Mateo 5
1 Zvino akati aona vanhu vazhinji, akakwira mugomo uye akagara pasi. Vadzidzi vake vakauya kwaari,
Now seeing the crowds He went up on the mountain, and upon His sitting down His disciples approached Him.
2 uye akatanga kuvadzidzisa achiti:
And opening His mouth He started teaching them, saying:
3 “Vakaropafadzwa varombo pamweya, nokuti umambo hwokudenga ndohwavo.
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of the heavens.
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 hungering and thirsting 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 have been persecuted on account of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of the heavens.
11 “Makaropafadzwa imi kana vanhu vachikutukai, vachikutambudzai uye vachikupomerai zvakaipa zvose nokuda kwangu.
“Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and speak all kinds of evil against you, lying, because of Me.
12 Farai mufarisise kwazvo nokuti mubayiro wenyu mukuru kudenga, nokuti nenzira imwe cheteyo vakatambudza vaprofita vakakutangirai.
Rejoice and exult, because your reward in the heavens is great, for so they persecuted the prophets who were 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 becomes insipid with what will it be salted? It is then good for nothing except to be thrown out and trampled down by the people.
14 “Imi muri chiedza chenyika. Guta riri pamusoro pegomo haringavanziki.
You are the light of the world. A city located upon a hill cannot be hidden.
15 Uye vanhu havangatungidzi mwenje vagouisa pasi pedengu. Asi kutoti vanouisa pachigadziko kuti uvhenekere vose vari mumba.
Nor do they light a lamp and place it under the hamper, but on the lampstand, and it shines on everything in the house.
16 Nenzira imwe cheteyo, chiedza chenyu ngachivhenekere pamberi pavanhu kuti vaone mabasa enyu akanaka, vagokudza Baba venyu vari kudenga.
So also let your light shine before the people, so that they may see your good works and may glorify your Father, who is in the heavens.
17 “Musafunga kuti ndakauya kuzoparadza Murayiro kana Vaprofita; handina kuuya kuzozviparadza asi kuzozvizadzisa.
“Do not suppose that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.
18 Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, kuti kusvikira denga nenyika zvapfuura, hakuna vara duku sei kana chimwe chinhu chiduku sei chichabviswa paMurayiro, kusvikira zvose zvazadziswa.
For assuredly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one iota nor one tittle shall pass away from the Law until everything happens.
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.
Therefore, whoever annuls one of the least of these commandments and teaches that to the people will be called least in the kingdom of the heavens; but whoever does and teaches them, he will be called great in the kingdom of the heavens.
20 Nokuti ndinokuudzai zvirokwazvo kuti kana kururama kwenyu kukasapfuura kwavaFarisi nokwavadzidzisi vemirayiro, zvirokwazvo hamungapindi muumambo hwokudenga.
For I say to you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees you will absolutely not enter the kingdom of the heavens!
21 “Makanzwa zvakataurwa kune vanhu vekare zvichinzi, ‘Usauraya uye ani naani anouraya achatongwa.’
“You have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘You shall not murder, so whoever murders will be liable to the 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 say to you that whoever gets angry with his brother without cause will be liable to the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Numbskull!’ will be liable to the council. But whoever says, ‘You absolute idiot!’ will be liable to hell fire. (Geenna g1067)
23 “Naizvozvo kana wada kupa chipo chako paaritari, ukayeuka pakarepo kuti wakatadzira hama yako,
Therefore, if you bring your gift to 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 and go; first be reconciled with your brother and then, returning, 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.
Be agreeable to your adversary quickly, while you are on the way with him, lest the adversary hand you over to the judge, and the judge hand you over to the officer, and you be thrown into prison.
26 Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti haungabudimo kusvikira waripa kamari kokupedzisira.
Assuredly I say to you, you will by no means get out of there until you have paid the last penny.
27 “Makanzwa zvichinzi, ‘Usaita upombwe.’
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’
28 Asi ini ndinoti kwamuri ani naani anotarisa mukadzi neziso roruchiva atoita upombwe naye mumwoyo make.
But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for 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)
So if your right eye is causing you to fall, tear it out and throw it away; because it is better for you that one of your members perish than that your whole body 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 is causing you to fall, cut it off and throw it away; because it is better for you that one of your members perish than that your whole body be thrown into hell. (Geenna g1067)
31 “Zvakanzi, ‘Ani naani anoramba mukadzi wake anofanira kumupa gwaro rokurambana.’
It was said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him 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 say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except for a case of fornication, causes her to commit adultery, and whoever 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: ‘You shall not swear falsely, but you shall perform your oaths to the Lord.’
34 Asi ndinokuudzai kuti, Musatongopika: kunyange nedenga nokuti ndiro chigaro chaMwari choumambo;
But I say to you not to swear at all: neither by heaven, because it is God's throne;
35 kana nenyika nokuti ndiyo chitsiko chetsoka dzake; kana neJerusarema nokuti ndiro guta raMambo Mukuru.
nor by the earth, because it is a stool for His feet; nor by Jerusalem, because 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 shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black.
37 Hongu yako ngaingova ‘Hongu’, ne‘Kwete’ yako ive ‘Kwete’; zvimwe zvinopfuura izvi zvinobva kuno wakaipa.
But let your word be ‘yes yes’, ‘no no’; for whatever is more than these is from the malignant one.
38 “Makanzwa kuti zvakanzi, ‘Ziso rinotsiviwa neziso, uye zino rinotsiviwa nezino.’
“You have heard that it was said: ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’
39 Asi ndinokuudzai kuti, Musadzivisa munhu akaipa. Kana munhu akakurova padama rorudyi, murinzire roruboshwewo.
But I say to you not to resist the evildoer; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.
40 Kana munhu akakukwirira kumatare achida kukutorera nguo yako, rega atorewo nejasi rako.
“And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have the cloak as well.
41 Kana munhu akakumanikidza kufamba mutunhu mumwe chete, famba naye miviri.
And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.
42 Kana munhu akakukumbira chinhu, mupe, uye usafuratira munhu anoda kukwereta kwauri.
Give to him who asks you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you.
43 “Makanzwa kuti zvakanzi, ‘Ida wokwako, uvenge muvengi wako.’
“You have heard that it was said: ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’
44 Asi ini ndinokuudzai kuti, Idai vavengi venyu, mugonyengeterera avo vanokutambudzai,
But I say to you: love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and 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 prove to be sons of your Father in the heavens; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and He sends rain on the just and the unjust.
46 Kana mukangoda avo vanokudai, muchawana mubayiro wei? Vateresi havaiti zvimwe chetezvo here?
For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the 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 friends, what are you doing extra? Do not even the tax collectors do so?
48 Naizvozvo, ivai vakakwana, sezvo Baba venyu vari kudenga vari vakakwana.
Therefore, you be perfect just as your Father in the heavens is perfect.
