Matthew 21
1 And when they drew nigh to Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto mount Olivet, then Jesus sent two disciples,
Vakati vachiswedera kuJerusarema, vasvika kuBhetifage pagomo reMiorivhi, ipapo Jesu akatuma vadzidzi vaviri,
2 Saying to them: Go ye into the village that is over against you, and immediately you shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them and bring them to me.
achiti kwavari: Endai kumusha wakatarisana nemwi, pakarepo muchawana mbongoro yakasungirwa, nedhongwana rinayo; sunungurai, muuyise kwandiri.
3 And if any man shall say anything to you, say ye, that the Lord hath need of them: and forthwith he will let them go.
Kana ani nani achitaura chinhu kwamuri, muchati: Ishe anozvida; pakarepo achazvitumira.
4 Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying:
Izvozvi zvese zvakaitika, kuti zvizadziswe zvakataurwa nemuporofita, achiti:
5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion: Behold thy king cometh to thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of her that is used to the yoke.
Udzai mukunda weZiyoni: Tarira Mambo wako anouya kwauri, ari munyoro, akatasva mbongoro, nedhongwana, mwana wechipfuwo chemutoro.
6 And the disciples going, did as Jesus commanded them.
Vadzidzi vakaenda, vakaita Jesu sezvaakavaraira,
7 And they brought the ass and the colt, and laid their garments upon them, and made him sit thereon.
vakauisa mbongoro nedhongwana, vakaisa nguvo dzavo pamusoro pazvo; vakamugadza pamusoro pazvo.
8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way: and others cut boughs from the trees, and strewed them in the way:
Chaunga chikuru kwazvo chikawarira nguvo dzacho munzira; vamwe vakatema matavi pamiti vakawarira munzira.
9 And the multitudes that went before and that followed, cried, saying: Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
Zvaunga zvakange zvakamutungamirira nevakange vachitevera vakadanidzira, vachiti: Hosana kuMwanakomana waDavhidhi! Wakaropafadzwa iye anouya muzita raIshe! Hosana kumusoro-soro!
10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, the whole city was moved, saying: Who is this?
Wakati apinda muJerusarema, guta rese rikazungunuswa, richiti: Ndiani uyu?
11 And the people said: This is Jesus the prophet, from Nazareth of Galilee.
Zvaunga zvikati: Uyu ndiJesu muporofita weNazareta reGarirea.
12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the chairs of them that sold doves:
Zvino Jesu wakapinda mutembere yaMwari, akadzingira vese vaitengesa nevaitenga mutembere, akapidigura matafura evaitsinhanha mari, nezvigaro zvevaitengesa njiva.
13 And he saith to them: It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but you have made it a den of thieves.
Akati kwavari: Kwakanyorwa kuchinzi: Imba yangu ichanzi imba yemunyengetero; asi imwi munoiita bako remakororo.
14 And there came to him the blind and the lame in the temple; and he healed them.
Zvino kwakauya kwaari mapofu nevaikamhina mutembere; akavaporesa.
15 And the chief priests and scribes, seeing the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying: Hosanna to the son of David; were moved with indignation.
Asi vapristi vakuru nevanyori vakati vachiona zvinhu zvinoshamisa zvaakange achiita, nevana vachidanidzira mutembere vachiti: Hosana kuMwanakomana waDhavhidhi! vakatsamwa,
16 And said to him: Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus said to them: Yea, have you never read: Out of the mouth of infants and of sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
vakati kwaari: Unonzwa zvavanotaura ivava here? Jesu akati kwavari: Hongu, hamuna kutongoverenga here, kuti: Mumuromo mavacheche nevanoyamwa makapedzeredza rumbidzo?
17 And leaving them, he went out of the city into Bethania, and remained there.
Akavasiya, akabuda panze peguta, achienda Bhetaniya, ndokurarapo.
18 And in the morning, returning into the city, he was hungry.
Kuzoti mangwanani-ngwanani wakati achidzokera kuguta, akanzwa nzara.
19 And seeing a certain fig tree by the way side, he came to it, and found nothing on it but leaves only, and he saith to it: May no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And immediately the fig tree withered away. (aiōn g165)
Zvino wakati achiona umwe muonde panzira, akaenda kwauri, akasawana chinhu kwauri, asi mashizha chete; akati kwauri: Ngakurege kuva nezvibereko kwauri kusvikira narinhi. Pakarepo muonde ukasvava. (aiōn g165)
20 And the disciples seeing it wondered, saying: How is it presently withered away?
Vadzidzi vakati vachiona, vakashamisika, vachiti: Muonde wasvava pakarepo sei?
21 And Jesus answering, said to them: Amen, I say to you, if you shall have faith, and stagger not, not only this of the fig tree shall you do, but also if you shall say to this mountain, Take up and cast thyself into the sea, it shall be done.
Jesu akapindura akati kwavari: Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Dai maiva nerutendo, musiri vasina chokwadi, hamungaiti izvi kumuonde chete, asi kunyange kana mukati kugomo iri: Simudzwa ukandirwe mugungwa; zvichaitwa.
22 And in all things whatsoever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive.
Nezvese zvipi nezvipi zvamunokumbira mumunyengetero, kana muchitenda, muchazvigamuchira.
23 And when he was come into the temple, there came to him, as he was teaching, the chief priests and ancients of the people, saying: By what authority dost thou these things? and who hath given thee this authority?
Wakati apinda mutembere, vapristi vakuru nevakuru vevanhu vakauya kwaari achidzidzisa, vakati: Munoita zvinhu izvozvi nesimba ripi? Ndiani akakupai simba iri?
24 Jesus answering, said to them: I also will ask you one word, which if you shall tell me, I will also tell you by what authority I do these things.
Jesu akapindura akati kwavari: Neni ndichakubvunzai shoko rimwe; kana mukandiudza iro, neni ndichakuudzai kuti ndinoita izvi nesimba ripi.
25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven or from men? But they thought within themselves, saying:
Rubhabhatidzo rwaJohwani rwakabvepi? Kudenga here kana kuvanhu? Zvino vakataurirana pakati pavo vachiti: Kana tikati: Kudenga; uchati kwatiri: Saka sei musina kumutenda?
26 If we shall say, from heaven, he will say to us: Why then did you not believe him? But if we shall say, from men, we are afraid of the multitude: for all held John as a prophet.
Asi kana tikati: Kuvanhu; tinotya chaunga; nokuti vese vakatora Johwani semuporofita.
27 And answering Jesus, they said: We know not. He also said to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
Vakapindura Jesu vakati: Hatizivi. Iye ndokuti kwavari: Neni handingakuudziyi simba randinoita naro izvi.
28 But what think you? A certain man had two sons; and coming to the first, he said: Son, go work today in my vineyard.
Zvino munofungei? Munhu waiva nevanakomana vaviri; akauya kune wekutanga, akati: Mwana, enda nhasi unobata mumunda wangu wemizambiringa.
29 And he answering, said: I will not. But afterwards, being moved with repentance, he went.
Iye akapindura akati: Handidi; asi pashure akatendeuka akaenda.
30 And coming to the other, he said in like manner. And he answering, said: I go, Sir; and he went not.
Akaenda kune wechipiri akataura saizvozvo. Iye akapindura akati: Ndinoenda, ishe; akasaenda.
31 Which of the two did the father’s will? They say to him: The first. Jesus saith to them: Amen I say to you, that the publicans and the harlots shall go into the kingdom of God before you.
Ndeupi pavaviri akaita kuda kwababa? Vakati kwaari: Wekutanga. Jesu akati kwavari: Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Vateresi nezvifeve vanokutangirai kupinda muushe hwaMwari.
32 For John came to you in the way of justice, and you did not believe him. But the publicans and the harlots believed him: but you, seeing it, did not even afterwards repent, that you might believe him.
Nokuti Johwani akauya kwamuri nenzira yekururama, mukasamutenda; asi vateresi nezvifeve vakamutenda, asi imwi makati muchiona, hamuna kutendeuka shure kwaizvozvi kuti mumutende.
33 Hear ye another parable. There was a man an householder, who planted a vineyard, and made a hedge round about it, and dug in it a press, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen; and went into a strange country.
Inzwai umwe mufananidzo. Kwaiva neumwe munhu, mwene weimba, wakasima munda wemizambiringa, akaisa ruzhowa rwakaukomberedza, akachera pekusvinira waini mauri, akavaka shongwe, akauhaisa kuvarimi, akaenda kunze kwenyika.
34 And when the time of the fruits drew nigh, he sent his servants to the husbandmen that they might receive the fruits thereof.
Kuzoti nguva yezvibereko yaswedera, akatuma varanda vake kuvarimi kuti vagamuchire zvibereko zvake.
35 And the husbandmen laying hands on his servants, beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
Asi varimi vakabata varanda vake, umwe vakarova, umwe vakauraya, umwe vakataka nemabwe.
36 Again he sent other servants more than the former; and they did to them in like manner.
Akatumazve vamwe varanda vazhinji kune vekutanga; vakavaitira saizvozvo.
37 And last of all he sent to them his son, saying: They will reverence my son.
Asi pakupedzisira akatuma mwanakomana wake kwavari, achiti: Vacharemekedza mwanakomana wangu.
38 But the husbandmen seeing the son, said among themselves: This is the heir: come, let us kill him, and we shall have his inheritance.
Asi varimi vakati vachiona mwanakomana, vakataurirana, vachiti: Uyu ndiye mugari wenhaka; uyai, ngatimuurayeyi tibate nhaka yake.
39 And taking him, they cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him.
Zvino vakamubata vakaposhera panze kunze kwemunda wemizambiringa vakamuuraya.
40 When therefore the lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do to those husbandmen?
Naizvozvo kana mwene wemunda wemizambiringa achisvika, uchaitei kuvarimi avo?
41 They say to him: He will bring those evil men to an evil end; and will let out his vineyard to other husbandmen, that shall render him the fruit in due season.
Vakati kwaari: Achaparadza zvakaipa ava vakaipa, akahaisa vamwe varimi munda wemizambiringa, vachamupa zvibereko nenguva dzazvo.
42 Jesus saith to them: Have you never read in the Scriptures: The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? By the Lord this has been done; and it is wonderful in our eyes.
Jesu akati kwavari: Hamuna kutongoverenga here pamagwaro panoti: Ibwe vavaki ravakaramba, ndiro rakava musoro wekona; kubva kuna Ishe izvi zvaitika zvinoshamisa pameso edu?
43 Therefore I say to you, that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and shall be given to a nation yielding the fruits thereof.
Naizvozvo ndinoti kwamuri: Ushe hwaMwari huchatorwa kubva kwamuri, hukapiwa kurudzi rwunobereka zvibereko zvahwo.
44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone, shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder.
Uye anowira pamusoro pebwe iri, achavhunikanya; asi pane upi neupi warinowira richamukuya.
45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they knew that he spoke of them.
Vapristi vakuru neVaFarisi vakati vachinzwa mifananidzo yake, vakaziva kuti anotaura nezvavo.
46 And seeking to lay hands on him, they feared the multitudes: because they held him as a prophet.
Zvino vakati vachitsvaka kumubata vakatya zvaunga nokuti vaimutora semuporofita.
