¹Zvino zvakaitika nesabata rechipiri shure kwerekutanga, achigura nemuminda yezviyo, vadzidzi vake vatanha hura, vakadya, vachidzipukuta nemaoko.

¹And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands.

²Asi vamwe vevaFarisi vakati kwavari: Munoitirei zvisiri pamutemo kuita nemasabata?

²And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days?

³Zvino Jesu achivapindura, wakati: Hamuna kuverenga kunyange Dhavhidhi zvaakaita, paakange ava nenzara iye nevakange vanaye,

³And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was an hungred, and they which were with him;

⁴kuti wakapinda sei mumba maMwari, akatora akadya zvingwa zvekuratidza, akapavo vakange vanaye; izvo zvisiri pamutemo kudyiwa asi nevapristi vega?

⁴How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone?

⁵Ndokuti kwavari: Mwanakomana wemunhu ndiIshe wesabatawo.

⁵And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

⁶Zvino zvakaitikawo nerimwe sabata kuti wakapinda musinagoge, akadzidzisa; zvino kwakange kune munhu ipapo weruoko rwake rwerudyi rwakawonyana.

⁶And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered.

⁷Vanyori nevaFarisi vakamutarisisa, kuona kana angaporesa nesabata, kuti vawane mhosva yavangamupomera.

⁷And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him.

⁸Asi iye wakaziva mifungo yavo, akati kumunhu wakange ane ruoko rwakawonyana: Simuka, uende unomira pakati. Akasimuka akamira.

⁸But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth.

⁹Zvino Jesu akati kwavari: Ndichakubvunzai chimwe chinhu: Zviri pamutemo here nemasabata kuita zvakanaka kana kuita zvakaipa? Kuponesa upenyu kana kuparadza?

⁹Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?

¹⁰Zvino akaringa-ringa kwavari vose, akati kumunhu: Tambanudza ruoko rwako. Akaita saizvozvo ruoko rwake rwukaporeswa rukagwinya serumwe.

¹⁰And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other.

¹¹Ivo vakazara neupengo; vakataurirana umwe neumwe, kuti vangamuitei Jesu.

¹¹And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus.

¹²Zvino zvakaitika nemazuva iwayo kuti wakabuda akaenda kugomo kundonyengetera; agara usiku hwose mukunyengetera kuna Mwari.

¹²And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.

¹³Zvino kwakati kwaedza, akadanira vadzidzi vake kwaari; akasanangura kwavari gumi nevaviri, vaakatumidzawo kuti vaapositori;

¹³And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;

¹⁴Simoni, waakatumidzawo Petro, naAndiriya munin'ina wake, Jakobho naJohwani, Firipi naBhatoromiyo,

¹⁴Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,

¹⁵Matewu naTomasi, Jakobho waArifiyosi, naSimoni wainzi Ziroti;

¹⁵Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes,

¹⁶Judhasi waJakobho, naJudhasi Isikariyoti, wakazovawo mutengesi.

¹⁶And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor.

¹⁷Akaburuka navo, akamira pakaenzana, nechaunga chevadzidzi vake, nechaunga chikuru chavanhu vaibva Judhiya rose neJerusarema, nepagungwa reTire neSidoni, vakauya kuzomunzwa, nekuporeswa pazvifo zvavo;

¹⁷And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;

¹⁸nevakange vachitambudziwa nemweya yetsvina, vakaporeswa.

¹⁸And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed.

¹⁹Chaunga chose chikatsvaka kumubata; nekuti kwakabuda simba kwaari rikaporesa vose.

¹⁹And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all.

²⁰Ndokusimudzira meso ake kuvadzidzi vake, akati: Makaropafadzwa varombo, nekuti ushe hwaMwari ndohwenyu.

²⁰And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.

²¹Makaropafadzwa imwi munenzara zvino, nekuti muchagutiswa. Makaropafadzwa imwi munochema ikozvino, nekuti muchaseka.

²¹Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.

²²Makaropafadzwa, kana vanhu vachikuvengai, uye kana vachikusarurai, vachikunyombai, vachirasha zita renyu serakashata, nekuda kweMwanakomana wemunhu.

²²Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.

²³Farai nezuva iro, muuruke nemufaro; nekuti tarirai, mubairo wenyu mukuru kudenga; nekuti saizvozvo ndizvo zvakaita madzibaba avo kuvaporofita.

²³Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.

²⁴Asi mune nhamo imwi vakafuma! Nekuti magamuchira nyaradzo yenyu.

²⁴But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.

²⁵Mune nhamo imwi munoguta! Nekuti muchanzwa nzara. Mune nhamo imwi munoseka zvino! Nekuti muchachema nekuwungudza.

²⁵Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.

²⁶Mune nhamo kana vanhu vose vachitaura zvakanaka pamusoro penyu! Nekuti madzibaba avo akaita saizvozvo kuvaporofita venhema.

²⁶Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.

²⁷Asi ndinoti kwamuri munonzwa: Idai mhandu dzenyu, itai zvakanaka kune vanokuvengai,

²⁷But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,

²⁸ropafadzai vanokutukai, munyengeterere vanokubatai zvakaipa.

²⁸Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.

²⁹Kune unokurova padama, umupe rimwewo; unokutorera nguvo yako, usarambidza neshati yako.

²⁹And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.

³⁰Asi upe umwe neumwe unokumbira kwauri; neunokutorera zvako, usazvirevazve.

³⁰Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.

³¹Sezvamunoda kuti vanhu vaite kwamuri, imwi muvaitirewo saizvozvo.

³¹And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.

³²Uye kana muchida avo vanokudai, mune kuvongwa kwakadini? Nekuti vatadziwo vanoda vanovada.

³²For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.

³³Uye kana muchiitira zvakanaka kune avo vanokuitirai zvakanaka, mune kuvongwa kwakadini? Nekuti vatadzi vanoitawo izvozvo.

³³And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.

³⁴Uye kana muchikweretesa vamunotarisira kugamuchira kwavari, mune kuvongwa kwakadini? Nekuti vatadzi vanokweretesawo vatadzi, kuti vagamuchirezve zvakaenzana nazvo.

³⁴And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.

³⁵Asi idai vavengi venyu, muite zvakanaka, mukweretese musingatarisirizve chinhu; zvino mubairo wenyu uchava mukuru, mugova vana veWokumusoro-soro; nekuti iye unemoyo munyoro kune vasingavongi nevakaipa.

³⁵But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.

³⁶Naizvozvo ivai netsitsi, sababa venyuwo vane tsitsi.

³⁶Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

³⁷Musatonga, mugorega kutongwawo; musapa mhosva, mugorega kupiwawo mhosva; regererai, mugoregererwawo.

³⁷Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:

³⁸Ipai, mugopiwawo; chiyero chakanaka, chakatsikirirwa, nekuzunguzirwa, chinopfachukira vachakupai pachifuva chenyu. Nekuti nechiyero ichocho chamunoyera nacho muchayerwa nacho zvekare.

³⁸Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

³⁹Akataura mufananidzo kwavari akati: Kuti bofu ringatungamirira bofu here? Ko haangawiri mugomba ari maviri here?

³⁹And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?

⁴⁰Mudzidzi haasi pamusoro pemudzidzisi wake; asi umwe neumwe kana apedzeredzwa uchava semudzidzisi wake.

⁴⁰The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.

⁴¹Uye unotarirei rubanzu ruri muziso reumwe wako, asi danda riri muziso rako pachako haurinanzereri?

⁴¹And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

⁴²Kana unogona kureva sei kune umwe wako, uchiti: Umwe wangu, rega ndibudise rubanzu ruri muziso rako, iwe pachako usingaoni danda riri muziso rako? Iwe munyepedzeri, budisa pakutanga danda kubva muziso rako, zvino ipapo uchaona zvakanaka kubudisa rubanzu ruri muziso reumwe wako.

⁴²Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.

⁴³Nekuti hausi muti wakanaka unobereka chibereko chakaipa; kana muti wakaipa unobereka chibereko chakanaka.

⁴³For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

⁴⁴Nekuti muti umwe neumwe unozikamwa nechibereko chawo pachawo. Nekuti pamhinzwa, havatanhi maonde, kana parukato kutanha mazambiringa.

⁴⁴For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.

⁴⁵Munhu wakanaka kubva pafuma yakanaka yemoyo wake unobudisa zvakanaka, nemunhu wakaipa kubva pafuma yakaipa yemoyo wake unobudisa zvakaipa; nekuti kubva pazvizere mumoyo make muromo wake unotaura.

⁴⁵A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

⁴⁶Zvino munondiidzirei Ishe, Ishe, musingaiti zvinhu zvandinoreva?

⁴⁶And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

⁴⁷Ani nani unouya kwandiri akanzwa mashoko angu akaaita, ndichakuratidzai kuti wakafanana nani;

⁴⁷Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:

⁴⁸wakafanana nemunhu wakavaka imba, akachera akadzikisa, akateya nheyo paruware; zvino mafashame akati auya, rukova rukarova zvine simba paimba iyo, rukasagona kuizunungusa; nekuti yakange yakateyiwa paruware.

⁴⁸He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.

⁴⁹Asi unonzwa asingaiti, wakafanana nemunhu wakavaka imba pavhu isina nheyo; ipo rukova rwakarova nesimba, pakarepo ikawa, kuwa kweimba iyo kukava kukuru.

⁴⁹But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.
