Chitsauko 12.

Saka hama dzangu, netsitsi dzaBaba vedu ndinokukumbirisai: pirai miviri yenyu sechibayiro chipenyu, chitsvene uye chinofadza ivo—kunamata kwenyu kwechokwadi, kunonzwisisika. Musaumbwa nenyika ino, asi mushandurwe nokuvandudzwa kwepfungwa dzenyu, kuti mugone kunzwisisa kuda kwaBaba vedu—kwakanaka, kunofadza, uye kwakakwana.

Nenyasha dzandakapiwa, ndinoudza mumwe nomumwe wenyu: usazvifunga uri mukuru kupfuura zvaunofanira, asi ufunge nokungwara, mumwe nomumwe maererano nechiyero chokutenda chakagoverwa naBaba vedu. Sezvo muviri mumwe une nhengo zhinji, uye nhengo dzose dzisina basa rimwe chetero, saizvozvo isu, kunyange tiri vazhinji, tiri muviri mumwe muna Kristu, uye mumwe nomumwe wedu ndewevamwe. Zvipo zvedu zvakasiyana maererano nenyasha dzatakapiwa: kana chiri chiporofita, chishandisei maererano nokutenda kwedu; kana kuri kushumira, mukushumira kwedu; uyo anodzidzisa, mukudzidzisa kwake; uyo anokurudzira, mukukurudzira; uyo anopa, norupo; uyo anotungamirira, nokushingaira; uyo ane tsitsi, nomufaro.

Rudo ngaruve rwechokwadi. Vengai zvakaipa; batisisai zvakanaka. Idanai norudo rwehama. Kundanai pakuremekedzana. Musashayiwa kushingaira, asi mupise mumweya, muchishumira Ishe. Farai mutariro, tsungirirai mumatambudziko, rambai muchinyengetera. Goveranai navanhu vaBaba vedu pakushayiwa kwavo; tsvakai kugamuchira vaeni.

Ropafadzai vanokutambudzai; ropafadzai, musatuka. Farai navanofara; chemai navanochema. Garisanai murunyararo. Musazvikudza, asi mushamwaridzane navakaderera. Musazviona makachenjera pameso enyu. Musatsiva munhu zvakaipa nezvakaipa; rongai kuita zvinokudzwa pamberi pavanhu vose. Kana zvichibvira, napamunogona napo, garai murugare navanhu vose.

Vadiwa, musazvitsiva; siyirai hasha dzaBaba vedu nzvimbo. Sezvazvakanyorwa: Kutsiva ndokwangu, ndini ndichatsiva, ndizvo zvinotaura Baba vedu.

Asi: “Kana muvengi wako aine nzara, mupe zvokudya; kana ane nyota, mupe zvokunwa; mukuita izvi, uchatutira mazimbe anopisa pamusoro wake.” ^a

Usakundwa nezvakaipa, asi kunda zvakaipa nezvakanaka.
