Matthew 7
1 Judge not, that you may not be judged,
“Usatonga kuti newewo urege kutongwa.
2 For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again.
Nokuti nzira yaunotonga nayo vamwe ndiyo yauchatongwa nayo, uye chiero chaunoshandisa ndicho chichashandiswa kwauri.
3 Any why seest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye; and seest not the beam that is in thy own eye?
“Unotarisirei kabanzu kari muziso rehama yako, asi usina hanya nepuranga riri muziso rako?
4 Or how sayest thou to thy brother: Let me cast the mote out of thy eye; and behold a beam is in thy own eye?
Ungati sei kuhama yako, ‘Rega ndibvise kabanzu kari muziso rako,’ asi iwe nguva dzose uine puranga riri muziso rako?
5 Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam in thy own eye, and then shalt thou see to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.
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 dogs; neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turning upon you, they tear 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 you: seek, and you shall find: knock, and it shall be opened to you.
“Kumbirai mugopiwa, tsvakai mugowana, gogodzai mugozarurirwa.
8 For every one that asketh, receiveth: and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.
Nokuti munhu wose anokumbira anopiwa, anotsvaka anowana; uye anogogodza anozarurirwa musiwo.
9 Or what man is there among you, of whom if his son shall ask bread, will he reach him a stone?
“Ndiani pakati penyu angati kana mwanakomana wake akamukumbira chingwa, omupa ibwe?
10 Or if he shall ask him a fish, will he reach him a serpent?
Kana kuti akakumbira hove iye omupa nyoka?
11 If you then being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children: how much more will your Father who is in heaven, give good things to them that ask him?
Zvino imi, kunyange zvenyu makaipa, muchiziva kupa zvipo zvakanaka kuvana venyu, Baba venyu vari kudenga vachapa zvipo zvakanaka sei kuna avo vanokumbira!
12 All things therefore whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do you also 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 ye in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in thereat.
“Pindai napasuo rakamanikana nokuti suo rakafara nenzira yakapamhama zvinotungamirira kukuparadzwa, uye vazhinji vanopinda naro.
14 How narrow is the gate, and strait is the way that leadeth to life: and few there are that find it!
Asi suo duku nenzira yakamanikana ndizvo zvinotungamirira kuupenyu, uye vashoma chete, ndivo vanozviwana.
15 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
“Chenjererai vaprofita venhema, vanouya kwamuri vakapfeka matehwe emakwai asi mukati mavo vari mapere anoparadza.
16 By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Muchavaziva nemichero yavo. Vanhu vanganhonga mazambiringa pamuti weminzwa here, kana maonde parukato?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, and the evil tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
Saizvozvo muti wose wakanaka unobereka michero yakanaka, muti wakaipa unobereka michero yakaipa.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can an evil tree bring forth good fruit.
Muti wakanaka haungabereki michero yakaipa, nemuti wakaipa haungabereki michero yakanaka.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down, and shall be cast into the fire.
Muti wose usingabereki michero yakanaka unotemwa uye ugokandwa mumoto.
20 Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them.
Naizvozvo muchavaziva nemichero yavo.
21 Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.
“Havasi vose vanoti kwandiri, ‘Ishe, Ishe’ vachapinda muushe hwokudenga, asi uyo chete anoita kuda kwaBaba vangu vari kudenga.
22 Many will say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, have not we prophesied in thy name, and cast out devils in thy name, and done many miracles in thy name?
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 profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.
Ipapo ndichavaudza pachena kuti, ‘Handina kutombokuzivai. Ibvai zvenyu pandiri, imi vaiti vezvakaipa!’
24 Every one therefore that heareth these my words, and doth them, shall be likened to a wise man that built his house upon a rock,
“Naizvozvo munhu anonzwa mashoko angu aya, uye akaaita, akafanana nemurume akachenjera uyo akavaka imba yake paruware.
25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell not, for it was founded on a rock.
Mvura yakanaya, nzizi dzikazara, uye dutu remhepo rakauya rikarova imba iya, asi haina kuputsika, nokuti hwaro hwayo hwaiva paruware.
26 And every one that heareth these my words, and doth them not, shall be like a foolish man that 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 fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall thereof.
Mvura yakanaya, nzizi dzikazara, uye dutu remhepo rakauya rikarova imba iya ikawa nokuwa kukuru.”
28 And it came to pass when Jesus had fully ended these words, the people were in admiration at his doctrine.
Jesu akati apedza kutaura zvinhu izvi vazhinji vaivapo vakashamiswa nokudzidzisa kwake,
29 For he was teaching them as one having power, and not as the scribes and Pharisees.
nokuti akadzidzisa somurume aiva nesimba kwete samadzidzisiro aiitwa navadzidzisi vavo vomurayiro.
