< Ruka 21 >
1 Akati achitarira, Jesu akaona vapfumi vachiisa zvipo zvavo muchivigiro chepfuma chomutemberi.
AND he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.
2 Akaonawo chirikadzi murombo ichiisa tumari tuviri tuduku twendarira.
And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.
3 Akati kwavari, “Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri, chirikadzi iyi murombo yaisa mari zhinji kupfuura vamwe vose.
And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:
4 Vanhu vose ava vapa zvipo zvavo zvichibva papfuma yavo zhinji; asi uyu, nourombo hwake aisa zvose zvaanga achararama nazvo.”
For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.
5 Vamwe vadzidzi vake vakanga vachitaura pamusoro pamashongedzerwo akanga akaitwa temberi namatombo akanaka uye nezvipo zvakanga zvakumikidzwa kuna Mwari. Asi Jesu akati,
And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said,
6 “Zvamuoona pano izvi, nguva ichasvika yokuti ibwe rimwe haringaregwi riri pamusoro perimwe; rimwe nerimwe rawo richakandwa pasi.”
As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
7 Vakamubvunza vakati, “Mudzidzisi, zvinhu izvi zvichaitika rinhiko? Uye chiratidzo chichava chipi chokuti izvozvo zvava kuzoitika?”
And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?
8 Akapindura akati, “Chenjererai kuti murege kunyengerwa. Nokuti vazhinji vachauya muzita rangu, vachiti ivo, ‘Ndini iye,’ uye ‘Nguva yava pedyo.’ Musavatevera.
And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.
9 Kana mukanzwa zvehondo uye nokumukirana, musavhundutswa. Zvinhu izvozvi zvinofanira kutanga kuitika, asi kuguma hakuzosviki pakarepo.”
But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.
10 Ipapo akati kwavari, “Rudzi ruchamukira rudzi, uye umambo huchamukira humwe umambo.
Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
11 Kuchava nokudengenyeka kwenyika kukuru, nzara nehosha kunzvimbo dzakasiyana-siyana, uye zvinhu zvinotyisa nezviratidzo zvikuru zvinobva kudenga.
And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
12 “Asi izvi zvose zvisati zvaitika, vachakubatai vagokutambudzai. Vachakuisai kumasinagoge nokumatorongo uye muchamiswa pamberi pamadzimambo navabati, uye zvose nokuda kwezita rangu.
But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name’s sake.
13 Izvi zvichaita kuti imi muve zvapupu kwavari.
And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
14 Asi shingai mundangariro dzenyu, musatanga kufunganya kuti muchazvidzivirira sei.
Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:
15 Nokuti ndichakupai mashoko nouchenjeri zvokuti hakuna munhu pavavengi venyu achagona kuzviramba kana kuzvipikisa.
For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
16 Muchapandukirwa kunyange navabereki venyu, vanunʼuna, hama neshamwari, uye vachauraya vamwe venyu.
And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.
17 Vanhu vose vachakuvengai nokuda kwangu.
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake.
18 Asi hapana bvudzi romusoro wenyu richaparara.
But there shall not an hair of your head perish.
19 Nokutsungirira kwenyu, muchawana upenyu.
In your patience possess ye your souls.
20 “Pamunoona Jerusarema rakombwa nehondo, muchaziva kuti kuparadzwa kwaro kwava pedyo.
And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
21 Ipapo vaya vari muJudhea ngavatizire kumakomo, vari muguta ngavabude, uye vari muruwa ngavarege kupinda muguta.
Then let them which are in Judæa flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
22 Nokuti iyi ndiyo nguva yokurangwa kuti zvose zvakanyorwa zvizadziswe.
For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23 Haiwa, zvichatyisa seiko mumazuva iwayo kumadzimai ane mimba navanoyamwisa! Kuchava nenhamo huru munyika nokutsamwa pamusoro porudzi urwu.
But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
24 Vachaurayiwa nomunondo uye vachaitwa vasungwa kundudzi dzose. Jerusarema richatsikwa neveDzimwe Ndudzi kusvikira nguva dzeveDzimwe Ndudzi dzazadziswa.
And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
25 “Kuchava nezviratidzo pazuva, pamwedzi napanyeredzi. Panyika, ndudzi dzichatambudzika uye dzichakanganiswa nokutinhira uye namasaisai egungwa.
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26 Vanhu vachapera simba nokutya, nokutarisira zvichawira nyika, nokuti masimba okumatenga achazungunuswa.
Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27 Panguva iyo vachaona Mwanakomana woMunhu achiuya mugore nesimba nokubwinya kukuru.
And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 Panotanga kuitika zvinhu izvi, mumire mugosimudza misoro yenyu, nokuti dzikinuro yenyu yoswedera.”
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
29 Akavaudza mufananidzo uyu akati, “Tarirai muti womuonde nemiti yose.
And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;
30 Painenge ichitungira mashizha, munogona kuona pachenyu nokuziva kuti zhizha rava pedyo.
When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.
31 Nokudarowo, pamunoona zvinhu izvi zvichiitika, muzive kuti umambo hwaMwari hwava pedyo.
So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
32 “Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri, rudzi urwu harungatongopfuuri kusvikira zvinhu izvi zvaitika.
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
33 Denga nenyika zvichapfuura, asi mashoko angu haangatongopfuuri.
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
34 “Chenjerai, kuti mwoyo yenyu irege kuremedzwa nokudyisa, kudhakwa nokufunganya kwoupenyu, kuti zuva iro rirege kukuwirai seriva musina kuzvitarisira.
And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
35 Nokuti richasvika pamusoro pavose vagere pamusoro penyika yose.
For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36 Garai makagadzirira, uye munyengetere kuti mugogona kupunyuka pazvose izvo zvava kuda kuitika, uye kuti mugogona kumira pamberi poMwanakomana woMunhu.”
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
37 Zuva rimwe nerimwe Jesu aidzidzisa patemberi, uye madekwana oga oga achindopedza usiku hwose ari muGomo reMiorivhi,
And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives.
38 uye vanhu vose vaiuya patemberi mangwanani-ngwanani kuti vazomunzwa.
And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him.
