Matthew 5
1 Then, seeing the crowds, he ascended the mountain, and when he had sat down, his disciples drew near to him,
Zvino wakati achiona zvaunga akakwira mugomo, zvino wakati agara pasi vadzidzi vake vakauya kwaari;
2 and opening his mouth, he taught them, saying:
akashamisa muromo wake, akavadzidzisa achiti:
3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Vakaropafadzwa varombo pamweya; nokuti ushe hwekumatenga ndehwavo.
4 Blessed are the meek, for they shall possess the earth.
Vakaropafadzwa vanochema; nokuti ivo vachanyaradzwa.
5 Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be consoled.
Vakaropafadzwa vanyoro; nokuti ivo vachagara nhaka yenyika.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for justice, for they shall be satisfied.
Vakaropafadzwa vane nzara nenyota yekururama; nokuti ivo vachagutiswa.
7 Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
Vakaropafadzwa vane tsitsi; nokuti ivo vachaitirwa tsitsi.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
Vakaropafadzwa vakachena pamoyo; nokuti ivo vachaona Mwari.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
Vakaropafadzwa vanoyananisa; nokuti ivo vachanzi vana vaMwari.
10 Blessed are those who endure persecution for the sake of justice, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Vakaropafadzwa vanoshushwa nekuda kwekururama; nokuti ushe hwekumatenga ndehwavo.
11 Blessed are you when they have slandered you, and persecuted you, and spoken all kinds of evil against you, falsely, for my sake:
Makaropafadzwa imwi, kana vachikutukai, vachikushushai, vachikutaurirai zvakaipa zvese vachireva nhema nekuda kwangu.
12 be glad and exult, for your reward in heaven is plentiful. For so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Farai mupembere kwazvo, nokuti mubairo wenyu mukuru mumatenga; nokuti vakashusha saizvozvo vaporofita vakakutangirai.
13 You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its saltiness, with what will it be salted? It is no longer useful at all, except to be cast out and trampled under by men.
Imwi muri munyu wenyika; asi kana munyu warasa kuvava, ucharungwa nei? Hauchabatsiri chinhu, asi kurasirwa kunze, utsikwe-tsikwe nevanhu.
14 You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden.
Imwi muri chiedza chenyika; guta rakamiswa pamusoro pegomo haringavanziki;
15 And they do not light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, so that it may shine to all who are in the house.
uye mwenje havautungidzi vakauisa pasi pedengu, asi pachigadziko chemwenje, uvhenekere vese vari mumba.
16 So then, let your light shine in the sight of men, so that they may see your good works, and may glorify your Father, who is in heaven.
Saizvozvo chiedza chenyu ngachivhenekere pamberi pevanhu, kuti vaone mabasa enyu akanaka, vagokudza Baba venyu vari kumatenga.
17 Do not think that I have come to loosen the law or the prophets. I have not come to loosen, but to fulfill.
Musafunga kuti ndauya kuzoparadza murairo kana vaporofita; handina kuuya kuzoparadza, asi kuzozadzisa.
18 Amen I say to you, certainly, until heaven and earth pass away, not one iota, not one dot shall pass away from the law, until all is done.
Nokuti zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Kusvikira denga nenyika zvichipfuura, vara diki rimwe kana chidodzi chimwe kubva pamurairo hazvingatongopfuuri, kusvikira zvese zvaitika.
19 Therefore, whoever will have loosened one of the least of these commandments, and have taught men so, shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever will have done and taught these, such a one shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Naizvozvo ani nani anotyora umwe wemirairo midikisa iyi, akadzidzisa vanhu saizvozvo, achanzi mudikisa muushe hwekumatenga; asi ani nani anoita akaidzidzisa, iye achanzi mukuru muushe hwekumatenga.
20 For I say to you, that unless your justice has surpassed that of the scribes and the Pharisees you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Nokuti ndinoti kwamuri: Kunze kwekuti kururama kwenyu kukapfuura kwevanyori nekweVaFarisi, hamungatongopindi muushe hwekumatenga.
21 You have heard that it was said to the ancients: ‘You shall not murder; whoever will have murdered shall be liable to judgment.’
Makanzwa kuti zvakanzi kune vekare: Usauraya; uye ani nani anouraya achava nemhosva yemutongo;
22 But I say to you, that anyone who becomes angry with his brother shall be liable to judgment. But whoever will have called his brother, ‘Idiot,’ shall be liable to the council. Then, whoever will have called him, ‘Worthless,’ shall be liable to the fires of Hell. (Geenna g1067)
asi ini ndinoti kwamuri: Ani nani anotsamwira umwe wake pasina chikonzero, achava nemhosva yemutongo; neanoti kune umwe wake: Dununu! achava nemhosva yedare remakurukota; uye anoti: Benzi! achava nemhosva yegehena remoto. (Geenna g1067)
23 Therefore, if you offer your gift at the altar, and there you remember that your brother has something against you,
Naizvozvo kana uchiuisa chipo chako kuaritari, ipapo ukarangarira kuti umwe wako ane chekupikisana newe,
24 leave your gift there, before the altar, and go first to be reconciled to your brother, and then you may approach and offer your gift.
siya ipapo chipo chako pamberi pearitari, uende umbonotanga wayanana neumwe wako, ugouya wopira chipo chako.
25 Be reconciled with your adversary quickly, while you are still on the way with him, lest perhaps the adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you will be thrown in prison.
Tenderana nemudzivisi wako nekukurumidza, uchiri munzira naye, zvimwe mudzivisi angakukumikidza kumutongi, mutongi akukumikidze kumupurisa, ukakandirwa mutirongo.
26 Amen I say to you, that you shall not go forth from there, until you have repaid the last quarter.
Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwauri: Haungatongobudimo, kusvikira waripa kamari kekupedzisira.
27 You have heard that it was said to the ancients: ‘You shall not commit adultery.’
Makanzwa kuti zvakanzi kune vekare: Usaita upombwe;
28 But I say to you, that anyone who will have looked at a woman, so as to lust after her, has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
asi ini ndinoti kwamuri: Wese anotarisa mukadzi kuti amuchive, watoita upombwe naye mumoyo make.
29 And if your right eye causes you to sin, root it out and cast it away from you. For it is better for you that one of your members perish, than that your whole body be cast into Hell. (Geenna g1067)
Uye kana ziso rako rerudyi richikugumbusa, uridzure urase kubva kwauri; nokuti zviri nani kwauri kuti umwe wemitezo yako uparare, kwete kuti muviri wako wese ukandirwe mugehena. (Geenna g1067)
30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it away from you. For it is better for you that one of your members perish, than that your whole body go into Hell. (Geenna g1067)
Zvino kana ruoko rwako rwerudyi ruchikugumbusa, urugure urasire kure newe; nokuti zviri nani kwauri kuti umwe wemitezo yako uparare, kwete kuti muviri wako wese ukandirwe mugehena. (Geenna g1067)
31 And it has been said: ‘Whoever would dismiss his wife, let him give her a bill of divorce.’
Zvakanziwo: Ani nani anoramba mukadzi wake, ngaamupe rugwaro rwekurambana;
32 But I say to you, that anyone who will have dismissed his wife, except in the case of fornication, causes her to commit adultery; and whoever will have married her who has been dismissed commits adultery.
asi ini ndinoti kwamuri: Ani nani anoramba mukadzi wake, kunze kwemhosva yeupombwe, anomuitisa upombwe; uye ani nani anowana wakarambwa anoita upombwe.
33 Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients: ‘You shall not swear falsely. For you shall repay your oaths to the Lord.’
Zvekare makanzwa kuti zvakanzi kune vekare: Usapika nhema, asi uripire Ishe mhiko dzako;
34 But I say to you, do not swear an oath at all, neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God,
asi ini ndinoti kwamuri: Musatongopika; kana nedenga, nokuti chigaro chaMwari cheushe;
35 nor by earth, for it is his footstool, nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great king.
kana nenyika, nokuti chitsiko chetsoka dzake; kana neJerusarema, nokuti iguta raMambo mukuru;
36 Neither shall you swear an oath by your own head, because you are not able to cause one hair to become white or black.
uye usapika nemusoro wako, nokuti haugoni kuita ruvhudzi rumwe ruchena kana rutema.
37 But let your word ‘Yes’ mean ‘Yes,’ and ‘No’ mean ‘No.’ For anything beyond that is of evil.
Asi shoko renyu ngarive: Hongu, hongu; kwete, kwete; chinopfuura izvi chinobva kune wakaipa.
38 You have heard that it was said: ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’
Makanzwa kuti zvakanzi: Ziso neziso, uye zino nezino;
39 But I say to you, do not resist one who is evil, but if anyone will have struck you on your right cheek, offer to him the other also.
asi ini ndinoti kwamuri: Musapikisa wakaipa; asi ani nani anokurova padama rako rerudyi, umutendeusire rimwewo.
40 And anyone who wishes to contend with you in judgment, and to take away your tunic, release to him your cloak also.
Neanoda kukusungisa, nekutora shati yako, umutendere nguvo yakowo.
41 And whoever will have compelled you for one thousand steps, go with him even for two thousand steps.
Ani nani anokumanikidza kuenda maira imwe uende naye mbiri.
42 Whoever asks of you, give to him. And if anyone would borrow from you, do not turn away from him.
Ipa anokumbira kwauri, usafuratira anoda kukwereta kwauri.
43 You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor, and you shall have hatred for your enemy.’
Makanzwa kuti zvakanzi: Ude umwe wako, uvenge muvengi wako.
44 But I say to you: Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you. And pray for those who persecute and slander you.
Asi ini ndinoti kwamuri: Idai vavengi venyu, ropafadzai vanokutukai, batai zvakanaka vanokuvengai, munyengeterere vanokubatai zvakaipa vachikushushai.
45 In this way, you shall be sons of your Father, who is in heaven. He causes his sun to rise upon the good and the bad, and he causes it to rain upon the just and the unjust.
Kuti muve vana vaBaba venyu vari kumatenga, nokuti vanobudisira zuva ravo kune vakaipa nevakanaka, nemvura vanoinaisira vakarurama nevasakarurama.
46 For if you love those who love you, what reward will you have? Do not even tax collectors behave this way?
Nokuti kana muchida vanokudai, mune mubairo wei? Ko, vateresiwo havaiti izvozvo here?
47 And if you greet only your brothers, what more have you done? Do not even the pagans behave this way?
Uye kana muchikwazisa vamwe venyu chete, munoita zvikuru kupfuura vamwe nei? Ko, vateresiwo havaiti saizvozvo here?
48 Therefore, be perfect, even as your heavenly Father is perfect.”
Naizvozvo imwi muve vakakwana, saBaba venyu vari kumatenga vakakwana.
