Mako 10
1 Uye Jesu akabva panzvimbo iyoyo akaenda munyika yeJudhea uye akayambuka mhiri kweJorodhani. Vanhu vazhinji vakauyazve kwaari, uye sezvayakanga iri tsika yake, akavadzidzisa.
Jesus left (that place/Capernaum) [with his disciples], and they went through Judea district and on across [to the east side of] the Jordan [River]. When crowds gathered around him again, he taught them again, as he customarily did.
2 Vamwe vaFarisi vakauya vakamuedza nokumubvunza vachiti, “Zvinotenderwa here kuti munhu arambe mukadzi wake?”
[While he was teaching them, some] Pharisees approached him and asked him, “Does [our Jewish] law permit a man to divorce his wife?” They asked that in order to be able to criticize him [whether he answered “yes” or “no”].
3 Iye akati, “Mozisi akakurayirai kuti kudiniko?”
He answered them, “What did Moses command your [ancestors about a man divorcing his wife]?”
4 Ivo vakati, “Mozisi akatendera murume kuti anyore tsamba yokurambana uye agomuendesa.”
[One of] them replied, “Moses permitted that a man may write on paper [his reason] for divorcing [his wife], [give this paper to her], and then send her away.”
5 Jesu akapindura akati, “Nokuti mwoyo yenyu yakanga iri mikukutu, Mozisi akakunyorerai murayiro uyu.
Jesus said to them, “It was because your [ancestors] stubbornly wanted just what they desired that Moses wrote that law for [your ancestors], and you [are just like them]!
6 Asi kubvira kumavambo okusikwa kwezvinhu, Mwari ‘akavaita murume nomukadzi.’
[Remember] that he [also wrote that, when God] first created [people], he made [one] man, and [one] woman [to become that man’s wife].
7 Nokuda kwaizvozvi, murume achasiya baba vake namai vake uye agonamatira kumukadzi wake,
That explains why [God said], ‘When a man [and] woman marry, they should no longer live with their fathers and mothers [after they marry].
8 uye vaviri ava vachava nyama imwe. Saka havachisiri vaviri, asi nyama imwe.
Instead, the two of them shall [live together, and they shall] become so [closely united] [MET] [that they are like] one person.’ Therefore, although the people [who marry] were two [separate persons] before, [God regards them] as one person now, [so he wants them to remain married].
9 Naizvozvo izvo zvabatanidzwa naMwari, munhu ngaarege kuzviparadzanisa.”
Because that is true, a man must not separate from his [wife] whom God has joined [to him, because God’s plan is for them to remain together]!”
10 Vakati vapindazve mumba, vadzidzi vakabvunza Jesu pamusoro paizvozvi.
When Jesus and his disciples were alone in a house, they asked him again about this.
11 Akapindura akati, “Ani naani anoramba mukadzi wake uye akawana mumwe mukadzi, ava kuita upombwe naye.
He said to them, “[God considers that a marriage lasts until either the husband or the wife dies, so he considers] that any man who divorces his wife and marries another woman is committing adultery, [even] if he divorces his first wife.
12 Uye kana iye akarambawo murume wake uye akawanikwa nomumwe murume, anoita upombwe naye.”
[God also considers] a woman who divorces her first husband to be committing adultery if she marries another man.”
13 Vanhu vakanga vachiuya navana vaduku kuna Jesu kuti avabate, asi vadzidzi vakavatsiura.
[One day], some people were bringing children to Jesus in order that he would touch [and bless] them. But the disciples scolded those people [because they thought that Jesus] ([did not want to be bothered spending time with/was not concerned about]) [children].
14 Jesu paakazviona, akatsamwa. Akati kwavari, “Regai vana vaduku vauye kwandiri, uye musavadzivisa, nokuti umambo hwaMwari ndohwavakadai.
When Jesus saw that, he became angry. He said to the [disciples], “Allow the children to come to me! Do not forbid them [DOU]! It is people who [are humble and trust as they do] who can experience (God’s rule [in their lives]/God taking care of them) [MET].
15 Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, ani naani asingagamuchiri umambo hwaMwari somwana muduku haangatongopindi mahuri.”
Note this: Those who do not [trustingly] allow God to direct [their lives], as children [do], will not enter the place where God rules.”
16 Ipapo akatora vana akavafungatira mumaoko ake, akaisa maoko ake pamusoro pavo akavaropafadza.
Then he embraced the children. He also put his hands on them [and asked God to] bless them.
17 Jesu akati achifamba munzira, mumwe murume akamhanyira kwaari akawira pasi namabvi ake pamberi pake. Akabvunza akati, “Mudzidzisi akanaka, ndinofanira kuiteiko kuti ndigare nhaka youpenyu husingaperi?” (aiōnios g166)
As Jesus was starting to travel [again with his disciples], a [young] man ran up to him. He knelt before Jesus and then he asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to have eternal life/in order to live [with God] eternally?” (aiōnios g166)
18 Jesu akapindura akati, “Unondiidzireiko akanaka? Hakuna munhu akanaka kunze kwaMwari oga.
Jesus said to him, “(You should consider carefully [what you are implying] (OR, [that you are implying that I am God]) [by] calling me good, because only God is good!/Do you realize [what you are implying] (OR, [that you are implying that I am God]) [by] calling me good, because only God is good?) [RHQ] No other person is good
19 Mirayiro unoiziva here inoti: ‘Usauraya, usaita upombwe, usaba, usapupura nhema, usanyengera, kudza baba vako namai vako.’”
[But to answer your question], you know the commandments [of Moses, which will cause you to live eternally if you obey them perfectly]. He commanded [things such as] ‘do not murder anyone, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not (testify falsely/lie), do not cheat anyone, and honor your father and mother’.”
20 Iye akati, “Mudzidzisi, izvi zvose ndakazvichengeta kubvira ndichiri mukomana.”
The man said to him, “Teacher, I have obeyed all those commandments ever since I was young. [So is] ([that enough/there something else that I have not done])?”
21 Jesu akamutarira uye akamuda, akati kwaari, “Unoshayiwa chinhu chimwe chete. Enda undotengesa zvinhu zvose zvaunazvo upe kuvarombo, ugova nepfuma kudenga. Ipapo ugouya, unditevere.”
Jesus looked at him and loved him. He said to him, “There is one thing that you have not [yet done]. You must go [home], sell all that you possess, and then give [the money] to poor people. [As a result], you will be spiritually rich in heaven. After [you have done what I have told you], come with me [and be my disciple]!”
22 Anzwa izvi akasuwa kwazvo. Akaenda akasuwa, nokuti akanga ane pfuma zhinji.
The man became disappointed when he heard that. He went away sad, because he was very rich [and he did not want to give away everything].
23 Jesu akatarira-tarira ndokuti kuvadzidzi vake, “Zvakaoma sei kuti mupfumi apinde muumambo hwaMwari!”
Jesus looked around [at the people]. Then he exclaimed to his disciples, “It is very difficult for people who are wealthy to [decide to] let God rule their lives!”
24 Vadzidzi vakashamiswa namashoko ake. Asi Jesu akatizve, “Vana, zvakaoma sei kupinda muumambo hwaMwari!
The disciples were surprised at what he said. [They thought that God favored the rich people, so if God did not save them, he would not save anyone]. So Jesus replied again to them, “My dear friends, it is very difficult for anyone [to decide] to let God rule his life.
25 Zviri nyore kuti ngamera ipinde napaburi retsono pano kuti mupfumi apinde muumambo hwaMwari.”
It is impossible for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. It is almost as difficult [HYP] for rich people [to decide] to let God rule their [lives].”
26 Vadzidzi vakanyanya kushamiswa, uye vakati pakati pavo, “Zvino ndianiko angaponeswa?”
The disciples were very astonished. So they said to each other, “If that is so, (it will be unlikely that anyone will be saved {that God will save anyone}!/will [God] save anyone?) [RHQ]”
27 Jesu akatarisa kwavari akati, “Kumunhu hazvigoneki, asi kwete naMwari; zvinhu zvose zvinogoneka kuna Mwari.”
Jesus looked at them and then he said, “[Yes], it is impossible for people [to save themselves]! But God certainly can [save them], because God can do anything!”
28 Petro akati kwaari, “Isu takasiya zvinhu zvose kuti tikuteverei!”
Peter exclaimed, “[You know that] we have left behind everything and we have become your disciples. [So], ([what about us/will God (accept us/reward us)])?”
29 Jesu akapindura akati, “Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, hakuna munhu akasiya musha, kana vanunʼuna kana hanzvadzi kana mai kana baba kana vana kana minda nokuda kwangu uye nokuda kwevhangeri
Jesus replied, “I want you to know this: Those who have left [their] houses, [their] brothers, [their] sisters, [their] father, [their] mother, [their] children, or [their] plots of ground, to [be] my [disciples] and to [proclaim] the good news,
30 achakundikana kugamuchira zvakawanda kakapetwa kazana munguva ino (misha, vanunʼuna, hanzvadzi, vanamai, vana neminda, uye pamwe chete naizvozvo, kutambudzika) uye panguva inouya, upenyu husingaperi. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
will receive in this life 100 times as much [as they left behind. That will include houses and people as dear as] brothers and sisters and mothers and children, and plots of ground. Furthermore, although people will persecute them [here on earth because they believe in me], in the future age [they] will ([have] eternal life/live [with God] eternally). (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
31 Asi vazhinji vanova vokutanga ndivo vachava vokupedzisira, uye vokupedzisira vachava vokutanga.”
But I [warn you all]: Many of you who [now consider yourselves] to be very important will be unimportant [at that future time], and many of you who [now consider yourselves] to be unimportant will be very important [at that future time]!”
32 Vakanga vari munzira vachikwidza kuenda kuJerusarema, Jesu achivatungamirira, uye vadzidzi vakakatyamara, asi vaya vakanga vachitevera vakanga vachitya. Akatorazve vane gumi navaviri vari voga uye akavaudza zvaizoitika kwaari.
[Some days later as they continued to travel], Jesus and his disciples were walking on the road that leads up to Jerusalem [city]. Jesus was walking ahead of them. [The disciples/apostles] were astonished [that he was going to where there were many people who opposed him], and the other people who were with them were afraid [about what would happen to him in Jerusalem. Along the way he took the twelve disciples to a place by themselves]. Then he began to tell them again about what was going to happen to him, saying,
33 Akati, “Tiri kuenda kuJerusarema, uye Mwanakomana woMunhu achapandukirwa agoiswa kuvaprista vakuru navadzidzisi vomurayiro. Vachamutongera rufu uye vachamuisa mumaoko eveDzimwe Ndudzi,
“Listen carefully! We are going up to Jerusalem. There the chief priests and the men who teach the Jewish laws will be enabled {someone will help the chief priests and those who teach our [Jewish] laws} to seize me. Then they will declare that I must die, [even though] I am the one who came from heaven. Then they will take me to the Roman [authorities].
34 avo vachamuseka uye vagomupfira mate, vachamurova uye vagomuuraya. Shure kwamazuva matatu, achamuka.”
Those men will ridicule me. They will spit on me. They will (scourge me/whip me with a leaded whip.) Then they will kill me. But on the third day after that, I will become alive again!”
35 Ipapo Jakobho naJohani vanakomana vaZebhedhi, vakauya kwaari, vakati, “Mudzidzisi, tinoda kuti mutiitire zvose zvose zvatinokumbira.”
[Along the way], James and John, [who were] the two sons of Zebedee, approached Jesus and they said to him, “Teacher, please do for us what we will ask you to do!”
36 Akavabvunza akati, “Munoda kuti ndikuitireiko?”
He said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?”
37 Vakapindura vakati, “Titenderei kuti mumwe wedu agare kuruoko rwenyu rworudyi uye mumwe kuruboshwe rwenyu mukubwinya kwenyu.”
They said to him, “When you [rule] gloriously, [let us rule with you]. Let one of us [sit] at your right side and one sit at your left side.”
38 Jesu akati, “Hamuzivi zvamunokumbira. Mungagona here kunwa mukombe wandinonwa kana kubhabhatidzwa norubhabhatidzo rwandinobhabhatidzwa narwo?”
But Jesus said to them, “You do not understand what you are asking for.” Then he asked them, “Can you endure suffering [MTY] like I am about to suffer? Can you endure being killed [MTY] as I will be killed {people killing you as they will kill me}?”
39 Vakapindura vakati, “Tinogona.” Jesu akati, “Muchanwa mukombe wandinonwa uye muchabhabhatidzwa norubhabhatidzo rwandinobhabhatidzwa narwo,
They said to him, “[Yes], we are able [to do that]!” Then Jesus said to them, “[It is true that] you will endure suffering [MTY] like I will suffer, and you will endure being killed as I will be killed {people killing you as they will kill me}.
40 asi zvokugara kuruoko rwangu rworudyi kana kuruboshwe handisini ndinozvipa. Nzvimbo idzi ndedzavaya vakadzigadzirirwa.”
But I am not the one who chooses the ones who will sit next to me [and rule with me. God will give] those places to the ones he appoints.”
41 Vane gumi vakati vanzwa izvi, vakatsamwira Jakobho naJohani.
The [other] ten [disciples later] heard about what James and John [had requested]. As a result, they were angry with them [because they also wanted to rule with Jesus in the highest positions].
42 Jesu akavadana pamwe chete akati, “Munoziva kuti vaya vanonzi vatongi neveDzimwe Ndudzi vanotonga pamusoro pavo, uye vabati vavo vakuru vanoshandisa simba pamusoro pavo.
Then, after Jesus called them all together, he said to them, “You know that those who rule the non-Jews [enjoy] showing that they are powerful. You also know that officials enjoy commanding others.
43 Hazvina kudaro pakati penyu. Pachinzvimbo chaizvozvo, ani naani anoda kuva mukuru pakati penyu anofanira kuva muranda wenyu,
But do not be like them! On the contrary, all those among you who want [God to consider them] great must become [like] servants to [the rest of] you.
44 uye ani naani anoda kuva wokutanga anofanira kuva nhapwa yavose.
Furthermore, if anyone among you wants [God to consider him] to be the most important, he must [act like] a servant for the rest of you.
45 Nokuti kunyange Mwanakomana woMunhu haana kuuya kuzoshumirwa, asi kuzoshumira uye nokupa upenyu hwake kuti huve rudzikinuro rwavazhinji.”
[You should imitate me]. Even though I am the one who has come from heaven, I did not come to be served {for others to serve me}. On the contrary, I came in order to serve others and to allow others to kill me, in order that my dying for people would be like a payment to rescue [many people from being punished] {[God punishing them]} [for their sins].”
46 Ipapo vakasvika kuJeriko. Jesu navadzidzi vake, pamwe chete navanhu vazhinji, vakati vobuda muguta, Bhatimeo, murume akanga ari bofu, (ndiye mwanakomana waTimeo), akanga agere parutivi penzira achipemha.
[On the way to Jerusalem, Jesus and the disciples came to Jericho town]. Afterwards, while they were leaving Jericho along with a great crowd, a blind man who habitually begged [for money] was sitting beside the road. His name was Bartimaeus and his father’s name was Timaeus.
47 Paakanzwa kuti akanga ari Jesu weNazareta, akatanga kudanidzira achiti, “Mwanakomana waDhavhidhi, ndinzwirei ngoni!”
When he heard people say that Jesus from Nazareth [was passing by], he shouted, “Jesus! [You who are the Messiah] descended from [King] David, (be merciful to/help) me!”
48 Vazhinji vakamutsiura uye vakamutaurira kuti anyarare, asi akanyanyisa kudanidzira achiti, “Mwanakomana waDhavhidhi, ndinzwirei ngoni!”
Many people rebuked him and told him that he should be quiet. But he shouted even more, “[You who are the Messiah] descended from [King David], (be merciful to/help) me!”
49 Jesu akamira akati, “Mudanei.” Saka vakadana murume uya bofu vakati, “Tsunga mwoyo! Simuka! Anokudana.”
Jesus stopped and said, “Call him [to come over here]!” They summoned the blind man, saying, “Jesus is calling you! So cheer up and get up [and come]!”
50 Akakanda jasi rake parutivi, akakwakuka akauya kuna Jesu.
He threw aside his cloak as he jumped up, and he came to Jesus.
51 Jesu akamubvunza akati, “Unoda kuti ndikuitirei?” Murume uya bofu akati, “Rabhi, ndinoda kuona.”
Jesus asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” The blind man said to him, “Sir, I [want to be able] to see again!”
52 Jesu akati, “Enda hako, kutenda kwako kwakuporesa.” Pakarepo meso ake akasvinudzwa uye akatevera Jesu munzira.
Jesus said to him, “[I am] healing you [because] you believed [in me]. So you may go [home]!” He could see immediately. And he went with Jesus along the road.
