1Musatonga, kuti imwi murege kutongwa,
1Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2nekuti muchatongwa nekutonga kwamunotonga nako; uye muchayerwa nechiyero chamunoyera nacho zvekare.
2For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3Unotaririrei rubanzu ruri muziso reumwe wako, asi usingananzereri danda riri muziso rako?
3And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4Kana ungataura sei kune umwe wako uchiti: Rega ndivhomore rubanzu muziso rako, asi tarira, danda riri muziso rako?
4Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5Munyepedzeri, tanga kuvhomora danda muziso rako, ugoona kwazvo kuvhomora rubanzu muziso reumwe wako.
5Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
6Musapa chitsvene kumbwa, kana kukandira maparera* enyu pamberi penguruve, zvimwe dzingaatsika netsoka dzadzo, dzikatendeuka dzikakubvamburai.
6Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
7Kumbirai, muchapiwa; tsvakai, muchawana; gogodzai, muchazarurirwa.
7Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8Nekuti umwe neumwe anokumbira anogamuchira, neanotsvaka anowana, neanogogodza anozarurirwa.
8For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
9Kana ndeupi munhu kwamuri, iye kana mwanakomana wake akakumbira chingwa, achamupa ibwe?
9Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
10Kana kuti akakumbira hove achamupa nyoka?
10Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11Zvino kana imwi makaipa muchiziva zvipo zvakanaka zvekupa vana venyu, Baba venyu vari kumatenga vachapfuurisa sei kupa zvinhu zvakanaka ivo vanovakumbira?
11If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
12Naizvozvo zvinhu zvose zvamunoda kuti vanhu vakuitirei, muvaitirewo ivo saizvozvo; nekuti uyu ndiwo murairo nevaporofita.
12Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
13Pindai nesuwo rakamanikana; nekuti suwo rakafara nenzira yakapamhamha inoenda kukuparadzwa, vazhinji varipo vanopinda naro.
13Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14Nekuti suwo rakamanikana nenzira nhete inoenda kuupenyu, uye vashoma vanoiwana.
14Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
15Asi chenjerai vaporofita venhema, vanouya kwamuri nezvipfeko zvemakwai, asi mukati mapumhi anoparadza.
15Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16Muchavaziva nezvibereko zvavo; vanhu vanotanha mazambiringa pamhinzwa here, kana maonde parubayambeva?
16Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17Saizvozvo muti umwe neumwe wakanaka unobereka zvibereko zvakanaka, asi muti wakaipa unobereka zvibereko zvakaipa;
17Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18muti wakanaka haungabereki zvibereko zvakaipa, nemuti wakaipa haubereki zvibereko zvakanaka.
18A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19Muti umwe neumwe usingabereki zvibereko zvakanaka unotemwa wokandirwa mumoto.
19Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20Naizvozvo kubva pazvibereko zvavo muchavaziva.
20Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21Haasi wose anoti kwandiri: Ishe, Ishe, achapinda muushe hwekumatenga; asi anoita kuda kwaBaba vangu vari kumatenga.
21Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22Vazhinji vachati kwandiri pazuva iro: Ishe, Ishe, hatina kuporofita muzita renyu here, tikabudisa madhimoni muzita renyu, tikaita mabasa esimba mazhinji muzita renyu?
22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23Zvino ipapo ndichareva kwavari pachena ndichiti: Handina kukuzivai chero nguva; ibvai kwandiri imwi vaiti vezvakaipa.
23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
24Naizvozvo umwe neumwe anonzwa mashoko angu awa, akaaita, ndichamufananidza nemurume wakachenjera, wakavaka imba yake paruware.
24Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25Mvura ikaturuka, mafashame akauya, mitutu ikavhuvhuta, ikarova paimba iyo, ikasawa; nekuti yakange yakateyiwa paruware.
25And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26Zvino umwe neumwe anonzwa mashoko angu awa, akasaaita, uchafananidzwa nemurume benzi, wakavaka imba yake pajecha;
26And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27mvura ikaturuka, mafashame akauya, mitutu ikavhuvhuta, ikarova imba iyo, ikawa, kuwa kwayo kukava kukuru.
27And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
28Zvino zvakaitika kuti Jesu apedza mashoko iwawa, zvaunga zvakashamiswa nedzidziso yake.
28And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
29Nekuti wakavadzidzisa seune simba, kwete sevanyori.
29For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
