na go lo tlhokomela, lona batho ba tumelo e potlana?
Why, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31 “Jalo he, se tlhobaeleng gotlhelele kaga go nna le dijo tse di lekanyeng le diaparo. Ke eng fa lo nna jaaka baheitane ka gore ba nna le boikgantsho mo dilong tse tsotlhe, gape ba amega thata kaga tsone, mme Rraeno wa legodimo o setse a itse sentle gore lo a di tlhoka.
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek: ) for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things.
33 “Mme ka boitumelo o tlaa di lo naya fa lo mo naya tlotlo e kgolo mo botshelong jwa lona.
But seek you first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.
34 “Jalo he, se tlhobaeleleng bokamoso, Modimo o tlaa tlhokomela bokamoso jwa lona. Lebogelang tlhabo ya letsatsi e lo e boneng.
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient to the day is the evil thereof.
