Luke 18
1 And he spake also a simile to them, that it behoveth [us] always to pray, and not to faint,
Ipapo Jesu akaudza vadzidzi vake mufananidzo wokuvaratidza kuti vaifanira kunyengetera nguva dzose vasingaori mwoyo.
2 saying, 'A certain judge was in a certain city — God he is not fearing, and man he is not regarding —
Akati, “Mune rimwe guta maiva nomutongi akanga asingatyi Mwari uye asina hanya navanhu.
3 and a widow was in that city, and she was coming unto him, saying, Do me justice on my opponent,
Uye muguta imomo maiva nechirikadzi yakaramba ichiuya kwaari nechikumbiro ichiti, ‘Ndiruramisireiwo kumuvengi wangu.’
4 and he would not for a time, but after these things he said in himself, Even if God I do not fear, and man do not regard,
“Kwechinguva akamboramba. Asi pakupedzisira akati mumwoyo make, ‘Kunyange dai ndisingatyi Mwari uye ndisina hanya navanhu,
5 yet because this widow doth give me trouble, I will do her justice, lest, perpetually coming, she may plague me.'
asi nokuda kwokuti chirikadzi iyi inoramba ichindinetsa, ndinofanira kuiruramisira, kuitira kuti arege kuzoramba achindinetsa nokuuya kwake!’”
6 And the Lord said, 'Hear ye what the unrighteous judge saith:
Zvino Ishe akati, “Inzwai zvinotaurwa nomutongi asakarurama.
7 and shall not God execute the justice to His choice ones, who are crying unto Him day and night — bearing long in regard to them?
Ko, zvino Mwari haangaruramisiri vasanangurwa vake, vanodanidzira kwaari masikati nousiku here? Acharamba achivadzosa here?
8 I say to you, that He will execute the justice to them quickly; but the Son of Man having come, shall he find the faith upon the earth?'
Ndinoti kwamuri, achaona kuti varuramisirwa, uye nokukurumidza. Kunyange zvakadaro hazvo, kana Mwanakomana woMunhu achisvika, achawana kutenda panyika here?”
9 And he spake also unto certain who have been trusting in themselves that they were righteous, and have been despising the rest, this simile:
Jesu akataura mufananidzo uyu, kuna vamwe vakanga vachivimba nokururama kwavo uye vaizvidza vamwe akati,
10 'Two men went up to the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-gatherer;
“Varume vaviri vakakwira kutemberi kundonyengetera, mumwe akanga ari muFarisi uye mumwe ari muteresi.
11 the Pharisee having stood by himself, thus prayed: God, I thank Thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unrighteous, adulterers, or even as this tax-gatherer;
MuFarisi akasimuka akazvinyengeterera achiti, ‘Mwari, ndinokuvongai nokuti handina kufanana navamwe vanhu, makororo, vaiti vezvakaipa, mhombwe, kana kunyange muteresi uyu.
12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all things — as many as I possess.
Ndinozvinyima zvokudya kaviri pavhiki uye ndinopa chegumi chezvose zvandinowana.’
13 'And the tax-gatherer, having stood afar off, would not even the eyes lift up to the heaven, but was smiting on his breast, saying, God be propitious to me — the sinner!
“Asi muteresi akamira ari nechokure, asingadi kunyange kutarira kudenga, asi akazvirova chipfuva akati, ‘Mwari, ndinzwirei tsitsi, ini mutadzi.’
14 I say to you, this one went down declared righteous, to his house, rather than that one: for every one who is exalting himself shall be humbled, and he who is humbling himself shall be exalted.'
“Ndinokuudzai kuti munhu uyu, akadzokera kumba kwake aruramiswa pamberi paMwari kupinda muFarisi. Nokuti mumwe nomumwe anozvikudza achaninipiswa, uye uyo anozvininipisa achakudzwa.”
15 And they were bringing near also the babes, that he may touch them, and the disciples having seen did rebuke them,
Vanhu vakauyawo navacheche kuna Jesu kuti avanyengeterere. Vadzidzi vakati vachiona izvozvo, vakavatsiura.
16 and Jesus having called them near, said, 'Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the reign of God;
Asi Jesu akadana vana kwaari achiti, “Regai vana vaduku vauye kwandiri, uye musavadzivisa, nokuti umambo hwaMwari ndohwavakadai.
17 verily I say to you, Whoever may not receive the reign of God as a little child, may not enter into it.'
Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri, ani naani asingagamuchiri umambo hwaMwari somwana muduku haangatongopindi mahuri.”
18 And a certain ruler questioned him, saying, 'Good teacher, what having done — shall I inherit life age-during?' (aiōnios g166)
Mumwe mutongi akamubvunza achiti, “Mudzidzisi akanaka, ndinofanira kuitei kuti ndigogara nhaka youpenyu husingaperi?” (aiōnios g166)
19 And Jesus said to him, 'Why me dost thou call good? no one [is] good, except One — God;
Jesu akapindura achiti, “Seiko uchinditi ndakanaka? Hakuna akanaka kunze kwaMwari oga.
20 the commands thou hast known: Thou mayest not commit adultery, Thou mayest do no murder, Thou mayest not steal, Thou mayest not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.'
Iwe unoziva mirayiro inoti: ‘Usaita upombwe, usauraya, usapupura nhema, kudza baba vako namai vako.’”
21 And he said, 'All these I did keep from my youth;'
Iye akati, “Izvi zvose ndakazvichengeta kubva paudiki hwangu.”
22 and having heard these things, Jesus said to him, 'Yet one thing to thee is lacking; all things — as many as thou hast — sell, and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come, be following me;'
Jesu akati achinzwa izvi, akati kwaari, “Uchiri kushayiwa chinhu chimwe chete. Tengesa zvose zvaunazvo ugopa varombo, ugozova nepfuma kudenga. Ipapo, ugouya unditevere.”
23 and he, having heard these things, became very sorrowful, for he was exceeding rich.
Akati anzwa izvozvo, akasuwa zvikuru, nokuti akanga ari murume akapfuma zvikuru.
24 And Jesus having seen him become very sorrowful, said, 'How hardly shall those having riches enter into the reign of God!
Jesu akatarisa kwaari akati, “Zvikukutu sei kuti mupfumi apinde muumambo hwaMwari!
25 for it is easier for a camel through the eye of a needle to enter, than for a rich man into the reign of God to enter.'
Zvirokwazvo, zviri nyore kwazvo kuti ngamera ipinde napaburi retsono pano kuti mupfumi apinde muumambo hwaMwari.”
26 And those who heard, said, 'And who is able to be saved?'
Vaya vakazvinzwa izvozvo vakabvunza vachiti, “Ndianiko zvino angaponeswa?”
27 and he said, 'The things impossible with men are possible with God.'
Jesu akapindura achiti, “Zvisingagoneki kuvanhu zvinogoneka kuna Mwari.”
28 And Peter said, 'Lo, we left all, and did follow thee;'
Petro akati kwaari, “Takasiya zvose zvataiva nazvo kuti tikuteverei!”
29 and he said to them, 'Verily I say to you, that there is not one who left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the sake of the reign of God,
Jesu akati kwavari, “Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri, hakuna munhu akasiya musha, kana mukadzi, kana mununʼuna, kana vabereki, kana vana nokuda kwoumambo hwaMwari,
31 And having taken the twelve aside, he said unto them, 'Lo, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things shall be completed — that have been written through the prophets — to the Son of Man,
Jesu akatsaura parutivi vane gumi navaviri akavaudza kuti, “Tiri kuenda kuJerusarema, uye zvose zvakanyorwa navaprofita pamusoro poMwanakomana woMunhu zvichazadziswa.
32 for he shall be delivered up to the nations, and shall be mocked, and insulted, and spit upon,
Achaiswa mumaoko evedzimwe ndudzi. Vachamuseka, vachamutuka, nokumupfira mate, vachamurova uye vachamuuraya.
33 and having scourged they shall put him to death, and on the third day he shall rise again.'
Pazuva rechitatu achamukazve.”
34 And they none of these things understood, and this saying was hid from them, and they were not knowing the things said.
Vadzidzi hapana chavakanzwisisa pachinhu ichi. Zvairehwa zvacho zvakanga zvakavanzika kwavari, uye havana kuziva zvaakanga achitaura pamusoro pazvo.
35 And it came to pass, in his coming nigh to Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting beside the way begging,
Jesu akati aswedera pedyo neJeriko, mumwe murume akanga ari bofu akanga agere parutivi pomugwagwa achipemha.
36 and having heard a multitude going by, he was inquiring what this may be,
Akati achinzwa vanhu vazhinji vakanga vachipfuura, akabvunza kuti chii chakanga chichiitika.
37 and they brought him word that Jesus the Nazarene doth pass by,
Vakamuudza kuti, “Jesu weNazareta ari kupfuura napano.”
38 and he cried out, saying, 'Jesus, Son of David, deal kindly with me;'
Iye akadanidzira achiti, “Jesu, Mwanakomana waDhavhidhi, ndinzwireiwo ngoni!”
39 and those going before were rebuking him, that he might be silent, but he was much more crying out, 'Son of David, deal kindly with me.'
Vaya vakanga vachitungamira vakamutsiura vakamuudza kuti anyarare, asi iye akanyanyisa kudanidzira achiti, “Mwanakomana waDhavhidhi, ndinzwireiwo ngoni!”
40 And Jesus having stood, commanded him to be brought unto him, and he having come nigh, he questioned him,
Jesu akamira ndokurayira kuti murume uyu auyiswe kwaari. Akati aswedera pedyo, Jesu akamubvunza akati,
41 saying, 'What wilt thou I shall do to thee?' and he said, 'Sir, that I may receive sight.'
“Unoda kuti ndikuitireiko?” Iye akapindura akati, “Ishe, ndinoda kuti ndione.”
42 And Jesus said to him, 'Receive thy sight; thy faith hath saved thee;'
Jesu akati kwaari, “Chiona; kutenda kwako kwakuporesa.”
43 and presently he did receive sight, and was following him, glorifying God; and all the people, having seen, did give praise to God.
Pakarepo akaona akatevera Jesu, achirumbidza Mwari. Vanhu vose vakati vachizviona, naivowo vakarumbidza Mwari.
