Matthew 5
1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain, and when he was set down, his disciples came unto him.
Zvino akati aona vanhu vazhinji, akakwira mugomo uye akagara pasi. Vadzidzi vake vakauya kwaari,
2 And opening his mouth, he taught them, saying:
uye akatanga kuvadzidzisa achiti:
3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
“Vakaropafadzwa varombo pamweya, nokuti umambo hwokudenga ndohwavo.
4 Blessed are the meek: for they shall possess the land.
Vakaropafadzwa vanochema nokuti vachanyaradzwa.
5 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Vakaropafadzwa vanyoro nokuti vachagara nhaka yenyika.
6 Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall have their fill.
Vakaropafadzwa avo vane nzara nenyota yokuita zvakarurama nokuti vachagutswa kwazvo.
7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
Vakaropafadzwa vane tsitsi nokuti naivowo vachaitirwa tsitsi.
8 Blessed are the clean of heart: for they shall see God.
Vakaropafadzwa vakachena pamwoyo, nokuti vachaona Mwari.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called children of God.
Vakaropafadzwa vanoyananisa nokuti vachanzi vana vaMwari.
10 Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Vakaropafadzwa vanotambudzwa nokuda kwokururama nokuti umambo hwokudenga ndohwavo.
11 Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that is evil against you, untruly, for my sake:
“Makaropafadzwa imi kana vanhu vachikutukai, vachikutambudzai uye vachikupomerai zvakaipa zvose nokuda kwangu.
12 Be glad and rejoice, for your reward is very great in heaven. For so they persecuted the prophets that were before you.
Farai mufarisise kwazvo nokuti mubayiro wenyu mukuru kudenga, nokuti nenzira imwe cheteyo vakatambudza vaprofita vakakutangirai.
13 You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt lose its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is good for nothing any more but to be cast out, and to be trodden on by men.
“Imi muri munyu wenyika. Asi kana munyu usisavavi ungavaviswe nei? Hauchabatsiri chinhu, kunze kwokuti uraswe ugotsikwa zvawo navanhu.
14 You are the light of the world. A city seated on a mountain cannot be hid.
“Imi muri chiedza chenyika. Guta riri pamusoro pegomo haringavanziki.
15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but upon a candlestick, that it may shine to all that are in the house.
Uye vanhu havangatungidzi mwenje vagouisa pasi pedengu. Asi kutoti vanouisa pachigadziko kuti uvhenekere vose vari mumba.
16 So let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
Nenzira imwe cheteyo, chiedza chenyu ngachivhenekere pamberi pavanhu kuti vaone mabasa enyu akanaka, vagokudza Baba venyu vari kudenga.
17 Do not think that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets. I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
“Musafunga kuti ndakauya kuzoparadza Murayiro kana Vaprofita; handina kuuya kuzozviparadza asi kuzozvizadzisa.
18 For amen I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot, or one tittle shall not pass of the law, till all be fulfilled.
Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, kuti kusvikira denga nenyika zvapfuura, hakuna vara duku sei kana chimwe chinhu chiduku sei chichabviswa paMurayiro, kusvikira zvose zvazadziswa.
19 He therefore that shall break one of these least commandments, and shall so teach men, shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. But he that shall do and teach, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Asi ani naani anotyora mumwe chete wemirayiro miduku iyi uye achizodzidzisawo vamwe kuita zvimwe chetezvo achanzi muduku muumambo hwokudenga. Asi ani naani anochengeta uye anodzidzisa mirayiro iyi, achanzi mukuru muumambo hwokudenga.
20 For I tell you, that unless your justice abound more than that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Nokuti ndinokuudzai zvirokwazvo kuti kana kururama kwenyu kukasapfuura kwavaFarisi nokwavadzidzisi vemirayiro, zvirokwazvo hamungapindi muumambo hwokudenga.
21 You have heard that it was said to them of old: Thou shalt not kill. And whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment.
“Makanzwa zvakataurwa kune vanhu vekare zvichinzi, ‘Usauraya uye ani naani anouraya achatongwa.’
22 But I say to you, that whosoever is angry with his brother, shall be in danger of the judgment. And whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council. And whosoever shall say, Thou Fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. (Geenna g1067)
Asi ini ndinokuudzai kuti ani naani anotsamwira hama yake achatongwa. Uyezve ani naani anoti, ‘Raka’ kuhama yake achamiswa pamberi pedare ravatongi. Asizve ani naani anoti kuhama yake, ‘Iwe benzi!’ achapara mhosva yokuti atongerwe moto wegehena. (Geenna g1067)
23 If therefore thou offer thy gift at the altar, and there thou remember that thy brother hath any thing against thee;
“Naizvozvo kana wada kupa chipo chako paaritari, ukayeuka pakarepo kuti wakatadzira hama yako,
24 Leave there thy offering before the altar, and go first to be reconciled to thy brother: and then coming thou shalt offer thy gift.
siya chipo chako ipapo pamberi pearitari. Tanga waenda undoyanana nehama yako, wozouya wopa chipo chako.
25 Be at agreement with thy adversary betimes, whilst thou art in the way with him: lest perhaps the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
“Kurumidza kutenderana nomudzivisi wako uyo ari kukuendesa kudare. Ita izvi uchiri munzira naye, kana kuti angangokuisa kumutongi uye mutongi agokuisa kumutariri, uye ugokandwa mutorongo.
26 Amen I say to thee, thou shalt not go out from thence till thou repay the last farthing.
Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti haungabudimo kusvikira waripa kamari kokupedzisira.
27 You have heard that it was said to them of old: Thou shalt not commit adultery.
“Makanzwa zvichinzi, ‘Usaita upombwe.’
28 But I say to you, that whosoever shall look on a woman to lust after her, hath already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Asi ini ndinoti kwamuri ani naani anotarisa mukadzi neziso roruchiva atoita upombwe naye mumwoyo make.
29 And if thy right eye scandalize thee, pluck it out and cast it from thee. For it is expedient for thee that one of thy members should perish, rather than that thy whole body be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
Kana ziso rako rorudyi richikuita kuti utadze, ribvise urirase. Zviri nani kwauri kuti urasikirwe nomumwe mutezo womuviri wako pano kuti muviri wako wose ukandwe mugehena. (Geenna g1067)
30 And if thy right hand scandalize thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is expedient for thee that one of thy members should perish, rather than that thy whole body be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
Uye kana ruoko rwako rworudyi ruchikuita kuti utadze, rucheke ururase. Zviri nani kwauri kuti urasikirwe nomumwe mutezo womuviri wako, pano kuti muviri wako wose uende kugehena. (Geenna g1067)
31 And it hath been said, whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a bill of divorce.
“Zvakanzi, ‘Ani naani anoramba mukadzi wake anofanira kumupa gwaro rokurambana.’
32 But I say to you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, excepting for the cause of fornication, maketh her to commit adultery: and he that shall marry her that is put away, committeth adultery.
Asi ndinokuudzai kuti ani naani anoramba mukadzi wake kunze kwemhosva yokusatendeka muwaniso anomuitisa upombwe, uye ani naani anowana mukadzi akarambwa anoita upombwe.
33 Again you have heard that it was said to them of old, Thou shalt not forswear thyself: but thou shalt perform thy oaths to the Lord.
“Makanzwa zvakare zvichitaurwa kuvanhu vekare kare zvichinzi, ‘Usatyora mhiko dzako, asi zadzisa mhiko dzose dzaunenge waita kuna Ishe.’
34 But I say to you not to swear at all, neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God:
Asi ndinokuudzai kuti, Musatongopika: kunyange nedenga nokuti ndiro chigaro chaMwari choumambo;
35 Nor by the earth, for it is his footstool: nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great king:
kana nenyika nokuti ndiyo chitsiko chetsoka dzake; kana neJerusarema nokuti ndiro guta raMambo Mukuru.
36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
Uye usapika nomusoro wako nokuti haugoni kuita kuti bvudzi rimwe chete rive jena kana dema.
37 But let your speech be yea, yea: no, no: and that which is over and above these, is of evil.
Hongu yako ngaingova ‘Hongu’, ne‘Kwete’ yako ive ‘Kwete’; zvimwe zvinopfuura izvi zvinobva kuno wakaipa.
38 You have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.
“Makanzwa kuti zvakanzi, ‘Ziso rinotsiviwa neziso, uye zino rinotsiviwa nezino.’
39 But I say to you not to resist evil: but if one strike thee on thy right cheek, turn to him also the other:
Asi ndinokuudzai kuti, Musadzivisa munhu akaipa. Kana munhu akakurova padama rorudyi, murinzire roruboshwewo.
40 And if a man will contend with thee in judgment, and take away thy coat, let go thy cloak also unto him.
Kana munhu akakukwirira kumatare achida kukutorera nguo yako, rega atorewo nejasi rako.
41 And whosoever will force thee one mile, go with him other two,
Kana munhu akakumanikidza kufamba mutunhu mumwe chete, famba naye miviri.
42 Give to him that asketh of thee and from him that would borrow of thee turn not away.
Kana munhu akakukumbira chinhu, mupe, uye usafuratira munhu anoda kukwereta kwauri.
43 You have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thy enemy.
“Makanzwa kuti zvakanzi, ‘Ida wokwako, uvenge muvengi wako.’
44 But I say to you, Love your enemies: do good to them that hate you: and pray for them that persecute and calumniate you:
Asi ini ndinokuudzai kuti, Idai vavengi venyu, mugonyengeterera avo vanokutambudzai,
45 That you may be the children of your Father who is in heaven, who maketh his sun to rise upon the good, and bad, and raineth upon the just and the unjust.
kuitira kuti mugova vana vaBaba venyu vari kudenga. Ivo vanoita kuti zuva ravo ribude pane vakaipa nevakanaka uye vanonayisa mvura yavo pane vakarurama nevasakarurama.
46 For if you love them that love you, what reward shall you have? do not even the publicans this?
Kana mukangoda avo vanokudai, muchawana mubayiro wei? Vateresi havaiti zvimwe chetezvo here?
47 And if you salute your brethren only, what do you more? do not also the heathens this?
Kana muchingokwazisana nehama dzenyu bedzi, mungakunda vamwe pakudii? Ko, vasingatendi havaiti zvimwe chetezvo here?
48 Be you therefore perfect, as also your heavenly Father is perfect.
Naizvozvo, ivai vakakwana, sezvo Baba venyu vari kudenga vari vakakwana.
