Mateo 17
1 Mushure memazuva matanhatu Jesu akatora Petro naJakobho naJohani mununʼuna waJakobho akakwira navo mugomo refu vari voga.
And after six days Jesus taketh unto him Peter and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart:
2 Ipapo akashanduka pamberi pavo. Chiso chake chakapenya sezuva uye nguo dzake dzikachena sechiedza.
And he was transfigured before them. And his face did shine as the sun: and his garments became white as snow.
3 Pakarepo Mozisi naEria vakangoerekana voonekwa vamire vachitaura naJesu.
And behold there appeared to them Moses and Elias talking with him.
4 Petro akati kuna Jesu, “Ishe zvakatinakira kuva pano. Kana muchida ndingavaka matumba matatu, rimwe renyu, rimwe raMozisi nerimwe raEria.”
And Peter answering, said to Jesus: Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
5 Achiri kutaura kudaro, gore raipenya rakabva ravakwidibira, uye inzwi rikabuda mugore richiti, “Uyu ndiye Mwanakomana wangu wandinodisa, anondifadza. Munzwei!”
And as he was yet speaking, behold a bright cloud overshadowed them. And lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased: hear ye him.
6 Vadzidzi vakati vanzwa izvi, vakawira pasi nezviso zvavo vachitya kwazvo.
And the disciples hearing, fell upon their face, and were very much afraid.
7 Asi Jesu akauya akavabata. Akati, “Mukai. Musatya.”
And Jesus came and touched them: and said to them, Arise, and fear not.
8 Pavakasimudza misoro vachitarisa vakazongoona Jesu ava oga.
And they lifting up their eyes saw no one but only Jesus.
9 Pavakanga vava kuburuka kubva mugomo, Jesu akavarayira achiti, “Musamboudza ani zvake zvamaona izvi kusvikira Mwanakomana woMunhu amutswa kubva kuvakafa.”
And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying: Tell the vision to no man, till the Son of man be risen from the dead.
10 Vadzidzi vakamubvunza vakati, “Ko, sei vadzidzisi vemirayiro vachiti Eria anofanira kutanga kuuya?”
And his disciples asked him, saying: Why then do the scribes say that Elias must come first?
11 Jesu akapindura akati, “Ichokwadi kuti Eria achauya agovandudza zvinhu zvose.
But he answering, said to them: Elias indeed shall come, and restore all things.
12 Asi ndinokuudzai kuti Eria akatouya kare asi havana kumuziva, uye vakaita kwaari zvavaida. Saizvozvo Mwanakomana woMunhu achatambudzwa pamaoko avo.”
But I say to you, that Elias is already come, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they had a mind. So also the Son of man shall suffer from them.
13 Ipapo vadzidzi vakanzwisisa kuti aitaura kwavari nezvaJohani Mubhabhatidzi.
Then the disciples understood, that he had spoken to them of John the Baptist.
14 Vakati vasvika kuvanhu vazhinji, mumwe murume akauya akasvikopfugama pamberi paJesu akati,
And when he was come to the multitude, there came to him a man falling down on his knees before him, saying:
15 “Ishe, donzwiraiwo mwanakomana wangu tsitsi. Ane zvipusha uye ari kutambudzika kwazvo. Kazhinji zvinomuwisira mumoto kana mumvura.
Lord, have pity on my son, for he is a lunatic, and suffereth much: for he falleth often into the fire, and often into the water.
16 Ndauya naye kuvadzidzi venyu asi havana kugona kumuporesa.”
And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
17 Jesu akapindura akati, “Haiwa, imi rudzi rusingatendi uye rwakatsauka, ndichagara nemi kusvikira rinhiko? Uyai nomukomana uyu kwandiri.”
Then Jesus answered and said: O unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.
18 Jesu akatuka dhimoni rikabva rabuda mumukomana uya achibva apora kubva panguva iyoyo.
And Jesus rebuked him, and the devil went out of him, and the child was cured from that hour.
19 Ipapo vadzidzi vakauya kuna Jesu vari voga vakamubvunza vachiti, “Ko, takundikana sei kuridzinga?”
Then came the disciples to Jesus secretly, and said: Why could not we cast him out?
20 Akavapindura achiti, “Nokuda kwokuti mune kutenda kudiki. Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti dai maiva nokutenda kudiki hako semhodzi yemasitadhi maigona kuti kugomo iri, ‘Ibva apa uende uko,’ zvichiitika. Hapana chamunozokundikana kuita.
Jesus said to them: Because of your unbelief. For, amen I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, Remove from hence hither, and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible to you.
21 Asi rudzi urwu rwomweya runongobviswa chete nokunyengetera nokutsanya.”
But this kind is not cast out but by prayer and fasting.
22 Vakati vaungana muGarirea Jesu akati kwavari, “Mwanakomana woMunhu achaiswa mumaoko avanhu.
And when they abode together in Galilee, Jesus said to them: The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:
23 Vachamuuraya asi pazuva retatu achamutswa.” Uye vadzidzi vakasuwa kwazvo.
And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall rise again. And they were troubled exceedingly.
24 Jesu navadzidzi vake vakati vasvika muKapenaume, vateresi vomutemberi vakauya kuna Petro vakabvunza vachiti, “Ko, mudzidzisi wenyu haaripi mutero womutemberi here?”
And when they were come to Capharnaum, they that received the didrachmas, came to Peter and said to him: Doth not your master pay the didrachmas?
25 Akapindura akati, “Hongu, anoripa.” Petro paakapinda mumba, Jesu ndiye akatanga kutaura achiti, “Unofungei, Simoni? Madzimambo enyika anotora mutero kuvana vavo here kana kuti kuna vamwe?”
He said: Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying: What is thy opinion, Simon? The kings of the earth, of whom do they receive tribute or custom? of their own children, or of strangers?
26 Petro akapindura akati, “Kuna vamwe.” Jesu akati, “Saka vana vakasununguka.
And he said: Of strangers. Jesus said to him: Then the children are free.
27 Asi kuti tisavagumbura enda kugungwa unokanda chiredzo chako mumvura. Tora hove yaunotanga kubata, wovhura muromo wayo, uchawana muine mari inokwana mutero wangu newako, uvape.”
But that we may not scandalize them, go to the sea, and cast in a hook: and that fish which shall first come up, take: and when thou hast opened its mouth, thou shalt find a stater: take that, and give it to them for me and thee.
