Ruka 7
1 Jesu akati apedza kutaura zvose izvi vanhu vachizvinzwa, akapinda muKapenaume.
When hee had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entred into Capernaum.
2 Imomo maiva nomuranda womukuru wezana, aidiwa chose natenzi wake, akanga achirwara uye ava kuda kufa.
And a certaine Ceturions seruant was sicke and readie to die, which was deare vnto him.
3 Mukuru wezana akanzwa nezvaJesu uye akatuma vamwe vakuru vavaJudha kwaari, achimukumbira kuti auye kuzoporesa muranda wake.
And when he heard of Iesus, hee sent vnto him the Elders of the Iewes, beseeching him that he would come, and heale his seruant.
4 Vakati vasvika kuna Jesu, vakamukumbira zvikuru vachiti, “Murume uyu akafanira kuti mumuitire izvi,
So they came to Iesus, and besought him instantly, saying that hee was worthy that hee should doe this for him:
5 nokuti anoda rudzi rwedu uye ndiye akavaka sinagoge redu.”
For he loueth, said they, our nation, and he hath built vs a Synagogue.
6 Naizvozvo Jesu akaenda navo. Akanga asiri kure nomusha pakatumwa shamwari nomukuru wezana kuti dzinoti kwaari, “Ishe, musazvinetsa zvenyu, nokuti handina kukodzera kuti imi mupinde mumba mangu.
Then Iesus went with them: but when he was now not farre from the house, the Centurion sent friendes to him, saying vnto him, Lord, trouble not thy selfe: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter vnder my roofe:
7 Ndokusaka ndisina kumbofunga kuti ini ndive nekodzero yokuuya kwamuri. Asi, taurai henyu shoko, uye muranda wangu achapora.
Wherefore I thought not my selfe worthy to come vnto thee: but say the word, and my seruant shalbe whole:
8 Nokuti ini pachangu, ndiri munhu ari pasi pavamwe, uye ndine varwi vari pasi pangu. Ndinoti kuno uyu, ‘Enda,’ uye anoenda, kuno mumwe, ‘Uya’ uye anouya. Ndinoti kumuranda wangu, ‘Ita ichi,’ uye anochiita.”
For I likewise am a man set vnder authoritie, and haue vnder mee souldiers, and I say vnto one, Goe, and he goeth: and to another, Come, and hee commeth: and to my seruant, Doe this, and he doeth it.
9 Jesu akati anzwa izvi, akashamiswa kwazvo naye, akatendeukira kuvanhu vazhinji vaimutevera akati, “Ndinoti kwamuri, handina kumboona kutenda kwakadai kunyange muIsraeri.”
When Iesus heard these things, he marueiled at him, and turned him, and said to the people, that followed him, I say vnto you, I haue not found so great faith, no not in Israel.
10 Ipapo varume vaya vakanga vatumwa vakadzokera kumba vakawana muranda uya apora.
And when they that were sent, turned backe to the house, they founde the seruant that was sicke, whole.
11 Pasina kupera nguva refu, Jesu akaenda kuguta rainzi Naini, vadzidzi vake navanhu vazhinji kwazvo vakaendawo naye.
And it came to passe the day after, that he went into a citie called Nain, and many of his disciples went with him, and a great multitude.
12 Kuzoti ave kuswedera pasuo reguta, munhu akafa akanga akatakurwa achiburitswa kunze, aingova mwanakomana mumwe chete wamai vake, uye vakanga vari chirikadzi. Uye vanhu vazhinji kwazvo vaibva muguta vaiva navo.
Nowe when hee came neere to the gate of the citie, behold, there was a dead man caried out, who was the onely begotten sonne of his mother, which was a widowe, and much people of the citie was with her.
13 Ishe akati achivaona, mwoyo wake wakavanzwira tsitsi, akati kwavari, “Musachema.”
And when the Lord sawe her, he had compassion on her, and said vnto her, Weepe not.
14 Ipapo akaswedera pedyo akabata hwanyanza, uye vaya vakanga vakamutakura vakamira. Akati, “Jaya, ndinoti kwauri, muka!”
And he went and touched the coffin (and they that bare him, stoode still) and he said, Yong man, I say vnto thee, Arise.
15 Munhu uya akanga afa akamuka akagara akatanga kutaura, uye Jesu akamupa kuna mai vake.
And he that was dead, sate vp, and began to speake, and he deliuered him to his mother.
16 Vose vakazadzwa nokutya vakarumbidza Mwari. Vakati, “Muprofita mukuru amuka pakati pedu. Mwari auya kuzobatsira vanhu vake.”
Then there came a feare on them all, and they glorified God, saying, A great Prophet is risen among vs, and God hath visited his people.
17 Shoko iri pamusoro paJesu rakapararira muJudhea yose nenyika dzose dzakapoteredza.
And this rumour of him went foorth throughout all Iudea, and throughout all the region round about.
18 Vadzidzi vaJohani vakamuudza pamusoro pezvinhu izvi zvose. Akadana vaviri vavo,
And the disciples of Iohn shewed him of all these things.
19 akavatuma kuna She kuti vandobvunza kuti, “Ndimi here iye aifanira kuuya kana kuti tomirira mumwewo?”
So Iohn called vnto him two certaine men of his disciples, and sent them to Iesus, saying, Art thou hee that should come, or shall we waite for another?
20 Varume ava vakati vasvika kuna Jesu, vakati, “Johani Mubhabhatidzi akatituma kwamuri kuti tizobvunza kuti, ‘Ndimi here mainzi muchauya, kana kuti timirire mumwewo?’”
And when the men were come vnto him, they said, Iohn Baptist hath sent vs vnto thee, saying, Art thou hee that should come, or shall we waite for another?
21 Panguva iyoyo Jesu akaporesa vazhinji vakanga vane zvirwere, matenda nemweya yakaipa uye akasvinudza vazhinji vakanga vari mapofu.
And at that time, he cured many of their sickenesses, and plagues, and of euill spirites, and vnto many blinde men he gaue sight freely.
22 Saka akapindura nhume achiti, “Dzokerai munoudza Johani zvamaona nezvamanzwa zvokuti: Mapofu anosvinudzwa, zvirema zvinofamba, vaya vana maperembudzi vanoporeswa, matsi dzinonzwa, vakafa vanomutswa uye vhangeri riri kuparidzwa kuvarombo.
And Iesus answered, and saide vnto them, Goe your wayes and shewe Iohn, what things ye haue seene and heard: that the blinde see, the halt goe, the lepers are cleansed, the deafe heare, the dead are raised, and the poore receiue the Gospel.
23 Akaropafadzwa munhu asingagumbuswi nokuda kwangu.”
And blessed is hee, that shall not be offended in me.
24 Shure kwokubva kwenhume dzaJohani, Jesu akatanga kutaura kuvanhu vazhinji pamusoro paJohani achiti, “Makabuda mukaenda kurenje kundooneiko? Rutsanga rwaizungunuswa nemhepo here?
And when the messengers of Iohn were departed, hee began to speake vnto the people, of Iohn, What went ye out into the wildernes to see? A reede shaken with the winde?
25 Kana zvisizvo, makabuda kundooneiko? Munhu akanga akafuka nguo dzakanaka here? Kwete, vaya vanopfeka nguo dzomutengo mukuru uye vanogara zvakanaka ndivo vari mumizinda.
But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft rayment? beholde, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and liue delicately, are in Kings courtes.
26 Asi makabuda kundooneiko? Muprofita here? Hongu, ndinokuudzai, uyewo anokunda muprofita.
But what went ye foorth to see? A Prophet? yea, I say to you, and greater then a Prophet.
27 Ndiye uya akanyorwa nezvake zvichinzi: “‘Ndichatuma nhume yangu pamberi pako, uyo achakugadzirira nzira yako pamberi pako.’
This is he of whom it is written, Beholde, I sende my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
28 Ndinokuudzai kuti, pakati paavo vose vakaberekwa navakadzi hakuna mukuru kuna Johani; asi muduku muumambo hwaMwari mukuru kwaari.”
For I say vnto you, there is no greater Prophet then Iohn, among them that are begotten of women: neuerthelesse, hee that is the least in the kingdome of God, is greater then he.
29 Vanhu vose, kunyange navateresi, vakati vanzwa mashoko aJesu, vakabvuma kuti nzira yaMwari yakarurama, nokuti vakanga vabhabhatidzwa naJohani.
Then all the people that heard, and the Publicanes iustified God, being baptized with the baptisme of Iohn.
30 Asi vaFarisi nenyanzvi dzomurayiro vakaramba kuda kwaMwari pamusoro pavo, nokuti vakanga vasina kubhabhatidzwa naJohani.
But the Pharises and the expounders of the Law despised the counsell of God against themselues, and were not baptized of him.
31 “Zvino, ndingafananidza rudzi rwakadai neiko? Vakafanana neiko?
And the Lord saide, Whereunto shall I liken the men of this generation? and what thing are they like vnto?
32 Vakaita savana vagere pamusika vachidanidzira kuno mumwe nomumwe wavo vachiti: “‘Takakuridzirai hwamanda, asi hamuna kutamba; takaimba rwiyo rworufu, uye hamuna kuchema.’
They are like vnto litle children sitting in the market place, and crying one to another, and saying, We haue piped vnto you, and ye haue not daunced: we haue mourned to you, and ye haue not wept.
33 Nokuti Johani Mubhabhatidzi akauya asingadyi chingwa uye asinganwi waini, imi mukati, ‘Ane dhimoni.’
For Iohn Baptist came, neither eating bread, nor drinking wine: and ye say, He hath the deuil.
34 Mwanakomana woMunhu akauya achidya uye achinwa, imi mukati, ‘Houno munhu wamadyo uye chidhakwa, shamwari yavateresi na“vatadzi”.’
The Sonne of man is come, and eateth and drinketh: and ye say, Beholde, a man which is a glutton, and a drinker of wine, a friend of Publicanes and sinners:
35 Asi uchenjeri hunoratidzwa navana vahwo vose.”
But wisdome is iustified of all her children.
36 Zvino mumwe wavaFarisi akakoka Jesu kuti azodya naye, saka akaenda kumba kwomuFarisi uyu akandogara kuti adye.
And one of the Pharises desired him that hee would eate with him: and hee went into the Pharises house, and sate downe at table.
37 Mumwe mukadzi womuguta umu akanga achirarama muzvivi akati anzwa kuti Jesu akanga agere pakudya mumba momuFarisi, akauya nechinu chamafuta anonhuhwira chearabhasta,
And beholde, a woman in the citie, which was a sinner, when she knewe that Iesus sate at table in the Pharises house, shee brought a boxe of oyntment.
38 akamira shure kwake akatanga kuchema, uye akanyorovesa tsoka dzake nemisodzi yake. Ipapo akadzipukuta nebvudzi romusoro wake, akadzitsvoda uye akadzizodza mafuta anonhuhwira.
And shee stoode at his feete behinde him weeping, and began to wash his feete with teares, and did wipe them with the heares of her head, and kissed his feete, and anoynted them with the oyntment.
39 Zvino muFarisi uya akanga amukoka akati achiona izvi, akati mumwoyo make, “Dai munhu uyu anga ari muprofita, angadai aziva kuti mukadzi uyu amubata akaita sei, kuti mutadzi.”
Nowe when the Pharise which bade him, saw it, he spake within himselfe, saying, If this man were a Prophet, hee woulde surely haue knowen who, and what maner of woman this is which toucheth him: for she is a sinner.
40 Jesu akamupindura akati, “Simoni, ndine chinhu chandinoda kukutaurira.” Iye akati, “Ndiudzei henyu mudzidzisi.”
And Iesus answered, and saide vnto him, Simon, I haue somewhat to say vnto thee. And he said, Master, say on.
41 “Vamwe varume vaviri vakanga vane chikwereti kumunhu mumwe chete. Mumwe akanga ane chikwereti chamadhenari mazana mashanu, uye mumwe madhenari makumi mashanu.
There was a certaine lender which had two detters: the one ought fiue hundreth pence, and the other fiftie:
42 Hakuna akanga ane mari yokuripa chikwereti pavari vose vari vaviri, saka nyakukweretesa akadzima zvikwereti zvavo vose. Zvino ndoupiko pauviri hwavo achanyanya kumuda?”
When they had nothing to pay, he forgaue them both: Which of them therefore, tell mee, will loue him most?
43 Simoni akapindura akati, “Ndinofunga kuti ndouya akadzimirwa chikwereti chikuru.” Jesu akati, “Wataura zvakanaka.”
Simon answered, and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgaue most. And he said vnto him, Thou hast truely iudged.
44 Ipapo akatendeukira kumukadzi ndokuti kuna Simoni, “Unoona here mukadzi uyu? Ndapinda mumba mako; hauna kundipa kana mvura yokugeza tsoka dzangu, asi uyu anyorovesa tsoka dzangu nemisodzi yake uye akadzipukuta nebvudzi romusoro wake.
Then he turned to the woman, and said vnto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entred into thine house, and thou gauest mee no water to my feete: but she hath washed my feete with teares, and wiped them with the heares of her head.
45 Iwe hauna kunditsvoda, asi mukadzi uyu, kubvira panguva yandapinda, haana kurega kutsvoda tsoka dzangu.
Thou gauest me no kisse: but she, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kisse my feete.
46 Iwe hauna kuzodza musoro wangu namafuta, asi iye adira zvinonhuhwira patsoka dzangu.
Mine head with oyle thou didest not anoint: but she hath anoynted my feete with oyntment.
47 Naizvozvo, ndinokuudza kuti zvivi zvake zvizhinji zvaregererwa nokuti iye ada zvikuru. Asi uya akaregererwa zvishoma, anodawo zvishoma.”
Wherefore I say vnto thee, many sinnes are forgiuen her: for she loued much. To whom a litle is forgiuen, he doeth loue a litle.
48 Ipapo Jesu akati kwaari, “Zvivi zvako zvaregererwa.”
And he saide vnto her, Thy sinnes are forgiuen thee.
49 Vamwe vakanga vakokwa vakatanga kutaura pakati pavo vachiti, “Ndianiko uyu anoti kunyange nezvivi anokanganwira?”
And they that sate at table with him, began to say within themselues, Who is this that euen forgiueth sinnes?
50 Jesu akati kumukadzi, “Kutenda kwako kwakuponesa; chienda norugare.”
And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saued thee: goe in peace.
