Matthew 15
1 Then there came to Jesus a party of Pharisees and Scribes from Jerusalem, who inquired,
Ipapo vanyori navaFarisi vakauya kuna Jesu vachibva kuJerusarema uye vakamubvunza vachiti,
2 "Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the Elders by not washing their hands before meals?"
“Sei vadzidzi venyu vachityora tsika dzavakuru? Havashambi maoko avo vasati vadya!”
3 "Why do you, too," He retorted, "transgress God's commands for the sake of your tradition?
Jesu akavapindura achiti, “Ko, imi munotyorerei murayiro waMwari nokuda kwetsika dzenyu?
4 For God said, 'Honour thy father and thy mother'; and 'Let him who reviles father or mother be certainly put to death';
Nokuti Mwari akati, ‘Kudza baba vako namai vako’ uye, ‘Ani naani anotuka baba kana mai vake anofanira kuurayiwa.’
5 but you--this is what you say: 'If a man says to his father or mother, That is consecrated, whatever it is, which otherwise you should have received from me--
Asi imi munoti kana munhu akati kuna baba vake kana mai vake, ‘Chinhu chipi nechipi chamaiti munozogamuchira kubva kwandiri, chava chipo chakakumikidzwa kuna Mwari’,
6 he shall be absolved from honouring his father'; and so you have abrogated God's Word for the sake of your tradition.
haachafaniri ‘kukudza baba vake’ nacho? Saizvozvo munoshayisa shoko raMwari simba nokuda kwetsika dzenyu.
7 Hypocrites! well did Isaiah prophesy of you,
Imi vanyengeri! Isaya akaprofita kwazvo pamusoro penyu achiti:
8 "'This is a People who honour Me with their lips, while their heart is far away from Me;
“‘Vanhu ava vanondikudza nemiromo yavo, asi mwoyo yavo iri kure neni.
9 but it is in vain they worship Me, while they lay down precepts which are mere human rules.'"
Vanondinamata pasina; vachidzidzisa dzidziso nemirayiro yavanhu.’”
10 Then, when He had called the people to Him, Jesus said, "Hear and understand.
Jesu akadana vanhu vazhinji kwaari akati, “Teererai, munzwisise.
11 It is not what goes into a man's mouth that defiles him; but it is what comes out of his mouth--that defiles a man."
Icho chinopinda mumuromo momunhu ‘hachimusvibisi’, asi chinobuda mumuromo make ndicho ‘chinomusvibisa’.”
12 Then His disciples came and said to Him, "Do you know that the Pharisees were greatly shocked when they heard those words?"
Ipapo vadzidzi vakauya kwaari vakamubvunza vachiti, “Munoziva here kuti vaFarisi vagumburwa pavanzwa shoko iri?”
13 "Every plant," He replied, "which my Heavenly Father has not planted will be rooted up.
Akapindura akati, “Muti mumwe nomumwe usina kusimwa naBaba vangu vokudenga uchadzurwa.
14 Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind; and if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into some pit."
Vasiyei vakadaro, vatungamiriri vamapofu. Kana bofu rikatungamirira rimwe bofu, vose vachawira mugomba.”
15 "Explain to us this figurative language," said Peter.
Petro akati, “Titsanangurirei mufananidzo uyu.”
16 "Are even you," He answered, "still without intellingence?
Jesu akavabvunza akati, “Nemiwo hamusati mava kunzwisisa?
17 Do you not understand that whatever enters the mouth passes into the stomach and is afterwards ejected from the body?
Hamuoniwo here kuti chose chinopinda mumuromo chinopinda mudumbu chichizobuda kunze!
18 But the things that come out of the mouth proceed from the heart, and it is these that defile the man.
Asi zvinhu zvinobuda mumuromo zvinobva mumwoyo, izvozvi ndizvo zvinosvibisa munhu.
19 For out of the heart proceed wicked thoughts, murder, adultery, fornication, theft, perjury, impiety of speech.
Nokuti mumwoyo munobuda pfungwa dzakaipa, umhondi, upombwe, unzenza, umbavha, uchapupu hwenhema nokureva nhema pamusoro pavamwe vanhu.
20 These are the things which defile the man; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile."
Izvi ndizvo ‘zvinosvibisa’ munhu, asi kudya asina kushamba maoko ‘hazvimusvibisi’.”
21 Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew into the vicinity of Tyre and Sidon.
Jesu akabvapo akaenda kudunhu reTire neSidhoni.
22 Here a Canaanitish woman of the district came out and persistently cried out, "Sir, Son of David, pity me; my daughter is cruelly harassed by a demon."
Mumwe mukadzi muKenani womunzvimbo iyi akauya achidanidzira achiti, “Ishe, mwanakomana waDhavhidhi, ndinzwirei ngoni! Mwanasikana wangu ari kutambudzwa zvikuru nedhimoni rakamubata.”
23 But He answered her not a word. Then the disciples interposed, and begged Him, saying, "Send her away because she keeps crying behind us."
Jesu haana chaakapindura. Ipapo vadzidzi vake vakauya kwaari vakasvikoti, “Mudzingei nokuti ari kuramba achidanidzira kwatiri.”
24 "I have only been sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel," He replied.
Akati kwavari, “Ndakatumwa kumakwai akarasika eIsraeri chete.”
25 Then she came and threw herself at His feet and entreated Him. "O Sir, help me," she said.
Mukadzi uya akauya akasvikopfugama pamberi pake akati, “Ishe, ndibatsireiwo!”
26 "It is not right," He said, "to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."
Akapindura akati, “Hazvina kunaka kutora chingwa chavana muchichikandira imbwa.”
27 "Be it so, Sir," she said, "for even the dogs eat the scraps which fall from their masters' tables."
Mukadzi uya akati, “Hongu Ishe, kunyange nembwa dzinodyawo zvimedu zvinodonha kubva patafura yatenzi wadzo.”
28 "O woman," replied Jesus, "great is your faith: be it done to you as you desire." And from that moment her daughter was restored to health.
Ipapo Jesu akapindura akati, “Mai, mune kutenda kukuru! Chikumbiro chenyu chanzwikwa.” Mwanasikana wake akabva aporeswa kubva panguva iyoyo.
29 Again, moving thence, Jesus went along by the Lake of Galilee; and ascending the hill, He sat down there.
Jesu akabvapo akatevedza gungwa reGarirea. Ipapo akakwira mugomo akagara pasi.
30 Soon great crowds came to Him, bringing with them those who were crippled in feet or hands, blind or dumb, and many besides, and they hastened to lay them at His feet. And He cured them,
Uye vanhu vazhinji vakauya kwaari navakaremara, mapofu, mhetamakumbo, mbeveve navamwe vazhinji, vakasvikovaisa patsoka dzake uye akavaporesa.
31 so that the people were amazed to see the dumb speaking, the maimed with their hands perfect, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they gave the glory to the God of Israel.
Vanhu vakashamiswa kuona mbeveve dzichitaura, mhetamakumbo dzichitwasanudzwa, vakaremara vachifamba namapofu achiona. Vakarumbidza Mwari weIsraeri.
32 But Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, "My heart yearns over this mass of people, for it is now the third day that they have been with me and they have nothing to eat. I am unwilling to send them away hungry, lest they should faint on the road."
Jesu akadana vadzidzi vake akati kwavari, “Ndiri kunzwa tsitsi pamusoro pavanhu ava; vanga vachingova neni kwamazuva matatu uye havachina chokudya. Handidi kuti ndivaendese vaine nzara nokuti vangaziya nenzara munzira.”
33 "Where can we," asked the disciples, "get bread enough in this remote place to satisfy so vast a multitude?"
Vadzidzi vake vakapindura vachiti, “Ndokupi kwatingawana chingwa chinokwana vanhu vose ava muno musango makadai?”
34 "How many loaves have you?" Jesus asked. "Seven," they said, "and a few small fish."
Jesu akabvunza akati, “Mune zvingwa zvingani?” Ivo vakati, “Tine zvinomwe notuhove tushoma shoma.”
35 So He bade all the people sit down on the ground,
Akarayira kuti vanhu vose vagare pasi.
36 and He took the seven loaves and the fish, and after giving thanks He broke them up and then distributed them to the disciples, and they to the people.
Ipapo akatora zvingwa zvinomwe zviya nehove dziya, akavonga, akazvimedura ndokuzvipa kuvadzidzi, ivowo ndokupa vanhu vose.
37 And they all ate and were satisfied. The broken portions that remained over they took up--seven full hampers.
Vose vakadya vakaguta. Mushure, vadzidzi vakanhongera zvimedu zvakanga zvasara zvikazadza matengu manomwe.
38 Those who ate were 4,000 adult men, without reckoning women and children.
Vanhu vakadya vaiva varume zviuru zvina, vakadzi navana vasingaverengerwi.
39 He then dismissed the people, went on board the boat, and came into the district of Magadan.
Mushure mokunge Jesu aendesa vanhu vazhinji ava, akapinda mugwa ndokubva aenda kudunhu reMagadhani.
