Matthew 18
1 In that [very] hour came the disciples to Jesus saying; Who then [the] greatest is in the kingdom of the heavens?
Nenguva iyo vadzidzi vakauya kuna Jesu vachiti: Ko ndiani mukurusa paushe hwekumatenga?
2 And having called to [Him] (Jesus *k) a child He set it in midst of them
Jesu akadanira kwaari mucheche akamumisa pakati pavo.
3 and said; Amen I say to you; only unless you may turn and may become as the little children, certainly not shall you enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
Akati: Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Kana musingashandurwi mukava sevacheche, hamungatongopindi muushe hwekumatenga.
4 Whoever therefore (will humble *N+kO) himself as little child this, he is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens.
Naizvozvo ani nani anozvininipisa semucheche uyu ndiye mukurusa muushe hwekumatenga.
5 And who[ever] (if *NK+o) shall receive one little child (such *N+kO) in the name of Me, Me myself receives.
Zvino ani nani anogamuchira mucheche umwe wakadai muzita rangu anogamuchira ini.
6 Who[ever] then maybe may cause to stumble one of the little ones of these who are believing in Me myself, it is better for him that may be hung a millstone heavy (around *N+k+o) the neck of him, and he may be sunk in the depth of the sea.
Asi ani nani anogumbusa umwe wevacheche ava vanotenda kwandiri, zvaiva nani kwaari kuti guyo guru risungirirwe kupoteredza pamutsipa wake, anyudzwe mukudzika kwegungwa.
7 Woe to the world because of the causes of sin; Necessary [are] for (is *ko) to come the stumbling blocks, but woe to the man (that [one] *k) through whom the offense comes!
Ine nhamo nyika nemhaka yezvigumbuso! Nokuti kunodikanwa kuti zvigumbuso zviuye; asi une nhamo munhu uyo chigumbuso wachinouya naye!
8 If now the hand of you or the foot of you causes to sin you, do cut off (it *N+KO) and do cast [it] from you; better for you it is to enter into life crippled or lame than two hands or two feet having to be cast into the fire eternal. (aiōnios g166)
Zvino kana ruoko rwako kana rutsoka rwako zvichikugumbusa, uzvigure urase kubva kwauri; zviri nani kwauri kuti upinde muupenyu uri mhetamakumbo kana uri chirema pakuti une maoko maviri kana tsoka mbiri ukandirwe mumoto wekusingaperi. (aiōnios g166)
9 And if the eye of you causes to sin you, do gouge out it and do cast [it] from you; better for you it is one-eyed into life to enter than two eyes having to be cast into the hell of the fire. (Geenna g1067)
Kana ziso rako richikugumbusa, uridzure urase kubva kwauri; zviri nani kwauri kuti upinde muupenyu une ziso rimwe pakuti une meso maviri ukandirwe mugehena remoto. (Geenna g1067)
10 do see [that] not may you despise one of the little ones of these; I say for to you that the angels of them in [the] heavens through all [times] behold the face of the Father of mine who [is] in [the] heavens.
Chenjerai musazvidza umwe wevadiki ava, nokuti ndinoti kwamuri: Kumatenga vatumwa vavo vanogaroona chiso chaBaba vangu vari kumatenga.
11 (came *KO) (for son of man to save those already perishing. *K)
Nokuti Mwanakomana wemunhu wakauya kuzoponesa chakange chakarasika.
12 What you do think? If may happen a certain man [has] a hundred sheep and shall have gone astray one of them, surely (he will leave *N+kO) the ninety nine on the mountains, (and *no) having gone will seek the [one] going astray?
Munofunga sei? Kana umwe munhu ane makwai zana, rimwe rawo rikarasika, haangasii here makumi mapfumbamwe nemapfumbamwe, akaenda kumakomo kunotsvaka rakarasika?
13 And if he may happen to find it, Amen I say to you that he rejoices over it more than over the ninety nine which not gone astray.
Kana zvikaitika kuti ariwana, zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Anorifarira kupfuura makumi mapfumbamwe nemapfumbamwe asina kurasika.
14 Thus not it is [the] will of the Father (of you *NK+O) who [is] in [the] heavens that may perish (one *N+kO) of the little ones of these.
Saizvozvo hakusi kuda kwaBaba venyu vari kumatenga, kuti umwe wevadiki ava aparare.
15 If now shall sin against you the brother of you, do go (and *k) do reprove him between you and him alone. If you he shall hear, you have gained the brother of you.
Asi kana umwe wako akutadzira, enda umudzore pakati pako naye mega; kana akakunzwa, wawana umwe wako.
16 only however unless he shall hear, do take with you more one or two that upon [the] testimony of two witnesses or of three may be strengthened every declaration.
Asi kana asinganzwi, tora umwe kana vamwe vaviri newe, kuti nemuromo wezvapupu zviviri kana zvitatu shoko rese risimbiswe.
17 If now he shall fail to listen to them, do tell [it] to the church. If now also to the church he shall fail to listen, he should be to you as the pagan and the tax collector.
Kana asina hanya nekuvanzwa, uudze kereke; asi kana asina hanya nekunzwa kerekewo, ngaave kwauri semuhedheni nemuteresi.
18 Amen I say to you; as much as (if *NK+o) you shall bind on the earth, will have been bound in heaven; and as much as if you shall loose on the earth, will have been loosed in heaven.
Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Chipi nechipi chamuchasunga panyika, chichasungwa kudenga; uye chipi nechipi chamunosunungura panyika, chichasunungurwa kudenga.
19 Again (Amen *NO) I say to you that if two shall agree (of *no) you on the earth concerning any matter that if they shall ask, it will be done for them by the Father of Mine who [is] in [the] heavens.
Zvekare ndinoti kwamuri: Kana vaviri venyu vakatenderana panyika pamusoro pechinhu chipi nechipi chavanokumbira, chichaitwa kwavari naBaba vangu vari kumatenga.
20 Where for are two or three assembled unto My name, there am I in [the] midst of them.
Nokuti apo vaviri kana vatatu vakaungana muzita rangu, ipapo ndiripo pakati pavo.
21 Then having come Peter said to Him; Lord, how often will sin against me myself the brother of mine and I will forgive him? Up to seven times?
Zvino Petro wakauya kwaari akati: Ishe, umwe wangu uchanditadzira kangani, ndichimukanganwira? Kusvikira kanomwe here?
22 Says to him Jesus; Not I say to you up to seven times but up to seventy times seven!
Jesu akati kwaari: Handiti kwauri: Kusvikira kanomwe; asi: Kusvikira makumi manomwe akapamhidzirwa kanomwe.
23 Because of this has become like the kingdom of the heavens to a man a king who desired to settle accounts with the servants of him.
Naizvozvo ushe hwekumatenga hunofananidzwa neumwe mambo, wakange achida kugadzirisa zvemari nevaranda vake.
24 When was beginning then he to settle (was brought to *NK+o) to him one a debtor of ten thousand talents.
Zvino wakati achitanga kugadzirisa zvemari, umwe akauyiswa kwaari wakange ane chikwereti chematarenda gumi rezvuru.
25 [When] not is having [anything] now he to pay he commanded him the master (of him *k) to be sold and the wife (of him *ko) and the children and all as much as (he has *N+kO) and payment to be made.
Asi zvaakange asina chaangaripa nacho, ishe wake akaraira kuti atengeswe pamwe nemukadzi wake nevana, nezvese zvaakange anazvo, kuti muripo uitwe.
26 Having fallen down therefore the servant was bowing on his knees to him saying; (lord *ko) do have patience with (me myself, *NK+o) and all I will pay to you.
Naizvozvo muranda wakawira pasi, akamunamata, achiti: Ishe, ivai nemoyo murefu neni, ndichakuripirai zvese.
27 Having been moved with compassion now the master of the servant, that [one] released him and the debt forgave him.
Zvino ishe wemuranda uyo akamunzwira tsitsi, akamusunungura, akamukanganwira chikwereti.
28 Having gone out however the servant same found one of the fellow servants of him who was owing to him a hundred denarii, and having seized him he was throttling [him] saying; do pay (to me *k) (if *N+kO) any you owe.’
Asi muranda uyo wakati achibuda, akawana umwe wevaranda vaibata pamwe naye, wakange ane ngava kwaari remadhenario zana; akamubata, akamudzipa, akati: Ndiripe zvaunofanira.
29 Having fallen down therefore the fellow servant of him (into the feet of him *K) was begging him saying; do have patience with (me myself, *NK+o) and (all things *K) I will pay you.
Zvino muranda waibata pamwe naye akawira pasi patsoka dzake akamugombetedza achiti: Uve nemoyo murefu neni, ndichakuripira zvese.
30 But not he was willing, but having gone he cast him into prison until (what of him *ko) he may pay that which is being owed.
Asi iye haana kuda, asi wakaenda, akamukanda mutirongo, kusvikira aripa chikwereti.
31 Having seen (therefore *N+kO) the fellow servants of him the [things] having taken place they were grieved deeply, and having gone they narrated to the master (of themselves *N+kO) all that having taken place.
Zvino varanda vaibata pamwe naye vakati vachiona zvakange zvaitika, vakashungurudzika kwazvo, vakaenda vakaudza ishe wavo zvese zvakaitika.
32 Then having called to him the master of him says to him; Servant evil, all the debt, that [one] I forgave you because you begged me.
Zvino ishe wake wakati amudanira kwaari akati kwaari: Iwe muranda wakaipa, ndakakukanganwira chikwereti icho chose, nokuti wakandigombetedza.
33 Surely it was necessary also you to have pitied the fellow servant of you as also I myself also I myself you pitied?
Ko newe hausaifanira kunzwira tsitsi here umwe muranda unobata pamwe newe, seniwo ndakakunzwira tsitsi?
34 And having been angry the master of him delivered him to the jailers until that he may pay all which is being owed (to him. *ko)
Zvino ishe wake akatsamwa, akamukumikidza kuvarwadzisi, kusvikira aripa zvese zvakafanira kwaari.
35 Thus also the Father of Mine (heavenly *N+kO) will do to you only unless you may forgive each the brother of him from the heart of you (the trespasses of them. *K)
Saizvozvo Baba vangu vari kudenga vachakuitiraiwo, kana musingakanganwiri umwe neumwe umwe wake zvitadzo zvavo nemoyo yenyu yese.
