Luke 11
1 And it came to pass, that as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
Mumwe musi Jesu akanga achinyengetera ari pane imwe nzvimbo. Akati apedza, mumwe wavadzidzi vake akati kwaari, “Ishe, tidzidzisei kunyengetera, saJohani akadzidzisa vadzidzi vake.”
2 And he said to them, When ye pray, say, Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth.
Iye akati kwavari, “Kana muchinyengetera, muti: “‘Baba vedu vari kudenga, zita renyu ngarikudzwe noutsvene. Umambo hwenyu ngahuuye. Kuda kwenyu ngakuitwe panyika sezvinoitwa kudenga.
3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
Tipei zuva nezuva chingwa chedu chamazuva namazuva.
4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
Uye mutiregerere zvivi zvedu; nokuti nesuwo tinoregerera vose vanotitadzira. Musatitungamirira mukuedzwa; uye mutinunure pane zvakaipa.’”
5 And he said to them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go to him at midnight, and say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves:
Ipapo akati kwavari, “Kana mumwe wenyu ane shamwari, uye akaenda kwaari pakati pousiku akati, ‘Shamwari, ndikweretesewo zvingwa zvitatu,
6 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?
nokuti shamwari yangu iri parwendo yasvika kwangu, uye ini handina chandingamupa.’
7 And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.
“Ipapo uya ari mukati akati, ‘Rega kundinetsa. Mukova wangu watopfigwa, uye vana vangu neni tavata. Handikwanisi kumuka kuti ndikupe kana chinhu.’
8 I say to you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.
Ndinokuudzai, kuti kunyange asingazomuki kuti amupe chingwa nokuda kwokuti ishamwari yake, asi nokuda kwokushingirira kwomunhu uyu, achamuka agomupa zvose zvaanoda.
9 And I say to you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and the door shall be opened to you.
“Saka ndinoti kwamuri: Kumbirai, muchapiwa, tsvakai, muchawana; gogodzai, muchazarurirwa mukova.
10 For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, the door shall be opened.
Nokuti ani naani anokumbira achapiwa; anotsvaka achawana; anogogodza, achazarurirwa mukova.
11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if [he shall ask] a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
“Ndiani pakati penyu vanababa, angati, kana mwanakomana wake amukumbira hove, omupa nyoka pachinzvimbo chehove?
12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
Kana kuti akakumbira zai, angamupa chinyavada here?
13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children: how much more will [your] heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
Zvino kana imi, kunyange makaipa zvenyu, muchiziva kupa zvipo zvakanaka kuvana venyu, Baba venyu vari kudenga vachapa zvikuru sei Mweya Mutsvene kuna vanomukumbira!”
14 And he was casting out a demon, and it was dumb. And it came to pass when the demon was gone out, the dumb spoke; and the people wondered.
Jesu akanga achidzinga dhimoni raiva mbeveve. Dhimoni rakati rabva, munhu uya akanga ari mbeveve akataura, uye vazhinji vakashamiswa nazvo.
15 But some of them said, He casteth out demons through Beelzebub, the chief of the demons.
Asi vamwe vavo vakati, “Anodzinga dhimoni naBheerizebhubhi, muchinda mukuru wamadhimoni.”
16 And others tempting [him], sought from him a sign from heaven.
Vamwewo vakamuedza nokumukumbira chiratidzo.
17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house [divided] against a house falleth.
Jesu akaziva ndangariro dzavo akati kwavari, “Umambo hupi zvahwo hunozvipesanisa huchaparadzwa, uye imba inozvipesanisa ichawa.
18 If Satan also is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out demons through Beelzebub.
Kana Satani achizvipesanisa, umambo hwake hungamira seiko? Ndinotaura izvi nokuti munonditi ndinobudisa madhimoni naBheerizebhubhi.
19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast [them] out? therefore shall they be your judges.
Zvino kana ndichibudisa madhimoni naBheerizebhubhi, ko, vanakomana venyu vanoabudisa naani? Saka zvino, ivo vachava vatongi venyu.
20 But if I with the finger of God cast out demons, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.
Asi kana ndichidzinga madhimoni nomunwe waMwari, ipapo umambo hwaMwari hwasvika kwamuri.
21 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:
“Kana munhu ane simba, akanyatsoshonga nhumbi dzake dzokurwa, akachengeta imba yake, pfuma yake inochengetedzeka.
22 But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armor in which he trusted, and divideth his spoils.
Asi kana mumwe ane simba akamurwisa uye akamukunda, anomutorera nhumbi dzokurwa dzaanga achivimba nadzo agogova zvaanenge apamba.
23 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.
“Ani naani asiri kudivi rangu anorwa neni, uye asingaunganidzi pamwe chete neni, anoparadzira.
24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest: and finding none, he saith, I will return to my house whence I came out.
“Kana mweya wakaipa ukabuda mumunhu, unopinda nomunzvimbo dzakaoma uchitsvaka zororo ugorishayiwa. Ipapo unoti, ‘Ndichadzokera kumba kwandakabva.’
25 And when he cometh, he findeth [it] swept and garnished.
Paunosvika, unowana imba yakatsvairwa, yanaka uye igere zvakanaka.
26 Then he goeth and taketh [to him] seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last [state] of that man is worse than the first.
Ipapo unobuda wondotsvaka mimwe mweya minomwe yakaipa kupfuura iwo, igopinda yondogaramo. Uye magumo omunhu uyo akaipa kupfuura okutanga.”
27 And it came to pass, as he was speaking these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said to him, Blessed [is] the womb that bore thee, and the paps which nourished thee.
Jesu akati achiri kutaura zvinhu izvi, mumwe mukadzi aiva pakati pavanhu vazhinji akadanidzira achiti, “Vakaropafadzwa mai vakakuzvarai vakakuyamwisai.”
28 But he said, Yes, rather blessed [are] they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
Akapindura akati, “Asi vakaropafadzwa avo vanonzwa shoko raMwari uye vachiriteerera.”
29 And when the people were assembled in crowds, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
Vanhu vakati vachiwanda, Jesu akati kwavari, “Rudzi urwu rwakaipa. Runokumbira chiratidzo, asi harungapiwi chiratidzo kunze kwechaJona.
30 For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also shall the Son of man be to this generation.
Nokuti sezvo Jona akanga ari chiratidzo kuvaNinevhe, saizvozvowo ndizvo zvichaita Mwanakomana woMunhu kurudzi urwu.
31 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth, to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, a greater than Solomon [is] here.
Mambokadzi weZasi achasimuka pakutongwa navarume vorudzi urwu agovapa mhosva; nokuti akabva kumagumo enyika kuzonzwa uchenjeri hwaSoromoni, zvino mukuru kuna Soromoni ari pano.
32 The men of Nineveh shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, a greater than Jonah [is] here.
Varume veNinevhe vachasimuka pakutongwa norudzi urwu vagorupa mhosva; nokuti ivo vakatendeuka pakuparidza kwaJona, zvino mukuru kuna Jona ari pano.
33 No man when he hath lighted a candle, putteth [it] in a secret place, neither under a close vessel, but on a candlestick, that they who come in may see the light.
“Hakuna munhu anotungidza mwenje agouisa panzvimbo yakavanda, kana pasi pedengu. Asi anouisa pachigadziko, kuitira kuti vose vanopinda mumba vaone chiedza.
34 The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thy eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when [thy eye] is evil, thy body also [is] full of darkness.
Ziso rako ndiwo mwenje womuviri wako. Kana meso ako akanaka, muviri wako wosewo uzere nechiedza. Asi kana akaipa, muviri wakowo uzere nerima.
35 Take heed therefore, that the light which is in thee be not darkness.
Chenjererai kuti chiedza chiri mamuri chirege kuva rima.
36 If thy whole body therefore [be] full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light; as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.
Naizvozvo kana muviri wako wose uzere nechiedza, uye pasina chikamu chawo chine rima, uchavhenekerwa zvakakwana, sezvinoita chiedza chomwenje pachinovhenekera pauri.”
37 And as he was speaking, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to eat.
Jesu akati apedza kutaura, mumwe muFarisi akamukoka kuti azodya naye; saka akaenda, akapinda akagara naye pakudya.
38 And when the Pharisee saw [it], he marveled that he had not first washed before dinner.
Asi muFarisi akaona kuti Jesu akanga asina kutanga ageza asati adya, zvikamushamisa.
39 And the Lord said to him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.
Ipapo Ishe akati kwaari, “Zvino, imi vaFarisi munosuka kunze kwomukombe nendiro, asi mukati menyu muzere nokukara nokuipa.
40 [Ye] fools, did not he that made that which is without, make that which is within also?
Imi mapenzi avanhu! Ko, akaita kunze haaziye akaitawo nomukati here?
41 But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and behold, all things are clean to you.
Asi ipai zviri mukati mendiro sezvipo kuvarombo, uye ipapo zvose zvichava zvakachena kwamuri.
42 But woe to you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint, and rue, and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the others undone.
“Mune nhamo imi vaFarisi, nokuti munopa kuna Mwari chegumi chemindi, nerui nezvimwe zvirimwa zvomubindu romuriwo, asi muchirega kururamisira, norudo rwaMwari. Maifanira kuzviita izvi musingasiyi zvokutanga zvisati zvaitwa.
43 Woe to you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
“Mune nhamo imi vaFarisi, nokuti munoda zvigaro zvapamusoro mumasinagoge nokukwaziswa pamisika.”
44 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over [them] are not aware [of them].
“Mune nhamo imi, nokuti makaita samakuva asina mucherechedzo, vanhu vanofamba napamusoro pawo vasingazvizivi.”
45 Then answered one of the lawyers, and said to him, Master, thus saying, thou reproachest us also.
Mumwe wavadudziri vomurayiro akamupindura akati, “Mudzidzisi, kana muchitaura izvi, munotuka nesuwo.”
46 And he said, Woe to you also, [ye] lawyers, for ye load men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
Jesu akapindura akati, “Mune nhamo nemiwo vadudziri vomurayiro, nokuti munoremedza vanhu nemitoro yavasingagoni kutakura, asi imi pachenyu hamutongosimudzi munwe wenyu kuti muvabatsire.
47 Woe to you! for ye build the sepulchers of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
“Mune nhamo imi, nokuti munovaka marinda avaprofita, uye madzitateguru enyu ariwo akavauraya.
48 Truly ye bear testimony, that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchers.
Saka muri kupupura kuti munotenderana nezvakaitwa namadzitateguru enyu; vakauraya vaprofita uye imi munovaka marinda avo.
49 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and [some] of them they will slay and persecute:
Nokuda kwaizvozvo, Mwari muuchenjeri hwake akati, ‘Ndichatumira vaprofita navapostori, vamwe vavo vachavauraya uye vachatambudza vamwe.’
50 That the blood of all the prophets, which hath been shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
Naizvozvo rudzi urwu ruchava nemhosva yeropa ravaprofita vose, rakadeurwa kubva pakuvamba kwenyika,
51 From the blood of Abel to the blood of Zacharias, who perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say to you, It shall be required of this generation.
kubva paropa raAbheri kusvikira kuropa raZekaria, uyo akaurayiwa pakati pearitari neimba tsvene. Hongu, ndinoti kwamuri, rudzi urwu ruchava nemhosva yezvinhu izvi zvose.
52 Woe to you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye have not entered in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.
“Mune nhamo imi, vadudziri vomurayiro, nokuti makabvisa kiyi yokuziva. Imi pachenyu hamuna kupinda, uye makadzivisa vaya vakanga vachipinda.”
53 And as he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge [him] vehemently, and to solicit him to speak of many things;
Jesu akati abva ipapo, vaFarisi navadzidzisi vomurayiro vakatanga kumupikisa zvikuru nokumubvunza mibvunzo yakawanda,
54 Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something from his mouth, that they might accuse him.
vachimirira kuti vamubate pane zvaaizotaura.
