< Mark 12 >

1 Then Jesus began to teach them in parables. He said, “A man planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, and dug a pit for a winepress. He built a watchtower and then leased the vineyard to vine growers. Then he went away on a journey.
Zvino wakatanga kutaura kwavari nemifananidzo, achiti: Munhu wakasima munda wemizambiringa, akaisa ruzhowa rwakaukomberedza, akachera pekusvinira waini, akavaka shongwe, akauhaisa kuvarimi, ndokuenda parwendo.
2 At the right time, he sent a servant to the vine growers to receive from them some of the fruit of the vineyard.
Nenguva yakafanira, wakatumira muranda kuvarimi, kuti agamuchire kubva kuvarimi zvechibereko chemunda wemizambiringa.
3 But they took him, beat him, and sent him away with nothing.
Vakamubata vakarova, vakamuendesa asina chinhu.
4 Again he sent to them another servant, and they wounded him in the head and treated him shamefully.
Akatumazve kwavari umwe muranda; uyu vakamuposhera mabwe, vakamukuvadza mumusoro, vakamuendesa anyadziswa.
5 He sent yet another, and this one they killed. They treated many others in the same way, beating some and killing others.
Zvino wakatumazve umwe; uyu vakamuurayawo; nevamwe vazhinji, vachirova vamwe, nekuuraya vamwe.
6 He had still one more person to send, a beloved son. He was the last one he sent to them. He said, 'They will respect my son.'
Naizvozvo wakange achine mwanakomana umwe mudikanwi wake, akamutumirawo kwavari pakupedzisira, achiti: Vachakudza mwanakomana wangu.
7 But the vine growers said to one another, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.'
Asi varimi ivavo vakataurirana, vachiti: Uyu ndiye mugari wenhaka; uyai ngatimuurayei, nhaka ichava yedu.
8 They seized him, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.
Vakamutora vakauraya, vakaposhera kunze kwemunda wemizambiringa.
9 Therefore, what will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the vine growers and will give the vineyard to others.
Naizvozvo mwene wemunda wemizambiringa achaitei? Achauya akaparadza varimi, akapa munda wemizambiringa kune vamwe.
10 Have you not read this scripture? 'The stone which the builders rejected has been made the cornerstone.
Ko hamuna kuverenga here rugwaro urwu rwunoti: Ibwe vavaki ravakarasa, ndiro rava musoro wekona;
11 This was from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes.'”
izvi zvakaitwa naIshe, uye zvinoshamisa pameso edu?
12 They sought to arrest Jesus, but they feared the crowd, for they knew that he had spoken this parable against them. So they left him and went away.
Zvino vakatsvaka kumubata, asi vakatya chaunga; nokuti vaiziva kuti wakange ataura mufananidzo uyu akanangana navo. Vakamusiya vakaenda.
13 Then they sent some of the Pharisees and the Herodians to him to trap him with words.
Vakati vatuma kwaari vamwe veVaFarisi neveVaHerodhe, kuti vamubate pakutaura.
14 When they came, they said to him, “Teacher, we know that you care for no one's opinion, and you do not show partiality between people. You truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Should we pay or not?”
Zvino vakati vauya, vakati kwaari: Mudzidzisi, tinoziva kuti ndimwi wechokwadi, hamuna hanya nemunhu; nokuti hamutariri chimiro chemunhu, asi munodzidzisa nzira yaMwari muchokwadi: Zviri pamutemo kupa Kesari mutero here, kana kwete?
15 But Jesus knew their hypocrisy and said to them, “Why do you test me? Bring me a denarius so I can look at it.”
Tipe here, kana tirege kupa? Asi iye wakaziva unyepedzeri hwavo, akati kwavari: Munondiidzirei? Ndivigirei dhenario, kuti ndione.
16 They brought one to Jesus. He said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” They said, “Caesar's.”
Vakariuisa. Akati kwavari: Mufananidzo uyu nerunyoro urwu ndezvani? Vakati kwaari: ZvaKesari.
17 Jesus said, “Give to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.” They marveled at him.
Jesu akapindura akati kwavari: Dzoserai kuna Kesari zvinhu zvaKesari, nekuna Mwari zvinhu zvaMwari. Vakashamisika naye.
18 Then Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him. They asked him, saying,
Zvino kwakauya kwaari VaSadhusi, vanoti hakuna kumuka, vakamubvunza vachiti:
19 “Teacher, Moses wrote for us, 'If a man's brother dies and leaves a wife behind him, but no child, the man should take the brother's wife, and raise up a descendant for his brother.'
Mudzidzisi, Mozisi wakatinyorera kuti: Kana mukoma wemunhu akafa, akasiya mukadzi, akasasiya vana, kuti munin'ina wake atore mukadzi wake, amutsire mukoma wake mbeu.
20 There were seven brothers; the first took a wife and then died, leaving no children.
Zvino kwakange kune vanakomana vanomwe vemunhu umwe; wekutanga akawana mukadzi, akafa akasasiya mbeu.
21 Then the second took her and died, leaving no children, and the third likewise.
Wechipiri akamutora, akafa, iyewo akasasiya mbeu; newechitatu saizvozvo.
22 The seven left no children. Last of all, the woman also died.
Nevanomwe vakamutora, vakasasiya mbeu; shure kwevese mukadzi akafawo.
23 In the resurrection, when they rise again, whose wife will she be? For all seven brothers had her as their wife.”
Naizvozvo pakumuka, kana vachimuka, achava mukadzi wani kwavari? Nokuti vanomwe vakava naye kuita mukadzi.
24 Jesus said, “Is this not the reason you are mistaken, because you do not know the scriptures nor the power of God?
Jesu akapindura akati kwavari: Hamuna kurasika here neizvozvi, nokuti hamuzivi magwaro kana simba raMwari?
25 For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but they are like angels in heaven.
Nokuti kana vachimuka kubva kuvakafa, havawanani, kana kuwaniswa, asi vakaita sevatumwa vari kumatenga.
26 But concerning the dead that are raised, have you not read in the Book of Moses, in the account about the bush, how God spoke to him and said, 'I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob'?
Zvino maererano nevakafa, kuti vanomutswa, hamuna kurava here mubhuku raMozisi, kuti Mwari wakataura naye sei mugwenzi reminzwa, achiti: Ndiri Mwari waAbhurahama, naMwari waIsaka, naMwari waJakobho?
27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are quite mistaken.”
Haasi Mwari wevakafa, asi Mwari wevapenyu; imwi naizvozvo marasika kwazvo.
28 One of the scribes came and heard their discussion; he saw that Jesus answered them well. He asked him, “What commandment is the most important of all?”
Zvino umwe wevanyori wakasvika, wakati anzwa vachirangana, achiziva kuti wakange avapindura zvakanaka, akamubvunza achiti: Ndeupi murairo wekutanga kune yese?
29 Jesus answered, “The most important is, 'Hear, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.
Jesu akamupindura, achiti: Wekutanga kumirairo yese ndiwoyu: Inzwa Israeri, Ishe Mwari wedu, ndiIshe umwe chete!
30 You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.'
Uye ida Ishe Mwari wako nemoyo wako wese, uye nemweya wako wese, uye nefungwa dzako dzese, uye nesimba rako rese. Uyu murairo wekutanga.
31 The second commandment is this, 'You must love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other greater commandment than these.”
Newechipiri wakadai ndeuyu: Ida umwe wako sezvaunozvida. Hakuna umwe murairo mukuru kune iyi.
32 The scribe said, “Good, Teacher! You have truly said that God is one, and that there is no other besides him.
Zvino munyori akati kwaari: Zvakanaka, Mudzidzisi, mareva zvirokwazvo kuti kuna Mwari umwe chete, uye hakuna umwe kunze kwake;
33 To love him with all the heart and with all the understanding and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, is even more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
nekumuda nemoyo wese, uye nefungwa dzese, uye nemweya wese, uye nesimba rese, nekuda wekwako sezvaunozvida, zvinopfuura zvipiriso zvese zvinopiswa nezvibairo.
34 When Jesus saw that he had given a wise answer, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” After that, no one dared to ask Jesus any more questions.
Zvino Jesu wakati achimuona kuti wapindura nenjere, akati kwaari: Hausi kure neushe hwaMwari. Kukasazova nemunhu wakatsunga kumubvunza.
35 While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, he said, “How is it that the scribes say the Christ is the son of David?
Zvino Jesu wakati achidzidzisa mutembere, akapindura akati: Vanyori vanoreva sei kuti Kristu Mwanakomana waDhavhidhi?
36 David himself, in the Holy Spirit, said, 'The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.”'
Nokuti Dhavhidhi amene wakati neMweya Mutsvene: Ishe wakati kuna Ishe wangu: Gara kuruoko rwangu rwerudyi, kusvikira ndaita vavengi vako chitsiko chetsoka dzako.
37 David himself calls him 'Lord,' so how can the Christ be David's son?” The large crowd gladly listened to him.
Naizvozvo Dhavhidhi amene anomuidza Ishe, ko Mwanakomana wake papi? Chaunga chikuru chikamunzwa nemufaro.
38 In his teaching Jesus said, “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk in long robes and they like the greetings they receive in the marketplaces
Zvino wakati kwavari padzidziso yake: Chenjerai vanyori, vanoda kufamba nenguvo refu, nekwaziso pamisika,
39 and they like to have the chief seats in the synagogues and chief places at feasts.
nezvigaro zvemberi mumasinagoge, nezvinzvimbo zvakakwirira pazvirairo;
40 They also devour widows' houses, and they pray long prayers for people to see. These men will receive greater condemnation.”
vanodya dzimba dzechirikadzi, uye nekunyepedzera vachiita minyengetero mirefu; ivava vachagamuchira kuraswa kukuru kwazvo.
41 Then Jesus sat down across from an offering box in the temple area; he was watching people as they dropped their money into the box. Many rich people put in large amounts of money.
Jesu akagara pasi akatarisana nechivigiro chezvipo, akatarira kuti chaunga chinokanda sei mari muchivigiro; zvino vafumi vazhinji vakange vachikanda zvizhinji.
42 Then a poor widow came and put in two mites, worth about a penny.
Zvino kwakasvika imwe chirikadzi murombo, ikakanda tumari twemhangura tuviri, ndiro kobiri.
43 He called his disciples and said to them, “Truly I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them who contributed to the offering box.
Akadanira vadzidzi vake kwaari, akati kwavari: Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Chirikadzi iyi murombo yakanda zvizhinji kupfuura vese vakanda muchivigiro chezvipo;
44 For all of them gave out of their abundance. But this widow, out of her poverty, put in all of the money which she had to live on. “
nokuti vese vakanda pamuraudziro wavo; asi iye paurombo hwake wakanda zvese zvaanazvo, zvese zveupenyu hwake.
