1And having called to [him] his twelve disciples, he gave them power over unclean spirits, so that they should cast them out, and heal every disease and every bodily weakness.
1Zvino wakadanira kwaari vadzidzi vake gumi nevaviri, akavapa simba pamusoro pemweya yetsvina, kuti vaibudise nekuporesa ukosha hwose neurwere hwose.
2Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who was called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the [son] of Zebedee, and John his brother;
2Zvino mazita evaapositori gumi nevaviri ndiwawa: Wekutanga, Simoni, unonzi Petro, naAndiriya munin'ina wake; Jakobho waZebhedhi, naJohwani munin'ina wake;
3Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the tax-gatherer; James the [son] of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, who was surnamed Thaddaeus;
3Firipi, naBhatoromeo; Tomasi, naMatewu muteresi; Jakobho waArifiyo, naRebheu wainziwo Tadhiyo;
4Simon the Cananaean, and Judas the Iscariote, who also delivered him up.
4Simoni muKanani, naJudhasi Isikarioti iyewo wakamutengesa.
5These twelve Jesus sent out when he had charged them, saying, Go not off into [the] way of [the] nations, and into a city of Samaritans enter ye not;
5Ava gumi nevaviri Jesu akavatuma, akavaraira, achiti: Musaenda munzira yevahedheni, musapinda muguta revaSamaria;
6but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
6asi zvikuru muende kumakwai akarasika eimba yaIsraeri.
7And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of the heavens has drawn nigh.
7Zvino pakufamba, muparidze muchiti: Ushe hwekumatenga hwaswedera.
8Heal [the] infirm, [raise the dead], cleanse lepers, cast out demons: ye have received gratuitously, give gratuitously.
8Poresai vanorwara, natsai vane maperembudzi, mutsai vakafa, budisai madhimoni. Makagamuchira pachena, ipai pachena.
9Do not provide yourselves with gold, or silver, or brass, for your belts,
9Musawana ndarama, kana sirivheri, kana ndarira mubhanhire renyu,
10nor scrip for the way, nor two body coats, nor sandals, nor a staff: for the workman is worthy of his nourishment.
10kana homwe yerwendo, kana shati mbiri, kana manyatera, kana tsvimbo; nekuti mushandi wakafanira chikafu chake.
11But into whatsoever city or village ye enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there remain till ye go forth.
11Muguta ripi neripi kana mumusha wamunopinda, bvunzai kuti ndiani mauri wakafanira, mugarepo, kusvikira muchibva.
12And as ye enter into a house salute it.
12Zvino kana muchipinda mumba, muikwazise.
13And if the house indeed be worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.
13Kana imba yakafanira, rugare rwenyu ngaruuye pamusoro payo, asi kana isingafaniri, rugare rwenyu ngarudzokere kwamuri.
14And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, as ye go forth out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
14Uye ani nani usingakugamuchiriyi, kana kuteerera mashoko enyu, kana muchibuda paimba iyo kana paguta iro, zuzai guruva retsoka dzenyu.
15Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in judgment-day than for that city.
15Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Zvicharerukira nyika yeSodhoma neyeGomora nezuva rekutongwa kupfuura guta iro.
16Behold, *I* send you as sheep in the midst of wolves; be therefore prudent as the serpents, and guileless as the doves.
16Tarirai, ini ndinokutumai semakwai pakati pemapumhi; naizvozvo chenjerai senyoka mururame senjiva.
17But beware of men; for they will deliver you up to sanhedrims, and scourge you in their synagogues;
17Asi svinurirai vanhu; nekuti vachakukumikidzai kudare remakurukota, uye vachakurovai netyava mumasinagoge avo;
18and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.
18zvino muchauiswawo pamberi pevatungamiriri nemadzimambo nekuda kwangu, chive uchapupu kwavari nekuvahedheni.
19But when they deliver you up, be not careful how or what ye shall speak; for it shall be given to you in that hour what ye shall speak.
19Asi kana vachikukumikidzai, musafunganya kuti muchataura sei kana chinyi; nekuti muchapiwa nenguva iyo chamuchataura.
20For *ye* are not the speakers, but the Spirit of your Father which speaks in you.
20Nekuti hamusi imwi munotaura asi Mweya waBaba venyu unotaura mamuri.
21But brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father child; and children shall rise up against parents and shall put them to death;
21Mwanakomana wamai uchakumikidza mwanakomana wamai kurufu, nababa mwana; uye vana vachamukira vabereki nekuvauraya.
22and ye shall be hated of all on account of my name. But he that has endured to [the] end, *he* shall be saved.
22Uye muchavengwa nevose nekuda kwezita rangu; asi unotsungirira kusvika pakuguma, ndiye uchaponeswa.
23But when they persecute you in this city, flee to the other; for verily I say to you, Ye shall not have completed the cities of Israel until the Son of man be come.
23Asi kana vachikushushai muguta iri, tizirai kune rimwe; nekuti zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Hamungapedzi maguta aIsraeri, kusvikira Mwanakomana wemunhu asvika.
24The disciple is not above his teacher, nor the bondman above his lord.
24Mudzidzi haasi pamusoro pemudzidzisi, kana muranda pamusoro paishe wake.
25[It is] sufficient for the disciple that he should become as his teacher, and the bondman as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more those of his household?
25Zvakaringanira mudzidzi kuti ave semudzidzisi wake, nemuranda saishe wake. Kana vaidza Ishe weimba kuti Bheerizebhuri, vachadaro zvikuru sei veimba yake!
26Fear them not therefore; for there is nothing covered which shall not be revealed, and secret which shall not be known.
26Naizvozvo musavatya; nekuti hakuna chakafukidzwa chisingazobvundunurwi; kana chakavanzika chisingazozikamwi.
27What I say to you in darkness speak in the light, and what ye hear in the ear preach upon the houses.
27Zvandinokuudzai murima, taurai pachiedza, nezvamunonzwa munzeve, paridzirai pamusoro pematenga edzimba.
28And be not afraid of those who kill the body, but cannot kill the soul; but fear rather him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
28Uye musatya vanouraya muviri, asi havagoni kuuraya mweya; asi mutye zvikuru uyo unogona kuparadza zvose mweya nemuviri mugehena.
29Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall to the ground without your Father;
29Ko dhimba mbiri hadzitengeswi nekobiri here? Asi imwe yadzo haingawiri pasi kunze kwekuda kwaBaba venyu.
30but of you even the hairs of the head are all numbered.
30Asi nevhudzi remusoro wenyu rakaverengwa rose.
31Fear not therefore; *ye* are better than many sparrows.
31Naizvozvo musatya, imwi munopfuura dhimba zhinji.
32Every one therefore who shall confess me before men, *I* also will confess him before my Father who is in [the] heavens.
32Naizvozvo umwe neumwe uchandibvuma pamberi pevanhu, iye ndichamubvumawo pamberi paBaba vangu vari kumatenga.
33But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will *I* also deny before my Father who is in [the] heavens.
33Asi ani nani unondiramba pamberi pevanhu, iye ndichamurambawo pamberi paBaba vangu vari kumatenga.
34Do not think that I have come to send peace upon the earth: I have not come to send peace, but a sword.
34Musafunga kuti ndakauya kuzoisa rugare panyika; handina kuuya kuzoisa rugare, asi munondo.
35For I have come to set a man at variance with his father, and the daughter with her mother, and the daughter-in-law with her mother-in-law;
35Nekuti ndakauya kuzopesanisa munhu nababa vake, nemukunda namai vake, nemuroora navamwene vake;
36and they of his household [shall be] a man's enemies.
36nevavengi vemunhu ndeveimba yake.
37He who loves father or mother above me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter above me is not worthy of me.
37Unoda baba kana mai kupfuura ini haana kufanira ini; neunoda mwanakomana kana mukunda kupfuura ini haana kufanira ini;
38And he who does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me.
38uye usingatori muchinjikwa wake akanditevera, haana kufanira ini.
39He that finds his life shall lose it, and he who has lost his life for my sake shall find it.
39Unowana mweya wake ucharashikirwa nawo; asi unorashikirwa nemweya wake nekuda kwangu uchauwana.
40He that receives you receives me, and he that receives me receives him that sent me.
40Uyo unogamuchira imwi unogamuchira ini; neunogamuchira ini unogamuchira iye wakandituma.
41He that receives a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man, shall receive a righteous man's reward.
41Unogamuchira muporofita muzita remuporofita uchawana mubairo wemuporofita; neunogamuchira wakarurama muzita rewakarurama uchawana mubairo wewakarurama.
42And whosoever shall give to drink to 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.
42Uye ani nani unonwisa umwe wevaduku ava mukombe chete wemvura inotonhora muzita remudzidzi, zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Haangatongorashikirwi nemubairo wake.
