Matthew 18
1 The same time the disciples came vnto Iesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdome of heauen?
Panguva iyoyo vadzidzi vakauya kuna Jesu uye vakamubvunza vachiti, “Ndianiko mukuru pane vose muumambo hwokudenga?”
2 And Iesus called a litle childe vnto him, and set him in the mids of them,
Akadana mwana muduku ndokumumisa pakati pavo.
3 And sayd, Verely I say vnto you, except ye be conuerted, and become as litle children, ye shall not enter into the kingdome of heauen.
Uye akati, “Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti, kana musina kushanduka mukava savana vaduku, hamungatongopindi muumambo hwokudenga.
4 Whosoeuer therefore shall humble himselfe as this litle childe, the same is the greatest in the kingdome of heauen.
Naizvozvo ani naani anozvininipisa somwana uyu ndiye achava mukuru muumambo hwokudenga.
5 And whosoeuer shall receiue one such litle childe in my name, receiueth me.
“Uye ani naani anogamuchira mwana muduku souyu muzita rangu anogamuchira ini.
6 But whosoeuer shall offend one of these litle ones which beleeue in me, it were better for him, that a milstone were hanged about his necke, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
Asi ani naani anoita kuti mumwe wavaduku vanotenda kwandiri atadze, zvaiva nani kwaari kuti asungirirwe guyo guru muhuro make agonyudzwa mugungwa makadzika.
7 Wo be vnto the world because of offences: for it must needes be that offences shall come, but wo be to that man by whome the offence commeth.
“Ine nhamo nyika nokuda kwezvinhu zvinoita kuti vanhu vatadze! Zvinhu izvozvo zvinofanira kuuya asi ane nhamo munhu anoita kuti zviitike.
8 Wherefore, if thy hand or thy foote cause thee to offend, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life, halt, or maimed, then hauing two hands, or two feete, to be cast into euerlasting fire. (aiōnios g166)
Kana ruoko rwako kana kuti rutsoka rwako zvichikuita kuti utadze, zvidimure uzvirasire kure. Zviri nani kupinda muupenyu wakaremara kana kuti uchikamhina, pano kupinda mumoto usingadzimi uine maoko maviri namakumbo maviri. (aiōnios g166)
9 And if thine eye cause thee to offende, plucke it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, then hauing two eyes to be cast into hell fire. (Geenna g1067)
Kana ziso rako richikuita kuti utadze ribvise urirasire kure. Zviri nani kuti upinde muupenyu uine ziso rimwe chete pane kunge uine maziso maviri asi ugokandwa mumoto wegehena. (Geenna g1067)
10 See that ye despise not one of these litle ones: for I say vnto you, that in heauen their Angels alwayes behold the face of my Father which is in heauen.
“Onai kuti hamuzvidze mumwe wavaduku ava. Ndinokuudzai kuti vatumwa vavo kudenga vanogaroona chiso chaBaba vangu vari kudenga.
11 For the Sonne of man is come to saue that which was lost.
Nokuti Mwanakomana woMunhu akauya kuzoponesa chakarasika.
12 How thinke ye? If a man haue an hundreth sheepe, and one of them be gone astray, doeth he not leaue ninetie and nine, and go into the mountaines, and seeke that which is gone astray?
“Imi munofungei? Kana munhu ane makwai zana, rimwe chete rawo rikarasika, haangasiye makumi mapfumbamwe nepfumbamwe mumakomo achinotsvaka rakarasika here?
13 And if so be that he finde it, verely I say vnto you, he reioyceth more of that sheepe, then of the ninetie and nine which went not astray:
Uye kana akariwana, ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti anorifarira kukunda makumi mapfumbamwe nemapfumbamwe asina kurasika.
14 So is it not ye wil of your Father which is in heauen, that one of these litle ones should perish.
Nenzira imwe cheteyo Baba venyu vari kudenga havafariri kuti mumwe wavaduku ava arasike.
15 Moreouer, if thy brother trespasse against thee, goe and tell him his fault betweene thee and him alone: if he heare thee, thou hast wonne thy brother.
“Kana hama yako yakutadzira enda umuudze mhosva yake, muri vaviri chete. Kana akakunzwa wadzora hama yako.
16 But if he heare thee not, take yet with thee one or two, that by the mouth of two or three witnesses euery worde may be confirmed.
Asi akaramba kuteerera, enda nomumwe kana vaviri kuitira kuti ‘nyaya imwe neimwe isimbiswe nezvapupu zviviri kana zvitatu.’
17 And if he refuse to heare them, tell it vnto the Church: and if he refuse to heare the Church also, let him be vnto thee as an heathen man, and a Publicane.
Kana akaramba kuteerera, uudze kereke, kana akaramba kuteerera kunyange kereke, umutore zvako somuhedheni kana muteresi.
18 Verely I say vnto you, Whatsoeuer ye bind on earth, shall be bound in heauen: and whatsoeuer ye loose on earth, shalbe loosed in heauen.
“Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti chose chamuchasunga pano pasi chichasungwa kudenga, nechamunosunungura pano pasi chichasunungurwa kudenga.
19 Againe, verely I say vnto you, that if two of you shall agree in earth vpon any thing, whatsoeuer they shall desire, it shall be giuen them of my Father which is in heauen.
“Ndinokuudzai zvakare kuti kana vaviri venyu mukabvumirana pane chamunokumbira kuna Baba vangu vari kudenga, muchachiitirwa.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my Name, there am I in the mids of them.
Nokuti panoungana vaviri kana vatatu muzita rangu, neni ndiripo pakati pavo.”
21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Master, howe oft shall my brother sinne against me, and I shall forgiue him? vnto seuen times?
Ipapo Petro akauya kuna Jesu akamubvunza achiti, “Ishe, kanganiko kandingaregerera hama yangu kana achinditadzira? Kanomwe here?”
22 Iesus said vnto him, I say not to thee, Vnto seuen times, but, Vnto seuentie times seuen times.
Jesu akapindura akati, “Kwete kanomwe chete, asi kakapetwa makumi manomwe ane nomwe.
23 Therefore is the kingdome of heauen likened vnto a certaine King, which would take an account of his seruants.
“Naizvozvo, umambo hwokudenga hwakafanana namambo aida kuripirwa zvikwereti zvake navaranda vake.
24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought vnto him, which ought him ten thousand talents.
Paakatanga kuzviongorora, murume ainge aine chikwereti chamatarenda zviuru gumi akauyiswa kwaari.
25 And because he had nothing to pay, his Lord commanded him to be solde, and his wife, and his children, and all that he had, and the dette to be payed.
Sezvo ainge asingakwanisi kuripa chikwereti ichi, tenzi wake akaronga kuti iye nomudzimai wake, navana vake nezvose zvaaiva nazvo zvitengeswe kuti zviripe chikwereti.
26 The seruant therefore fell downe, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, refraine thine anger toward me, and I will pay thee all.
“Muranda uya akazviwisira pamberi patenzi wake akamukumbira zvikuru achiti, ‘Ndiitireiwo mwoyo murefu, ndicharipa hangu zvose.’
27 Then that seruants Lord had compassion, and loosed him, and forgaue him the dette.
Tenzi womuranda uya akamunzwira tsitsi, ndokubva adzima chikwereti chiya chose, uye akamuregedza achienda zvake.
28 But when the seruant was departed, hee found one of his felow seruants, which ought him an hundred pence, and he layde hands on him, and thratled him, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
“Asi muranda uya paakabuda, akasangana nomumwewo muranda saiye ainge aine chikwereti chake chamadhenari zana. Akamubata ndokutanga kumudzipa. Akati, ‘Ndipe chikwereti changu!’
29 Then his fellow seruant fell downe at his feete, and besought him, saying, Refraine thine anger towards me, and I will pay thee all.
“Muranda uya saiyewo muranda akapfugama ndokumukumbira zvikuru achiti, ‘Ndiitirewo mwoyo murefu, ndichakupa chikwereti chako.’
30 Yet he would not, but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the dette.
“Asi akaramba. Pamusoro pezvo akamusungisa uye akaita kuti aiswe mutorongo kusvikira aripa chikwereti chose.
31 And when his other felowe seruants sawe what was done, they were very sory, and came, and declared vnto their Lord all that was done.
Vamwe varanda vakati vaona zvakanga zvaitika, zvakavatambudza zvikuru ndokubva vanoudza tenzi wavo zvose zvakanga zvaitika.
32 Then his Lord called him vnto him, and sayd to him, O euil seruant, I forgaue thee all that dette, because thou prayedst me.
“Tenzi akadana muranda uya akati, ‘Iwe muranda akaipa. Ndakadzima chikwereti changu chawaiva nacho nokuti wakandikumbira zvikuru.
33 Oughtest not thou also to haue had pitie on thy fellowe seruant, euen as I had pitie on thee?
Saka hawaifanira here kuva netsitsi kuno mumwe wako sezvandakakuitira iwe?’
34 So his Lord was wroth, and deliuered him to the tormentours, till he should pay all that was due to him.
Nehasha tenzi wake akamuisa kune vejeri kuti arangwe zvinorwadza kusvikira aripa chikwereti chose chaaiva nacho.
35 So likewise shall mine heauenly Father doe vnto you, except ye forgiue from your hearts, eche one to his brother their trespasses.
“Izvi ndizvo zvichaitirwa mumwe nomumwe wenyu naBaba vangu vari kudenga kana musingaregereri hama yenyu nomwoyo wose.”
