Matthew 5
1 And seeing the multitudes, he ascended a mountain: and when he was seated, his disciples came to him.
Zvino akati aona vanhu vazhinji, akakwira mugomo uye akagara pasi. Vadzidzi vake vakauya kwaari,
2 And he opened his mouth, and 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] they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Vakaropafadzwa vanochema nokuti vachanyaradzwa.
5 Blessed [are] the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Vakaropafadzwa vanyoro nokuti vachagara nhaka yenyika.
6 Blessed [are] they who hunger and thirst for righteousness: for they shall be filled.
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 pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Vakaropafadzwa vakachena pamwoyo, nokuti vachaona Mwari.
9 Blessed [are] the peace-makers: for they shall be called children of God.
Vakaropafadzwa vanoyananisa nokuti vachanzi vana vaMwari.
10 Blessed [are] they who are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Vakaropafadzwa vanotambudzwa nokuda kwokururama nokuti umambo hwokudenga ndohwavo.
11 Blessed are ye when men shall revile you, and persecute [you], and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
“Makaropafadzwa imi kana vanhu vachikutukai, vachikutambudzai uye vachikupomerai zvakaipa zvose nokuda kwangu.
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great [is] your reward in heaven: for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Farai mufarisise kwazvo nokuti mubayiro wenyu mukuru kudenga, nokuti nenzira imwe cheteyo vakatambudza vaprofita vakakutangirai.
13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt hath lost its savor, with what shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot by men.
“Imi muri munyu wenyika. Asi kana munyu usisavavi ungavaviswe nei? Hauchabatsiri chinhu, kunze kwokuti uraswe ugotsikwa zvawo navanhu.
14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.
“Imi muri chiedza chenyika. Guta riri pamusoro pegomo haringavanziki.
15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a close vessel, but on a candlestick: and it giveth light to all that are in the house.
Uye vanhu havangatungidzi mwenje vagouisa pasi pedengu. Asi kutoti vanouisa pachigadziko kuti uvhenekere vose vari mumba.
16 Let your light so 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 Think not 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 verily I say to you, Till heaven and earth shall pass away, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from 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 Whoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whoever shall do, and teach [them], the same 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 say to you, That except your righteousness shall exceed [the righteousness] of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Nokuti ndinokuudzai zvirokwazvo kuti kana kururama kwenyu kukasapfuura kwavaFarisi nokwavadzidzisi vemirayiro, zvirokwazvo hamungapindi muumambo hwokudenga.
21 Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whoever 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 whoever is angry with his brother without a cause, shall be in danger of the judgment: and whoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whoever 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 Therefore if thou shalt bring thy gift to the altar, and there remember that thy brother hath aught against thee;
“Naizvozvo kana wada kupa chipo chako paaritari, ukayeuka pakarepo kuti wakatadzira hama yako,
24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
siya chipo chako ipapo pamberi pearitari. Tanga waenda undoyanana nehama yako, wozouya wopa chipo chako.
25 Agree with thy adversary quickly, while thou art in the way with him; lest at any time 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 Verily, I say to thee, thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti haungabudimo kusvikira waripa kamari kokupedzisira.
27 Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
“Makanzwa zvichinzi, ‘Usaita upombwe.’
28 But I say to you, That whoever looketh on a woman to lust after her, hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Asi ini ndinoti kwamuri ani naani anotarisa mukadzi neziso roruchiva atoita upombwe naye mumwoyo make.
29 And if thy right eye shall cause thee to sin, pluck it out, and cast [it] from thee: for [it] is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not [that] thy whole body should 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 shall cause thee to sin, cut it off, and cast [it] from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not [that] thy whole body should 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 It hath been said, Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
“Zvakanzi, ‘Ani naani anoramba mukadzi wake anofanira kumupa gwaro rokurambana.’
32 But I say to you, That whoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of lewdness, causeth her to commit adultery: and whoever shall marry her that is divorced, 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, ye have heard that it hath been said to them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform to the Lord thy oaths:
“Makanzwa zvakare zvichitaurwa kuvanhu vekare kare zvichinzi, ‘Usatyora mhiko dzako, asi zadzisa mhiko dzose dzaunenge waita kuna Ishe.’
34 But I say to you, Swear not at all: neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
Asi ndinokuudzai kuti, Musatongopika: kunyange nedenga nokuti ndiro chigaro chaMwari choumambo;
35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither 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 communication be, Yea, yea, Nay, nay: for whatever [is] more than these cometh of evil.
Hongu yako ngaingova ‘Hongu’, ne‘Kwete’ yako ive ‘Kwete’; zvimwe zvinopfuura izvi zvinobva kuno wakaipa.
38 Ye 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, That ye resist not evil: but whoever shall strike thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Asi ndinokuudzai kuti, Musadzivisa munhu akaipa. Kana munhu akakurova padama rorudyi, murinzire roruboshwewo.
40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have [thy] cloke also.
Kana munhu akakukwirira kumatare achida kukutorera nguo yako, rega atorewo nejasi rako.
41 And whoever shall constrain thee [to go] one mile, go with him two.
Kana munhu akakumanikidza kufamba mutunhu mumwe chete, famba naye miviri.
42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee, turn not thou away.
Kana munhu akakukumbira chinhu, mupe, uye usafuratira munhu anoda kukwereta kwauri.
43 Ye 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, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them who despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Asi ini ndinokuudzai kuti, Idai vavengi venyu, mugonyengeterera avo vanokutambudzai,
45 That ye may be the children of your Father who [is] in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on 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 ye love them who love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
Kana mukangoda avo vanokudai, muchawana mubayiro wei? Vateresi havaiti zvimwe chetezvo here?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more [than others]? do not even the publicans so?
Kana muchingokwazisana nehama dzenyu bedzi, mungakunda vamwe pakudii? Ko, vasingatendi havaiti zvimwe chetezvo here?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.
Naizvozvo, ivai vakakwana, sezvo Baba venyu vari kudenga vari vakakwana.
