UMathewu 15
1 Kwasekufika kuJesu ababhali labaFarisi ababevela eJerusalema, bathi:
Ipapo kwakauya kuna Jesu vanyori neVaFarisi vachibva kuJerusarema vachiti:
2 Kungani abafundi bakho besephula isiko labadala? Ngoba kabagezi izandla zabo, nxa besidla isinkwa.
Sei vadzidzi venyu vachidarika tsika yevakuru? Nokuti havashambi maoko avo kana vachidya chingwa.
3 Kodwa waphendula wathi kubo: Lani-ke kungani lisephula umlayo kaNkulunkulu ngenxa yesiko lenu?
Asi akapindura akati kwavari: Nemhaka yei imwiwo muchidarika murairo waMwari nekuda kwetsika yenyu?
4 Ngoba uNkulunkulu walaya, wathi: Hlonipha uyihlo lonyoko; lokuthi: Othuka uyise kumbe unina kumele afe lokufa;
Nokuti Mwari wakaraira achiti: Kudza baba namai vako; uye kuti: Anotuka baba kana mai, anofanira kufa rufu.
5 kodwa lina lithi: Loba ngubani othi kuyise kumbe kunina: Kungumnikelo, loba yini evela kimi ingakusiza,
Asi imwi munoti: Ani nani anoti kuna baba kana kuna mai: Chipi nechipi chaungabatsirwa neni chibairo,
6 njalo engasoze amhloniphe uyise kumbe unina; ngalokho lenza umlayo kaNkulunkulu ube yize ngenxa yesiko lenu.
naizvozvo haatongokudzi baba vake kana mai vake; naizvozvo mashayisa murairo waMwari maturo netsika yenyu.
7 Bazenzisi, uIsaya waprofetha kuhle ngani, esithi:
Vanyepedzeri, Isaya wakaporofita zvakanaka pamusoro penyu achiti:
8 Lababantu basondela kimi ngomlomo wabo, langendebe bangidumise; kodwa inhliziyo yabo ikhatshana lami.
Vanhu ava vanoswedera kwandiri nemuromo wavo, vachindikudza nemiromo; asi moyo wavo uri kure neni.
9 Kodwa bangikhonza ngeze, befundisa izimfundiso eziyimilayo yabantu.
Asi vanondinamata pasina, vachidzidzisa dzidziso dziri mirairo yevanhu.
10 Esebizele kuye ixuku, wathi kilo: Lalelani futhi liqedisise.
Zvino akadanira chaunga kwaari, akati kwavari: Teererai munzwisise.
11 Kakusikho okungena emlonyeni okungcolisa umuntu; kodwa okuphuma emlonyeni, yikho okungcolisa umuntu.
Hazvisi zvinopinda mumuromo zvinosvibisa munhu; asi izvo zvinobuda mumuromo, ndizvo zvinosvibisa munhu.
12 Abafundi bakhe basebesondela bathi kuye: Uyazi yini ukuthi abaFarisi bathe ukulizwa lelilizwi bakhubeka?
Zvino vadzidzi vake vakaswedera vakati kwaari: Munoziva kuti VaFarisi vakati vachinzwa shoko iri vakagumbuka here?
13 Kodwa waphendula wathi: Sonke isihlahlakazana, uBaba osezulwini angasihlanyelanga, sizasitshunwa.
Asi wakapindura akati: Chinomera chimwe nechimwe Baba vangu vekudenga chavasina kudzvara chichadzurwa.
14 Bayekeleni; bangabakhokheli beziphofu abayiziphofu; njalo nxa isiphofu sikhokhela isiphofu, zizawela emgodini zombili.
Varegei; vatungamiriri vakapofumara vemapofu. Zvino kana bofu richitungamirira bofu, achawira mugomba ari maviri.
15 UPetro wasephendula wathi kuye: Sichasisele lumfanekiso.
Petro akapindura akati kwaari: Tidudzirei mufananidzo uyu.
16 UJesu wasesithi: Kanti lani lisengabangelakuqedisisa?
Zvino Jesu akati: Imwiwo muchiri vasinganzwisisi nhai?
17 Lilokhe lingaqedisisi yini, ukuthi konke okungena emlonyeni kuya esiswini, futhi kuyelahlelwa ngaphandle?
Nazvino hamunzwisisi here, kuti zvese zvinopinda mumuromo zvinoenda mudumbu, uye zvinoraswa kunze?
18 Kodwa izinto eziphuma emlonyeni zivela enhliziyweni; lezi ziyamngcolisa umuntu.
Asi zvinhu zvinobuda mumuromo zvinobva mumoyo; izvo zvinosvibisa munhu.
19 Ngoba enhliziyweni kuvela imicabango emibi, ukubulala, ubufebe, ukuphinga, ukweba, ukufakaza amanga, ukuhlambaza;
Nokuti mumoyo munobuda ndangariro dzakaipa, umhondi, ufeve, upombwe, umbavha, uchapupu hwenhema, kunyomba.
20 yizo lezozinto ezimngcolisayo umuntu; kodwa ukudla ngezandla ezingagezwanga kakumngcolisi umuntu.
Izvi ndizvo zvinosvibisa munhu; asi kudya nemaoko asina kushambwa hazvisvibisi munhu.
21 UJesu wasesuka lapho, waya kungxenye zeTire lezeSidoni.
Zvino Jesu wakabvapo akaenda kumiganhu yeTire neSidhoni.
22 Njalo khangela, owesifazana ongumKhanani ovela kuleyomikhawulo, wakhala kuye esithi: Nkosi, Ndodana kaDavida, akungihawukele! Indodakazi yami ihlaselwe kubi lidimoni.
Zvino tarira, mukadzi muKenani wakabva kumiganhu iyo akadanidzira kwaari achiti: Ndinzwirei tsitsi, Ishe, Mwanakomana waDhavhidhi; mukunda wangu wakabatwa zvakaipa nedhimoni.
23 Kodwa kamphendulanga ngalizwi. Basebesondela kuye abafundi bakhe bamncenga, bathi: Mxotshe, ngoba uyakhala ngemva kwethu.
Asi haana kumupindura shoko. Vadzidzi vake ndokuuya kwaari vakamukumbirisa vachiti: Muindisei, nokuti anodanidzira shure kwedu.
24 Kodwa waphendula wathi: Kangithunywanga, ngaphandle kuzo izimvu ezilahlekileyo zendlu yakoIsrayeli.
Asi wakapindura akati: Handina kutumwa zvimwe, kunze kwekumakwai akarasika eimba yaIsraeri.
25 Kodwa weza wamkhonza wathi: Nkosi, ngisize.
Zvino akauya akamunamata achiti: Ishe, ndibatsirei.
26 Kodwa waphendula wathi: Kakukuhle ukuthatha isinkwa sabantwana, lokusiphosela izinjana.
Asi wakapindura akati: Hazvina kunaka kutora chingwa chevana ndokukandira imbwanana.
27 Kodwa yena wathi: Yebo, Nkosi, kodwa lezinjana ziyadla okwemvuthuluka eziwa etafuleni labaninizo.
Asi iye akati: Hongu, Ishe, asi nembwanana dzinodya zvezvimedu zvinowa patafura yavatenzi vadzo.
28 UJesu wasephendula wathi kuye: O mama, lukhulu ukholo lwakho! Kakube kuwe njengokuthanda kwakho. Indodakazi yakhe yasisila kusukela kulelohola.
Zvino Jesu akapindura akati kwaari: Haiwa mukadzi, rutendo rwako rukuru! Ngazvive kwauri sezvaunoda. Mukunda wake akaporeswa kubva panguva iyo.
29 UJesu wasesuka lapho weza eduzane kolwandle lweGalili; wenyukela entabeni wahlala phansi khona.
Jesu ndokubva ipapo akauya parutivi rwegungwa reGarirea; akakwira mugomo, akagara ipapo.
30 Kwasekusiza kuye amaxuku amakhulu, beleziqhuli, iziphofu, izimungulu, izingini, labanye abanengi, basebebaphosela enyaweni zikaJesu, wasebasilisa;
Zvino zvaunga zvikuru zvakauya kwaari zvine mhetamakumbo, mapofu, zvimumumu, zvirema, nevamwe vazhinji, vakavakanda patsoka dzaJesu; akavaporesa;
31 aze amangala amaxuku, ebona izimungulu zikhuluma, izingini ziphilile, iziqhuli zihamba, leziphofu zibona; basebemdumisa uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli.
zvekuti zvaunga zvakashamisika zvichiona zvimumumu zvichitaura, zvirema zvakagwinya, vanokamhina vachifamba, nemapofu achiona; vakarumbidza Mwari waIsraeri.
32 UJesu wasebizela kuye abafundi bakhe wathi: Ngilesihelo ngexuku, ngoba sebelami insuku ezintathu, bengelalutho lokudla; njalo kangithandi ukuthi ngibayekele bahambe bengadlanga, hlezi bayathe endleleni.
Jesu ndokudanira vadzidzi vake kwaari akati: Ndinonzwa tsitsi nechaunga, nokuti vakagara neni zvino mazuva matatu vasina chinhu chekudya, uye handidi kuvaindisa vasina kudya, zvimwe vangaziya panzira.
33 Abafundi bakhe basebesithi kuye: Sizazuza ngaphi enkangala izinkwa ezinengi kangaka, ukuthi zisuthise ixuku elikhulu kangaka?
Vadzidzi vake ndokuti kwaari: Tichawanepi zvingwa zvakawanda zvakadaro murenje, kuti tigutise chaunga chikuru chakadai?
34 UJesu wasesithi kubo: Lilezinkwa ezingaki? Basebesithi: Eziyisikhombisa, lenhlanzana ezinlutshwana.
Jesu ndokuti kwavari: Mune zvingwa zvingani? Vakati: Zvinomwe, nehove diki shomanene.
35 Waselaya amaxuku ukuthi ahlale phansi emhlabathini.
Ndokuraira zvaunga kuti zvigare pasi pavhu.
36 Wasethatha izinkwa eziyisikhombisa lenhlanzi, esebongile wazihlephula, wazinika abafundi bakhe, labafundi ixuku.
Akatora zvingwa zvinomwe nehove, akavonga, akamedura, ndokupa vadzidzi vake, vadzidzi vakapa chaunga.
37 Basebesidla bonke basutha; basebedobha imvuthu ezazisele, izitsha eziyisikhombisa zigcwele.
Vakadya vese vakaguta; vakanonga zvimedu zvakasara, matengu manomwe azere.
38 Lalabo abadlayo babengamadoda azinkulungwane ezine, ngaphandle kwabesifazana labantwana.
Zvino avo vakadya vakange vari varume zvuru zvina pasina vakadzi nevana.
39 Eseyekele amaxuku ahamba wangena emkhunjini, weza emikhawulweni yeMagadala.
Zvino wakati aregera zvaunga zvichienda, akapinda muchikepe, akasvika kumiganhu yeMagidhara.
