Ruka 19
1 Jesu akapinda muJeriko uye akanga achipfuura nomo.
And [Jesus] entered and passed through Jericho.
2 Maiva nomurume ainzi Zakeo; akanga ari mukuru wavateresi uye akanga akapfuma kwazvo.
And, behold, [there was] a man named Zacchæus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
3 Akauya achida kuona Jesu kuti ndiani, asi nokuda kwokuti akanga ari munhu mupfupi, akatadza kuona nokuda kwavanhu vazhinji.
And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.
4 Nokudaro akamhanyira mberi akandokwira mumuti womuonde kuti amuone, sezvo Jesu akanga achienda naipapo.
And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that [way].
5 Jesu akati asvika panzvimbo iyoyo, akatarisa kumusoro ndokuti kwaari, “Zakeo, buruka nokukurumidza. Ndinofanira kunogara mumba mako nhasi.”
And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchæus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.
6 Saka akakurumidza kuburuka akamugamuchira nomufaro.
And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
7 Vanhu vose vakaona izvi vakatanga kugununʼuna vachiti, “Aenda kunova mueni wo‘mutadzi.’”
And when they saw [it], they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
8 Asi Zakeo akasimuka akamira pamberi paShe akati, “Tarirai, Ishe! Pano, uye iye zvino, ndinopa hafu yepfuma yangu kuvarombo, uye kana ndakanyengera ani zvake pachinhu chipi zvacho, ndichadzosera zvava zvina.”
And Zacchæus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore [him] fourfold.
9 Jesu akati kwaari, “Nhasi ruponeso rwasvika mumba muno, nokuti murume uyu mwanakomanawo waAbhurahama.
And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
10 Nokuti Mwanakomana woMunhu akauya kuzotsvaka nokuponesa chakarasika.”
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
11 Pavakanga vachiri kuteerera izvozvo, akaenderera mberi achivaudza mufananidzo, nokuti akanga ava pedyo neJerusarema uye vanhu vakafunga kuti umambo hwaMwari hwaizokurumidza kuonekwa pakarepo.
And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
12 Akati, “Mumwe murume weimba huru, akaenda kunyika iri kure kuti andogadzwa kuti ave mambo uye agodzoka.
He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13 Saka akadana varanda vake gumi akavapa zviuru gumi zvamadhora. Akati, ‘Shandisai mari iyi kusvikira ndadzoka.’
And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
14 “Asi varanda vake vaimuvenga vakatuma nhume dzikamutevera kuti dzinoti, ‘Munhu uyu hatidi kuti ave mambo wedu.’
But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this [man] to reign over us.
15 “Akandogadzwa kuti ave mambo, kunyange zvakadaro, akadzoka kumusha. Ipapo akatuma shoko kuvaranda vaakanga apa mari, achida kuziva zvavakanga vawana nayo.
And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
16 “Wokutanga akasvika akati, ‘Ishe chiuru chenyu chamadhora chakabereka zvimwe zviuru gumi.’
Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
17 “Tenzi wake akati, ‘Zvakanaka, muranda wangu akanaka! Nokuti wanga wakatendeka pazvinhu zviduku duku, uchatonga pamusoro pamaguta gumi.’
And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
18 “Wechipiri akasvika akati, ‘Ishe, chiuru chenyu chamadhora chakabereka zvimwe zviuru zvishanu.’
And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
19 “Tenzi wake akapindura akati, ‘Iwe uchatonga pamusoro pamaguta mashanu.’
And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
20 “Ipapo mumwe muranda akasvika akati, ‘Ishe, hechino chiuru chenyu chamadhora; ndakachichengeta ndakachisungirira mumucheka.
And another came, saying, Lord, behold, [here is] thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
21 Ndakanga ndichikutyai, nokuti muri munhu ane mwoyo wakaoma. Munotora zvamusina kuisapo nokukohwa zvamusina kudyara.’
For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.
22 “Tenzi wake akapindura akati, ‘Ndichakutonga namashoko ako pachako, iwe muranda akaipa! Waiziva kuti ndiri munhu ane mwoyo wakaoma, ndinotora zvandisina kuisapo, nokukohwa zvandisina kudyara?
And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, [thou] wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:
23 Seiko zvino usina kuisa mari yangu mubhangi, kuitira kuti pakudzoka kwangu ndizoitora yawanda?’
Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?
24 “Ipapo akati kuna avo vakanga vamire pedyo, ‘Mutorerei chiuru chake chamadhora muchipe kuno uyo ane zviuru gumi.’
And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give [it] to him that hath ten pounds.
25 “Vakati, ‘Ishe anotova nezviuru gumi zvamadhora nechakare!’
(And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
26 “Iye akapindura akati, ‘Ndinoti kwamuri, mumwe nomumwe anazvo, achapiwa zvimwe, asi uyo asina, achatorerwa kunyange nechaanacho.
For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.
27 Asi vaya vavengi vangu vakanga vasingadi kuti ndive mambo wavo, uyai navo pano muvauraye pamberi pangu.’”
But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay [them] before me.
28 Shure kwokunge Jesu ataura izvi, akapfuurira mberi, akakwidza kuJerusarema.
And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.
29 Akati asvika kuBhetifage neBhetania paGomo reMiorivhi, akatuma vadzidzi vake vaviri achiti,
And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called [the mount] of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
30 “Endai kumusha wakatarisana nemi, uye pamunongopindamo, muchawana mwana wembongoro asina kumbotasvwa nomunhu akasungirirwamo. Muisunungure mugouya nayo pano.
Saying, Go ye into the village over against [you]; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring [him hither].
31 Kana pane munhu anokubvunzai achiti, ‘Seiko muchiisunungura?’ muvaudze kuti, ‘Ishe anoida.’”
And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose [him]? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.
32 Vaya vakanga vatumwa mberi vakaenda vakandowana zvakaita sezvaakanga avaudza chaizvo.
And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.
33 Pavakanga vachisunungura mwana wembongoro uyu, muridzi wacho akavabvunza akati, “Seiko muchisunungura mwana wembongoro uyu?”
And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?
34 Ivo vakamupindura vakati, “Ishe anoida.”
And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
35 Vakauya nayo kuna Jesu, vakaisa nguo dzavo pamusoro pomwana wembongoro ndokubva vakwidza Jesu pairi.
And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.
36 Paakanga achifamba, vanhu vakawaridzira nguo dzavo mumigwagwa.
And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
37 Akati asvika pedyo nenzvimbo ine nzira yaitenukira paGomo reMiorivhi, vazhinji vose vavadzidzi vakatanga kupembera vachirumbidza Mwari namanzwi makuru nokuda kwezviratidzo zvose zvavakanga vaona, vachiti:
And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;
38 “Akaropafadzwa mambo anouya muzita raShe!” “Rugare ngaruve kudenga, nokubwinya kumusoro-soro!”
Saying, Blessed [be] the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
39 Vamwe vaFarisi vakanga vari pakati pavanhu vazhinji vakati kuna Jesu, “Mudzidzisi, tsiurai vadzidzi venyu!”
And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
40 Akapindura akati, “Ndinokuudzai kuti, kana vakanyarara, matombo achadanidzira.”
And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
41 Akati aswedera kuJerusarema uye achiona guta, akachema pamusoro paro
And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
42 akati, “Dai iwe, kunyange iyewe, waiziva chete pazuva rino zvinhu zvaizokupa rugare, asi zvino zvakavanzwa pameso ako.
Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things [which belong] unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.
43 Mazuva achasvika pamusoro pako ayo vavengi vako vachakuvakira muchinjiziri vagokukomberedza uye vagokumanikidza kumativi ose.
For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,
44 Vachakupwanyira pasi, iwe navana vari mukati mamasvingo ako. Havazongosiyi ibwe pamusoro perimwe nokuti hauna kuziva nguva yokushanyirwa kwako naMwari.”
And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
45 Ipapo akapinda mutemberi akatanga kudzinga vaya vakanga vachitengesa.
And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;
46 Akati kwavari, “Kwakanyorwa kuchinzi, ‘Imba yangu ichava yokunyengeterera’, asi mava kuiita ‘bako ramakororo.’”
Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.
47 Aidzidzisa zuva rimwe nerimwe mutemberi. Asi vaprista vakuru navadzidzisi vomurayiro uye navatungamiri pakati pavanhu vakanga vachiedza kumuuraya.
And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,
48 Asi vakanga vasingawani nzira yokuita izvozvo, nokuti vanhu vose vakanga vakanamatira pamashoko ake.
And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
