Mako 12
1 Zvino akatanga kutaura navo nemifananidzo achiti, “Mumwe murume akasima munda wemizambiringa. Akaukomberedza noruzhowa, akachera gomba rechisviniro chewaini uye akavaka shongwe yokurinda. Ipapo akauchengetesa kuvarimi akaenda parwendo.
Then He began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard—put a hedge around it, dug a wine trough, built a tower—rented it to farmers and went on a journey.
2 Pakukohwa akatuma muranda kumuchengeti womunda kuti andotora kwavari mimwe michero yomunda wemizambiringa.
At the proper time he sent a slave to the farmers, that he might receive from them some of the fruit of the vineyard.
3 Asi vakamubata, vakamurova vakamudzosa asina chinhu.
But they took him, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.
4 Ipapo akatuma mumwe muranda; vakarova murume uyu mumusoro vakamunyadzisa zvikuru.
Again he sent another slave to them, and that one they wounded in the head by stoning, and sent him away shamefully treated.
5 Akapamhazve kutuma mumwe, uye uyo vakamuuraya. Akatuma vamwe vazhinji; vamwe vavo vakavarova, vamwe vakavauraya.
Again he sent another, and him they killed; and many others, beating some and killing some.
6 “Akanga asara nomumwe chete wokutuma, mwanakomana, waaida kwazvo. Akamutuma kwokupedzisira achiti, ‘Vacharemekedza mwanakomana wangu.’
Finally, still having his one beloved son, he even sent him to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
7 “Asi vachengeti vakataurirana vakati, ‘Uyu ndiye mudyi wenhaka. Uyai, ngatimuurayei, nhaka igova yedu.’
But those farmers said to one another: ‘This is the heir. Come, let's kill him and the inheritance will be ours.’
8 Saka vakamutora vakamuuraya, vakamurasira kunze kwomunda wemizambiringa.
So they took him, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.
9 “Zvino muridzi womunda wemizambiringa achaiteiko? Achauya agouraya vachengeti vaya vomunda agopa munda wemizambiringa kuna vamwe.
“What therefore will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy those farmers, and give the vineyard to others.
10 Ko, hamuna kuverenga here rugwaro urwu runoti: “‘Dombo rakarambwa navavaki ndiro rava musoro wekona;
Have you not even read this Scripture: ‘The stone that the builders rejected, is the very one that became the cornerstone;
11 Ishe akaita izvi, uye zvinoshamisa pamberi pedu’?”
this was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”
12 Ipapo vakatsvaka nzira yokumusunga nayo nokuti vakaziva kuti akanga ataura mufananidzo uyu pamusoro pavo. Asi vakanga vachitya vanhu vazhinji; saka vakamusiya vakaenda.
So they started looking for a way to arrest Him, because they knew He had spoken the parable against them, but they were in fear of the crowd. Then they left Him and went away.
13 Shure kwaizvozvo vakatuma vamwe vavaFarisi navaHerodhi kuna Jesu kuti vandomubata namashoko ake.
Then they sent some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians to Him, in order to trap Him with a question.
14 Vakauya kwaari vakati, “Mudzidzisi, tinoziva kuti muri munhu akarurama. Imi hamutsauswi navanhu, nokuti hamuteereri kuti ndivanaani, asi munodzidzisa nzira yaMwari zviri maererano nechokwadi. Zvakanaka here kuripa mutero kuna Kesari kana kuti kwete?
Upon arriving they said to Him: “Teacher, we know that you are honest—you do not ‘protect’ anyone, because you do not consider the position of people, but teach the way of God in truth—is it right to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?
15 Tinofanira kuripa here kana kuti tinofanira kuregera?” Asi Jesu achiziva kunyengera kwavo, akati, “Seiko muchiedza kunditeya? Ndipei kuno dhenari ndirione.”
Should we pay, or should we not?” But knowing their hypocrisy, He said to them: “Why are you testing me? Bring me a denarius to look at.”
16 Vakauya nemari yacho, iye akavabvunza akati, “Mufananidzo uyu ndowani? Uye runyoro urwu ndorwani?” Vakapindura vakati, “NdezvaKesari.”
So they did, and He said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?” They said to Him, “Caesar's.”
17 Ipapo Jesu akati kwavari, “Ipai Kesari zvaKesari uye kuna Mwari zvaMwari.” Uye vakashamiswa naye.
Then Jesus answered them by saying, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.” And they marveled at Him.
18 Ipapo vaSadhusi, vaya vanoti hakuna kumuka kwavakafa, vakauya kwaari nomubvunzo.
Then some Sadducees came to Him—they say there is no resurrection—and asked Him, saying:
19 Vakati, “Mudzidzisi, Mozisi akatinyorera kuti kana mukoma womurume akafa uye akasiya mukadzi asina vana, mununʼuna wake anofanira kuwana chirikadzi iyi kuti amutsire mukoma wake vana.
“Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man's brother dies and leaves behind a wife, but no children, then his brother should take that wife and raise up offspring for his brother.
20 Zvino kwakanga kuna vanakomana vomunhu mumwe chete vanomwe. Wokutanga akawana uye akafa akasasiya vana.
Well there were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and dying left no offspring.
21 Wechipiri akatora chirikadzi iya, asi naiyewo akafa, akasasiya vana. Ndizvo zvakaitikawo kuno wechitatu.
So the second one took her, and died; and neither did he leave any offspring. The third likewise.
22 Zviripo ndezvokuti, hakuna pavanomwe ava akasiya kana mwana. Pakupedzisira mukadzi akazofawo.
In fact, all seven took her, and left no offspring. Last of all the woman also died.
23 Pakumuka kwavakafa, achava mukadzi waani, sezvo akanga akawanikwa navanomwe ava?”
In the resurrection, whenever they may rise, whose wife will she be?—because all seven had her as wife.”
24 Jesu akapindura akati, “Hamuna kurasika here nokuda kwokusaziva Magwaro kana simba raMwari?
Then in answer Jesus said to them: “You do not know the Scriptures nor the power of God—is this not the reason that you err?
25 Vakafa pavanomuka, havazowani uye havazowaniswi; vachaita savatumwa vokudenga.
Whenever people rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in the heavens.
26 Zvino pamusoro pokumuka kwavakafa, hamuna kuverenga here mubhuku raMozisi, panhoroondo dzegwenzi raipfuta, kuti Mwari akati kwaari, ‘Ndini Mwari waAbhurahama, Mwari waIsaka, naMwari waJakobho’?
But concerning the dead, that they rise, have you not read in the book of Moses, about the Bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?
27 Haazi Mwari wavakafa, asi wavapenyu. Makarasika kwazvo!”
He is not the God of dead people, but the God of living ones. You are therefore badly mistaken.”
28 Mumwe wavadzidzisi vomurayiro akauya akavanzwa vachitaurirana. Akaona kuti Jesu akanga avapa mhinduro yakanaka, akamubvunza akati, “Pamirayiro yose, ndoupiko unonyanya kukosha?”
Then one of the scribes came on the scene, heard them arguing, realized that He had answered them well, and asked Him, “Which is the first commandment of all?”
29 Jesu akapindura akati, “Unonyanya kukosha, ndouyu: ‘Inzwa, iwe Israeri, Ishe Mwari wedu, ndiye Ishe mumwe chete.
Jesus answered him: “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord your (pl) God, the Lord is one;
30 Ida Ishe Mwari wako nomwoyo wako wose uye nomweya wako wose nokufunga kwako kwose uye nesimba rako rose.’
and you (sg) shall love the Lord your (sg) God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment.
31 Wechipiri ndouyu: ‘Ida wokwako sezvaunozvida iwe.’ Hakuna murayiro mukuru kupfuura iyi.”
And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
32 Murume akapindura akati, “Mapindura zvakanaka, mudzidzisi. Mataura chokwadi pamataura kuti Mwari ndiye mumwe chete uye hakuna mumwe kunze kwake.
So the scribe said to Him: “Well said, teacher; you said truly that He is one, and there is no other except He.
33 Kumuda nomwoyo wako wose, nokunzwisisa kwako kwose uye nesimba rako rose, uye kuda wokwako sezvaunozvida iwe ndizvo zvinonyanya kukosha kupfuura zvipiriso zvose zvinopiswa, nezvibayiro.”
And to love Him with all the heart and with all the understanding and with all the soul and with all the strength, and to love the neighbor as oneself, is more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
34 Jesu akati aona kuti akanga apindura nokuchenjera, akati kwaari, “Hausi kure noumambo hwaMwari.” Uye kubvira ipapo hakuna munhu akazotsunga kumubvunza mimwezve mibvunzo.
Now when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, He said to him, “You are not far from the Kingdom of God.” And after that no one dared ask Him any question.
35 Jesu paakanga achidzidzisa ari mutemberi, akabvunza akati, “Seiko vadzidzisi vomurayiro vachiti Kristu mwanakomana waDhavhidhi?
Then, teaching in the temple, Jesus reacted by saying: “How is it that the scribes say that the Messiah is David's son?
36 Dhavhidhi pachake achitaura noMweya Mutsvene, akati: “‘Ishe akati kuna She wangu: “Gara kuruoko rwangu rworudyi kusvikira ndaisa vavengi vako pasi petsoka dzako.”’
Because David himself said by the Holy Spirit: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet.”’
37 Dhavhidhi pachake anomuti ‘Ishe.’ Zvino anogova mwanakomana wake seiko?” Vanhu vazhinji vakateerera kwaari nomufaro.
Therefore David himself calls Him ‘Lord’; so how can He be his son?” The large crowd listened to Him with pleasure.
38 Pakudzidzisa kwake, Jesu akati, “Chenjererai vadzidzisi vomurayiro. Vanoda kufamba-famba vakapfeka nguo refu uye vachikwaziswa mumisika,
Then He said to them in His teaching: “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk about in long robes and to get greetings in the market places,
39 uye kuti vave nezvigaro zvakakwirira kwazvo mumasinagoge uye nenzvimbo dzinokudzwa pamabiko.
and the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts;
40 Vanoparadza dzimba dzechirikadzi uye vanoita minyengetero mirefu kuti vaonekwe navanhu. Vanhu vakadai vacharangwa zvikuru kwazvo.”
who devour the houses of widows, while praying long and loud for a show. These will receive a more severe judgment.”
41 Jesu akagara pasi akatarisana nenzvimbo yaiiswa zvipo uye akatarisisa vanhu vazhinji vachiisa mari yavo muchivigiro chemari mutemberi. Vapfumi vazhinji vaikandamo mari zhinji.
Then Jesus sat down opposite the offering chest and started watching how the people were depositing money into the chest. Many rich people put in large amounts.
42 Asi chirikadzi yakasvika ikaisamo tumari tuviri tuduku.
A certain poor widow also came and put in two ‘lepta’, which equal a ‘quadrans’.
43 Jesu akadana vadzidzi vake kwaari, akati, “Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, chirikadzi murombo iyi yaisa mari zhinji muchivigiro kupfuura vamwe vose.
So summoning His disciples He said to them: “I tell you assuredly that this poor widow has put more in the chest than all these contributors;
44 Vose vapa kubva paupfumi hwavo; asi chirikadzi iyi yapa, ichitora pakushayiwa kwayo, yaisa zvose zvayanga ichifanira kurarama nazvo.”
because they all gave out of their excess, but she, out of her lack, put in all that she had, her whole livelihood.”
