Mateo 5
1 Zvino akati aona vanhu vazhinji, akakwira mugomo uye akagara pasi. Vadzidzi vake vakauya kwaari,
When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain and sat down. His disciples came to Him,
2 uye akatanga kuvadzidzisa achiti:
and He began to teach them, saying:
3 “Vakaropafadzwa varombo pamweya, nokuti umambo hwokudenga ndohwavo.
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Vakaropafadzwa vanochema nokuti vachanyaradzwa.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
5 Vakaropafadzwa vanyoro nokuti vachagara nhaka yenyika.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
6 Vakaropafadzwa avo vane nzara nenyota yokuita zvakarurama nokuti vachagutswa kwazvo.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
7 Vakaropafadzwa vane tsitsi nokuti naivowo vachaitirwa tsitsi.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
8 Vakaropafadzwa vakachena pamwoyo, nokuti vachaona Mwari.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
9 Vakaropafadzwa vanoyananisa nokuti vachanzi vana vaMwari.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.
10 Vakaropafadzwa vanotambudzwa nokuda kwokururama nokuti umambo hwokudenga ndohwavo.
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Makaropafadzwa imi kana vanhu vachikutukai, vachikutambudzai uye vachikupomerai zvakaipa zvose nokuda kwangu.
Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.
12 Farai mufarisise kwazvo nokuti mubayiro wenyu mukuru kudenga, nokuti nenzira imwe cheteyo vakatambudza vaprofita vakakutangirai.
Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets before you.
13 “Imi muri munyu wenyika. Asi kana munyu usisavavi ungavaviswe nei? Hauchabatsiri chinhu, kunze kwokuti uraswe ugotsikwa zvawo navanhu.
You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its savor, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.
14 “Imi muri chiedza chenyika. Guta riri pamusoro pegomo haringavanziki.
You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.
15 Uye vanhu havangatungidzi mwenje vagouisa pasi pedengu. Asi kutoti vanouisa pachigadziko kuti uvhenekere vose vari mumba.
Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket. Instead, they set it on a stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.
16 Nenzira imwe cheteyo, chiedza chenyu ngachivhenekere pamberi pavanhu kuti vaone mabasa enyu akanaka, vagokudza Baba venyu vari kudenga.
In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
17 “Musafunga kuti ndakauya kuzoparadza Murayiro kana Vaprofita; handina kuuya kuzozviparadza asi kuzozvizadzisa.
Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them.
18 Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, kuti kusvikira denga nenyika zvapfuura, hakuna vara duku sei kana chimwe chinhu chiduku sei chichabviswa paMurayiro, kusvikira zvose zvazadziswa.
For I tell you truly, until heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.
19 Asi ani naani anotyora mumwe chete wemirayiro miduku iyi uye achizodzidzisawo vamwe kuita zvimwe chetezvo achanzi muduku muumambo hwokudenga. Asi ani naani anochengeta uye anodzidzisa mirayiro iyi, achanzi mukuru muumambo hwokudenga.
So then, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do likewise will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever practices and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 Nokuti ndinokuudzai zvirokwazvo kuti kana kururama kwenyu kukasapfuura kwavaFarisi nokwavadzidzisi vemirayiro, zvirokwazvo hamungapindi muumambo hwokudenga.
For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
21 “Makanzwa zvakataurwa kune vanhu vekare zvichinzi, ‘Usauraya uye ani naani anouraya achatongwa.’
You have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not murder’ and ‘Anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’
22 Asi ini ndinokuudzai kuti ani naani anotsamwira hama yake achatongwa. Uyezve ani naani anoti, ‘Raka’ kuhama yake achamiswa pamberi pedare ravatongi. Asizve ani naani anoti kuhama yake, ‘Iwe benzi!’ achapara mhosva yokuti atongerwe moto wegehena. (Geenna g1067)
But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, ‘Raca,’ will be subject to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be subject to the fire of hell. (Geenna g1067)
23 “Naizvozvo kana wada kupa chipo chako paaritari, ukayeuka pakarepo kuti wakatadzira hama yako,
So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you,
24 siya chipo chako ipapo pamberi pearitari. Tanga waenda undoyanana nehama yako, wozouya wopa chipo chako.
leave your gift there before the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.
25 “Kurumidza kutenderana nomudzivisi wako uyo ari kukuendesa kudare. Ita izvi uchiri munzira naye, kana kuti angangokuisa kumutongi uye mutongi agokuisa kumutariri, uye ugokandwa mutorongo.
Reconcile quickly with your adversary, while you are still on the way to court. Otherwise, he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison.
26 Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti haungabudimo kusvikira waripa kamari kokupedzisira.
Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.
27 “Makanzwa zvichinzi, ‘Usaita upombwe.’
You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’
28 Asi ini ndinoti kwamuri ani naani anotarisa mukadzi neziso roruchiva atoita upombwe naye mumwoyo make.
But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
29 Kana ziso rako rorudyi richikuita kuti utadze, ribvise urirase. Zviri nani kwauri kuti urasikirwe nomumwe mutezo womuviri wako pano kuti muviri wako wose ukandwe mugehena. (Geenna g1067)
If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. (Geenna g1067)
30 Uye kana ruoko rwako rworudyi ruchikuita kuti utadze, rucheke ururase. Zviri nani kwauri kuti urasikirwe nomumwe mutezo womuviri wako, pano kuti muviri wako wose uende kugehena. (Geenna g1067)
And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to depart into hell. (Geenna g1067)
31 “Zvakanzi, ‘Ani naani anoramba mukadzi wake anofanira kumupa gwaro rokurambana.’
It has also been said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’
32 Asi ndinokuudzai kuti ani naani anoramba mukadzi wake kunze kwemhosva yokusatendeka muwaniso anomuitisa upombwe, uye ani naani anowana mukadzi akarambwa anoita upombwe.
But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, brings adultery upon her. And he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
33 “Makanzwa zvakare zvichitaurwa kuvanhu vekare kare zvichinzi, ‘Usatyora mhiko dzako, asi zadzisa mhiko dzose dzaunenge waita kuna Ishe.’
Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.’
34 Asi ndinokuudzai kuti, Musatongopika: kunyange nedenga nokuti ndiro chigaro chaMwari choumambo;
But I tell you not to swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;
35 kana nenyika nokuti ndiyo chitsiko chetsoka dzake; kana neJerusarema nokuti ndiro guta raMambo Mukuru.
or by the earth, for it is His footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.
36 Uye usapika nomusoro wako nokuti haugoni kuita kuti bvudzi rimwe chete rive jena kana dema.
Nor should you swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black.
37 Hongu yako ngaingova ‘Hongu’, ne‘Kwete’ yako ive ‘Kwete’; zvimwe zvinopfuura izvi zvinobva kuno wakaipa.
Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ Anything more comes from the evil one.
38 “Makanzwa kuti zvakanzi, ‘Ziso rinotsiviwa neziso, uye zino rinotsiviwa nezino.’
You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.’
39 Asi ndinokuudzai kuti, Musadzivisa munhu akaipa. Kana munhu akakurova padama rorudyi, murinzire roruboshwewo.
But I tell you not to resist an evil person. If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also;
40 Kana munhu akakukwirira kumatare achida kukutorera nguo yako, rega atorewo nejasi rako.
if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well;
41 Kana munhu akakumanikidza kufamba mutunhu mumwe chete, famba naye miviri.
and if someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.
42 Kana munhu akakukumbira chinhu, mupe, uye usafuratira munhu anoda kukwereta kwauri.
Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.
43 “Makanzwa kuti zvakanzi, ‘Ida wokwako, uvenge muvengi wako.’
You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor’ and ‘Hate your enemy.’
44 Asi ini ndinokuudzai kuti, Idai vavengi venyu, mugonyengeterera avo vanokutambudzai,
But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
45 kuitira kuti mugova vana vaBaba venyu vari kudenga. Ivo vanoita kuti zuva ravo ribude pane vakaipa nevakanaka uye vanonayisa mvura yavo pane vakarurama nevasakarurama.
that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
46 Kana mukangoda avo vanokudai, muchawana mubayiro wei? Vateresi havaiti zvimwe chetezvo here?
If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Do not even tax collectors do the same?
47 Kana muchingokwazisana nehama dzenyu bedzi, mungakunda vamwe pakudii? Ko, vasingatendi havaiti zvimwe chetezvo here?
And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even Gentiles do the same?
48 Naizvozvo, ivai vakakwana, sezvo Baba venyu vari kudenga vari vakakwana.
Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
