Mateo 13
1 Musi mumwe chetewo, Jesu akabuda mumba akandogara nechokugungwa.
On that day, Jesus, going out of the house, was sitting near the sea:
2 Vanhu vazhinji vakamuunganira zvokuti akapinda mugwa akagaramo, vanhu vose vakamira kumahombekombe.
and there were gathered unto him, large multitudes, so that, he, into a boat, entered, and was sitting, and, all the multitude, on the beach was standing.
3 Ipapo akavaudza zvinhu zvizhinji nemifananidzo, achiti, “Murimi akabuda kundokusha mbeu dzake.
And he spake unto them many things, in parables, saying: Lo! the sower went forth to sow, —
4 Paakanga achikusha mbeu, dzimwe dzakawira munzira, shiri dzikauya dzikadzidya.
and, as he sowed, some, indeed, fell by the pathway, and, the birds, came, and devoured it;
5 Dzimwe dzakawira parukangarahwe, padzakashaya ivhu rakakwana. Dzakamera nokukurumidza nokuti ivhu rakanga risina kudzika.
And, some, fell on the rocky places, where it had not much earth, —and, straightway, it sprang up, because if had no depth of earth;
6 Asi zuva rakati rabuda, mbeu dzakatsva dzikaoma nokuti dzakanga dzisina midzi.
and, the sun arising, it was scorched, and, because it had no root, it withered away;
7 Dzimwe mbeu dzakawira muminzwa, minzwa ikakura ikadzivhunga.
And, some, fell upon the thorns, and the thorns came up, and choked it;
8 Dzimwewo mbeu dzakawira pavhu rakanaka, dzikabereka zvakapetwa kazana, kana zvakapetwa makumi matanhatu kana makumi matatu pane dzainge dzakushwa.
But, some, fell upon the good ground, and did yield fruit, —this, indeed a hundred fold, and, that, sixty, and, the other, thirty.
9 Uyo ane nzeve dzokunzwa ngaanzwe.”
He that hath ears, let him hear.
10 Vadzidzi vakauya kwaari vakasvikomubvunza vachiti, “Ko, munotaurirei kuvanhu nemifananidzo?”
And the disciples, coming near, said to him, Wherefore, in parables, art thou speaking to them?
11 Akapindura achiti, “Ruzivo rwezvakavanzika zvoumambo hwokudenga rwakapiwa kwamuri imi, asi kwete kwavari.
And, he, answering, said, Because, unto you, hath it been given, to get to know the sacred secrets of the kingdom of the heavens, —whereas, unto them, hath it not been given.
12 Kune anazvo achapiwazve zvimwe, uye achava nezvakawanda. Asi ani naani asina kunyange nezvishoma zvaanazvo achazvitorerwa.
For, whosoever hath, it shall be given, to him, and he shall be made to abound, —but, whoever hath not, even what he hath, shall be taken from him?
13 Ndokusaka ndichitaura kwavari nemifananidzo: “Kunyange vachiona asi havaoni, kunyange vachinzwa asi havanzwi kana kunzwisisa.
For this reason, in parables, unto them, do I speak, —because, seeing, they see not, and, hearing, they hear not, —neither do they understand.
14 Mavari munozadzisa chiprofita chaIsaya chinoti: “‘Muchangoramba muchinzwa asi musinganzwisisi; muchangoramba muchiona asi musingaonesesi.
And, again is being fulfilled in them, the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, —They shall, surely hear, and yet will not understand, and, surely see, and yet 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.’
For the heart of this people hath become dense, and, with their ears, heavily have they heard, and, their eyes, have they closed, —lest, once they should see with their eyes, and, with their ears, should hear, and, with their hearts, should understand, and return; when I would certainly heal them.
16 Asi akaropafadzwa meso enyu nokuti anoona nenzeve dzenyu nokuti dzinonzwa.
But happy are, your, eyes, that they see, and your ears, that 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, verily, I say unto you—Many prophets and righteous men, have coveted to see what ye see, and have not seen, and to hear what ye hear, and have not heard.
18 “Teererai zvino munzwe zvinorehwa nomufananidzo womukushi:
Hear, ye, then, the parable of him that sowed: —
19 Kana munhu akanzwa shoko roumambo, akasarinzwisisa, akaipa anouya osvikobvuta zviya zvanga zvadyarwa mumwoyo make. Iyi ndiyo mbeu yakakushwa munzira.
When anyone heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, the wicked one cometh, and catcheth up that which hath been sown in his heart, —this, is he, by the pathway, sown.
20 Uyo akagamuchira mbeu yakawira parukangarahwe, ndiye munhu anonzwa shoko, pakarepo origamuchira norufaro.
And, he on the rocky places sown, the same, is he that, heareth the word, and, straightway, with joy, receiveth it;
21 Asi nokuti haana mudzi, anongorarama naro kwechinguva chipfupi. Kana nhamo kana kutambudzwa zvauya nokuda kweshoko, anokurumidza kugumburwa.
yet hath he no root in himself, but is, only for a season, —and, there arising, tribulation or persecution because of the word, straightway, he findeth cause of stumbling.
22 Uyo akagamuchira mbeu yakawira muminzwa, munhu anonzwa shoko asi kufunganya kwenyika nokunyengera kwepfuma zvinorivhunga robva rashaya zvibereko. (aiōn g165)
And, he among the thorns sown, the same, is he that, heareth the word, —and, the anxiety of the age and the deceit of riches, choke up the word, and, unfruitful, it becometh. (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.”
But, he on the good ground sown, the same, is he who doth hear and understand the word, who, indeed, beareth fruit and produceth, —this, a hundred, and, that, sixty, and, the other, thirty.
24 Jesu akavaudza mumwe mufananidzo achiti, “Umambo hwokudenga hunofananidzwa nomunhu akakusha mbeu yakanaka mumunda make.
Another parable, put he before them, saying—The kingdom of the heavens hath become like a man sowing good seed in his field;
25 Asi munhu wose avete, muvengi wake akauya akakusha sawi pakati pegorosi, ndokubva aenda.
and, while men were sleeping, his enemy came, and sowed over darnel, in among the wheat, —and away he went.
26 Asi kuzoti gorosi ramera rikatumbuka, ipapo sawi rakaonekwawo.
And, when the blade shot up, and brought forth, fruit, then, appeared, the darnel also.
27 “Varanda vomuridzi womunda vakauya kwaari vakasvikoti, ‘Ishe, hamuna kukusha mbeu yakanaka mumunda menyu here? Ko, zvino sawi rakazobvepi?’
And the servants of the householder, coming near, said to him, —Sir! was it not, good seed, thou didst sow in thy field? Whence then hath it, darnel?
28 “Akavapindura achiti, ‘Muvengi ndiye akaita izvi.’ “Varanda vakamubvunza vakati, ‘Munoda kuti tiende kunoridzura here?’
And he said unto them—An enemy, hath, done this. And they say, unto him—Wilt thou, then, that we go and collect it?
29 “Akapindura akati, ‘Kwete, nokuti paya pamunodzura sawi, mungazodzura pamwe chete nezviyo.
And, he, saith—Nay! lest, at any time, while collecting the darnel, ye uproot, along with it, the wheat:
30 Regai zvikurirane pamwe chete, tozozviona pakukohwa. Panguva iyoyo ndinozoudza vakohwi kuti: Tangai kuunganidza sawi murisunge muzvisote zvichazopiswa. Mushure mozounganidza gorosi mugoriisa mudura rangu.’”
Suffer both to grow together until the harvest, and at, harvest time, I will say unto the reapers, —Collect ye first, the darnel, and bind it into bundles, with a view to the burning it up; but, the wheat, be gathering it into my barn.
31 Akavaudzazve mumwe mufananidzo achiti, “Umambo hwokudenga hwakafanana nembeu yemasitadhi iyo yakatorwa nomunhu akaidyara mumunda make.
Another parable, put he before them, saying—The kingdom of the heavens is like unto, a grain of 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, less, than all seeds, but, when grown, is greater than garden-plants, and becometh a tree, —so that the birds of heaven come, and lodge among its branches.
33 Akavaudzazve mumwe mufananidzo achiti, “Umambo hwokudenga hwakafanana nembiriso, iyo inotorwa nomunhukadzi oisanganisa nefurawa yakawanda, kusvikira yapinda muchikanyiwa chose.”
Another parable, [spake he unto them]: —The kingdom of the heavens is like, unto leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour until, the whole, was leavened.
34 Jesu akataura zvinhu izvi zvose kuvanhu nemifananidzo. Haana chaakataura kwavari asingashandisi mifananidzo.
All these things, spake Jesus in parables, unto the multitudes, and, without a parable, was he speaking, nothing, unto them:
35 Saizvozvo zvakazadziswa zvakanga zvataurwa kubudikidza nomuprofita zvichinzi: “Ndichataura nemifananidzo, ndichataura zvinhu zvakavanzika kubva pakusikwa kwenyika.”
that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken through the prophet, saying—I will open, in parables, my mouth, I will bring up things hidden from the foundation!
36 Ipapo akasiya vanhu vazhinji akapinda mumba. Vadzidzi vake vakauya kwaari vakasvikoti, “Titsanangurirei zvinorehwa nomufananidzo wamasawi mumunda.”
Then, dismissing the multitudes, he went into the house, and his disciples came near to him, saying—Make quite plain to us the parable of the darnel of the field.
37 Akapindura akati, “Uyo akadyara mbeu yakanaka ndiye Mwanakomana woMunhu.
And, he, answering, said—He that soweth the good seed, is the Son of Man;
38 Munda ndiyo nyika, uye mbeu yakanaka inomirira vanakomana voumambo. Masawi ndiwo vanakomana vowakaipa,
And, the field, is the world, and, the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom, —and, the darnel seeds, are the sons of the evil one;
39 muvengi anoadyara ndiye dhiabhori. Kukohwa ndiko kuguma kwenyika, uye vakohwi ndivo vatumwa. (aiōn g165)
And, the enemy that sowed them, is the adversary, and, the harvest, is, the conclusion of an age, and, the reapers, are, messengers. (aiōn g165)
Just, therefore, as collected is the darnel, and, with fire is burned, so, will it be in the conclusion of the age: — (aiōn g165)
41 Mwanakomana woMunhu achatuma vatumwa vake uye vachadzura kubva muumambo hwake zvose zvinokonzera chivi navose vanoita zvakaipa.
The Son of Man will send forth his messengers, and they will collect, out of his kingdom, all the causes of stumbling, and the doers of lawlessness,
42 Vachavakanda muvira romoto umo muchava nokuchema nokurumanya kwameno.
and will cast them into the furnace of fire: there, will be wailing 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 that hath ears, 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.
The kingdom of the heavens is like unto, a treasure hid in the field, which a man, finding, hid, —and, by reason of his joy, withdraweth and selleth whatsoever he hath, and buyeth that field.
45 “Umambo hwokudenga hwakafananazve nomutengesi wezvinhu anotsvaka maparera akaisvonaka.
Again, the kingdom of the heavens is, like, unto, a merchant, seeking beautiful pearls, —
46 Akati awana rimwe rawo rinokosha akaenda akandotengesa zvose zvaakanga anazvo uye akaritenga.
and, finding one very precious pearl, departing, he at once sold all things, whatsoever 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 unto, a large drag-net, cast into the sea and gathering 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 filled, they dragged up on the beach, and, sitting down, collected the good into vessels, but, the worthless, forth they cast.
49 Izvi ndizvo zvazvichaita pakuguma kwenyika. Vatumwa vachauya vagotsaura vakaipa kubva kune vakarurama, (aiōn g165)
So, will it be in the conclusion of the age: The messengers will come forth, and separate the wicked from among the righteous; (aiōn g165)
50 uye vagovakanda muvira romoto, kuchava nokuchema nokurumanya kwameno.”
and will cast them into the furnace of fire: there, will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
51 Jesu akabvunza akati, “Manzwisisa zvinhu izvi zvose here?” Vakapindura vakati, “Hongu.”
Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea!
52 Akati kwavari, “Naizvozvo mudzidzisi mumwe nomumwe womurayiro akadzidziswa nezvoumambo hwokudenga akafanana nomuridzi weimba anoburitsa pfuma itsva netsaru muimba yake yokuchengetera zvinhu.”
And, he, said unto them—Wherefore, every scribe, discipled unto the kingdom of the heavens, is like unto a householder, who putteth forth out of his treasure, things new and old.
53 Jesu akati apedza mifananidzo iyi, akabvapo.
And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, he removed from thence;
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 own city, began teaching them in their synagogue, so that with astonishment were they being struck, and were saying—Whence, hath, this one, 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 not, this one, the carpenter’s, son? Is not, his mother, called Mary, and are not his brethren—James and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas?
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? Whence, then hath, this one, all these things?
57 Vakagumburwa naye. Asi Jesu akati kwavari, “Muprofita haashayiwi kukudzwa asi munyika yake nomumba make.”
And they began to find cause of stumbling in him. But, Jesus, said unto them—A prophet is not without honour, save in his city, and in his house.
58 Uye haana kuzoita zvishamiso zvizhinji imomo nokuda kwokusatenda kwavo.
And he did not, there, many mighty works, because of their unbelief.
