Mako 11
1 Pavakanga vava kusvika kuJerusarema uye vasvika kuBhetifage neBhetani paGomo reMiorivhi, Jesu akatuma vaviri vavadzidzi vake,
As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent out two of His disciples
2 achiti kwavari, “Endai mumusha wakatarisana nemi. Pamunongopinda mauri, muchawana mwana wembongoro asina kumbotasvwa nomunhu, akasungirirwa ipapo. Mumusunungure mugouya naye pano.
and said to them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and as soon as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.
3 Kana mukabvunzwa nomunhu kuti, ‘Seiko muchiita izvi?’ muti kwaari, ‘Ishe anomuda uye achamudzosa pano nokukurumidza.’”
If anyone asks, ‘Why are you doing this?’ tell him, ‘The Lord needs it and will return it shortly.’”
4 Vakaenda vakandowana mwana wembongoro ari kunze munzira yomumusha, akasungirirwa pamukova. Pavakamusunungura,
So they went and found the colt outside in the street, tied at a doorway. They untied it,
5 vamwe vanhu vakanga vamirepo vakabvunza vakati, “Muri kuitei, muchisunungura mwana wembongoro uyo?”
and some who were standing there asked, “Why are you untying the colt?”
6 Vakapindura sezvavakanga vaudzwa naJesu, uye vanhu vakavarega vachienda.
The disciples answered as Jesus had instructed them, and the people gave them permission.
7 Vakauya nembongoro iyi kuna Jesu vakakanda majasi avo pamusoro payo, iye akagara pairi.
Then they led the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, and He sat on it.
8 Vanhu vazhinji vakawaridza majasi avo mumigwagwa, vamwe vakawaridza matavi avakanga vatema musango.
Many in the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they had cut from the fields.
9 Vakanga vari mberi navaya vaitevera vakadanidzira vachiti: “Hosana!” “Akaropafadzwa uyo anouya muzita raShe!”
The ones who went ahead and those who followed were shouting: “Hosanna!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!”
10 “Hwakaropafadzwa umambo hunouya, hwababa vedu Dhavhidhi!” “Hosana kumusoro-soro!”
“Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!” “Hosanna in the highest!”
11 Jesu akapinda muJerusarema uye akaenda kutemberi. Akatarisa-tarisa zvinhu zvose, asi sezvo kwakanga kwadoka, akabuda akaenda kuBhetani navane gumi navaviri.
Then Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple courts. He looked around at everything, but since it was already late, He went out to Bethany with the Twelve.
12 Fume mangwana pavakanga vobva kuBhetani, Jesu akanzwa nzara.
The next day, when they had left Bethany, Jesus was hungry.
13 Akaona muonde uri kure una mashizha, akaenda kundoona kana wakanga une muchero. Akati asvika pauri, haana chaakawana asi mashizha bedzi, nokuti yakanga isiri nguva yamaonde.
Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, He went to see if there was any fruit on it. But when He reached it, He found nothing on it except leaves, since it was not the season for figs.
14 Ipapo akati kumuti, “Ngakurege kuva nomunhu anodya muchero paurizve.” Vadzidzi vake vakamunzwa achidaro. (aiōn g165)
Then He said to the tree, “May no one ever eat of your fruit again.” And His disciples heard this statement. (aiōn g165)
15 Paakasvika muJerusarema, Jesu akapinda mutemberi akatanga kudzingira kunze vaya vakanga vachitenga nokutengeserana imomo. Akapidigura tafura dzevaitsinhana mari nezvigaro zvevaitengesa njiva,
When they arrived in Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began to drive out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those selling doves.
16 uye haana kutendera munhu kutakura zvaitengeswa achipinda nomuchivanze chete mberi.
And He would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts.
17 Uye akavadzidzisa achiti, “Ko, hazvina kunyorwa here kuti: “‘Imba yangu ichanzi imba yokunyengetera yendudzi dzose’? Asi imi maiita ‘bako ramakororo.’”
Then Jesus began to teach them, and He declared, “Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’”
18 Vaprista vakuru navadzidzisi vomurayiro vakazvinzwa ndokubva vatanga kutsvaka nzira yokumuuraya nayo, nokuti vaimutya, nokuti vanhu vazhinji vose vaishamiswa nedzidziso yake.
When the chief priests and scribes heard this, they looked for a way to kill Him. For they were afraid of Him, because the whole crowd was astonished at His teaching.
19 Madekwana akati asvika, vakaenda kunze kweguta.
And when evening came, Jesus and His disciples went out of the city.
20 Mangwanani, pavakanga vachifamba, vakaona muonde wakaoma kubva kumidzi.
As they were walking back in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered from its roots.
21 Petro akarangarira akati kuna Jesu, “Rabhi, tarirai! Muonde wamakatuka waoma!”
Peter remembered it and said, “Look, Rabbi! The fig tree You cursed has withered.”
22 Jesu akapindura akati, “Ivai nokutenda muna Mwari.
“Have faith in God,” Jesus said to them.
23 Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, kana munhu akati kugomo iri, ‘Enda, uzvikande mugungwa,’ uye asingakahadziki nazvo mumwoyo make, asi achitenda kuti zvaareva zvichaitika, achazviitirwa.
“Truly I tell you that if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and has no doubt in his heart but believes that it will happen, it will be done for him.
24 Naizvozvo ndinoti kwamuri, zvose zvamunokumbira mukunyengetera, tendai kuti mazvigamuchira, uye zvichava zvenyu.
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
25 Uye paunomira uchinyengetera, kana mumwe munhu akakutadzira, muregerere, kuitira kuti Baba vako vari kudenga vagokuregerera zvivi zvako.
And when you stand to pray, if you hold anything against another, forgive it, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your trespasses as well.”
26 Asi kana usingaregereri, Baba vako vari kudenga havazoregereri zvivi zvako.”
27 Vakasvikazve muJerusarema, uye Jesu paaifamba mutemberi, vaprista vakuru, vadzidzisi vomurayiro navakuru vakauya kwaari.
After their return to Jerusalem, Jesus was walking in the temple courts, and the chief priests, scribes, and elders came up to Him.
28 Vakati, “Unoita zvinhu izvi nesimba ripiko? Uye ndiani akakupa simba rokuita izvi?”
“By what authority are You doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave You the authority to do them?”
29 Jesu akapindura akati, “Ndichakubvunzai mubvunzo mumwe chete. Ndipindurei, ndigokuudzai simba randinoita naro zvinhu izvi.
“I will ask you one question,” Jesus replied, “and if you answer Me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
30 Rubhabhatidzo rwaJohani, rwakabva kudenga kana kuti kuvanhu? Ndiudzei!”
John’s baptism—was it from heaven or from men? Answer Me!”
31 Vakataurirana pakati pavo vakati, “Kana tikati, ‘Kudenga,’ achati, ‘Zvino makaregereiko kumutenda?’
They deliberated among themselves what they should answer: “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’
32 Asi kana tikati kuvanhu…” (Vakanga vachitya vanhu, nokuti vanhu vose vaitenda kuti Johani akanga ari muprofita zvechokwadi.)
But if we say, ‘From men’...” they were afraid of the people, for they all held that John truly was a prophet.
33 Saka vakapindura Jesu vachiti, “Hatizivi.” Jesu akati, “Neniwo handikuudzei simba randinoita naro zvinhu izvi.”
So they answered, “We do not know.” And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
