Mateo 6
1 Chenjerai kuti basa renyu rerudo musariita pamberi pevanhu kuti muonekwe navo; kana zvisakadaro hamuna mubairo kuna Baba venyu vari kumatenga.
"Be careful that you do not do your righteousness before people, to be seen by them, or else you have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
2 Naizvozvo kana uchiita basa rerudo, rega kuridza hwamanda pamberi pako sezvinoita vanyepedzeri mumasinagoge nemunzira dzemumaguta kuti vakudzwe nevanhu. Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Vagamuchira mubairo wavo.
Therefore when you practice charitable giving, do not sound a trumpet before yourself, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may get glory from people. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward.
3 Asi iwe kana uchiita basa rerudo, ruboshwe rwako ngarurege kuziva zvinoita rudyi rwako.
But when you practice charitable giving, do not let your left hand know what your right hand does,
4 Kuti kuita kwako basa rerudo kuve pakavanda; uye Baba vako vanoona pakavanda, ivo vachakuripira pachena.
so that your charitable giving may be in secret, then your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
5 Zvino kana uchinyengetera, usava sevanyepedzeri; nokuti vanoda kunyengetera vamire mumasinagoge nepamharadzano dzenzira dzemumaguta kuti vaonekwe nevanhu. Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Vagamuchira mubairo wavo.
"And when you pray, you are not to be as the hypocrites, for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I tell you, they have received their reward.
6 Asi iwe kana uchinyengetera, pinda muimba yako yemukati, ugovhara mukova wako, unyengetere kuna Baba vako vari pakavanda; zvino Baba vako vanoona pakavanda vachakuripira pachena.
But you, when you pray, enter into your inner chamber, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
7 Asi kana muchinyengetera, musapamhidzira-pamhidzira zvisina maturo sevahedheni; nokuti vanofunga kuti vachanzwikwa nekutaura kwavo kuzhinji.
And in praying, do not use vain repetitions, as the unbelievers do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking.
8 Naizvozvo musafanana navo; nokuti Baba venyu vanoziva chamunoshaiwa musati mavakumbira.
Therefore do not be like them, for your Father knows what things you need, before you ask him.
9 Naizvozvo imwi nyengeterai seizvi: Baba vedu vari kumatenga, zita renyu ngariitwe dzvene;
Therefore, you should pray this way: 'Our Father in heaven, holy be your name.
10 ushe hwenyu ngahuuye; chido chenyu ngachiitwe panyikawo sezvachinoitwa kudenga;
Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
11 mutipei nhasi kudya kwedu kwemisi yese;
Give us today our daily bread.
12 uye mutikanganwire mangava edu, isu sezvatinokanganwirawo vane ngava nesu;
And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.
13 uye musatipinza pakuedzwa, asi mutisunungure pakuipa. Nokuti ushe ndehwenyu nesimba nekubwinya kusvikira rinhi narinhi. Ameni.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.'
14 Nokuti kana muchikanganwira vanhu kudarika kwavo, Baba venyu vari kudenga vachakukanganwiraiwo.
"For if you forgive people their wrongdoing, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15 Asi kana musingakanganwiri vanhu kudarika kwavo, Baba venyu havangakanganwiriwo kudarika kwenyu.
But if you do not forgive people, neither will your Father forgive your wrongdoing.
16 Uyezve kana muchitsanya, musava nezviso zvinopunyaira sevanyepedzeri; nokuti vanounyanisa zviso zvavo, kuti vaonekwe nevanhu kuti vanotsanya. Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Vagamuchira mubairo wavo.
"Moreover when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, with sad faces. For they disfigure their faces, that they may be seen by people to be fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward.
17 Asi iwe kana uchitsanya, zodza musoro wako, ugeze chiso chako,
But you, when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your face;
18 kuti urege kuonekwa kuvanhu kuti unotsanya, asi kuna Baba vako vari pakavanda; zvino Baba vako vanoona pakavanda vachakuripira pachena.
so that you are not seen by people to be fasting, but by your Father who is in secret, and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.
19 Regai kuzviunganidzira fuma panyika, pane chifusi nengura zvinoodza, nepane mbavha dzinopaza dzichiba;
"Do not store up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and decay destroy, and where thieves break through and steal;
20 asi muzviunganidzire fuma kudenga, uko kusina chifusi kana ngura zvinoodza, naapo mbavha padzisingapazi kana kuba.
but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor decay destroy, and where thieves do not break through and steal;
21 Nokuti pane fuma yenyu, ndipo pachavawo nemoyo yenyu.
for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
22 Mwenje wemuviri iziso; naizvozvo kana ziso rako riri benyu, muviri wako wese uchazara nechiedza.
"The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light.
23 Asi kana ziso rako rakaipa, muviri wako wese uchazara nerima. Naizvozvo kana chiedza chiri mauri chiri rima, rima iro iguru sei!
But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness.
24 Hapana angashumira vatenzi vaviri; nokuti achavenga umwe, akada umwe; kana achanamatira umwe, akazvidza umwe. Hamungashumiri Mwari naMamona.
"No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Mammon.
25 Naizvozvo ndinoti kwamuri: Musafunganya pamusoro peupenyu hwenyu, zvamuchadya kana zvamuchanwa, kana pamusoro pemuviri wenyu, zvamuchapfeka. Upenyu hahupfuuri kudya here, nemuviri chipfeko?
Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
26 Tarirai shiri dzedenga, nokuti hadzidzvari kana kukohwa kana kuunganidza mumatura, asi Baba venyu vekudenga vanodzirurira. Imwi hamudzipfuuri zvikuru here?
See the birds of the sky, that they do not sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns, and your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of much more value than they?
27 Ndiani kwamuri nekufunganya angawedzera mbimbi imwe paurefu hwake?
"And which of you, by being anxious, can add one cubit to his height?
28 Nepamusoro pezvipfeko munofunganyirei? Nyatsorangarirai midovatova yenyika, inokura sei; haishingairi, hairuki;
And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They do not toil, neither do they spin,
29 asi ndinoti kwamuri: Kunyange Soromoni pakubwinya kwake kwese haana kupfekedzwa seimwe yeiyi.
yet I tell you that even Shelemun in all his glory was not dressed like one of these.
30 Zvino kana Mwari achifukidza saizvozvo uswa hwenyika, huripo nhasi, hunokandirwa muchoto mangwana, haangakufukidziyi nekupfuurisa here imwi verutendo rudiki?
But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, won't he much more clothe you, you of little faith?
31 Naizvozvo musafunganya, muchiti: Tichadyei? Kana: Tichanwei? Kana: Tichafukei?
"Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?', 'What will we drink?' or, 'With what will we be clothed?'
32 Nokuti izvozvi zvese vahedheni vanozvitsvaka, nokuti Baba venyu vekudenga vanoziva kuti munoshaiwa izvozvi zvese.
For the unbelievers seek after all these things, for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
33 Asi tangai kutsvaka ushe hwaMwari, nekururama kwake, zvino izvozvi zvese zvichawedzerwa kwamuri.
But seek first the Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
34 Naizvozvo musafunganyira mangwana, nokuti mangwana achazvifunganyira zvinhu zvawo. Zuva rakakwanirwa nezvakaipa zvaro.
Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
