Mateo 15
1 Ipapo kwakauya kuna Jesu vanyori neVaFarisi vachibva kuJerusarema vachiti:
Ngalesosikhathi abanye abaFarisi labafundisi bomthetho beza kuJesu bevela eJerusalema bambuza bathi,
2 Sei vadzidzi venyu vachidarika tsika yevakuru? Nokuti havashambi maoko avo kana vachidya chingwa.
“Kungani abafundi bakho besephula isiko labadala na? Kabagezi izandla zabo bengakadli!”
3 Asi akapindura akati kwavari: Nemhaka yei imwiwo muchidarika murairo waMwari nekuda kwetsika yenyu?
UJesu waphendula wathi, “Kungani lina lisephula umlayo kaNkulunkulu ngenxa yamasiko enu na?
4 Nokuti Mwari wakaraira achiti: Kudza baba namai vako; uye kuti: Anotuka baba kana mai, anofanira kufa rufu.
Phela uNkulunkulu wathi, ‘Hlonipha uyihlo lonyoko’njalo ‘Lowo othuka uyise loba unina ufanele ukubulawa.’
5 Asi imwi munoti: Ani nani anoti kuna baba kana kuna mai: Chipi nechipi chaungabatsirwa neni chibairo,
Kodwa lina lithi nxa umuntu esithi lokho obekungaba lusizo kuyise kumbe unina kuphawulelwe uNkulunkulu,
6 naizvozvo haatongokudzi baba vake kana mai vake; naizvozvo mashayisa murairo waMwari maturo netsika yenyu.
akasamelanga ahloniphe uyise lonina ngakho. Ngaleyondlela lichitha ilizwi likaNkulunkulu ngenxa yesiko lenu.
7 Vanyepedzeri, Isaya wakaporofita zvakanaka pamusoro penyu achiti:
Lina bazenzisi! U-Isaya wayeqinisile aze aphrofithe ngani esithi:
8 Vanhu ava vanoswedera kwandiri nemuromo wavo, vachindikudza nemiromo; asi moyo wavo uri kure neni.
‘Lababantu bangidumisa ngezindebe zabo, kodwa inhliziyo zabo zikhatshana lami.
9 Asi vanondinamata pasina, vachidzidzisa dzidziso dziri mirairo yevanhu.
Bangikhonza ngeze; imfundiso yabo yimithetho yabantu.’”
10 Zvino akadanira chaunga kwaari, akati kwavari: Teererai munzwisise.
UJesu wabizela ixuku labantu kuye wathi, “Lalelani lizwisise.
11 Hazvisi zvinopinda mumuromo zvinosvibisa munhu; asi izvo zvinobuda mumuromo, ndizvo zvinosvibisa munhu.
Lokho okungena emlonyeni womuntu ‘kakumngcolisi’ kodwa lokho okuphuma emlonyeni wakhe yikho ‘okumngcolisayo.’”
12 Zvino vadzidzi vake vakaswedera vakati kwaari: Munoziva kuti VaFarisi vakati vachinzwa shoko iri vakagumbuka here?
Abafundi basebesiza kuye bambuza bathi, “Uyakwazi yini ukuthi abaFarisi kubakhubile ukuzwa lokhu?”
13 Asi wakapindura akati: Chinomera chimwe nechimwe Baba vangu vekudenga chavasina kudzvara chichadzurwa.
Waphendula wathi, “Zonke izihlahla ezingahlanyelwanga nguBaba osezulwini zizasitshunwa lezimpande zazo.
14 Varegei; vatungamiriri vakapofumara vemapofu. Zvino kana bofu richitungamirira bofu, achawira mugomba ari maviri.
Bayekeleni; ngabakhokheli abazimpumputhe. Nxa impumputhe ihola impumputhe zombili zizawela egodini.”
15 Petro akapindura akati kwaari: Tidudzirei mufananidzo uyu.
UPhethro wathi, “Sichasisele umzekeliso lowo.”
16 Zvino Jesu akati: Imwiwo muchiri vasinganzwisisi nhai?
UJesu wababuza wathi, “Lilokhu lingelakuqedisisa na?
17 Nazvino hamunzwisisi here, kuti zvese zvinopinda mumuromo zvinoenda mudumbu, uye zvinoraswa kunze?
Kaliboni yini ukuthi noma yini engena emlonyeni iya esiswini besekuphuma emzimbeni?
18 Asi zvinhu zvinobuda mumuromo zvinobva mumoyo; izvo zvinosvibisa munhu.
Kodwa lezozinto eziphuma emlonyeni womuntu zivela enhliziyweni yizo ezenza umuntu angcole.
19 Nokuti mumoyo munobuda ndangariro dzakaipa, umhondi, ufeve, upombwe, umbavha, uchapupu hwenhema, kunyomba.
Ngoba enhliziyweni kuphuma imicabango emibi, ukubulala, ukufeba, ukuhlobonga, ubusela, ukufakaza amanga, ukunyeya lokuhlambaza.
20 Izvi ndizvo zvinosvibisa munhu; asi kudya nemaoko asina kushambwa hazvisvibisi munhu.
Lokhu yikho okwenza umuntu angcole, kodwa ukudla ngezandla ezingagezwanga kakumenzi angcole.”
21 Zvino Jesu wakabvapo akaenda kumiganhu yeTire neSidhoni.
Esuka kuleyondawo uJesu waya emangweni waseThire leSidoni.
22 Zvino tarira, mukadzi muKenani wakabva kumiganhu iyo akadanidzira kwaari achiti: Ndinzwirei tsitsi, Ishe, Mwanakomana waDhavhidhi; mukunda wangu wakabatwa zvakaipa nedhimoni.
Umfazi ongumKhenani wakuleyondawo weza kuye ezokhala esithi, “Nkosi, Ndodana kaDavida, ake ungihawukele! Indodakazi yami ithwele nzima, ihlutshwa ngamadimoni.”
23 Asi haana kumupindura shoko. Vadzidzi vake ndokuuya kwaari vakamukumbirisa vachiti: Muindisei, nokuti anodanidzira shure kwedu.
UJesu kazange amphendule. Ngakho abafundi bakhe beza kuye bamkhuthaza bathi, “Mxotshe, nangu uselokhu ememeza esilandela.”
24 Asi wakapindura akati: Handina kutumwa zvimwe, kunze kwekumakwai akarasika eimba yaIsraeri.
Waphendula wathi, “Ngathunywa kuphela ezimvini ezilahlekileyo zako-Israyeli.”
25 Zvino akauya akamunamata achiti: Ishe, ndibatsirei.
Owesifazane lowo weza waguqa phambi kwakhe wathi, “Nkosi, ake ungisize.”
26 Asi wakapindura akati: Hazvina kunaka kutora chingwa chevana ndokukandira imbwanana.
Waphendula uJesu wathi, “Kakulunganga ukuthatha isinkwa sabantwana usiphosele izinja.”
27 Asi iye akati: Hongu, Ishe, asi nembwanana dzinodya zvezvimedu zvinowa patafura yavatenzi vadzo.
Owesifazane wathi, “Yebo Nkosi, angithi izinja ziyayidla imvuthu eziwa etafuleni yabaninizo.”
28 Zvino Jesu akapindura akati kwaari: Haiwa mukadzi, rutendo rwako rukuru! Ngazvive kwauri sezvaunoda. Mukunda wake akaporeswa kubva panguva iyo.
UJesu wasephendula wathi, “Nkosazana, ulokukholwa okukhulu! Isicelo sakho sesamukelwe.” Indodakazi yakhe yahle yasila ngalesosikhathi.
29 Jesu ndokubva ipapo akauya parutivi rwegungwa reGarirea; akakwira mugomo, akagara ipapo.
UJesu wasuka lapho wehla egudlana loLwandle lwaseGalile. Wasekhwela entabeni wahlala phansi.
30 Zvino zvaunga zvikuru zvakauya kwaari zvine mhetamakumbo, mapofu, zvimumumu, zvirema, nevamwe vazhinji, vakavakanda patsoka dzaJesu; akavaporesa;
Kweza kuye amaxuku amakhulu abantu eletha abaqhulayo, iziphofu, izigoga, izimungulu labanye abanengi, bababeka phambi kwakhe; wabasilisa.
31 zvekuti zvaunga zvakashamisika zvichiona zvimumumu zvichitaura, zvirema zvakagwinya, vanokamhina vachifamba, nemapofu achiona; vakarumbidza Mwari waIsraeri.
Abantu bamangala ukubona izimungulu sezikhuluma, izigoga sezitshwaphulukile, abaqhugezelayo sebezihambela leziphofu sezibona. Bamdumisa uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.
32 Jesu ndokudanira vadzidzi vake kwaari akati: Ndinonzwa tsitsi nechaunga, nokuti vakagara neni zvino mazuva matatu vasina chinhu chekudya, uye handidi kuvaindisa vasina kudya, zvimwe vangaziya panzira.
UJesu wabiza abafundi bakhe wathi, “Ngibazwela usizi lababantu; sebehlale lami insuku ezintathu bengadlanga lutho. Angifuni kubakhulula belambile funa bayathe endleleni.”
33 Vadzidzi vake ndokuti kwaari: Tichawanepi zvingwa zvakawanda zvakadaro murenje, kuti tigutise chaunga chikuru chakadai?
Abafundi bakhe bamphendula bathi, “Singakuthatha ngaphi ukudla okwaneleyo endaweni ekhatshana kanje ukuba sisuthise ixuku elingaka na?”
34 Jesu ndokuti kwavari: Mune zvingwa zvingani? Vakati: Zvinomwe, nehove diki shomanene.
UJesu wabuza wathi, “Lilezinkwa ezingaki?” Bathi, “Eziyisikhombisa lenhlanzi ezincane ezimbalwa.”
35 Ndokuraira zvaunga kuti zvigare pasi pavhu.
Wasetshela ixuku labantu ukuba lihlale phansi.
36 Akatora zvingwa zvinomwe nehove, akavonga, akamedura, ndokupa vadzidzi vake, vadzidzi vakapa chaunga.
Wasethatha lezozinkwa eziyisikhombisa lenhlanzi, kwathi esebongile, wazihlephula waziqhubela abafundi, labo bazinika abantu.
37 Vakadya vese vakaguta; vakanonga zvimedu zvakasara, matengu manomwe azere.
Bonke badla basutha. Ngemva kwalokho abafundi babutha imvuthu kwagcwala izitsha eziyisikhombisa.
38 Zvino avo vakadya vakange vari varume zvuru zvina pasina vakadzi nevana.
Inani lalabo abadlayo lalizinkulungwane ezine kungabalwa abafazi labantwana.
39 Zvino wakati aregera zvaunga zvichienda, akapinda muchikepe, akasvika kumiganhu yeMagidhara.
UJesu eselikhulule ixuku labantu, wangena esikepeni waya emangweni waseMagadani.
