Ruka 9
1 Jesu akati aunganidza vane Gumi naVaviri vake pamwe chete, akavapa simba nechikuriri kuti vadzinge madhimoni uye vaporese vakanga vane zvirwere,
He called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.
2 akavatuma kuti vandoparidza umambo hwaMwari uye vandoporesa vairwara.
He sent them forth to proclaim 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 pack, nor bread, nor money; neither have two tunics.
4 Muimba ipi neipi yamunopinda, mugaremo kusvikira mabva muguta imomo.
Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.
5 Kana vanhu vasingakugamuchiriyi, muzunze guruva retsoka dzenyu pamunenge mabuda muguta ravo, chive chapupu pamusoro pavo.”
As many as do not receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them."
6 Saka vakasimuka vakabuda vakaenda kumusha nomusha, vachiparidza vhangeri nokuporesa vanhu kwose kwose.
They departed, and went throughout the villages, proclaiming the Good News, and healing everywhere.
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 that was done; and he was very perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,
8 vamwe vachiti Eria akanga aonekwa, uyezve vamwe vachiti mumwe wavaprofita vakare akanga amuka.
and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.
9 Asi Herodhi akati, “Johani ndakamugura musoro. Zvino, ndianiko uyu wandinonzwa zvinhu zvakadai pamusoro pake?” Akaedza kuti amuone.
Herod said, "John I beheaded, but who is this, about whom I hear such things?" He sought to see him.
10 Vapostori vakati vadzoka, vakarondedzera kuna Jesu zvavakanga vaita. Ipapo akavatora vakabva muchivande vakaenda kuguta rainzi Bhetisaidha,
The emissaries, when they had returned, told him what things they had done. He took them, and withdrew apart to a city called Beit Tzaidah.
11 asi vazhinji vakazviziva vakamutevera. Akavagamuchira akataura kwavari nezvoumambo hwaMwari, akaporesa avo vakanga vachida kuporeswa.
But the crowds, perceiving it, followed him. He welcomed them, and spoke to them of the Kingdom of God, and he cured those who needed 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.”
The day began to wear away; and the twelve came, and said to him, "Send the crowd away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and farms, and lodge, and get food, for we are here in a deserted 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, "You give them something to eat." They said, "We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we should go and buy food for all these people."
14 Pakanga pane varume vangasvika zviuru zvishanu. Asi iye akati kuvadzidzi vake, “Vagarisei pasi vari mumapoka avanhu vangasvika makumi mashanu paboka rimwe nerimwe.”
For they were about five thousand men. He said to his talmidim, "Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each."
15 Vadzidzi vakaita saizvozvo, uye munhu wose akagara pasi.
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.
He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to the sky, he blessed them, and broke them, and gave them to the talmidim to set before the crowd.
17 Vose vakadya vakaguta, uye vadzidzi vakanonga matengu azere gumi namaviri ezvimedu zvakanga zvasara.
They ate, and were all filled. They gathered up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
18 Rimwe zuva Jesu akati achinyengetera ari oga uye vadzidzi vake vakanga vanaye, akavabvunza akati, “Vanhu vazhinji vanoti ndini aniko?”
It happened, as he was praying alone, that the talmidim were with him, and he asked them, "Who do the crowds say that I am?"
19 Vakapindura vakati, “Vamwe vanoti Johani Mubhabhatidzi, vamwe vachiti Eria, uye vamwezve vachiti, mumwe wavaprofita vakare akamuka kubva kuvakafa.”
They answered, "'John the Immerser,' but others say, 'Elijah,' and others, that one of the old prophets is risen again."
20 Akati kwavari, “Asi, ko, imi munoti ndini ani?” Petro akapindura akati, “Ndimi Kristu waMwari.”
He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered, "The Messiah of God."
21 Jesu akavayambira zvikuru kuti varege kutaura izvi kuna ani zvake.
But he warned them, and commanded them to tell this to no one,
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 elders, chief cohanim, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up."
23 Ipapo akati kwavari vose, “Kana munhu achida kunditevera, anofanira kuzviramba atore muchinjikwa wake zuva rimwe nerimwe agonditevera.
He said to all, "If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, 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 whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake, the same will save it.
25 Ko, munhu achabatsirwei kana akawana nyika yose, asi agorasikirwa noupenyu hwake.
For what does it profit a person if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?
26 Kana munhu akanyara pamusoro pangu namashoko angu, Mwanakomana woMunhu achanyarawo pamusoro pake paanouya mukubwinya nomukubwinya kwaBaba nokwavatumwa vatsvene.
For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed, when he comes in his glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.
27 Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, kuti vamwe vamire pano havazofi vasati vaona umambo hwaMwari.”
But I tell you the truth: There are some of those who stand here, who will in no way taste of death, until 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.
It happened about eight days after these sayings, that he took with him Peter, John, and Jacob, and went up onto the mountain to pray.
29 Akati achinyengetera, kuonekwa kwechiso chake kwakashanduka, nguo dzake dzikachena dzikapenya sokupenya kwemheni.
As he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became white and dazzling.
30 Varume vaviri, Mozisi naEria,
And look, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah,
31 vakaonekwa vari mukubwinya, vachitaura naJesu. Vakataura pamusoro pokuzoenda kwake, kwaakanga ondozadzisa paJerusarema.
who appeared in glory, and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
32 Petro navaaiva navo vakanga vava kubatwa nehope, asi vakati vanyatsomuka, vakaona kubwinya kwake uye varume vaviri vamire naye.
Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men who 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.
It happened, as they were parting from him, that Peter said to Yeshua, "Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three tents: one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah," not knowing what he said.
34 Akati achiri kutaura izvi, gore rakasvika rikavafukidza, uye vakatya pavakapinda mugore.
While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.
35 Inzwi rakabva mugore, rikati, “Uyu ndiye Mwanakomana wangu, musanangurwa wangu; muteererei.”
A voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is my Son, my Chosen One. Listen to him."
36 Inzwi rakati rataura izvozvo, vakaona Jesu ava oga. Vadzidzi vakanyarara, vakasaudza munhu zvavakanga vaona panguva iyoyo.
When the voice came, Yeshua was found alone. They were silent, and told no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.
37 Fume mangwana, pavakaburuka mugomo, vazhinji zhinji vakasangana naye.
It happened on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, that a large crowd met him.
38 Mumwe murume akanga ari pakati pavanhu vazhinji akadanidzira achiti, “Mudzidzisi, ndinokukumbirai kuti muonewo mwanakomana wangu, nokuti ndiye oga mwana wangu.
And look, a man from the crowd called out, saying, "Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child.
39 Mweya wakaipa unomubata pakarepo oridza mhere; wobva womubvundisa achipupuma furo pamuromo. Haudi kumuregedza uye unomuparadza.
And look, a spirit seizes him, and all at once he cries out, and it convulses him so that he foams, and it hardly departs from him, bruising him severely.
40 Ndakakumbira vadzidzi venyu kuti vaudzinge, asi vakasagona.”
I begged your talmidim to cast it out, and they could not."
41 Jesu akapindura akati, “Haiwa rudzi rusingatendi, rwakatsauka, ndichagara nemi kusvikira riniko ndichikuitirai mwoyo murefu? Uyai pano nomwanakomana wenyu.”
Yeshua answered, "Faithless and perverse generation, how long must I be with you and put up with you? Bring your son here."
42 Kunyange pakanga pachiuya mukomana, dhimoni rakamuwisira pasi rikamubvundisa. Asi akarayira mweya wakaipa, akaporesa mukomana ndokubva amudzosera kuna baba vake.
While he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him violently. But Yeshua rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
43 Uye vose vakashamiswa noukuru hwaMwari. Vanhu vose pavakanga vachakashamiswa nezvose zvakanga zvaitwa naJesu, akati kuvadzidzi vake,
They were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the things which Yeshua did, he said to his talmidim,
44 “Teereresai kune zvandiri kuda kukutaurirai: Mwanakomana woMunhu ava kuzopandukirwa agoiswa mumaoko avanhu.”
"Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up 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 did not understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
46 Nharo dzakatanga pakati pavadzidzi dzokuti mukuru ndiani.
There arose an argument among them about which of them was the greatest.
47 Jesu, achiziva kufunga kwavo, akatora mwana muduku ndokumumisa parutivi rwake.
Yeshua, knowing the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,
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, "Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least among you all, this one is great."
49 Johani akati, “Tenzi, takaona mumwe murume achidzinga madhimoni muzita renyu uye tikaedza kumudzivisa, nokuti haazi mumwe wedu.”
John answered, "Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he does not follow with us."
50 Jesu akati, “Musamudzivisa, nokuti ani naani asingapesani nemi ndowenyu.”
Yeshua said to him, "Do not forbid him, for he who is not against you is for you."
51 Nguva yakati yasvika yokuti akwidzwe kudenga, Jesu akafunga zvokuenda kuJerusarema.
It came to pass, when the days were near that he should be taken up, he intently set his face to go to Jerusalem,
52 Uye akatuma nhume pamberi pake, dzikapinda mumusha weSamaria kundofanomugadzirira zvinhu;
and sent messengers before his face. They went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for him.
53 asi vanhu voko havana kumugamuchira, nokuti akanga ava kuenda kuJerusarema.
But they did not receive him, because he was traveling with his face set towards Jerusalem.
54 Vadzidzi Jakobho naJohani vakati vaona izvi, vakabvunza vakati, “Ishe, munoda here kuti tidane moto uburuke kubva kudenga kuti uvaparadze?”
When his talmidim, Jacob and John, saw this, they said, "Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky, and consume them?"
55 Asi Jesu akatendeuka akavatsiura,
And he turned and rebuked them, and said, "You do not realize what kind of Ruach you belong to.
56 uye akabva akaenda kuno mumwe musha.
For the Son of Man did not come to destroy people's lives, but to save them." And they went to another village.
57 Vakati vachifamba mumugwagwa, mumwe murume akati, “Ndichakuteverai kwose kwamunoenda.”
As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, "I want to follow you wherever you go."
58 Jesu akapindura akati, “Makava ane mwena yawo uye shiri dzedenga dzine matendere adzo, asi Mwanakomana woMunhu haana paangatsamidza musoro wake.”
And Yeshua said to him, "The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head."
59 Akati kuno mumwe murume, “Nditevere.” Asi murume uyu akapindura akati, “Ishe, nditenderei kuti ndinoviga baba vangu.”
He said to another, "Follow me." But he said, "Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father."
60 Jesu akati kwaari, “Rega vakafa vavige vakafa vavo, asi iwe enda undoparidza umambo hwaMwari.”
But Yeshua said to him, "Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce the Kingdom of God."
61 Mumwezve akati, “Ndichakuteverai, Ishe; asi kutanga regai ndimbondoonekana nemhuri yangu.”
Another also said, "I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to bid farewell to those who are at my house."
62 Jesu akapindura akati, “Hakuna munhu anoti kana akaisa ruoko rwake pagejo akacheuka angafanirwa nokushumira muumambo hwaMwari.”
But Yeshua said to him, "No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God."
