Luke 19
1 Jesus entered Jericho and walked through the town.
Jesu akapinda muJeriko uye akanga achipfuura nomo.
2 A man was there named Zacchaeus, a chief tax collector. He was very rich.
Maiva nomurume ainzi Zakeo; akanga ari mukuru wavateresi uye akanga akapfuma kwazvo.
3 He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he couldn't see over the crowd.
Akauya achida kuona Jesu kuti ndiani, asi nokuda kwokuti akanga ari munhu mupfupi, akatadza kuona nokuda kwavanhu vazhinji.
4 So he ran ahead, and climbed up a sycamore tree to see Jesus as he passed by.
Nokudaro akamhanyira mberi akandokwira mumuti womuonde kuti amuone, sezvo Jesu akanga achienda naipapo.
5 When Jesus got there, he looked up and said, “Zacchaeus, come down quickly! I need to stay at your house today.”
Jesu akati asvika panzvimbo iyoyo, akatarisa kumusoro ndokuti kwaari, “Zakeo, buruka nokukurumidza. Ndinofanira kunogara mumba mako nhasi.”
6 Zacchaeus climbed down quickly and was so happy to welcome Jesus to his home.
Saka akakurumidza kuburuka akamugamuchira nomufaro.
7 When the people saw this they all complained, “He's gone to stay with such a sinner!”
Vanhu vose vakaona izvi vakatanga kugununʼuna vachiti, “Aenda kunova mueni wo‘mutadzi.’”
8 But Zacchaeus stood up and said before the Lord, “Look, I'm giving half of everything I own to the poor, and if I've cheated anybody, I'll pay them back four times as much!”
Asi Zakeo akasimuka akamira pamberi paShe akati, “Tarirai, Ishe! Pano, uye iye zvino, ndinopa hafu yepfuma yangu kuvarombo, uye kana ndakanyengera ani zvake pachinhu chipi zvacho, ndichadzosera zvava zvina.”
9 In response Jesus said, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man has shown he is a son of Abraham too.
Jesu akati kwaari, “Nhasi ruponeso rwasvika mumba muno, nokuti murume uyu mwanakomanawo waAbhurahama.
10 For the Son of man came to search for and save those who are lost.”
Nokuti Mwanakomana woMunhu akauya kuzotsvaka nokuponesa chakarasika.”
11 While they were still paying attention, Jesus told them a story for they were close to Jerusalem and the people thought that God's kingdom was going to become a reality right away.
Pavakanga vachiri kuteerera izvozvo, akaenderera mberi achivaudza mufananidzo, nokuti akanga ava pedyo neJerusarema uye vanhu vakafunga kuti umambo hwaMwari hwaizokurumidza kuonekwa pakarepo.
12 “Once there was a nobleman who left home to go to a distant country to be crowned king there, and then to return.
Akati, “Mumwe murume weimba huru, akaenda kunyika iri kure kuti andogadzwa kuti ave mambo uye agodzoka.
13 He called ten of his servants, divided money equally among them, and told them, ‘Invest this money until I return.’
Saka akadana varanda vake gumi akavapa zviuru gumi zvamadhora. Akati, ‘Shandisai mari iyi kusvikira ndadzoka.’
14 But his people hated him, and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We won't have this man as king over us.’
“Asi varanda vake vaimuvenga vakatuma nhume dzikamutevera kuti dzinoti, ‘Munhu uyu hatidi kuti ave mambo wedu.’
15 After he had been crowned king he returned. He ordered his servants brought to him. He wanted to know what profit they had made by investing the money he had given them.
“Akandogadzwa kuti ave mambo, kunyange zvakadaro, akadzoka kumusha. Ipapo akatuma shoko kuvaranda vaakanga apa mari, achida kuziva zvavakanga vawana nayo.
16 The first servant came in and said, ‘Lord, your money has earned ten times as much.’
“Wokutanga akasvika akati, ‘Ishe chiuru chenyu chamadhora chakabereka zvimwe zviuru gumi.’
17 ‘Well done! You're a good servant,’ said the king. ‘Since you proved yourself trustworthy in a very small matter, I'm placing you in charge of ten cities.’
“Tenzi wake akati, ‘Zvakanaka, muranda wangu akanaka! Nokuti wanga wakatendeka pazvinhu zviduku duku, uchatonga pamusoro pamaguta gumi.’
18 The second servant came in and said, ‘Lord, your money has earned five times as much.’
“Wechipiri akasvika akati, ‘Ishe, chiuru chenyu chamadhora chakabereka zvimwe zviuru zvishanu.’
19 ‘I'm placing you in charge of five cities,’ said the king.
“Tenzi wake akapindura akati, ‘Iwe uchatonga pamusoro pamaguta mashanu.’
20 Another servant came in and said, ‘Lord, look, here's your money back. I kept it safe, wrapped up in a cloth.
“Ipapo mumwe muranda akasvika akati, ‘Ishe, hechino chiuru chenyu chamadhora; ndakachichengeta ndakachisungirira mumucheka.
21 I was afraid of you because you're a hard man. You take what doesn't belong to you, and you harvest what you didn't plant.’
Ndakanga ndichikutyai, nokuti muri munhu ane mwoyo wakaoma. Munotora zvamusina kuisapo nokukohwa zvamusina kudyara.’
22 ‘I'll judge you by your own words,’ the king replied. ‘You know I'm a hard man, who as you say, takes what doesn't belong to me, and I harvest what I didn't plant.
“Tenzi wake akapindura akati, ‘Ndichakutonga namashoko ako pachako, iwe muranda akaipa! Waiziva kuti ndiri munhu ane mwoyo wakaoma, ndinotora zvandisina kuisapo, nokukohwa zvandisina kudyara?
23 Why then didn't you deposit my money in the bank, so that when I returned I could have had my money with interest?’
Seiko zvino usina kuisa mari yangu mubhangi, kuitira kuti pakudzoka kwangu ndizoitora yawanda?’
24 The king told those who were standing beside him, ‘Take the money away from him, and give it to the one who made ten times as much.’
“Ipapo akati kuna avo vakanga vamire pedyo, ‘Mutorerei chiuru chake chamadhora muchipe kuno uyo ane zviuru gumi.’
25 ‘But master, he already has ten times as much,’ they replied.
“Vakati, ‘Ishe anotova nezviuru gumi zvamadhora nechakare!’
26 The king said, ‘I tell you, to those who have, more will be given; but those who do not have, even what they have will be taken away from them.
“Iye akapindura akati, ‘Ndinoti kwamuri, mumwe nomumwe anazvo, achapiwa zvimwe, asi uyo asina, achatorerwa kunyange nechaanacho.
27 And as for my enemies who didn't want me to be king over them, bring them here and kill them in front of me.’”
Asi vaya vavengi vangu vakanga vasingadi kuti ndive mambo wavo, uyai navo pano muvauraye pamberi pangu.’”
28 After he'd finished telling them this story, Jesus left for Jerusalem, walking on ahead.
Shure kwokunge Jesu ataura izvi, akapfuurira mberi, akakwidza kuJerusarema.
29 As he approached Bethphage and Bethany on the Mount of Olives, he sent two disciples, telling them:
Akati asvika kuBhetifage neBhetania paGomo reMiorivhi, akatuma vadzidzi vake vaviri achiti,
30 “Go to the village farther on. As you enter it you'll find a colt tied up that no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here.
“Endai kumusha wakatarisana nemi, uye pamunongopindamo, muchawana mwana wembongoro asina kumbotasvwa nomunhu akasungirirwamo. Muisunungure mugouya nayo pano.
31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ just say, ‘The Lord needs it.’”
Kana pane munhu anokubvunzai achiti, ‘Seiko muchiisunungura?’ muvaudze kuti, ‘Ishe anoida.’”
32 So the two disciples went and found that everything was just as Jesus had said.
Vaya vakanga vatumwa mberi vakaenda vakandowana zvakaita sezvaakanga avaudza chaizvo.
33 As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
Pavakanga vachisunungura mwana wembongoro uyu, muridzi wacho akavabvunza akati, “Seiko muchisunungura mwana wembongoro uyu?”
34 The disciples replied, “The Lord needs it.”
Ivo vakamupindura vakati, “Ishe anoida.”
35 They brought the colt to Jesus. Then they threw their cloaks over it, and sat Jesus on its back.
Vakauya nayo kuna Jesu, vakaisa nguo dzavo pamusoro pomwana wembongoro ndokubva vakwidza Jesu pairi.
36 As he rode along, people spread their cloaks on the road.
Paakanga achifamba, vanhu vakawaridzira nguo dzavo mumigwagwa.
37 As he approached Jerusalem, right where the road goes down from the Mount of Olives, the crowd of disciples all began shouting joyful praises to God at the top of their voices for all the miracles they had seen.
Akati asvika pedyo nenzvimbo ine nzira yaitenukira paGomo reMiorivhi, vazhinji vose vavadzidzi vakatanga kupembera vachirumbidza Mwari namanzwi makuru nokuda kwezviratidzo zvose zvavakanga vaona, vachiti:
38 “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord,” they shouted. “Peace in heaven and glory in highest heaven.”
“Akaropafadzwa mambo anouya muzita raShe!” “Rugare ngaruve kudenga, nokubwinya kumusoro-soro!”
39 Some of the Pharisees who were in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, stop your disciples from saying that.”
Vamwe vaFarisi vakanga vari pakati pavanhu vazhinji vakati kuna Jesu, “Mudzidzisi, tsiurai vadzidzi venyu!”
40 But Jesus replied, “I tell you that if they kept quiet then the stones will shout!”
Akapindura akati, “Ndinokuudzai kuti, kana vakanyarara, matombo achadanidzira.”
41 But as he got closer, he saw the city and wept over it.
Akati aswedera kuJerusarema uye achiona guta, akachema pamusoro paro
42 “I really wish today that you, even you, had known the path that leads to peace!” he said. “But now it's hidden from your eyes.
akati, “Dai iwe, kunyange iyewe, waiziva chete pazuva rino zvinhu zvaizokupa rugare, asi zvino zvakavanzwa pameso ako.
43 The time is coming upon you when your enemies will besiege you, building ramps to attack you, encircling you and closing you in from every side.
Mazuva achasvika pamusoro pako ayo vavengi vako vachakuvakira muchinjiziri vagokukomberedza uye vagokumanikidza kumativi ose.
44 They will smash you to the ground, you and your children within you. They won't leave one stone on another within you, for you refused to accept salvation when it came to you.”
Vachakupwanyira pasi, iwe navana vari mukati mamasvingo ako. Havazongosiyi ibwe pamusoro perimwe nokuti hauna kuziva nguva yokushanyirwa kwako naMwari.”
45 Jesus entered the Temple and began driving out all the people trading there.
Ipapo akapinda mutemberi akatanga kudzinga vaya vakanga vachitengesa.
46 He told them, “Scriptures state that ‘my house will be a house of prayer,’ but you've turned it into a den of thieves.”
Akati kwavari, “Kwakanyorwa kuchinzi, ‘Imba yangu ichava yokunyengeterera’, asi mava kuiita ‘bako ramakororo.’”
47 He was teaching in the Temple every day. The chief priests, the religious teachers, and the leaders of the people were trying to kill him.
Aidzidzisa zuva rimwe nerimwe mutemberi. Asi vaprista vakuru navadzidzisi vomurayiro uye navatungamiri pakati pavanhu vakanga vachiedza kumuuraya.
48 But they couldn't find a way to do it because everyone appreciated him, hanging on his every word.
Asi vakanga vasingawani nzira yokuita izvozvo, nokuti vanhu vose vakanga vakanamatira pamashoko ake.
