Mateo 20
1 “Nokuti umambo hwokudenga hwakafanana nomuridzi womunda akabuda mangwanani-ngwanani kundotsvaka vanhu vokuti vazoshanda mumunda wake wemizambiringa.
For the kingdom of heaven is like the master of a house, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.
2 Akabvumirana navo kuti aizovapa dhinari pazuva, ndokubva avaendesa mumunda wake wemizambiringa.
And when he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
3 “Nenguva inenge yechitatu akabuda ndokuona vamwe vamire pamusika vasina chavaiita.
And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing in the market, idle;
4 Akati kwavari, ‘Nemiwo endai mundoshanda mumunda wangu wemizambiringa, ndichakupai zvakakodzera.’
and he said to them: Go you also into my vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.
5 Saka vakaenda. “Akabudazve nenguva dzinenge dzechitanhatu nedzepfumbamwe akaita zvimwe chetezvo.
And they went. Again he went out about the sixth, and about the ninth hour, and did in like manner.
6 Nenguva inenge yegumi neimwe akabuda akawanazve vamwe vamire. Akavabvunza achiti, ‘Seiko, maswera makangomira pano zuva rose musina chamuri kuita?’
And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and said to them, Why do you stand here all the day idle?
7 “Vakapindura vachiti, ‘Nokuti hapana munhu atipa basa.’ “Akati kwavari, ‘Nemiwo endai mundoshanda mumunda wangu wemizambiringa.’
They said to him: No man has hired us. He said to them: Go you also into the vineyard, and whatever is right you shall receive.
8 “Akati ava madekwana, muridzi womunda wemizambiringa akati kumutariri wake, ‘Dana vashandi ugovapa mubayiro wavo, uchitanga navapedzisira kupiwa basa kusvikira kune vokutanga.’
When the evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward: Call the laborers, and, beginning with the last, pay them their hire even to the first.
9 “Vashandi vainge vaenda kundoshanda nenguva inenge yegumi neimwe vakauya uye mumwe nomumwe wavo akagamuchira dhinari.
And when those came who had been hired about the eleventh hour, they received each one a denarius.
10 Saka pakasvika vaya vakanga vatanga kushanda, vakatarisira kupiwa zvakawanda. Asi mumwe nomumwe wavo akapiwa dhinari.
But when those came who had been hired first, they thought that they would receive more; and they received each one a denarius.
11 Vakati vagamuchira mari iyi vakatanga kutsutsumwira muridzi womunda.
And when they received it, they murmured against the master of the house,
12 Vakati, ‘Varume ava vapedzisira vangoshanda awa imwe chete, asi mavaenzanisa nesu tatakura mutoro webasa uye tikapiswa nezuva.’
saying: These last have worked one hour, and you have made them equal to us, who have borne the burden of the day, and the heat.
13 “Asi akapindura mumwe wavo achiti, ‘Shamwari, handina chandakukanganisira. Ko, hauna kutenderana neni kushandira dhinari here?
But he answered and said to one of them: Friend, I do you no injustice; did you not agree with me for a denarius?
14 Tora mubayiro wako uende. Ndinoda kupa munhu ashanda kwokupedzisira zvakafanana nezvandakupa.
Take what is yours, and go; I will give to this last even as to you.
15 Ko, handina kodzero here yokuita zvandinoda nemari yangu? Kana kuti iwe une godo nokuda kwokupa kwangu zvakawanda.’
Is it not allowed me to do what I will with my own? Or, is your eye envious, because I am good?
16 “Saka vokupedzisira vachava vokutanga uye vokutanga vachava vokupedzisira.”
So the last shall be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few are chosen.
17 Zvino Jesu paakanga achikwira kuenda kuJerusarema, akatora vadzidzi vake gumi navaviri parutivi akati kwavari,
And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside on his journey, and said to them:
18 “Tiri kukwira kuenda kuJerusarema, uye Mwanakomana woMunhu achaiswa kuvaprista vakuru navadzidzisi vomurayiro. Vachamutongera rufu
Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death,
19 uye vagomuisa kune veDzimwe Ndudzi kuti asekwe agorohwa uye arovererwe pamuchinjikwa. Pazuva retatu achamutswa kuti ave mupenyu!”
and will deliver him to the Gentiles to deride, and to scourge, and to crucify: and on the third day he shall rise again.
20 Ipapo mai vavanakomana vaZebhedhi vakauya kuna Jesu navanakomana vavo, vakapfugama pamberi pake vaine chikumbiro.
Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, bowing down, and asking something of him.
21 Akabvunza akati, “Munodeiko?” Ivo vakati, “Itaiwo kuti mumwe wavanakomana vangu vaviri ava agare kuruoko rwenyu rworudyi uye mumwe kuruboshwe rwenyu muumambo hwenyu.”
He said to her: What do you wish? She said to him: Command that these two sons of mine may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left, in thy kingdom.
22 Jesu akati, kwavari, “Hamuzivi zvamuri kukumbira. Mungagona kunwa mukombe wandichazonwa here?” Vakapindura vachiti, “Tinogona.”
But Jesus answered and said: You know not what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and to be immersed with the immersion with which I am immersed? They said to him: We are able.
23 Jesu akati kwavari, “Zvirokwazvo muchanwa mumukombe wangu, asi zvokuti mugare kurudyi kana kuruboshwe rwangu, handisini ndinopa. Nzvimbo idzi ndedzaavo vakadzigadzirirwa naBaba vangu.”
And he said to them: You shall drink my cup, and be immersed with the immersion with which I am immersed: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it has been prepared by my Father.
24 Vane gumi vakati vanzwa izvi vakatsamwira mukoma nomununʼuna ava.
And when the ten heard it, their anger was aroused against the two brothers.
25 Jesu akavadana pamwe chete uye akati, “Munoziva kuti vatongi veveDzimwe Ndudzi vanobata ushe pamusoro pavo uye machinda avo makuru anoshandisa simba pamusoro pavo.
But Jesus called them to him, and said: You know that the rulers of the Gentiles act as lords over them, and their great men have authority over them.
26 Ngazvirege kudaro kwamuri. Asi ani naani anoda kuva mukuru pakati penyu anofanira kuva muranda wenyu,
It shall not be so among you. But whoever will be great among you, let him be your minister.
27 uye ani naani anoda kuva wokutanga anofanira kuva nhapwa yenyu,
And whoever will be first among you, let him be your servant;
28 sezvazvakangoita kuti Mwanakomana woMunhu haana kuuya kuzoshandirwa asi kuzoshandira, nokupa upenyu hwake sorudzikinuro rwavazhinji.”
even as the Son of man came, not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
29 Jesu navadzidzi vake pavakabva kuJeriko, vanhu vazhinji kwazvo vakamutevera.
And as they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
30 Varume vaviri vaiva mapofu vakanga vagere parutivi rwenzira, pavakanzwa kuti Jesu ainge opfuura nepo vakadanidzira vachiti, “Ishe, Mwanakomana waDhavhidhi, tinzwireiwo ngoni!”
And behold, two blind men, sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying: Have mercy on us, Lord, son of David.
31 Vanhu vazhinji vakavatsiura vakavarayira kuti vanyarare, asi ivo vakanyanya kudanidzira vachiti, “Ishe, Mwanakomana waDhavhidhi, tinzwireiwo ngoni!”
And the multitude charged them to be silent. But they cried the more, saying: Have mercy on us, Lord, son of David.
32 Jesu akamira akavadana, akavabvunza achiti, “Munoda kuti ndikuitireiko?”
And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said: What do you wish me to do for you?
33 Vakapindura vachiti, “Ishe, tinoda kuona.”
They said to him: Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
34 Jesu akavanzwira tsitsi uye akabata meso avo. Pakarepo vakabva vaona uye vakamutevera.
Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes; and their eyes immediately received sight, and they followed him.
