Mateo 5
1 Zvino akati aona vanhu vazhinji, akakwira mugomo uye akagara pasi. Vadzidzi vake vakauya kwaari,
But, seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain, —and, when he had taken a seat, his disciples came unto him;
2 uye akatanga kuvadzidzisa achiti:
and, opening his mouth, he began teaching them, saying: —
3 “Vakaropafadzwa varombo pamweya, nokuti umambo hwokudenga ndohwavo.
Happy, the destitute, in spirit; for, theirs, is the kingdom of the heavens;
4 Vakaropafadzwa vanochema nokuti vachanyaradzwa.
Happy, they who mourn; for, they, shall be comforted:
5 Vakaropafadzwa vanyoro nokuti vachagara nhaka yenyika.
Happy, the meek; for, they, shall inherit the earth:
6 Vakaropafadzwa avo vane nzara nenyota yokuita zvakarurama nokuti vachagutswa kwazvo.
Happy, they who hunger and thirst for righteousness; for, they, shall be filled:
7 Vakaropafadzwa vane tsitsi nokuti naivowo vachaitirwa tsitsi.
Happy, the merciful; for, they, shall receive mercy:
8 Vakaropafadzwa vakachena pamwoyo, nokuti vachaona Mwari.
Happy, the pure, in heart; for, they, shall, see God:
9 Vakaropafadzwa vanoyananisa nokuti vachanzi vana vaMwari.
Happy, the peacemakers; for, they, shall be, called sons of God:
10 Vakaropafadzwa vanotambudzwa nokuda kwokururama nokuti umambo hwokudenga ndohwavo.
Happy, they who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake; for, theirs, is the kingdom of the heavens.
11 “Makaropafadzwa imi kana vanhu vachikutukai, vachikutambudzai uye vachikupomerai zvakaipa zvose nokuda kwangu.
Happy, are ye, whensoever they may reproach you and persecute you, and say every evil thing against you, falsely, for my sake:
12 Farai mufarisise kwazvo nokuti mubayiro wenyu mukuru kudenga, nokuti nenzira imwe cheteyo vakatambudza vaprofita vakakutangirai.
Rejoice and exult, because, your reward, is great in the heavens; for, so, persecuted they 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.
Ye, are the salt of the earth; but, if the salt become tasteless, wherewith shall it be salted? it is good, for nothing, any more, save, being cast out, to be trampled on by men.
14 “Imi muri chiedza chenyika. Guta riri pamusoro pegomo haringavanziki.
Ye, are the light of the world: it is impossible for a city to be hid, on the top of a mountain, lying.
15 Uye vanhu havangatungidzi mwenje vagouisa pasi pedengu. Asi kutoti vanouisa pachigadziko kuti uvhenekere vose vari mumba.
Neither light they a lamp, and place it under the measure; but upon the lampstand, and it giveth light to all that are in the house.
16 Nenzira imwe cheteyo, chiedza chenyu ngachivhenekere pamberi pavanhu kuti vaone mabasa enyu akanaka, vagokudza Baba venyu vari kudenga.
In like manner, let your light shine before men, —that they may see your good works, —and glorify your Father who is in the heavens.
17 “Musafunga kuti ndakauya kuzoparadza Murayiro kana Vaprofita; handina kuuya kuzozviparadza asi kuzozvizadzisa.
Do not think, that I came to pull down the law, or the prophets, —I came not to pull down, but to fulfil.
18 Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, kuti kusvikira denga nenyika zvapfuura, hakuna vara duku sei kana chimwe chinhu chiduku sei chichabviswa paMurayiro, kusvikira zvose zvazadziswa.
For, verily, I say unto you, until the heaven and the earth shall pass away, one least letter, or one point, may in nowise pass away from the law, till all be 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.
Whosoever, therefore, shall relax one of these commandments, the least, and teach men so, shall be called, least, in the kingdom of the heavens; but, whosoever shall do and teach, the same, shall 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 unto you, that, unless your righteousness exceed that of the Scribes and Pharisees, in nowise, may ye enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
21 “Makanzwa zvakataurwa kune vanhu vekare zvichinzi, ‘Usauraya uye ani naani anouraya achatongwa.’
Ye have heard, that it was said, to them of olden time, —Thou shalt not commit murder, and, whosoever shall commit murder, shall be, liable, 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, say unto you, that, every one who is angry with his brother, shall be, liable, to judgment, —and, whosoever shall say to his brother, Worthless one!, shall be, liable, to the high council; and, whosoever shall say, Rebel!, shall be, liable, unto the fiery gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
23 “Naizvozvo kana wada kupa chipo chako paaritari, ukayeuka pakarepo kuti wakatadzira hama yako,
If, therefore, thou be bearing thy gift towards the altar, and, there, shouldst remember that, thy brother, hath aught against thee,
24 siya chipo chako ipapo pamberi pearitari. Tanga waenda undoyanana nehama yako, wozouya wopa chipo chako.
leave, there, thy gift before the altar, and withdraw, —first, be reconciled unto thy brother, and, then, coming, be offering thy 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 making agreement with thine adversary, quickly, while thou art with him, in the way, —lest once thine adversary deliver thee up unto the judge, and the judge, unto the officer, and, into prison, thou be cast.
26 Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti haungabudimo kusvikira waripa kamari kokupedzisira.
Verily, I say unto thee, In nowise, mayest thou come out from thence, until thou pay the last halfpenny.
27 “Makanzwa zvichinzi, ‘Usaita upombwe.’
Ye have heard, that it was said, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
28 Asi ini ndinoti kwamuri ani naani anotarisa mukadzi neziso roruchiva atoita upombwe naye mumwoyo make.
But, I, say unto you, that, Every one who looketh on a woman so as to covet her, already, hath 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)
And, if, thy right eye, is causing thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee, —for it profiteth thee, that, one of thy members, should perish, and not, thy whole body, be cast into gehenna. (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, thy right hand, is causing thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee, —for it profiteth thee, that, one of thy members, should perish, and not, thy whole body, into gehenna, depart. (Geenna g1067)
31 “Zvakanzi, ‘Ani naani anoramba mukadzi wake anofanira kumupa gwaro rokurambana.’
It was said, moreover, Whosoever shall divorce his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement;
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 unto you, that, Everyone who divorceth his wife—saving for unfaithfulness, causeth her to be made an adulteress, —[and, whosoever shall marry a divorced woman, committeth adultery].
33 “Makanzwa zvakare zvichitaurwa kuvanhu vekare kare zvichinzi, ‘Usatyora mhiko dzako, asi zadzisa mhiko dzose dzaunenge waita kuna Ishe.’
Again, ye have heard that it was said, to them of olden time, Thou shalt not swear falsely, —but shalt render unto the Lord, thine oaths.
34 Asi ndinokuudzai kuti, Musatongopika: kunyange nedenga nokuti ndiro chigaro chaMwari choumambo;
But, I, tell you—not to swear, at all: Neither by heaven, because it is the, throne of God, —
35 kana nenyika nokuti ndiyo chitsiko chetsoka dzake; kana neJerusarema nokuti ndiro guta raMambo Mukuru.
Nor by the earth, because it is his, footstool; 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, by thine own head, mayest thou swear, because thou art not able to 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, Yea, yea, —Nay, nay; and, what goeth beyond these, is, of evil.
38 “Makanzwa kuti zvakanzi, ‘Ziso rinotsiviwa neziso, uye zino rinotsiviwa nezino.’
Ye 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 evil, —Nay, whoever is smiting thee on the right cheek, turn to him, the other also;
40 Kana munhu akakukwirira kumatare achida kukutorera nguo yako, rega atorewo nejasi rako.
And, him who is desiring thee to be judged, and to take, thy tunic, let him have, thy mantle also.
41 Kana munhu akakumanikidza kufamba mutunhu mumwe chete, famba naye miviri.
And, whoever shall impress thee one mile, go with him two:
42 Kana munhu akakukumbira chinhu, mupe, uye usafuratira munhu anoda kukwereta kwauri.
To him who is asking thee, give; and, him who is desiring from thee to borrow, do not thou turn away.
43 “Makanzwa kuti zvakanzi, ‘Ida wokwako, uvenge muvengi wako.’
Ye have heard, that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 Asi ini ndinokuudzai kuti, Idai vavengi venyu, mugonyengeterera avo vanokutambudzai,
But, I, say unto you, Be loving your enemies, and praying for them who are persecuting 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 ye may become sons of your Father who is in the heavens: because, his sun, he maketh arise on evil and good, and sendeth rain, on just and unjust.
46 Kana mukangoda avo vanokudai, muchawana mubayiro wei? Vateresi havaiti zvimwe chetezvo here?
For, if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? are not, even the tax-collectors, the same thing, doing?
47 Kana muchingokwazisana nehama dzenyu bedzi, mungakunda vamwe pakudii? Ko, vasingatendi havaiti zvimwe chetezvo here?
And, if ye salute your brethren only, what, more than common, are ye doing? are not, even the nations, the same thing, doing?
48 Naizvozvo, ivai vakakwana, sezvo Baba venyu vari kudenga vari vakakwana.
Ye, therefore, shall become, perfect: as, your heavenly Father, is perfect.
