Ruka 22
1 Zvino Mutambo weZvingwa Zvisina Mbiriso, unonzi Pasika, wakanga woswedera,
The Feast of the Unleavened Bread, known as the Passover, was near.
2 uye vaprista vakuru navadzidzisi vomurayiro vakanga vachitsvaka nzira yavangabata nayo Jesu, nokuti vakanga vachitya vanhu.
The Chief Priest and the Teachers of the Law were looking for an opportunity of destroying Jesus, for they were afraid of the people.
3 Ipapo Satani akapinda muna Judhasi, ainzi Iskarioti, mumwe wavane gumi navaviri.
Now Satan took possession of Judas, who was known as Iscariot, and who belonged to the Twelve;
4 Uye Judhasi akaenda kuvaprista vakuru navakuru vavarindi vetemberi akandorangana navo kuti angapandukira Jesu sei.
and he went and discussed with the Chief Priests and Officers in charge at the Temple the best way of betraying Jesus to them.
5 Vakafara uye vakatenderana kuti vaizomupa mari.
They were glad of this, and agreed to pay him.
6 Akatenda, akatsvaka mukana wokuti aise Jesu kwavari pasina vanhu vazhinji.
So Judas assented, and looked for an opportunity to betray Jesus to them, in the absence of a crowd.
7 Ipapo zuva reZvingwa Zvisina Mbiriso rakasvika, iro raifanira kubayirwa gwayana rePasika.
When the day of the Festival of the Unleavened Bread came, on which the Passover lambs had to be killed,
8 Jesu akatuma Petro naJohani, achiti, “Endai munotigadzirira Pasika tidye.”
Jesus sent forward Peter and John, saying to them: “Go and make preparations for our eating the Passover.”
9 Vakati, “Munoda kuti tikugadzirirei kupiko?”
“Where do you wish us to make preparations?” they asked.
10 Iye akapindura akati, “Pamunopinda muguta, muchasangana nomurume akatakura chirongo chemvura. Mumutevere iyeye kuimba yaanosvikopinda,
“Listen,” he answered, “when you have got into the city, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you; follow him into whatever house he enters;
11 mugoti kumuridzi wemba, ‘Mudzidzisi ari kubvunza kuti: Imba yavaeni iripiko, umo mandingadyira Pasika navadzidzi vangu?’
and you shall say to the owner of the house ‘The Teacher says to you — Where is the room where I am to eat the Passover with my disciples?’
12 Achakuratidzai imba huru yapamusoro, yakarongedzwa zvose. Mugadzire imomo.”
The man will show you a large upstairs room, set out; there make preparations.”
13 Vakaenda vakandowana zvinhu zvakangoita sezvavakanga vaudzwa naJesu. Saka vakagadzira Pasika imomo.
So Peter and John went on, and found everything just as Jesus had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
14 Nguva yakati yasvika, Jesu navapostori vake vakagara patafura.
When the time came, Jesus took his place at table, and the Apostles with him.
15 Uye akati kwavari, “Ndanga ndichidisa kwazvo kuti ndidye Pasika iyi nemi ndisati ndatambudzika.
“I have most earnestly wished,” he said, “to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.
16 Nokuti ndinoti kwamuri, handichazoidyizve kusvikira yazadzisika muumambo hwaMwari.”
For I tell you that I shall not eat it again, until it has had its fulfilment in the Kingdom of God.”
17 Akati atora mukombe, akavonga akati, “Torai mukombe uyu mugovane pakati penyu.
Then, on receiving a cup, after saying the thanksgiving, he said:
18 Nokuti ndinoti kwamuri, handichazonwizve chibereko chomuzambiringa kusvikira umambo hwaMwari hwasvika.”
“Take this and share it among you. For I tell you that I shall not, after to-day, drink of the juice of the grape, till the Kingdom of God has come.”
19 Uye akatora chingwa, akavonga akachimedura, uye akavapa, achiti, “Uyu ndiwo muviri wangu wakapiwa kwamuri; itai izvi muchindirangarira.”
Then Jesus took some bread, and, after saying the thanksgiving, broke it and gave to them, with the words: “This is my body, [which is now to be given on your behalf. Do this in memory of me.”]
20 Saizvozvo, vakati vapedza chirariro akatora mukombe, akati, “Mukombe uyu ndiyo sungano itsva muropa rangu, rinodururirwa imi.
[And in the same way with the cup, after supper, saying: “This cup is the New Covenant made by my blood which is being poured out on your behalf. ]
21 Asi ruoko rwaiye achandipandukira runeni patafura.
Yet see! the hand of the man that is betraying me is beside me upon the table!
22 Mwanakomana woMunhu achaenda sezvazvakatemwa, asi ane nhamo munhu uyo anomupandukira.”
True, the Son of Man is passing, by the way ordained for him, yet alas for that man by whom he is being betrayed!”
23 Vakatanga kubvunzana pakati pavo kuti angava ani pakati pavo aizoita chinhu ichi.
Then they began questioning one another which of them it could be that was going to do this.
24 Uyewo nharo dzakamuka pakati pavo dzokuti ndiani wavo aifungidzirwa kuti angava mukuru wavose.
And a dispute arose among them as to which of them was to be regarded as the greatest.
25 Jesu akati kwavari, “Madzimambo evedzimwe ndudzi ane simba pamusoro pavo; uye vaya vanobata nesimba pamusoro pavo vanozviti vabatsiri.
Jesus, however, said: “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their oppressors are styled ‘Benefactors.’
26 Asi imi hamufaniri kuita saizvozvo. Asi, mukuru pakati penyu mose anofanira kuva somuduku kuna vose, uye uyo anotonga ngaaite souya anoshanda.
But with you it must not be so. No, let the greatest among you become like the youngest, and him who leads like him who serves.
27 Nokuti ndianiko mukuru kuno mumwe, uyo agere patafura kana kuti uya anoshanda? Ko, haazi iye agere patafura here? Asi ini ndiri pakati penyu saiye anoshanda.
Which is the greater — the master at the table or his servant? Is not it the master at the table? Yet I myself am among you as one who serves.
28 Imi ndimi vaya vakamira neni pamiedzo yangu.
You are the men who have stood by me in my trials;
29 Uye ndinokupai umambo, sababa vangu vakandipa umambo,
and, just as my Father has assigned me a Kingdom, I assign you places,
30 kuitira kuti mugodya nokunwa patafura yangu muumambo hwangu, mugogara pazvigaro zvoushe, muchitonga marudzi gumi navaviri avaIsraeri.
so that you may eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom, and be seated upon twelve thrones as judges of the twelve tribes of Israel.
31 “Simoni, Simoni, Satani akumbira kuti akuzungure segorosi.
Simon! Simon! listen. Satan demanded leave to sift you all like wheat,
32 Asi ndakunyengeterera, Simoni, kuti kutenda kwako kurege kupera. Uye paunenge watendeuka, usimbise hama dzako.”
but I prayed for you, Simon, that your faith should not fail. And you, when you have returned to me, are to strengthen your Brothers.”
33 Asi iye akapindura akati, “Ishe, ndakagadzirira kuenda nemi mutorongo uye kufa nemi.”
“Master,” said Peter, “with you I am ready to go both to prison and to death.”
34 Jesu akapindura akati, “Petro, ndinoti kwauri, jongwe risati rarira nhasi, ucharamba iwe katatu, kuti unondiziva.”
“I tell you, Peter,” replied Jesus, “the cock will not crow to-day till you have disowned all knowledge of me three times.”
35 Ipapo Jesu akabvunza akati, “Pandakakutumai musina chikwama, hombodo kana shangu pane chinhu chamakashayiwa here?” Ivo vakati, “Hapana.”
Then he said to them all: “When I sent you out as my Messengers, without either purse, or bag, or sandals, were you in need of anything?” “No; nothing,” they answered.
36 Akati kwavari, “Asi iye zvino kana une chikwama, chitore, uyewo nehombodo; uye kana usina munondo, tengesa nguo yako ugoutenga.
“Now, however,” he said, “he who has a purse must take it and his bag as well; and he who has not must sell his cloak and buy a sword.
37 Kwakanyorwa kuchinzi, ‘Akaverengwa pamwe chete navadariki’ uye ndinoti kwamuri, izvi zvinofanira kuzadziswa mandiri. Hongu, zvakanyorwa pamusoro pangu zvava kusvika pakuzadziswa.”
For, I tell you, that passage of Scripture must be fulfilled in me, which says — ‘He was counted among the godless’; indeed all that refers to me is finding its fulfilment.”
38 Vadzidzi vakati, “Tarirai, Ishe, heyi minondo miviri.” Akapindura akati, “Zvaringana.”
“Master,” they exclaimed, “look, here are two swords!” “Enough!” said Jesus.
39 Jesu akabuda sezvaaisiita mazuva ose akaenda kuGomo reMiorivhi, uye vadzidzi vake vakamutevera.
Jesus then went out, and made his way as usual to the Mount of Olives, followed by his disciples.
40 Akati asvika panzvimbo iyo, akati kwavari, “Nyengeterai kuti murege kupinda mukuedzwa.”
And, when he reached the spot, he said to them: “Pray that you may not fall into temptation.”
41 Akabva pavari akaenda mberi kwavo chinhambwe chingasvika dombo rapotserwa, akapfugama ndokunyengetera achiti,
Then he withdrew about a stone’s throw, and knelt down and began to pray.
42 “Baba, kana muchida, bvisai mukombe uyu pandiri; asi ngakurege kuva kuda kwangu, asi kuda kwenyu kuitwe.”
“Father,” he said, “if it is thy pleasure, spare me this cup; only, not my will but thine be done.”
43 Mutumwa akabva kudenga akazviratidza kwaari uye akamusimbisa.
Presently there appeared to him an angel from Heaven, who strengthened him.
44 Uye ari pakutambudzika, akanyengetera zvikuru, uye ziya rake rakanga rakaita samadonhwe eropa anodonhera pasi.
And, as his anguish became intense, he prayed still more earnestly, while his sweat was like great drops of blood falling on the ground.
45 Akati achisimuka kubva pakunyengetera, akadzokera kuvadzidzi, akasvikovawana vavata, vaneteswa nokusuwa.
Then he rose from praying, and came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow.
46 Akasvikovabvunza achiti, “Seiko mavata? Mukai munyengetere kuti murege kuwira mukuedzwa.”
“Why are you asleep?” he asked them. “Rise and pray, that you may not fall into temptation.”
47 Achiri kutaura, vanhu vazhinji vakasvika, uye uya ainzi Judhasi, mumwe wavane Gumi naVaviri, akanga achivatungamirira. Akaswedera kuna Jesu kuti amutsvode,
While he was still speaking, a crowd appeared in sight, led by the man called Judas, who was one of the Twelve. Judas approached Jesus, to kiss him;
48 asi Jesu akamubvunza akati, “Judhasi, uri kupandukira Mwanakomana woMunhu nokutsvoda here?”
on which Jesus said to him: “Judas, is it by a kiss that you betray the Son of Man?”
49 Vateveri vaJesu vakati vaona zvakanga zvoda kuitika vakati, “Ishe, tivabaye neminondo yedu here?”
But when those who were round Jesus saw what was going to happen, they exclaimed: “Master, shall we use our swords?”
50 Uye mumwe wavo akatema muranda womuprista mukuru, akagura nzeve yake yokurudyi.
And one of them struck the High Priest’s servant and cut off his right ear;
51 Asi Jesu akapindura achiti, “Zvaringana!” Uye akabata nzeve yomurume uya akamuporesa.
on which Jesus said: “Let me at least do this”; and, touching his ear, he healed the wound.
52 Ipapo Jesu akati kuvaprista vakuru navabati vaichengeta temberi, navakuru vakanga vamuvinga, “Ko, ini ndiri mupanduki mukuru here, zvamauya neminondo netsvimbo?
Then, turning to the Chief Priests and Officers in charge at the Temple and Councillors, who had come for him, he said: “Have you come out, as if after a robber, with swords and clubs?
53 Mazuva ose ndakanga ndinemi mutemberi, uye hamuna kundibata. Asi ino ndiyo nguva yenyu, yokutonga kwerima.”
When I was with you day after day in the Temple Courts, you did not lay hands on me; but now your time has come, and the power of Darkness.”
54 Ipapo vakamubata, vakaenda naye vakandomuisa mumba momuprista mukuru. Petro akamutevera ari nechokure.
Those who had taken Jesus prisoner took him away into the house of the High Priest. Peter followed at a distance.
55 Asi vakati vabatidza moto pakati poruvazhe uye vagara pasi pamwe chete, Petro akagara pakati pavo.
But, when they had lit a fire in the centre of the court-yard and had all sat down there, Peter seated himself in the middle of them.
56 Musikana akanga ari mushandi akamuona agerepo muchiedza chomoto. Akamunanʼanidza akati, “Murume uyu aivawo naJesu.”
Presently a maidservant saw him sitting near the blaze of the fire. Fixing her eyes on him, she said: “Why, this man was one of his companions!”
57 Asi iye akaramba izvozvo akati, “Iwe mukadzi, handimuzivi ini.”
But Peter denied it. “I do not know him,” he replied.
58 Kwapera chinguvana, mumwezve akamuona akati, “Newewo uri mumwe wavo.” Petro akapindura akati, “Iwe murume, handizi!”
A little while afterwards some one else — a man — saw him and said: “Why, you are one of them!” “No,” Peter said, “I am not.”
59 Shure kweawa imwe chete mumwezve akauya akati, “Zvirokwazvo munhu uyu akanga anaye, nokuti muGarirea.”
About an hour later another man declared positively: “This man also was certainly with him. Why, he is a Galilean!”
60 Petro akapindura akati, “Iwe murume, handitombozivi zvauri kutaura nezvazvo!” Achiri kutaura, jongwe rakabva rarira.
But Peter said: “I do not know what you are speaking about.” Instantly, while he was still speaking, a cock crowed.
61 Ishe akatendeuka akatarisa akanyatsonanga Petro. Ipapo Petro akarangarira shoko rakanga rataurwa kwaari naShe rokuti, “Nhasi jongwe risati rarira, uchandiramba katatu.”
And the Master turned and looked at Peter; and Peter remembered the words that the Master had said to him — “Before a cock has crowed to-day, you will disown me three times”;
62 Ipapo akabuda kunze akandochema zvikuru.
and he went outside and wept bitterly.
63 Varume vakanga vachirinda Jesu vakatanga kumuseka uye vakamurova.
The men that held Jesus kept making sport of him and beating him.
64 Vakamusunga kumeso vakati, “Profita! Ndiani akurova?”
They blindfolded him and then questioned him. “Now play the Prophet,” they said; “who was it that struck you?”
65 uye vakataura zvimwe zvinhu zvizhinji kwaari vachimutuka.
And they heaped many other insults on him.
66 Kuzoti kwaedza, dare ravakuru vavanhu, vose vaprista vakuru navadzidzisi vomurayiro, vakasangana pamwe chete, Jesu akamiswa pamberi pavo.
At daybreak the National Council met — both the Chief Priests and the Teachers of the Law — and took Jesus before their High Council.
67 Vakati, “Kana uri Kristu, tiudze.” Jesu akapindura akati, “Kana ndikakuudzai, hamunganditendi,
“If you are the Christ,” they said, “tell us so.” “If I tell you,” replied Jesus, “you will not believe me;
68 uye kana ndikakubvunzai, hamungandipinduri.
and, if I question you, you will not answer.
69 Asi kubva zvino, Mwanakomana woMunhu achagara kuruoko rworudyi rwaMwari ane simba.”
But from this hour ‘the Son of Man will be seated on the right hand of God Almighty.’”
70 Vose vakabvunza vachiti, “Ko, zvino iwe ndiwe Mwanakomana waMwari here?” Iye akapindura akati, “Mareva zvakanaka, zvamati ndini iye.”
“Are you, then, the Son of God?” they all asked. “It is true,” answered Jesus, “I am.”
71 Ipapo vakati, “Tichadazve humwe uchapupu here? Tazvinzwa zvabva mumuromo make.”
At this they exclaimed: “Why do we want any more evidence? We have heard it ourselves from his own lips!”
