Mateo 20
1 “Nokuti umambo hwokudenga hwakafanana nomuridzi womunda akabuda mangwanani-ngwanani kundotsvaka vanhu vokuti vazoshanda mumunda wake wemizambiringa.
“For the kingdom of the heavens is like a certain landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.
2 Akabvumirana navo kuti aizovapa dhinari pazuva, ndokubva avaendesa mumunda wake wemizambiringa.
And agreeing with the workers for a denarius a day he sent them into his vineyard.
3 “Nenguva inenge yechitatu akabuda ndokuona vamwe vamire pamusika vasina chavaiita.
And going out about the third hour [9 a.m.] he saw others standing idle in the marketplace.
4 Akati kwavari, ‘Nemiwo endai mundoshanda mumunda wangu wemizambiringa, ndichakupai zvakakodzera.’
And he said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard and I will give you whatever is right.’ So off they went.
5 Saka vakaenda. “Akabudazve nenguva dzinenge dzechitanhatu nedzepfumbamwe akaita zvimwe chetezvo.
He went out again about the sixth hour, and the ninth, and did the same.
6 Nenguva inenge yegumi neimwe akabuda akawanazve vamwe vamire. Akavabvunza achiti, ‘Seiko, maswera makangomira pano zuva rose musina chamuri kuita?’
Now about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle, and he says to them, ‘Why have you stood here idle all day?’
7 “Vakapindura vachiti, ‘Nokuti hapana munhu atipa basa.’ “Akati kwavari, ‘Nemiwo endai mundoshanda mumunda wangu wemizambiringa.’
They say to him, ‘Because no one hired us.’ He says to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and you will receive whatever is right.’
8 “Akati ava madekwana, muridzi womunda wemizambiringa akati kumutariri wake, ‘Dana vashandi ugovapa mubayiro wavo, uchitanga navapedzisira kupiwa basa kusvikira kune vokutanga.’
So when evening had come the owner of the vineyard says to his foreman, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wage, beginning at the last to the first.’
9 “Vashandi vainge vaenda kundoshanda nenguva inenge yegumi neimwe vakauya uye mumwe nomumwe wavo akagamuchira dhinari.
The eleventh hour ones came and each received a denarius.
10 Saka pakasvika vaya vakanga vatanga kushanda, vakatarisira kupiwa zvakawanda. Asi mumwe nomumwe wavo akapiwa dhinari.
So when the first ones came they supposed that they would receive more; yet each of them also received a denarius.
11 Vakati vagamuchira mari iyi vakatanga kutsutsumwira muridzi womunda.
When they received it they began grumbling against the landowner
12 Vakati, ‘Varume ava vapedzisira vangoshanda awa imwe chete, asi mavaenzanisa nesu tatakura mutoro webasa uye tikapiswa nezuva.’
saying, ‘These last worked only one hour, and you made them equal to us who bore the burden and the heat of the day!’
13 “Asi akapindura mumwe wavo achiti, ‘Shamwari, handina chandakukanganisira. Ko, hauna kutenderana neni kushandira dhinari here?
But in answer he said to one of them: ‘Friend, I am not wronging you. 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 wish to give to this last one just as to you.
15 Ko, handina kodzero here yokuita zvandinoda nemari yangu? Kana kuti iwe une godo nokuda kwokupa kwangu zvakawanda.’
Or is it not permissible for me to do what I want with what is mine? Is your eye evil because I am good?’
16 “Saka vokupedzisira vachava vokutanga uye vokutanga vachava vokupedzisira.”
Just so the last will 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,
As Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem He took the twelve disciples aside on the road and said to them privately:
18 “Tiri kukwira kuenda kuJerusarema, uye Mwanakomana woMunhu achaiswa kuvaprista vakuru navadzidzisi vomurayiro. Vachamutongera rufu
“Listen! We are going up to Jerusalem and the Son of the Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and 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 they will hand Him over to the Gentiles to mock, to scourge and to crucify. And on the third day He will rise!”
20 Ipapo mai vavanakomana vaZebhedhi vakauya kuna Jesu navanakomana vavo, vakapfugama pamberi pake vaine chikumbiro.
Then the mother of Zebedee's sons approached Him, with her sons, and kneeling down she asked something from Him.
21 Akabvunza akati, “Munodeiko?” Ivo vakati, “Itaiwo kuti mumwe wavanakomana vangu vaviri ava agare kuruoko rwenyu rworudyi uye mumwe kuruboshwe rwenyu muumambo hwenyu.”
So He said to her, “What do you wish?” She says to Him, “State that these my two sons may sit one on Your right and one on Your left in Your kingdom.”
22 Jesu akati, kwavari, “Hamuzivi zvamuri kukumbira. Mungagona kunwa mukombe wandichazonwa here?” Vakapindura vachiti, “Tinogona.”
But in answer Jesus said: “You (pl.) do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup which I am about to drink, or to be baptized with the baptism that I am being baptized with?” They say 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 says to them: “You will indeed drink my cup, and you will be baptized with the baptism that I am being baptized with, but to sit on my right and on my left is not mine to give; rather it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”
24 Vane gumi vakati vanzwa izvi vakatsamwira mukoma nomununʼuna ava.
Now when the ten heard it they were indignant at 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 summoning them Jesus said: “You know that the rulers of the nations lord it over them, and the great exercise authority over them;
26 Ngazvirege kudaro kwamuri. Asi ani naani anoda kuva mukuru pakati penyu anofanira kuva muranda wenyu,
but it must not be so among you. Rather, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,
27 uye ani naani anoda kuva wokutanga anofanira kuva nhapwa yenyu,
and whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave;
28 sezvazvakangoita kuti Mwanakomana woMunhu haana kuuya kuzoshandirwa asi kuzoshandira, nokupa upenyu hwake sorudzikinuro rwavazhinji.”
just like the Son of the Man—He did not come to be served but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”
29 Jesu navadzidzi vake pavakabva kuJeriko, vanhu vazhinji kwazvo vakamutevera.
Now as they went on from Jericho a large crowd 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 then, two blind men sitting alongside the road and hearing, “Jesus is 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!”
So the crowd threatened them to be quiet, but they cried out all the more saying, “Have mercy on us, Lord, Son of David!”
32 Jesu akamira akavadana, akavabvunza achiti, “Munoda kuti ndikuitireiko?”
Jesus stopped, called them and said, “What do you want me to do for you?”
33 Vakapindura vachiti, “Ishe, tinoda kuona.”
They say to Him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened!”
34 Jesu akavanzwira tsitsi uye akabata meso avo. Pakarepo vakabva vaona uye vakamutevera.
So Jesus had compassion and touched their eyes, and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed Him.
