Mateo 22
1 Jesu akataurazve kwavari nemifananidzo achiti,
UJesu wasephendula wabuya wakhuluma labo ngemifanekiso, wathi:
2 “Umambo hwokudenga hwakafanana namambo akagadzirira mwanakomana wake mutambo wesvitsa.
Umbuso wamazulu ufananiswa lomuntu oyinkosi, owenzela indodana yakhe idili lomtshado;
3 Akatuma varanda vake kuna avo vainge vakakokwa kumutambo kuti vachiuya, asi vakaramba kuuya.
wasethuma inceku zakhe ukuthi zibize abanxusiweyo emtshadweni, kodwa kabavumanga ukubuya.
4 “Ipapo akatumazve vamwe varanda achiti, ‘Taurirai vose vakakokwa kuti ndagadzirira mabiko: Ndabaya nzombe nemombe dzakakodzwa uye zvose zvagadzirirwa. Uyai kumutambo wesvitsa.’
Wabuya wathuma ezinye inceku, esithi: Batsheleni abanxusiweyo ukuthi: Khangelani, sengilungisile ukudla kwami kwemini, inkabi zami lokunonileyo sekuhlatshiwe, izinto zonke sezilungile; wozani emtshadweni.
5 “Asi hapana akateerera uye vakaenda mumwe kumunda wake, mumwewo kune rimwe basa rake.
Kodwa kabananzanga, bazihambela, omunye ensimini yakhe, omunye ekuthengiselaneni kwakhe;
6 Vamwe vavo vakabata varanda vake vakavaitira zvakaipa uye vakavauraya.
abaseleyo basebezibamba inceku zakhe baziphatha kubi bazibulala.
7 Mambo akatsamwa kwazvo. Akatuma hondo yake kundoparadza vaurayi vaya uye akapisa guta ravo.
Kodwa kwathi inkosi ikuzwa lokho yathukuthela, yathuma amabutho ayo yabhubhisa labobabulali, yatshisa umuzi wabo.
8 “Ipapo akati kuvaranda vake, ‘Mutambo wesvitsa wagadzirirwa asi vaya vandakakoka vakanga vasingakodzeri kuti vauye.
Yasisithi encekwini zayo: Umtshado usulungile, kodwa abanxusiweyo bebengafanelanga.
9 Endai kumharadzano dzenzira mundokoka kumutambo ani zvake wamuchawana.’
Ngakho yanini emahlanganweni ezindlela, njalo bonke elingabathola, libabizele emtshadweni.
10 Saka varanda vakaenda mumigwagwa vakandokokorodza vose vavakagona kuwana, vose vakanaka nevakaipa, uye imba yesvitsa ikazara navakanga vakokwa.
Lezonceku zaseziphuma zaya ezindleleni zabutha bonke ezabatholayo, ababi kanye labalungileyo; indlu yomtshado yasigcwala ngabahleziyo.
11 “Asi mambo akati apinda kuzoona vakanga vakokwa, akaona munhu imomo akanga asina nguo yesvitsa.
Kwathi inkosi ingena ukukhangela ababehlezi ekudleni yabona khona umuntu owayengembathanga isembatho somtshado;
12 Akamubvunza akati, ‘Shamwari, wapinda seiko muno usina nguo yesvitsa?’ Munhu uya akashaya chokureva.
yasisithi kuye: Mngane, ungene njani lapha ungelasembatho somtshado? Kodwa yena waqunywa umlomo.
13 “Ipapo mambo akaudza varanda vake akati, ‘Musungei maoko namakumbo mumukande panze, murima, umo muchava nokuchema nokurumanya kwameno.’
Inkosi yasisithi ezincekwini: Mbopheni inyawo lezandla, limsuse limphosele emnyameni ongaphandle; lapho kuzakuba khona ukukhala lokugedla amazinyo.
14 “Nokuti vazhinji vakakokwa asi vakasarudzwa vashoma.”
Ngoba banengi ababiziweyo, kodwa balutshwana abakhethiweyo.
15 Ipapo vaFarisi vakabuda vakandoronga kuti vamubate namashoko ake.
Khona-ke abaFarisi basuka, bacebisana ngokuthi bangamthiya njani ekukhulumeni.
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.
Basebethuma kuye abafundi babo kanye labakaHerodi, besithi: Mfundisi, siyazi ukuthi wena uqotho, ufundisa indlela kaNkulunkulu ngeqiniso, kawukhathaleli muntu, ngoba kawunanzi isimo sabantu.
17 Tiudzei zvino kuti imi, munoti kudini? Zvakanaka here kutera mutero kuna Kesari kana kuti hazvina?”
Ngakho sitshele, wena ucabangani? Kuvunyelwe yini ukuthela kuKesari, kumbe hatshi?
18 Asi Jesu, achiziva kuipa kwavo, akati, “Imi vanyengeri munondiedzereiko?
Kodwa uJesu ebazi ububi babo wathi: Bazenzisi, lingilingelani?
19 Ndiratidzei mari inoshandiswa pakutera mutero.” Vakamuvigira dhenari
Ngitshengisani imali yokuthela. Basebeletha kuye udenariyo.
20 uye akavabvunza akati, “Ko, mufananidzo uyu ndowaani uye runyoro urwu ndorwaani?”
Wasesithi kubo: Ngokabani lumfanekiso lalumbhalo?
21 Vakapindura vakati, “NdezvaKesari.” Ipapo akati kwavari, “Ipai kuna Kesari zvaKesari, uye kuna Mwari zvaMwari.”
Bathi: NgokaKesari. Wasesithi kubo: Ngakho mnikeni uKesari izinto zikaKesari; loNkulunkulu izinto zikaNkulunkulu.
22 Vakati vanzwa izvi, vakashamiswa. Saka vakamusiya vakaenda.
Kwathi sebezwile bamangala; bamtshiya bahamba.
23 Pazuva rimwe chetero vaSadhusi, avo vanoti hakuna kumuka kwavakafa, vakauya kwaari nomubvunzo.
Ngalolosuku kweza kuye abaSadusi, abathi kakukho ukuvuka kwabafileyo, basebembuza,
24 Vakati, “Mudzidzisi, Mozisi akatiudza kuti murume akafa asina vana mununʼuna wake anofanira kuwana chirikadzi agomuberekera vana.
besithi: Mfundisi, uMozisi wathi: Uba umuntu esifa engelabantwana, umfowabo uzamthatha umkakhe, amvusele umfowabo inzalo.
25 Zvino pakati pedu paiva navanakomana vomunhu mumwe vanomwe. Wokutanga akawana mukadzi ndokubva iye afa, uye sezvo akanga asina vana, akasiyira mununʼuna wake mukadzi.
Kwakukhona phakathi kwethu izelamani eziyisikhombisa; owokuqala wasethatha umfazi wafa; futhi engelanzalo, watshiya umkakhe kumfowabo.
26 Zvimwe chetezvo zvakaitika kuno wechipiri nowechitatu kusvikira kuno wechinomwe.
Kwaba njalo lowesibili, lowesithathu, kwaze kwaba kowesikhombisa.
27 Pakupedzisira mukadzi akazofawo.
Kwathi emva kwabo bonke kwafa lomfazi.
28 Zvino pakumuka kwavakafa, achava mukadzi waaniko pavanomwe vaya sezvo vose vaiva varume vake?”
Ngakho ekuvukeni kwabafileyo, uzakuba ngumkabani kwabayisikhombisa? Ngoba bonke babelaye.
29 Jesu akavapindura akati, “Ndipo pamunorasika ipapo nokuti hamuzivi Magwaro kana simba raMwari.
Kodwa uJesu waphendula wathi kubo: Liduhile, lingayazi imibhalo, loba amandla kaNkulunkulu;
30 Pakumuka kwavakafa vanhu havawani kana kuwanikwa, vachange vakaita savatumwa kudenga.
ngoba ekuvukeni kwabafileyo kabathathani, kabendiswa, kodwa banjengengilosi zikaNkulunkulu ezulwini.
31 Asi pane zvokumuka kwavakafa, hamuna kuverenga here zvakarehwa naMwari kwamuri, achiti,
Kodwa mayelana lokuvuka kwabafileyo, kalifundanga yini okwakhulunywa kini nguNkulunkulu, esithi:
32 ‘Ndini Mwari waAbhurahama naMwari waIsaka naMwari waJakobho’? Haasi Mwari wavakafa asi wavapenyu.”
Mina nginguNkulunkulu kaAbrahama, loNkulunkulu kaIsaka, loNkulunkulu kaJakobe? UNkulunkulu kayisuye uNkulunkulu wabafileyo, kodwa owabaphilayo.
33 Vanhu vazhinji vakati vanzwa izvi, vakashamiswa nokudzidzisa kwake.
Kwathi amaxuku ekuzwa amangala kakhulu ngokufundisa kwakhe.
34 Vanzwa kuti Jesu akanga akunda vaSadhusi, vaFarisi vakaungana pamwe chete.
Kwathi abaFarisi, sebezwile ukuthi uJesu ubaqume umlomo abaSadusi, babuthana ndawonye.
35 Mumwe wavo aiva nyanzvi pane zvemirayiro akamuedza nomubvunzo achiti,
Lomunye wabo, isazumthetho, wambuza, emlinga, esithi:
36 “Mudzidzisi, ndoupi murayiro mukuru muMurayiro?”
Mfundisi, yiwuphi umlayo omkhulu emthethweni?
37 Jesu akapindura akati, “‘Ida Ishe Mwari wako nomwoyo wako wose, nomweya wako wose nokufunga kwako kwose.’
UJesu wasesithi kuye: Wothanda iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho, ngenhliziyo yakho yonke, langomphefumulo wakho wonke, langengqondo yakho yonke;
38 Uyu ndiwo murayiro mukuru uye wokutanga.
yiwo lowo umlayo owokuqala lomkhulu.
39 Wechipiri wakafanana nawo unoti, ‘Ida muvakidzani wako sokuda kwaunozviita iwe.’
Lowesibili ufanana lawo uthi: Wothanda umakhelwane wakho njengalokhu uzithanda wena.
40 Murayiro wose naVaprofita zvakabatanidzwa pamirayiro iyi miviri.”
Kuleyomilayo emibili kweyeme umthetho wonke labaprofethi.
41 VaFarisi pavakanga vachakaungana pamwe chete, Jesu akavabvunza akati,
Kwathi sebebuthene abaFarisi, uJesu wababuza,
42 “Munofungei nezvaKristu? Mwana waani?” Vakapindura vachiti, “Mwanakomana waDhavhidhi.”
esithi: Licabangani ngoKristu? Uyindodana kabani? Bathi kuye: NgekaDavida.
43 Akati kwavari, “Ko, zvino sei Dhavhidhi achitaura noMweya akamuti, ‘Ishe’? Nokuti anoti,
Wathi kubo: Pho uDavida wambiza njani ekuMoya ngokuthi yiNkosi, esithi:
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 ngenze izitha zakho zibe yisenabelo senyawo zakho?
45 Zvino kana Dhavhidhi achimuti, ‘Ishe’ angagova mwanakomana wake sei?”
Ngakho uba uDavida embiza ngokuthi yiNkosi, uyiNdodana yakhe njani?
46 Hapana akagona kutaura shoko rimwe, uye kubva pazuva iroro zvichienda mberi hapana akazoshinga kumubvunza mimwezve mibvunzo.
Njalo kwakungekho owayengamphendula ilizwi; kusukela ngalolosuku kakwabe kusaba khona umuntu olesibindi sokumbuza.
