Ruka 21
1 Akati achitarira, Jesu akaona vapfumi vachiisa zvipo zvavo muchivigiro chepfuma chomutemberi.
Looking up, Jesus saw the rich people putting their gifts into the chests for the Temple offerings.
2 Akaonawo chirikadzi murombo ichiisa tumari tuviri tuduku twendarira.
He saw, too, a widow in poor circumstances putting two small coins into them.
3 Akati kwavari, “Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri, chirikadzi iyi murombo yaisa mari zhinji kupfuura vamwe vose.
“I tell you”, he said “that this poor widow has put in more than all the others;
4 Vanhu vose ava vapa zvipo zvavo zvichibva papfuma yavo zhinji; asi uyu, nourombo hwake aisa zvose zvaanga achararama nazvo.”
for everyone else here put in something from what he had to spare, while she, in her need, has put in all she had to live on.”
5 Vamwe vadzidzi vake vakanga vachitaura pamusoro pamashongedzerwo akanga akaitwa temberi namatombo akanaka uye nezvipo zvakanga zvakumikidzwa kuna Mwari. Asi Jesu akati,
When some of them spoke about the Temple being decorated with beautiful stones and offerings, Jesus said,
6 “Zvamuoona pano izvi, nguva ichasvika yokuti ibwe rimwe haringaregwi riri pamusoro perimwe; rimwe nerimwe rawo richakandwa pasi.”
“As for these things that you are looking at, a time is coming when not one stone will be left on another here. Every one will be thrown down.”
7 Vakamubvunza vakati, “Mudzidzisi, zvinhu izvi zvichaitika rinhiko? Uye chiratidzo chichava chipi chokuti izvozvo zvava kuzoitika?”
So the disciples questioned Jesus, “But, teacher, when will this happen? And what sign will there be when this is near?”
8 Akapindura akati, “Chenjererai kuti murege kunyengerwa. Nokuti vazhinji vachauya muzita rangu, vachiti ivo, ‘Ndini iye,’ uye ‘Nguva yava pedyo.’ Musavatevera.
And Jesus said, “See that you are not led astray; for many will take my name, and come saying ‘I am He,’ and ‘The time is close at hand.’ Do not follow them.
9 Kana mukanzwa zvehondo uye nokumukirana, musavhundutswa. Zvinhu izvozvi zvinofanira kutanga kuitika, asi kuguma hakuzosviki pakarepo.”
And, when you hear of wars and disturbances, do not be terrified, for these things must occur first; but the end will not be at once.”
10 Ipapo akati kwavari, “Rudzi ruchamukira rudzi, uye umambo huchamukira humwe umambo.
Then he said to them, “Nation will 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 there will be great earthquakes, and plagues and famines in various places, and there will be terrible appearances and signs in the heavens.
12 “Asi izvi zvose zvisati zvaitika, vachakubatai vagokutambudzai. Vachakuisai kumasinagoge nokumatorongo uye muchamiswa pamberi pamadzimambo navabati, uye zvose nokuda kwezita rangu.
Before all this, they will lay hands on you and persecute you, and they will betray you to synagogues and put you in prison, when you will be brought before kings and governors for the sake of my name.
13 Izvi zvichaita kuti imi muve zvapupu kwavari.
Then will be your opportunity of witnessing for me.
14 Asi shingai mundangariro dzenyu, musatanga kufunganya kuti muchazvidzivirira sei.
Make up your minds, therefore, not to prepare your defense;
15 Nokuti ndichakupai mashoko nouchenjeri zvokuti hakuna munhu pavavengi venyu achagona kuzviramba kana kuzvipikisa.
for I will myself give you words, and a wisdom which all your opponents together will be unable to resist or defy.
16 Muchapandukirwa kunyange navabereki venyu, vanunʼuna, hama neshamwari, uye vachauraya vamwe venyu.
You will be betrayed even by your parents and brothers and sisters and relatives and friends, and they will cause some of you to be put to death,
17 Vanhu vose vachakuvengai nokuda kwangu.
and you will be hated by everyone because of me my name.
18 Asi hapana bvudzi romusoro wenyu richaparara.
Yet not a single hair of your heads will be lost!
19 Nokutsungirira kwenyu, muchawana upenyu.
By your endurance you will win yourselves life.
20 “Pamunoona Jerusarema rakombwa nehondo, muchaziva kuti kuparadzwa kwaro kwava pedyo.
As soon, however, as you see Jerusalem surrounded by armed camps, then you may know that the hour of her desecration is at hand.
21 Ipapo vaya vari muJudhea ngavatizire kumakomo, vari muguta ngavabude, uye vari muruwa ngavarege kupinda muguta.
Then those of you who are in Judea must take refuge in the mountains, those who are in Jerusalem must leave at once, and those who are in the country places must not go into it.
22 Nokuti iyi ndiyo nguva yokurangwa kuti zvose zvakanyorwa zvizadziswe.
For these are to be the days of vengeance, when all that scripture says will be fulfilled.
23 Haiwa, zvichatyisa seiko mumazuva iwayo kumadzimai ane mimba navanoyamwisa! Kuchava nenhamo huru munyika nokutsamwa pamusoro porudzi urwu.
Alas for pregnant women, and for those who are nursing infants in those days! For there will be great suffering in the land, and anger against this people.
24 Vachaurayiwa nomunondo uye vachaitwa vasungwa kundudzi dzose. Jerusarema richatsikwa neveDzimwe Ndudzi kusvikira nguva dzeveDzimwe Ndudzi dzazadziswa.
They will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be taken prisoners to every land, and Jerusalem will be under the heel of the Gentiles, until their day is over – as it will be.
25 “Kuchava nezviratidzo pazuva, pamwedzi napanyeredzi. Panyika, ndudzi dzichatambudzika uye dzichakanganiswa nokutinhira uye namasaisai egungwa.
There will be signs, too, in the sun and moon and stars, and on the earth despair among the nations, in their dismay at the roar of the sea and the surge.
26 Vanhu vachapera simba nokutya, nokutarisira zvichawira nyika, nokuti masimba okumatenga achazungunuswa.
People’s hearts will fail them through dread of what is coming upon the world; for the forces of the heavens will be convulsed.
27 Panguva iyo vachaona Mwanakomana woMunhu achiuya mugore nesimba nokubwinya kukuru.
Then will be seen 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 occur, look upwards and lift your heads, for your deliverance will be at hand.”
29 Akavaudza mufananidzo uyu akati, “Tarirai muti womuonde nemiti yose.
Then he taught them a lesson, saying – “Look at the fig tree and all the other trees.
30 Painenge ichitungira mashizha, munogona kuona pachenyu nokuziva kuti zhizha rava pedyo.
As soon as they shoot, you know, as you look at them, without being told, that summer is near.
31 Nokudarowo, pamunoona zvinhu izvi zvichiitika, muzive kuti umambo hwaMwari hwava pedyo.
And so may you, as soon as you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near.
32 “Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri, rudzi urwu harungatongopfuuri kusvikira zvinhu izvi zvaitika.
I tell you that even the present generation will not pass away until all has taken place.
33 Denga nenyika zvichapfuura, asi mashoko angu haangatongopfuuri.
The heavens and the earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
34 “Chenjerai, kuti mwoyo yenyu irege kuremedzwa nokudyisa, kudhakwa nokufunganya kwoupenyu, kuti zuva iro rirege kukuwirai seriva musina kuzvitarisira.
Be on your guard or your minds will become dulled by debauches or drunkenness or the anxieties of life, and ‘that day’ will close on you suddenly like a trap.
35 Nokuti richasvika pamusoro pavose vagere pamusoro penyika yose.
For it will come on all who are living upon 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.”
Be on the watch at all times, and pray that you may have strength to escape all that is destined to happen, and to stand in the presence of the Son of Man.”
37 Zuva rimwe nerimwe Jesu aidzidzisa patemberi, uye madekwana oga oga achindopedza usiku hwose ari muGomo reMiorivhi,
During the days, Jesus continued to teach in the Temple Courts, but he went out and spent the nights on the hill called the ‘Mount of Olives.’
38 uye vanhu vose vaiuya patemberi mangwanani-ngwanani kuti vazomunzwa.
And all the people would get up early in the morning and come to listen to him in the Temple Courts.
