Luke 7
1 When he had ended all his discourse in the hearing of the people, he entered Capernaum.
Jesu akati apedza kutaura zvose izvi vanhu vachizvinzwa, akapinda muKapenaume.
2 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick, and about to die.
Imomo maiva nomuranda womukuru wezana, aidiwa chose natenzi wake, akanga achirwara uye ava kuda kufa.
3 And having heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, and besought him to come and save his servant.
Mukuru wezana akanzwa nezvaJesu uye akatuma vamwe vakuru vavaJudha kwaari, achimukumbira kuti auye kuzoporesa muranda wake.
4 And they came to Jesus, and besought him earnestly, saying, He is worthy that thou shouldst do this for him;
Vakati vasvika kuna Jesu, vakamukumbira zvikuru vachiti, “Murume uyu akafanira kuti mumuitire izvi,
5 for he loveth our nation, and himself built the synagogue for us.
nokuti anoda rudzi rwedu uye ndiye akavaka sinagoge redu.”
6 And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying, Lord, trouble not thyself; for I am not worthy that thou shouldst come under my roof;
Naizvozvo Jesu akaenda navo. Akanga asiri kure nomusha pakatumwa shamwari nomukuru wezana kuti dzinoti kwaari, “Ishe, musazvinetsa zvenyu, nokuti handina kukodzera kuti imi mupinde mumba mangu.
7 on which account I did not think myself worthy to come to thee; but command with a word, and let my servant be healed.
Ndokusaka ndisina kumbofunga kuti ini ndive nekodzero yokuuya kwamuri. Asi, taurai henyu shoko, uye muranda wangu achapora.
8 For even I am a man set under authority, having soldiers under me; and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
Nokuti ini pachangu, ndiri munhu ari pasi pavamwe, uye ndine varwi vari pasi pangu. Ndinoti kuno uyu, ‘Enda,’ uye anoenda, kuno mumwe, ‘Uya’ uye anouya. Ndinoti kumuranda wangu, ‘Ita ichi,’ uye anochiita.”
9 And Jesus hearing this, wondered at him; and turning round said to the multitude that followed him, I say to you, Not even in Israel have I found such faith.
Jesu akati anzwa izvi, akashamiswa kwazvo naye, akatendeukira kuvanhu vazhinji vaimutevera akati, “Ndinoti kwamuri, handina kumboona kutenda kwakadai kunyange muIsraeri.”
10 And they who were sent, returning to the house, found the servant well.
Ipapo varume vaya vakanga vatumwa vakadzokera kumba vakawana muranda uya apora.
11 And it came to pass the day after, that he was going to a city called Nain; and many of his disciples were with him, and a great multitude.
Pasina kupera nguva refu, Jesu akaenda kuguta rainzi Naini, vadzidzi vake navanhu vazhinji kwazvo vakaendawo naye.
12 And as he came near the gate of the city, lo! there was carried out dead an only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a great multitude from the city was with her.
Kuzoti ave kuswedera pasuo reguta, munhu akafa akanga akatakurwa achiburitswa kunze, aingova mwanakomana mumwe chete wamai vake, uye vakanga vari chirikadzi. Uye vanhu vazhinji kwazvo vaibva muguta vaiva navo.
13 And when the Lord saw her, he was moved with compassion for her, and said to her, Weep not.
Ishe akati achivaona, mwoyo wake wakavanzwira tsitsi, akati kwavari, “Musachema.”
14 And he came up, and touched the bier; and they who bore it stood still; and he said, Young man, I say to thee, Rise.
Ipapo akaswedera pedyo akabata hwanyanza, uye vaya vakanga vakamutakura vakamira. Akati, “Jaya, ndinoti kwauri, muka!”
15 And he that was dead sat up and began to speak; and he gave him to his mother.
Munhu uya akanga afa akamuka akagara akatanga kutaura, uye Jesu akamupa kuna mai vake.
16 And fear seized on all, and they gave glory to God, saying, A great prophet hath risen up among us; and, God hath visited his people.
Vose vakazadzwa nokutya vakarumbidza Mwari. Vakati, “Muprofita mukuru amuka pakati pedu. Mwari auya kuzobatsira vanhu vake.”
17 And this report about him went forth in all Judaea, and in all the neighboring country.
Shoko iri pamusoro paJesu rakapararira muJudhea yose nenyika dzose dzakapoteredza.
18 And the disciples of John told him all these things.
Vadzidzi vaJohani vakamuudza pamusoro pezvinhu izvi zvose. Akadana vaviri vavo,
19 And calling to him two of his disciples, John sent them to the Lord, saying, Art thou he that is to come, or are we to look for another?
akavatuma kuna She kuti vandobvunza kuti, “Ndimi here iye aifanira kuuya kana kuti tomirira mumwewo?”
20 And the men came to him and said, John the Baptist hath sent us to thee, saying, Art thou he that is to come, or are we to look for another?
Varume ava vakati vasvika kuna Jesu, vakati, “Johani Mubhabhatidzi akatituma kwamuri kuti tizobvunza kuti, ‘Ndimi here mainzi muchauya, kana kuti timirire mumwewo?’”
21 In that hour he cured many of diseases, and plagues, and evil spirits, and to many who were blind he gave sight.
Panguva iyoyo Jesu akaporesa vazhinji vakanga vane zvirwere, matenda nemweya yakaipa uye akasvinudza vazhinji vakanga vari mapofu.
22 And he answered and said to them, Go and tell John what ye have seen and heard; that the blind receive sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor good tidings are brought;
Saka akapindura nhume achiti, “Dzokerai munoudza Johani zvamaona nezvamanzwa zvokuti: Mapofu anosvinudzwa, zvirema zvinofamba, vaya vana maperembudzi vanoporeswa, matsi dzinonzwa, vakafa vanomutswa uye vhangeri riri kuparidzwa kuvarombo.
23 and blessed is he, whoever shall find no occasion of stumbling in me.
Akaropafadzwa munhu asingagumbuswi nokuda kwangu.”
24 And when the messengers of John had departed, he began to say to the multitudes concerning John, What have ye gone out into the wilderness to see? the reeds shaken by the wind?
Shure kwokubva kwenhume dzaJohani, Jesu akatanga kutaura kuvanhu vazhinji pamusoro paJohani achiti, “Makabuda mukaenda kurenje kundooneiko? Rutsanga rwaizungunuswa nemhepo here?
25 But what have ye gone out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Lo! they who wear gorgeous apparel, and live luxuriously, are in kings' palaces.
Kana zvisizvo, makabuda kundooneiko? Munhu akanga akafuka nguo dzakanaka here? Kwete, vaya vanopfeka nguo dzomutengo mukuru uye vanogara zvakanaka ndivo vari mumizinda.
26 But what have ye gone out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
Asi makabuda kundooneiko? Muprofita here? Hongu, ndinokuudzai, uyewo anokunda muprofita.
27 This is he of whom it is written, “Lo! I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.”
Ndiye uya akanyorwa nezvake zvichinzi: “‘Ndichatuma nhume yangu pamberi pako, uyo achakugadzirira nzira yako pamberi pako.’
28 I say to you, Among those born of women there is no greater prophet than John; but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
Ndinokuudzai kuti, pakati paavo vose vakaberekwa navakadzi hakuna mukuru kuna Johani; asi muduku muumambo hwaMwari mukuru kwaari.”
29 And all the people when they heard him, and the publicans, acknowledged God as righteous by being baptized with the baptism of John.
Vanhu vose, kunyange navateresi, vakati vanzwa mashoko aJesu, vakabvuma kuti nzira yaMwari yakarurama, nokuti vakanga vabhabhatidzwa naJohani.
30 But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the purpose of God toward themselves, not being baptized by him.
Asi vaFarisi nenyanzvi dzomurayiro vakaramba kuda kwaMwari pamusoro pavo, nokuti vakanga vasina kubhabhatidzwa naJohani.
31 To what then shall I compare the men of this generation, and what are they like?
“Zvino, ndingafananidza rudzi rwakadai neiko? Vakafanana neiko?
32 They are like children sitting in the market-place, and calling one to another, saying, We piped to you, and ye did not dance; we sung a dirge, and ye did not weep.
Vakaita savana vagere pamusika vachidanidzira kuno mumwe nomumwe wavo vachiti: “‘Takakuridzirai hwamanda, asi hamuna kutamba; takaimba rwiyo rworufu, uye hamuna kuchema.’
33 For John the Baptist hath come not eating bread, nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a demon.
Nokuti Johani Mubhabhatidzi akauya asingadyi chingwa uye asinganwi waini, imi mukati, ‘Ane dhimoni.’
34 The Son of man hath come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold, a glutton and a wine-bibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!
Mwanakomana woMunhu akauya achidya uye achinwa, imi mukati, ‘Houno munhu wamadyo uye chidhakwa, shamwari yavateresi na“vatadzi”.’
35 But wisdom is acknowledged by all her children.
Asi uchenjeri hunoratidzwa navana vahwo vose.”
36 And one of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him; and he went into the Pharisee's house, and reclined at the table.
Zvino mumwe wavaFarisi akakoka Jesu kuti azodya naye, saka akaenda kumba kwomuFarisi uyu akandogara kuti adye.
37 And lo! a woman who was in the city, a sinner, learning that he was at table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster-bottle of ointment,
Mumwe mukadzi womuguta umu akanga achirarama muzvivi akati anzwa kuti Jesu akanga agere pakudya mumba momuFarisi, akauya nechinu chamafuta anonhuhwira chearabhasta,
38 and standing behind at his feet, weeping, began to wet his feet with tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
akamira shure kwake akatanga kuchema, uye akanyorovesa tsoka dzake nemisodzi yake. Ipapo akadzipukuta nebvudzi romusoro wake, akadzitsvoda uye akadzizodza mafuta anonhuhwira.
39 And the Pharisee who had invited him, when he saw this, said within himself, This man, if he were a prophet, would know who, and what sort of woman, this is that toucheth him; for she is a sinner.
Zvino muFarisi uya akanga amukoka akati achiona izvi, akati mumwoyo make, “Dai munhu uyu anga ari muprofita, angadai aziva kuti mukadzi uyu amubata akaita sei, kuti mutadzi.”
40 And Jesus answering said to him, Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. And he saith, Teacher, say on.
Jesu akamupindura akati, “Simoni, ndine chinhu chandinoda kukutaurira.” Iye akati, “Ndiudzei henyu mudzidzisi.”
41 A certain money-lender had two debtors; one owed five hundred denaries, and the other fifty.
“Vamwe varume vaviri vakanga vane chikwereti kumunhu mumwe chete. Mumwe akanga ane chikwereti chamadhenari mazana mashanu, uye mumwe madhenari makumi mashanu.
42 When they had nothing to pay, he freely remitted the debt of both. Which of them, now, will love him the most?
Hakuna akanga ane mari yokuripa chikwereti pavari vose vari vaviri, saka nyakukweretesa akadzima zvikwereti zvavo vose. Zvino ndoupiko pauviri hwavo achanyanya kumuda?”
43 Simon answering said, He, I suppose, to whom he remitted the most. And he said to him, Thou hast judged rightly.
Simoni akapindura akati, “Ndinofunga kuti ndouya akadzimirwa chikwereti chikuru.” Jesu akati, “Wataura zvakanaka.”
44 And turning to the woman, he said to Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered thy house, no water didst thou give me for my feet; but she wet my feet with tears, and wiped them with her hair.
Ipapo akatendeukira kumukadzi ndokuti kuna Simoni, “Unoona here mukadzi uyu? Ndapinda mumba mako; hauna kundipa kana mvura yokugeza tsoka dzangu, asi uyu anyorovesa tsoka dzangu nemisodzi yake uye akadzipukuta nebvudzi romusoro wake.
45 No kiss didst thou give me; but she, from the time I came in, did not cease to kiss my feet.
Iwe hauna kunditsvoda, asi mukadzi uyu, kubvira panguva yandapinda, haana kurega kutsvoda tsoka dzangu.
46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint; but she anointed my feet with costly ointment.
Iwe hauna kuzodza musoro wangu namafuta, asi iye adira zvinonhuhwira patsoka dzangu.
47 Wherefore, I say to thee, her many sins have been forgiven; for she loved much; but he to whom little is forgiven loveth little.
Naizvozvo, ndinokuudza kuti zvivi zvake zvizhinji zvaregererwa nokuti iye ada zvikuru. Asi uya akaregererwa zvishoma, anodawo zvishoma.”
48 And he said to her, Thy sins have been forgiven.
Ipapo Jesu akati kwaari, “Zvivi zvako zvaregererwa.”
49 And those who were at table with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that even forgiveth sins?
Vamwe vakanga vakokwa vakatanga kutaura pakati pavo vachiti, “Ndianiko uyu anoti kunyange nezvivi anokanganwira?”
50 But he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
Jesu akati kumukadzi, “Kutenda kwako kwakuponesa; chienda norugare.”
