Ruka 9
1 Jesu akati aunganidza vane Gumi naVaviri vake pamwe chete, akavapa simba nechikuriri kuti vadzinge madhimoni uye vaporese vakanga vane zvirwere,
Then calling together the twelve apostles, he gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
2 akavatuma kuti vandoparidza umambo hwaMwari uye vandoporesa vairwara.
And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
3 Akavarayira achiti, “Musatakura chinhu parwendo, mudonzvo, kana hombodo, kana chingwa, kana mari, kana imwe nguo.
And he said to them: Take nothing for your journey; neither staff, nor scrip, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats.
4 Muimba ipi neipi yamunopinda, mugaremo kusvikira mabva muguta imomo.
And whatsoever house you shall enter into, abide there, and depart not from thence.
5 Kana vanhu vasingakugamuchiriyi, muzunze guruva retsoka dzenyu pamunenge mabuda muguta ravo, chive chapupu pamusoro pavo.”
And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off even the dust of your feet, for a testimony against them.
6 Saka vakasimuka vakabuda vakaenda kumusha nomusha, vachiparidza vhangeri nokuporesa vanhu kwose kwose.
And going out, they went about through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.
7 Zvino Herodhi mubati akanzwa pamusoro pezvose zvakanga zvichiitika. Akakanganisika, nokuti vamwe vakanga vachiti Johani akanga amutswa kubva kuvakafa,
Now Herod, the tetrarch, heard of all things that were done by him; and he was in a doubt, because it was said
8 vamwe vachiti Eria akanga aonekwa, uyezve vamwe vachiti mumwe wavaprofita vakare akanga amuka.
By some, that John was risen from the dead: but by other some, that Elias had appeared; and by others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.
9 Asi Herodhi akati, “Johani ndakamugura musoro. Zvino, ndianiko uyu wandinonzwa zvinhu zvakadai pamusoro pake?” Akaedza kuti amuone.
And Herod said: John I have beheaded; but who is this of whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him.
10 Vapostori vakati vadzoka, vakarondedzera kuna Jesu zvavakanga vaita. Ipapo akavatora vakabva muchivande vakaenda kuguta rainzi Bhetisaidha,
And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all they had done. And taking them, he went aside into a desert place, apart, which belongeth to Bethsaida.
11 asi vazhinji vakazviziva vakamutevera. Akavagamuchira akataura kwavari nezvoumambo hwaMwari, akaporesa avo vakanga vachida kuporeswa.
Which when the people knew, they followed him; and he received them, and spoke to them of the kingdom of God, and healed them who had need of healing.
12 Zuva rovira, vane Gumi Navaviri vakauya kwaari vakati, “Endesai vanhu vazhinji ava kuitira kuti vaende kumisha nokumaruwa akapoteredza kuti vandozvitsvakira zvokudya nepokurara, nokuti tiri musango muno.”
Now the day began to decline. And the twelve came and said to him: Send away the multitude, that going into the towns and villages round about, they may lodge and get victuals; for we are here in a desert place.
13 Akavapindura akati, “Vapei imi zvokudya.” Ivo vakati, “Tinongova nezvingwa zvishanu nehove mbiri, kunze kwokunge tandotenga zvokudya zvavanhu vazhinji vose ava.”
But he said to them: Give you them to eat. And they said: We have no more than five loaves and two fishes; unless perhaps we should go and buy food for all this multitude.
14 Pakanga pane varume vangasvika zviuru zvishanu. Asi iye akati kuvadzidzi vake, “Vagarisei pasi vari mumapoka avanhu vangasvika makumi mashanu paboka rimwe nerimwe.”
Now there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples: Make them sit down by fifties in a company.
15 Vadzidzi vakaita saizvozvo, uye munhu wose akagara pasi.
And they did so; and made them all sit down.
16 Akati atora zvingwa zvishanu nehove mbiri akatarisa kudenga, akavonga ndokuzvimedura. Ipapo akazvipa kuvadzidzi kuti vaise pamberi pavanhu.
And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed them; and he broke, and distributed to his disciples, to set before the multitude.
17 Vose vakadya vakaguta, uye vadzidzi vakanonga matengu azere gumi namaviri ezvimedu zvakanga zvasara.
And they did all eat, and were filled. And there were taken up of fragments that remained to them, twelve baskets.
18 Rimwe zuva Jesu akati achinyengetera ari oga uye vadzidzi vake vakanga vanaye, akavabvunza akati, “Vanhu vazhinji vanoti ndini aniko?”
And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples also were with him: and he asked them, saying: Whom do the people say that I am?
19 Vakapindura vakati, “Vamwe vanoti Johani Mubhabhatidzi, vamwe vachiti Eria, uye vamwezve vachiti, mumwe wavaprofita vakare akamuka kubva kuvakafa.”
But they answered, and said: John the Baptist; but some say Elias; and others say that one of the former prophets is risen again.
20 Akati kwavari, “Asi, ko, imi munoti ndini ani?” Petro akapindura akati, “Ndimi Kristu waMwari.”
And he said to them: But whom do you say that I am? Simon Peter answering, said: The Christ of God.
21 Jesu akavayambira zvikuru kuti varege kutaura izvi kuna ani zvake.
But he strictly charging them, commanded they should tell this to no man.
22 Akatizve, “Mwanakomana woMunhu anofanira kutambudzika pazvinhu zvizhinji agorambwa navakuru, vaprista vakuru navadzidzisi vomurayiro, uye anofanira kuurayiwa agomuka pazuva retatu.”
Saying: The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the ancients and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day rise again.
23 Ipapo akati kwavari vose, “Kana munhu achida kunditevera, anofanira kuzviramba atore muchinjikwa wake zuva rimwe nerimwe agonditevera.
And he said to all: If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
24 Nokuti ani naani anoda kuponesa upenyu hwake acharasikirwa nahwo, asi ani naani anorasikirwa noupenyu hwake nokuda kwangu achahuponesa.
For whosoever will save his life, shall lose it; for he that shall lose his life for my sake, shall save it.
25 Ko, munhu achabatsirwei kana akawana nyika yose, asi agorasikirwa noupenyu hwake.
For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, and cast away himself?
26 Kana munhu akanyara pamusoro pangu namashoko angu, Mwanakomana woMunhu achanyarawo pamusoro pake paanouya mukubwinya nomukubwinya kwaBaba nokwavatumwa vatsvene.
For he that shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him the Son of man shall be ashamed, when he shall come in his majesty, and that of his Father, and of the holy angels.
27 Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, kuti vamwe vamire pano havazofi vasati vaona umambo hwaMwari.”
But I tell you of a truth: There are some standing here that shall not taste death, till they see the kingdom of God.
28 Mazuva angasvika masere akati apera, shure kwokunge Jesu ataura izvozvo, akatora Petro naJohani naJakobho pamwe chete naye akakwira mugomo kundonyengetera.
And it came to pass about eight days after these words, that he took Peter, and James, and John, and went up into a mountain to pray.
29 Akati achinyengetera, kuonekwa kwechiso chake kwakashanduka, nguo dzake dzikachena dzikapenya sokupenya kwemheni.
And whilst he prayed, the shape of his countenance was altered, and his raiment became white and glittering.
30 Varume vaviri, Mozisi naEria,
And behold two men were talking with him. And they were Moses and Elias,
31 vakaonekwa vari mukubwinya, vachitaura naJesu. Vakataura pamusoro pokuzoenda kwake, kwaakanga ondozadzisa paJerusarema.
Appearing in majesty. And they spoke of his decease that he should accomplish in Jerusalem.
32 Petro navaaiva navo vakanga vava kubatwa nehope, asi vakati vanyatsomuka, vakaona kubwinya kwake uye varume vaviri vamire naye.
But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep. And waking, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.
33 Varume ava vakati vobva pana Jesu, Petro akati kwaari, “Tenzi, zvakanaka kuti isu tigare pano. Ngativakei matumba matatu, rimwe renyu, rimwe raMozisi uye rimwe raEria.” Akanga asingazivi zvaaireva.
And it came to pass, that as they were departing from him, Peter saith to Jesus: Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias; not knowing what he said.
34 Akati achiri kutaura izvi, gore rakasvika rikavafukidza, uye vakatya pavakapinda mugore.
And as he spoke these things, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them; and they were afraid, when they entered into the cloud.
35 Inzwi rakabva mugore, rikati, “Uyu ndiye Mwanakomana wangu, musanangurwa wangu; muteererei.”
And a voice came out of the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son; hear him.
36 Inzwi rakati rataura izvozvo, vakaona Jesu ava oga. Vadzidzi vakanyarara, vakasaudza munhu zvavakanga vaona panguva iyoyo.
And whilst the voice was uttered, Jesus was found alone. And they held their peace, and told no man in those days any of these things which they had seen.
37 Fume mangwana, pavakaburuka mugomo, vazhinji zhinji vakasangana naye.
And it came to pass the day following, when they came down from the mountain, there met him a great multitude.
38 Mumwe murume akanga ari pakati pavanhu vazhinji akadanidzira achiti, “Mudzidzisi, ndinokukumbirai kuti muonewo mwanakomana wangu, nokuti ndiye oga mwana wangu.
And behold a man among the crowd cried out, saying: Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son, because he is my only one.
39 Mweya wakaipa unomubata pakarepo oridza mhere; wobva womubvundisa achipupuma furo pamuromo. Haudi kumuregedza uye unomuparadza.
And lo, a spirit seizeth him, and he suddenly crieth out, and he throweth him down and teareth him, so that he foameth; and bruising him, he hardly departeth from him.
40 Ndakakumbira vadzidzi venyu kuti vaudzinge, asi vakasagona.”
And I desired thy disciples to cast him out, and they could not.
41 Jesu akapindura akati, “Haiwa rudzi rusingatendi, rwakatsauka, ndichagara nemi kusvikira riniko ndichikuitirai mwoyo murefu? Uyai pano nomwanakomana wenyu.”
And Jesus answering, said: O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring hither thy son.
42 Kunyange pakanga pachiuya mukomana, dhimoni rakamuwisira pasi rikamubvundisa. Asi akarayira mweya wakaipa, akaporesa mukomana ndokubva amudzosera kuna baba vake.
And as he was coming to him, the devil threw him down, and tore him.
43 Uye vose vakashamiswa noukuru hwaMwari. Vanhu vose pavakanga vachakashamiswa nezvose zvakanga zvaitwa naJesu, akati kuvadzidzi vake,
And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and cured the boy, and restored him to his father.
44 “Teereresai kune zvandiri kuda kukutaurirai: Mwanakomana woMunhu ava kuzopandukirwa agoiswa mumaoko avanhu.”
And all were astonished at the mighty power of God. But while all wondered at all the things he did, he said to his disciples: Lay you up in your hearts these words, for it shall come to pass, that the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.
45 Asi havana kunzwisisa kuti zvairevei. Zvakanga zvakavanzika kwavari, naizvozvo havana kuzvibata, uye vakanga vachitya kumubvunza pamusoro pazvo.
But they understood not this word; and it was hid from them, so that they perceived it not. And they were afraid to ask him concerning this word.
46 Nharo dzakatanga pakati pavadzidzi dzokuti mukuru ndiani.
And there entered a thought into them, which of them should be greater.
47 Jesu, achiziva kufunga kwavo, akatora mwana muduku ndokumumisa parutivi rwake.
But Jesus seeing the thoughts of their heart, took a child and set him by him,
48 Ipapo akati kwavari, “Ani naani anogamuchira mwana muduku uyu muzita rangu anondigamuchira; uye ani naani anondigamuchira, anogamuchira uyo akandituma. Nokuti muduku pakati penyu mose ndiye mukuru.”
And said to them: Whosoever shall receive this child in my name, receiveth me; and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth him that sent me. For he that is the lesser among you all, he is the greater.
49 Johani akati, “Tenzi, takaona mumwe murume achidzinga madhimoni muzita renyu uye tikaedza kumudzivisa, nokuti haazi mumwe wedu.”
And John, answering, said: Master, we saw a certain man casting out devils in thy name, and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us.
50 Jesu akati, “Musamudzivisa, nokuti ani naani asingapesani nemi ndowenyu.”
And Jesus said to him: Forbid him not; for he that is not against you, is for you.
51 Nguva yakati yasvika yokuti akwidzwe kudenga, Jesu akafunga zvokuenda kuJerusarema.
And it came to pass, when the days of his assumption were accomplishing, that he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem.
52 Uye akatuma nhume pamberi pake, dzikapinda mumusha weSamaria kundofanomugadzirira zvinhu;
And he sent messengers before his face; and going, they entered into a city of the Samaritans, to prepare for him.
53 asi vanhu voko havana kumugamuchira, nokuti akanga ava kuenda kuJerusarema.
And they received him not, because his face was of one going to Jerusalem.
54 Vadzidzi Jakobho naJohani vakati vaona izvi, vakabvunza vakati, “Ishe, munoda here kuti tidane moto uburuke kubva kudenga kuti uvaparadze?”
And when his disciples James and John had seen this, they said: Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them?
55 Asi Jesu akatendeuka akavatsiura,
And turning, he rebuked them, saying: You know not of what spirit you are.
56 uye akabva akaenda kuno mumwe musha.
The Son of man came not to destroy souls, but to save. And they went into another town.
57 Vakati vachifamba mumugwagwa, mumwe murume akati, “Ndichakuteverai kwose kwamunoenda.”
And it came to pass, as they walked in the way, that a certain man said to him: I will follow thee withersoever thou goest.
58 Jesu akapindura akati, “Makava ane mwena yawo uye shiri dzedenga dzine matendere adzo, asi Mwanakomana woMunhu haana paangatsamidza musoro wake.”
Jesus said to him: The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
59 Akati kuno mumwe murume, “Nditevere.” Asi murume uyu akapindura akati, “Ishe, nditenderei kuti ndinoviga baba vangu.”
But he said to another: Follow me. And he said: Lord, suffer me first to go, and to bury my father.
60 Jesu akati kwaari, “Rega vakafa vavige vakafa vavo, asi iwe enda undoparidza umambo hwaMwari.”
And Jesus said to him: Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou, and preach the kingdom of God.
61 Mumwezve akati, “Ndichakuteverai, Ishe; asi kutanga regai ndimbondoonekana nemhuri yangu.”
And another said: I will follow thee, Lord; but let me first take my leave of them that are at my house.
62 Jesu akapindura akati, “Hakuna munhu anoti kana akaisa ruoko rwake pagejo akacheuka angafanirwa nokushumira muumambo hwaMwari.”
Jesus said to him: No man putting his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
