Ruka 9
1 Jesu akati aunganidza vane Gumi naVaviri vake pamwe chete, akavapa simba nechikuriri kuti vadzinge madhimoni uye vaporese vakanga vane zvirwere,
Having called together then the Twelve (disciples of him *K*) He gave to them power and authority over all the demons and diseases to heal
2 akavatuma kuti vandoparidza umambo hwaMwari uye vandoporesa vairwara.
and He sent them to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the (sick. *N(k)O*)
3 Akavarayira achiti, “Musatakura chinhu parwendo, mudonzvo, kana hombodo, kana chingwa, kana mari, kana imwe nguo.
and He said to them; Nothing do take for the journey; neither (staff *N(K)O*) nor bag nor bread nor money nor apiece two tunics to have.
4 Muimba ipi neipi yamunopinda, mugaremo kusvikira mabva muguta imomo.
And into whatever maybe house you may enter, there do remain and from there do go forth.
5 Kana vanhu vasingakugamuchiriyi, muzunze guruva retsoka dzenyu pamunenge mabuda muguta ravo, chive chapupu pamusoro pavo.”
And as many as (maybe *NK(o)*) not (shall receive *N(k)O*) you, going forth from the city that (and *k*) the dust from the feet of you (do shake off *N(k)O*) as a testimony against them.
6 Saka vakasimuka vakabuda vakaenda kumusha nomusha, vachiparidza vhangeri nokuporesa vanhu kwose kwose.
Going forth then they were passing through the villages evangelising and healing everywhere.
7 Zvino Herodhi mubati akanzwa pamusoro pezvose zvakanga zvichiitika. Akakanganisika, nokuti vamwe vakanga vachiti Johani akanga amutswa kubva kuvakafa,
Heard of now Herod the Tetrarch the [things] being done (by him *K*) all and was perplexed because of the saying by some that John (has been raised *N(k)O*) out from [the] dead,
8 vamwe vachiti Eria akanga aonekwa, uyezve vamwe vachiti mumwe wavaprofita vakare akanga amuka.
by some also that Elijah had appeared, by others also that a prophet (someone *N(k)O*) of the ancients had arisen.
9 Asi Herodhi akati, “Johani ndakamugura musoro. Zvino, ndianiko uyu wandinonzwa zvinhu zvakadai pamusoro pake?” Akaedza kuti amuone.
(and *k*) Said (then *no*) (*ko*) Herod; John I myself beheaded; who however is this concerning whom (I myself *ko*) I hear such things? And he was seeking to see Him.
10 Vapostori vakati vadzoka, vakarondedzera kuna Jesu zvavakanga vaita. Ipapo akavatora vakabva muchivande vakaenda kuguta rainzi Bhetisaidha,
And having returned the apostles related to Him as much as they had done. And having taken them He withdrew by in private into (place solitary *K*) (a town being called *N(k)O*) Bethsaida.
11 asi vazhinji vakazviziva vakamutevera. Akavagamuchira akataura kwavari nezvoumambo hwaMwari, akaporesa avo vakanga vachida kuporeswa.
The now crowds having known [it] they followed Him. and (having received *N(k)O*) them He was speaking to them concerning the kingdom of God, and those need having of healing He was 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.”
And the day began to decline. having come then the Twelve said to Him; do dismiss the crowd that (having travelled *N(k)O*) into the surrounding villages and (*ko*) countryside they may lodge and they may find provisions; for here in a desolate place we are.
13 Akavapindura akati, “Vapei imi zvokudya.” Ivo vakati, “Tinongova nezvingwa zvishanu nehove mbiri, kunze kwokunge tandotenga zvokudya zvavanhu vazhinji vose ava.”
He said now to them; do give to them you yourselves to eat. But they said; Not there are to us more than loaves five and fish two, except surely even having gone we ourselves shall buy for all people this food.
14 Pakanga pane varume vangasvika zviuru zvishanu. Asi iye akati kuvadzidzi vake, “Vagarisei pasi vari mumapoka avanhu vangasvika makumi mashanu paboka rimwe nerimwe.”
They were for about men five thousand. He said then to the disciples of Him; do make sit down them groups (of about *NO*) in fifty.
15 Vadzidzi vakaita saizvozvo, uye munhu wose akagara pasi.
And they did so and (he sat *N(K)O*) all.
16 Akati atora zvingwa zvishanu nehove mbiri akatarisa kudenga, akavonga ndokuzvimedura. Ipapo akazvipa kuvadzidzi kuti vaise pamberi pavanhu.
Having taken then the five loaves and the two fish, having looked up to the heaven He blessed them and broke [them] and He was giving [them] to the disciples (to set *N(k)O*) before the crowd.
17 Vose vakadya vakaguta, uye vadzidzi vakanonga matengu azere gumi namaviri ezvimedu zvakanga zvasara.
And they ate and were satisfied all, and was taken up that having been a surplus to them of fragments hand-baskets twelve.
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 happening He is praying in solitary were with Him the disciples, and He questioned them saying; Whom Me do pronounce the crowds to be?
19 Vakapindura vakati, “Vamwe vanoti Johani Mubhabhatidzi, vamwe vachiti Eria, uye vamwezve vachiti, mumwe wavaprofita vakare akamuka kubva kuvakafa.”
And answering they said; John the Baptist, others also Elijah, others now that a prophet one of the ancients has arisen.
20 Akati kwavari, “Asi, ko, imi munoti ndini ani?” Petro akapindura akati, “Ndimi Kristu waMwari.”
He said then to them; You yourselves however whom Me do pronounce to be? (*k*) Peter then answering said; The Christ of God.
21 Jesu akavayambira zvikuru kuti varege kutaura izvi kuna ani zvake.
And having strictly warned to them He instructed [them] to no one (to tell *N(k)O*) this
22 Akatizve, “Mwanakomana woMunhu anofanira kutambudzika pazvinhu zvizhinji agorambwa navakuru, vaprista vakuru navadzidzisi vomurayiro, uye anofanira kuurayiwa agomuka pazuva retatu.”
having said that It is necessary for the Son of Man many things to suffer and to be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes and to be killed and on the third day (to be raised. *NK(o)*)
23 Ipapo akati kwavari vose, “Kana munhu achida kunditevera, anofanira kuzviramba atore muchinjikwa wake zuva rimwe nerimwe agonditevera.
He was saying then to all; If anyone desires after Me (to come, he should deny *N(k)O*) himself and he should take up the cross of him every day and he should follow Me.
24 Nokuti ani naani anoda kuponesa upenyu hwake acharasikirwa nahwo, asi ani naani anorasikirwa noupenyu hwake nokuda kwangu achahuponesa.
Who[ever] for (maybe *NK(o)*) shall desire the life of him to save, will lose it; who[ever] however maybe may lose the life of him on account of me, he will save it.
25 Ko, munhu achabatsirwei kana akawana nyika yose, asi agorasikirwa noupenyu hwake.
What for is profited a man having gained the world whole himself now having destroyed or having suffered the loss of?
26 Kana munhu akanyara pamusoro pangu namashoko angu, Mwanakomana woMunhu achanyarawo pamusoro pake paanouya mukubwinya nomukubwinya kwaBaba nokwavatumwa vatsvene.
Who[ever] for maybe may have been ashamed of Me and My words, him the Son of Man will be ashamed of when He may come in the glory of Himself and of the Father and of the holy angels.
27 Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, kuti vamwe vamire pano havazofi vasati vaona umambo hwaMwari.”
I say now to you truthfully there are some of those (there *N(k)O*) already standing who certainly not (may taste *N(k)O*) of death until maybe they may have seen 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 came to pass now after sayings these about days eight, and having taken (*k*) Peter and John and James He went up on the mountain to pray.
29 Akati achinyengetera, kuonekwa kwechiso chake kwakashanduka, nguo dzake dzikachena dzikapenya sokupenya kwemheni.
And it came to pass during praying by Him the appearance of the face of Him [was] altered, and the clothing of Him white became dazzling.
30 Varume vaviri, Mozisi naEria,
And behold men two were talking with Him who were Moses and Elijah;
31 vakaonekwa vari mukubwinya, vachitaura naJesu. Vakataura pamusoro pokuzoenda kwake, kwaakanga ondozadzisa paJerusarema.
Those having appeared in glory were speaking of the going out of Him which He was soon to accomplish in Jerusalem.
32 Petro navaaiva navo vakanga vava kubatwa nehope, asi vakati vanyatsomuka, vakaona kubwinya kwake uye varume vaviri vamire naye.
And Peter and those with him were wearied with sleep. having awoken fully then they saw the glory of Him and the two men who already standing 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 in the departing of them from Him said Peter to Jesus; Master, good it is for us here to be, also let us make tabernacles three, one for You and one for Moses and one for Elijah; not knowing what he is saying.
34 Akati achiri kutaura izvi, gore rakasvika rikavafukidza, uye vakatya pavakapinda mugore.
These things then when he is saying came a cloud and (was overshadowing *N(k)O*) them. they feared then in the entering (of them *N(k)O*) 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 the Son of Mine the (chosen, *N(K)O*) to Him do listen.
36 Inzwi rakati rataura izvozvo, vakaona Jesu ava oga. Vadzidzi vakanyarara, vakasaudza munhu zvavakanga vaona panguva iyoyo.
And as happening the voice was found (*k*) Jesus alone. And they themselves were silent and to no [one] they told in those the days no [thing] of what they have seen.
37 Fume mangwana, pavakaburuka mugomo, vazhinji zhinji vakasangana naye.
It came to pass then (in *ko*) the next day when were descending they from the mountain met with Him a crowd great.
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 from the crowd (cried *N(k)O*) saying; Teacher, I implore You (to look *N(k)O*) upon the son of mine for an only child to me he is;
39 Mweya wakaipa unomubata pakarepo oridza mhere; wobva womubvundisa achipupuma furo pamuromo. Haudi kumuregedza uye unomuparadza.
And behold a spirit takes him and suddenly he cries out and it throws into convulsions him with foaming and (with difficulty *NK(o)*) it departs from him bruising him.
40 Ndakakumbira vadzidzi venyu kuti vaudzinge, asi vakasagona.”
And I begged the disciples of You that (they may cast out *N(k)O*) it, and not they were able.
41 Jesu akapindura akati, “Haiwa rudzi rusingatendi, rwakatsauka, ndichagara nemi kusvikira riniko ndichikuitirai mwoyo murefu? Uyai pano nomwanakomana wenyu.”
Answering now Jesus said, O generation unbelieving and perverted, until when will I be with you and I will bear with you? do bring here the son of you.
42 Kunyange pakanga pachiuya mukomana, dhimoni rakamuwisira pasi rikamubvundisa. Asi akarayira mweya wakaipa, akaporesa mukomana ndokubva amudzosera kuna baba vake.
While then when is coming near he threw down him the demon and threw [him] into convulsions. Rebuked then Jesus the spirit unclean and healed the boy and gave back him to the father of him.
43 Uye vose vakashamiswa noukuru hwaMwari. Vanhu vose pavakanga vachakashamiswa nezvose zvakanga zvaitwa naJesu, akati kuvadzidzi vake,
Were astonished then all at the majesty of God. Of all however wondering at all which (was doing *N(k)O*) (*k*) (Jesus *K*) He said to the disciples of Him;
44 “Teereresai kune zvandiri kuda kukutaurirai: Mwanakomana woMunhu ava kuzopandukirwa agoiswa mumaoko avanhu.”
do implant in yourself you yourselves into the ears of you words these; for the Son of Man is soon to be betrayed 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 were not understanding declaration this, and it was veiled from them that not they may understand it. And they were afraid to ask Him concerning declaration this.
46 Nharo dzakatanga pakati pavadzidzi dzokuti mukuru ndiani.
Came up then an argument among them this who maybe would be greater of them.
47 Jesu, achiziva kufunga kwavo, akatora mwana muduku ndokumumisa parutivi rwake.
But Jesus (knowing *N(k)O*) the reasoning of the heart of them, having taken hold of (a child *N(k)O*) set it by Himself
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 He said to them; Who[ever] (maybe *NK(o)*) shall receive this child in the name of Me, Me myself receives; and who[ever] (maybe *N(k)O*) Me myself shall receive, receives the [One] having sent Me. The [one] for least among all you being he (is *N(k)O*) great.
49 Johani akati, “Tenzi, takaona mumwe murume achidzinga madhimoni muzita renyu uye tikaedza kumudzivisa, nokuti haazi mumwe wedu.”
Answering now (*k*) John said; Master, we saw someone (in *N(k)O*) the name of You casting out demons and (we were forbidding *N(k)O*) him because not he follows with us.
50 Jesu akati, “Musamudzivisa, nokuti ani naani asingapesani nemi ndowenyu.”
(and *k*) Said (then *no*) to him Jesus; Not do forbid; who[ever] for not is against (you *N(K)O*) for (you *N(K)O*) is.
51 Nguva yakati yasvika yokuti akwidzwe kudenga, Jesu akafunga zvokuenda kuJerusarema.
It came to pass then in the completing the days of the ascension of Him that He himself the face (of him *ko*) steadfastly set to go to Jerusalem.
52 Uye akatuma nhume pamberi pake, dzikapinda mumusha weSamaria kundofanomugadzirira zvinhu;
And He sent messengers before [the] face of Him. And having gone they entered into a village of the Samaritans (so as *N(k)O*) to make ready for Him.
53 asi vanhu voko havana kumugamuchira, nokuti akanga ava kuenda kuJerusarema.
And not they did receive Him because the face of Him was [as] going toward Jerusalem.
54 Vadzidzi Jakobho naJohani vakati vaona izvi, vakabvunza vakati, “Ishe, munoda here kuti tidane moto uburuke kubva kudenga kuti uvaparadze?”
Having seen [it] now the disciples (of him *ko*) James and John said; Lord, do you want [that] we may call fire to come down from heaven and to consume them (as and Elijah did? *K*)
55 Asi Jesu akatendeuka akavatsiura,
Having turned then He rebuked them (and said not you know such as spirit are you yourselves. *K*)
56 uye akabva akaenda kuno mumwe musha.
(for the son of man not came souls of men to destroy but to save. *K*) and they went to another village.
57 Vakati vachifamba mumugwagwa, mumwe murume akati, “Ndichakuteverai kwose kwamunoenda.”
(And *no*) (it came to pass *KO*) (now *k*) when are going they along the road said someone to Him; I will follow You wherever (maybe *N(k)O*) You shall go (Lord. *K*)
58 Jesu akapindura akati, “Makava ane mwena yawo uye shiri dzedenga dzine matendere adzo, asi Mwanakomana woMunhu haana paangatsamidza musoro wake.”
And said to him Jesus; The foxes holes have, and the birds of the air nests; but the Son of Man not has where the head He may lay.
59 Akati kuno mumwe murume, “Nditevere.” Asi murume uyu akapindura akati, “Ishe, nditenderei kuti ndinoviga baba vangu.”
He said then to another; do follow Me. But he said; Lord do allow me having gone away first to bury the father of mine.
60 Jesu akati kwaari, “Rega vakafa vavige vakafa vavo, asi iwe enda undoparidza umambo hwaMwari.”
He said then to him (*k*) (Jesus: *K*) do leave the dead to bury the their own dead. you yourself however having gone forth do declare the kingdom of God.
61 Mumwezve akati, “Ndichakuteverai, Ishe; asi kutanga regai ndimbondoonekana nemhuri yangu.”
Said then also another; I will follow You, Lord; first however do allow me to bid farewell to those at the home of mine.
62 Jesu akapindura akati, “Hakuna munhu anoti kana akaisa ruoko rwake pagejo akacheuka angafanirwa nokushumira muumambo hwaMwari.”
Said then to him Jesus: No [one] having laid the hand (of him *ko*) upon [the] plow and looking on the [things] back suitable is (for *k*) (the kingdom *N(k)O*) of God.
