Luke 18
1 And he spake also a simile to them, that it behoveth [us] always to pray, and not to faint,
Zvino wakavaudzawo mufananidzo kuti vanofanira kunyengetera nguva dzese, uye vasaora moyo,
2 saying, 'A certain judge was in a certain city — God he is not fearing, and man he is not regarding —
achiti: Kwaiva mune rimwe guta neumwe mutongi, wakange asingatyi Mwari, uye asingaremekedzi munhu;
3 and a widow was in that city, and she was coming unto him, saying, Do me justice on my opponent,
zvino kwakange kune chirikadzi muguta iro, yakange ichiuya kwaari, ichiti: Ndiruramisirei 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,
Asi wakange asingadi kwenguva; asi pashure pezvinhu izvi wakati mukati make: Kunyange ndisingatyi Mwari, uye ndisingaremekedzi munhu;
5 yet because this widow doth give me trouble, I will do her justice, lest, perpetually coming, she may plague me.'
asi nokuti chirikadzi iyi inonditambudza, ndichairuramisira, zvimwe pakupedzisira ingasvika pakunditsamwisa kwazvo.
6 And the Lord said, 'Hear ye what the unrighteous judge saith:
Ishe ndokuti: Inzwai mutongi asakarurama zvaanoreva.
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 Mwari haangaruramisiri here vakasanangurwa vake, vanodana kwaari masikati neusiku, kunyange achivanonokera?
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: Achakurumidza kuvaruramisira. Asi kana Mwanakomana wemunhu achisvika, achawana rutendo 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:
Zvino wakareva mufananidzo uyu kune vamwewo vaizvivimba kuti vakarurama, vachizvidza vamwe, akati:
10 'Two men went up to the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-gatherer;
Vanhu vaviri vakakwira kutembere kunonyengetera; umwe muFarisi, uye umwe 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 wakamira akazvinyengeterera zvinhu izvi, akati: Mwari, ndinokutendai kuti handina kufanana nevamwe vanhu, makororo, vasakarurama, mhombwe, kana kunyange semuteresi uyu.
12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all things — as many as I possess.
Ndinotsanya kaviri pavhiki, ndinopa chegumi chezvese 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 amire kure wakasada kunyange kusimudzira meso kudenga, asi wakarova pachifuva chake, achiti: 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.'
Ndinoti kwamuri: Uyu wakaburukira kumba kwake anzi wakarurama pane uya; nokuti umwe neumwe anozvikwiridzira achaninipiswa, uye anozvininipisa achakwiridzirwa.
15 And they were bringing near also the babes, that he may touch them, and the disciples having seen did rebuke them,
Zvino vakauisa kwaari vachechewo, kuti avabate; asi vadzidzi vakati vachizviona, 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 wakadanira ivo vacheche kwaari akati: Tenderai vacheche vauye kwandiri, musavadzivisa, nokuti ushe hwaMwari ndehwevakadai.
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 nani asingagamuchiri ushe hwaMwari semucheche, haangatongopindi mahuri.
18 And a certain ruler questioned him, saying, 'Good teacher, what having done — shall I inherit life age-during?' (aiōnios g166)
Zvino umwe mutungamiriri wakamubvunza, achiti: Mudzidzisi wakanaka, ndiitei kuti ndigare nhaka yeupenyu husingaperi? (aiōnios g166)
19 And Jesus said to him, 'Why me dost thou call good? no one [is] good, except One — God;
Jesu ndokuti kwaari: Unondiidzirei wakanaka? Hakuna wakanaka, kunze kweumwe, Mwari.
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.'
Mirairo unoiziva, inoti: Usaita upombwe, usauraya, usaba, usapupura nhema, kudza baba vako namai vako.
21 And he said, 'All these I did keep from my youth;'
Iye ndokuti: Izvi zvese 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;'
Zvino Jesu wakati achinzwa zvinhu izvi akati kwaari: Uchiri kushaiwa chinhu chimwe; tengesa zvese zvaunazvo, ugovere varombo, uye uchava nefuma yakakosha kudenga; ugouya pano wonditevera.
23 and he, having heard these things, became very sorrowful, for he was exceeding rich.
Zvino wakati anzwa zvinhu izvi, akashungurudzika zvikuru; nokuti wakange akafuma zvikuru.
24 And Jesus having seen him become very sorrowful, said, 'How hardly shall those having riches enter into the reign of God!
Zvino Jesu wakati achiona kuti washungurudzika zvikuru akati: Zvicharemera sei vane fuma kupinda muushe 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.'
Nokuti zvakareruka kuti kamera ripinde richidarika nemuburi retsono, kumufumi kupinda muushe hwaMwari.
26 And those who heard, said, 'And who is able to be saved?'
Zvino avo vakanzwa, vakati: Zvino ndiani anogona kuponeswa?
27 and he said, 'The things impossible with men are possible with God.'
Asi iye akati: Zvinhu zvisingagoneki nevanhu, zvinogoneka naMwari.
28 And Peter said, 'Lo, we left all, and did follow thee;'
Petro ndokuti: Tarirai, isu takasiya zvese, tikakuteverai.
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,
Zvino akati kwavari: Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Hakuna munhu wakasiya imba, kana vabereki, kana madzikoma nevanin'ina, kana mukadzi, kana vana, nekuda kweushe 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,
Zvino wakatora vanegumi nevaviri, akati kwavari: Tarirai, tinokwira kuJerusarema, uye zvinhu zvese zvakanyorwa nevaporofita maererano neMwanakomana wemunhu zvichazadziswa.
32 for he shall be delivered up to the nations, and shall be mocked, and insulted, and spit upon,
Nokuti achakumikidzwa kune vechirudzi, agosekwa, nekuitirwa zvakaipa, nekupfirwa,
33 and having scourged they shall put him to death, and on the third day he shall rise again.'
uye vachamurova netyava uye vachamuuraya; uye pazuva retatu achamukazve.
34 And they none of these things understood, and this saying was hid from them, and they were not knowing the things said.
Asi ivo havana kunzwisisa chinhu chimwe cheizvozvi, uye shoko iri rakange rakavanzwa kwavari, uye havana kunzwisisa zvinhu zvakarehwa.
35 And it came to pass, in his coming nigh to Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting beside the way begging,
Zvino zvakaitika oswedera Jeriko, rimwe bofu raigara padivi penzira richipemha;
36 and having heard a multitude going by, he was inquiring what this may be,
rakati richinzwa chaunga chichipfuura, rikabvunza kuti chinyi ichi.
37 and they brought him word that Jesus the Nazarene doth pass by,
Zvino vakariudza kuti: Jesu weNazareta anopfuura.
38 and he cried out, saying, 'Jesus, Son of David, deal kindly with me;'
Zvino rakadanidzira richiti: Jesu Mwanakomana waDhavhidhi, ndinzwirei tsitsi!
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.'
Zvino vakange vakatungamira vakaritsiura kuti rinyarare; asi iro rakanyanyisa kudanidzira, richiti: Mwanakomana waDhavidhi, ndinzwirei tsitsi!
40 And Jesus having stood, commanded him to be brought unto him, and he having come nigh, he questioned him,
Zvino Jesu wakamira, akaraira kuti riuyiswe kwaari; zvino rakati raswedera akaribvunza,
41 saying, 'What wilt thou I shall do to thee?' and he said, 'Sir, that I may receive sight.'
achiti: Unoda kuti ndikuitirei? Zvino rakati: Ishe, kuti ndionezve.
42 And Jesus said to him, 'Receive thy sight; thy faith hath saved thee;'
Jesu ndokuti kwaari: Chionazve! Rutendo rwako rwakuponesa.
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 rikaonazve, rikamutevera, richirumbidza Mwari; vanhu vese vakati vachizviona vakarumbidza Mwari.
