Luke 18
1 And He also spoke an allegory to them, that it is always necessary to pray and not to faint,
Ipapo Jesu akaudza vadzidzi vake mufananidzo wokuvaratidza kuti vaifanira kunyengetera nguva dzose vasingaori mwoyo.
2 saying, “A certain judge was in a certain city—he is not fearing God, and he is not regarding man—
Akati, “Mune rimwe guta maiva nomutongi akanga asingatyi Mwari uye asina hanya navanhu.
3 and a widow was in that city, and she was coming to him, saying, Do me justice on my opponent,
Uye muguta imomo maiva nechirikadzi yakaramba ichiuya kwaari nechikumbiro ichiti, ‘Ndiruramisireiwo kumuvengi wangu.’
4 and he would not for a time, but after these things he said in himself, Even if I do not fear God, and do not regard man,
“Kwechinguva akamboramba. Asi pakupedzisira akati mumwoyo make, ‘Kunyange dai ndisingatyi Mwari uye ndisina hanya navanhu,
5 yet because this widow gives me trouble, I will do her justice, lest, continuously coming, she may bruise me.”
asi nokuda kwokuti chirikadzi iyi inoramba ichindinetsa, ndinofanira kuiruramisira, kuitira kuti arege kuzoramba achindinetsa nokuuya kwake!’”
6 And the LORD said, “Hear what the unrighteous judge says:
Zvino Ishe akati, “Inzwai zvinotaurwa nomutongi asakarurama.
7 and will God not execute justice to His chosen ones, who are crying to Him day and night—bearing long in regard to them?
Ko, zvino Mwari haangaruramisiri vasanangurwa vake, vanodanidzira kwaari masikati nousiku here? Acharamba achivadzosa here?
8 I say to you that He will execute justice to them quickly; but the Son of Man having come, will He find faith on the earth?”
Ndinoti kwamuri, achaona kuti varuramisirwa, uye nokukurumidza. Kunyange zvakadaro hazvo, kana Mwanakomana woMunhu achisvika, achawana kutenda panyika here?”
9 And He also spoke to some who have been trusting in themselves that they were righteous, and have been despising the rest, this allegory:
Jesu akataura mufananidzo uyu, kuna vamwe vakanga vachivimba nokururama kwavo uye vaizvidza vamwe akati,
10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee, and the other a tax collector;
“Varume vaviri vakakwira kutemberi kundonyengetera, mumwe akanga ari muFarisi uye mumwe ari muteresi.
11 the Pharisee having stood by himself, thus prayed: God, I thank You that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unrighteous, adulterers, or even as this tax collector;
MuFarisi akasimuka akazvinyengeterera achiti, ‘Mwari, ndinokuvongai nokuti handina kufanana navamwe vanhu, makororo, vaiti vezvakaipa, mhombwe, kana kunyange muteresi uyu.
12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all things—as many as I possess.
Ndinozvinyima zvokudya kaviri pavhiki uye ndinopa chegumi chezvose zvandinowana.’
13 And the tax collector, having stood far off, would not even lift up the eyes to the sky, but was striking on his breast, saying, God be propitious to me—the sinner!
“Asi muteresi akamira ari nechokure, asingadi kunyange kutarira kudenga, asi akazvirova chipfuva akati, ‘Mwari, ndinzwirei tsitsi, ini mutadzi.’
14 I say to you, this one went down declared righteous, to his house, rather than that one: for everyone who is exalting himself will be humbled, and he who is humbling himself will be exalted.”
“Ndinokuudzai kuti munhu uyu, akadzokera kumba kwake aruramiswa pamberi paMwari kupinda muFarisi. Nokuti mumwe nomumwe anozvikudza achaninipiswa, uye uyo anozvininipisa achakudzwa.”
15 And they were also bringing the babies near, that He may touch them, and the disciples having seen, rebuked them,
Vanhu vakauyawo navacheche kuna Jesu kuti avanyengeterere. Vadzidzi vakati vachiona izvozvo, vakavatsiura.
16 and Jesus having called them near, said, “Permit the little children to come to Me, and do not forbid them, for of such is the Kingdom of God;
Asi Jesu akadana vana kwaari achiti, “Regai vana vaduku vauye kwandiri, uye musavadzivisa, nokuti umambo hwaMwari ndohwavakadai.
17 truly I say to you, whoever may not receive the Kingdom of God as a little child, may not enter into it.”
Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri, ani naani asingagamuchiri umambo hwaMwari somwana muduku haangatongopindi mahuri.”
18 And a certain ruler questioned Him, saying, “Good Teacher, what having done—will I inherit continuous life?” (aiōnios g166)
Mumwe mutongi akamubvunza achiti, “Mudzidzisi akanaka, ndinofanira kuitei kuti ndigogara nhaka youpenyu husingaperi?” (aiōnios g166)
19 And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one [is] good, except one—God;
Jesu akapindura achiti, “Seiko uchinditi ndakanaka? Hakuna akanaka kunze kwaMwari oga.
20 you have known the commands: You may not commit adultery, You may not murder, You may not steal, You may not bear false witness, Honor your father and your mother.”
Iwe unoziva mirayiro inoti: ‘Usaita upombwe, usauraya, usapupura nhema, kudza baba vako namai vako.’”
21 And he said, “All these I kept from my youth”;
Iye akati, “Izvi zvose ndakazvichengeta kubva paudiki hwangu.”
22 and having heard these things, Jesus said to him, “Yet one thing to you is lacking: all things—as many as you have—sell, and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in Heaven, and come, follow Me”;
Jesu akati achinzwa izvi, akati kwaari, “Uchiri kushayiwa chinhu chimwe chete. Tengesa zvose zvaunazvo ugopa varombo, ugozova nepfuma kudenga. Ipapo, ugouya unditevere.”
23 and he, having heard these things, became very sorrowful, for he was exceedingly rich.
Akati anzwa izvozvo, akasuwa zvikuru, nokuti akanga ari murume akapfuma zvikuru.
24 And Jesus having seen him become very sorrowful, said, “How hardly will those having riches enter into the Kingdom of God!
Jesu akatarisa kwaari akati, “Zvikukutu sei kuti mupfumi apinde muumambo hwaMwari!
25 For it is easier for a camel to enter through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God.”
Zvirokwazvo, zviri nyore kwazvo kuti ngamera ipinde napaburi retsono pano kuti mupfumi apinde muumambo hwaMwari.”
26 And those who heard, said, “And who is able to be saved?”
Vaya vakazvinzwa izvozvo vakabvunza vachiti, “Ndianiko zvino angaponeswa?”
27 And He said, “The things impossible with men are possible with God.”
Jesu akapindura achiti, “Zvisingagoneki kuvanhu zvinogoneka kuna Mwari.”
28 And Peter said, “Behold, we left all, and followed You”;
Petro akati kwaari, “Takasiya zvose zvataiva nazvo kuti tikuteverei!”
29 and He said to them, “Truly I say to you that there is not one who left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the sake of the Kingdom of God,
Jesu akati kwavari, “Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri, hakuna munhu akasiya musha, kana mukadzi, kana mununʼuna, kana vabereki, kana vana nokuda kwoumambo hwaMwari,
31 And having taken the Twelve aside, He said to them, “Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things will be accomplished that have been written through the prophets to the Son of Man,
Jesu akatsaura parutivi vane gumi navaviri akavaudza kuti, “Tiri kuenda kuJerusarema, uye zvose zvakanyorwa navaprofita pamusoro poMwanakomana woMunhu zvichazadziswa.
32 for He will be delivered up to the nations, and will be mocked, and insulted, and spit on,
Achaiswa mumaoko evedzimwe ndudzi. Vachamuseka, vachamutuka, nokumupfira mate, vachamurova uye vachamuuraya.
33 and having scourged they will put Him to death, and on the third day He will rise again.”
Pazuva rechitatu achamukazve.”
34 And they understood none of these things, and this saying was hid from them, and they were not knowing the things said.
Vadzidzi hapana chavakanzwisisa pachinhu ichi. Zvairehwa zvacho zvakanga zvakavanzika kwavari, uye havana kuziva zvaakanga achitaura pamusoro pazvo.
35 And it came to pass, in His coming near to Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting beside the way begging,
Jesu akati aswedera pedyo neJeriko, mumwe murume akanga ari bofu akanga agere parutivi pomugwagwa achipemha.
36 and having heard a multitude going by, he was inquiring what this may be,
Akati achinzwa vanhu vazhinji vakanga vachipfuura, akabvunza kuti chii chakanga chichiitika.
37 and they brought him word that Jesus the Nazarene passes by,
Vakamuudza kuti, “Jesu weNazareta ari kupfuura napano.”
38 and he cried out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, deal kindly with me”;
Iye akadanidzira achiti, “Jesu, Mwanakomana waDhavhidhi, ndinzwireiwo ngoni!”
39 and those going before were rebuking him, that he might be silent, but he was crying out much more, “Son of David, deal kindly with me!”
Vaya vakanga vachitungamira vakamutsiura vakamuudza kuti anyarare, asi iye akanyanyisa kudanidzira achiti, “Mwanakomana waDhavhidhi, ndinzwireiwo ngoni!”
40 And Jesus having stood, commanded him to be brought to Him, and he having come near, He questioned him,
Jesu akamira ndokurayira kuti murume uyu auyiswe kwaari. Akati aswedera pedyo, Jesu akamubvunza akati,
41 saying, “What do you will I will do to you?” And he said, “Lord, that I may receive sight.”
“Unoda kuti ndikuitireiko?” Iye akapindura akati, “Ishe, ndinoda kuti ndione.”
42 And Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight; your faith has saved you”;
Jesu akati kwaari, “Chiona; kutenda kwako kwakuporesa.”
43 and instantly he received sight, and was following Him, glorifying God; and all the people, having seen, gave praise to God.
Pakarepo akaona akatevera Jesu, achirumbidza Mwari. Vanhu vose vakati vachizviona, naivowo vakarumbidza Mwari.
