¹Take heed not to do your alms before men to be seen of them, otherwise ye have no reward with your Father who is in the heavens.

¹ Wa haggoy araŋ ma s'araŋ adilitaray te borey jine, zama i ma di se. Zama da yaadin no, kulu araŋ sinda alhakku fo araŋ Baabo kaŋ go beena ra do.

²When therefore thou doest alms, sound not a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may have glory from men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

² Waati kaŋ ni ga sargay* sarga mo, ma s'a fe, sanda mate kaŋ cine munaficey ga te i diina marga fuwey ra, da fondey gaa, zama borey ma di ngey k'i beerandi. Haciika ay ga ci araŋ se, i alhakko mo nooya.

³But thou, when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand does;

³ Amma waati kaŋ ni ga sarga, ma si naŋ ni kambe wow ma bay haŋ kaŋ no ni kambe ŋwaaro goono ga te,

⁴so that thine alms may be in secret, and thy Father who sees in secret will render [it] to thee.

⁴ zama ni sarga ma ciya tuguyaŋ ra. Ni Baabo mo kaŋ goono ga di tuguyaŋ ra ga ni bana.

⁵And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites; for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets so that they should appear to men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

⁵ Waati kaŋ araŋ ga adduwa te mo, araŋ ma si te sanda mate kaŋ cine munaficey ga te, zama i ga ba ngey ma kay ka adduwa te i diina marga fuwey ra da fondey boŋ, zama borey ma di ngey. Cimi no ay ga ci araŋ se, i alhakko mo nooya.

⁶But *thou*, when thou prayest, enter into thy chamber, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret, and thy Father who sees in secret will render [it] to thee.

⁶ Amma nin, waati kaŋ ni ga te adduwa, ma furo ni fu-izo ra ka meyo daabu. Ma ni adduwa te ni Baabo kaŋ go tugante gaa. Ni Baabo kaŋ go tugante mo ga ni bana.

⁷But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as those who are of the nations: for they think they shall be heard through their much speaking.

⁷ Amma waati kaŋ araŋ ga adduwa te, wa s'a te da ci-ka-yaara boobo, danga mate kaŋ cine dumi cindey ga te. Zama i ga tammahã hala ngey sanni booba gaa no Irikoy ga maa ngey se.

⁸Be not ye therefore like them, for your Father knows of what things ye have need before ye beg [anything] of him.

⁸ Araŋ ma si ciya sanda i cine bo. Zama araŋ Baabo ga bay hari kaŋ araŋ ga ba, za araŋ man'a ŋwaaray.

⁹Thus therefore pray *ye*: Our Father who art in the heavens, let thy name be sanctified,

⁹ Woodin se binde, d'araŋ ga te adduwa, araŋ ma ne: Ya iri Baabo kaŋ go beena ra, Ni maa ma ciya ihanna.

¹⁰let thy kingdom come, let thy will be done as in heaven so upon the earth;

¹⁰ Ni koytara ma kaa. Mate kaŋ cine i ga ni miila te beena ra, I m'a te neewo mo ndunnya ra.

¹¹give us to-day our needed bread,

¹¹ M'iri no hunkuna ŋwaari,

¹²and forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors,

¹² M'iri garaw-garawey yaafa iri se, Sanda mate kaŋ cine iri mo g'iri garawkooney yaafa nd'a.

¹³and lead us not into temptation, but save us from evil.

¹³ Ma si konda iri siyaŋ do, Amma m'iri faaba k'iri wa da Izefuto. Zama koytaray da dabari nda darza, Ni wane yaŋ no hal abada abadin. Amin.

¹⁴For if ye forgive men their offences, your heavenly Father also will forgive you [yours],

¹⁴ Zama d'araŋ ga borey yaafa nda ngey taaley, yaadin gaa no araŋ Baabo kaŋ go beena ra mo g'araŋ yaafa nd'araŋ taaley.

¹⁵but if ye do not forgive men their offences, neither will your Father forgive your offences.

¹⁵ Amma d'araŋ si borey taaley yaafa i se, araŋ Baabo kaŋ go beena ra mo si araŋ yaafa nd'araŋ taaley.

¹⁶And when ye fast, be not as the hypocrites, downcast in countenance; for they disfigure their faces, so that they may appear fasting to men: verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

¹⁶ Waati kaŋ araŋ ga mehaw mo, araŋ ma si mo-kura haw, sanda mate kaŋ cine munaficey ga te. Zama i ga ngey moydumey hasara no, zama borey ma di kaŋ ngey goono ga mehaw. Cimi no ay ga ci araŋ se: i alhakko mo nooya.

¹⁷But *thou*, [when] fasting, anoint thy head and wash thy face,

¹⁷ Amma nin, waati kaŋ ni ga mehaw, ma ji tuusu ni boŋo gaa, ma ni moyduma nyun,

¹⁸so that thou mayest not appear fasting unto men, but to thy Father who is in secret; and thy Father who sees in secret shall render [it] to thee.

¹⁸ zama ni ma si bangay borey gaa kaŋ ni goono ga mehaw, kala ni Baabo se hinne kaŋ go tuguyaŋ ra. A ga di. Ni Baabo kaŋ go tuguyaŋ ra mo ga ni bana.

¹⁹Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust spoils, and where thieves dig through and steal;

¹⁹ Araŋ ma si arzaka margu araŋ boŋ se ne ndunnya ra, naŋ kaŋ kollo nda haŋ kaŋ ga guuru hayandi ga ŋwa, naŋ kaŋ zay mo ga fun ka zay.

²⁰but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust spoils, and where thieves do not dig through nor steal;

²⁰ Amma araŋ ma arzaka margu araŋ boŋ se beena ra, nangu kaŋ kollo nda haŋ kaŋ ga guuru hayandi s'a ŋwa, nangu kaŋ zay mo si hin ka fun ka zay.

²¹for where thy treasure is, there will be also thy heart.

²¹ Zama nango kaŋ ni arzaka go, noodin no ni bina mo ga bara.

²²The lamp of the body is the eye; if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body will be light:

²² Gaaham fitilla ga ti mo. Da ni mwa ga boori, ni gaahamo kulu mo ga to da kaari.

²³but if thine eye be wicked, thy whole body will be dark. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great the darkness!

²³ Amma da ni mwa gonda laru, kala ni gaahamo kulu ma to da kubay. Da binde, kaaro kaŋ go ni do din ya kubay no, man gaa kuba din himandi!

²⁴No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and will love the other, or he will hold to the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

²⁴ Boro kulu si hin ka may koy hinka se. Kal a ma wangu afa, ka ba afa, wala a ma mo ye afa gaa, ka donda afa. Araŋ si hin ka may Irikoy da arzaka se care banda.

²⁵For this cause I say unto you, Do not be careful about your life, what ye should eat and what ye should drink; nor for your body what ye should put on. Is not the life more than food, and the body than raiment?

²⁵ Woodin se no ay ga ne araŋ se: araŋ ma si karhã araŋ fundey se, haŋ kaŋ araŋ ga ŋwa, wala haŋ kaŋ araŋ ga haŋ, wala araŋ gaahamey se, haŋ kaŋ araŋ ga bankaaray d'a. Fundi mana bisa ŋwaari no, wala gaaham mana bisa bankaaray no?

²⁶Look at the birds of the heaven, that they sow not, nor reap, nor gather into granaries, and your heavenly Father nourishes them. Are *ye* not much more excellent than they?

²⁶ Wa guna beene curey. I siino ga duma, i siino ga wi, i siino ga margu barma ra mo. Amma araŋ Baabo kaŋ go beena ra no g'i ŋwaayandi. Araŋ mana bisa curey beeray gumo no?

²⁷But which of you by carefulness can add to his growth one cubit?

²⁷ Woodin banda, may no araŋ ra kaŋ nga boŋ karhã do ga hin ka baa kambe kar folloŋ tonton nga kuuyaŋo gaa?

²⁸And why are ye careful about clothing? Observe with attention the lilies of the field, how they grow: they toil not, neither do they spin;

²⁸ Bankaaray ciine ra mo, ifo se no araŋ ga karhã? Wa saajo ra waaliya bokey guna, beeray kaŋ cine i ga te. I si ga taabi, i siino ga silli bi.

²⁹but I say unto you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed as one of these.

²⁹ Kulu nda yaadin, ay ga ne araŋ se: baa Suleymanu nda nga darza kulu mana sutura ka to i afo cine.

³⁰But if God so clothe the herbage of the field, which is to-day, and to-morrow is cast into [the] oven, will he not much rather you, O [ye] of little faith?

³⁰ Amma da Irikoy ga saajo ra subu bankaara yaadin cine, kaŋ hunkuna a go no, amma suba i g'a catu danji ra, sanku fa araŋ, cimbeeri* kayna koyey?

³¹Be not therefore careful, saying, What shall we eat? or What shall we drink? or What shall we put on?

³¹ Araŋ ma si karhã ka ne: ‹Ifo no iri ga ŋwa?› wala: ‹Ifo no iri ga haŋ?› wala: ‹Ifo no iri ga bankaaray d'a?›

³²for all these things the nations seek after; for your heavenly Father knows that ye have need of all these things.

³² Amma woone yaŋ kulu no dumi cindey goono ga ceeci. Araŋ Baabo kaŋ go beene ga bay araŋ ga laami nda hayey din kulu.

³³But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.

³³ Day wa jin ka Irikoy* koytara d'a adilitara ceeci jina, nga mo ga hayey din kulu tonton araŋ se.

³⁴Be not careful therefore for the morrow, for the morrow shall be careful about itself. Sufficient to the day [is] its own evil.

³⁴ Araŋ ma si karhã suba se mo, zama suba bumbo ga karhã nga boŋ se. Zaari fo taabi waas'a se.
