• Matewu 7

    1   “Mingayavanyisi, akuva mingetiyavanyisiwa;

    2   hikusa mayavanyisela lawa miyavanyisaka ha wone, mitayavanyisiwa ha wone na n’wine, nakone mpimu lowu mipimaka ha wone, mitapimiwa ha wone na n’wine.

    3   Xilesvo, ulangusela yini xilavi lexinga tihlweni dzra makwenu kambe ungavoni ntsrandzra lowunga tihlweni dzraku?

    4   Kumbe ungasvikotisa kuyini kubzela makwenu, uku: ‘Yima nikususa xilavi atihlweni dzraku’, na kasi ku ni ntsrandzra tihlweni dzraku?

    5   Mukanganyisi! Zranga hi kususa ntsrandzra lowunga tihlweni dzraku, kutani utasvivona ha hombe lesvaku ungasusisa kuyini xilavi lexinga tihlweni dzra makwenu.

    6   “Minganyiki timbzana minchumu ya kuxwenga nakone mingacukumeti tindzralama tenu amahlweni ka tinguluve, akuva tingatichuka titikandzretela hi minenge ya tone titlhela tindzruluka timihandzrulela.

    7   “Kombelani, kutani mitanyikiwa; juletelani, kutani mitasvikuma; gongondzrani, kutani mitapfuleliwa;

    8   hikusa mani na mani lwakombelaka awanyikiwa; mani na mani lwajuletelaka awasvikuma, nakone mani na mani lwagongondzraka atapfuleliwa.

    9   Kunene, hi mani ka n’wine lweyi, loko n’wanake omukombela pawu, angamunyikaka zribze?

    10   Kumbe loko omukombela nhlampfi, xana angamunyika nyoka?

    11   Kutani ke, lesvi n’wine, nhambilesvi minga vabihi, misvitivaka kuhanana vanenu minchumu leyinene, ngopfungopfu Tatana wenu lwanga matilweni atahanana minchumu leyinene lava vamukombelaka!

    12   “Xilesvo, hinkwasvu lesvi mijulaka lesvaku vhanu vamiyencela svone, na n’wine vayencelani svone. Hikuva lesvi hi lesvi Nawu ni vaprofeta vajulaka kuhlaya svone.

    13   “Nhingenani hi nyangwa ya kukhuma, hikusa nyangwa leyiyisaka akuhelisiweni yiyanamile ni ndlela ya kone i yikulu svinene, kutani lavanhingenaka ha yone i vanyingi;

    14   kambe nyangwa leyiyisaka awuton’wini yikhumile ni ndlela ya kone yilalile, nakone lavayikumaka i vatsrongo.

    15   “Tivonelani ka vaprofeta va madzrimi lavataka ka n’wine na vayambale xikhumba xa hamba, nakuve andzreni i mahava ya kuda mangaxuzri.

    16   Mitavativa hi mihandzru yavu. Ahi svone lesvaku mavhinya amakhayiwi ka minsinya ya mitwa kumbe lesvaku makuwa amakhayiwi ka svitlhavana?

    17   Xisvosvo, nsinya wun’wana ni wun’wana lowunene wupsala mihandzru leyinene, kambe nsinya wun’wana ni wun’wana wa kubola wupsala mihandzru leyingapfunikiki nchumu.

    18   Nsinya lowunene wungepsali mihandzru leyingapfunikiki nchumu; na wone nsinya wa kubola wungepsali mihandzru leyinene.

    19   Nsinya wun’wana ni wun’wana lowungapsalikiki mihandzru leyinene watsremiwa wucukumeteliwa andzrilweni.

    20   Xilesvo, ke, mitavativa hi mihandzru yavu.

    21   “Ahi hinkwavu lavaliki ka mine: ‘Hosi, Hosi,’ vatakanhingena amfun’wini wa matilo, kambe kutanhingena ntsena lweyi ayencaka kuzrandzra ka Tatana wanga lwanga matilweni.

    22   Asikwini dzra kone vanyingi vataku ka mine: ‘Hosi, Hosi, xana ahiprofetanga hi vito dzraku, hihlongola mademona hi vito dzraku, hitlhela hiyenca ni masingita manyingi hi vito dzraku?’

    23   Kutani nitavabzela, niku: ‘Animitivanga ni siku ni dzrin’we! Sukani la ka mine, n’wine vayenci va wubihi!’

    24   “Xilesvo, mani na mani lwayingelaka mazritu yanga lawa atlhela amayenca atafana ni mhunu wa kutlhazriha lwayakiki yindlu yake ahenhla ka zribze.

    25   Kutani kuna mpfula, kubuya maboboma; timheho tihunga tiba yindlu leyo, kambe yingawi hilesvi ayiyakiwe ahenhla ka zribze.

    26   Nakone, mani na mani lwayingelaka mazritu yanga lawa kambe angamayenci atafana ni mhunu wa kumphunta lwayakiki yindlu yake axipfunyeni.

    27   Kutani kuna mpfula, kubuya maboboma; timheho tihunga tiba yindlu leyo, kutani yiwa, nakone mawela ya yone mava lamachavisaka.

    28   Kutani loko Yesu aheta mazritu lawa, svitsrhungu svihlamala hi madondzrisela yake,

    29 hikusa aadondzrisa vhanu svanga mhunu lwanga ni ntamu, kungali kufana ni vatsrali vavu.
