Zvino vanhu vanezvuru zvizhinji vakati vavunganira pamwe chete kusvikira votsikirirana, akavamba kutaura kuvadzidzi vake pakutanga, achiti: Chenjerai mbiriso yavaFarise, ndiko kunyengera.In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
Hakunechinhu chakafukidzwa, chisingazozarurwi; kana chakavanzika, chisingazozikanwi.For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
Saka zvose zvamakataura murima, zvichanzwika muchiedza; nezvamakataura munzeve mudzimba dzomukati, zvichaparidzwa pamusoro pedzimba.Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
Ndinoti kwamuri, hama dzangu; Musatya vanovuraya muviri, vasingazogoni kuita chimwe chinhu shure kwaizvozvo.And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
Asi ndichakuratidzai wamunofanira kutya; mumutyei iye, unoti kana avuraya, unesimba vo rokukandira muGehena. Hongu, ndinoti kwamuri: Mumutye iye.But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
Ko shiri duku shanu hadzitengeswi nepeni here? Hakuna imwe yadzo inokanganikwa pamberi paMwari.Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
Asi nevhudzi romusoro wenyu rakaverengwa rose. Musatya, munopfuvura shiri duku zhinji.But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
Ndinoti kwamuri: Mumwe nomumwe unondipupura pamberi pavanhu, Mwanakomana womunhu uchamupupura vo pamberi pavatumwa vaMwari.Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
Asi unondiramba pamberi pavanhu, ucharambwa vo pamberi pavatumwa vaMwari.But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
Mumwe nomumwe unoreva shoko rakaipa pamusoro poMwanakomana womunhu, uchakangamwirwa, asi unomhura Mweya Mutsvene haangakangamwirwi.And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
Kana vachikuisai pamberi pamasinagoge navatongi navakuru, musafunganya kuti muchapindura sei, kana inyiko, kana muchataurei.And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
Nokuti Mweya Mutsvene uchakudzidzisai nenguva iyo zvamunofanira kutaura.For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
Zvino mumwe pakati pavazhinji wakati kwaari: Mudzidzisi, vudzai munin’ina wangu kuti agovane nhaka neni.And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
Iye akati kwaari: Iwe munhu, ndianiko wakandiita mutongi kana mugoveri pakati penyu?And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
Akati kwavari: Chenjerai, muzvichengete pakuchiva kwose, nokuti vupenyu bwomunhu habwuzi pazvinhu zvakawanda zvaanazvo.And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
Akavataurira mufananidzo, akati: Nyika yomumwe mufumi yakanga yabereka kwazvo;And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
akafunga mumoyo make, akati: Ndichaita seiko? Nokuti handina pandingavunganidzira zvibereko zvangu.And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
Akati; Ndichaita kudai: Ndichaputsa matura angu, ndikavaka makuru; ndichavunganidzirapo zviyo zvangu, nezvose zvangu zvakanaka,And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
ndigoti kumweya wangu: Mweya, unezvakawanda zvakanaka, zvakavigirwa makore mazhinji; zorora, udye, umwe, ufare.And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
Asi Mwari akati kwaari: Iwe benzi, mweya wako uchadikamwa kubva kwauri, novusiku; ubwu vachakutorera mweya wako; izvo zvawagadzira, zvichagova zvani?But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
Ndizvo zvakaita munhu unozvivunganidzira fuma, asingafumi kunaMwari.So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
Zvino wakati kuvadzidzi vake; Naizvozvo ndinoti kwamuri: Musafunganya pamusoro povupenyu hwenyu, kuti muchadyei, kana pamusoro pomuviri wenyu, kuti muchapfekei?And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.
Nokuti vupenyu bwunopfuvura zvokudya, nomuviri unopfuvura zvokupfeka.The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
Fungai makunguvo, kuti haadzvari, haacheki, haanetsapi kana dura; asi Mwari unoapa zvokudya. Imi munokunda shiri zvikuru sei!Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?
Ndianiko kwamuri ungawedzera kubiti* rimwe pavurefu bwake nokufunganya?And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
Zvino kana imi musingagoni kuita chinhu chiduku, munofunganyireiko pamusoro pezvimwe?If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?
Fungai maruva, kumera kwawo; haabati, haaruki; asi ndinoti kwamuri: Kunyange naSoromoni pakubwinya kwake kwose, haana kushongedzwa serimwe rawo.Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Zvino kana Mwari achipfekedza saizvozvo vuswa bwenyika, bwuripo nhasi, mangwana bwokandirwa muchoto, haangakupfekedziyi nokupfuvurisa, imi vokutenda kuduku here?If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
Imi musatsvaka zvamuchadya, nezvamuchamwa; musazvidya moyo.And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
Nokuti zvinhu izvi zvose zvinotsvakwa navahedheni; asi Baba venyu vanoziva kuti munoshaiwa izvozvi.For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
Asi zviri nani mutsvake vushe bwaMwari, naizvozvo zvose muchazviwedzerwa.But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Musatya henyu, imi kapoka kaduku, nokuti Baba venyu vanofara nokukupai vushe.Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
Tengesai zvamunazvo, mupe zvipo; muzviitire zvikwama zvisingasakari, fuma isingaperi kudenga, pasingasviki mbavha, pasingaparadzi zvipfunho.Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
Nokuti panefuma yenyu, nomoyo wenyu uchavapo vo.For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Zvivuno zvenyu ngazvigare zvakasungwa, nemwenje yenyu ipfute.Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
Nemi muve savanhu vakarindira ishe wavo pakudzoka kwake kumutambo wokuwana; kuti kana akasvika akagogodza, vamuzarurire pakarepo.And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
Vakaropafadzwa varanda avo, vanoti, kana ishe achisvika, unovawana vakarindira. Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri, uchazvisunga chivuno iye, akavagarisa pakudya, akavuya akavashandira.Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
Kana akasvika nenguva yokurindira yechipiri, kana yechitatu yovusiku, akawana vakadaro, vakaropafadzwa varanda ivavo.And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
Asi muzive izvi, kuti dai mwene weimba aiziva nguva inovuya nayo mbavha, ungadai akarindira akasatendera kuti imba yake ipazwe.And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
Nemi vo mugare mazvigadzirira, nokuti Mwanakomana womunhu uchavuya nenguva yamusingafungi.Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
Zvino Petro akati kwaari: Ishe, mufananidzo uyu munoutaura kwatiri, kana kunavose here?Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?
Ishe akati: Ndianiko mutariri wakatendeka, wakachenjera, uchaiswa nashe wake pamusoro pavaranda vake, kuti avape mugove wezvokudya zvavo nenguva yakafanira?And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?
Wakaropafadzwa muranda uyo, unoti, kana ishe wake achisvika, akamuwana achiita saizvozvo.Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri, kuti uchamugadza ave mutariri wezvose zvaanazvo,Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.
Asi kana muranda uyo akareva mumoyo make, achiti: Ishe wangu wanonoka kuvuya; akatanga kurova varanda, varume navakadzi, akadya, akamwa, akabatwa;But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
ishe womuranda uyo uchasvika nezuva raasingatariri, nenguva yaasingazivi, akamurovesa zvikuru, akamupa mugove wake pamwe chete navasakatendeka.The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
Muranda uyo wakaziva kuda kwashe wake, akasagadzira, kana kuita kuda kwake, ucharobwa zvizhinji.And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
Asi usina kuziva, akaita zvakafanira kurobwa, ucharobwa zvishoma. Wakapiwa zvizhinji, zvizhinji zvichatsvakwa kwaari; unotendwa nezvizhinji, vachareva zvinopfuvurisa kwaari.But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
Ndakavuya kuzokanda moto panyika; zvino ndinoti: Dai watobatidzwa hawo!I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I if it be already kindled?
Ndinorubhabhatidzo rwandichabhabhatidzwa narwo; ndinomanikidzwa sei kusvikira zvichiitika.But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
Munofunga kuti ndakavuya kuzopa rugare panyika here? Ndinoti kwamuri: Kwete, asi kupesanisa.Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
Nokuti kubva zvino vashanu veimba imwe vachapesana, vatatu vachipesana navaviri, vaviri navatatu.For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
Baba vachapesana nomwanakomana wavo, nomwanakomana nababa vake; mai nomwanasikana wavo, nomwanasikana namai vake; vamwene nomukadzi womwanakomana wavo, nomukadzi womwanakomana navamwene vake.The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Akati kuvanhu vazhinji: Kana muchivona gore richikwira kumavirira,, pakarepo munoti: Mvura ichanaya; zvoitika saizvozvo.And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.
Kana muchivona mhepo ichivhuvhuta ichibva Zasi munoti: Kuchapisa kwazvo; zvoitika.And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.
Imi vanyengeri, munoziva kududzira zvamunovona zvenyika nezvokudenga, asi hamuzivi nei kududzira nguva ino?Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?
Munoregereiko kuzvitongera mumene zvakaruramaYea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
Nokuti kana uchienda kunashe nomudzivisi wako, idza kuti uregedzwe naye muchiri munzira; kuti arege kukukwirira kumutongi, mutongi akuise kumupurisa mupurisa akusunge mutorongo.When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.
Ndinoti kwauri, haungatongobudimo, usati waripa kamari kwokupedzisira.I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.
