Mateo 7
1 “Usatonga kuti newewo urege kutongwa.
Judge not, that you may not be judged,
2 Nokuti nzira yaunotonga nayo vamwe ndiyo yauchatongwa nayo, uye chiero chaunoshandisa ndicho chichashandiswa kwauri.
For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3 “Unotarisirei kabanzu kari muziso rehama yako, asi usina hanya nepuranga riri muziso rako?
Any why seest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye; and seest not the beam that is in thy own eye?
4 Ungati sei kuhama yako, ‘Rega ndibvise kabanzu kari muziso rako,’ asi iwe nguva dzose uine puranga riri muziso rako?
Or how sayest thou to thy brother: Let me cast the mote out of thy eye; and behold a beam is in thy own eye?
5 Iwe munyengeri, tanga wabvisa puranga riri muziso rako, ipapo unozoona zvakanaka kuti ukwanise kubvisa kabanzu kari muziso rehama yako.
Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam in thy own eye, and then shalt thou see to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.
6 “Musapa imbwa zvinhu zvitsvene, uye musakanda maparera enyu kunguruve. Kana mukadaro, dzinogona kuatsika-tsika pasi petsoka, uye ipapo dzikazokutendeukirai dzokubvambura-bvamburai.
Give not that which is holy to dogs; neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turning upon you, they tear you.
7 “Kumbirai mugopiwa, tsvakai mugowana, gogodzai mugozarurirwa.
Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and you shall find: knock, and it shall be opened to you.
8 Nokuti munhu wose anokumbira anopiwa, anotsvaka anowana; uye anogogodza anozarurirwa musiwo.
For every one that asketh, receiveth: and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.
9 “Ndiani pakati penyu angati kana mwanakomana wake akamukumbira chingwa, omupa ibwe?
Or what man is there among you, of whom if his son shall ask bread, will he reach him a stone?
10 Kana kuti akakumbira hove iye omupa nyoka?
Or if he shall ask him a fish, will he reach him a serpent?
11 Zvino imi, kunyange zvenyu makaipa, muchiziva kupa zvipo zvakanaka kuvana venyu, Baba venyu vari kudenga vachapa zvipo zvakanaka sei kuna avo vanokumbira!
If you then being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children: how much more will your Father who is in heaven, give good things to them that ask him?
12 Saka muzvinhu zvose itirai vamwe zvamunoda kuti vakuitirei imi, nokuti izvi ndizvo Murayiro naVaprofita.
All things therefore whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do you also to them. For this is the law and the prophets.
13 “Pindai napasuo rakamanikana nokuti suo rakafara nenzira yakapamhama zvinotungamirira kukuparadzwa, uye vazhinji vanopinda naro.
Enter ye in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in thereat.
14 Asi suo duku nenzira yakamanikana ndizvo zvinotungamirira kuupenyu, uye vashoma chete, ndivo vanozviwana.
How narrow is the gate, and strait is the way that leadeth to life: and few there are that find it!
15 “Chenjererai vaprofita venhema, vanouya kwamuri vakapfeka matehwe emakwai asi mukati mavo vari mapere anoparadza.
Beware of false prophets, who come to you in the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Muchavaziva nemichero yavo. Vanhu vanganhonga mazambiringa pamuti weminzwa here, kana maonde parukato?
By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Saizvozvo muti wose wakanaka unobereka michero yakanaka, muti wakaipa unobereka michero yakaipa.
Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, and the evil tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 Muti wakanaka haungabereki michero yakaipa, nemuti wakaipa haungabereki michero yakanaka.
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can an evil tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Muti wose usingabereki michero yakanaka unotemwa uye ugokandwa mumoto.
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down, and shall be cast into the fire.
20 Naizvozvo muchavaziva nemichero yavo.
Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them.
21 “Havasi vose vanoti kwandiri, ‘Ishe, Ishe’ vachapinda muushe hwokudenga, asi uyo chete anoita kuda kwaBaba vangu vari kudenga.
Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.
22 Vazhinji pazuva iro vachati kwandiri, ‘Ishe, Ishe, ko, hatina kuprofita muzita renyuwo here, uye muzita renyu tikadzinga madhimoni, tikaita zvishamiso?’
Many will say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, have not we prophesied in thy name, and cast out devils in thy name, and done many miracles in thy name?
23 Ipapo ndichavaudza pachena kuti, ‘Handina kutombokuzivai. Ibvai zvenyu pandiri, imi vaiti vezvakaipa!’
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.
24 “Naizvozvo munhu anonzwa mashoko angu aya, uye akaaita, akafanana nemurume akachenjera uyo akavaka imba yake paruware.
Every one therefore that heareth these my words, and doth them, shall be likened to a wise man that built his house upon a rock,
25 Mvura yakanaya, nzizi dzikazara, uye dutu remhepo rakauya rikarova imba iya, asi haina kuputsika, nokuti hwaro hwayo hwaiva paruware.
And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell not, for it was founded on a rock.
26 Asi munhu wose anonzwa mashoko angu aya akasaaita, akafanana nomurume benzi akavakira imba yake mujecha.
And every one that heareth these my words, and doth them not, shall be like a foolish man that built his house upon the sand,
27 Mvura yakanaya, nzizi dzikazara, uye dutu remhepo rakauya rikarova imba iya ikawa nokuwa kukuru.”
And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall thereof.
28 Jesu akati apedza kutaura zvinhu izvi vazhinji vaivapo vakashamiswa nokudzidzisa kwake,
And it came to pass when Jesus had fully ended these words, the people were in admiration at his doctrine.
29 nokuti akadzidzisa somurume aiva nesimba kwete samadzidzisiro aiitwa navadzidzisi vavo vomurayiro.
For he was teaching them as one having power, and not as the scribes and Pharisees.
