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 a man, a house-lord, who went forth in the early morn to hire labourers for his vinery.
2 Akabvumirana navo kuti aizovapa dhinari pazuva, ndokubva avaendesa mumunda wake wemizambiringa.
And he bargained with the labourers for a denarius a day, and sent them into his vinery.
3 “Nenguva inenge yechitatu akabuda ndokuona vamwe vamire pamusika vasina chavaiita.
And he went forth in three hours, and saw others who were standing in the public place and unemployed.
4 Akati kwavari, ‘Nemiwo endai mundoshanda mumunda wangu wemizambiringa, ndichakupai zvakakodzera.’
And he said to them, Go also you in the vinery, and what is suitable I will give you. Then went they.
5 Saka vakaenda. “Akabudazve nenguva dzinenge dzechitanhatu nedzepfumbamwe akaita zvimwe chetezvo.
And he went forth again in six and nine hours, and did the same.
6 Nenguva inenge yegumi neimwe akabuda akawanazve vamwe vamire. Akavabvunza achiti, ‘Seiko, maswera makangomira pano zuva rose musina chamuri kuita?’
And about eleven hours he went out, and found others who were standing and unemployed; and he said to them, Why are you standing all the day unemployed?
7 “Vakapindura vachiti, ‘Nokuti hapana munhu atipa basa.’ “Akati kwavari, ‘Nemiwo endai mundoshanda mumunda wangu wemizambiringa.’
They say to him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith to them, Go also you into the vinery, and whatever is suitable 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.’
But when it was evening, the lord of the vinery said to the chief of his household, Call the workmen and give to them their wages; and begin from the last unto the first.
9 “Vashandi vainge vaenda kundoshanda nenguva inenge yegumi neimwe vakauya uye mumwe nomumwe wavo akagamuchira dhinari.
And they came who (had wrought) from eleven hours; and they received each a denarius.
10 Saka pakasvika vaya vakanga vatanga kushanda, vakatarisira kupiwa zvakawanda. Asi mumwe nomumwe wavo akapiwa dhinari.
But when the first came, they expected to take more; but they also received each a denarius.
11 Vakati vagamuchira mari iyi vakatanga kutsutsumwira muridzi womunda.
And when they had received, they murmured against the house-lord,
12 Vakati, ‘Varume ava vapedzisira vangoshanda awa imwe chete, asi mavaenzanisa nesu tatakura mutoro webasa uye tikapiswa nezuva.’
and said, These last have wrought one hour, and thou hast made them equal with us, who have borne the burden of the day and its 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, My friend, I am not unjust towards thee: didst thou not bargain with me for a denarius?
14 Tora mubayiro wako uende. Ndinoda kupa munhu ashanda kwokupedzisira zvakafanana nezvandakupa.
Take what is thine and go: I will unto these last to give as unto thee.
15 Ko, handina kodzero here yokuita zvandinoda nemari yangu? Kana kuti iwe une godo nokuda kwokupa kwangu zvakawanda.’
Is it not lawful for me that whatsoever l am willing, I may do with mine own? Is thine eye evil because I am good?
16 “Saka vokupedzisira vachava vokutanga uye vokutanga vachava vokupedzisira.”
Thus the last shall be first, and the first last; for many are the called, but few the chosen.
17 Zvino Jesu paakanga achikwira kuenda kuJerusarema, akatora vadzidzi vake gumi navaviri parutivi akati kwavari,
NOW Jeshu was about to go up to Urishlem, and he took his twelve disciples by themselves in the way, and said to them,
18 “Tiri kukwira kuenda kuJerusarema, uye Mwanakomana woMunhu achaiswa kuvaprista vakuru navadzidzisi vomurayiro. Vachamutongera rufu
Behold, we go up to Urishlem, and the Son of man is betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes, and they shall condemn him to the death;
19 uye vagomuisa kune veDzimwe Ndudzi kuti asekwe agorohwa uye arovererwe pamuchinjikwa. Pazuva retatu achamutswa kuti ave mupenyu!”
and they shall consign him to the Gentiles, and they shall mock him, and scourge him, and shall crucify him, and on the third day he shall arise.
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 Zabdai, she and her sons, and worshipped him, and supplicated a certain thing 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.”
But he said to her, What wilt thou? She said to him, Declare that these my two sons shall sit, one at thy right hand, and one at thy left, in thy kingdom.
22 Jesu akati, kwavari, “Hamuzivi zvamuri kukumbira. Mungagona kunwa mukombe wandichazonwa here?” Vakapindura vachiti, “Tinogona.”
Jeshu answered and said, You know not what you ask: are you able to drink the cup of which I am about to drink, or with the baptism with which I am baptized will you be baptized? They say unto 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.”
He saith to them, My cup you shall drink, and with the baptism with which I am baptized you shall be baptized: but that you may sit at my right hand, and at my left, is not mine to give, unless to them for whom it is prepared by my Father.
24 Vane gumi vakati vanzwa izvi vakatsamwira mukoma nomununʼuna ava.
And when the ten heard it, they were indignant against those 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.
And Jeshu called them, and said to them, You know that the princes of the Gentiles are their lords, and their great ones exercise power over them;
26 Ngazvirege kudaro kwamuri. Asi ani naani anoda kuva mukuru pakati penyu anofanira kuva muranda wenyu,
but it shall not be so among you; but whoever among you willeth to be great, let him be minister to you.
27 uye ani naani anoda kuva wokutanga anofanira kuva nhapwa yenyu,
And whoever among you willeth to be first, let him be to you the servant.
28 sezvazvakangoita kuti Mwanakomana woMunhu haana kuuya kuzoshandirwa asi kuzoshandira, nokupa upenyu hwake sorudzikinuro rwavazhinji.”
So, the Son of man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life the redemption for many.
29 Jesu navadzidzi vake pavakabva kuJeriko, vanhu vazhinji kwazvo vakamutevera.
AND when Jeshu went forth from Jirichu, a great multitude cometh after 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 were sitting by the side of the way; and when they heard that Jeshu was passing, they gave voice, saying, Be merciful upon us, my Lord, Son of David!
31 Vanhu vazhinji vakavatsiura vakavarayira kuti vanyarare, asi ivo vakanyanya kudanidzira vachiti, “Ishe, Mwanakomana waDhavhidhi, tinzwireiwo ngoni!”
But the crowds rebuked them that they should be silent; but they lifted up their voice the more, saying, Our Lord, be merciful upon us, O Son of David!
32 Jesu akamira akavadana, akavabvunza achiti, “Munoda kuti ndikuitireiko?”
And Jeshu stood and called them, and said, What will you that I should do for you?
33 Vakapindura vachiti, “Ishe, tinoda kuona.”
They say to him, Our Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
34 Jesu akavanzwira tsitsi uye akabata meso avo. Pakarepo vakabva vaona uye vakamutevera.
And he had compassion on them, and touched their eyes, and immediately their eyes were opened, and they went after him.
