Jesus ma hongo ovyotjari
1 “Ṱakamiseye nawa kutja amu ha tjiti ko ovyotjari vyeṋu komurungu wovandu, kokutja owo ve mune imbi mbi mamu tjiti. Tji mwa tjiti nao komurungu wovandu, Iho ngu ri meyuru kameemu pe ondjambi.
2 “Nu tji mo yandja otjiṋa komusyona, o yandja ovandu amave ku munu tjimuna ovanatjavivi tji ve tjita mozosinagoge na momivanda. Owo ve tjitira kutja ovandu ve ve tange. Tjiri, me mu raere, ondjambi yawo ve i pewa rukuru. 3 Nungwari tji mo vatere omusyona, tjita kutja nangarire epanga roye katjotjiri ari ha tjiwa otjiṋa ho, 4 kokutja ovyotjari vyoye vi kare mohamunika. Nu Iho ngu muna imbi mbi u tjita mohamunika ongu me ku sutu ondjambi yoye.
Jesus ma hongo omuhingo wokukumba
(Lk 11:2-4)5 “Nu aruhe tji mamu kumbu, amu kara otja ovanatjavivi! Owo va suvera okukurama mozosinagoge na pomahakaeneno womivanda amave kumbu, kokutja avehe ve ve mune. Tjiri, me mu raere, ondjambi yawo ve i pewa rukuru. 6 Nungwari ove tji mo kumbu, kahite metuwo roye u pate omuvero nu u kumbe ku Iho ngu ha munika. Nu Iho ngu muna imbi mbi u tjita mohamunika, ongu me ku sutu ondjambi yoye.
7 “Tji mamu kumbu, amu hungire omambo omengi womungandjo tjimuna imba mbe he ri Ovajuda tji ve tjita. Owo ve tjangovasi Ndjambi meve zuvire, ozongumbiro zawo tjinga aze ri ozonde. 8 Amu sana na wo. Iho ma tjiwa rukuru imbi mbi mwa hepa ngunda amu hiye mu ningira. 9 Nopu mwa sokukumba nai:
‘Tate yetu ngu u ri meyuru:
Ena roye nga ri yapurwe;
10 ouhona woye ngau ye;
ombango yoye ngai tjitwe
kombanda yehi otja tji i tjitwa meyuru.
11 Omboroto yetu yeyuva arihe tu pao ndino.
12 Nu tu isira ozondjo zetu,
otja eṱe tji tu isira ovanazondjo na eṱe.
13 Nu o tu hitisa momarorero,
nungwari tukutura kouvi.’
14 “Tji mamu isire ovakweṋu ouvi mbu va tjiti ku eṋe, Iho ngu ri meyuru wina me mu isire. 15 Nungwari tji mu hi nokuisira ovakweṋu, Iho kemee mu isire ko ouvi mbu mwa tjita.
Jesus ma hongo omeritjaerero kovikurya
16 “Nu tji mamu ritjaere kovikurya amu kara nomirungu vyondjenda otja ovanatjavivi tji ve tjita. Owo ve tivaurisa omirungu vyawo, ovandu avehe ve ve mune kutja mave ritjaere kovikurya. Tjiri, me mu raere, ondjambi yawo ve i pewa rukuru. 17 Tji mo ritjaere kovikurya, rikamura ozondjise zoye nawa, nu u kohe omurungu woye, 18 kokutja ovakweṋu ave ha tjiwa kutja mo ritjaere kovikurya, nungwari Iho porwe ngu ha munika ongumatjiwa. Nu Iho ngu muna imbi mbi u tjita mohamunika ongu me ku sutu ondjambi yoye.
Outumbe meyuru
(Lk 12:33-34)19 “Amu ri wongere outumbe kombanda yehi; owo mau riwa i omatoto, au nyonwa i omureru namu taurire omarunga okuvaka. 20 Nungwari ri pahereye outumbe meyuru omatoto ku ye ha ri, omureru ku u ha nyono, nomarunga ku ye ha taurire mo okuvaka. 21 Orondu imba pu pe noutumbe weṋu aruhe opu mape kara omitima vyeṋu wina.
Ondjerera yorutu
(Lk 11:34-36)22 “Eho oro emunine rorutu. Eho roye tji ri ri ewa, orutu rwoye aruhe maru kara mondjerera. 23 Nungwari eho roye tji ri ri evi, orutu rwoye aruhe wina maru kara monḓorera. Nondjerera ndji ri move tji ya rire onḓorera, tjiri, ma i rire onḓorera ṱukuṱuku.
Ndjambi nouini
(Lk 16:13Lk 12:22-31)24 “Kape nomukarere ngu ma sora okuungurira ovahona vevari tjimwe; eye ma tondo umwe na suvere ingwi omukwao; nu me riyameke ku umwe na tengurura omukwao. Eṋe kamu nokusora okukarera Ndjambi novimariva tjimwe.
25 “Ami opu me zu okumuraera kutja amu rikendere ominyo vyeṋu kutja mamu ri tjike nu mamu nu tjike, notutu tweṋu kutja mamu zara tjike. Omuinyo kamunanḓengu povikurya are? Nu orutu karu nanḓengu pozombanda are? 26 Tareye kozonḓera zokuti: Ozo kaze kunu nu kaze kondo, nu kaze wongere momatuwo womapwikiro, nungwari Iho meyuru eye ngo u ze hupisa. Neṋe kaweṋe ovananḓengu pozonḓera are? 27 Owaṋi mokati keṋu mokurikendera omuinyo we ngu ma sora okuhupa orure kaṱiṱi?
28 “Mamu rikendere tjike nozombanda? Tareye ozongara zozonyanga mokuti tji ze hapa: Ozo kaze ungura nu kaze yatata ozombanda. 29 Nungwari me mu raere, kutja nangarire ombara Salomo noutumbe we auhe ke na indu wa zarere otja imwe yazo. 30 Nu Ndjambi ngu zareka momuhingo mbwa sana ngo inga omahozu nge ri mokuti ndino nu muhuka aye yumbwa momuriro, ma urwa i tjike okuzarisa eṋe tjinene komeho, vanangamburiro okaṱiṱi?
31 “Opu mu hi nokusokurikendera kutja mamu ri tjike, mamu nu tjike nu mamu zara tjike. 32 Oviṋa mbi avihe imba mbe he ri Ovajuda, ombi ve rikenda na vyo. Nungwari Iho meyuru u tjiwa kutja eṋe mu hepa oviṋa mbi avihe. 33 Rutengatenga paheye ouhona wa Ndjambi na indji ombango ye, neye me mu wezire ko oviṋa mbi avihe. 34 Amu rikende neyuva ramuhuka, oro tjinga ari nomerikendero waro orini. Eyuva ngamwa arihe ri kara nouzeu waro orini.
Giving
1 When you do good deeds, don't try to show off. If you do, you won't get a reward from your Father in heaven.
2 When you give to the poor, don't blow a loud horn. That's what show-offs do in the synagogues and on the street corners, because they are always looking for praise. I can assure you that they already have their reward.
3 When you give to the poor, don't let anyone know about it. 4 Then your gift will be given in secret. Your Father knows what is done in secret and will reward you.
Prayer
(Luke 11.2-4)5 When you pray, don't be like those show-offs who love to stand up and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners. They do this just to look good. I can assure you that they already have their reward.
6 When you pray, go into a room alone and close the door. Pray to your Father in private. He knows what is done in private and will reward you.
7 When you pray, don't talk on and on as people do who don't know God. They think God likes to hear long prayers. 8 Don't be like them. Your Father knows what you need even before you ask.
9 You should pray like this:
Our Father in heaven,
help us to honor
your name.
10 Come and set up
your kingdom,
so that everyone on earth
will obey you,
as you are obeyed
in heaven.
11 Give us our food for today.
12 Forgive us for doing wrong,
as we forgive others.
13 Keep us from being tempted
and protect us from evil.
14 If you forgive others for the wrongs they do to you, your Father in heaven will forgive you. 15 But if you don't forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.
Worshiping God by Going without Eating
16 When you go without eating, don't try to look gloomy as those show-offs do when they go without eating. I can assure you that they already have their reward. 17 Instead, comb your hair and wash your face. 18 Then others won't know you are going without eating. But your Father sees what is done in private, and he will reward you.
Treasures in Heaven
(Luke 12.33Luke 34)19 Don't store up treasures on earth! Moths and rust can destroy them, and thieves can break in and steal them. 20 Instead, store up your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy them, and thieves cannot break in and steal them. 21 Your heart will always be where your treasure is.
Light
(Luke 11.34-36)22 Your eyes are a window for your body. When they are good, you have all the light you need. 23 But when your eyes are bad, everything is dark. If the light inside you is dark, you surely are in the dark.
Money
(Luke 16.13)24 You cannot be the slave of two masters! You will like one more than the other or be more loyal to one than the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
Worry
(Luke 12.22-31)25 I tell you not to worry about your life. Don't worry about having something to eat, drink, or wear. Isn't life more than food or clothing? 26 Look at the birds in the sky! They don't plant or harvest. They don't even store grain in barns. Yet your Father in heaven takes care of them. Aren't you worth much more than birds?
27 Can worry make you live longer? 28 Why worry about clothes? Look how the wild flowers grow. They don't work hard to make their clothes. 29 But I tell you that Solomon with all his wealth wasn't as well clothed as one of them. 30 God gives such beauty to everything that grows in the fields, even though it is here today and thrown into a fire tomorrow. God will surely do even more for you! Why do you have such little faith?
31 Don't worry and ask yourselves, “Will we have anything to eat? Will we have anything to drink? Will we have any clothes to wear?” 32 Only people who don't know God are always worrying about such things. Your Father in heaven knows you need all of these. 33 But more than anything else, put God's work first and do what he wants. Then the other things will be yours as well.
34 Don't worry about tomorrow. It will take care of itself. You have enough to worry about today.
