Mateo 19
1 Jesu akati apedza kutaura zvinhu izvi, akabva kuGarirea akaenda kudunhu reJudhea mhiri kwaJorodhani.
And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these words, he withdrew from Galilee, and came to the coasts of Judaea beyond the Jordan;
2 Vanhu vazhinji zhinji vakamutevera uye akavaporesa ikoko.
and great crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
3 Vamwe vaFarisi vakauya kwaari kuzomuedza. Vakamubvunza vachiti, “Zviri pamutemo here kuti murume arambe mukadzi wake nokuda kwechikonzero chipi nechipi zvacho?”
And the Pharisees came to him tempting him, and saying, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
4 Akavapindura achiti, “Hamuna kuverenga here kuti kubva pakutanga Musiki akavaita munhurume nomunhukadzi,
But he answering said [to them], Have ye not read that he who made [them], from the beginning made them male and female,
5 akati, ‘Nokuda kwaizvozvo murume achasiya baba namai vake agobatanidzwa nomukadzi wake, vaviri ava vachava nyama imwe chete?’
and said, On account of this a man shall leave father and mother, and shall be united to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh?
6 Saka havachisiri vaviri asi mumwe chete. Naizvozvo chabatanidzwa naMwari pamwe chete, hapana munhu anofanira kuchiparadzanisa.”
so that they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.
7 Vakabvunzazve vachiti, “Sei Mozisi akarayira kuti murume ape mukadzi wake rugwaro rwokumuramba obva amuendesa?”
They say to him, Why then did Moses command to give a letter of divorce and to send [her] away?
8 Jesu akapindura achiti, “Mozisi akakubvumirai kuramba vakadzi venyu nokuda kwoukukutu hwemwoyo yenyu. Asi zvainge zvisina kudaro kubva pakutanga.
He says to them, Moses, in view of your hardheartedness, allowed you to put away your wives; but from the beginning it was not thus.
9 Ndinokuudzai kuti ani naani anoramba mukadzi wake, kunze chete nokuda kwoupombwe, akazowana mumwe mukadzi, atoita upombwe.”
But I say unto you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, not for fornication, and shall marry another, commits adultery; and he who marries one put away commits adultery.
10 Vadzidzi vake vakati kwaari, “Kana ari iwo mamiriro azvakaita pakati pomurume nomukadzi, zviri nani kusawana.”
His disciples say to him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.
11 Jesu akapindura akati kwavari, “Haasi wose anogamuchira shoko iri, asi kune avo chete vakaripiwa.
And he said to them, All cannot receive this word, but those to whom it has been given;
12 Nokuti kune ngomwa dzakaberekwa dzakadaro; dzimwe dziriko dzakaitwa navanhu; dzimwe dzakazviita ngomwa nokuda kwoumambo hwokudenga. Uyo anogona kugamuchira shoko iri ngaarigamuchire.”
for there are eunuchs which have been born thus from [their] mother's womb; and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs of men; and there are eunuchs who have made eunuchs of themselves for the sake of the kingdom of the heavens. He that is able to receive [it], let him receive [it].
13 Ipapo vana vaduku vakauyiswa kuna Jesu kuti aise maoko ake pamusoro pavo, uye kuti avanyengeterere. Asi vadzidzi vakatsiura vaya vakanga vauya navo.
Then there were brought to him little children that he might lay his hands on them and pray; but the disciples rebuked them.
14 Jesu akati, “Regai vana vaduku vauye kwandiri, musavadzivisa, nokuti umambo hwokudenga ndohwavakadai.”
But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and do not hinder them from coming to me; for the kingdom of the heavens is of such:
15 Akati aisa maoko ake pamusoro pavo, akabva ipapo.
and having laid his hands upon them, he departed thence.
16 Zvino mumwe murume akauya kuna Jesu akamubvunza achiti, “Mudzidzisi, ndechipi chinhu chakanaka chandingaita kuti ndiwane upenyu husingaperi?” (aiōnios g166)
And lo, one coming up said to him, Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have life eternal? (aiōnios g166)
17 Jesu akati kwaari, “Unondibvunzireiko pamusoro pezvakanaka? Kunongova noMumwe chete akanaka. Kana uchida kupinda muupenyu, teerera mirayiro.”
And he said to him, What askest thou me concerning goodness? one is good. But if thou wouldest enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 Murume uya akabvunza achiti, “Ipiko?” Jesu akapindura akati, “‘Usauraya, usaita upombwe, usaba, usapupura nhema.
He says to him, Which? And Jesus said, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19 Kudza baba vako namai vako uye ude muvakidzani wako sokuzvida kwaunozviita iwe.’”
Honour thy father and thy mother, and Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
20 Jaya riya rakati, “Zvose ndakazvichengeta. Chii chandichiri kushayiwa?”
The young man says to him, All these have I kept; what lack I yet?
21 Jesu akati, “Kana uchida kuva wakakwana, enda unotengesa zvose zvaunazvo ugopa varombo, ugozova nepfuma kudenga. Ipapo ugouya wonditevera.”
Jesus said to him, If thou wouldest be perfect, go, sell what thou hast and give to [the] poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.
22 Jaya riya parakanzwa izvi, rakaenda rakasuwa kwazvo nokuti raiva nepfuma zhinji kwazvo.
But the young man, having heard the word, went away grieved, for he had large possessions.
23 Ipapo Jesu akati kuvadzidzi vake, “Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, zvakaoma kuti mupfumi apinde muumambo hwokudenga.
And Jesus said to his disciples, Verily I say unto you, A rich man shall with difficulty enter into the kingdom of the heavens;
24 Ndinotizve zvakareruka kuti ngamera ipinde nepaburi retsono pano kuti mupfumi apinde muumambo hwaMwari.”
and again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to enter a needle's eye than a rich man into the kingdom of God.
25 Vadzidzi vakati vanzwa izvi vakakatyamara zvikuru vakabvunza vachiti, “Ndiani zvino achaponeswa?”
And when the disciples heard [it] they were exceedingly astonished, saying, Who then can be saved?
26 Jesu akavatarisa akati, “Kuvanhu izvi hazvigoneki asi kuna Mwari zvinhu zvose zvinogoneka.”
But Jesus, looking on [them], said to them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
27 Petro akamupindura akati, “Takasiya zvose kuti tikuteverei! Zvino tichawaneiko?”
Then Peter answering said to him, Behold, we have left all things and have followed thee; what then shall happen to us?
28 Jesu akati kwavari, “Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, kuti pakuvandudzwa kwezvinhu zvose, Mwanakomana woMunhu paachagara pachigaro chake chokubwinya, imi makanditevera muchagarawo pazvigaro gumi nezviviri muchitonga marudzi gumi namaviri eIsraeri.
And Jesus said to them, Verily I say unto you, That ye who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit down upon his throne of glory, ye also shall sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 Uye vose vakasiya dzimba, kana vakoma kana vanunʼuna kana hanzvadzi kana baba kana mai kana vana kana minda nokuda kwangu vachagamuchira zvakapetwa kazana, uye vachagara nhaka youpenyu husingaperi. (aiōnios g166)
And every one who has left houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
30 Asi vazhinji vokutanga vachava vokupedzisira uye navazhinji vokupedzisira vachava vokutanga.
But many first shall be last, and last first.
