Mateo 19
1 Jesu akati apedza kutaura zvinhu izvi, akabva kuGarirea akaenda kudunhu reJudhea mhiri kwaJorodhani.
When Jesus had finished these discourses, He removed from Galilee and came into that part of Judaea which lay beyond the Jordan.
2 Vanhu vazhinji zhinji vakamutevera uye akavaporesa ikoko.
And a vast multitude followed him, and He cured them there.
3 Vamwe vaFarisi vakauya kwaari kuzomuedza. Vakamubvunza vachiti, “Zviri pamutemo here kuti murume arambe mukadzi wake nokuda kwechikonzero chipi nechipi zvacho?”
Then came some of the Pharisees to Him to put Him to the proof by the question, "Has a man a right to divorce his wife whenever he chooses?"
4 Akavapindura achiti, “Hamuna kuverenga here kuti kubva pakutanga Musiki akavaita munhurume nomunhukadzi,
"Have you not read," He replied, "that He who made them 'made them' from the beginning 'male and female,
5 akati, ‘Nokuda kwaizvozvo murume achasiya baba namai vake agobatanidzwa nomukadzi wake, vaviri ava vachava nyama imwe chete?’
and said, For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two shall be one'?
6 Saka havachisiri vaviri asi mumwe chete. Naizvozvo chabatanidzwa naMwari pamwe chete, hapana munhu anofanira kuchiparadzanisa.”
Thus they are no longer two, but 'one'! 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?”
"Why then," said they, "did Moses command the husband to give her 'a written notice of divorce,' and so put her away?"
8 Jesu akapindura achiti, “Mozisi akakubvumirai kuramba vakadzi venyu nokuda kwoukukutu hwemwoyo yenyu. Asi zvainge zvisina kudaro kubva pakutanga.
"Moses," He replied, "in consideration of the hardness of your nature permitted you to put away your wives, but it has not been so from the beginning.
9 Ndinokuudzai kuti ani naani anoramba mukadzi wake, kunze chete nokuda kwoupombwe, akazowana mumwe mukadzi, atoita upombwe.”
And I tell you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except her unfaithfulness, and marries another woman, commits adultery."
10 Vadzidzi vake vakati kwaari, “Kana ari iwo mamiriro azvakaita pakati pomurume nomukadzi, zviri nani kusawana.”
"If this is the case with a man in relation to his wife," said the disciples to Him, "it is better not to marry."
11 Jesu akapindura akati kwavari, “Haasi wose anogamuchira shoko iri, asi kune avo chete vakaripiwa.
"It is not every man," He replied, "who can receive this teaching, but only those on whom the grace has been bestowed.
12 Nokuti kune ngomwa dzakaberekwa dzakadaro; dzimwe dziriko dzakaitwa navanhu; dzimwe dzakazviita ngomwa nokuda kwoumambo hwokudenga. Uyo anogona kugamuchira shoko iri ngaarigamuchire.”
There are men who from their birth have been disabled from marriage, others who have been so disabled by men, and others who have disabled themselves for the sake of the Kingdom of the Heavens. He who is able to receive this, 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 young children were brought to Him for Him to put His hands on them and pray; but the disciples interfered.
14 Jesu akati, “Regai vana vaduku vauye kwandiri, musavadzivisa, nokuti umambo hwokudenga ndohwavakadai.”
Jesus however said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them; for it is to those who are childlike that the Kingdom of the Heavens belongs."
15 Akati aisa maoko ake pamusoro pavo, akabva ipapo.
So He laid His hands upon them and went away.
16 Zvino mumwe murume akauya kuna Jesu akamubvunza achiti, “Mudzidzisi, ndechipi chinhu chakanaka chandingaita kuti ndiwane upenyu husingaperi?” (aiōnios g166)
"Teacher," said one man, coming up to Him, "what that is good shall I do in order to win the Life of the Ages?" (aiōnios g166)
17 Jesu akati kwaari, “Unondibvunzireiko pamusoro pezvakanaka? Kunongova noMumwe chete akanaka. Kana uchida kupinda muupenyu, teerera mirayiro.”
"Why do you ask me," He replied, "about what is good? There is only One who is truly good. But if you desire to enter into Life, keep the Commandments."
18 Murume uya akabvunza achiti, “Ipiko?” Jesu akapindura akati, “‘Usauraya, usaita upombwe, usaba, usapupura nhema.
"Which Commandments?" he asked. Jesus answered, "'Thou shalt not kill;' 'Thou shalt not commit adultery;' 'Thou shalt not steal;' 'Thou shalt not lie in giving evidence;'
19 Kudza baba vako namai vako uye ude muvakidzani wako sokuzvida kwaunozviita iwe.’”
'Honour thy father and thy mother'; and 'Thou shalt love thy fellow man as much as thyself.'"
20 Jaya riya rakati, “Zvose ndakazvichengeta. Chii chandichiri kushayiwa?”
"All of these," said the young man, "I have carefully kept. What do I still lack?"
21 Jesu akati, “Kana uchida kuva wakakwana, enda unotengesa zvose zvaunazvo ugopa varombo, ugozova nepfuma kudenga. Ipapo ugouya wonditevera.”
"If you desire to be perfect," replied Jesus, "go and sell all that you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have wealth in Heaven; and come, follow me."
22 Jaya riya parakanzwa izvi, rakaenda rakasuwa kwazvo nokuti raiva nepfuma zhinji kwazvo.
On hearing those words the young man went away much cast down; for he had much property.
23 Ipapo Jesu akati kuvadzidzi vake, “Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, zvakaoma kuti mupfumi apinde muumambo hwokudenga.
So Jesus said to His disciples, "I solemnly tell you that it is with difficulty that a rich man will enter the Kingdom of the Heavens.
24 Ndinotizve zvakareruka kuti ngamera ipinde nepaburi retsono pano kuti mupfumi apinde muumambo hwaMwari.”
Yes, I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God."
25 Vadzidzi vakati vanzwa izvi vakakatyamara zvikuru vakabvunza vachiti, “Ndiani zvino achaponeswa?”
These words utterly amazed the disciples, and they asked, "Who then can be saved?"
26 Jesu akavatarisa akati, “Kuvanhu izvi hazvigoneki asi kuna Mwari zvinhu zvose zvinogoneka.”
Jesus looked at them and said, "With men this is impossible, but with God everything is possible."
27 Petro akamupindura akati, “Takasiya zvose kuti tikuteverei! Zvino tichawaneiko?”
Then Peter said to Jesus, "See, we have forsaken everything and followed you; what then will be our reward?"
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.
"I solemnly tell you," replied Jesus, "that in the New Creation, when the Son of Man has taken His seat on His glorious throne, all of you who have followed me shall also sit on twelve thrones and judge 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 whoever has forsaken houses, or brothers or sisters, or father or mother, or children or lands, for my sake, shall receive many times as much and shall have as his inheritance the Life of the Ages. (aiōnios g166)
30 Asi vazhinji vokutanga vachava vokupedzisira uye navazhinji vokupedzisira vachava vokutanga.
"But many who are now first will be last, and many who are now last will be first.
