Luke 16
1 And He said also to his disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and he was accused to him of wasting his goods.
Zvino wakataurawo kuvadzidzi vake achiti: Kwakange kune umwe munhu mufumi, waiva nemutariri; iye wakapomerwa kwaari seanoparadza nhumbi dzake.
2 And he called him, and said unto him, What is this I hear of thee? give up the accounts of thy stewardship, for thou canst be no longer steward.
Zvino wakamudana akati kwaari: Chii ichi chandinonzwa nezvako? Rondedzera nezveutariri hwako; nokuti hauchazogoni kuva mutariri.
3 And the steward said in himself, What shall I do? now my master takes away the stewardship from me; I am not able to work, and I am ashamed to beg.
Zvino mutariri wakati mukati make: Ndichaitei, sezvo ishe wangu wonditorera utariri? Handigoni kuchera, kupemha ndinonyara.
4 I know what I will do, that when I am turned out of my place, they may receive me into their houses.
Ndaziva zvandichaita, kuti kana ndabudiswa pautariri, vandigamuchire mudzimba dzavo.
5 So he called his master's debtors to him, and said to the first, How much owest thou to my master? and he said, an hundred baths of oil.
Zvino wakadanira kwaari umwe neumwe wavakange vane chikwereti kuna ishe wake, akati kune wekutanga: Une chikwereti chakadini kuna ishe wangu?
6 And he said to him, Take thy bill, and sit down and write but fifty.
Iye ndokuti: Zviyero zana zvemafuta. Ndokuti kwaari: Tora rugwaro rwako, ugare pasi nekukurumidza unyore makumi mashanu.
7 Then he said to another, And how much owest thou? and he said, an hundred measures of wheat: and he said to him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore.
Ndokuti kune umwe: Newe, une chikwereti chakadini? Iye ndokuti: Zviyero zana zvezviyo. Akati kwaari: Tora rugwaro rwako, unyore makumi masere.
8 And his master commended the dishonest steward as having acted prudently: for the men of this world are as to their affairs wiser than the children of light. (aiōn g165)
Zvino ishe wakarumbidza mutariri asakarurama, nokuti wakange aita nekuchenjera; nokuti vana venyika ino vakachenjera pazera ravo kukunda vana vechiedza. (aiōn g165)
9 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends with these unrighteous treasures, that when they fail, ye may be received into everlasting habitations. (aiōnios g166)
Neni ndinoti kwamuri: Muzviitire shamwari nafuma wekusakarurama, kuti kana musingachagoni, vakugamuchirei mudzimba dzekusingaperi. (aiōnios g166)
10 He, that is faithful in the lest, is faithful also in much: and he, that is unjust in the lest, is unjust also in much.
Wakatendeka pachidikisa wakatendekawo pachikuru, neusakarurama pachidikisa haana kururamawo pachikuru.
11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the false riches, who will intrust you with the true?
Naizvozvo kana musina kutendeka pana fuma usakarurama, ndiani achakubatisai chinhu chechokwadi?
12 and if ye have not been faithful in that which was another's, who will give you that which is your own?
Uye kana musina kutendeka pane cheumwe, ndiani achakupai chenyu?
13 No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or at lest he will be attached to the one, and neglect the other. Ye cannot serve God and Mammon.
Hakuna muranda anogona kubatira madzitenzi maviri; nokuti zvimwe achavenga umwe, ndokuda umwe; kana kuti achanamatira kune umwe, agozvidza umwe. Hamugoni kubatira Mwari nafuma.
14 And the pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things; and derided Him.
Zvino neVaFarisi vakange vari vadi vemari, vakanzwa zvinhu izvi zvese, vakamuseka.
15 And He said unto them, Ye justify yourselves before men, but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
Zvino wakati kwavari: Imwi ndimwi vanozviruramisa pamberi pevanhu, asi Mwari anoziva moyo yenyu; nokuti icho chinokwiridzirwa pakati pevanhu, chinyangadzo pamberi paMwari.
16 The law and the prophets continued until John: from that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every one presseth into it.
Murairo nevaporofita zvaivapo kusvikira kuna Johwani; kubva ipapo ushe hwaMwari hunoparidzwa, uye umwe neumwe anosenerera mahuri.
17 Though it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than one tittle of the law to fail.
Asi zvakareruka kuti denga nenyika zvipfuure, pakuti chidodzi chimwe chemurairo chiwe.
18 Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery; and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.
Ani nani anoramba mukadzi wake akawana umwe anoita upombwe; uye ani nani anowana wakarambwa kumurume anoita upombwe.
19 Now there was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen, living voluptuously and splendidly every day.
Kwakange kune umwe munhu mufumi, waipfeka zvine ruvara rwehute nemicheka yakaisvonaka, nekufara paumbozha mazuva ese.
20 And there was a poor man named Lazarus,
Zvino kwakange kune umwe mupemhi wainzi Razaro, wakange akaiswa pasuwo rake azere maronda,
21 who was laid at his gate full of sores, and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table: and the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass that the poor man died,
uye waishuva kugutswa nezvimedu zvaiwa patafura yemufumi; asi kunyange imbwa dzaiuya dzichinanzva maronda ake.
22 and was carried by angels to Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried.
Zvino zvakaitika kuti mupemhi wakafa, akatakurirwa nevatumwa kuchifuva chaAbhurahama; mufumi akafawo, akavigwa.
23 And in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham from afar, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
Zvino ari muhadhesi wakasimudza meso ake, ari pamarwadzo, akaona Abhurahama ari kure, naRazaro ari pachifuva chake. (Hadēs g86)
24 And he cried out and said, Father Abraham, have pity on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
Iye ndokudanidzira akati: Baba Abhurahama, ndinzwirei tsitsi, mutume Razaro, kuti anyike muromo wemunwe wake mumvura, atonhodze rurimi rwangu; nokuti ndinorwadziswa mumurazvo uyu.
25 And Abraham said, Son, remember that thou receivedst thy good things in thy life-time, and likewise Lazarus his evils: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
Asi Abhurahama wakati: Mwana, rangarira kuti iwe muupenyu hwako wakagamuchira zvakanaka zvako, saizvozvo naRazaro zvakaipa; asi zvino iye anonyaradzwa, uye iwe unorwadziwa.
26 And besides, there is a great gulf fixed between us and you; so that they, who would pass from hence to you, cannot; nor can they pass to us, who would come from thence.
Uye pamusoro peizvi zvese, pakati pedu nemwi pane mukaha mukuru wakaiswa, kuti vanoda kuyambuka kubva kuno vachiuya kwamuri vakonewe, neveko varege kuyambukira kwatiri.
27 Then he said, Therefore I intreat thee, Father, that thou wouldst send him to my father's house:
Iye ndokuti: Naizvozvo ndinokukumbirisai, baba, kuti mumutumire kuimba yababa vangu,
28 for I have five brethren; that he may testify to them my misery, least they also come into this place of torment.
nokuti ndine vanakomana vamai vangu vashanu, kuti anyatsovapupurira, zvimwe ivowo vangauya panzvimbo ino yemarwadzo.
29 Abraham answered him, They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them:
Abhurahama akati kwaari: Mozisi nevaporofita vanavo; ngavanzwe ivo.
30 and he said, Nay, father Abraham, but if one went to them from the dead, they will repent.
Iye ndokuti: Kwete, baba Abhurahama; asi kana umwe akaenda kwavari kubva kuvakafa, vachatendeuka.
31 And he replied, If they hearken not to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one should rise from the dead.
Asi wakati kwaari: Kana vasingateereri Mozisi nevaporofita, havangatendiswi kunyange kana umwe akamuka kubva kuvakafa.
