Mateo 7
1 “Usatonga kuti newewo urege kutongwa.
Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 Nokuti nzira yaunotonga nayo vamwe ndiyo yauchatongwa nayo, uye chiero chaunoshandisa ndicho chichashandiswa kwauri.
For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3 “Unotarisirei kabanzu kari muziso rehama yako, asi usina hanya nepuranga riri muziso rako?
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Ungati sei kuhama yako, ‘Rega ndibvise kabanzu kari muziso rako,’ asi iwe nguva dzose uine puranga riri muziso rako?
Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam [is] in thine own eye?
5 Iwe munyengeri, tanga wabvisa puranga riri muziso rako, ipapo unozoona zvakanaka kuti ukwanise kubvisa kabanzu kari muziso rehama yako.
Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly 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 unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
7 “Kumbirai mugopiwa, tsvakai mugowana, gogodzai mugozarurirwa.
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto 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 of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
10 Kana kuti akakumbira hove iye omupa nyoka?
Or if he ask a fish, will he give 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 ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which 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.
Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so 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 strait gate: for wide [is] the gate, and broad [is] the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Asi suo duku nenzira yakamanikana ndizvo zvinotungamirira kuupenyu, uye vashoma chete, ndivo vanozviwana.
Because strait [is] the gate, and narrow [is] the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
15 “Chenjererai vaprofita venhema, vanouya kwamuri vakapfeka matehwe emakwai asi mukati mavo vari mapere anoparadza.
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Muchavaziva nemichero yavo. Vanhu vanganhonga mazambiringa pamuti weminzwa here, kana maonde parukato?
Ye shall know them by their fruits. 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; but a corrupt 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] a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Muti wose usingabereki michero yakanaka unotemwa uye ugokandwa mumoto.
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Naizvozvo muchavaziva nemichero yavo.
Wherefore by their fruits ye 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 unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in 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 we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
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, ye that work iniquity.
24 “Naizvozvo munhu anonzwa mashoko angu aya, uye akaaita, akafanana nemurume akachenjera uyo akavaka imba yake paruware.
Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which 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 descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26 Asi munhu wose anonzwa mashoko angu aya akasaaita, akafanana nomurume benzi akavakira imba yake mujecha.
And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27 Mvura yakanaya, nzizi dzikazara, uye dutu remhepo rakauya rikarova imba iya ikawa nokuwa kukuru.”
And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
28 Jesu akati apedza kutaura zvinhu izvi vazhinji vaivapo vakashamiswa nokudzidzisa kwake,
And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
29 nokuti akadzidzisa somurume aiva nesimba kwete samadzidzisiro aiitwa navadzidzisi vavo vomurayiro.
For he taught them as [one] having authority, and not as the scribes.
