Luke 7
1 And when he had completed all his words in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
Jesu akati apedza kutaura zvose izvi vanhu vachizvinzwa, akapinda muKapenaume.
2 And a certain centurion's bondman who was dear to him was ill and about to die;
Imomo maiva nomuranda womukuru wezana, aidiwa chose natenzi wake, akanga achirwara uye ava kuda kufa.
3 and having heard of Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, begging him that he might come and save his bondman.
Mukuru wezana akanzwa nezvaJesu uye akatuma vamwe vakuru vavaJudha kwaari, achimukumbira kuti auye kuzoporesa muranda wake.
4 But they, being come to Jesus, besought him diligently, saying, He is worthy to whom thou shouldest grant this,
Vakati vasvika kuna Jesu, vakamukumbira zvikuru vachiti, “Murume uyu akafanira kuti mumuitire izvi,
5 for he loves our nation, and himself has built the synagogue for us.
nokuti anoda rudzi rwedu uye ndiye akavaka sinagoge redu.”
6 And Jesus went with them. But already, when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent to him friends, saying to him, Lord, do not trouble thyself, for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof.
Naizvozvo Jesu akaenda navo. Akanga asiri kure nomusha pakatumwa shamwari nomukuru wezana kuti dzinoti kwaari, “Ishe, musazvinetsa zvenyu, nokuti handina kukodzera kuti imi mupinde mumba mangu.
7 Wherefore neither did I count myself worthy to come to thee. But say by a word and my servant shall be healed.
Ndokusaka ndisina kumbofunga kuti ini ndive nekodzero yokuuya kwamuri. Asi, taurai henyu shoko, uye muranda wangu achapora.
8 For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers, and I say to this [one], Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my bondman, Do this, and he does [it].
Nokuti ini pachangu, ndiri munhu ari pasi pavamwe, uye ndine varwi vari pasi pangu. Ndinoti kuno uyu, ‘Enda,’ uye anoenda, kuno mumwe, ‘Uya’ uye anouya. Ndinoti kumuranda wangu, ‘Ita ichi,’ uye anochiita.”
9 And Jesus hearing this wondered at him, and turning to the crowd following him said, I say to you, Not even in Israel have I found so great faith.
Jesu akati anzwa izvi, akashamiswa kwazvo naye, akatendeukira kuvanhu vazhinji vaimutevera akati, “Ndinoti kwamuri, handina kumboona kutenda kwakadai kunyange muIsraeri.”
10 And they who had been sent returning to the house found the bondman, who was ill, in good health.
Ipapo varume vaya vakanga vatumwa vakadzokera kumba vakawana muranda uya apora.
11 And it came to pass afterwards he went into a city called Nain, and many of his disciples and a great crowd went with him.
Pasina kupera nguva refu, Jesu akaenda kuguta rainzi Naini, vadzidzi vake navanhu vazhinji kwazvo vakaendawo naye.
12 And as he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was carried out, the only son of his mother, and she a widow, and a very considerable crowd of the city [was] with her.
Kuzoti ave kuswedera pasuo reguta, munhu akafa akanga akatakurwa achiburitswa kunze, aingova mwanakomana mumwe chete wamai vake, uye vakanga vari chirikadzi. Uye vanhu vazhinji kwazvo vaibva muguta vaiva navo.
13 And the Lord, seeing her, was moved with compassion for her, and said to her, Weep not;
Ishe akati achivaona, mwoyo wake wakavanzwira tsitsi, akati kwavari, “Musachema.”
14 and coming up he touched the bier, and the bearers stopped. And he said, Youth, I say to thee, Wake up.
Ipapo akaswedera pedyo akabata hwanyanza, uye vaya vakanga vakamutakura vakamira. Akati, “Jaya, ndinoti kwauri, muka!”
15 And the dead sat up and began to speak; and he gave him to his mother.
Munhu uya akanga afa akamuka akagara akatanga kutaura, uye Jesu akamupa kuna mai vake.
16 And fear seized on all, and they glorified God, saying, A great prophet has been raised up amongst us; and God has visited his people.
Vose vakazadzwa nokutya vakarumbidza Mwari. Vakati, “Muprofita mukuru amuka pakati pedu. Mwari auya kuzobatsira vanhu vake.”
17 And this report went out in all Judaea concerning him, and in all the surrounding country.
Shoko iri pamusoro paJesu rakapararira muJudhea yose nenyika dzose dzakapoteredza.
18 And the disciples of John brought him word concerning all these things:
Vadzidzi vaJohani vakamuudza pamusoro pezvinhu izvi zvose. Akadana vaviri vavo,
19 and John, having called two of his disciples, sent to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that is coming, or are we to wait for another?
akavatuma kuna She kuti vandobvunza kuti, “Ndimi here iye aifanira kuuya kana kuti tomirira mumwewo?”
20 But the men having come to him said, John the baptist has sent us to thee, saying, Art thou he that is coming, or are we to wait for another?
Varume ava vakati vasvika kuna Jesu, vakati, “Johani Mubhabhatidzi akatituma kwamuri kuti tizobvunza kuti, ‘Ndimi here mainzi muchauya, kana kuti timirire mumwewo?’”
21 In that hour he healed many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits, and to many blind he granted sight.
Panguva iyoyo Jesu akaporesa vazhinji vakanga vane zvirwere, matenda nemweya yakaipa uye akasvinudza vazhinji vakanga vari mapofu.
22 And Jesus answering said to them, Go, bring back word to John of what ye have seen and heard: that blind see, lame walk, lepers are cleansed, deaf hear, dead are raised, poor are evangelized;
Saka akapindura nhume achiti, “Dzokerai munoudza Johani zvamaona nezvamanzwa zvokuti: Mapofu anosvinudzwa, zvirema zvinofamba, vaya vana maperembudzi vanoporeswa, matsi dzinonzwa, vakafa vanomutswa uye vhangeri riri kuparidzwa kuvarombo.
23 and blessed is whosoever shall not be offended in me.
Akaropafadzwa munhu asingagumbuswi nokuda kwangu.”
24 And the messengers of John having departed, he began to speak to the crowds concerning John: What went ye out into the wilderness to behold? a reed shaken by the wind?
Shure kwokubva kwenhume dzaJohani, Jesu akatanga kutaura kuvanhu vazhinji pamusoro paJohani achiti, “Makabuda mukaenda kurenje kundooneiko? Rutsanga rwaizungunuswa nemhepo here?
25 But what went ye out to see? a man clothed in delicate garments? Behold, those who are in splendid clothing and live luxuriously are in the courts of kings.
Kana zvisizvo, makabuda kundooneiko? Munhu akanga akafuka nguo dzakanaka here? Kwete, vaya vanopfeka nguo dzomutengo mukuru uye vanogara zvakanaka ndivo vari mumizinda.
26 But what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say to you, and [what is] more excellent than a prophet.
Asi makabuda kundooneiko? Muprofita here? Hongu, ndinokuudzai, uyewo anokunda muprofita.
27 This is he concerning whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee;
Ndiye uya akanyorwa nezvake zvichinzi: “‘Ndichatuma nhume yangu pamberi pako, uyo achakugadzirira nzira yako pamberi pako.’
28 for I say unto you, Among them that are born of women a greater [prophet] is no one than John [the baptist]; but he who is a little one in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
Ndinokuudzai kuti, pakati paavo vose vakaberekwa navakadzi hakuna mukuru kuna Johani; asi muduku muumambo hwaMwari mukuru kwaari.”
29 (And all the people who heard [it], and the tax-gatherers, justified God, having been baptised with the baptism of John;
Vanhu vose, kunyange navateresi, vakati vanzwa mashoko aJesu, vakabvuma kuti nzira yaMwari yakarurama, nokuti vakanga vabhabhatidzwa naJohani.
30 but the Pharisees and the lawyers rendered null as to themselves the counsel of God, not having been baptised by him.)
Asi vaFarisi nenyanzvi dzomurayiro vakaramba kuda kwaMwari pamusoro pavo, nokuti vakanga vasina kubhabhatidzwa naJohani.
31 To whom therefore shall I liken the men of this generation, and to whom are they like?
“Zvino, ndingafananidza rudzi rwakadai neiko? Vakafanana neiko?
32 They are like children sitting in the market-place, and calling one to another and saying, We have piped to you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.
Vakaita savana vagere pamusika vachidanidzira kuno mumwe nomumwe wavo vachiti: “‘Takakuridzirai hwamanda, asi hamuna kutamba; takaimba rwiyo rworufu, uye hamuna kuchema.’
33 For John the baptist has come neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say, He has a demon.
Nokuti Johani Mubhabhatidzi akauya asingadyi chingwa uye asinganwi waini, imi mukati, ‘Ane dhimoni.’
34 The Son of man has come eating and drinking, and ye say, Behold an eater and wine-drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers and sinners;
Mwanakomana woMunhu akauya achidya uye achinwa, imi mukati, ‘Houno munhu wamadyo uye chidhakwa, shamwari yavateresi na“vatadzi”.’
35 and wisdom has been justified of all her children.
Asi uchenjeri hunoratidzwa navana vahwo vose.”
36 But one of the Pharisees begged him that he would eat with him. And entering into the house of the Pharisee he took his place at table;
Zvino mumwe wavaFarisi akakoka Jesu kuti azodya naye, saka akaenda kumba kwomuFarisi uyu akandogara kuti adye.
37 and behold, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, and knew that he was sitting at meat in the house of the Pharisee, having taken an alabaster box of myrrh,
Mumwe mukadzi womuguta umu akanga achirarama muzvivi akati anzwa kuti Jesu akanga agere pakudya mumba momuFarisi, akauya nechinu chamafuta anonhuhwira chearabhasta,
38 and standing at his feet behind [him] weeping, began to wash his feet with tears; and she wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed [them] with the myrrh.
akamira shure kwake akatanga kuchema, uye akanyorovesa tsoka dzake nemisodzi yake. Ipapo akadzipukuta nebvudzi romusoro wake, akadzitsvoda uye akadzizodza mafuta anonhuhwira.
39 And the Pharisee who had invited him, seeing it, spoke with himself saying, This [person] if he were a prophet would have known who and what the woman is who touches him, for she is a sinner.
Zvino muFarisi uya akanga amukoka akati achiona izvi, akati mumwoyo make, “Dai munhu uyu anga ari muprofita, angadai aziva kuti mukadzi uyu amubata akaita sei, kuti mutadzi.”
40 And Jesus answering said to him, Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. And he says, Teacher, say [it].
Jesu akamupindura akati, “Simoni, ndine chinhu chandinoda kukutaurira.” Iye akati, “Ndiudzei henyu mudzidzisi.”
41 There were two debtors of a certain creditor: one owed five hundred denarii and the other fifty;
“Vamwe varume vaviri vakanga vane chikwereti kumunhu mumwe chete. Mumwe akanga ane chikwereti chamadhenari mazana mashanu, uye mumwe madhenari makumi mashanu.
42 but as they had nothing to pay, he forgave both of them [their debt]: [say, ] which of them therefore will love him most?
Hakuna akanga ane mari yokuripa chikwereti pavari vose vari vaviri, saka nyakukweretesa akadzima zvikwereti zvavo vose. Zvino ndoupiko pauviri hwavo achanyanya kumuda?”
43 And Simon answering said, I suppose he to whom he forgave the most. And he said to him, Thou hast rightly judged.
Simoni akapindura akati, “Ndinofunga kuti ndouya akadzimirwa chikwereti chikuru.” Jesu akati, “Wataura zvakanaka.”
44 And turning to the woman he said to Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house; thou gavest me not water on my feet, but she has washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with her hair.
Ipapo akatendeukira kumukadzi ndokuti kuna Simoni, “Unoona here mukadzi uyu? Ndapinda mumba mako; hauna kundipa kana mvura yokugeza tsoka dzangu, asi uyu anyorovesa tsoka dzangu nemisodzi yake uye akadzipukuta nebvudzi romusoro wake.
45 Thou gavest me not a kiss, but she from the time I came in has not ceased kissing my feet.
Iwe hauna kunditsvoda, asi mukadzi uyu, kubvira panguva yandapinda, haana kurega kutsvoda tsoka dzangu.
46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she has anointed my feet with myrrh.
Iwe hauna kuzodza musoro wangu namafuta, asi iye adira zvinonhuhwira patsoka dzangu.
47 For which cause I say to thee, Her many sins are forgiven; for she loved much; but he to whom little is forgiven loves little.
Naizvozvo, ndinokuudza kuti zvivi zvake zvizhinji zvaregererwa nokuti iye ada zvikuru. Asi uya akaregererwa zvishoma, anodawo zvishoma.”
48 And he said to her, Thy sins are forgiven.
Ipapo Jesu akati kwaari, “Zvivi zvako zvaregererwa.”
49 And they that were with [them] at table began to say within themselves, Who is this who forgives also sins?
Vamwe vakanga vakokwa vakatanga kutaura pakati pavo vachiti, “Ndianiko uyu anoti kunyange nezvivi anokanganwira?”
50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith has saved thee; go in peace.
Jesu akati kumukadzi, “Kutenda kwako kwakuponesa; chienda norugare.”
