Matthew 7
1 Judge not, that ye may not be judged;
“Usatonga kuti newewo urege kutongwa.
2 for with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged; and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you.
Nokuti nzira yaunotonga nayo vamwe ndiyo yauchatongwa nayo, uye chiero chaunoshandisa ndicho chichashandiswa kwauri.
3 But why lookest thou on the mote that is in the eye of thy brother, but observest not the beam that is in thine eye?
“Unotarisirei kabanzu kari muziso rehama yako, asi usina hanya nepuranga riri muziso rako?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Allow [me], I will cast out the mote from thine eye; and behold, the beam is in thine eye?
Ungati sei kuhama yako, ‘Rega ndibvise kabanzu kari muziso rako,’ asi iwe nguva dzose uine puranga riri muziso rako?
5 Hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine eye, and then thou wilt see clearly to cast out the mote out of the eye of thy brother.
Iwe munyengeri, tanga wabvisa puranga riri muziso rako, ipapo unozoona zvakanaka kuti ukwanise kubvisa kabanzu kari muziso rehama yako.
6 Give not that which is holy to the dogs, nor cast your pearls before the swine, lest they trample them with their feet, and turning round rend you.
“Musapa imbwa zvinhu zvitsvene, uye musakanda maparera enyu kunguruve. Kana mukadaro, dzinogona kuatsika-tsika pasi petsoka, uye ipapo dzikazokutendeukirai dzokubvambura-bvamburai.
7 Ask, and it shall be given to you. Seek, and ye shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened to you.
“Kumbirai mugopiwa, tsvakai mugowana, gogodzai mugozarurirwa.
8 For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened.
Nokuti munhu wose anokumbira anopiwa, anotsvaka anowana; uye anogogodza anozarurirwa musiwo.
9 Or what man is there of you who, if his son shall ask of him a loaf of bread, will give him a stone;
“Ndiani pakati penyu angati kana mwanakomana wake akamukumbira chingwa, omupa ibwe?
10 and if he ask a fish, will give him a serpent?
Kana kuti akakumbira hove iye omupa nyoka?
11 If therefore ye, being wicked, know [how] to give good gifts to your children, how much rather shall your Father who is in the heavens give good things to them that ask of him?
Zvino imi, kunyange zvenyu makaipa, muchiziva kupa zvipo zvakanaka kuvana venyu, Baba venyu vari kudenga vachapa zvipo zvakanaka sei kuna avo vanokumbira!
12 Therefore all things whatever ye desire that men should do to you, thus do ye also do to them; for this is the law and the prophets.
Saka muzvinhu zvose itirai vamwe zvamunoda kuti vakuitirei imi, nokuti izvi ndizvo Murayiro naVaprofita.
13 Enter in through the narrow gate, for wide the gate and broad the way that leads to destruction, and many are they who enter in through it.
“Pindai napasuo rakamanikana nokuti suo rakafara nenzira yakapamhama zvinotungamirira kukuparadzwa, uye vazhinji vanopinda naro.
14 For narrow the gate and straitened the way that leads to life, and they are few who find it.
Asi suo duku nenzira yakamanikana ndizvo zvinotungamirira kuupenyu, uye vashoma chete, ndivo vanozviwana.
15 But beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but within are ravening wolves.
“Chenjererai vaprofita venhema, vanouya kwamuri vakapfeka matehwe emakwai asi mukati mavo vari mapere anoparadza.
16 By their fruits ye shall know them. Do [men] gather a bunch of grapes from thorns, or from thistles figs?
Muchavaziva nemichero yavo. Vanhu vanganhonga mazambiringa pamuti weminzwa here, kana maonde parukato?
17 So every good tree produces good fruits, but the worthless tree produces bad fruits.
Saizvozvo muti wose wakanaka unobereka michero yakanaka, muti wakaipa unobereka michero yakaipa.
18 A good tree cannot produce bad fruits, nor a worthless tree produce good fruits.
Muti wakanaka haungabereki michero yakaipa, nemuti wakaipa haungabereki michero yakanaka.
19 Every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire.
Muti wose usingabereki michero yakanaka unotemwa uye ugokandwa mumoto.
20 By their fruits then surely ye shall know them.
Naizvozvo muchavaziva nemichero yavo.
21 Not every one who says to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but he that does the will of my Father who is in the heavens.
“Havasi vose vanoti kwandiri, ‘Ishe, Ishe’ vachapinda muushe hwokudenga, asi uyo chete anoita kuda kwaBaba vangu vari kudenga.
22 Many shall say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied through thy name, and through thy name cast out demons, and through thy name done many works of power?
Vazhinji pazuva iro vachati kwandiri, ‘Ishe, Ishe, ko, hatina kuprofita muzita renyuwo here, uye muzita renyu tikadzinga madhimoni, tikaita zvishamiso?’
23 and then will I avow unto them, I never knew you. Depart from me, workers of lawlessness.
Ipapo ndichavaudza pachena kuti, ‘Handina kutombokuzivai. Ibvai zvenyu pandiri, imi vaiti vezvakaipa!’
24 Whoever therefore hears these my words and does them, I will liken him to a prudent man, who built his house upon the rock;
“Naizvozvo munhu anonzwa mashoko angu aya, uye akaaita, akafanana nemurume akachenjera uyo akavaka imba yake paruware.
25 and the rain came down, and the streams came, and the winds blew and fell upon that house, and it did not fall, for it had been founded upon the rock.
Mvura yakanaya, nzizi dzikazara, uye dutu remhepo rakauya rikarova imba iya, asi haina kuputsika, nokuti hwaro hwayo hwaiva paruware.
26 And every one who hears these my words and does not do them, he shall be likened to a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand;
Asi munhu wose anonzwa mashoko angu aya akasaaita, akafanana nomurume benzi akavakira imba yake mujecha.
27 and the rain came down, and the streams came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house, and it fell, and its fall was great.
Mvura yakanaya, nzizi dzikazara, uye dutu remhepo rakauya rikarova imba iya ikawa nokuwa kukuru.”
28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these words, the crowds were astonished at his doctrine,
Jesu akati apedza kutaura zvinhu izvi vazhinji vaivapo vakashamiswa nokudzidzisa kwake,
29 for he taught them as having authority, and not as their scribes.
nokuti akadzidzisa somurume aiva nesimba kwete samadzidzisiro aiitwa navadzidzisi vavo vomurayiro.
