Ruka 20
1 Nerimwe ramazuva paakanga achidzidzisa vanhu mutemberi uye achiparidza vhangeri, vaprista vakuru navadzidzisi vomurayiro, pamwe chete navakuru, vakasvika kwaari.
And it came to pass, that on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes, with the ancients, met together,
2 Vakati kwaari, “Tiudzei kuti munoita zvinhu izvi nesimba ripi? Ndiani akakupai simba iri?”
And spoke to him, saying: Tell us, by what authority dost thou these things? or, Who is he that hath given thee this authority?
3 Akapindura akati, “Neniwo ndichakubvunzai mubvunzo. Ndiudzei,
And Jesus answering, said to them: I will also ask you one thing. Answer me:
4 ‘Rubhabhatidzo rwaJohani rwakabva kudenga here kana kuti kuvanhu?’”
The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
5 Vakataurirana pakati pavo vakati, “Kana tikati, ‘Rwakabva kudenga,’ iye achati, ‘Seiko musina kumutenda?’
But they thought within themselves, saying: If we shall say, From heaven: he will say: Why then did you not believe him?
6 Asi kana tikati, ‘Rwakabva kuvanhu,’ vanhu vose vachatitaka namabwe, nokuti vanotenda kuti Johani akanga ari muprofita.”
But if we say, Of men, the whole people will stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
7 Saka ivo vakazoti, “Hatizivi kuti rwakabvepi.”
And they answered, that they knew not whence it was.
8 Jesu akati, “Neniwo handichakuudzai simba randinoita naro zvinhu izvi.”
And Jesus said to them: Neither do I tell thee by what authority I do these things.
9 Akaenderera mberi akaudza vanhu mufananidzo uyu akati, Mumwe murume akadyara munda wake wemizambiringa, akaupa kuna vamwe varimi kwechinguva achibva aenda kure kune imwe nyika kwenguva refu.
And he began to speak to the people this parable: A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen: and he was abroad for a long time.
10 Panguva yokukohwa, akatuma muranda kuvarimi kuti vamupe zvimwe zvezvibereko zvemizambiringa. Asi varimi vakamurova vakamuendesa asina chinhu.
And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard. Who, beating him, sent him away empty.
11 Akatumazve mumwe muranda, asi naiyewo vakamurova uye vakamuitira zvinonyadzisa ndokumudzosazve asina chinhu.
And again he sent another servant. But they beat him also, and treating him reproachfully, sent him away empty.
12 Akatumazve mumwe wechitatu, uyu vakamukuvadza ndokumukanda kunze.
And again he sent the third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.
13 “Ipapo muridzi womunda wemizambiringa akati, ‘Ndichaita seiko? Ndichatuma mwanakomana wangu, iye wandinoda; zvimwe vachamuremekedza.’
Then the lord of the vineyard said: What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be, when they see him, they will reverence him.
14 “Asi varimi vakati vachimuona, vakataurirana pachavo vakati, ‘Uyu ndiye mudyi wenhaka. Ngatimuurayei nhaka igova yedu.’
Whom when the husbandmen saw, they thought within themselves, saying: This is the heir, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
15 Saka vakamubudisa mumunda wemizambiringa ndokubva vamuuraya. “Zvino muridzi womunda womuzambiringa achaitei kwavari?
So casting him out of the vineyard, they killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
16 Achauya agouraya varimi avo agopa vamwe varimi munda womuzambiringa.” Vanhu vakati vanzwa izvozvo, vakati, “Dai zvakadai zvikasatomboitika!”
He will come, and will destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. Which they hearing, said to him: God forbid.
17 Jesu akavatarisisa uye akavabvunza akati, “Zvino zvakanyorwa zvinoreveiko zvinoti: “‘Ibwe rakarambwa navavaki ndiro razova musoro wekona’?
But he looking on them, said: What is this then that is written, The stone, which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?
18 Mumwe nomumwe anowira padombo iroro achavhunika-vhunika asi uyo warinowira achapwanyiwa.”
Whosoever shall fall upon that stone, shall be bruised: and upon whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
19 Vadzidzisi vomurayiro navaprista vakuru vakatsvaka nzira yokumusunga pakarepo, nokuti vaiziva kuti akanga ataura mufananidzo uyu pamusoro pavo. Asi vakanga vachitya vanhu.
And the chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him the same hour: but they feared the people, for they knew that he spoke this parable to them.
20 Vakaramba vachimucherechedza, vakatuma vasori, vakanga vachinyepedzera kuva vakatendeka. Vakanga vane tariro yokuti vamubate iye Jesu pachinhu chaanenge ataura kuitira kuti vagomuisa kusimba noutongi hwomubati.
And being upon the watch, they sent spies, who should feign themselves just, that they might take hold of him in his words, that they might deliver him up to the authority and power of the governor.
21 Saka vasori vakamubvunza vachiti, “Mudzidzisi, tinoziva kuti munotaura uye munodzidzisa zvakarurama, uye kuti hamusi mutsauri wavanhu asi munodzidzisa nzira yaMwari zviri maererano nezvokwadi.
And they asked him, saying: Master, we know that thou speakest and teachest rightly: and thou dost not respect any person, but teachest the way of God in truth.
22 Ko, zvakanaka here kuti tiripe mutero kuna Kesari kana kuti kwete?”
Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or no?
23 Akaona kunyengera kwavo akati kwavari,
But he considering their guile, said to them: Why tempt you me?
24 “Ndiratidzei dhenari. Ko, mufananidzo norunyoro zviripo ndezvani?”
Shew me a penny. Whose image and inscription hath it? They answering, said to him, Caesar’s.
25 Vakapindura vakati, “NdezvaKesari.” Iye akati kwavari, “Ipai Kesari zvaKesari uye mugopa Mwari zvaMwari.”
And he said to them: Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s: and to God the things that are God’s.
26 Vakanga vasingagoni kumuteya nezvaakanga ataura ipapo pane vanhu. Vakashamiswa nokupindura kwake, vakanyarara.
And they could not reprehend his word before the people: and wondering at his answer, they held their peace.
27 Vamwe vaSadhusi, vanoti hakuna kumuka kwavakafa, vakauya nomubvunzo kuna Jesu.
And there came to him some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is any resurrection, and they asked him,
28 Vakati, “Mudzidzisi, Mozisi akatinyorera kuti kana mukoma womunhu akafa akasiya mukadzi asina vana, murume anofanira kuwana chirikadzi iyo amutsire mukoma wake vana.
Saying: Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man’s brother die, having a wife, and he leave no children, that his brother should take her to wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
29 Zvino pakanga pane vanakomana vanomwe. Wokutanga akawana mukadzi, akafa asina mwana.
There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.
30 Wechipiri akamuwana uye akafa asina mwana.
And the next took her to wife, and he also died childless.
31 Uye wechitatu akamuwana, uye nenzira imwe cheteyo, vose vari vanomwe vakafa, vachisiya pasina vana.
And the third took her. And in like manner all the seven, and they left no children, and died.
32 Pakupedzisira, mukadzi akafawo.
Last of all the woman died also.
33 Zvino mukadzi uyu achava waaniko pakumuka kwavakafa sezvo akanga ari mukadzi kwavari vose vari vanomwe?”
In the resurrection therefore, whose wife of them shall she be? For all the seven had her to wife.
And Jesus said to them: The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: (aiōn g165)
35 Asi vaya vanoonekwa kuti vakakodzera kurarama munyika iyo nomukumuka kwavakafa, havazowani kana kuwanikwa, (aiōn g165)
But they that shall be accounted worthy of that world, and of the resurrection from the dead, shall neither be married, nor take wives. (aiōn g165)
36 uye havazofizve; nokuti vafanana navatumwa. Vana vaMwari, sezvo vari vana vokumuka kwavakafa.
Neither can they die any more: for they are equal to the angels, and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
37 Asi panhoroondo yegwenzi, kunyange naMozisi akaratidza kuti vakafa vanomutswa, nokuti anoti, Ishe ndiye ‘Mwari waAbhurahama, naMwari waIsaka, uye naMwari waJakobho.’
Now that the dead rise again, Moses also shewed, at the bush, when he called the Lord, The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob;
38 Haasi Mwari wavakafa, asi wavapenyu, nokuti kwaari vose vapenyu.”
For he is not the God of the dead, but of the living: for all live to him.
39 Vamwe vadzidzisi vomurayiro vakati, “Mataura zvakanaka, mudzidzisi!”
And some of the scribes answering, said to him: Master, thou hast said well.
40 Uye hakuna akazoda kumubvunzazve mimwe mibvunzo.
And after that they durst not ask him any more questions.
41 Ipapo Jesu akati kwavari, “Seiko vachiti Kristu Mwanakomana waDhavhidhi?
But he said to them: How say they that Christ is the son of David?
42 Dhavhidhi pachake anotaura mubhuku raMapisarema achiti: “‘Ishe akati kuna She wangu: Gara kuruoko rwangu rworudyi
And David himself saith in the book of Psalms: The Lord said to my Lord, sit thou on my right hand,
43 kusvikira ndaita vavengi vako chitsiko chetsoka dzako.’
Till I make thy enemies thy footstool.
44 Dhavhidhi anomuti, ‘Ishe.’ Anogova mwanakomana wake seiko?”
David then calleth him Lord: and how is he his son?
45 Vanhu vose vachakateerera, Jesu akati kuvadzidzi vake,
And in the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples:
46 “Chenjererai vadzidzisi vomurayiro. Vanoda kufamba-famba vakapfeka nguo refu, uye vachifarira kukwaziswa pamisika, nokuva nezvigaro zvapamusoro-soro mumasinagoge uye nenzvimbo dzinokudzwa pamabiko.
Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and love salutations in the marketplace, and the first chairs in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts:
47 Vanoparadza dzimba dzechirikadzi uye vanoita minyengetero mirefu, kuti vaonekwe. Vanhu vakadai vacharangwa zvakaomarara kwazvo.”
Who devour the houses of widows, feigning long prayer. These shall receive greater damnation.
