Mateo 13
1 Musi mumwe chetewo, Jesu akabuda mumba akandogara nechokugungwa.
On the same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea.
2 Vanhu vazhinji vakamuunganira zvokuti akapinda mugwa akagaramo, vanhu vose vakamira kumahombekombe.
And large crowds were gathered together to Him, so He got into a boat to sit down; and the whole crowd stood on the shore.
3 Ipapo akavaudza zvinhu zvizhinji nemifananidzo, achiti, “Murimi akabuda kundokusha mbeu dzake.
Then He spoke many things to them in parables saying: “Listen, a sower went out to sow.
4 Paakanga achikusha mbeu, dzimwe dzakawira munzira, shiri dzikauya dzikadzidya.
And as he sowed, some seeds fell alongside the road, and the birds came and devoured them.
5 Dzimwe dzakawira parukangarahwe, padzakashaya ivhu rakakwana. Dzakamera nokukurumidza nokuti ivhu rakanga risina kudzika.
Others fell on stony places, where they did not have much earth; so they sprouted quickly because they had no depth of earth.
6 Asi zuva rakati rabuda, mbeu dzakatsva dzikaoma nokuti dzakanga dzisina midzi.
But when the sun came up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered away.
7 Dzimwe mbeu dzakawira muminzwa, minzwa ikakura ikadzivhunga.
And others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and smothered them.
8 Dzimwewo mbeu dzakawira pavhu rakanaka, dzikabereka zvakapetwa kazana, kana zvakapetwa makumi matanhatu kana makumi matatu pane dzainge dzakushwa.
But others fell on the good ground and yielded a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
9 Uyo ane nzeve dzokunzwa ngaanzwe.”
He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
10 Vadzidzi vakauya kwaari vakasvikomubvunza vachiti, “Ko, munotaurirei kuvanhu nemifananidzo?”
And the disciples approached and said to Him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?”
11 Akapindura achiti, “Ruzivo rwezvakavanzika zvoumambo hwokudenga rwakapiwa kwamuri imi, asi kwete kwavari.
So in answer He said to them: “To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but to them it has not been given.
12 Kune anazvo achapiwazve zvimwe, uye achava nezvakawanda. Asi ani naani asina kunyange nezvishoma zvaanazvo achazvitorerwa.
For whoever has, to him more will be given and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
13 Ndokusaka ndichitaura kwavari nemifananidzo: “Kunyange vachiona asi havaoni, kunyange vachinzwa asi havanzwi kana kunzwisisa.
Therefore I speak to them in parables, that seeing they not see and hearing they not hear nor understand.
14 Mavari munozadzisa chiprofita chaIsaya chinoti: “‘Muchangoramba muchinzwa asi musinganzwisisi; muchangoramba muchiona asi musingaonesesi.
And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says: ‘By hearing you (ye) will hear and not understand, and seeing you will see and not perceive.
15 Nokuti mwoyo yavanhu ava mikukutu, havatombonzwi nenzeve dzavo, uye vakatsinzina meso avo. Zvichida vangaona nameso avo, vakanzwa nenzeve dzavo, vakanzwisisa nemwoyo yavo, vakapinduka, uye ndikavaporesa.’
Because the A hearts of this people have grown dull, and their B ears hard of hearing, and their C eyes they have closed; lest they should see with their C eyes and hear with their B ears and understand with their A hearts, and turn around; and I would heal them.’
16 Asi akaropafadzwa meso enyu nokuti anoona nenzeve dzenyu nokuti dzinonzwa.
But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear;
17 Nokuti, ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti vaprofita vazhinji navanhu vakarurama vaida kuona zvinhu zvamuri kuona asi havana kuzviona, nokunzwa zvamuri kunzwa asi havana kuzvinzwa.
for assuredly I say to you that many prophets and righteous ones desired to see what you see and did not see it, and to hear what you hear and did not hear it.
18 “Teererai zvino munzwe zvinorehwa nomufananidzo womukushi:
“Therefore hear the parable of the sower:
19 Kana munhu akanzwa shoko roumambo, akasarinzwisisa, akaipa anouya osvikobvuta zviya zvanga zvadyarwa mumwoyo make. Iyi ndiyo mbeu yakakushwa munzira.
When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand, the malignant one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart—this is the seed sown alongside the road.
20 Uyo akagamuchira mbeu yakawira parukangarahwe, ndiye munhu anonzwa shoko, pakarepo origamuchira norufaro.
But the seed sown on stony places—this is he who hears the word and directly receives it with joy,
21 Asi nokuti haana mudzi, anongorarama naro kwechinguva chipfupi. Kana nhamo kana kutambudzwa zvauya nokuda kweshoko, anokurumidza kugumburwa.
but he has no root in himself and is short-lived; for when trial or persecution comes because of the word, directly he is offended.
22 Uyo akagamuchira mbeu yakawira muminzwa, munhu anonzwa shoko asi kufunganya kwenyika nokunyengera kwepfuma zvinorivhunga robva rashaya zvibereko. (aiōn g165)
But the seed sown among the thorns—this is he who hears the word, but the care of this age and the deceitfulness of riches choke out the word, and it becomes fruitless. (aiōn g165)
23 Asi uyo anogamuchira shoko rakawira muvhu rakanaka ndiye munhu anonzwa shoko orinzwisisa. Ndiye anobereka mbeu inoburitsa zana, kana makumi matanhatu kana makumi matatu ezvakakushwa.”
Now the seed sown on the good ground—this is he who hears the word and understands, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.”
24 Jesu akavaudza mumwe mufananidzo achiti, “Umambo hwokudenga hunofananidzwa nomunhu akakusha mbeu yakanaka mumunda make.
He put another parable to them, saying: “The kingdom of the heavens is like a man who sowed good seed in his field;
25 Asi munhu wose avete, muvengi wake akauya akakusha sawi pakati pegorosi, ndokubva aenda.
but while the people were sleeping his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went away.
26 Asi kuzoti gorosi ramera rikatumbuka, ipapo sawi rakaonekwawo.
But when the stalk sprouted and produced fruit, then the tares also appeared.
27 “Varanda vomuridzi womunda vakauya kwaari vakasvikoti, ‘Ishe, hamuna kukusha mbeu yakanaka mumunda menyu here? Ko, zvino sawi rakazobvepi?’
So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, was it not good seed that you sowed in your field? How then does it have tares?’
28 “Akavapindura achiti, ‘Muvengi ndiye akaita izvi.’ “Varanda vakamubvunza vakati, ‘Munoda kuti tiende kunoridzura here?’
He said to them, ‘An enemy did it.’ The servants said to him, ‘So do you want us to go and gather them up?’
29 “Akapindura akati, ‘Kwete, nokuti paya pamunodzura sawi, mungazodzura pamwe chete nezviyo.
But he said: ‘No, lest gathering up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them.
30 Regai zvikurirane pamwe chete, tozozviona pakukohwa. Panguva iyoyo ndinozoudza vakohwi kuti: Tangai kuunganidza sawi murisunge muzvisote zvichazopiswa. Mushure mozounganidza gorosi mugoriisa mudura rangu.’”
Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather up the tares and bind them into bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”
31 Akavaudzazve mumwe mufananidzo achiti, “Umambo hwokudenga hwakafanana nembeu yemasitadhi iyo yakatorwa nomunhu akaidyara mumunda make.
He put another parable to them, saying: “The kingdom of the heavens is like a mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field;
32 Kunyange zvazvo iri iyo mbeu dukusa pambeu dzenyu, asi painokura ndiyo huru kwazvo pambeu dzose dzomubindu uye inova muti wokuti shiri dzedenga dzinouya dzichimhara pamapazi awo.”
which indeed is smaller than all the seeds, but when it is grown it is greater than all the vegetables and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and rest in its branches.”
33 Akavaudzazve mumwe mufananidzo achiti, “Umambo hwokudenga hwakafanana nembiriso, iyo inotorwa nomunhukadzi oisanganisa nefurawa yakawanda, kusvikira yapinda muchikanyiwa chose.”
He spoke another parable to them: “The kingdom of the heavens is like yeast, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal until it was all leavened.”
34 Jesu akataura zvinhu izvi zvose kuvanhu nemifananidzo. Haana chaakataura kwavari asingashandisi mifananidzo.
All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables, and without a parable He did not speak to them,
35 Saizvozvo zvakazadziswa zvakanga zvataurwa kubudikidza nomuprofita zvichinzi: “Ndichataura nemifananidzo, ndichataura zvinhu zvakavanzika kubva pakusikwa kwenyika.”
so that what was spoken through the prophet should be fulfilled, namely: “I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things kept secret from the foundation of the world.”
36 Ipapo akasiya vanhu vazhinji akapinda mumba. Vadzidzi vake vakauya kwaari vakasvikoti, “Titsanangurirei zvinorehwa nomufananidzo wamasawi mumunda.”
Then Jesus dismissed the crowds and went into the house. And His disciples approached Him saying, “Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.”
37 Akapindura akati, “Uyo akadyara mbeu yakanaka ndiye Mwanakomana woMunhu.
So He answered and said to them: “He who sows the good seed is the Son of the Man.
38 Munda ndiyo nyika, uye mbeu yakanaka inomirira vanakomana voumambo. Masawi ndiwo vanakomana vowakaipa,
The field is the world; as for the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom, while the tares are the sons of the malignant one.
39 muvengi anoadyara ndiye dhiabhori. Kukohwa ndiko kuguma kwenyika, uye vakohwi ndivo vatumwa. (aiōn g165)
The enemy who sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. (aiōn g165)
Therefore just as the tares are gathered and burned with fire, so it will be at the end of this age. (aiōn g165)
41 Mwanakomana woMunhu achatuma vatumwa vake uye vachadzura kubva muumambo hwake zvose zvinokonzera chivi navose vanoita zvakaipa.
The Son of the Man will send out His angels, and they will collect out of His kingdom everything that is offensive, and those who perpetrate lawlessness;
42 Vachavakanda muvira romoto umo muchava nokuchema nokurumanya kwameno.
and they will throw them into the furnace of fire. There there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
43 Ipapo vakarurama vachapenya sezuva vari muumambo hwaBaba vavo. Uyo ane nzeve dzokunzwa ngaanzwe.
Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
44 “Umambo hwokudenga hwakafanana nepfuma yakavigwa mumunda. Mumwe murume akati aiwana, akaivigazve, uye ipapo mukufara kwake, akaenda akandotengesa zvose zvaaiva nazvo ndokutenga munda iwoyo.
“Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and re-hid, and in his joy he goes and sells everything he has and buys that field.
45 “Umambo hwokudenga hwakafananazve nomutengesi wezvinhu anotsvaka maparera akaisvonaka.
“Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a man, a merchant, seeking beautiful pearls,
46 Akati awana rimwe rawo rinokosha akaenda akandotengesa zvose zvaakanga anazvo uye akaritenga.
who upon finding one very valuable pearl went and sold everything he had and bought it.
47 “Zvakare umambo hwokudenga hwakafanana nousvasvi hwakakandwa mugungwa uye hukabata marudzi ose ehove.
“Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a seine that was cast into the sea and gathered of every kind,
48 Pahwakanga hwazara vabati vehove vakahukwevera kunze kumahombekombe. Ipapo vakagara pasi vakasarudza hove dzakanaka vakadziisa mumidziyo, asi dzakaipa vakadzirasa.
which, when it was full, they pulled upon the shore; and sitting down they collected the good into vessels, but threw out the bad.
49 Izvi ndizvo zvazvichaita pakuguma kwenyika. Vatumwa vachauya vagotsaura vakaipa kubva kune vakarurama, (aiōn g165)
So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come forth and will separate the malignant out from among the righteous, (aiōn g165)
50 uye vagovakanda muvira romoto, kuchava nokuchema nokurumanya kwameno.”
and they will throw them into the furnace of fire. There there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
51 Jesu akabvunza akati, “Manzwisisa zvinhu izvi zvose here?” Vakapindura vakati, “Hongu.”
Jesus says to them, “Did you understand all these things?” They say to Him, “Yes, Lord.”
52 Akati kwavari, “Naizvozvo mudzidzisi mumwe nomumwe womurayiro akadzidziswa nezvoumambo hwokudenga akafanana nomuridzi weimba anoburitsa pfuma itsva netsaru muimba yake yokuchengetera zvinhu.”
So He said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has been discipled into the kingdom of the heavens is like a man, a householder, who brings out of his reservoir things new and old.”
53 Jesu akati apedza mifananidzo iyi, akabvapo.
Now it happened, when Jesus had finished these parables, that He departed from there.
54 Akapinda muguta rokwake akatanga kudzidzisa vanhu musinagoge ravo, uye vakashamiswa nazvo. Vakabvunza vachiti, “Murume uyu akawanepi uchenjeri uhu namasimba ezvishamiso aya?
And coming into His hometown He began to teach them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said: “Where did this man get this wisdom, and the mighty works?
55 Ko, haasi mwanakomana womuvezi here? Mai vake havasi Maria here, navanunʼuna vake havasi Jakobho, Josefa, Simoni naJudhasi?
Is this not the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brothers James and Joses and Simon and Jude?
56 Uye hanzvadzi dzake hadzisi pakati pedu dzose here? Ko, zvino murume uyu akawanepi zvinhu zvose izvi?”
And his sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this man get all these things?”
57 Vakagumburwa naye. Asi Jesu akati kwavari, “Muprofita haashayiwi kukudzwa asi munyika yake nomumba make.”
So they were offended at him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his own house.”
58 Uye haana kuzoita zvishamiso zvizhinji imomo nokuda kwokusatenda kwavo.
And He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
