Matthew 21
1 And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, unto the mount of the Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
Vakati voswedera kuJerusarema uye vasvika muBhetifage pagomo reMiorivhi, Jesu akatuma vadzidzi vaviri,
2 saying to them, 'Go on to the village over-against you, and immediately ye shall find an ass bound, and a colt with her — having loosed, bring ye to me;
achiti kwavari, “Endai kumusha wamakatarisana nawo uye imomo muchaona mbongoro yakasungirirwa pamwe chete nomwana wayo. Mudzisunungure muuye nadzo kwandiri.
3 and if any one may say anything to you, ye shall say, that the lord hath need of them, and immediately he will send them.'
Kana pano munhu anotaura chinhu kwamuri, mumuudze kuti, Ishe anodzida uye achadzidzosa nokukurumidza.”
4 And all this came to pass, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through the prophet, saying,
Izvi zvakaitika kuti zvizadzise zvakataurwa kubudikidza nomuprofita achiti:
5 'Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Lo, thy king doth come to thee, meek, and mounted on an ass, and a colt, a foal of a beast of burden.'
“Muti kuMwanasikana weZioni, ‘Tarira, Mambo wako anouya kwauri, ari munyoro, akatasva mbongoro, ari pamusoro pomwana wembongoro.’”
6 And the disciples having gone and having done as Jesus commanded them,
Vadzidzi vakaenda vakandoita sezvavakanga varayirwa naJesu.
7 brought the ass and the colt, and did put on them their garments, and set [him] upon them;
Vakauya nembongoro nomwana wayo, vakaisa nguo dzavo pamusoro padzo, uye Jesu akagara pamusoro padzo.
8 and the very great multitude spread their own garments in the way, and others were cutting branches from the trees, and were strewing in the way,
Vanhu vazhinji vakawarira nguo dzavo mumugwagwa, vamwewo vakatema mapazi emiti vakaawarira mumugwagwa.
9 and the multitudes who were going before, and who were following, were crying, saying, 'Hosanna to the Son of David, blessed is he who is coming in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.'
Vazhinji vakanga vakatungamira mberi navaya vakanga vachitevera vakadanidzira vachiti: “Hosana kuMwanakomana waDhavhidhi!” “Akaropafadzwa uyo anouya muzita raIshe!” “Hosana kumusoro-soro!”
10 And he having entered into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, 'Who is this?'
Jesu akati apinda muJerusarema, guta rose rakazungunuswa, vakabvunza vachiti, “Ndianiko uyu?”
11 And the multitudes said, 'This is Jesus the prophet, who [is] from Nazareth of Galilee.'
Vazhinji vakati, “Uyu ndiye Jesu, muprofita anobva kuNazareta kuGarirea.”
12 And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and did cast forth all those selling and buying in the temple, and the tables of the money-changers he overturned, and the seats of those selling the doves,
Jesu akapinda munzvimbo yetemberi akadzinga vose vaitenga nokutengesa. Akapidigura tafura dzavaitsinhanha mari nezvigaro zvavaitengesa njiva.
13 and he saith to them, 'It hath been written, My house a house of prayer shall be called, but ye did make it a den of robbers.'
Akati kwavari, “Kwakanyorwa kuchinzi, ‘Imba yangu ichanzi imba yokunyengetera,’ asi imi mava kuiita ‘bako ramakororo.’”
14 And there came to him blind and lame men in the temple, and he healed them,
Mapofu navakaremara vakauya kwaari kutemberi, uye akavaporesa.
15 and the chief priests and the scribes having seen the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, 'Hosanna to the Son of David,' were much displeased;
Asi vaprista vakuru navadzidzisi vomurayiro pavakaona zvinhu zvinoshamisa zvaakaita, uye vana vachidanidzira mutemberi vachiti, “Hosana kuMwanakomana waDhavhidhi,” vakatsamwa.
16 and they said to him, 'Hearest thou what these say?' And Jesus saith to them, 'Yes, did ye never read, that, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings Thou didst prepare praise?'
Vakamubvunza vachiti, “Uri kunzwa zviri kurehwa navana ava here?” Jesu akavapindura achiti, “Hongu, hamuna kurava here panoti: “‘Pamiromo yavana navacheche makaisa rumbidzo’?”
17 And having left them, he went forth out of the city to Bethany, and did lodge there,
Uye akavasiya akabuda muguta umu akaenda kuBhetani kwaakandovata.
18 and in the morning turning back to the city, he hungered,
Mangwanani-ngwanani, paakanga ari munzira achidzokera kuguta, akanzwa nzara.
19 and having seen a certain fig-tree on the way, he came to it, and found nothing in it except leaves only, and he saith to it, 'No more from thee may fruit be — to the age;' and forthwith the fig-tree withered. (aiōn g165)
Akati aona muonde pedyo nomugwagwa, akatsaukira pauri asi haana kuwana chinhu pauri kunze kwamashizha. Ipapo akati kwauri, “Ngakurege kuva nemicherozve pauri!” Pakarepo muti uya wakabva wasvava. (aiōn g165)
20 And the disciples having seen, did wonder, saying, 'How did the fig-tree forthwith wither?'
Vadzidzi vakati vazviona, vakakatyamara, vakati, “Ko, muonde uyu wabva wasvava pakarepo sei?”
21 And Jesus answering said to them, 'Verily I say to you, If ye may have faith, and may not doubt, not only this of the fig-tree shall ye do, but even if to this mount ye may say, Be lifted up and be cast into the sea, it shall come to pass;
Jesu akapindura akati, “Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti kana mune kutenda uye musingakahadziki, hamungaiti zvaitwa kumuonde uyu chete, asi munogonawo kuti kugomo iri, ‘Enda undozvikanda mugungwa’ uye zvichaitika.
22 and all — as much as ye may ask in the prayer, believing, ye shall receive.'
Kana muchitenda, muchagamuchira zvose zvamunokumbira mukunyengetera.”
23 And he having come to the temple, there came to him when teaching the chief priests and the elders of the people, saying, 'By what authority dost thou do these things? and who gave thee this authority?'
Jesu akapinda muruvazhe rwetemberi, uye paakanga achidzidzisa, vaprista vakuru navakuru vavanhu vakauya kwaari. Vakamubvunza vakati, “Muri kuita zvinhu izvi nesimba ripi? Uye ndiani akakupai simba irori?”
24 And Jesus answering said to them, 'I will ask you — I also — one word, which if ye may tell me, I also will tell you by what authority I do these things;
Jesu akapindura akati, “Nemiwo ndichakubvunzai mubvunzo mumwe chete. Kana mukandipindura ndichakuudzaiwo simba randiri kuita naro zvinhu izvi.
25 the baptism of John, whence was it? — from heaven, or from men?' And they were reasoning with themselves, saying, 'If we should say, From heaven; he will say to us, Wherefore, then, did ye not believe him?
Rubhabhatidzo rwaJohani rwakabvepi? Rwakabva kudenga here kana kuvanhu?” Vakataurirana pakati pavo vachiti, “Kana tikati, ‘Rwakabva kudenga’ achazobvunza kuti, ‘Zvino makaregerei kumutenda?’
26 and if we should say, From men, we fear the multitude, for all hold John as a prophet.'
Asi kana tikati, ‘Rwakabva kuvanhu,’ tinotya vanhu, nokuti vose vanotenda kuti Johani aiva muprofita.”
27 And answering Jesus they said, 'We have not known.' He said to them — he also — 'Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
Saka vakapindura Jesu vachiti, “Hatizivi.” Ipapo iye akati, “Neni handingakuudzeiwo simba randinoita naro zvinhu izvi.”
28 'And what think ye? A man had two children, and having come to the first, he said, Child, go, to-day be working in my vineyard.'
“Munofungei nazvo? Paiva nomurume aiva navanakomana vaviri. Akaenda kuno wokutanga akati, ‘Mwanangu, enda nhasi unoshanda mumunda wemizambiringa.’
29 And he answering said, 'I will not,' but at last, having repented, he went.
“Akapindura achiti, ‘Handidi,’ asi pashure akazvidemba uye akazoenda hake.
30 'And having come to the second, he said in the same manner, and he answering said, I [go], sir, and went not;
“Ipapo baba vaya vakaenda kuno mumwe mwanakomana vakasvikomuudza zvimwe chetezvo. Iye akapindura achiti, ‘Ndichaenda, baba’ asi haana kuenda.
31 which of the two did the will of the father?' They say to him, 'The first.' Jesus saith to them, 'Verily I say to you, that the tax-gatherers and the harlots do go before you into the reign of God,
“Ndoupiko pavaviri ava akaita zvaidiwa nababa vake?” Vakapindura vachiti, “Wokutanga.” Jesu akati kwavari, “Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, vateresi nezvifeve vari kukutangirai kupinda muumambo hwaMwari.
32 for John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye did not believe him, and the tax-gatherers and the harlots did believe him, and ye, having seen, repented not at last — to believe him.
Nokuti Johani akauya kwamuri kuti azokuratidzai nzira yokururama, mukasamutenda, asi vateresi nezvifeve vakatenda. Uye kunyange mushure mokunge maona izvi hamuna kutendeuka mukamutenda.
33 'Hear ye another simile: There was a certain man, a householder, who planted a vineyard, and did put a hedge round it, and digged in it a wine-press, and built a tower, and gave it out to husbandmen, and went abroad.
“Inzwai mumwe mufananidzo. Kwakanga kuno mumwe murume akanga arima munda wake wemizambiringa. Akaukomberedza noruzhowa, akacherera chisviniro chewaini uye akavaka shongwe. Ipapo akasiya munda womuzambiringa kuvarimi vaimupa mari ndokuenda parwendo rurefu.
34 'And when the season of the fruits came nigh, he sent his servants unto the husbandmen, to receive the fruits of it,
Nguva yokukohwa yakati yasvika, akatuma varanda vake kuvarimi vaya kuti vandotora zvibereko zvake.
35 and the husbandmen having taken his servants, one they scourged, and one they killed, and one they stoned.
“Varimi vakabata varanda vaya, vakarova mumwe, vakauraya mumwe, uye vakataka wechitatu namabwe.
36 'Again he sent other servants more than the first, and they did to them in the same manner.
Ipapo akatumazve vamwe varanda kwavari, vakawanda kupfuura vokutanga, varimi vakavaitira zvimwe chetezvo.
37 'And at last he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son;
Pakupedzisira akatuma mwanakomana wake kwavari. Akati, ‘Vacharemekedza mwanakomana wangu.’
38 and the husbandmen having seen the son, said among themselves, This is the heir, come, we may kill him, and may possess his inheritance;
“Asi varimi pavakaona mwanakomana vakataurirana vakati, ‘Uyu ndiye mudyi wenhaka. Uyai timuuraye, tigotora nhaka yake.’
39 and having taken him, they cast [him] out of the vineyard, and killed him;
Saka vakamutora vakamubudisa kunze kwemunda wemizambiringa vakamuuraya.
40 whenever therefore the lord of the vineyard may come, what will he do to these husbandmen?'
“Naizvozvo, panouya muridzi womunda womuzambiringa achaiteiko kuvarimi avo?”
41 They say to him, 'Evil men — he will evilly destroy them, and the vineyard will give out to other husbandmen, who will give back to him the fruits in their seasons.'
Vakapindura vakati, “Achaparadza varimi vakaipa ava, uye achapa munda womuzambiringa kuna vamwe varimi avo vachazomupa mugove wake wezvirimwa pakukohwa.”
42 Jesus saith to them, 'Did ye never read in the Writings, A stone that the builders disallowed, it became head of a corner; from the Lord hath this come to pass, and it is wonderful in our eyes.
Jesu akati kwavari, “Hamuna kutomborava here muMagwaro panoti: “‘Ibwe rakarambwa navavaki ndiro rakazova musoro wekona. Ishe aita izvi, uye zvinoshamisa pamberi pedu’?
43 'Because of this I say to you, that the reign of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth its fruit;
“Naizvozvo ndinokuudzai kuti umambo hwaMwari huchatorwa kubva kwamuri huchipiwa kuvanhu vachabereka zvibereko zvahwo.
44 and he who is falling on this stone shall be broken, and on whomsoever it may fall it will crush him to pieces.'
Uyo anowira pamusoro pebwe iri achavhunika kuita zvidimbu zvidimbu asi uyo warichawira achapwanyiwa.”
45 And the chief priests and the Pharisees having heard his similes, knew that of them he speaketh,
Vaprista vakuru navaFarisi pavakanzwa mifananidzo yaJesu, vakaziva kuti aitaura nezvavo.
46 and seeking to lay hold on him, they feared the multitudes, seeing they were holding him as a prophet.
Vakatsvaka nzira yokuti vamusunge nayo, asi vakatya vanhu vazhinji nokuti vakanga vachiti muprofita.
