Matthew 12
1 At that time Jesus went on the sabbath through the grain fields; and his disciples were hungry, and began to pluck the heads of grain, and to eat.
Nenguva iyo Jesu wakagura nemumunda wezviyo nesabata; zvino vadzidzi vake vakange vane nzara, vakatanga kutanha hura ndokudya.
2 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said to him, Behold, thy disciples do that which it is not lawful to do on the sabbath.
Asi VaFarisi vakati vachiona vakati kwaari: Tarira, vadzidzi vako vanoita zvisingatenderwi kuitwa nesabata.
3 But he said to them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was hungry, and they that were with him;
Asi wakati kwavari: Hamuna kuverenga here Dhavhidhi zvaakaita paakange ava nenzara, iye nevakange vanaye;
4 How he entered into the house of God, and ate the showbread, which it was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them who were with him, but only for the priests?
kuti wakapinda sei mumba maMwari, akadya zvingwa zvekuratidza, zvaakange asingatenderwi kuzvidya iye kunyange nevaiva naye, kunze kwevapristi chete?
5 Or have ye not read in the law, that on the sabbath the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
Kana hamuna kuverenga here pamurairo, kuti nemasabata vapristi vanosvibisa masabata mutembere asi vasina chavangapomerwa?
6 But I say to you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.
Asi ndinoti kwamuri: Pano pane mukuru kutembere.
7 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
Asi dai maiziva kuti zvinorevei kuti: Ndinoda tsitsi kwete chibairo, mungadai musina kupa mhosva vasina mhosva.
8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath.
Nokuti Mwanakomana wemunhu ndiIshe kunyange wesabata.
9 And when he had departed from there, he went into their synagogue:
Zvino wakati abvapo akapinda musinagoge ravo.
10 And, behold, there was a man who had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath? that they might accuse him.
Zvino tarira, kwakange kune munhu akange ane ruoko rwakawonyana. Vakamubvunza vachiti: Zvakatenderwa kuporesa nemasabata here? kuti vamupe mhosva.
11 And he said to them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it shall fall into a pit on the sabbath, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?
Asi wakati kwavari: Ndeupi munhu pakati penyu achava negwai rimwe, iro kana rikawira mugomba nemasabata, angarega kuribata akasimudza?
12 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to do good on the sabbath days.
Naizvozvo munhu anopfuura gwai zvikuru sei! Naizvozvo zvakatenderwa kuita zvakanaka nemasabata.
13 Then saith he to the man, Stretch out thy hand. And he stretched it out; and it was restored as whole, as the other.
Zvino akati kumunhu: Tandavadza ruoko rwako. Akarutandavadza, rwukaporeswa rwukagwinya serumwe.
14 Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.
Zvino VaFarisi vakabuda, vakaita dare pamusoro pake kuti vangamuparadza sei.
15 But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from there: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;
Asi Jesu wakati aziva, akabvapo; zvaunga zvikuru zvikamutevera, akavaporesa vese.
16 And charged them that they should not make him known:
Akavarairisa kuti varege kumubudisa pachena.
17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying,
Kuti zvizadziswe zvakarehwa naIsaya muporofita, achiti:
18 Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall show justice to the Gentiles.
Tarira muranda wangu wandakasanangura, mudikanwi wangu, mweya wangu maunofara maari kwazvo. Ndichaisa Mweya wangu pamusoro pake, uye achazivisa vahedheni kutonga.
19 He shall not quarrel, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.
Haangarwisi kana kudanidzira, uye hakuna achanzwa inzwi rake munzira dzemumaguta.
20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he shall send forth justice to victory.
Rutsanga rwakapwanyika haangaruvhuni, netambo yemwenje inopfungaira haangadzimi; kusvikira achituma kutonga mukukunda.
21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
Uye vahedheni vachavimba muzita rake.
22 Then was brought to him one possessed with a demon, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, so that the blind and dumb both spoke and saw.
Zvino kwakauyiswa kwaari wakagarwa nedhimoni, bofu uye mbeveve; akamuporesa, zvekuti bofu mbeveve rakati kutaura rikati kuona.
23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?
Zvaunga zvese zvikashamisika zvikati: Ko uyu haasi Mwanakomana waDhavhidhi here?
24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This man doth not cast out demons, but by Beelzebub the prince of the demons.
Asi VaFarisi vakati vachinzwa vakati: Uyu haabudisi madhimoni, kunze naBheerizebhuri mukuru wemadhimoni.
25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
Zvino Jesu wakaziva ndangariro dzavo, akati kwavari: Ushe humwe nehumwe hwakapesana huchizvipikisa hunoparadzwa, neguta rimwe nerimwe kana imba yakapesana ichizvipikisa haingamiri.
26 And if Satan casteth out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom stand?
Uye kana Satani achibudisa Satani, anopesana achizvipikisa; zvino ushe hwake huchamira sei?
27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.
Uye kana ini ndichibudisa madhimoni naBheerizebhuri, vanakomana venyu vanoabudisa nani? Naizvozvo ivo vachava vatongi venyu.
28 But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come to you.
Asi kana ini ndichibudisa madhimoni neMweya waMwari, saka ushe hwaMwari hwasvika kwamuri.
29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man’s house, and seize his goods, except he shall first bind the strong man? and then he will plunder his house.
Kana munhu angapinda sei mumba mechikakarara akapamba nhumbi dzacho kunze kwekuti atanga kusunga chikakarara? Ipapo achapamba imba yake.
30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
Uyo asina ini, anopikisana neni, neasingaunganidzi neni, anoparadzira.
31 Therefore I say to you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven to men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven to men.
Naizvozvo ndinoti kwamuri: Vanhu vachakanganwirwa chivi chese nekunyomba, asi kunyomba Mweya hakungakanganwirwi vanhu.
32 And whoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whoever speaketh against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. (aiōn g165)
Uye ani nani anotaura shoko rinopikisa Mwanakomana wemunhu achakanganwirwa; asi ani nani anotaura achipikisa Mweya Mutsvene haangakanganwirwi, kana panguva ino kana kune inouya. (aiōn g165)
33 Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by its fruit.
Kana itai muti uve wakanaka nechibereko chawo chakanaka, kana itai muti uve wakaipa nechibereko chawo chakaipa, nokuti muti unozikanwa nechibereko.
34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
Vana venyoka, mungagona sei kutaura zvinhu zvakanaka makaipa? Nokuti muromo unotaura kubva pazvizere mumoyo.
35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
Munhu wakanaka anobudisa zvinhu zvakanaka pafuma yakanaka yemoyo; nemunhu wakaipa anobudisa zvinhu zvakaipa pafuma yakaipa.
36 But I say to you, That for every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account for it in the day of judgment.
Asi ndinoti kwamuri: Shoko rimwe nerimwe risina maturo vanhu ravanoreva, vachazvidavirira pamusoro paro nezuva rekutongwa.
37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Nokuti nemashoko ako uchanzi wakarurama, uye nemashoko ako uchapiwa mhosva.
38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
Zvino vamwe vevanyori neveVaFarisi vakapindura vakati: Mudzidzisi, tinoda kuona chiratidzo kubva kwamuri.
39 But he answered and said to them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh for a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah:
Asi wakapindura akati kwavari: Zera rakaipa rinofeva rinotsvaka chiratidzo; asi hakuna chiratidzo chingapiwa kwariri, kunze kwechiratidzo chaJona muporofita.
40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Nokuti Jona sezvaakava mudumbu rehove huru mazuva matatu neusiku utatu, saizvozvo Mwanakomana wemunhu achava mumoyo wenyika mazuva matatu neusiku utatu.
41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and, behold, a greater than Jonah is here.
Varume veNinivhi vachasimuka mukutongwa nezera iri, vacharipa mhosva; nokuti vakatendeuka nemharidzo yaJona; zvino tarirai, mukuru kuna Jona ari pano.
42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
Mambokadzi wechamhembe achasimuka mukutongwa nezera iri, agoripa mhosva; nokuti wakabva pamagumisiro enyika kuzonzwa uchenjeri hwaSoromoni; zvino tarirai, mukuru kuna Soromoni ari pano.
43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and he findeth none.
Zvino kana mweya wetsvina wabuda kumunhu, unofamba uchigura nzvimbo dzakawoma, uchitsvaka zororo, asi uchishaiwa.
44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from which I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.
Zvino unoti: Ndichadzokera kumba kwangu kwandakabuda; uye uchisvika unoiwana isina chinhu, yakatsvairwa yakarongedzwa.
45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also to this wicked generation.
Ipapo unoenda ndokutora pamwe naye mimwe mweya minomwe yakaipa kumupfuura pachake, ndokupinda ikagaramo; kugumawo kwemunhu uyu kwakaipa kupfuura kutanga. Zvichava saizvozvowo kuzera iri rakaipa.
46 While he was yet speaking to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood outside, desiring to speak with him.
Wakati achataura nezvaunga, tarira, mai nevanin'ina vake vakamira panze, vachitsvaka kutaura naye.
47 Then one said to him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand outside, desiring to speak with thee.
Umwe ndokuti kwaari: Tarirai, mai venyu nevanin'ina venyu vamire panze, vachitsvaka kutaura nemwi.
48 But he answered and said to him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
Asi wakapindura akati kuna iye wakamuudza: Mai vangu ndiani? Nevanin'ina vangu ndivana ani?
49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
Zvino wakatandavadzira ruoko rwake kuvadzidzi vake, akati: Tarirai, mai vangu nevanin'ina vangu.
50 For whoever shall do the will of my Father who is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
Nokuti ani nani unoita kuda kwaBaba vangu vari kumatenga, ndiye munin'ina wangu nehanzvadzi namai.
