Matayos 6
1 Iska jira inaydnaan xaqnimadiinna dadka ku hor samayn inay idin arkaan, haddii kale abaal kuma lihidin Aabbihiinna jannada ku jira.
“When you do your good deeds, make certain that you do not do them when other people are watching so that they may see you [and think highly of you]. If [you do good deeds merely in order that other people may think highly of you, God], your Father who is in heaven, will not give you any reward.
2 Haddaba markaad sadaqad bixinayso, buun ha ugu dhufan hortaada sida labawejiilayaashu sunagogyada iyo jidadka ku sameeyaan si dadku u ammaanaan. Runtii waxaan idinku leeyahay, Abaalgudkoodii way heleen.
So, whenever you give something to the poor, do not [announce it as people announce something that they want other people to know about] by playing a [fanfare] on a trumpet [MET]. That is what the hypocrites do (in the synagogues/in the Jewish meeting places) and on the main roads in order that people might [see what they do and] praise them. Keep this in mind: [People praise those hypocrites], [but] that is the [only] reward they will receive!
3 Laakiin adigu goortaad sadaqad bixinayso, bidixdaadu yaanay ogaan waxa midigtaadu samaynayso,
Instead [of doing as they do], when you give something to the poor, do not let other people know that you are doing that [MET].
4 si ay sadaqaddaadu u qarsoonaato, oo Aabbahaaga waxa qarsoon arka ayaa kuu abaalgudi doona.
In that way, you will be giving to the poor secretly. [As a result God], your Father who observes [you] while no one else sees [you], will reward you.
5 Oo goortaad tukanaysaan, ha ahaanina sida labawejiilayaasha, waayo, waxay jecel yihiin inay tukadaan iyagoo taagan sunagogyada iyo meesha jidadku isku gooyaan si ay dadka ugu muuqdaan. Runtii waxaan idinku leeyahay, Abaalgudkoodii way heleen.
Also when you pray, do not do what the hypocrites do. They like to stand in the Jewish meeting places and on the corners of the main streets to pray, in order that other people will see them [and think highly of them]. Keep this in mind: [People praise them, but] that is the [only] reward they will get.
6 Laakiin adigu goortaad tukanaysid, qolkaaga qarsoon gal, oo goortaad albaabkaaga xidhid, Aabbahaaga meesha qarsoon ku jira bari, oo Aabbahaaga waxa qarsoon arka ayaa kuu abaalgudi doona.
But as for you, when you pray, go into your private room and close the door in order to pray to [God], your Father, whom no one can see. He observes you where no one else observes you, and he will reward you.
7 Goortaad tukanaysaan hadalka ha ku celcelinina sida dadka aan Ilaah aaminin yeelaan, waayo, waxay u malaynayaan in loo maqlayo hadalkooda badan aawadiis.
When you pray, do not repeat words many times as the people who do not know God do [when they pray. They repeat meaningless words] because they think that if they use many words, their gods will listen to them and give them [what they ask for].
8 Sidaa darteed ha ahaanina sidooda oo kale, waayo, Aabbihiin waa og yahay waxaad u baahan tihiin intaanad weyddiin.
Do not [repeat words] as they do, because [God] your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
9 Haddaba sidatan u tukada, Aabbahayaga jannada ku jirow, magacaagu quduus ha ahaado.
So pray [things] like this: Father, [you who are] in heaven, we [(exc)] desire that you be honored/revered {that people honor/revere you}.
10 Boqortooyadaadu ha timaado, doonistaada dhulka ha lagu yeelo sida jannada loogu yeelo.
We [(exc)] desire that people let you rule [over their lives]. We(exc) want [people who live] on the earth to do what you desire, as those who live in heaven [do what you want them to do].
11 Kibis maalin nagu filan, maanta na sii.
Give us [(exc)] each day the food [SYN] that we [(exc) need for] that day.
12 Oo naga cafi qaamahayaga sidaannu u cafinnay kuwa noo qaamaysan.
Forgive our sins just like we [(exc)] have forgiven the people who sin against us [(exc)].
13 Oo jirrabaadda ha noo kaxayn, laakiin sharka naga du. Waayo, boqortooyada iyo xoogga iyo ammaanta adigaa leh weligaa. Aamiin.
Do not let us(exc) do wrong things when we(exc) are tempted {someone or something tempts us}, and rescue us [(exc)] when Satan the evil one tempts us to do evil things.”
14 Waayo, haddaad dadka u cafidaan xumaantooda, Aabbihiinna jannada ku jira ayaa idin cafiyi doona.
“[Forgive the people who sin against you], because, if you forgive other people, [God], your Father who is in heaven, will forgive your [sins].
15 Laakiin haddaanad dadka cafiyin, Aabbihiinnu xumaantiinna idiin cafiyi maayo.
But if you do not forgive other people, neither will God forgive your sins.”
16 Kolkaad soontaan ha ahaanina sida labawejiilayaashu u fool qulubsan yihiin, waayo, way isfoolxumeeyaan si ay dadka ugu muuqdaan inay sooman yihiin. Runtii waxaan idinku leeyahay, Abaalgudkoodii way heleen.
“When you abstain from eating food [in order to please God], do not look sad as the hypocrites look. They make their faces appear sad in order that people will see that they are abstaining from food [and will think highly of them]. Keep this in mind: [People will think highly of those people for that], but [that is the only] reward those people will get!
17 Laakiin adigu goortaad soontid, madaxaaga saliid marso oo fool dhaqo,
Instead, [each of] you, when you abstain from food, should comb your hair and wash your face [as usual],
18 si aadan dadka ugu muuqan inaad sooman tahay, laakiin aad ugu muuqatid Aabbahaaga meel qarsoon ku jira, oo Aabbahaaga waxa qarsoon arkaa waa kuu abaalgudi doonaa.
in order that other people will not notice that you are fasting [because you will look as you always do]. But [God], your Father, whom no one can see, [will observe that you are abstaining from food. God] your Father sees [you] even though no one else sees [you], and he will reward you.”
19 Maal ha ku urursanina dhulka, meesha aboorka iyo miridhku ku baabbi'iyaan, iyo meesha tuugaggu jebiyaan oo ka xadaan,
“Do not [selfishly] accumulate large quantities of money and material goods for yourselves on [this] earth, because [the earth is where everything is destroyed. For example], on earth termites ruin things, and things rust, and thieves enter [buildings] and steal things.
20 laakiin maal jannada ku urursada, meesha aboorka iyo miridhku ayan ku baabbi'in iyo meesha tuugaggu ayan jebin oo ayan ka xadin.
Instead, do [deeds that will please God. Your doing such deeds will be like] storing treasures in heaven [MET]. [Nothing perishes in heaven]. In heaven no termites ruin [things], nothing rusts, and thieves do not enter buildings and steal.
21 Waayo, meesha maalkaagu ku jiro, meeshaasaa qalbigaaguna ku jiri doonaa.
[Remember that] the things [that you think are the most] valuable are [the things that] you will be constantly concerned about [MET]. [So if you want to be storing treasures in heaven], you [need to be] constantly thinking [about God and heaven], [instead of your earthly possessions].”
22 Ilayska jidhku waa isha; haddaba haddii ishaadu hagaagsan tahay, jidhkaaga oo dhammi waa iftiimi doonaa.
“Your eyes are [like] a lamp [MET] for your body, because they enable you to see things. So if your eyes are healthy, you are able to see everything well [MET]. [Similarly, if you are generous with your money and other possessions, you will be able to know much of what God wants you to know] [MET].
23 Laakiin ishaadu hadday xun tahay, jidhkaaga oo dhammi gudcur buu ahaan doonaa. Haddaba iftiinka kugu jira hadduu gudcur yahay, gudcurkaasu sidee buu u weyn yahay!
But if your eyes are bad, you are not able to see things well. And if that continues, the time will come when you will not be able to see at all. You will be in complete darkness [MET]. [Similarly, if you continue to be greedy, you will be in spiritual darkness. If all that your eyes can see and your mind can think about involves your greedily desiring material possessions, all that you do will be evil] [MET].”
24 Ninna laba sayid uma shaqayn karo, waayo, mid buu nacayaa, kan kalena wuu jeclaanayaa, ama mid buu la jirayaa, kan kalena wuu quudhsanayaa. Uma wada shaqayn kartaan Ilaah iyo maal.
“No one is able to serve two [different] bosses [at the same time]. If [he tried to do that], he would dislike one of them and love the other one, or he would be loyal to one of them and despise the other one [DOU]. [Similarly], you cannot [devote your life to] worshipping God and [worshipping] money and material goods [at the same time].”
25 Sidaa darteed waxaan idinku leeyahay, Ha ugu welwelina naftiinna waxaad cuni doontaan, iyo waxaad cabbi doontaan, jidhkiinnana ha ugu welwelina waxaad u huwan doontaan. Naftu miyaanay ka roonayn cuntada, jidhkuna miyaanu ka roonayn dharka?
“Because [you should be concerned about what God thinks is important and not about material goods, I] tell you that you should not worry about [things that you need in order to] live. [Do not worry] about whether you will have [enough food] to eat, and [something] to drink, or [enough] clothes to wear. It is important to have [sufficient] food [and drink] and clothing, but the way you conduct your lives is much more important [RHQ].
26 Shimbirraha cirka eega, waayo, waxba ma beeraan, waxna ma gurtaan, maqsinnona waxba kuma urursadaan, oo Aabbihiinna jannada ku jira ayaa cunto siiya. Idinku miyaydnaan ka roonayn?
Look at the birds. They do not plant [seeds, and they do not] harvest [crops] and gather them into barns. [But they always have food to eat because God], your Father who is in heaven, provides food for them. And you are certainly worth a lot more than birds [RHQ]! [So you can be assured that God will supply what you need!]
27 Midkiinnee intuu welwelo dhererkiisa dhudhun ku dari kara?
(None of you can, just by worrying, [add time to your life]./Can any of you, just by worrying, [add time to your life]?) [RHQ] [You cannot] add [even] one minute to your life! [So you should not worry about things such as food and clothing!]
28 Maxaad dharka ugu welweshaan? Fiiriya ubaxyada duurka siday u baxaan, ma ay shaqeeyaan, ma ayna miiqdaan.
You should also not worry about [whether you will have enough] clothes [to wear] [RHQ]. Think about the way flowers [grow] in the fields. They do not work [to earn money], and they do not make their own clothes.
29 Weliba waxaan idinku leeyahay, Xataa Sulaymaan wakhtigii ammaantiisa oo dhan dhar uma uu gashan jirin sida kuwan midkood.
But I tell you that even though [King] Solomon, who [lived long ago], [wore very beautiful clothes], his clothes were not as beautiful as one of those [flowers].
30 Laakiin haddii Ilaah sidaa u huwiyo cawska maanta duurka ku yaal oo berrito moofada lagu ridayo, sidee ka badan ayuu idiin huwinayaa, rumaysadyarayaalow?
God makes the wild plants very beautiful, [but they grow] in the field [for only a short time]. One day they grow, and the next day they are thrown into an oven {someone [cuts them and] throws them into an oven} [to be burned to make heat for baking bread. But you are more important to God than wild plants are, and you live much longer]. So (God will certainly provide clothes for you who [live a long time but] trust him so little!/will not God surely very adequately clothe you, [who live a long time but] trust him so little?) [RHQ]
31 Sidaa darteed ha ku welwelina, idinkoo leh, Maxaannu cunaynaa? ama, Maxaannu cabbaynaa? ama, Maxaannu huwanaynaa?
Because of God’s caring for you, do not worry and say, ‘Will we have anything to eat?’ or ‘Will we have anything to drink?’ or ‘Will we have clothes to wear?’ [RHQ]
32 Waayo, quruumuhu waxaas oo dhan ayay doondoonaan. Aabbihiinna jannada ku jiraa waa og yahay inaad waxaas oo dhan u baahan tihiin.
Those who do not know God are always worrying about things like that. But God, your Father who is in heaven, knows that you need all those things, [so you should not worry about them].
33 Laakiin horta doondoona boqortooyadii Ilaah iyo xaqnimadiisa, oo waxaas oo dhan waa laydinku dari doonaa.
Instead, the most important thing you should be concerned about is to let [God] completely direct your life, and to strive [to live] righteously. [If you do that], all the things that you [need] will be given to you {God will give you all the things [that you need]}.
34 Sidaa darteed berrito ha ka welwelina, waayo, berrito iyadaa isu welwelaysa. Maalinta sharkeedu waa ku filan yahay.
So [each day] do not be worried about what will happen to you the next day, because [when] that day [PRS] comes, [you] will be concerned about [what happens during] that day. You will have enough to be concerned about each day. [So do not worry ahead of time].”
