Matthew 6
1 "But beware of doing your good actions in the sight of men, in order to attract their gaze; if you do, there is no reward for you with your Father who is in Heaven.
Chenjerai kuti basa renyu rerudo musariita pamberi pevanhu kuti muonekwe navo; kana zvisakadaro hamuna mubairo kuna Baba venyu vari kumatenga.
2 'When you give in charity, never blow a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and streets in order that their praises may be sung by men. I solemnly tell you that they already have their reward.
Naizvozvo kana uchiita basa rerudo, rega kuridza hwamanda pamberi pako sezvinoita vanyepedzeri mumasinagoge nemunzira dzemumaguta kuti vakudzwe nevanhu. Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Vagamuchira mubairo wavo.
3 But when you are giving in charity, let not your left hand perceive what your right hand is doing,
Asi iwe kana uchiita basa rerudo, ruboshwe rwako ngarurege kuziva zvinoita rudyi rwako.
4 that your charities may be in secret; and then your Father--He who sees in secret--will recompense you.
Kuti kuita kwako basa rerudo kuve pakavanda; uye Baba vako vanoona pakavanda, ivo vachakuripira pachena.
5 "And when praying, you must not be like the hypocrites. They are fond of standing and praying in the synagogues or at the corners of the wider streets, in order that men may see them. I solemnly tell you that they already have their reward.
Zvino kana uchinyengetera, usava sevanyepedzeri; nokuti vanoda kunyengetera vamire mumasinagoge nepamharadzano dzenzira dzemumaguta kuti vaonekwe nevanhu. Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Vagamuchira mubairo wavo.
6 But you, whenever you pray, go into your own room and shut the door: then pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father--He who sees in secret--will recompense you.
Asi iwe kana uchinyengetera, pinda muimba yako yemukati, ugovhara mukova wako, unyengetere kuna Baba vako vari pakavanda; zvino Baba vako vanoona pakavanda vachakuripira pachena.
7 "And when praying, do not use needless repetitions as the Gentiles do, for they expect to be listened to because of their multitude of words.
Asi kana muchinyengetera, musapamhidzira-pamhidzira zvisina maturo sevahedheni; nokuti vanofunga kuti vachanzwikwa nekutaura kwavo kuzhinji.
8 Do not, however, imitate them; for your Father knows what things you need before ever you ask Him.
Naizvozvo musafanana navo; nokuti Baba venyu vanoziva chamunoshaiwa musati mavakumbira.
9 "In this manner therefore pray: 'Our Father who art in Heaven, may Thy name be kept holy;
Naizvozvo imwi nyengeterai seizvi: Baba vedu vari kumatenga, zita renyu ngariitwe dzvene;
10 let Thy kingdom come; let Thy will be done, as in Heaven so on earth;
ushe hwenyu ngahuuye; chido chenyu ngachiitwe panyikawo sezvachinoitwa kudenga;
11 give us to-day our bread for the day;
mutipei nhasi kudya kwedu kwemisi yese;
12 and forgive us our shortcomings, as we also have forgiven those who have failed in their duty towards us;
uye mutikanganwire mangava edu, isu sezvatinokanganwirawo vane ngava nesu;
13 and bring us not into temptation, but rescue us from the Evil one.'
uye musatipinza pakuedzwa, asi mutisunungure pakuipa. Nokuti ushe ndehwenyu nesimba nekubwinya kusvikira rinhi narinhi. Ameni.
14 "For if you forgive others their offences, your Heavenly Father will forgive you also;
Nokuti kana muchikanganwira vanhu kudarika kwavo, Baba venyu vari kudenga vachakukanganwiraiwo.
15 but if you do not forgive others their offences, neither will your Father forgive yours.
Asi kana musingakanganwiri vanhu kudarika kwavo, Baba venyu havangakanganwiriwo kudarika kwenyu.
16 "When any of you fast, never assume gloomy looks as the hypocrites do; for they disfigure their faces in order that it may be evident to men that they are fasting. I solemnly tell you that they already have their reward.
Uyezve kana muchitsanya, musava nezviso zvinopunyaira sevanyepedzeri; nokuti vanounyanisa zviso zvavo, kuti vaonekwe nevanhu kuti vanotsanya. Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Vagamuchira mubairo wavo.
17 But, whenever you fast, pour perfume on your hair and wash your face,
Asi iwe kana uchitsanya, zodza musoro wako, ugeze chiso chako,
18 that it may not be apparent to men that you are fasting, but to your Father who is in secret; and your Father--He who sees in secret--will recompense you.
kuti urege kuonekwa kuvanhu kuti unotsanya, asi kuna Baba vako vari pakavanda; zvino Baba vako vanoona pakavanda vachakuripira pachena.
19 "Do not lay up stores of wealth for yourselves on earth, where the moth and wear-and-tear destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
Regai kuzviunganidzira fuma panyika, pane chifusi nengura zvinoodza, nepane mbavha dzinopaza dzichiba;
20 But amass wealth for yourselves in Heaven, where neither the moth nor wear-and-tear destroys, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
asi muzviunganidzire fuma kudenga, uko kusina chifusi kana ngura zvinoodza, naapo mbavha padzisingapazi kana kuba.
21 For where your wealth is, there also will your heart be.
Nokuti pane fuma yenyu, ndipo pachavawo nemoyo yenyu.
22 "The eye is the lamp of the body. If then your eyesight is good, your whole body will be well lighted;
Mwenje wemuviri iziso; naizvozvo kana ziso rako riri benyu, muviri wako wese uchazara nechiedza.
23 but if your eyesight is bad, your whole body will be dark. If however the very light within you is darkness, how dense must the darkness be!
Asi kana ziso rako rakaipa, muviri wako wese uchazara nerima. Naizvozvo kana chiedza chiri mauri chiri rima, rima iro iguru sei!
24 "No man can be the bondservant of two masters; for either he will dislike one and like the other, or he will attach himself to one and think slightingly of the other. You cannot be the bondservants both of God and of gold.
Hapana angashumira vatenzi vaviri; nokuti achavenga umwe, akada umwe; kana achanamatira umwe, akazvidza umwe. Hamungashumiri Mwari naMamona.
25 For this reason I charge you not to be over-anxious about your lives, inquiring what you are to eat or what you are to drink, nor yet about your bodies, inquiring what clothes you are to put on. Is not the life more precious than its food, and the body than its clothing?
Naizvozvo ndinoti kwamuri: Musafunganya pamusoro peupenyu hwenyu, zvamuchadya kana zvamuchanwa, kana pamusoro pemuviri wenyu, zvamuchapfeka. Upenyu hahupfuuri kudya here, nemuviri chipfeko?
26 Look at the birds which fly in the air: they do not sow or reap or store up in barns, but your Heavenly Father feeds them: are not you of much greater value than they?
Tarirai shiri dzedenga, nokuti hadzidzvari kana kukohwa kana kuunganidza mumatura, asi Baba venyu vekudenga vanodzirurira. Imwi hamudzipfuuri zvikuru here?
27 Which of you by being over-anxious can add a single foot to his height?
Ndiani kwamuri nekufunganya angawedzera mbimbi imwe paurefu hwake?
28 And why be anxious about clothing? Learn a lesson from the wild lilies. Watch their growth. They neither toil nor spin,
Nepamusoro pezvipfeko munofunganyirei? Nyatsorangarirai midovatova yenyika, inokura sei; haishingairi, hairuki;
29 and yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his magnificence could array himself like one of these.
asi ndinoti kwamuri: Kunyange Soromoni pakubwinya kwake kwese haana kupfekedzwa seimwe yeiyi.
30 And if God so clothes the wild herbage which to-day flourishes and to-morrow is thrown into the oven, is it not much more certain that He will clothe you, you men of little faith?
Zvino kana Mwari achifukidza saizvozvo uswa hwenyika, huripo nhasi, hunokandirwa muchoto mangwana, haangakufukidziyi nekupfuurisa here imwi verutendo rudiki?
31 Do not be over-anxious, therefore, asking 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'
Naizvozvo musafunganya, muchiti: Tichadyei? Kana: Tichanwei? Kana: Tichafukei?
32 For all these are questions that Gentiles are always asking; but your Heavenly Father knows that you need these things--all of them.
Nokuti izvozvi zvese vahedheni vanozvitsvaka, nokuti Baba venyu vekudenga vanoziva kuti munoshaiwa izvozvi zvese.
33 But make His Kingdom and righteousness your chief aim, and then these things shall all be given you in addition.
Asi tangai kutsvaka ushe hwaMwari, nekururama kwake, zvino izvozvi zvese zvichawedzerwa kwamuri.
34 Do not be over-anxious, therefore, about to-morrow, for to-morrow will bring its own cares. Enough for each day are its own troubles.
Naizvozvo musafunganyira mangwana, nokuti mangwana achazvifunganyira zvinhu zvawo. Zuva rakakwanirwa nezvakaipa zvaro.
