Mateu 10

¹(Mar 3. 13-19; 6.7-13, Ruka 6. 12-16, 9. 1-6) Zvino wakadanira kwaari vadzidzi vake, vanegumi navaviri. Akavapa simba pamusoro pemweya yetsvina, kuti vaibudise nokuporesa kurwara kwose novukosha hwose.And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.

²Mazita avaapostora vanegumi navaviri ndiwawa, wokutanga Simoni wainzi Petro naAndrea munun’una wake, Jakobho mwanakomana waZebedi naJohane munun’una wake,Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

³Firipo naBatoromeo, Tomasi naMateo muteresi, Jakobho mwanakomana waArafeo naTadeo.Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;

⁴Simoni muKanani naJudhasi Iskarioti uya wakamupandukira.Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

⁵Ava vanegumi navaviri Jesu akavatuma akavaraira achiti, musaenda munzira yavahedheni, musapinda muguta ravaSamaria.These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:

⁶Asi zvirinani muende kumakwai akarasika eimba yavaIsraeri.But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

⁷Mufambe muparidze muchiti, Vushe bwokudenga bwaswedera.And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

⁸Poresai vanorwara, mutsai vakafa, natsai vanamaperambudzi, budisai mweya yakaipa. Makangopiwa henyu chingopai henyu.Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

⁹Musatora ndarama kana sirivheri kana ndarira muzvikwama zvenyu,Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,

¹⁰kana hombodo yorwendo, kana nguvo mbiri, kana shangu, kana tsvimbo nokuti mubati wakafanirwa nezvokudya zvake.Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.

¹¹Muguta kana mumusha pose pamunopinda bvunzai kuti ndiani urimo wakafanira mugarepo kusvikira muchibva.And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.

¹²Kana muchipinda mumba muikwazise.And when ye come into an house, salute it.

¹³kana imba yakafanira, rugare rwenyu ngaruvuye pamusoro payo asi kana isina kufanira rugare rwenyu ngarudzokere kwamuri.And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.

¹⁴Aninani usingakugamuchiriyi kana kunzwa mashoko enyu, kana muchibva paimba iyo kana paguta iro, muzuze guruva riri patsoka dzenyu.And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.

¹⁵Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri, nyika yeSodhoma neGomora dzicharerukirwa nezuva rokutongwa kupfuvura guta iro.Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.

¹⁶Tarirai ndinokutumai samakwai pakati pamapere. Saka chenjerai senyoka mururame senjiva.Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

¹⁷Asi chenjerai vanhu nokuti vachakuisai kuvungano dzamakurukota nokukurovai zvikuru mumasinagoge avo.But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;

¹⁸Muchaiswavo pamberi pavabati namadzimambo nokuda kwangu muve zvapupu kwavari nokuvahedheni.And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.

¹⁹Asi kana vachikukwirirai, musafunganya muchiti muchataura sei kana inyiko nokuti muchapiwa nenguva iyo zvamunofanira kutaura.But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.

²⁰Nokuti hamuzimi munotaura asi Mweya waBaba venyu unotaura mukati menyu.For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.

²¹Mukoma uchaisa munun’una parufu nababa mwana wavo, vana vachamukira vabereki vavo nokuvavuraya.And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.

²²Muchavengwa navose nokuda kwezita rangu asi unotsungirira kusvika pakuguma, uchaponeswa.And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

²³Asi kana vachikutambudzai muguta rimwe, tizirai kune rimwe nokuti zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri, hamungapedzi maguta avaIsraeri Mwanakomana womunhu asati asvika.But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.

²⁴Mudzidzi haangakundi mudzidzisi wake kana muranda Ishe wake.The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.

²⁵Zvakaringana kuti mudzidzi ave somudzidzisi wake, nomuranda ave saShe wake. Zvavakaidza mwene weimba Beerzeburi vachadaro zvikuru sei veimba yake!It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?

²⁶Naizvozvo musavatya, nokuti hakunechinhu chakafukidzwa chisingazozarurwi. Kana chakavanzika chisingazozikamwi.Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

²⁷Zvandinokuvudzai murima, taurai pachena, zvamunonzwa munzeve paridzirai pamusoro pedzimba.What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.

²⁸Musatya vanovuraya muviri asi vasingagoni kuvuraya mweya, zvikuru mutye uyo unogona kuvuraya zvose mweya nomuviri muGehena.And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

²⁹Ko shiri duku mbiri hadzitengeswi nehafu yepeni here? Asi imwe yazvo haingawiri pasi kunze kwaBaba venyu.Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.

³⁰Kana muri imwi nevhudzi romusoro wenyu rakaverengwa rose.But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

³¹Naizvozvo musatya nokuti munopfuvura shiri duku zhinji.Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

³²Mumwe nomumwe uchandipupura pamberi pavanhu neni ndichamupupura pamberi paBaba vangu vari kudenga.Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.

³³Asi mumwe nomumwe unondiramba pamberi pavanhu, neni ndichamuramba pamberi paBaba vangu vari kudenga.But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

³⁴Musafunga kuti ndakavuya kuisa rugare panyika, handina kuvuya kuisa rugare asi munondo.Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

³⁵Nokuti ndakavuya kupesanisa munhu nababa vake, nomwanasikana namai vake nomukadzi womwana navamwene vake,For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

³⁶navavengi vomunhu vachava veimba yake.And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.

³⁷Unoda baba kana mai kupfuvureni, haana kufanireni nounoda mwanakomana nomwanasikana kupfuvureni haanakufanireni.He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

³⁸Usingatori muchinjikwa wake akanditevera haana kufanireni.And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

³⁹Unowana vupenyu bwake ucharashikirwa nahwo asi unorashikirwa novupenyu hwake nokuda kwangu uchahwuwana.He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

⁴⁰Unokugamuchirai imi, unondigamuchira nounogamuchira ini unogamuchira wakandituma.He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

⁴¹Unogamuchira muporofita, muzita romuporofita uchapiwa mubairo womuporofita. Nounogamuchira wakarurama muzita rowakarurama, uchapiwa mubairo wowakarurama.He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward.

⁴²Aninani unopa muzita romudzidzi mumwe wavaduku ava mukombe bedzi wemvura inotonhorera anwe, zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri, haangatongorashikirwi nomubairo wake.And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.
