Ruka 19
1 Jesu akapinda muJeriko uye akanga achipfuura nomo.
And having entered, He was passing through Jericho,
2 Maiva nomurume ainzi Zakeo; akanga ari mukuru wavateresi uye akanga akapfuma kwazvo.
and behold, a man, by name called Zaccheus, and he was a chief tax collector, 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 was seeking to see Jesus, who He is, and was not able for the multitude, because he was small in stature,
4 Nokudaro akamhanyira mberi akandokwira mumuti womuonde kuti amuone, sezvo Jesu akanga achienda naipapo.
and having run forward before, he went up on a sycamore, that he may see Him, because through that [way] He was about to pass by.
5 Jesu akati asvika panzvimbo iyoyo, akatarisa kumusoro ndokuti kwaari, “Zakeo, buruka nokukurumidza. Ndinofanira kunogara mumba mako nhasi.”
And as Jesus came up to the place, having looked up, He saw him and said to him, “Zaccheus, having hurried, come down, for it is necessary for Me to remain in your house today”;
6 Saka akakurumidza kuburuka akamugamuchira nomufaro.
and he having hurried came down, and received Him rejoicing;
7 Vanhu vose vakaona izvi vakatanga kugununʼuna vachiti, “Aenda kunova mueni wo‘mutadzi.’”
and having seen [it], they were all murmuring, saying, “He went in to lodge with a sinful man!”
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 Zaccheus having stood, said to the LORD, “Behold, half of my goods, Lord, I give to the poor, and if I took by false accusation anything of anyone, I give back fourfold.”
9 Jesu akati kwaari, “Nhasi ruponeso rwasvika mumba muno, nokuti murume uyu mwanakomanawo waAbhurahama.
And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation came to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham;
10 Nokuti Mwanakomana woMunhu akauya kuzotsvaka nokuponesa chakarasika.”
for the Son of Man came to seek and to save the 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 while they are hearing these things, having added He spoke an allegory, because of His being near to Jerusalem, and of their thinking that the Kingdom of God is immediately about to appear.
12 Akati, “Mumwe murume weimba huru, akaenda kunyika iri kure kuti andogadzwa kuti ave mambo uye agodzoka.
He therefore said, “A certain man of birth went on to a far country, to take to himself a kingdom, and to return,
13 Saka akadana varanda vake gumi akavapa zviuru gumi zvamadhora. Akati, ‘Shandisai mari iyi kusvikira ndadzoka.’
and having called ten servants of his own, he gave ten minas to them and said to them, Do business—until I come;
14 “Asi varanda vake vaimuvenga vakatuma nhume dzikamutevera kuti dzinoti, ‘Munhu uyu hatidi kuti ave mambo wedu.’
and his citizens were hating him, and sent a delegation after him, saying, We do not wish this one 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, on his coming back, having taken the kingdom, that he commanded these servants to be called to him, to whom he gave the money, that he might know what anyone had done in business.
16 “Wokutanga akasvika akati, ‘Ishe chiuru chenyu chamadhora chakabereka zvimwe zviuru gumi.’
And the first came near, saying, Lord, your mina gained ten minas;
17 “Tenzi wake akati, ‘Zvakanaka, muranda wangu akanaka! Nokuti wanga wakatendeka pazvinhu zviduku duku, uchatonga pamusoro pamaguta gumi.’
and he said to him, Well done, good servant, because you became faithful in a very little, be having authority over ten cities.
18 “Wechipiri akasvika akati, ‘Ishe, chiuru chenyu chamadhora chakabereka zvimwe zviuru zvishanu.’
And the second came, saying, Lord, your mina made five minas;
19 “Tenzi wake akapindura akati, ‘Iwe uchatonga pamusoro pamaguta mashanu.’
and he also said to this one, And you, become [ruler] over five cities.
20 “Ipapo mumwe muranda akasvika akati, ‘Ishe, hechino chiuru chenyu chamadhora; ndakachichengeta ndakachisungirira mumucheka.
And another came, saying, Lord, behold, your mina, that I had lying away in a napkin;
21 Ndakanga ndichikutyai, nokuti muri munhu ane mwoyo wakaoma. Munotora zvamusina kuisapo nokukohwa zvamusina kudyara.’
for I was afraid of you, because you are an austere man; you take up what you did not lay down, and reap what you did 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 says to him, Out of your mouth I will judge you, evil servant: you knew that I am an austere man, taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow!
23 Seiko zvino usina kuisa mari yangu mubhangi, kuitira kuti pakudzoka kwangu ndizoitora yawanda?’
And why did you not give my money to the bank, and I, having come, might have received it with interest?
24 “Ipapo akati kuna avo vakanga vamire pedyo, ‘Mutorerei chiuru chake chamadhora muchipe kuno uyo ane zviuru gumi.’
And to those standing by he said, Take the mina from him, and give to him having the ten minas—
25 “Vakati, ‘Ishe anotova nezviuru gumi zvamadhora nechakare!’
(and they said to him, Lord, he has ten minas)—
26 “Iye akapindura akati, ‘Ndinoti kwamuri, mumwe nomumwe anazvo, achapiwa zvimwe, asi uyo asina, achatorerwa kunyange nechaanacho.
for I say to you that to everyone having will be given, and from him not having, also what he has will be taken from him,
27 Asi vaya vavengi vangu vakanga vasingadi kuti ndive mambo wavo, uyai navo pano muvauraye pamberi pangu.’”
but those my enemies, who did not wish me to reign over them, bring here and slay before me.”
28 Shure kwokunge Jesu ataura izvi, akapfuurira mberi, akakwidza kuJerusarema.
And having said these things, He went on before, going up to Jerusalem.
29 Akati asvika kuBhetifage neBhetania paGomo reMiorivhi, akatuma vadzidzi vake vaviri achiti,
And it came to pass, as He came near to Bethphage and Bethany, to that 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.
having said, “Go away into the village in front of [you], in which, entering in, you will find a colt bound, on which no one of men ever sat, having loosed it, bring [it];
31 Kana pane munhu anokubvunzai achiti, ‘Seiko muchiisunungura?’ muvaudze kuti, ‘Ishe anoida.’”
and if anyone questions you, Why do you loose [it]? Thus you will say to him: The LORD has need of it.”
32 Vaya vakanga vatumwa mberi vakaenda vakandowana zvakaita sezvaakanga avaudza chaizvo.
And those sent, having gone away, found according as He said to them,
33 Pavakanga vachisunungura mwana wembongoro uyu, muridzi wacho akavabvunza akati, “Seiko muchisunungura mwana wembongoro uyu?”
and while they are loosing the colt, its owners said to them, “Why do you loose the colt?”
34 Ivo vakamupindura vakati, “Ishe anoida.”
And they said, “The LORD has need of it”;
35 Vakauya nayo kuna Jesu, vakaisa nguo dzavo pamusoro pomwana wembongoro ndokubva vakwidza Jesu pairi.
and they brought it to Jesus, and having cast their garments on the colt, they sat Jesus on it.
36 Paakanga achifamba, vanhu vakawaridzira nguo dzavo mumigwagwa.
And as He is going, they were spreading their garments 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 as He is coming near now, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began rejoicing to praise God with a great voice for all the mighty works they had seen,
38 “Akaropafadzwa mambo anouya muzita raShe!” “Rugare ngaruve kudenga, nokubwinya kumusoro-soro!”
saying, “Blessed [is] the King coming 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 certain of the Pharisees from the multitude said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples”;
40 Akapindura akati, “Ndinokuudzai kuti, kana vakanyarara, matombo achadanidzira.”
and He answering said to them, “I say to you that if these will be silent, the stones will cry out!”
41 Akati aswedera kuJerusarema uye achiona guta, akachema pamusoro paro
And when He came near, having seen the city, He wept over it,
42 akati, “Dai iwe, kunyange iyewe, waiziva chete pazuva rino zvinhu zvaizokupa rugare, asi zvino zvakavanzwa pameso ako.
saying, “If you knew, even you, at least in this your day, the things for your peace; but now they were hid from your eyes.
43 Mazuva achasvika pamusoro pako ayo vavengi vako vachakuvakira muchinjiziri vagokukomberedza uye vagokumanikidza kumativi ose.
Because days will come on you, and your enemies will cast a rampart around you, and surround you around, and press you on every side,
44 Vachakupwanyira pasi, iwe navana vari mukati mamasvingo ako. Havazongosiyi ibwe pamusoro perimwe nokuti hauna kuziva nguva yokushanyirwa kwako naMwari.”
and lay you low, and your children within you, and they will not leave in you a stone on a stone, because you did not know the time of your inspection.”
45 Ipapo akapinda mutemberi akatanga kudzinga vaya vakanga vachitengesa.
And having entered into the temple, He began to cast forth those selling in it, and those buying,
46 Akati kwavari, “Kwakanyorwa kuchinzi, ‘Imba yangu ichava yokunyengeterera’, asi mava kuiita ‘bako ramakororo.’”
saying to them, “It has been written, My house is a house of prayer—but you made it a den of robbers.”
47 Aidzidzisa zuva rimwe nerimwe mutemberi. Asi vaprista vakuru navadzidzisi vomurayiro uye navatungamiri pakati pavanhu vakanga vachiedza kumuuraya.
And He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests and the scribes were seeking to destroy Him—also the chiefs of the people—
48 Asi vakanga vasingawani nzira yokuita izvozvo, nokuti vanhu vose vakanga vakanamatira pamashoko ake.
and they were not finding what they will do, for all the people were hanging on Him, hearing Him.
