Luke 18
1 And he spake also a parable vnto them, to this ende, that they ought alwayes to pray, and not to waxe faint,
Ipapo Jesu akaudza vadzidzi vake mufananidzo wokuvaratidza kuti vaifanira kunyengetera nguva dzose vasingaori mwoyo.
2 Saying, There was a iudge in a certaine citie, which feared not God, neither reuereced man.
Akati, “Mune rimwe guta maiva nomutongi akanga asingatyi Mwari uye asina hanya navanhu.
3 And there was a widowe in that citie, which came vnto him, saying, Doe mee iustice against mine aduersarie.
Uye muguta imomo maiva nechirikadzi yakaramba ichiuya kwaari nechikumbiro ichiti, ‘Ndiruramisireiwo kumuvengi wangu.’
4 And hee would not of a long time: but afterward he said with himselfe, Though I feare not God, nor reuerence man,
“Kwechinguva akamboramba. Asi pakupedzisira akati mumwoyo make, ‘Kunyange dai ndisingatyi Mwari uye ndisina hanya navanhu,
5 Yet because this widowe troubleth mee, I will doe her right, lest at the last shee come and make me wearie.
asi nokuda kwokuti chirikadzi iyi inoramba ichindinetsa, ndinofanira kuiruramisira, kuitira kuti arege kuzoramba achindinetsa nokuuya kwake!’”
6 And the Lord said, Heare what the vnrighteous iudge saith.
Zvino Ishe akati, “Inzwai zvinotaurwa nomutongi asakarurama.
7 Now shall not God auenge his elect, which cry day and night vnto him, yea, though he suffer long for them?
Ko, zvino Mwari haangaruramisiri vasanangurwa vake, vanodanidzira kwaari masikati nousiku here? Acharamba achivadzosa here?
8 I tell you he will auenge them quickly: but when the Sonne of man commeth, shall he finde faith on the earth?
Ndinoti kwamuri, achaona kuti varuramisirwa, uye nokukurumidza. Kunyange zvakadaro hazvo, kana Mwanakomana woMunhu achisvika, achawana kutenda panyika here?”
9 He spake also this parable vnto certaine which trusted in themselues that they were iust, and despised other.
Jesu akataura mufananidzo uyu, kuna vamwe vakanga vachivimba nokururama kwavo uye vaizvidza vamwe akati,
10 Two men went vp into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharise, and the other a Publican.
“Varume vaviri vakakwira kutemberi kundonyengetera, mumwe akanga ari muFarisi uye mumwe ari muteresi.
11 The Pharise stoode and prayed thus with himselfe, O God, I thanke thee that I am not as other men, extortioners, vniust, adulterers, or euen as this Publican.
MuFarisi akasimuka akazvinyengeterera achiti, ‘Mwari, ndinokuvongai nokuti handina kufanana navamwe vanhu, makororo, vaiti vezvakaipa, mhombwe, kana kunyange muteresi uyu.
12 I fast twise in the weeke: I giue tithe of all that euer I possesse.
Ndinozvinyima zvokudya kaviri pavhiki uye ndinopa chegumi chezvose zvandinowana.’
13 But the Publican standing a farre off, woulde not lift vp so much as his eyes to heauen, but smote his brest, saying, O God, be mercifull to me a sinner.
“Asi muteresi akamira ari nechokure, asingadi kunyange kutarira kudenga, asi akazvirova chipfuva akati, ‘Mwari, ndinzwirei tsitsi, ini mutadzi.’
14 I tell you, this man departed to his house iustified, rather then the other: for euery man that exalteth himselfe, shall be brought lowe, and he that humbleth himselfe, shalbe exalted.
“Ndinokuudzai kuti munhu uyu, akadzokera kumba kwake aruramiswa pamberi paMwari kupinda muFarisi. Nokuti mumwe nomumwe anozvikudza achaninipiswa, uye uyo anozvininipisa achakudzwa.”
15 They brought vnto him also babes that he should touche them. And when his disciples sawe it, they rebuked them.
Vanhu vakauyawo navacheche kuna Jesu kuti avanyengeterere. Vadzidzi vakati vachiona izvozvo, vakavatsiura.
16 But Iesus called them vnto him, and said, Suffer the babes to come vnto mee, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdome of God.
Asi Jesu akadana vana kwaari achiti, “Regai vana vaduku vauye kwandiri, uye musavadzivisa, nokuti umambo hwaMwari ndohwavakadai.
17 Verely I say vnto you, whosoeuer receiueth not the kingdome of God as a babe, he shall not enter therein.
Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri, ani naani asingagamuchiri umambo hwaMwari somwana muduku haangatongopindi mahuri.”
18 Then a certaine ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what ought I to doe, to inherite eternall life? (aiōnios g166)
Mumwe mutongi akamubvunza achiti, “Mudzidzisi akanaka, ndinofanira kuitei kuti ndigogara nhaka youpenyu husingaperi?” (aiōnios g166)
19 And Iesus said vnto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, saue one, euen God.
Jesu akapindura achiti, “Seiko uchinditi ndakanaka? Hakuna akanaka kunze kwaMwari oga.
20 Thou knowest the comandements, Thou shalt not commit adulterie: Thou shalt not kill: Thou shalt not steale: Thou shalt not beare false witnes: Honour thy father and thy mother.
Iwe unoziva mirayiro inoti: ‘Usaita upombwe, usauraya, usapupura nhema, kudza baba vako namai vako.’”
21 And hee saide, All these haue I kept from my youth.
Iye akati, “Izvi zvose ndakazvichengeta kubva paudiki hwangu.”
22 Nowe when Iesus heard that, he saide vnto him, Yet lackest thou one thing. Sell all that euer thou hast, and distribute vnto the poore, and thou shalt haue treasure in heauen, and come follow mee.
Jesu akati achinzwa izvi, akati kwaari, “Uchiri kushayiwa chinhu chimwe chete. Tengesa zvose zvaunazvo ugopa varombo, ugozova nepfuma kudenga. Ipapo, ugouya unditevere.”
23 But when he heard those things, he was very heauie: for he was marueilous riche.
Akati anzwa izvozvo, akasuwa zvikuru, nokuti akanga ari murume akapfuma zvikuru.
24 And when Iesus sawe him very sorowfull, he said, With what difficultie shall they that haue riches, enter into the kingdome of God!
Jesu akatarisa kwaari akati, “Zvikukutu sei kuti mupfumi apinde muumambo hwaMwari!
25 Surely it is easier for a camel to go through a needles eye, then for a riche man to enter into the kingdome of God.
Zvirokwazvo, zviri nyore kwazvo kuti ngamera ipinde napaburi retsono pano kuti mupfumi apinde muumambo hwaMwari.”
26 Then said they that heard it, And who then can be saued?
Vaya vakazvinzwa izvozvo vakabvunza vachiti, “Ndianiko zvino angaponeswa?”
27 And he said, The things which are vnpossible with men, are possible with God.
Jesu akapindura achiti, “Zvisingagoneki kuvanhu zvinogoneka kuna Mwari.”
28 Then Peter said, Loe, we haue left all, and haue followed thee.
Petro akati kwaari, “Takasiya zvose zvataiva nazvo kuti tikuteverei!”
29 And he said vnto them, Verely I say vnto you, there is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children for the kingdome of Gods sake,
Jesu akati kwavari, “Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri, hakuna munhu akasiya musha, kana mukadzi, kana mununʼuna, kana vabereki, kana vana nokuda kwoumambo hwaMwari,
31 Then Iesus tooke vnto him ye twelue, and said vnto them, Beholde, we goe vp to Hierusalem, and all things shalbe fulfilled to the Sonne of man, that are writttn by the Prophets.
Jesu akatsaura parutivi vane gumi navaviri akavaudza kuti, “Tiri kuenda kuJerusarema, uye zvose zvakanyorwa navaprofita pamusoro poMwanakomana woMunhu zvichazadziswa.
32 For he shall be deliuered vnto the Gentiles, and shalbe mocked, and shalbe spitefully entreated, and shalbe spitted on.
Achaiswa mumaoko evedzimwe ndudzi. Vachamuseka, vachamutuka, nokumupfira mate, vachamurova uye vachamuuraya.
33 And when they haue scourged him, they will put him to death: but the thirde day hee shall rise againe.
Pazuva rechitatu achamukazve.”
34 But they vnderstood none of these things, and this saying was hidde from them, neither perceiued they the things, which were spoken.
Vadzidzi hapana chavakanzwisisa pachinhu ichi. Zvairehwa zvacho zvakanga zvakavanzika kwavari, uye havana kuziva zvaakanga achitaura pamusoro pazvo.
35 And it came to passe, that as he was come neere vnto Iericho, a certaine blinde man sate by the way side, begging.
Jesu akati aswedera pedyo neJeriko, mumwe murume akanga ari bofu akanga agere parutivi pomugwagwa achipemha.
36 And when he heard the people passe by, he asked what it meant.
Akati achinzwa vanhu vazhinji vakanga vachipfuura, akabvunza kuti chii chakanga chichiitika.
37 And they saide vnto him, that Iesus of Nazareth passed by.
Vakamuudza kuti, “Jesu weNazareta ari kupfuura napano.”
38 Then hee cried, saying, Iesus the Sonne of Dauid, haue mercie on me.
Iye akadanidzira achiti, “Jesu, Mwanakomana waDhavhidhi, ndinzwireiwo ngoni!”
39 And they which went before, rebuked him that he shoulde holde his peace, but he cried much more, O Sone of Dauid, haue mercie on me.
Vaya vakanga vachitungamira vakamutsiura vakamuudza kuti anyarare, asi iye akanyanyisa kudanidzira achiti, “Mwanakomana waDhavhidhi, ndinzwireiwo ngoni!”
40 And Iesus stoode stil, and commanded him to be brought vnto him. And when he was come neere, he asked him,
Jesu akamira ndokurayira kuti murume uyu auyiswe kwaari. Akati aswedera pedyo, Jesu akamubvunza akati,
41 Saying, What wilt thou that I doe vnto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receiue my sight.
“Unoda kuti ndikuitireiko?” Iye akapindura akati, “Ishe, ndinoda kuti ndione.”
42 And Iesus said vnto him, Receiue thy sight: thy faith hath saued thee.
Jesu akati kwaari, “Chiona; kutenda kwako kwakuporesa.”
43 Then immediatly he receiued his sight, and followed him, praysing God: and all the people, when they sawe this, gaue praise to God.
Pakarepo akaona akatevera Jesu, achirumbidza Mwari. Vanhu vose vakati vachizviona, naivowo vakarumbidza Mwari.
