Matthew 21
1 And when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, at the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
Vakati voswedera kuJerusarema uye vasvika muBhetifage pagomo reMiorivhi, Jesu akatuma vadzidzi vaviri,
2 saying to them, Go into the village over against you, and immediately ye will find an ass tied, and a colt with it; loose [them] and lead [them] to me.
achiti kwavari, “Endai kumusha wamakatarisana nawo uye imomo muchaona mbongoro yakasungirirwa pamwe chete nomwana wayo. Mudzisunungure muuye nadzo kwandiri.
3 And if any one say anything to you, ye shall say, The Lord has need of them, and straightway he will send them.
Kana pano munhu anotaura chinhu kwamuri, mumuudze kuti, Ishe anodzida uye achadzidzosa nokukurumidza.”
4 But all this came to pass, that that might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,
Izvi zvakaitika kuti zvizadzise zvakataurwa kubudikidza nomuprofita achiti:
5 Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold thy King cometh to thee, meek, and mounted upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.
“Muti kuMwanasikana weZioni, ‘Tarira, Mambo wako anouya kwauri, ari munyoro, akatasva mbongoro, ari pamusoro pomwana wembongoro.’”
6 But the disciples, having gone and done as Jesus had ordered them,
Vadzidzi vakaenda vakandoita sezvavakanga varayirwa naJesu.
7 brought the ass and the colt and put their garments upon them, and he sat on them.
Vakauya nembongoro nomwana wayo, vakaisa nguo dzavo pamusoro padzo, uye Jesu akagara pamusoro padzo.
8 But a very great crowd strewed their own garments on the way, and others kept cutting down branches from the trees and strewing them on the way.
Vanhu vazhinji vakawarira nguo dzavo mumugwagwa, vamwewo vakatema mapazi emiti vakaawarira mumugwagwa.
9 And the crowds who went before him and who followed cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; blessed [be] he who comes in the name of [the] Lord; hosanna in the highest.
Vazhinji vakanga vakatungamira mberi navaya vakanga vachitevera vakadanidzira vachiti: “Hosana kuMwanakomana waDhavhidhi!” “Akaropafadzwa uyo anouya muzita raIshe!” “Hosana kumusoro-soro!”
10 And as he entered into Jerusalem, the whole city was moved, saying, Who is this?
Jesu akati apinda muJerusarema, guta rose rakazungunuswa, vakabvunza vachiti, “Ndianiko uyu?”
11 And the crowds said, This is Jesus the prophet who is from Nazareth of Galilee.
Vazhinji vakati, “Uyu ndiye Jesu, muprofita anobva kuNazareta kuGarirea.”
12 And Jesus entered into the temple [of God], and cast out all that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those that sold the doves.
Jesu akapinda munzvimbo yetemberi akadzinga vose vaitenga nokutengesa. Akapidigura tafura dzavaitsinhanha mari nezvigaro zvavaitengesa njiva.
13 And he says to them, It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of robbers.
Akati kwavari, “Kwakanyorwa kuchinzi, ‘Imba yangu ichanzi imba yokunyengetera,’ asi imi mava kuiita ‘bako ramakororo.’”
14 And blind and lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them.
Mapofu navakaremara vakauya kwaari kutemberi, uye akavaporesa.
15 And when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonders which he wrought, and the children crying in the temple and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David, they were indignant,
Asi vaprista vakuru navadzidzisi vomurayiro pavakaona zvinhu zvinoshamisa zvaakaita, uye vana vachidanidzira mutemberi vachiti, “Hosana kuMwanakomana waDhavhidhi,” vakatsamwa.
16 and said to him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus says to them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
Vakamubvunza vachiti, “Uri kunzwa zviri kurehwa navana ava here?” Jesu akavapindura achiti, “Hongu, hamuna kurava here panoti: “‘Pamiromo yavana navacheche makaisa rumbidzo’?”
17 And leaving them he went forth out of the city to Bethany, and there he passed the night.
Uye akavasiya akabuda muguta umu akaenda kuBhetani kwaakandovata.
18 But early in the morning, as he came back into the city, he hungered.
Mangwanani-ngwanani, paakanga ari munzira achidzokera kuguta, akanzwa nzara.
19 And seeing one fig-tree in the way, he came to it and found on it nothing but leaves only. And he says to it, Let there be never more fruit of thee for ever. And the fig-tree was immediately dried up. (aiōn g165)
Akati aona muonde pedyo nomugwagwa, akatsaukira pauri asi haana kuwana chinhu pauri kunze kwamashizha. Ipapo akati kwauri, “Ngakurege kuva nemicherozve pauri!” Pakarepo muti uya wakabva wasvava. (aiōn g165)
20 And when the disciples saw [it], they wondered, saying, How immediately is the fig-tree dried up!
Vadzidzi vakati vazviona, vakakatyamara, vakati, “Ko, muonde uyu wabva wasvava pakarepo sei?”
21 And Jesus answering said to them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and do not doubt, not only shall ye do what [is done] to the fig-tree, but even if ye should say to this mountain, Be thou taken away and be thou cast into the sea, it shall come to pass.
Jesu akapindura akati, “Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti kana mune kutenda uye musingakahadziki, hamungaiti zvaitwa kumuonde uyu chete, asi munogonawo kuti kugomo iri, ‘Enda undozvikanda mugungwa’ uye zvichaitika.
22 And all things whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
Kana muchitenda, muchagamuchira zvose zvamunokumbira mukunyengetera.”
23 And when he came into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him [as he was] teaching, saying, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?
Jesu akapinda muruvazhe rwetemberi, uye paakanga achidzidzisa, vaprista vakuru navakuru vavanhu vakauya kwaari. Vakamubvunza vakati, “Muri kuita zvinhu izvi nesimba ripi? Uye ndiani akakupai simba irori?”
24 And Jesus answering said to them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I also will tell you by what authority I do these things:
Jesu akapindura akati, “Nemiwo ndichakubvunzai mubvunzo mumwe chete. Kana mukandipindura ndichakuudzaiwo simba randiri kuita naro zvinhu izvi.
25 The baptism of John, whence was it? of heaven or of men? And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we should say, Of heaven, he will say to us, Why then have ye not believed him?
Rubhabhatidzo rwaJohani rwakabvepi? Rwakabva kudenga here kana kuvanhu?” Vakataurirana pakati pavo vachiti, “Kana tikati, ‘Rwakabva kudenga’ achazobvunza kuti, ‘Zvino makaregerei kumutenda?’
26 but if we should say, Of men, we fear the crowd, for all hold John for a prophet.
Asi kana tikati, ‘Rwakabva kuvanhu,’ tinotya vanhu, nokuti vose vanotenda kuti Johani aiva muprofita.”
27 And answering Jesus they said, We do not know. He also said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
Saka vakapindura Jesu vachiti, “Hatizivi.” Ipapo iye akati, “Neni handingakuudzeiwo simba randinoita naro zvinhu izvi.”
28 But what think ye? A man had two children, and coming to the first he said, Child, go to-day, work in [my] vineyard.
“Munofungei nazvo? Paiva nomurume aiva navanakomana vaviri. Akaenda kuno wokutanga akati, ‘Mwanangu, enda nhasi unoshanda mumunda wemizambiringa.’
29 And he answering said, I will not; but afterwards repenting himself he went.
“Akapindura achiti, ‘Handidi,’ asi pashure akazvidemba uye akazoenda hake.
30 And coming to the second he said likewise; and he answering said, I [go], sir, and went not.
“Ipapo baba vaya vakaenda kuno mumwe mwanakomana vakasvikomuudza zvimwe chetezvo. Iye akapindura achiti, ‘Ndichaenda, baba’ asi haana kuenda.
31 Which of the two did the will of the father? They say [to him], The first. Jesus says to them, Verily I say unto you that the tax-gatherers and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
“Ndoupiko pavaviri ava akaita zvaidiwa nababa vake?” Vakapindura vachiti, “Wokutanga.” Jesu akati kwavari, “Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, vateresi nezvifeve vari kukutangirai kupinda muumambo hwaMwari.
32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not; but the tax-gatherers and the harlots believed him; but ye when ye saw [it] repented not yourselves afterwards to believe him.
Nokuti Johani akauya kwamuri kuti azokuratidzai nzira yokururama, mukasamutenda, asi vateresi nezvifeve vakatenda. Uye kunyange mushure mokunge maona izvi hamuna kutendeuka mukamutenda.
33 Hear another parable: There was a householder who planted a vineyard, and made a fence round it, and dug a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and left the country.
“Inzwai mumwe mufananidzo. Kwakanga kuno mumwe murume akanga arima munda wake wemizambiringa. Akaukomberedza noruzhowa, akacherera chisviniro chewaini uye akavaka shongwe. Ipapo akasiya munda womuzambiringa kuvarimi vaimupa mari ndokuenda parwendo rurefu.
34 But when the time of fruit drew near, he sent his bondmen to the husbandmen to receive his fruits.
Nguva yokukohwa yakati yasvika, akatuma varanda vake kuvarimi vaya kuti vandotora zvibereko zvake.
35 And the husbandmen took his bondmen, and beat one, killed another, and stoned another.
“Varimi vakabata varanda vaya, vakarova mumwe, vakauraya mumwe, uye vakataka wechitatu namabwe.
36 Again he sent other bondmen more than the first, and they did to them in like manner.
Ipapo akatumazve vamwe varanda kwavari, vakawanda kupfuura vokutanga, varimi vakavaitira zvimwe chetezvo.
37 And at last he sent to them his son, saying, They will have respect for my son.
Pakupedzisira akatuma mwanakomana wake kwavari. Akati, ‘Vacharemekedza mwanakomana wangu.’
38 But the husbandmen, seeing the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him and possess his inheritance.
“Asi varimi pavakaona mwanakomana vakataurirana vakati, ‘Uyu ndiye mudyi wenhaka. Uyai timuuraye, tigotora nhaka yake.’
39 And they took him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him.
Saka vakamutora vakamubudisa kunze kwemunda wemizambiringa vakamuuraya.
40 When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what shall he do to those husbandmen?
“Naizvozvo, panouya muridzi womunda womuzambiringa achaiteiko kuvarimi avo?”
41 They say to him, He will miserably destroy those evil [men], and let out the vineyard to other husbandmen, who shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
Vakapindura vakati, “Achaparadza varimi vakaipa ava, uye achapa munda womuzambiringa kuna vamwe varimi avo vachazomupa mugove wake wezvirimwa pakukohwa.”
42 Jesus says to them, Have ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which they that builded rejected, this has become the corner-stone: this is of [the] Lord, and it is wonderful in our eyes?
Jesu akati kwavari, “Hamuna kutomborava here muMagwaro panoti: “‘Ibwe rakarambwa navavaki ndiro rakazova musoro wekona. Ishe aita izvi, uye zvinoshamisa pamberi pedu’?
43 Therefore I say to you, that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you and shall be given to a nation producing the fruits of it.
“Naizvozvo ndinokuudzai kuti umambo hwaMwari huchatorwa kubva kwamuri huchipiwa kuvanhu vachabereka zvibereko zvahwo.
44 And he that falls on this stone shall be broken, but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder.
Uyo anowira pamusoro pebwe iri achavhunika kuita zvidimbu zvidimbu asi uyo warichawira achapwanyiwa.”
45 And the chief priests and the Pharisees, having heard his parables, knew that he spoke about them.
Vaprista vakuru navaFarisi pavakanzwa mifananidzo yaJesu, vakaziva kuti aitaura nezvavo.
46 And seeking to lay hold of him, they were afraid of the crowds, because they held him for a prophet.
Vakatsvaka nzira yokuti vamusunge nayo, asi vakatya vanhu vazhinji nokuti vakanga vachiti muprofita.
