Luke 19
1 AND Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
Zvino Jesu wakapinda, akagura muJeriko.
2 And, behold, there was a man named Zacchæus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
Zvino tarira, murume wainzi Zakewu nezita; iye wakange ari mutungamiriri wevateresi, uye iye waiva mufumi;
3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.
uye wakatsvaka kuona Jesu kuti ndiani; asi wakange asingagoni nekuda kwechaunga, nokuti wakange ane chimiro chifupi.
4 And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.
Zvino wakamhanyira mberi, akakwira mumuonde wemusikamori kuti amuone; nokuti wakange achizopfuura nenzira iyo.
5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchæus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.
Zvino Jesu wakati achisvika panzvimbo iyo, wakatarira kumusoro, akamuona, akati kwaari: Zakewu, kurumidza uburuke; nokuti nhasi ndinofanira kugara mumba mako.
6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
Zvino wakakurumidza kuburuka, akamugamuchira achifara.
7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
Zvino vakati vazviona vakan'un'una vese vachiti: Wapinda kunogara nemurume mutadzi.
8 And Zacchæus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.
Asi Zakewu wakamira, akati kuna Ishe: Tarirai, hafu yefuma yangu, Ishe, ndinopa kuvarombo, uye kana ndakatora chinhu kune umwe munhu nekunyengera, ndinodzosera runa.
9 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
Jesu akati kwaari: Nhasi ruponeso rwasvika mumba muno; nokuti iyewo mwanakomana waAbhurahama.
10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
Nokuti Mwanakomana wemunhu wakauya kuzotsvaka nekuponesa chakarasika.
11 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
Vakati vanzwa zvinhu izvi, wakawedzera akataura mufananidzo, nokuti wakange ava pedo neJerusarema, uye nekuti vaifunga kuti ushe hwaMwari hwobva hwodoonekereswa.
12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
Naizvozvo wakati: Umwe munhu ane mbiri wakaenda kunyika iri kure, kunozvigamuchirira ushe agodzoka.
13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
Zvino wakadana varanda vake gumi, ndokuvapa pondo gumi, ndokuti kwavari: Bhindaukai nayo kusvikira ndichiuya.
14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.
Asi vanhu venyika yake vakange vachimuvenga, vakatuma nhume shure kwake, vachiti: Hatidi uyu kuti atitonge.
15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
Zvino zvakaitika kuti adzoka agamuchira ushe, wakaraira kuti vaya varanda vaakange apa mari, vadanirwe kwaari, kuti anzwe kuti umwe neumwe wakawana zvakadini nekutengeserana.
16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
Wekutanga ndokusvika, achiti: Ishe, pondo yenyu yawana pondo gumi.
17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
Zvino akati kwaari: Zvakanaka, muranda wakanaka; nokuti wakange wakatendeka pachidiki-diki, uve nesimba pamusoro pemaguta gumi.
18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
Newechipiri wakasvika, achiti: Ishe, pondo yenyu yawana pondo shanu.
19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
Akati kwaariwo: Newe, uve pamusoro pemaguta mashanu.
20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
Zvino umwe wakasvika, achiti: Ishe, tarirai pondo yenyu, yandakange ndakachengeta mumucheka wekumeso;
21 For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.
nokuti ndakange ndichikutyai, nokuti muri munhu wakaoma; munotora zvamusina kuisa, muchikohwa izvo zvamusina kudzvara.
22 And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:
Zvino wakati kwaari: Ndichakutonga nezvinobuda mumuromo mako, muranda wakaipa; wakange uchiziva kuti ini ndiri munhu wakaoma, ndichitora zvandisakaisa, nekukohwa izvo zvandisina kudzvara;
23 Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?
naizvozvo sei usina kuisa mari yangu mubhanga, kuti kana ndouya ndigozoitora pamwe nezvibereko.
24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.
Ndokuti kune vakange vamirepo: Mutorerei pondo mupe kune ane pondo gumi.
25 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
Asi vakati kwaari: Ishe, ane pondo gumi.
26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.
Nokuti ndinoti kwamuri: Anazvo achapiwa; uye asina, kwaari kuchatorwa nezvaanazvo.
27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
Asi vavengi vangu avo, vakange vasingadi kuti nditonge pamusoro pavo, uisai pano, muvauraye pamberi pangu.
28 And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.
Zvino wakati areva zvinhu izvi, akapfuurira mberi, achikwira kuJerusarema.
29 And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
Zvino zvakaitika oswedera kuBhetifage neBhetaniya pagomo rinonzi reMiorivhi, wakatuma vaviri vevadzidzi vake,
30 Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither.
achiti: Fambai muende mumusha wakatarisana nemwi; kana muchipinda mauri, muchawana dhongwana rakasungirwa, risina munhu wakamborigara; murisunungure, mugoriuisa.
31 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.
Zvino kana chero munhu akakubvunzai achiti: Munorisunungurirei? Muchataura kwaari kudai: Ishe anorida.
32 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.
Avo vakatumwa vakaenda vakanowana sezvaakange ataura kwavari.
33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?
Zvino vakati vachisunungura dhongwana, varidzi varo vakati kwavari: Munosunungurirei dhongwana?
34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
Ivo ndokuti: Ishe anorida.
35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.
Zvino vakariuisa kuna Jesu; ndokukanda nguvo dzavo pamusoro pedhongwana, vakatasvisa Jesu pariri.
36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
Zvino achifamba, vakawarira nguvo dzavo munzira.
37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;
Zvino wakati oswedera ikozvino pamateru egomo reMiorivhi, chaunga chese chevadzidzi chikatanga kufara chichirumbidza Mwari nenzwi guru pamusoro pamabasa ese esimba avakange vaona,
38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
vachiti: Wakaropafadzwa mambo anouya muzita raIshe; rugare kudenga, nekubwinya kumusoro-soro.
39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
Uye vamwe veVaFarisi vari pakati pechaunga vakati kwaari: Mudzidzisi, tsiurai vadzidzi venyu.
40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
Zvino wakapindura akati kwavari: Ndinokuudzai kuti kana ava vakanyarara, mabwe achadanidzira.
41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
Zvino wakati aswedera, wakaona guta, akachema pamusoro paro,
42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.
achiti: Dai newe waiziva, kunyange pazuva rino rako zvinhu zverugare rwako; asi zvino zvakavanzirwa meso ako.
43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,
Nokuti mazuva achasvika pamusoro pako, apo vavengi vako vachakukandira muchinjiziri wakakupoteredza, vachakukomba, nekukudzvinyidzira pamativi ese,
44 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
uye vachakuputsira pasi iwe nevana vako mukati mako, havangasii mukati mako ibwe pamusoro pebwe; nokuti hauna kuziva nguva yekushanyirwa kwako.
45 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;
Zvino wakapinda mutembere, akatanga kudzingira panze vakange vachitengesamo nevaitenga,
46 Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.
achiti kwavari: Kwakanyorwa kuti: Imba yangu imba yemunyengetero; asi imwi maiita bako remakororo.
47 And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,
Zvino waidzidzisa zuva rimwe nerimwe mutembere; asi vapristi vakuru nevanyori nevakuru vevanhu vakatsvaka kumuparadza.
48 And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
Asi havana kuwana zvavangaita, nokuti vanhu vese vakamunamatira vachimunzwa.
