Ruka 12
1 Zvichakadaro, zviuru nezviuru zvakati zvaungana, zvokuti vakanga vava kutsikirirana, Jesu akatanga kutaura kuvadzidzi vake achiti, “Chenjererai mbiriso yavaFarisi, kunyengera.
AND when (there) had gathered (by) myriads great assemblies, so that they would have trodden upon one another, Jeshu began to say to his disciples, Beware for yourselves before all things of the leaven of the Pharishee, which is hypocrisy.
2 Hakuna chinhu chakavanzika chisingazobudiswi pachena, kana chakavigwa chisingazozivikanwi.
For nothing is hidden which shall not be revealed, and nothing secreted which shall not be made known.
3 Zvamakataura murima zvichanzwika masikati machena, uye zvamakazevezera munzeve mudzimba dzomukati zvichadanidzirwa pamusoro pamatenga edzimba.
For all that you say in darknesses in the light shall be heard, and what you whisper in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed on the housetops.
4 “Ndinokuudzai, shamwari dzangu, musatya vaya vanouraya muviri mushure mezvo vasingazogoni kuita chimwe chinhu.
But I say to you, my beloved ones, Fear not them who kill the body, and who afterward can do nothing more;
5 Asi ndichakuratidzai wamunofanira kutya: Ityai uyo, anoti mushure mokunge auraya muviri, ane simbawo rokuukanda mugehena. Hongu, ndinoti, mutye iyeye. (Geenna g1067)
but I will show you whom you shall fear; Him who, after he hath killed, hath power to cast into gihana, yes, I say to you, Fear this (one). (Geenna g1067)
6 Ko, shiri shanu duku hadzitengeswi namasendi maviri here? Asi hakuna imwe yadzo inokanganwiwa naMwari.
Are not five sparrows sold for two asorin; and one of them is not forgotten before Aloha.
7 Zvirokwazvo, bvudzi chairo romumusoro menyu rakaverengwa. Musatya, imi munopfuura shiri duku zhinji.
But of you, the numbers of the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; than many sparrows more precious are you.
8 “Ndinokuudzai kuti, ani naani anondipupura pamberi pavanhu, Mwanakomana woMunhu achamupupurawo pamberi pavatumwa vaMwari.
But I tell you that every one who shall confess me before men, the Son of man will also confess him before the angels of Aloha.
9 Asi uyo anondiramba pamberi pavanhu acharambwawo pamberi pavatumwa vaMwari.
But he who denieth me before men, I will deny him before the angels of Aloha.
10 Uye mumwe nomumwe anotaura shoko rakaipa pamusoro poMwanakomana woMunhu, acharegererwa, asi ani naani anomhura Mweya Mutsvene haazombokanganwirwi.
And every one who shall speak a word against the Son of man, it may be forgiven him; but whoever against the Spirit of Holiness shall blaspheme, it shall not be forgiven him.
11 “Mukange mamiswa pamberi pesinagoge, vatongi navane simba, musafunganya pamusoro pokuti muchapindura sei kana kuti muchazvidzivirira sei,
And when they bring you into the synagogues, before heads and authorities, be not anxious how you shall express yourselves, or what you shall say;
12 nokuti panguva iyoyo Mweya Mutsvene achakudzidzisai zvamunofanira kutaura.”
for the Spirit of Holiness will teach you in that hour what you ought to say.
13 Mumwe pakati pavazhinji akati kwaari, “Mudzidzisi, udzai mukoma wangu kuti agovane nhaka neni.”
AND a man from the assembly said to him, Malphona, tell my brother to divide with me the inheritance.
14 Jesu akapindura akati, “Iwe murume, ndianiko akandigadza kuti ndive mutongi kana mugoveri pakati penyu?”
But Jeshu said to him, Man, who established me over you a judge and a divider?
15 Ipapo akati kwavari, “Chenjerai! Muchenjerere marudzi ose okuchiva; upenyu hwomunhu hahuzi pazvizhinji zhinji zvaanazvo.”
And he said to his disciples, Beware of all avarice: for life is not in the abundance of riches.
16 Uye akavaudza mufananidzo uyu akati, “Ivhu romumwe mupfumi rakabereka zvibereko zvakanaka.
And he spake a parable to them: The ground of a certain rich man produced him much provisions.
17 Akafunga mumwoyo make akati, ‘Ndichaita seiko? Handina nzvimbo yokuchengetera zviyo zvangu.’
And he thought within himself, and said, What shall I do? for I have not where to collect my provisions.
18 “Ipapo akati, ‘Hezvino zvandichaita. Ndichaputsa matura angu ndigovaka makuru, uye imomo ndimo mandichaunganidza zviyo zvangu nezvinhu zvangu.
And he said, This will I do: I will destroy my house of stores, and will build and enlarge it; and there will I collect all my provender and my good things:
19 Uye ndichati kumweya wangu, “Iwe une zvinhu zvakawanda zvakanaka zvawakaunganidzirwa makore mazhinji. Zorora, udye, unwe uye ufare.”’
and I will say to my soul, My soul, thou hast many good things laid up for many years: be at ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
20 “Asi Mwari akati kwaari, ‘Iwe benzi, usiku huno chaihwo upenyu hwako huchatorwa kubva kwauri. Zvino ndianiko achatora zvawanga wazvigadzirira?’
But Aloha said to him, Reasonless (man)! this night thy soul they shall require of thee; and then, (the things) which thou hast prepared,
21 “Ndizvo zvichaitika kuna ani zvake anozviunganidzira pfuma asi asina kupfuma kuna Mwari.”
whose shall they be? So is he who layeth up to himself treasures, and towards Aloha is not rich.
22 Ipapo Jesu akati kuvadzidzi vake, “Naizvozvo ndinoti kwamuri, musafunganya pamusoro poupenyu hwenyu, kuti muchadyei, kana pamusoro pomuviri wenyu, kuti muchapfekei.
And he said to his disciples, Therefore I tell you, Be not anxious for yourselves, what you shall eat; neither for the body, how you shall dress:
23 Upenyu hunopfuura zvokudya, uye muviri unopfuura zvokufuka.
for the soul is more precious than food, and the body than raiment.
24 Fungai nezvamakunguo nokuti haadyari kana kucheka, haana tsapi kana dura, asi Mwari anoapa zvokudya. Uye imi munopfuura shiri sei!
Consider the ravens, which sow not nor reap, which have no chambers or barns, yet Aloha feeds them. How much, therefore, are you better than the fowls!
25 Ndianiko kwamuri angawedzera awa imwe chete kuupenyu hwake nokufunganya?
And which of you by being anxious could add to his stature one cubit?
26 Sezvo musingagoni kuita chinhu chiduku ichi, seiko muchifunganya pamusoro pezvimwe?
But if indeed you are not capable of (that which is) the least, why concerning the rest are you anxious?
27 “Fungai maruva kuti anomera sei. Haabati kana kuruka, asi ndinoti kwamuri, kunyange naSoromoni mukubwinya kwake kwose haana kuzvipfekedza serimwe raaya.
Consider the lilies, how they grow, which toil not nor spin; but I tell you that even Shelemun in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
28 Kana ariwo mashongedzero anoita Mwari uswa hwesango, huripo nhasi, uye mangwana huchikandwa mumoto, achakupfekedzai zvikuru sei, imi vokutenda kuduku!
But if the herbage, which today is in the field, and to-morrow is cast into the furnace, Aloha thus clothes, how much more you, little in faith!
29 Musaisa mwoyo yenyu pane zvamuchadya kana kunwa; musafunganya pamusoro pazvo.
And seek you not what you shall eat, and what you shall drink; nor let your mind be distracted for these:
30 Nokuti vedzimwe ndudzi vanomhanyira zvinhu zvose zvakadaro, uye Baba venyu vanoziva kuti munoshayiwa izvozvo.
for all these the nations of the world seek; but to you also your Father knoweth that these are needful.
31 Asi tsvakai umambo hwavo, uye zvinhu zvose izvi zvichapiwawo kwamuri.
But seek the kingdom of Aloha, and these all shall be added to you.
32 “Musatya henyu, imi kaboka kaduku, nokuti Baba venyu vakafadzwa nokukupai umambo.
FEAR not, little flock; for your Father hath willed to give you the kingdom.
33 Tengesai zvamunazvo mugopa varombo. Zviitirei zvikwama zvisingasakari, nepfuma isingaperi kudenga, kusina mbavha inoswedera pedyo uye kusina zvipfukuto zvinoparadza.
Sell your substance, and give alms: make to you bags which become not old, and a treasure which is not transient, in the heavens, where the thief does not approach, and the moth destroys not.
34 Nokuti pane pfuma yako, ndipo pachava nomwoyo wakowo.
For where your treasure is, there will be also your heart.
35 “Zvishongedzei mugadzirire kushanda uye mwenje yenyu igare ichipfuta,
Let your loins be bound, and your lamps be burning,
36 savanhu vakarindira kudzoka kwatenzi wavo kubva kumuchato, kuitira kuti paanouya akagogodza, vagone kukurumidza kumuzarurira mukova.
and be you like men who wait for their lord, when he shall return from the place of festivity, that, when he hath come and knocked, immediately they may open to him.
37 Zvichava zvakanaka kuvaranda avo vachawanikwa natenzi wavo vakarindira paanodzoka. Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti achazvishongedza iye pachake kuti ashande, achaita kuti vagare patafura agouya avashandire.
Blessed those servants who, when their lord shall come, shall be found watching. Amen I tell you, He will gird his loins, and make them recline, and will come over and serve them.
38 Zvichava zvakanaka kuvaranda avo vachawanikwa natenzi wavo vakagadzirira, kunyange dai akauya nenguva yokurindira yechipiri kana yechitatu yousiku.
And if in the second or the third watch he shall come and find them thus, blessed will be those servants.
39 Asi nzwisisai izvi: kuti dai mwene weimba aiziva nguva inosvika mbavha, haaizotendera kuti imba yake ipazwe.
But this know, that if the lord of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have permitted his house to be dug through.
40 Nemiwo munofanira kugara makazvigadzirira, nokuti Mwanakomana woMunhu achauya nenguva yamusingamutarisiri.”
Also you, be you therefore ready: for, in that hour that you think not, cometh the Son of man.
41 Petro akati, “Ishe, munotaura mufananidzo uyu kwatiri here kana kuna vose?”
Shemun Kipha said to him, Our Lord, to us speakest thou this parable, or to all men also?
42 Ishe akapindura akati, “Ndoupiko mutariri akachenjera, uye akatendeka, anoiswa natenzi wake pamusoro pavashandi kuti avape mugove wezvokudya zvavo nenguva yakafanira?
Jeshu said to him, Who then is that steward, faithful and wise, whom his lord hath established over his service, to give the portion in its time?
43 Zvichava zvakanaka kumuranda uyo achawanikwa natenzi wake achiita izvozvo paanodzoka.
Blessed that servant whom, when his lord shall come, he shall find so doing.
44 Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, kuti, achamugadza kuti ave mutariri wepfuma yake yose.
Assuredly I tell you, He will establish him over all his substance.
45 Asi ngatimboti muranda oti mumwoyo make, ‘Tenzi wangu anonoka kuuya,’ ipapo obva atanga kurova varandarume navarandakadzi, agotanga kudya nokunwa uye agodhakwa.
But if that servant shall say in his heart, My lord withholdeth to come, and shall begin to beat the servants and the handmaids of his lord, and shall begin to eat and to drink and be drunken;
46 Tenzi womuranda uyo achauya pazuva raasingamutarisiri uye nenguva yaasingazivi. Achamubvambura-bvambura, agomuisa panzvimbo yavasingatendi.
the lord of that servant will come in a day when he thinketh not, and in an hour which he knoweth not; and shall sunder him, and set him his portion with those who are not faithful.
47 “Muranda uyo anoziva kuda kwatenzi wake uye asingagadziriri kana kuita zvinodiwa natenzi wake acharohwa shamhu zhinji.
And that servant who knew the will of his lord, and prepared not himself according to his will, shall be beaten with many
48 Asi munhu anenge asingazivi uye akaita zvinhu zvakafanira kurohwa, acharohwa shamhu shoma. Ani naani akapiwa zvizhinji, zvizhinji zvichatsvakwa kwaari; uye kuno uya akapiwa zvizhinji, zvizhinji kwazvo zvicharehwawo kubva kwaari.
But he who knew not, and did that which was worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For every one to whom much is given, much will be required from him; and to whom much is committed, the more will they require at his hand.
49 “Ndakauya kuzobatidza moto panyika, uye ndinoshuva sei kuti dai wakabatidzwa kare!
FIRE have I come to send forth upon the earth, and I would that it already burned:
50 Asi ndino rubhabhatidzo rwandichapinda marwuri, uye ndinoshungurudzwa sei kusvikira ruchiitika!
and I have a baptism (wherewith) to be baptized, and greatly am I pressed till it be completed.
51 Munofunga kuti ndakauya kuzoisa rugare panyika here? Ndinoti kwamuri kwete, asi kuzopesanisa.
Suppose you that peace I have come to send forth on the earth? I tell you, not (peace), but divisions.
52 Kubva zvino vanhu vashanu mumhuri imwe vachapesana, vatatu vachirwa navaviri uye vaviri vachirwa navatatu.
For from henceforth there will be five in one house, who (will be) divided, three against two, and two against three.
53 Vachaparadzana, baba vachirwa nomwanakomana uye mwanakomana achipesana nababa, mai vachipesana nomuroora, muroora achipesana navamwene.”
For the father will be divided against his son, and the son against his father; the mother against her daughter, and the daughter against her mother; the mother-in-law against the daughter-in-law and the daughter-in-law against the mother-in-law.
54 Akati kuvanhu vazhinji, “Pamunoona gore richikwira kumavirira, pakarepo munoti, ‘Kuchanaya,’ zvigoita saizvozvo.
And he said to the assembly, When you see a cloud arisen from the west, immediately you say, The rain cometh; and it is so:
55 Uye kana mhepo yezasi ichivhuvhuta, imi munoti, ‘Kuchapisa,’ zvoita saizvozvo.
and when bloweth the south, you say, It becomes heat; and it is so.
56 Vanyengeri! Munoziva kududzira zvamunoona zvenyika nezvedenga. Munotadza sei kududzira nguva ino?
You hypocrites, the aspect of the sky and of the earth you know to distinguish; but this Time how do you not distinguish?
57 “Munoregereiko kuzvitongera zvakarurama?
But why of yourselves judge you not the truth?
58 Paunoenda nomudzivisi wako kumutongi wedzimhosva, edza zvakanyanya kuti muyanane muchiri munzira, kuti arege kukukwekweredzera kumutongi, uye mutongi agokuisa kumupurisa, mupurisa agokuisa mujeri.
When thou art going with thine adversary to the magistrate, while in the way, negotiate, and be freed from him; lest he bring thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the exactor, and the exactor cast thee into the house of the bound;
59 Ndinoti kwauri, haungabudimo usati waripa sendi rokupedzisira.”
and Amen I tell thee, Thou wilt not be delivered from thence till thou shalt have given the last shomona.
