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 Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
2 Ipapo akashanduka pamberi pavo. Chiso chake chakapenya sezuva uye nguo dzake dzikachena sechiedza.
And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
3 Pakarepo Mozisi naEria vakangoerekana voonekwa vamire vachitaura naJesu.
And, behold, there appeared unto 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.”
Then answered Peter, and said unto 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!”
While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, 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 when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
7 Asi Jesu akauya akavabata. Akati, “Mukai. Musatya.”
And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
8 Pavakasimudza misoro vachitarisa vakazongoona Jesu ava oga.
And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
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, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.
10 Vadzidzi vakamubvunza vakati, “Ko, sei vadzidzisi vemirayiro vachiti Eria anofanira kutanga kuuya?”
And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?
11 Jesu akapindura akati, “Ichokwadi kuti Eria achauya agovandudza zvinhu zvose.
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first 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 unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
13 Ipapo vadzidzi vakanzwisisa kuti aitaura kwavari nezvaJohani Mubhabhatidzi.
Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.
14 Vakati vasvika kuvanhu vazhinji, mumwe murume akauya akasvikopfugama pamberi paJesu akati,
And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,
15 “Ishe, donzwiraiwo mwanakomana wangu tsitsi. Ane zvipusha uye ari kutambudzika kwazvo. Kazhinji zvinomuwisira mumoto kana mumvura.
Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft 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 faithless 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 the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.
19 Ipapo vadzidzi vakauya kuna Jesu vari voga vakamubvunza vachiti, “Ko, takundikana sei kuridzinga?”
Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, 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.
And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
21 Asi rudzi urwu rwomweya runongobviswa chete nokunyengetera nokutsanya.”
Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
22 Vakati vaungana muGarirea Jesu akati kwavari, “Mwanakomana woMunhu achaiswa mumaoko avanhu.
And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto 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 be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.
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 Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?
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 saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?
26 Petro akapindura akati, “Kuna vamwe.” Jesu akati, “Saka vana vakasununguka.
Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children 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.”
Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.
