< Mark 14 >

1 It was now two days before the Festival of the Passover and the Unleavened bread. The Chief Priests and the Teachers of the Law were looking for an opportunity to arrest Jesus by stealth, and to put him to death;
Zvino kwakanga kwangosara mazuva maviri kuti Pasika noMutambo weChingwa Chisina Mbiriso zviitwe, uye vaprista vakuru navadzidzisi vomurayiro vakanga vachitsvaka nzira yokuti vasunge Jesu nayo uye vamuuraye.
2 for they said: “Not during the Festival, for fear of a riot.”
Vakati, “Asi kwete panguva yoMutambo, nokuti vanhu vangangoita bope.”
3 When Jesus was still at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, while he was at table, a woman came with an alabaster jar of choice spikenard perfume of great value. She broke the jar, and poured the perfume on his head.
Uye paakanga ari muBhetani, agere pakudya mumba momumwe murume ainzi Simoni waMaperembudzi, mumwe mukadzi akauya nechinu chamafuta chearabhasita, mafuta anokosha kwazvo, akanga akaitwa nenaridhi yakaisvonaka. Akazarura chinu akadururira mafuta mumusoro wake.
4 Some of those who were present said to one another indignantly: “Why has the perfume been wasted like this?
Vamwe vakanga varipo pakati pavo vakatsamwa vakati, “Seiko vachitambisa mafuta aya kudai?
5 This perfume could have been sold for more than thirty pounds, and the money given to the poor.”
Angadai atengeswa nomutengo uno mubayiro unopfuura wegore rose, uye mari yacho yapiwa kuvarombo.” Uye vakatsiura mukadzi uyu nehasha.
6 “Let her alone,” said Jesus, as they began to find fault with her, “why are you troubling her? This is a beautiful deed that she has done for me.
Jesu akati kwavari, “Musiyei akadaro. Munomunetsereiko? Aita chinhu chakanaka kwandiri.
7 You always have the poor with you, and whenever you wish you can do good to them; but you will not always have me.
Varombo munavo nguva dzose, uye munogona kuvabatsira panguva ipi zvayo yamunoda. Asi hamuzogari muneni nguva dzose.
8 She has done what she could; she has perfumed my body beforehand for my burial.
Aita zvaanogona. Adururira mafuta anonhuhwira pamuviri wangu nguva isati yasvika, kuti agadzirire kuvigwa kwangu.
9 And I tell you, wherever, in the whole world, the Good News is proclaimed, what this woman has done will be told in memory of her.”
Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, kwose kunozoparidzwa vhangeri panyika yose, zvaaita izvi zvicharehwawo, vanhu vachimurangarira nazvo.”
10 After this, Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went to the Chief Priests, to betray Jesus to them.
Ipapo Judhasi Iskarioti, mumwe wavane gumi navaviri, akaenda kuvaprista vakuru kuti andotengesa Jesu kwavari.
11 They were glad to hear what he said, and promised to pay him. So he looked for a way to betray Jesus opportunely.
Vakafara kunzwa izvi uye vakavimbisa kumupa mari. Saka akamirira mukana wokumuisa kwavari.
12 On the first day of the Festival of the Unleavened bread, when it was customary to kill the Passover lambs, his disciples said to Jesus: “Where do you wish us to go and make preparations for your eating the Passover?”
Pazuva rokutanga roMutambo weChingwa Chisina Mbiriso, zvayakanga iri tsika yavo yokubayira gwayana rePasika, vadzidzi vaJesu vakamubvunza vakati, “Munoda kuti tiende kupi kwatingandokugadzirirai Pasika kuti mudye?”
13 Jesus sent forward two of his disciples and said to them: “Go into the city, and there a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you; follow him;
Saka akatuma vadzidzi vake vaviri akati kwavari, “Endai muguta, uye muchasangana nomurume akatakura chirongo chemvura. Mumutevere.
14 and, wherever he goes in, say to the owner of the house ‘The Teacher says — Where is my room where I am to eat the Passover with my disciples?’
Muti kumwene weimba yaanopinda mairi, ‘Mudzidzisi anobvunza kuti: Imba yangu yavaeni, mandingadyira Pasika navadzidzi vangu ndeipiko?’
15 He will himself show you a large upstairs room, set out ready; and there make preparations for us.”
Achakuratidzai imba huru yapamusoro, yakatorongedzwa uye yakagadzirwa. Mutigadzirire imomo.”
16 So the disciples set out and went into the city, and found everything just as Jesus had told them; and they prepared the Passover.
Vadzidzi vakabva, vakapinda muguta vakawana zvinhu zvakaita sezvavakanga vaudzwa naJesu. Saka vakagadzira Pasika.
17 In the evening he went there with the Twelve,
Ava madekwana, Jesu akasvika navane gumi navaviri.
18 and when they had taken their places and were eating, Jesus said: “I tell you that one of you is going to betray me — one who is eating with me.”
Vakati vagere pakudya, akati, “Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, mumwe wenyu achandipandukira, mumwe ari kudya neni.”
19 They were grieved at this, and began to say to him, one after another: “Can it be I?”
Vakasuwiswa nazvo, mumwe nomumwe akati kwaari, “Zvirokwazvo, kwete ini?”
20 “It is one of you Twelve,” said Jesus, “the one who is dipping his bread beside me into the dish.
Iye akapindura akati, “Ndomumwe wavane gumi navaviri, iye anoseva chingwa chake mundiro neni.
21 True, the Son of Man must go, as Scripture says of him, yet alas for that man by whom the Son of Man is being betrayed! For that man ‘it would be better never to have been born!’”
Mwanakomana woMunhu achaenda hake sezvazvakanyorwa pamusoro pake. Asi ane nhamo munhu uyo anopandukira Mwanakomana woMunhu! Zvaiva nani kwaari dai akanga asina kuzvarwa.”
22 While they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and, after saying the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, and said: “Take it; this is my body.”
Vakati vari pakudya, Jesu akatora chingwa, akavonga uye akachimedura, akapa vadzidzi vake achiti, “Torai mudye, uyu ndiwo muviri wangu.”
23 Then he took a cup, and, after saying the thanksgiving, gave it to them, and they all drank from it.
Ipapo akatora mukombe, akavonga akaupa kwavari, uye vose vakanwa pauri.
24 “This is my Covenant-blood,” he said, “which is poured out on behalf of many.
Akati kwavari, “Iri ndiro ropa rangu resungano, rinodururirwa vazhinji.
25 I tell you that I shall never again drink of the juice of the grape, until that day when I shall drink it new in the Kingdom of God.”
Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti handichazonwizve chibereko chomuzambiringa kusvikira pazuva randichazochinwa zvava zvitsva muumambo hwaMwari.”
26 They then sang a hymn, and went out up the Mount of Olives,
Vakati vaimba rwiyo, vakabuda vakaenda kuGomo reMiorivhi.
27 presently Jesus said to them: “All of you will fall away; for Scripture says — ‘I will strike down the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’
Jesu akati kwavari, “Imi mose muchapararira, nokuti kwakanyorwa kuchinzi: “‘Ndicharova mufudzi, makwai agopararira.’
28 Yet, after I have risen, I shall go before you into Galilee.”
Asi mushure mokumuka kwangu, ndichatungamira kuGarirea imi mozotevera.”
29 “Even if every one else falls away,” said Peter, “yet I shall not.”
Petro akati, “Kunyange dai vose vakakurambai, ini kwete.”
30 “I tell you,” answered Jesus, “that you yourself today — yes, this very night — before the cock crows twice, will disown me three times.”
Jesu akapindura akati, “Ndinokuudza chokwadi, nhasi, manheru ano chaiwo, jongwe risati rarira kaviri, iwe pachako uchandiramba katatu.”
31 But Peter vehemently protested: “Even if I must die with you, I shall never disown you!” And they all said the same.
Asi Petro akaramba akasimbisisa achiti, “Kunyange dai ndichifanira kufa nemi, handizombokurambai.” Uye vamwe vose vakadarowo.
32 Presently they came to a garden known as Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples “Sit down here while I pray.”
Vakaenda kunzvimbo inonzi Getsemani, Jesu akati kuvadzidzi vake, “Garai pano, ini ndichambondonyengetera.”
33 He took with him Peter, James, and John; and began to show signs of great dismay and deep distress of mind.
Akatora Petro, Jakobho naJohani pamwe chete naye, akatanga kushungurudzika zvikuru uye akatambudzika.
34 “I am sad at heart,” he said, “sad even to death; wait here, and watch.”
Akati, “Mweya wangu wazara neshungu kwazvo kusvikira pakufa. Garai pano uye murambe makarinda.”
35 Going on a little further, he threw himself on the ground, and began to pray that, if it were possible, he might be spared that hour.
Akati aenda chinhambwe zvishoma, akawira pasi akanyengetera kuti kana zvichibvira nguva iyi ipfuure, ibve kwaari.
36 “Abba, Father,” he said, “all things are possible to thee; take away this cup from me; yet, not what I will, but what thou willest.”
Akati, “Abha, Baba, zvinhu zvose zvinogoneka kwamuri. Bvisai mukombe uyu kwandiri. Asi kwete kuda kwangu, asi kuda kwenyu.”
37 Then he came and found the three Apostles asleep. “Simon,” he said to Peter, “are you asleep? Could not you watch for one hour?
Ipapo akadzokazve kuvadzidzi vake akavawana vavete. Akati kuna Petro, “Simoni, wavata here? Hauna kugona kurinda kweawa imwe chete here?
38 Watch and pray,” he said to them all, “that you may not fall into temptation. True, the spirit is eager, but human nature is weak.”
Rindai munyengetere kuti murege kuwira mumuedzo. Mweya unoda hawo, asi muviri hauna simba.”
39 Again he went away, and prayed in the same words;
Akaendazve kundonyengetera zvimwe chetezvo.
40 and coming back again he found them asleep, for their eyes were heavy; and they did not know what to say to him.
Paakadzoka, akawanazve vavete, nokuti meso avo akanga aremerwa nehope. Havana kuziva chokutaura kwaari.
41 A third time he came, and said to them: “Sleep on now, and rest yourselves. Enough! My time has come. Hark! the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of wicked men.
Achidzokerazve kechitatu akati kwavari, “Muchakavata uye muchiri kuzorora here? Zvaringana! Nguva yasvika. Tarirai, Mwanakomana woMunhu oiswa mumaoko avatadzi.
42 Up, and let us be going. Look! my betrayer is close at hand.”
Simukai! Ngatiendei! Hoyo mutengesi wangu ouya!”
43 And just then, while he was still speaking, Judas, who was one of the Twelve, came up; and with him a crowd of people, with swords and clubs, sent by the Chief Priests, the Teachers of the Law, and the Councillors.
Achiri kutaura, Judhasi Iskarioti, mumwe wavane gumi navaviri, akaonekwa. Akanga ana vanhu vazhinji vakapakata minondo netsvimbo, vatumwa navaprista vakuru, vadzidzisi vomurayiro, uye navakuru.
44 Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them. “The man whom I kiss,” he had said, “will be the one; arrest him and take him away safely.”
Zvino mutengesi akanga aronga navo chiratidzo achiti, “Munhu wandichatsvoda ndiye wacho; mumusunge mugoenda naye navarindi.”
45 As soon as Judas came, he went up to Jesus at once, and said: “Rabbi!” and kissed him.
Paakangosvika, Judhasi akaenda kuna Jesu, akati, “Rabhi!” ndokumutsvoda.
46 Then the men seized Jesus, and arrested him.
Vanhu vakabata Jesu vakamusunga.
47 One of those who were standing by drew his sword, and struck at the High Priest’s servant, and cut off his ear.
Ipapo mumwe akanga amire pedyo akavhomora munondo wake akatema muranda womuprista mukuru, akagura nzeve yake.
48 But Jesus interposed, and said to the men: “Have you come out, as if after a robber, with swords and clubs, to take me?
Jesu akati, “Ko, ndiri kutungamirira vapanduki here zvamauya neminondo netsvimbo kuti muzondibata?
49 I have been among you day after day in the Temple Courts teaching, and yet you did not arrest me; but this is in fulfilment of the Scriptures.”
Mazuva ose ndaiva nemi, ndichidzidzisa mutemberi, uye hamuna kundisunga. Asi Magwaro anofanira kuzadziswa.”
50 And all the Apostles forsook him, and fled.
Ipapo vose vakamusiya vakatiza.
51 One young man did indeed follow him, wrapped only in a linen sheet. They tried to arrest him;
Rimwe jaya, rakanga rakapfeka nguo yakaisvonaka, rakanga richitevera Jesu. Vakati varibata,
52 but he left the sheet in their hands, and fled naked.
rakatiza risina kupfeka, rikasiya nguo yaro mumashure.
53 Then they took Jesus to the High Priest; and all the Chief Priests, the Councillors, and the Teachers of the Law assembled.
Vakaenda naJesu kumuprista mukuru, uye vamwe vaprista vose vakuru navadzidzisi vomurayiro vakaungana pamwe chete.
54 Peter, who had followed Jesus at a distance into the court-yard of the High Priest, was sitting there among the police-officers, warming himself at the blaze of the fire.
Petro akamutevera ari nechokure, kusvikira apinda muruvazhe rwomuprista mukuru. Akagara navarindi achidziya moto.
55 Meanwhile the Chief Priest and the whole of the High Council were trying to get such evidence against Jesus as would warrant his being put to death, but they could not find any;
Vaprista vakuru namakurukota ose vakanga vachitsvaka chavangapa Jesu mhosva nacho kuitira kuti vagomuuraya, asi havana kuwana chinhu.
56 for, though there were many who gave false evidence against him, yet their evidence did not agree.
Vazhinji vakamupupurira nhema, asi uchapupu hwavo hahuna kupindirana.
57 Presently some men stood up, and gave this false evidence against him —
Ipapo vamwe vakasimuka vakapa uchapupu hwenhema uhu pamusoro pake vachiti,
58 “We ourselves heard him say ‘I will destroy this Temple made with hands, and in three days build another made without hands.’”
“Takamunzwa achiti, ‘Ndichaparadza temberi iyi yakavakwa navanhu uye shure kwamazuva matatu ndichavaka imwe, isina kuitwa navanhu.’”
59 Yet not even on that point did their evidence agree.
Kunyange ipapozve uchapupu hwavo hahuna kupindirana.
60 Then the High Priest stood forward, and questioned Jesus. “Have you no answer to make?” he asked. “What is this evidence which these men are giving against you?”
Ipapo muprista mukuru akamira pamberi pavo akabvunza Jesu achiti, “Ko, haupinduri here? Uchapupu hwaunopomerwa navanhu ava ndohweiko?”
61 But Jesus remained silent, and made no answer. A second time the High Priest questioned him. “Are you,” he asked, “the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”
Asi Jesu akaramba anyerere akasapindura. Muprista mukuru akamubvunzazve achiti, “Ndiwe Kristu here, Mwanakomana waIye Akaropafadzwa?”
62 “I am,” replied Jesus, “and you shall all see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the Almighty; and ‘coming in the clouds of heaven’.”
Jesu akati, “Ndini. Uye muchaona Mwanakomana woMunhu agere kuruoko rworudyi rwaIye Wamasimba achiuya ari pamakore okudenga.”
63 At this the High Priest tore his vestments. “Why do we want any more witnesses?” he exclaimed.
Muprista mukuru akabvarura nguo dzake, akati, “Tichatsvakireiko zvimwe zvapupu?
64 “You heard his blasphemy? What is your verdict?” They all condemned him, declaring that he deserved death.
Manzwa kumhura kwake. Munofungeiko?” Vose vakamutonga vachiti aifanira kufa.
65 Some of those present began to spit at him, and to blindfold his eyes, and strike him, saying, as they did so, “Now play the Prophet!” and even the police-officers received him with blows.
Ipapo vamwe vakatanga kumupfira mate; vakamusunga kumeso, vakamurova nezvibhakera, vachiti, “Profita!” Uye varindi vakamutora vakamurova.
66 While Peter was in the court-yard down below, one of the High Priest’s maidservants came up;
Petro paakanga achiri muruvazhe, mumwe musikana, murandakadzi womuprista mukuru akasvikapo.
67 and, seeing Peter warming himself, she looked closely at him, and exclaimed: “Why, you were with Jesus, the Nazarene!”
Akati aona Petro achidziya moto akamucherechedza. Akati kwaari, “Newewo wakanga una Jesu, weNazareta.”
68 But Peter denied it. “I do not know or understand what you mean,” he replied. Then he went out into the porch;
Asi iye akaramba akati, “Handizivi kana kunzwisisa zvaunoreva.” Akabuda akandomira pamukova wokupinda nawo.
69 and there the maidservant, on seeing him, began to say again to the by-standers: “This is one of them!”
Akati aonekwazve nomusikana uyu aiva murandakadzi, musikana akatizve kuna avo vakanga vamirepo, “Munhu uyu ndomumwe wavo.”
70 But Peter again denied it. Soon afterwards the bystanders again said to him: “You certainly are one of them; why you are a Galilean!”
Iye akarambazve izvozvo. Mushure menguva pfupi, vaya vakanga vamirepo vakati kuna Petro, “Chokwadi, iwe uri mumwe wavo, nokuti uri muGarirea.”
71 But he began to swear with the most solemn imprecations: “I do not know the man you are speaking about.”
Akatanga kutuka nokupika achiti, “Handizivi munhu uyu wamunotaura nezvake.”
72 At that moment, for the second time, a cock crowed; and Peter remembered the words that Jesus had said to him — ‘Before a cock has crowed twice, you will disown me three times’; and, as he thought of it, he began to weep.
Pakarepo jongwe rakarira kechipiri. Ipapo Petro akarangarira shoko raJesu raakanga ataura kwaari achiti, “Jongwe risati rarira kaviri uchandiramba katatu.” Akawira pasi uye akachema.
