Ruka 20
1 Nerimwe ramazuva paakanga achidzidzisa vanhu mutemberi uye achiparidza vhangeri, vaprista vakuru navadzidzisi vomurayiro, pamwe chete navakuru, vakasvika kwaari.
On one of the days while he was teaching the people in the Temple and preaching the gospel, there came up the priest and the Scribes with the elders.
2 Vakati kwaari, “Tiudzei kuti munoita zvinhu izvi nesimba ripi? Ndiani akakupai simba iri?”
They spoke to him saying. "Tell us by what authority you are doing these things? Who is it that gave you this authority?"
3 Akapindura akati, “Neniwo ndichakubvunzai mubvunzo. Ndiudzei,
"I will also ask you a question," he replied.
4 ‘Rubhabhatidzo rwaJohani rwakabva kudenga here kana kuti kuvanhu?’”
"Was John’s baptism from heaven or from man?"
5 Vakataurirana pakati pavo vakati, “Kana tikati, ‘Rwakabva kudenga,’ iye achati, ‘Seiko musina kumutenda?’
So they reasoned among themselves. "If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask us, ‘Why did you not believe in him?’
6 Asi kana tikati, ‘Rwakabva kuvanhu,’ vanhu vose vachatitaka namabwe, nokuti vanotenda kuti Johani akanga ari muprofita.”
"And if we say, ‘From man,’ all the people will stone us, for they were persuaded that Johnwas a prophet."
7 Saka ivo vakazoti, “Hatizivi kuti rwakabvepi.”
So they answered that they did not know whence it was.
8 Jesu akati, “Neniwo handichakuudzai simba randinoita naro zvinhu izvi.”
"Nor will I tell you," Jesus answered, "by whose 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.
Then he began to tell the people this parable. "There was a man who planted a vineyard, and let it out to vine-dressers, and went to another country for a long time.
10 Panguva yokukohwa, akatuma muranda kuvarimi kuti vamupe zvimwe zvezvibereko zvemizambiringa. Asi varimi vakamurova vakamuendesa asina chinhu.
"At harvest-time he sent a slave to the vine-dressers, to ask them to give him a share of the crop; but the vine-dresser beat him and sent him away empty-handed.
11 Akatumazve mumwe muranda, asi naiyewo vakamurova uye vakamuitira zvinonyadzisa ndokumudzosazve asina chinhu.
"Then he sent another slave; and him also they flogged and handled shamefully and sent him away empty-handed.
12 Akatumazve mumwe wechitatu, uyu vakamukuvadza ndokumukanda kunze.
"Then he sent yet a third, and him to they wounded and threw him out.
13 “Ipapo muridzi womunda wemizambiringa akati, ‘Ndichaita seiko? Ndichatuma mwanakomana wangu, iye wandinoda; zvimwe vachamuremekedza.’
"Then the master of the vineyard said. "‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved Son; it may be that they will reverence him.’
14 “Asi varimi vakati vachimuona, vakataurirana pachavo vakati, ‘Uyu ndiye mudyi wenhaka. Ngatimuurayei nhaka igova yedu.’
"But when the vine-dressers saw him, they reasoned together, saying. ‘This is the heir. Let us kill him so that the inheritance may be ours.’
15 Saka vakamubudisa mumunda wemizambiringa ndokubva vamuuraya. “Zvino muridzi womunda womuzambiringa achaitei kwavari?
"So they turned him out of the vineyard and killed him. "What will the master 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 destroy those vine-dressers, and will give the vineyard to others."
17 Jesu akavatarisisa uye akavabvunza akati, “Zvino zvakanyorwa zvinoreveiko zvinoti: “‘Ibwe rakarambwa navavaki ndiro razova musoro wekona’?
He looked at them and said. "Then what does this scripture mean. "The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the head of the corner?
18 Mumwe nomumwe anowira padombo iroro achavhunika-vhunika asi uyo warinowira achapwanyiwa.”
"Every one who falls on that stone will be broken in pieces; but whoever it falls upon will be scattered as dust."
19 Vadzidzisi vomurayiro navaprista vakuru vakatsvaka nzira yokumusunga pakarepo, nokuti vaiziva kuti akanga ataura mufananidzo uyu pamusoro pavo. Asi vakanga vachitya vanhu.
At this the Scribes and the high priests were seeking to arrest him; only they were afraid of the people. For they perceived that he had referred to them in this parable.
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.
So they watched him, and sent spies who pretended to be honest men, in order to seize on his speech, and to deliver him up to authority and jurisdiction 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.
So they put a question to him saying. "Rabbi, we know that you speak and teach what is right, and that you do not regard any man’s person, but teach the way of God honestly.
22 Ko, zvakanaka here kuti tiripe mutero kuna Kesari kana kuti kwete?”
"Is it lawful for us to pay tribute to Caesar or not?"
23 Akaona kunyengera kwavo akati kwavari,
But he perceived their knavery and answered.
24 “Ndiratidzei dhenari. Ko, mufananidzo norunyoro zviripo ndezvani?”
"Show me a shilling. Whose image and superscription does it bear?" "Caesar’s," they replied.
25 Vakapindura vakati, “NdezvaKesari.” Iye akati kwavari, “Ipai Kesari zvaKesari uye mugopa Mwari zvaMwari.”
"Then give to Caesar what belongs to him," he said, "to God give what is God’s."
26 Vakanga vasingagoni kumuteya nezvaakanga ataura ipapo pane vanhu. Vakashamiswa nokupindura kwake, vakanyarara.
So they could not lay hold of his sayings before the people; and marveling at his answer, they held their peace.
27 Vamwe vaSadhusi, vanoti hakuna kumuka kwavakafa, vakauya nomubvunzo kuna Jesu.
Next came some of the Sadducees who deny that there is 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.
"Teacher, Moses wrote a law for us that if a man’s brother should die, but leave no children, his brother should take up his wife and raise up his children for his brother.
29 Zvino pakanga pane vanakomana vanomwe. Wokutanga akawana mukadzi, akafa asina mwana.
"Now there were seven brothers. the first took a wife and died childless,
30 Wechipiri akamuwana uye akafa asina mwana.
"and the second and third took her,
31 Uye wechitatu akamuwana, uye nenzira imwe cheteyo, vose vari vanomwe vakafa, vachisiya pasina vana.
"and likewise all the seven, but left no children when they died.
32 Pakupedzisira, mukadzi akafawo.
"Last of all the woman died too.
33 Zvino mukadzi uyu achava waaniko pakumuka kwavakafa sezvo akanga ari mukadzi kwavari vose vari vanomwe?”
"In the resurrection whose wife shall she be? For they all seven had her as wife."
"People in this world marry and are given in marriage," said Jesus, (aiōn g165)
35 Asi vaya vanoonekwa kuti vakakodzera kurarama munyika iyo nomukumuka kwavakafa, havazowani kana kuwanikwa, (aiōn g165)
"but those who are counted worthy to reach that world and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
36 uye havazofizve; nokuti vafanana navatumwa. Vana vaMwari, sezvo vari vana vokumuka kwavakafa.
"For indeed they cannot die any more; they are equal to the angels, and through being sons of the resurrection are sons of God.
37 Asi panhoroondo yegwenzi, kunyange naMozisi akaratidza kuti vakafa vanomutswa, nokuti anoti, Ishe ndiye ‘Mwari waAbhurahama, naMwari waIsaka, uye naMwari waJakobho.’
"But that the dead are raised, even Moses clearly implied in the passage about the Bush, when he calls the Lord. "The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob.
38 Haasi Mwari wavakafa, asi wavapenyu, nokuti kwaari vose vapenyu.”
"Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living; for to him all are alive.’
39 Vamwe vadzidzisi vomurayiro vakati, “Mataura zvakanaka, mudzidzisi!”
Then some of the Scribes said, "Teacher, that was nobly said,"
40 Uye hakuna akazoda kumubvunzazve mimwe mibvunzo.
for they no longer dared to ask him any questions.
41 Ipapo Jesu akati kwavari, “Seiko vachiti Kristu Mwanakomana waDhavhidhi?
"How is it," he asked them, "that they say that Christ is David’s son?
42 Dhavhidhi pachake anotaura mubhuku raMapisarema achiti: “‘Ishe akati kuna She wangu: Gara kuruoko rwangu rworudyi
"for David himself say’s in the book of the Psalms, "The Lord said to my Lord. Sit at my right hand,
43 kusvikira ndaita vavengi vako chitsiko chetsoka dzako.’
Until I make thy enemies the footstool at thy feet.
44 Dhavhidhi anomuti, ‘Ishe.’ Anogova mwanakomana wake seiko?”
"David therefore himself calls him ‘Lord,’ and how can he be his son?"
45 Vanhu vose vachakateerera, Jesu akati kuvadzidzi vake,
Then, 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 like to walk about in long robes, and dote on salutations in the marketplaces, and on securing the front seats in the synagogues and the best places at banquets;
47 Vanoparadza dzimba dzechirikadzi uye vanoita minyengetero mirefu, kuti vaonekwe. Vanhu vakadai vacharangwa zvakaomarara kwazvo.”
"but they devour widows’ houses and for a pretense make long prayers. These shall receive severer condemnation."
