Mateo 17
1 Mushure memazuva matanhatu Jesu akatora Petro naJakobho naJohani mununʼuna waJakobho akakwira navo mugomo refu vari voga.
Six days later Jesus took with him Peter and Jamesand his brother John, and led them up a high mountain, by themselves apart.
2 Ipapo akashanduka pamberi pavo. Chiso chake chakapenya sezuva uye nguo dzake dzikachena sechiedza.
Here he was transfigured before them; his face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light.
3 Pakarepo Mozisi naEria vakangoerekana voonekwa vamire vachitaura naJesu.
And behold! Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Jesus.
4 Petro akati kuna Jesu, “Ishe zvakatinakira kuva pano. Kana muchida ndingavaka matumba matatu, rimwe renyu, rimwe raMozisi nerimwe raEria.”
Then Peter said to Jesus. "Master, it is good that we are here! If you are willing I will make here three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
5 Achiri kutaura kudaro, gore raipenya rakabva ravakwidibira, uye inzwi rikabuda mugore richiti, “Uyu ndiye Mwanakomana wangu wandinodisa, anondifadza. Munzwei!”
While he was yet speaking, behold! a luminous cloud overshadowed them; and a voice out of the cloud, saying. "This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom is my delight. Listen to him."
6 Vadzidzi vakati vanzwa izvi, vakawira pasi nezviso zvavo vachitya kwazvo.
When the disciples heard this, they fell on their faces and were terrified.
7 Asi Jesu akauya akavabata. Akati, “Mukai. Musatya.”
But Jesus came to them and touched them, saying, "Rise, have no fear!"
8 Pavakasimudza misoro vachitarisa vakazongoona Jesu ava oga.
And when they raised their eyes they saw no one save Jesus only.
9 Pavakanga vava kuburuka kubva mugomo, Jesu akavarayira achiti, “Musamboudza ani zvake zvamaona izvi kusvikira Mwanakomana woMunhu amutswa kubva kuvakafa.”
While they were going down from the mountain, Jesus laid a command on them. "Speak to no man about the vision," he said, "until after the Son of man has been raised 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 Elijah must first come?"
11 Jesu akapindura akati, “Ichokwadi kuti Eria achauya agovandudza zvinhu zvose.
And he answered. "Elijah is coming, and will restore all things.
12 Asi ndinokuudzai kuti Eria akatouya kare asi havana kumuziva, uye vakaita kwaari zvavaida. Saizvozvo Mwanakomana woMunhu achatambudzwa pamaoko avo.”
"Nay, I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they chose. Even so the Son of man also is about to suffer at their hands."
13 Ipapo vadzidzi vakanzwisisa kuti aitaura kwavari nezvaJohani Mubhabhatidzi.
Then the disciples divined that he had been speaking to them about John, the Baptist.
14 Vakati vasvika kuvanhu vazhinji, mumwe murume akauya akasvikopfugama pamberi paJesu akati,
As they reached the crowd, a man came up to Jesus, and fell on his knees before him, saying.
15 “Ishe, donzwiraiwo mwanakomana wangu tsitsi. Ane zvipusha uye ari kutambudzika kwazvo. Kazhinji zvinomuwisira mumoto kana mumvura.
"Master, take pity on my son, for he is an epileptic and sore distressed. Often he falls into the fire and often into the water.
16 Ndauya naye kuvadzidzi venyu asi havana kugona kumuporesa.”
"And I brought him to your disciples, but they could not cure him."
17 Jesu akapindura akati, “Haiwa, imi rudzi rusingatendi uye rwakatsauka, ndichagara nemi kusvikira rinhiko? Uyai nomukomana uyu kwandiri.”
In reply Jesus said. "O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I endure you? Bring him here to me!"
18 Jesu akatuka dhimoni rikabva rabuda mumukomana uya achibva apora kubva panguva iyoyo.
Then Jesus rebuked the evil spirit, and it came out of him; and the boy was cured from that very hour.
19 Ipapo vadzidzi vakauya kuna Jesu vari voga vakamubvunza vachiti, “Ko, takundikana sei kuridzinga?”
Thereupon Jesus’ disciples came to him and asked him privately, "Why were we not able to cast it 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.
"Because of your little faith," he answered. "In solemn truth I tell you that if you have faith the size of a mustard-seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from this place to that!’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.
21 Asi rudzi urwu rwomweya runongobviswa chete nokunyengetera nokutsanya.”
"But this kind is driven out by prayer alone."
22 Vakati vaungana muGarirea Jesu akati kwavari, “Mwanakomana woMunhu achaiswa mumaoko avanhu.
As they continued going from place to place in Galilee, Jesus said to them. "The Son of man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men;
23 Vachamuuraya asi pazuva retatu achamutswa.” Uye vadzidzi vakasuwa kwazvo.
"and they will kill him, but on the third day he will rise again." And they were greatly grieved.
24 Jesu navadzidzi vake vakati vasvika muKapenaume, vateresi vomutemberi vakauya kuna Petro vakabvunza vachiti, “Ko, mudzidzisi wenyu haaripi mutero womutemberi here?”
As they came into Capernaum the collectors of the temple tax came to Peter and asked, "Does not your Teacher pay the temple tax?"
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?”
"Indeed he does," answered Peter. But on Peter’s entering the house, Jesus forestalled him, saying. "How does it seem to you, Simon? From whom do earthly kings collect customs or taxes-from their own people, or from aliens?"
26 Petro akapindura akati, “Kuna vamwe.” Jesu akati, “Saka vana vakasununguka.
And when he replied, "From aliens," Jesus said. "Then their people go 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.”
"Nevertheless, that we may not give offense, go to the seaside, throw in your hook; take the first fish that rises, and when you have opened its mouth, you will find a shekel in it. Take it and give it to them for us both."
