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 to a man [that is] a householder, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers into his vineyard.
2 Akabvumirana navo kuti aizovapa dhinari pazuva, ndokubva avaendesa mumunda wake wemizambiringa.
And when he had agreed with the laborers for a penny 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 idle in the market-place,
4 Akati kwavari, ‘Nemiwo endai mundoshanda mumunda wangu wemizambiringa, ndichakupai zvakakodzera.’
And said to them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatever is right, I will give you. And they departed.
5 Saka vakaenda. “Akabudazve nenguva dzinenge dzechitanhatu nedzepfumbamwe akaita zvimwe chetezvo.
Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.
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 saith to them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
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 ye also into the vineyard; and whatever is right, [that] shall ye receive.
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 was come, the lord of the vineyard saith to his steward, Call the laborers, and give them [their] hire, beginning from the last to the first.
9 “Vashandi vainge vaenda kundoshanda nenguva inenge yegumi neimwe vakauya uye mumwe nomumwe wavo akagamuchira dhinari.
And when they came that [were hired] about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.
10 Saka pakasvika vaya vakanga vatanga kushanda, vakatarisira kupiwa zvakawanda. Asi mumwe nomumwe wavo akapiwa dhinari.
But when the first came, they supposed that they should receive more; and they likewise received every man a penny.
11 Vakati vagamuchira mari iyi vakatanga kutsutsumwira muridzi womunda.
And when they had 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 wrought [but] one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, who have borne the burden and heat of the day.
13 “Asi akapindura mumwe wavo achiti, ‘Shamwari, handina chandakukanganisira. Ko, hauna kutenderana neni kushandira dhinari here?
But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst thou not agree with me for a penny?
14 Tora mubayiro wako uende. Ndinoda kupa munhu ashanda kwokupedzisira zvakafanana nezvandakupa.
Take [that] which [is] thine, and depart: I will give to this last, even as to 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 to do what I will with my own? is thy eye evil 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 chosen.
17 Zvino Jesu paakanga achikwira kuenda kuJerusarema, akatora vadzidzi vake gumi navaviri parutivi akati kwavari,
And Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples apart 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 Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be betrayed to the chief priests, and to 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 mock, and to scourge, and to crucify [him]: and the third day he will rise again.
20 Ipapo mai vavanakomana vaZebhedhi vakauya kuna Jesu navanakomana vavo, vakapfugama pamberi pake vaine chikumbiro.
Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children, with her sons, worshiping [him], and desiring 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.”
And he said to her, What wilt thou: She saith to him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left in thy kingdom.
22 Jesu akati, kwavari, “Hamuzivi zvamuri kukumbira. Mungagona kunwa mukombe wandichazonwa here?” Vakapindura vachiti, “Tinogona.”
But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am 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 saith to them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: 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 is prepared by my Father.
24 Vane gumi vakati vanzwa izvi vakatsamwira mukoma nomununʼuna ava.
And when the ten heard [it], they were moved with indignation against the two brethren.
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, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon 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 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 chief 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 departed 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 way-side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, [thou] son of David.
31 Vanhu vazhinji vakavatsiura vakavarayira kuti vanyarare, asi ivo vakanyanya kudanidzira vachiti, “Ishe, Mwanakomana waDhavhidhi, tinzwireiwo ngoni!”
And the multitude rebuked them, that they should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, [thou] son of David.
32 Jesu akamira akavadana, akavabvunza achiti, “Munoda kuti ndikuitireiko?”
And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do to 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 [on them], and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.
