Ruka 22
1 Zvino Mutambo weZvingwa Zvisina Mbiriso, unonzi Pasika, wakanga woswedera,
Meanwhile the Festival of the Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching,
2 uye vaprista vakuru navadzidzisi vomurayiro vakanga vachitsvaka nzira yavangabata nayo Jesu, nokuti vakanga vachitya vanhu.
and the High Priests and the Scribes were contriving how to destroy Him. But they feared the people.
3 Ipapo Satani akapinda muna Judhasi, ainzi Iskarioti, mumwe wavane gumi navaviri.
Satan, however, entered into Judas (the man called Iscariot) who was one of the Twelve.
4 Uye Judhasi akaenda kuvaprista vakuru navakuru vavarindi vetemberi akandorangana navo kuti angapandukira Jesu sei.
He went and conferred with the High Priests and Commanders as to how he should deliver Him up to them.
5 Vakafara uye vakatenderana kuti vaizomupa mari.
This gave them great pleasure, and they agreed to pay him.
6 Akatenda, akatsvaka mukana wokuti aise Jesu kwavari pasina vanhu vazhinji.
He accepted their offer, and then looked out for an opportunity to betray Him when the people were not there.
7 Ipapo zuva reZvingwa Zvisina Mbiriso rakasvika, iro raifanira kubayirwa gwayana rePasika.
When the day of the Unleavened Bread came--the day for the Passover lamb to be sacrificed--
8 Jesu akatuma Petro naJohani, achiti, “Endai munotigadzirira Pasika tidye.”
Jesus sent Peter and John with instructions. "Go," He said, "and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat it."
9 Vakati, “Munoda kuti tikugadzirirei kupiko?”
"Where shall we prepare it?" they asked.
10 Iye akapindura akati, “Pamunopinda muguta, muchasangana nomurume akatakura chirongo chemvura. Mumutevere iyeye kuimba yaanosvikopinda,
"You will no sooner have entered the city," He replied, "than you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water. Follow him into the house to which he goes,
11 mugoti kumuridzi wemba, ‘Mudzidzisi ari kubvunza kuti: Imba yavaeni iripiko, umo mandingadyira Pasika navadzidzi vangu?’
and say to the master of the house, "'The Rabbi asks you, Where is the room where I can eat the Passover with my disciples?'
12 Achakuratidzai imba huru yapamusoro, yakarongedzwa zvose. Mugadzire imomo.”
"And he will show you a large furnished room upstairs. There make your preparations."
13 Vakaenda vakandowana zvinhu zvakangoita sezvavakanga vaudzwa naJesu. Saka vakagadzira Pasika imomo.
So they went and found all as He had told them; and they got the Passover ready.
14 Nguva yakati yasvika, Jesu navapostori vake vakagara patafura.
When the time was come, and He had taken His place at table, and the Apostles with Him,
15 Uye akati kwavari, “Ndanga ndichidisa kwazvo kuti ndidye Pasika iyi nemi ndisati ndatambudzika.
He said to them, "Earnestly have I longed to eat this Passover with you before I suffer;
16 Nokuti ndinoti kwamuri, handichazoidyizve kusvikira yazadzisika muumambo hwaMwari.”
for I tell you that I certainly shall not eat one again till its full meaning has been brought out in the Kingdom of God."
17 Akati atora mukombe, akavonga akati, “Torai mukombe uyu mugovane pakati penyu.
Then, having received the cup and given thanks, He said, "Take this and share it among yourselves;
18 Nokuti ndinoti kwamuri, handichazonwizve chibereko chomuzambiringa kusvikira umambo hwaMwari hwasvika.”
for I tell you that from this time I will never drink the produce of the vine 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, taking a Passover biscuit, He gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body which is being given on your behalf: this do in remembrance of me."
20 Saizvozvo, vakati vapedza chirariro akatora mukombe, akati, “Mukombe uyu ndiyo sungano itsva muropa rangu, rinodururirwa imi.
He gave them the cup in like manner, when the meal was over. "This cup," He said, "is the new Covenant ratified by my blood which is to be poured out on your behalf.
21 Asi ruoko rwaiye achandipandukira runeni patafura.
Yet the hand of him who is betraying me is at the table with me.
22 Mwanakomana woMunhu achaenda sezvazvakatemwa, asi ane nhamo munhu uyo anomupandukira.”
For indeed the Son of Man goes on His way--His pre-destined way; yet alas for that man who is betraying Him!"
23 Vakatanga kubvunzana pakati pavo kuti angava ani pakati pavo aizoita chinhu ichi.
Thereupon they began to discuss with one another which of them it could possibly be who was about to do this.
24 Uyewo nharo dzakamuka pakati pavo dzokuti ndiani wavo aifungidzirwa kuti angava mukuru wavose.
There arose also a dispute among them which of them should be regarded as greatest.
25 Jesu akati kwavari, “Madzimambo evedzimwe ndudzi ane simba pamusoro pavo; uye vaya vanobata nesimba pamusoro pavo vanozviti vabatsiri.
But He said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles are their masters, and those who exercise authority over them are called Benefactors.
26 Asi imi hamufaniri kuita saizvozvo. Asi, mukuru pakati penyu mose anofanira kuva somuduku kuna vose, uye uyo anotonga ngaaite souya anoshanda.
With you it is not so; but let the greatest among you be as the younger, and the leader be 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.
For which is the greater--he who sits at table, or he who waits on him? Is it not he who sits at table? But my position among you is that of one who waits on others.
28 Imi ndimi vaya vakamira neni pamiedzo yangu.
You however have remained with me amid my trials;
29 Uye ndinokupai umambo, sababa vangu vakandipa umambo,
and I covenant to give you, as my Father has covenanted to give me, a Kingdom--
30 kuitira kuti mugodya nokunwa patafura yangu muumambo hwangu, mugogara pazvigaro zvoushe, muchitonga marudzi gumi navaviri avaIsraeri.
so that you shall eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom, and sit on thrones as judges over the twelve tribes of Israel.
31 “Simoni, Simoni, Satani akumbira kuti akuzungure segorosi.
"Simon, Simon, I tell you that Satan has obtained permission to have all of you to sift as wheat is sifted.
32 Asi ndakunyengeterera, Simoni, kuti kutenda kwako kurege kupera. Uye paunenge watendeuka, usimbise hama dzako.”
But I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail, and you, when at last you have come back to your true self, must strengthen your brethren."
33 Asi iye akapindura akati, “Ishe, ndakagadzirira kuenda nemi mutorongo uye kufa nemi.”
"Master," replied 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," said Jesus, "that the cock will not crow to-day till you have three times denied that you know me."
35 Ipapo Jesu akabvunza akati, “Pandakakutumai musina chikwama, hombodo kana shangu pane chinhu chamakashayiwa here?” Ivo vakati, “Hapana.”
Then He asked them, "When I sent you out without purse or bag or shoes, was there anything you needed?" "No, nothing," they replied.
36 Akati kwavari, “Asi iye zvino kana une chikwama, chitore, uyewo nehombodo; uye kana usina munondo, tengesa nguo yako ugoutenga.
"But now," said He, "let the one who has a purse take it, and he who has a bag must do the same. And let him who has no sword sell his outer garment and buy one.
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 those words of Scripture must yet find their fulfilment in me: 'And He was reckoned among the lawless'; for indeed that saying about me has its accomplishment."
38 Vadzidzi vakati, “Tarirai, Ishe, heyi minondo miviri.” Akapindura akati, “Zvaringana.”
"Master, here are two swords," they exclaimed. "That is enough," He replied.
39 Jesu akabuda sezvaaisiita mazuva ose akaenda kuGomo reMiorivhi, uye vadzidzi vake vakamutevera.
On going out, He proceeded as usual to the Mount of Olives, and His disciples followed Him.
40 Akati asvika panzvimbo iyo, akati kwavari, “Nyengeterai kuti murege kupinda mukuedzwa.”
But when He arrived at the place, He said to them, "Pray that you may not come into temptation."
41 Akabva pavari akaenda mberi kwavo chinhambwe chingasvika dombo rapotserwa, akapfugama ndokunyengetera achiti,
But He Himself withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and knelt down and prayed repeatedly, saying,
42 “Baba, kana muchida, bvisai mukombe uyu pandiri; asi ngakurege kuva kuda kwangu, asi kuda kwenyu kuitwe.”
"Father, if it be Thy will, take this cup away from me; yet not my will but Thine be done!"
43 Mutumwa akabva kudenga akazviratidza kwaari uye akamusimbisa.
And there appeared to Him an angel from Heaven, strengthening Him;
44 Uye ari pakutambudzika, akanyengetera zvikuru, uye ziya rake rakanga rakaita samadonhwe eropa anodonhera pasi.
while He--an agony of distress having come upon Him--prayed all the more with intense earnestness, and His sweat became like clots of blood dropping on the ground.
45 Akati achisimuka kubva pakunyengetera, akadzokera kuvadzidzi, akasvikovawana vavata, vaneteswa nokusuwa.
When He rose from his prayer and came to His disciples, He found them sleeping for sorrow.
46 Akasvikovabvunza achiti, “Seiko mavata? Mukai munyengetere kuti murege kuwira mukuedzwa.”
"Why are you sleeping?" He said; "stand up; and pray that you may not come 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 there came a crowd with Judas, already mentioned as one of the Twelve, at their head. He went up to Jesus to kiss Him.
48 asi Jesu akamubvunza akati, “Judhasi, uri kupandukira Mwanakomana woMunhu nokutsvoda here?”
"Judas," said Jesus, "are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?"
49 Vateveri vaJesu vakati vaona zvakanga zvoda kuitika vakati, “Ishe, tivabaye neminondo yedu here?”
Those who were about Him, seeing what was likely to happen, asked Him, "Master, shall we strike with the sword?"
50 Uye mumwe wavo akatema muranda womuprista mukuru, akagura nzeve yake yokurudyi.
And one of them struck a blow at the High Priest's servant and cut off his right ear.
51 Asi Jesu akapindura achiti, “Zvaringana!” Uye akabata nzeve yomurume uya akamuporesa.
"Permit me thus far," said Jesus. And He touched the ear and healed it.
52 Ipapo Jesu akati kuvaprista vakuru navabati vaichengeta temberi, navakuru vakanga vamuvinga, “Ko, ini ndiri mupanduki mukuru here, zvamauya neminondo netsvimbo?
Then Jesus said to the High Priests and Commanders of the Temple and Elders, who had come to arrest Him, "Have you come out as if to fight with a robber, with swords and cudgels?
53 Mazuva ose ndakanga ndinemi mutemberi, uye hamuna kundibata. Asi ino ndiyo nguva yenyu, yokutonga kwerima.”
While day after day I was with you in the Temple, you did not lay hands upon me; but to you belongs this hour--and the power of darkness."
54 Ipapo vakamubata, vakaenda naye vakandomuisa mumba momuprista mukuru. Petro akamutevera ari nechokure.
And they arrested Him and led Him away, and brought Him to the High Priest's house, while Peter followed a good way behind.
55 Asi vakati vabatidza moto pakati poruvazhe uye vagara pasi pamwe chete, Petro akagara pakati pavo.
And when they had lighted a fire in the middle of the court and had seated themselves in a group round it, Peter was sitting among them,
56 Musikana akanga ari mushandi akamuona agerepo muchiedza chomoto. Akamunanʼanidza akati, “Murume uyu aivawo naJesu.”
when a maidservant saw him sitting by the fire, and, looking fixedly at him, she said, "This man also was with him."
57 Asi iye akaramba izvozvo akati, “Iwe mukadzi, handimuzivi ini.”
But he denied it, and declared, "Woman, I do not know him."
58 Kwapera chinguvana, mumwezve akamuona akati, “Newewo uri mumwe wavo.” Petro akapindura akati, “Iwe murume, handizi!”
Shortly afterwards a man saw him and said, "You, too, are one of them." "No, man, I am not," said Peter.
59 Shure kweawa imwe chete mumwezve akauya akati, “Zvirokwazvo munhu uyu akanga anaye, nokuti muGarirea.”
After an interval of about an hour some one else stoutly maintained: "Certainly this fellow also was with him, for in fact he is a Galilaean."
60 Petro akapindura akati, “Iwe murume, handitombozivi zvauri kutaura nezvazvo!” Achiri kutaura, jongwe rakabva rarira.
"Man, I don't know what you mean," replied Peter. No sooner had he spoken than a cock crowed.
61 Ishe akatendeuka akatarisa akanyatsonanga Petro. Ipapo Petro akarangarira shoko rakanga rataurwa kwaari naShe rokuti, “Nhasi jongwe risati rarira, uchandiramba katatu.”
The Master turned and looked on Peter; and Peter recollected the Master's words, how He had said to him, "This very day, before the cock crows, you will disown me three times."
62 Ipapo akabuda kunze akandochema zvikuru.
And he went out and wept aloud bitterly.
63 Varume vakanga vachirinda Jesu vakatanga kumuseka uye vakamurova.
Meanwhile the men who held Jesus in custody repeatedly beat Him in cruel sport,
64 Vakamusunga kumeso vakati, “Profita! Ndiani akurova?”
or blindfolded Him, and then challenged Him. "Prove to us," they said, "that you are a prophet, by telling us who it was that struck you."
65 uye vakataura zvimwe zvinhu zvizhinji kwaari vachimutuka.
And they said many other insulting things to Him.
66 Kuzoti kwaedza, dare ravakuru vavanhu, vose vaprista vakuru navadzidzisi vomurayiro, vakasangana pamwe chete, Jesu akamiswa pamberi pavo.
As soon as it was day, the whole body of the Elders, both High Priests and Scribes, assembled. Then He was brought into their Sanhedrin, and they asked Him,
67 Vakati, “Kana uri Kristu, tiudze.” Jesu akapindura akati, “Kana ndikakuudzai, hamunganditendi,
"Are you the Christ? Tell us." "If I tell you," He replied, "you will certainly not believe;
68 uye kana ndikakubvunzai, hamungandipinduri.
and if I ask you questions, you will certainly not answer.
69 Asi kubva zvino, Mwanakomana woMunhu achagara kuruoko rworudyi rwaMwari ane simba.”
But from this time forward the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of God's omnipotence."
70 Vose vakabvunza vachiti, “Ko, zvino iwe ndiwe Mwanakomana waMwari here?” Iye akapindura akati, “Mareva zvakanaka, zvamati ndini iye.”
Thereupon they cried out with one voice, "You, then, are the Son of God?" "It is as you say," He answered; "I am He."
71 Ipapo vakati, “Tichadazve humwe uchapupu here? Tazvinzwa zvabva mumuromo make.”
"What need have we of further evidence?" they said; "for we ourselves have heard it from his own lips."
