Mathayo 6
Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1“Jihadharini msije mkafanya matendo yenu mema mbele ya watu kusudi mwonekane nao. La sivyo, Baba yenu aliye mbinguni hatawapeni tuzo.
1Take heed that you do not your justice before men, to be seen by them: otherwise you shall not have a reward of your Father who is in heaven.
2“Basi, unapomsaidia maskini, usijitangaze. Usifanye kama wanafiki wafanyavyo katika masunagogi na njiani ili watu wawasifu. Kweli nawaambieni, hao wamekwisha pata tuzo lao.
2Therefore when thou dost an almsdeed, sound not a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be honoured by men. Amen I say to you, they have received their reward.
3Lakini wewe unapomsaidia maskini, fanya hivyo kwamba hata rafiki yako asijue ufanyalo.
3But when thou dost alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doth.
4Toa msaada wako kwa siri, na Baba yako aonaye yaliyofichika, atakutuza.
4That thy alms may be in secret, and thy Father who seeth in secret will repay thee.
5“Mnaposali, msifanye kama wanafiki. Wao hupenda kusimama na kusali katika masunagogi na katika pembe za njia ili watu wawaone. Kweli nawaambieni, hao wamekwisha pata tuzo lao.
5And when ye pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, that love to stand and pray in the synagogues and corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men: Amen I say to you, they have received their reward.
6Lakini wewe unaposali, ingia chumbani mwako, funga mlango, kisha umwombe Baba yako asiyeonekana. Naye Baba yako aonaye yaliyofichika, atakutuza.
6But thou when thou shalt pray, enter into thy chamber, and having shut the door, pray to thy Father in secret: and thy Father who seeth in secret will repay thee.
7“Mnaposali, msipayuke maneno kama watu wasiomjua Mungu. Wao hudhani kwamba Mungu atawasikiliza ati kwa sababu ya maneno mengi.
7And when you are praying, speak not much, as the heathens. For they think that in their much speaking they may be heard.
8Msiwe kama wao. Baba yenu anajua mnayoyahitaji hata kabla ya kumwomba.
8Be not you therefore like to them, for your Father knoweth what is needful for you, before you ask him.
9Basi, hivi ndivyo mnavyopaswa kusali: Baba yetu uliye mbinguni: Jina lako litukuzwe.
9Thus therefore shall you pray: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
10Ufalme wako ufike. Utakalo lifanyike duniani kama mbinguni.
10Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
11Utupe leo chakula chetu tunachohitaji.
11Give us this day our supersubstantial bread.
12Utusamehe makosa yetu, kama nasi tunavyowasamehe waliotukosea.
12And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.
13Usitutie katika majaribu, lakini utuokoe na yule Mwovu. is Baadhi ya makala za zamani zina; Kwa kuwa ufalme ni wako, na nguvu, na utukufu, hata milele. Amina.
13And lead us not into temptation. But deliver us from evil. Amen.
14“Maana mkiwasamehe watu makosa yao, Baba yenu wa mbinguni atawasamehe ninyi pia.
14For if you will forgive men their offences, your heavenly Father will forgive you also your offences.
15Lakini msipowasamehe watu makosa yao, naye Baba yenu hatawasamehe ninyi makosa yenu.
15But if you will not forgive men, neither will your Father forgive you your offences.
16“Mnapofunga, msiwe na huzuni kama wanafiki. Wao hukunja nyuso zao wapate kuonekana na watu kuwa wanafunga. Nawaambieni hakika, hao wamekwisha pata tuzo lao.
16And when you fast, be not as the hypocrites, sad. For they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Amen I say to you, they have received their reward.
17Wewe lakini unapofunga, paka kichwa chako mafuta, nawa uso wako,
17But thou, when thou fastest anoint thy head, and wash thy face;
18ili mtu yeyote asijue kwamba unafunga, ila ujulikane tu kwa Baba yako asiyeonekana. Naye Baba yako aonaye yaliyofichika atakutuza.
18That thou appear not to men to fast, but to thy Father who is in secret: and thy Father who seeth in secret, will repay thee.
19“Msijiwekee hazina hapa duniani ambako nondo na kutu huharibu, na wezi huingia na kuiba.
19Lay not up to yourselves treasures on earth: where the rust, and moth consume, and where thieves break through and steal.
20Jiwekeeni hazina mbinguni ambako nondo na kutu hawawezi kuiharibu, wala wezi hawaingii wakaiba.
20But lay up to yourselves treasures in heaven: where neither the rust nor moth doth consume, and where thieves do not break through, nor steal.
21Maana pale ilipo hazina yako, ndipo pia utakapokuwa moyo wako.
21For where thy treasure is, there is thy heart also.
22“Jicho ni taa ya mwili. Kama jicho lako ni zima, mwili wako wote utakuwa katika mwanga.
22The light of thy body is thy eye. If thy eye be single, thy whole body shall be lightsome.
23Lakini ikiwa jicho lako ni bovu, mwili wako wote utakuwa katika giza. Basi, ikiwa mwanga ulioko ndani yako ni giza, basi, hilo ni giza la kutisha mno.
23But if thy eye be evil thy whole body shall be darksome. If then the light that is in thee, be darkness: the darkness itself how great shall it be!
24“Hakuna mtu awezaye kutumikia mabwana wawili. Maana atamchukia mmoja na kumpenda huyo wa pili; au ataambatana na mmoja na kumdharau huyo mwingine. Hamwezi kumtumikia Mungu na mali pamoja.
24No man can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one, and love the other: or he will sustain the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
25“Ndiyo maana nawaambieni, msiwe na wasiwasi juu ya chakula na kinywaji mnavyohitaji ili kuishi, wala juu ya mavazi mnayohitaji kwa ajili ya miili yenu. Je, maisha ni chakula tu au zaidi? Na mwili, je, si zaidi ya mavazi?
25Therefore I say to you, be not solicitous for your life, what you shall eat, nor for your body, what you shall put on. Is not the life more than the meat: and the body more than the raiment?
26Waangalieni ndege wa mwituni: hawapandi, hawavuni, wala hawana ghala yoyoye. Hata hivyo, Baba yenu wa mbinguni huwalisha. Je, ninyi si wa thamani kuliko hao?
26Behold the birds of the air, for they neither sow, nor do they reap, nor gather into barns: and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not you of much more value than they?
27Ni nani miongoni mwenu kwa kuwa na wasiwasi sana anaweza kuuongeza muda wa maisha yake?
27And which of you by taking thought, can add to his stature by one cubit?
28“Na kuhusu mavazi, ya nini kuwa na wasiwasi? Tazameni maua ya porini jinsi yanavyostawi. Hayafanyi kazi wala hayasokoti.
28And for raiment why are you solicitous? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they labour not, neither do they spin.
29Lakini nawaambieni, hata Solomoni mwenyewe na fahari zake zote hakupata kuvikwa vizuri kama ua mojawapo.
29But I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these.
30Ikiwa basi Mungu hulivika hivyo jani la shambani ambalo leo liko na kesho latupwa motoni, je, hatafanya zaidi kwenu ninyi? Enyi watu wenye imani haba!
30And if the grass of the field, which is today, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, God doth so clothe: how much more you, O ye of little faith?
31“Basi, msiwe na wasiwasi: Tutakula nini, tutakunywa nini, tutavaa nini!
31Be not solicitous therefore, saying, What shall we eat: or what shall we drink, or wherewith shall we be clothed?
32Maana hayo yote yanahangaikiwa na watu wasiomjua Mungu. Baba yenu wa mbinguni anajua kwamba mnahitaji vitu hivyo vyote.
32For after all these things do the heathens seek. For your Father knoweth that you have need of all these things.
33Bali, zingatieni kwanza Ufalme wa Mungu na matakwa yake, na hayo mengine yote mtapewa kwa ziada.
33Seek ye therefore first the kingdom of God, and his justice, and all these things shall be added unto you.
34Basi, msiwe na wasiwasi juu ya kesho; kesho inayo yake. Matatizo ya siku moja yanawatosheni kwa siku hiyo.
34Be not therefore solicitous for tomorrow; for the morrow will be solicitous for itself. Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof.
