Ruka 19
1 Jesu akapinda muJeriko uye akanga achipfuura nomo.
He entered and was passing through Jericho [Fragrant, Moon].
2 Maiva nomurume ainzi Zakeo; akanga ari mukuru wavateresi uye akanga akapfuma kwazvo.
There was a man named Zacchaeus. 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.
He was trying to see who Yeshua [Salvation] was, and couldn’t because of the crowd, because he was short.
4 Nokudaro akamhanyira mberi akandokwira mumuti womuonde kuti amuone, sezvo Jesu akanga achienda naipapo.
He ran on ahead, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was going to pass that way.
5 Jesu akati asvika panzvimbo iyoyo, akatarisa kumusoro ndokuti kwaari, “Zakeo, buruka nokukurumidza. Ndinofanira kunogara mumba mako nhasi.”
When Yeshua [Salvation] came to the place, he looked up and saw him, and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house.”
6 Saka akakurumidza kuburuka akamugamuchira nomufaro.
He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully.
7 Vanhu vose vakaona izvi vakatanga kugununʼuna vachiti, “Aenda kunova mueni wo‘mutadzi.’”
When they saw it, they all murmured, saying, “He has gone in to lodge with a man who 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.”
Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor. If I have wrongfully exacted anything of anyone, I restore four times as much.”
9 Jesu akati kwaari, “Nhasi ruponeso rwasvika mumba muno, nokuti murume uyu mwanakomanawo waAbhurahama.
Yeshua [Salvation] said to him, “Today, yishu'ah ·salvation· has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham [Father of a multitude].
10 Nokuti Mwanakomana woMunhu akauya kuzotsvaka nokuponesa chakarasika.”
For the Son of Man came 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.
As they heard these things, he went on and told a parable, because he was near Jerusalem [City of peace], and they supposed that God’s Kingdom would be revealed immediately.
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 teshuvah ·completely return·.
13 Saka akadana varanda vake gumi akavapa zviuru gumi zvamadhora. Akati, ‘Shandisai mari iyi kusvikira ndadzoka.’
He called ten servants of his, and gave them ten mina [500 sheckles; 12.5 lb; 5.67 kg] coins, and told them, ‘Conduct business until 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 an envoy after him, saying, ‘We don’t want 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.
“When he had come back again, having received the kingdom, he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by conducting business.
16 “Wokutanga akasvika akati, ‘Ishe chiuru chenyu chamadhora chakabereka zvimwe zviuru gumi.’
The first came before him, saying, ‘Lord, your mina [50 sheckles; 1.25 lb; 0.57 kg] has made ten more minas [500 sheckles; 12.5 lb; 5.67 kg].’
17 “Tenzi wake akati, ‘Zvakanaka, muranda wangu akanaka! Nokuti wanga wakatendeka pazvinhu zviduku duku, uchatonga pamusoro pamaguta gumi.’
“He said to him, ‘Well done, you good servant! Because you were found faithful with very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.’
18 “Wechipiri akasvika akati, ‘Ishe, chiuru chenyu chamadhora chakabereka zvimwe zviuru zvishanu.’
“The second came, saying, ‘Your mina [50 sheckles; 1.25 lb; 0.57 kg], Lord, has made five minas [250 sheckles; 6.25 lb; 2.835 kg].’
19 “Tenzi wake akapindura akati, ‘Iwe uchatonga pamusoro pamaguta mashanu.’
“So he said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’
20 “Ipapo mumwe muranda akasvika akati, ‘Ishe, hechino chiuru chenyu chamadhora; ndakachichengeta ndakachisungirira mumucheka.
Another came, saying, ‘Lord, behold, your mina [50 sheckles; 1.25 lb; 0.57 kg], which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,
21 Ndakanga ndichikutyai, nokuti muri munhu ane mwoyo wakaoma. Munotora zvamusina kuisapo nokukohwa zvamusina kudyara.’
for I feared you, because you are an exacting man. You take up that which you didn’t lay down, and reap that which you didn’t 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?
“He said to him, ‘Out of your own mouth will I judge you, you wicked servant! You knew that I am an exacting man, taking up that which I didn’t lay down, and reaping that which I didn’t sow.
23 Seiko zvino usina kuisa mari yangu mubhangi, kuitira kuti pakudzoka kwangu ndizoitora yawanda?’
Then why didn’t you deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?’
24 “Ipapo akati kuna avo vakanga vamire pedyo, ‘Mutorerei chiuru chake chamadhora muchipe kuno uyo ane zviuru gumi.’
He said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina [50 sheckles; 1.25 lb; 0.57 kg] away from him, and give it to him who has the ten minas [500 sheckles; 12.5 lb; 5.67 kg].’
25 “Vakati, ‘Ishe anotova nezviuru gumi zvamadhora nechakare!’
“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 tell you that to everyone who has, will more be given; but from him who does not have, even that which he has will be taken away from him.
27 Asi vaya vavengi vangu vakanga vasingadi kuti ndive mambo wavo, uyai navo pano muvauraye pamberi pangu.’”
But bring those enemies of mine who didn’t want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.’”
28 Shure kwokunge Jesu ataura izvi, akapfuurira mberi, akakwidza kuJerusarema.
Having said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem [City of peace].
29 Akati asvika kuBhetifage neBhetania paGomo reMiorivhi, akatuma vadzidzi vake vaviri achiti,
When he came near to Bethsphage and Bethany [House of affliction], at the mountain that is called Olivet, 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 your way into the village on the other side, in which, as you enter, you will find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat. Untie it, and bring it.
31 Kana pane munhu anokubvunzai achiti, ‘Seiko muchiisunungura?’ muvaudze kuti, ‘Ishe anoida.’”
If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say to him: ‘The Lord needs it.’”
32 Vaya vakanga vatumwa mberi vakaenda vakandowana zvakaita sezvaakanga avaudza chaizvo.
Those who were sent went away, and found things just as he had told them.
33 Pavakanga vachisunungura mwana wembongoro uyu, muridzi wacho akavabvunza akati, “Seiko muchisunungura mwana wembongoro uyu?”
As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
34 Ivo vakamupindura vakati, “Ishe anoida.”
They said, “The Lord needs it.”
35 Vakauya nayo kuna Jesu, vakaisa nguo dzavo pamusoro pomwana wembongoro ndokubva vakwidza Jesu pairi.
They brought it to Yeshua [Salvation]. They threw their cloaks on the colt, and set Yeshua [Salvation] on them.
36 Paakanga achifamba, vanhu vakawaridzira nguo dzavo mumigwagwa.
As he went, they spread their cloaks on the road.
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:
As he was now getting near, 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 which they had seen,
38 “Akaropafadzwa mambo anouya muzita raShe!” “Rugare ngaruve kudenga, nokubwinya kumusoro-soro!”
saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of MarYah [Master Yahweh]! Shalom ·Complete peace· in heaven, and glory in the highest places!”
39 Vamwe vaFarisi vakanga vari pakati pavanhu vazhinji vakati kuna Jesu, “Mudzidzisi, tsiurai vadzidzi venyu!”
Some of the Pharisees [Separated] from the multitude said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”
40 Akapindura akati, “Ndinokuudzai kuti, kana vakanyarara, matombo achadanidzira.”
He answered them, “I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out.”
41 Akati aswedera kuJerusarema uye achiona guta, akachema pamusoro paro
When he came near, he saw 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 you, even you, had known today the things which belong to your shalom ·complete peace·! But now, they are hidden from your eyes.
43 Mazuva achasvika pamusoro pako ayo vavengi vako vachakuvakira muchinjiziri vagokukomberedza uye vagokumanikidza kumativi ose.
For the days will come on you, when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, surround you, hem you 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 will dash you and your children within you to the ground. They will not leave in you one stone on another, because you didn’t know the time of your visitation.”
45 Ipapo akapinda mutemberi akatanga kudzinga vaya vakanga vachitengesa.
He entered into the temple, and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it,
46 Akati kwavari, “Kwakanyorwa kuchinzi, ‘Imba yangu ichava yokunyengeterera’, asi mava kuiita ‘bako ramakororo.’”
saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house is a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of robbers’!”
47 Aidzidzisa zuva rimwe nerimwe mutemberi. Asi vaprista vakuru navadzidzisi vomurayiro uye navatungamiri pakati pavanhu vakanga vachiedza kumuuraya.
He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests and the Torah-Teachers and the leading men among the people sought to destroy him.
48 Asi vakanga vasingawani nzira yokuita izvozvo, nokuti vanhu vose vakanga vakanamatira pamashoko ake.
They couldn’t find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.
