Mateo 22
1 Jesu akataurazve kwavari nemifananidzo achiti,
UJesu wakhuluma kubo njalo ngemizekeliso wathi:
2 “Umambo hwokudenga hwakafanana namambo akagadzirira mwanakomana wake mutambo wesvitsa.
“Umbuso wezulu unjengenkosi eyalungisela indodana yayo idili lomthimba.
3 Akatuma varanda vake kuna avo vainge vakakokwa kumutambo kuti vachiuya, asi vakaramba kuuya.
Yathuma izinceku zayo kulabo ababenxusiwe edilini ukuba beze kodwa bala ukuza.
4 “Ipapo akatumazve vamwe varanda achiti, ‘Taurirai vose vakakokwa kuti ndagadzirira mabiko: Ndabaya nzombe nemombe dzakakodzwa uye zvose zvagadzirirwa. Uyai kumutambo wesvitsa.’
Yaphinda yathuma ezinye izinceku yathi, ‘Batsheleni labo abanxusiweyo ukuthi sengililungisile idili. Ngihlabe inkabi lenkomo ezinonisiweyo, konke sekulungile. Wozani edilini lomthimba.’
5 “Asi hapana akateerera uye vakaenda mumwe kumunda wake, mumwewo kune rimwe basa rake.
Kodwa kabakunanzanga lokho, bazihambela, omunye waya ensimini yakhe, omunye emsebenzini wakhe.
6 Vamwe vavo vakabata varanda vake vakavaitira zvakaipa uye vakavauraya.
Abanye bazibamba izinceku zayo, bazihlukuluza bazibulala.
7 Mambo akatsamwa kwazvo. Akatuma hondo yake kundoparadza vaurayi vaya uye akapisa guta ravo.
Inkosi yathukuthela. Yathumela impi yayo yababhuqa labobabulali yatshisa idolobho labo.
8 “Ipapo akati kuvaranda vake, ‘Mutambo wesvitsa wagadzirirwa asi vaya vandakakoka vakanga vasingakodzeri kuti vauye.
Yasisithi ezincekwini zayo, ‘Idili lomthimba selilungile kodwa labo engibanxusileyo bebengasafanele ukuza.
9 Endai kumharadzano dzenzira mundokoka kumutambo ani zvake wamuchawana.’
Hambani liye emahlanganweni ezindlela linxuse loba ngubani elimbonayo.’
10 Saka varanda vakaenda mumigwagwa vakandokokorodza vose vavakagona kuwana, vose vakanaka nevakaipa, uye imba yesvitsa ikazara navakanga vakokwa.
Ngakho izinceku zangena ezitaladini zabutha bonke abantu ezababonayo, abalungileyo lababi, indlu yomthimba yagcwala izethekeli.
11 “Asi mambo akati apinda kuzoona vakanga vakokwa, akaona munhu imomo akanga asina nguo yesvitsa.
Kodwa kwathi inkosi ingena ukuzabona izethekeli, yananzelela khonapho indoda eyeyingavunulanga izigqoko zomthimba.
12 Akamubvunza akati, ‘Shamwari, wapinda seiko muno usina nguo yesvitsa?’ Munhu uya akashaya chokureva.
Yabuza yathi, ‘Mngane, ungene njani lapha ungelazigqoko zomthimba?’ Indoda yatsha amathe.
13 “Ipapo mambo akaudza varanda vake akati, ‘Musungei maoko namakumbo mumukande panze, murima, umo muchava nokuchema nokurumanya kwameno.’
Inkosi yasitshela izinceku zayo yathi, ‘Mbopheni izandla lezinyawo limphosele ngaphandle ebumnyameni, lapho okuzakuba khona ukukhala lokugedla kwamazinyo.’
14 “Nokuti vazhinji vakakokwa asi vakasarudzwa vashoma.”
Ngoba banengi ababiziweyo kodwa balutshwana abakhethiweyo.”
15 Ipapo vaFarisi vakabuda vakandoronga kuti vamubate namashoko ake.
Lapho-ke abaFarisi basuka baphuma bayaceba ukuthi bambambe ngamazwi akhe.
16 Vakatuma vadzidzi vavo kwaari pamwe chete navaHerodhi. Vakati, “Mudzidzisi, tinoziva kuti muri munhu akarurama uye kuti munodzidzisa nzira yaMwari zviri maererano nechokwadi. Hamutsauswi navanhu nokuti hamutarisi kuti ndivanaani.
Bathuma abafundi babo kuye behamba lamaHerodiya. Bathi, “Mfundisi, siyazi ukuthi uyindoda eqotho lokuthi ufundisa indlela kaNkulunkulu ngokweqiniso. Kawusuye uthathekile ngoba kawulani lokuthi bangobani.
17 Tiudzei zvino kuti imi, munoti kudini? Zvakanaka here kutera mutero kuna Kesari kana kuti hazvina?”
Sitshele-ke, uthini ngalokhu? Kusemthethweni na ukuthela kuKhesari kumbe hatshi?”
18 Asi Jesu, achiziva kuipa kwavo, akati, “Imi vanyengeri munondiedzereiko?
UJesu ngokwazi inhloso yabo embi wathi, “Lina bazenzisi, lenzani lizama ukungithiya na?
19 Ndiratidzei mari inoshandiswa pakutera mutero.” Vakamuvigira dhenari
Ake lingitshengise uhlamvu lwemali okuthelwa ngayo.” Bamlethela idenari,
20 uye akavabvunza akati, “Ko, mufananidzo uyu ndowaani uye runyoro urwu ndorwaani?”
wasebabuza wathi, “Ngumfanekiso kabani lo? Njalo luphawu lukabani lolu?”
21 Vakapindura vakati, “NdezvaKesari.” Ipapo akati kwavari, “Ipai kuna Kesari zvaKesari, uye kuna Mwari zvaMwari.”
Baphendula bathi, “NgokukaKhesari.” Wasesithi kubo, “Phanini uKhesari okungokukaKhesari loNkulunkulu okungokukaNkulunkulu.”
22 Vakati vanzwa izvi, vakashamiswa. Saka vakamusiya vakaenda.
Bathi besizwa lokhu bamangala. Ngakho basuka kuye bahamba.
23 Pazuva rimwe chetero vaSadhusi, avo vanoti hakuna kumuka kwavakafa, vakauya kwaari nomubvunzo.
Ngalelolanga abaSadusi, abathi kakukho ukuvuka kwabafileyo, beza kuye belombuzo.
24 Vakati, “Mudzidzisi, Mozisi akatiudza kuti murume akafa asina vana mununʼuna wake anofanira kuwana chirikadzi agomuberekera vana.
Bathi, “Mfundisi, uMosi wasitshela wathi, nxa indoda ingafa ingazalanga mntwana, umfowabo kamthathe umfelokazi amzalele abantwana.
25 Zvino pakati pedu paiva navanakomana vomunhu mumwe vanomwe. Wokutanga akawana mukadzi ndokubva iye afa, uye sezvo akanga asina vana, akasiyira mununʼuna wake mukadzi.
Kwakulabafowabo abayisikhombisa phakathi kwethu. Wathatha owakuqala wasesifa, kwathi ngoba engazuzanga mntwana watshiyela umkakhe umfowabo.
26 Zvimwe chetezvo zvakaitika kuno wechipiri nowechitatu kusvikira kuno wechinomwe.
Kwaphinda lokho kowesibili lowesithathu njalo kwaze kwaba ngowesikhombisa.
27 Pakupedzisira mukadzi akazofawo.
Ekucineni wafa lowomfazi.
28 Zvino pakumuka kwavakafa, achava mukadzi waaniko pavanomwe vaya sezvo vose vaiva varume vake?”
Pho-ke, ekuvukeni kwabafileyo uzakuba ngumkabani phakathi kwabayisikhombisa njengoba bonke babemthethe?”
29 Jesu akavapindura akati, “Ndipo pamunorasika ipapo nokuti hamuzivi Magwaro kana simba raMwari.
UJesu waphendula wathi, “Liyalahleka ngoba kaliyazi imibhalo lamandla kaNkulunkulu.
30 Pakumuka kwavakafa vanhu havawani kana kuwanikwa, vachange vakaita savatumwa kudenga.
Ekuvukeni kwabafileyo abantu kabayikuthatha loba bendiswe; bazakuba njengezingilosi ezulwini.
31 Asi pane zvokumuka kwavakafa, hamuna kuverenga here zvakarehwa naMwari kwamuri, achiti,
Kodwa mayelana lokuvuka kwabafileyo, kalibalanga yini lokho uNkulunkulu akutsho kini ukuthi,
32 ‘Ndini Mwari waAbhurahama naMwari waIsaka naMwari waJakobho’? Haasi Mwari wavakafa asi wavapenyu.”
‘NginguNkulunkulu ka-Abhrahama, uNkulunkulu ka-Isaka loNkulunkulu kaJakhobe’? KasuNkulunkulu wabafileyo kodwa owabaphilayo.”
33 Vanhu vazhinji vakati vanzwa izvi, vakashamiswa nokudzidzisa kwake.
Kwathi amaxuku abantu esizwa lokhu amangaliswa yikufundisa kwakhe.
34 Vanzwa kuti Jesu akanga akunda vaSadhusi, vaFarisi vakaungana pamwe chete.
AbaFarisi sebezwile ukuthi uJesu wayesebathulisile abaSadusi, bahlangana ndawonye.
35 Mumwe wavo aiva nyanzvi pane zvemirayiro akamuedza nomubvunzo achiti,
Omunye wabo owayeyisazi somthetho wamlinga ngombuzo wathi,
36 “Mudzidzisi, ndoupi murayiro mukuru muMurayiro?”
“Mfundisi, yiwuphi umlayo omkhulu kulayo yonke eMthethweni?”
37 Jesu akapindura akati, “‘Ida Ishe Mwari wako nomwoyo wako wose, nomweya wako wose nokufunga kwako kwose.’
UJesu waphendula wathi, “‘Thanda iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ngenhliziyo yakho yonke langomphefumulo wakho wonke langengqondo yakho yonke.’
38 Uyu ndiwo murayiro mukuru uye wokutanga.
Yiwo owokuqala njalo odlula yonke imilayo.
39 Wechipiri wakafanana nawo unoti, ‘Ida muvakidzani wako sokuda kwaunozviita iwe.’
Owesibili unjengawo: ‘Thanda umakhelwane wakho njengoba uzithanda wena.’
40 Murayiro wose naVaprofita zvakabatanidzwa pamirayiro iyi miviri.”
Wonke uMthetho labaPhrofethi kweyeme kuyonale imilayo emibili.”
41 VaFarisi pavakanga vachakaungana pamwe chete, Jesu akavabvunza akati,
Kwathi abaFarisi behlangene ndawonye uJesu wababuza wathi,
42 “Munofungei nezvaKristu? Mwana waani?” Vakapindura vachiti, “Mwanakomana waDhavhidhi.”
“Licabangani ngoKhristu? Uyindodana kabani?” Baphendula bathi, “Yindodana kaDavida.”
43 Akati kwavari, “Ko, zvino sei Dhavhidhi achitaura noMweya akamuti, ‘Ishe’? Nokuti anoti,
Wathi kubo, “Kungani pho uDavida wathi ekhuluma ngoMoya umbiza athi ‘Nkosi’? Ngoba uthi,
44 “‘Ishe akati kuna Ishe wangu: Gara kuruoko rwangu rworudyi, kusvikira ndaisa vavengi vako pasi petsoka dzako.’
‘INkosi yathi eNkosini yami: “Hlala ngakwesokunene sami ngize ngibeke izitha zakho ngaphansi kwenyawo zakho.”’
45 Zvino kana Dhavhidhi achimuti, ‘Ishe’ angagova mwanakomana wake sei?”
Pho, nxa uDavida esithi kuye, ‘Nkosi,’ angaba yindodana yakhe njani?”
46 Hapana akagona kutaura shoko rimwe, uye kubva pazuva iroro zvichienda mberi hapana akazoshinga kumubvunza mimwezve mibvunzo.
Kakho loyedwa owaba lelizwi lokumphendula. Kwathi-ke kusukela ngalolosuku kakho owaqunga isibindi sokumbuza eminye imibuzo.
