Luke 16
1 And He also said to His disciples, “A certain man was rich, who had a steward, and he was accused to him as scattering his goods;
Zvino wakataurawo kuvadzidzi vake achiti: Kwakange kune umwe munhu mufumi, waiva nemutariri; iye wakapomerwa kwaari seanoparadza nhumbi dzake.
2 and having called him, he said to him, What [is] this I hear about you? Render the account of your stewardship, for you may not be steward any longer.
Zvino wakamudana akati kwaari: Chii ichi chandinonzwa nezvako? Rondedzera nezveutariri hwako; nokuti hauchazogoni kuva mutariri.
3 And the steward said in himself, What will I do, because my lord takes away the stewardship from me? I am not able to dig, I am ashamed to beg—
Zvino mutariri wakati mukati make: Ndichaitei, sezvo ishe wangu wonditorera utariri? Handigoni kuchera, kupemha ndinonyara.
4 I have known what I will do, that, when I may be removed from the stewardship, they may receive me to their houses.
Ndaziva zvandichaita, kuti kana ndabudiswa pautariri, vandigamuchire mudzimba dzavo.
5 And having called near each one of his lord’s debtors, he said to the first, How much do you owe to my lord?
Zvino wakadanira kwaari umwe neumwe wavakange vane chikwereti kuna ishe wake, akati kune wekutanga: Une chikwereti chakadini kuna ishe wangu?
6 And he said, One hundred baths of oil; and he said to him, Take your bill, and having sat down write fifty.
Iye ndokuti: Zviyero zana zvemafuta. Ndokuti kwaari: Tora rugwaro rwako, ugare pasi nekukurumidza unyore makumi mashanu.
7 Afterward to another he said, And you, how much do you owe? And he said, One hundred cors of wheat; and he says to him, Take your bill, and write eighty.
Ndokuti kune umwe: Newe, une chikwereti chakadini? Iye ndokuti: Zviyero zana zvezviyo. Akati kwaari: Tora rugwaro rwako, unyore makumi masere.
8 And the lord commended the unrighteous steward that he did prudently, because the sons of this age are more prudent than the sons of the light in respect to their generation. (aiōn g165)
Zvino ishe wakarumbidza mutariri asakarurama, nokuti wakange aita nekuchenjera; nokuti vana venyika ino vakachenjera pazera ravo kukunda vana vechiedza. (aiōn g165)
9 And I say to you, make to yourselves friends out of the wealth of unrighteousness, that when you may fail, they may receive you into the continuous dwelling places. (aiōnios g166)
Neni ndinoti kwamuri: Muzviitire shamwari nafuma wekusakarurama, kuti kana musingachagoni, vakugamuchirei mudzimba dzekusingaperi. (aiōnios g166)
10 He who is faithful in the least, [is] also faithful in much; and he who in the least [is] unrighteous, is also unrighteous in much;
Wakatendeka pachidikisa wakatendekawo pachikuru, neusakarurama pachidikisa haana kururamawo pachikuru.
11 if, then, in the unrighteous wealth you did not become faithful—who will entrust to you the true?
Naizvozvo kana musina kutendeka pana fuma usakarurama, ndiani achakubatisai chinhu chechokwadi?
12 And if in the other’s you did not become faithful—who will give to you your own?
Uye kana musina kutendeka pane cheumwe, ndiani achakupai chenyu?
13 No servant is able to serve two lords, for either he will hate the one, and he will love the other; or one he will hold to, and of the other he will be heedless; you are not able to serve God and wealth.”
Hakuna muranda anogona kubatira madzitenzi maviri; nokuti zvimwe achavenga umwe, ndokuda umwe; kana kuti achanamatira kune umwe, agozvidza umwe. Hamugoni kubatira Mwari nafuma.
14 And also the Pharisees, being lovers of money, were hearing all these things, and were deriding Him,
Zvino neVaFarisi vakange vari vadi vemari, vakanzwa zvinhu izvi zvese, vakamuseka.
15 and He said to them, “You are those declaring yourselves righteous before men, but God knows your hearts; because that which is high among men [is] abomination before God;
Zvino wakati kwavari: Imwi ndimwi vanozviruramisa pamberi pevanhu, asi Mwari anoziva moyo yenyu; nokuti icho chinokwiridzirwa pakati pevanhu, chinyangadzo pamberi paMwari.
16 the Law and the Prophets [are] until John; since then the good news of the Kingdom of God is proclaimed, and everyone presses into it;
Murairo nevaporofita zvaivapo kusvikira kuna Johwani; kubva ipapo ushe hwaMwari hunoparidzwa, uye umwe neumwe anosenerera mahuri.
17 and it is easier for the heaven and the earth to pass away, than one tittle to fall of the Law.
Asi zvakareruka kuti denga nenyika zvipfuure, pakuti chidodzi chimwe chemurairo chiwe.
18 Everyone who is sending his wife away, and marrying another, commits adultery; and everyone who is marrying her sent away from a husband commits adultery.
Ani nani anoramba mukadzi wake akawana umwe anoita upombwe; uye ani nani anowana wakarambwa kumurume anoita upombwe.
19 And—a certain man was rich, and was clothed in purple and fine linen, making merry sumptuously every day,
Kwakange kune umwe munhu mufumi, waipfeka zvine ruvara rwehute nemicheka yakaisvonaka, nekufara paumbozha mazuva ese.
20 and there was a certain poor man, by name Lazarus, who was laid at his porch, full of sores,
Zvino kwakange kune umwe mupemhi wainzi Razaro, wakange akaiswa pasuwo rake azere maronda,
21 and desiring to be filled from the crumbs that are falling from the table of the rich man; indeed, also the dogs, coming, were licking his sores.
uye waishuva kugutswa nezvimedu zvaiwa patafura yemufumi; asi kunyange imbwa dzaiuya dzichinanzva maronda ake.
22 And it came to pass, that the poor man died, and that he was carried away by the messengers into the bosom of Abraham—and the rich man also died, and was buried;
Zvino zvakaitika kuti mupemhi wakafa, akatakurirwa nevatumwa kuchifuva chaAbhurahama; mufumi akafawo, akavigwa.
23 and having lifted up his eyes in Hades, being in torments, he sees Abraham far off, and Lazarus in his bosom, (Hadēs g86)
Zvino ari muhadhesi wakasimudza meso ake, ari pamarwadzo, akaona Abhurahama ari kure, naRazaro ari pachifuva chake. (Hadēs g86)
24 and having cried, he said, Father Abraham, deal kindly with me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and may cool my tongue, because I am distressed in this flame.
Iye ndokudanidzira akati: Baba Abhurahama, ndinzwirei tsitsi, mutume Razaro, kuti anyike muromo wemunwe wake mumvura, atonhodze rurimi rwangu; nokuti ndinorwadziswa mumurazvo uyu.
25 And Abraham said, Child, remember that you received your good things in your life, and Lazarus in like manner the evil things, and now he is comforted, and you are distressed;
Asi Abhurahama wakati: Mwana, rangarira kuti iwe muupenyu hwako wakagamuchira zvakanaka zvako, saizvozvo naRazaro zvakaipa; asi zvino iye anonyaradzwa, uye iwe unorwadziwa.
26 and besides all these things, between us and you a great chasm is fixed, so that they who are willing to go over from here to you are not able, nor do they pass through from there to us.
Uye pamusoro peizvi zvese, pakati pedu nemwi pane mukaha mukuru wakaiswa, kuti vanoda kuyambuka kubva kuno vachiuya kwamuri vakonewe, neveko varege kuyambukira kwatiri.
27 And he said, I ask, then, father, that you may send him to the house of my father,
Iye ndokuti: Naizvozvo ndinokukumbirisai, baba, kuti mumutumire kuimba yababa vangu,
28 for I have five brothers, so that he may thoroughly testify to them, that they also may not come to this place of torment.
nokuti ndine vanakomana vamai vangu vashanu, kuti anyatsovapupurira, zvimwe ivowo vangauya panzvimbo ino yemarwadzo.
29 Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them;
Abhurahama akati kwaari: Mozisi nevaporofita vanavo; ngavanzwe ivo.
30 and he said, No, father Abraham, but if anyone from the dead may go to them, they will convert.
Iye ndokuti: Kwete, baba Abhurahama; asi kana umwe akaenda kwavari kubva kuvakafa, vachatendeuka.
31 And he said to him, If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one may rise out of the dead.”
Asi wakati kwaari: Kana vasingateereri Mozisi nevaporofita, havangatendiswi kunyange kana umwe akamuka kubva kuvakafa.
