Matthew 6
1 “Pay attention, lest you perform your justice before men, in order to be seen by them; otherwise you shall not have a reward with your Father, who is in heaven.
“Chenjerai kuti murege kuita ‘mabasa enyu okururama’ pamberi pavanhu kuti muonekwe navo. Kana mukaita saizvozvo, hamuzovi nomubayiro kuna Baba venyu vari kudenga.
2 Therefore, when you give alms, do not choose to sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the towns, so that they may be honored by men. Amen I say to you, they have received their reward.
“Saka kana mopa kuna vanoshaya, musaridza hwamanda sezvinoitwa navanyengeri mumasinagoge nomumigwagwa kuti vakudzwe navanhu. Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti vatowana mubayiro wavo wakazara.
3 But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
Asi kana wopa kuna vanoshaya ruoko rwako rworuboshwe ngarurege kuziva zviri kuitwa noruoko rwako rworudyi,
4 so that your almsgiving may be in secret, and your Father, who sees in secret, will repay you.
kuitira kuti kupa kwako kuve pakavanda. Ipapo Baba vako, vanoona zvinoitwa pakavanda, vachakupa mubayiro.
5 And when you pray, you should not be like the hypocrites, who love standing in the synagogues and at the corners of the streets to pray, so that they may be seen by men. Amen I say to you, they have received their reward.
“Uye pamunonyengetera, musava savanyengeri nokuti vanofarira kunyengetera vamire mumasinagoge napamharadzano dzenzira kuti vaonekwe navanhu. Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti vatowana mubayiro wavo wakazara.
6 But you, when you pray, enter into your room, and having shut the door, pray to your Father in secret, and your Father, who sees in secret, will repay you.
Asi paunonyengetera, pinda mumba mako, ugopfiga musiwo uye ugonyengetera kuna Baba vako avo vasingaonekwi. Ipapo Baba vako avo vanoona zvinoitwa pakavanda, vachakupa mubayiro.
7 And when praying, do not choose many words, as the pagans do. For they think that by their excess of words they might be heeded.
Uye pamunonyengetera, musangoramba muchidzokorora zvimwe chetezvo sezvinoitwa navasingatendi nokuti vanofunga kuti vachanzwikwa nokuda kwamashoko avo mazhinji.
8 Therefore, do not choose to imitate them. For your Father knows what your needs may be, even before you ask him.
Musafanana navo nokuti Baba venyu vanoziva zvamunoshayiwa musati mavakumbira.
9 Therefore, you shall pray in this way: Our Father, who is in heaven: May your name be kept holy.
“Zvino aya ndiwo manyengeterero amunofanira kuita: “‘Baba vedu vari kudenga, zita renyu ngarikudzwe,
10 May your kingdom come. May your will be done, as in heaven, so also on earth.
umambo hwenyu ngahuuye, kuda kwenyu ngakuitwe panyika sezvinoitwa kudenga.
11 Give us this day our life-sustaining bread.
Tipei nhasi chingwa chedu chamazuva namazuva.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.
Tiregererei zvatinokutadzirai, sezvatinoregererawo vanotitadzira isu.
13 And lead us not into temptation. But free us from evil. Amen.
Musatitungamirira mukuedzwa, uye mutinunure kubva kuno wakaipa.’
14 For if you will forgive men their sins, your heavenly Father also will forgive you your offenses.
Nokuti kana mukaregerera vanokutadzirai, Baba venyu vari kudenga vachakuregereraiwo.
15 But if you will not forgive men, neither will your Father forgive you your sins.
Asi kana musingaregereri vamwe zvitadzo zvavo, Baba venyu havazokuregererai zvitadzo zvenyu.
16 And when you fast, do not choose to become gloomy, like the hypocrites. For they alter their faces, so that their fasting may be apparent to men. Amen I say to you, that they have received their reward.
“Pamunotsanya, musaunyanisa zviso sezvinoita vanyengeri nokuti vanounyanisa zviso zvavo kuti vaonekwe navanhu kuti vari kutsanya. Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti vatowana mubayiro wavo wakazara.
17 But as for you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,
Asi pamunotsanya, zorai mafuta mumisoro yenyu uye mugogeza kumeso kwenyu,
18 so that your fasting will not be apparent to men, but to your Father, who is in secret. And your Father, who sees in secret, will repay you.
kuitira kuti zvirege kuonekwa navanhu kuti muri kutsanya, asi zvizivikanwe chete naBaba venyu avo vasingaonekwi. Uye Baba venyu vanoona pakavandika, vachakupai mubayiro.
19 Do not choose to store up for yourselves treasures on earth: where rust and moth consume, and where thieves break in and steal.
“Musazviunganidzira pfuma panyika, pane zvipfukuto nengura zvinoparadza, uye pane mbavha dzinopaza dzichiba.
20 Instead, store up for yourselves treasures in heaven: where neither rust nor moth consumes, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
Asi zviunganidzirei pfuma kudenga uko kusina zvipfukuto nengura zvinoparadza, uye kusina mbavha dzinopaza dzichiba.
21 For where your treasure is, there also is your heart.
Nokuti apo pane pfuma yako ndipo pane mwoyo wakowo.
22 The lamp of your body is your eye. If your eye is wholesome, your entire body will be filled with light.
“Ziso ndiwo mwenje womuviri. Kana maziso ako akanaka, muviri wako wose uchava nechiedza.
23 But if your eye has been corrupted, your entire body will be darkened. If then the light that is in you is darkness, how great will that darkness be!
Asi kana maziso ako akaipa muviri wako wose uchange uzere nerima. Zvino kana chiedza chiri mauri riri rima, richange riri rima rakakura zvakadii!
24 No one is able to serve two masters. For either he will have hatred for the one, and love the other, or he will persevere with the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.
“Hapana angakwanise kushandira vatenzi vaviri. Achavenga mumwe uye agoda mumwe, kana kuti achazvipira kushandira mumwe uye agozvidza mumwe. Haungashandire zvose Mwari neMari.
25 And so I say to you, do not be anxious about your life, as to what you will eat, nor about your body, as to what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
“Naizvozvo ndinokutaurirai kuti, musafunganya nezvoupenyu hwenyu, kuti muchadyei kana kuti muchanwei, kana nezvemiviri kuti muchapfekei. Ko, upenyu hahusi hwakakosha here kudarika zvokudya, nomuviri kudarika nguo?
26 Consider the birds of the air, how they neither sow, nor reap, nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of much greater value than they are?
Tarirai shiri dzinobhururuka, hadzidyari kana kukohwa kana kuisa zvokudya mumatura, asi Baba venyu vari kudenga vanodzipa zvokudya. Imi hamuna kukosha kudzipfuura nokure kwazvo here?
27 And which of you, by thinking, is able to add one cubit to his stature?
Ndiani pakati penyu angawedzera awa imwe chete paupenyu hwake nokuda kwokufunganya?
28 And as for clothing, why are you anxious? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither work nor weave.
“Ko, munofunganyirei pamusoro pezvokupfeka? Tarirai kuti maruva esango anokura sei? Haashandi kana kuruka.
29 But I say to you, that not even Solomon, in all his glory, was arrayed like one of these.
Asi ndinokuudzai kuti kunyange naSoromoni mukubwinya kwake kwose, haana kumboshonga serimwe ramaruva aya.
30 So if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and cast into the oven tomorrow, how much more will he care for you, O little in faith?
Zvino kana Mwari achishongedza saizvozvo uswa hwesango huripo nhasi uye mangwana huchizokandwa mumoto, haangakushongedzei kupfuura izvi here, imi vokutenda kuduku?
31 Therefore, do not choose to be anxious, saying: ‘What shall we eat, and what shall we drink, and with what shall we be clothed?’
Naizvozvo musafunganya muchiti, ‘Tichadyei?’ kana kuti, ‘Tichanwei?’ kana ‘Tichapfekei?’
32 For the Gentiles seek all these things. Yet your Father knows that you need all these things.
Izvi ndizvo zvinoitwa nevedzimwe ndudzi, nokuti Baba venyu vari kudenga vanoziva kuti munoda zvinhu izvi.
33 Therefore, seek first the kingdom of God and his justice, and all these things shall be added to you as well.
Asi tangai kutsvaka umambo hwake nokururama kwake, uye zvinhu zvose izvi zvichapiwawo kwamuri.
34 Therefore, do not be anxious about tomorrow; for the future day will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its evil.”
Naizvozvo musafunganya nezvamangwana nokuti mangwana achazvifunganyira zvawo. Zuva rimwe nerimwe rine nhamo dzaro dzakarikwanira.
