Matthew 7
1 “Do not judge, so that you will not be judged.
Musatonga, kuti murege kutongwa,
2 For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you.
nokuti muchatongwa nekutonga kwamunotonga nako; uye muchayerwa zvekare nechiyero chamunoyera nacho.
3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the beam that is in your own eye?
Unotarisirei rubanzu rwuri muziso reumwe wako, asi usingananzereri danda riri muziso rako?
4 Or how will you tell your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye,’ and behold, the beam is in your own eye?
Kana ungataura sei kune umwe wako uchiti: Rega ndivhomore rubanzu muziso rako, asi tarira, danda riri muziso rako?
5 You hypocrite! First remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother’s eye.
Munyepedzeri, tanga kuvhomora danda muziso rako, ugoona kwazvo kuvhomora rubanzu muziso reumwe wako.
6 “Do not give that which is holy to the dogs, neither throw your pearls before the pigs, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
Musapa chitsvene kuimbwa, kana kukandira maparera enyu pamberi penguruve, zvimwe dzingaatsika netsoka dzadzo, dzikatendeuka dzikakubvamburai.
7 “Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you.
Kumbirai, uye muchapiwa; tsvakai, uye muchawana; gogodzai, uye muchazarurirwa.
8 For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
Nokuti umwe neumwe anokumbira anogamuchira, neanotsvaka anowana, neanogogodza anozarurirwa.
9 Or who is there among you who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?
Kana ndeupi munhu kwamuri, iye kana mwanakomana wake akakumbira chingwa, achamupa ibwe?
10 Or if he asks for a fish, who will give him a serpent?
Kana kuti akakumbira hove, achamupa nyoka?
11 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 those who ask him!
Zvino kana imwi makaipa muchiziva kupa vana venyu zvipo zvakanaka, Baba venyu vari kumatenga vachapfuurisa sei kupa zvinhu zvakanaka ivo vanovakumbira?
12 Therefore, whatever you desire for men to do to you, you shall also do to them; for this is the law and the prophets.
Naizvozvo zvinhu zvese zvamunoda kuti vanhu vakuitirei, imwi muvaitirewo saizvozvo; nokuti uyu ndiwo murairo nevaporofita.
13 “Enter in by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter in by it.
Pindai nesuwo rakamanikana; nokuti suwo rakafara nenzira yakapamhamha inoenda kukuparadzwa, uye vazhinji varipo vanopinda naro.
14 How narrow is the gate and the way is restricted that leads to life! There are few who find it.
Nokuti suwo rakamanikana nenzira nhete inoenda kuupenyu, uye vashoma vanoiwana.
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.
Asi chenjerai vaporofita venhema, vanouya kwamuri nezvipfeko zvemakwai, asi mukati mapumhi anoparadza.
16 By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles?
Muchavaziva nezvibereko zvavo; vanhu vanotanha mazambiringa paminzwa here, kana maonde parubayambeva?
17 Even so, every good tree produces good fruit, but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit.
Saizvozvo muti umwe neumwe wakanaka unobereka zvibereko zvakanaka, asi muti wakaipa unobereka zvibereko zvakaipa.
18 A good tree cannot produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.
Muti wakanaka haugoni kubereka zvibereko zvakaipa, nemuti wakaipa haubereki zvibereko zvakanaka.
19 Every tree that does not grow good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
Muti umwe neumwe usingaiti chibereko chakanaka unotemwa wokandirwa mumoto.
20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
Naizvozvo kubva pazvibereko zvavo muchavaziva.
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
Haasi wese anoti kwandiri: Ishe, Ishe, achapinda muushe hwekumatenga; asi anoita kuda kwaBaba vangu vari kumatenga.
22 Many will tell me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did not we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?’
Vazhinji vachati kwandiri pazuva iro: Ishe, Ishe, hatina kuporofita muzita renyu here, tikabudisa madhimoni muzita renyu, tikaita mabasa esimba mazhinji muzita renyu?
23 Then I will tell them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.’
Zvino ipapo ndichareva kwavari pachena ndichiti: Handina kukuzivai chero nguva; ibvai kwandiri imwi vaiti vezvakaipa.
24 “Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on a rock.
Naizvozvo umwe neumwe anonzwa mashoko angu awa uye akaaita, ndichamufananidza nemurume wakachenjera, wakavaka imba yake paruware.
25 The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.
Zvino mvura ikaturuka, mafashame akauya, mitutu ikavhuvhuta, ikarova paimba iyo, ikasawa; nokuti yakange yakateyiwa paruware.
26 Everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
Zvino umwe neumwe anonzwa mashoko angu awa, akasaaita, uchafananidzwa nemurume benzi, wakavaka imba yake pajecha;
27 The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell—and its fall was great.”
zvino mvura ikaturuka, mafashame ndokuuya, mitutu ndokuvhuvhuta, ndokurova paimba iyo, ndokuwa; uye kuwa kwayo kukava kukuru.
28 When Jesus had finished saying these things, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching,
Zvino zvakaitika kuti Jesu apedza mashoko iwawa, zvaunga zvakashamiswa nedzidziso yake.
29 for he taught them with authority, and not like the scribes.
Nokuti wakavadzidzisa seune simba, kwete sevanyori.
