Mateo 26
1 Jesu akati apedza kutaura zvinhu zvose izvi, akati kuvadzidzi vake,
AND it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples,
2 “Sezvamunoziva, Pasika yasarirwa namazuva maviri kuti isvike, uye Mwanakomana woMunhu achaendeswa kuti andorovererwa pamuchinjikwa.”
Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
3 Ipapo vaprista vakuru navakuru vavanhu vakandoungana mumuzinda womuprista mukuru ainzi Kayafasi,
Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
4 uye vakarangana kuti vasunge Jesu namano vagomuuraya.
And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.
5 Vakati, “Asi kwete panguva yoMutambo nokuti pangaita bope pakati pavanhu.”
But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.
6 Jesu paakanga ari muBhetani mumba momurume ainzi Simoni waMaperembudzi,
Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
7 mumwe mukadzi akauya kwaari nechinu chamafuta anonhuhwira, omutengo mukuru, akasvikoadururira pamusoro wake, agere patafura.
There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.
8 Vadzidzi vakati vachiona izvi, vakatsamwa uye vakati, “Kuparadza kwakadai kwaitirweiko?
But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
9 Mafuta anonhuhwira aya angadai atengeswa nomutengo mukuru kwazvo uye mari yacho yapiwa varombo.”
For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
10 Achiziva izvi, Jesu akati kwavari, “Munotambudzireiko mukadzi uyu? Andiitira chinhu chakanaka kwazvo.
When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
11 Varombo munavo nguva dzose, asi ini hamuchava neni nguva dzose.
For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
12 Paadira mafuta anonhuhwira pamuviri wangu, azviita kuti agadzirire kuvigwa kwangu.
For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.
13 Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti, kwose kwose kuchaparidzwa vhangeri iri munyika yose, zvaaita izvi zvichange zvichitaurwawo kuti vamurangarire nazvo.”
Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
14 Ipapo mumwe wavane gumi navaviri, ainzi Judhasi Iskarioti, akaenda kuvaprista vakuru
Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,
15 akandobvunza achiti, “Muchandipei kana ndikamuuyisa kwamuri?” Saka vakamuverengera makumi matatu esirivha.
And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.
16 Kubva ipapo zvichienda mberi Judhasi akamirira mukana wokuti amuise kwavari.
And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
17 Pazuva rokutanga roMutambo weZvingwa Zvisina Mbiriso, vadzidzi vakauya kuna Jesu vakasvikomubvunza vachiti, “Ndokupi kwamunoda kuti tindokugadzirirai kuti mugodyira Pasika?”
Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?
18 Akavapindura akati, “Endai muguta kuno mumwe murume munosvikomuudza kuti, ‘Mudzidzisi anoti: Nguva yangu yakatarwa yava pedyo. Ndichapemberera Pasika navadzidzi vangu mumba mako.’”
And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.
19 Saka vadzidzi vakaita sokurayirwa kwavakanga vaitwa naJesu vakandogadzira Pasika.
And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.
20 Ava madekwana Jesu akagara patafura navane gumi navaviri.
Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.
21 Vari pakati pokudya akati, “Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti mumwe wenyu achandipandukira.”
And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
22 Vakasuwa zvikuru uye vakatanga, mumwe nomumwe kuti, “Chokwadi, ndini here, Ishe?”
And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?
23 Jesu akapindura akati, “Munhu aisa ruoko neni mundiro, ndiye achandipandukira.
And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.
24 Mwanakomana woMunhu achaenda hake sokunyorwa kwazvakaitwa nezvake. Asi ane nhamo munhu uyo anopandukira Mwanakomana woMunhu! Zvingadai zvaiva nani kwaari dai asina kuberekwa.”
The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.
25 Zvino Judhasi uyo aizomupandukira akati, “Chokwadi, ndini here, Rabhi?” Jesu akapindura akati, “Hongu, ndiwe.”
Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.
26 Vachiri kudya, Jesu akatora chingwa, akavonga akachimedura, uye akapa vadzidzi vake, achiti, “Torai mudye; uyu ndiwo muviri wangu.”
And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
27 Ipapo akatora mukombe, akavonga uye akavapa achiti, “Inwai mose.
And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
28 Iri iropa rangu resungano itsva rinodururirwa vazhinji kuti vagoregererwa zvivi zvavo.
For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
29 Ndinokuudzai kuti, handichazonwi zvibereko zvomuzambiringa kubvira zvino kusvikira zuva iro randichazvinwa patsva nemi muumambo hwaBaba vangu.”
But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.
30 Vakati vaimba rwiyo, vakabuda vakaenda kuGomo reMiorivhi.
And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
31 Ipapo Jesu akati kwavari, “Usiku huno imi mose muchatiza nokuti kwakanyorwa kuchinzi: “‘Ndicharova mufudzi, boka ramakwai rigopararira.’
Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.
32 Asi mushure mokunge ndamuka, ndichafanotungamira kuGarirea.”
But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.
33 Petro akapindura akati, “Kunyange vamwe vose vakatiza nokuda kwenyu, ini handizoiti izvozvo.”
Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.
34 Jesu akati, “Ndinokuudza chokwadi kuti usiku huno chaihwo, jongwe risati rarira uchandiramba katatu.”
Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
35 Asi Petro akati kwaari, “Kunyange ndichifanira kufa nemi, handingatongokurambai.” Vamwe vadzidzi vose vakadarowo.
Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.
36 Ipapo Jesu akaenda navadzidzi vake kunzvimbo inonzi Getsemani, uye akati kwavari, “Garai pano ini ndichienda apo kundonyengetera.”
Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.
37 Akatora Petro navanakomana vaZebhedhi vaviri akaenda navo, uye akatanga kusuwa, uye akatambudzika.
And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
38 Ipapo akati kwavari, “Mweya wangu uri kushungurudzika kwazvo kusvika pakufa. Garai pano uye murinde pamwe chete neni.”
Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
39 Akaenda mberi zvishoma, akawira pasi nechiso chake akanyengetera achiti, “Baba vangu, kana zvichibvira mukombe uyu ngaubviswe kwandiri. Asi kwete kuda kwangu asi kuda kwenyu.”
And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
40 Ipapo akadzokera kuvadzidzi vake akavawana vavata. Akabvunza Petro achiti, “Varume, matadza kurinda neni kweawa imwe chete?
And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
41 Rindai uye munyengetere kuti murege kupinda mukuedzwa. Mweya unoda, asi muviri wakaneta.”
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
42 Akaendazve kechipiri akanyengetera achiti, “Baba vangu, kana zvisingagoni kuti mukombe uyu ubviswe kwandiri kunze kwokutenge ndaunwa, kuda kwenyu ngakuitwe.”
He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
43 Paakadzoka, akavawanazve vavata nokuti meso avo akanga azere nehope.
And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.
44 Saka akavasiya akaendazve uye akanyengetera kechitatu, achitaura zvimwe chetezvo.
And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
45 Ipapo akadzokazve kuvadzidzi akati kwavari, “Muchakavata uye muchakazorora here? Tarirai, nguva yava pedyo, uye Mwanakomana woMunhu ari kupandukirwa achiiswa mumaoko avatadzi.
Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
46 Simukai, ngatichiendai! Anondipandukira uya ouya!”
Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.
47 Paakanga achiri kutaura kudaro, Judhasi, mumwe wevane gumi navaviri akasvika. Akauya navanhu vazhinji vakanga vakabata minondo netsvimbo, vakanga vatumwa navaprista vakuru navakuru vavanhu.
And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
48 Zvino uya akamupandukira ainge avaudza chiratidzo achiti, “Uyo wandinotsvoda ndiye; mumusunge.”
Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.
49 Judhasi akaenda pakarepo kuna Jesu akati, “Kwaziwai, Rabhi!” uye akamutsvoda.
And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.
50 Jesu akamupindura achiti, “Shamwari, ita zvawavinga.” Ipapo varume vakaswedera pedyo vakabata Jesu, vakamusunga.
And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
51 Ipapo mumwe waavo vaiva naJesu akavhomora munondo wake ndokugura nzeve yomuranda womuprista mukuru.
And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest’s, and smote off his ear.
52 Zvino Jesu akati kwaari, “Dzorera munondo wako mumuhara mawo, nokuti vose vanovhomora munondo vachafa nomunondo.
Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
53 Unofunga kuti handigoni here kukumbira kuna Baba vangu, vakandipa iye zvino, vatumwa vanopfuura mapoka makuru gumi namaviri?
Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
54 Asi Magwaro angagozadziswa sei anoti zvinofanira kuitika saizvozvo?”
But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
55 Panguva iyoyo Jesu akati kuvanhu vazhinji vaivapo, “Ko, ndinotungamirira vapanduki here zvamauya neminondo netsvimbo kuzondibata? Mazuva ose ndaigara mutemberi ndichidzidzisa uye hamuna kundisunga.
In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.
56 Asi izvi zvose zvaitika kuti zvakanyorwa navaprofita zvizadziswe.” Ipapo vadzidzi vose vakamusiya uye vakatiza.
But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.
57 Vaya vakanga vasunga Jesu vakaenda naye kuna Kayafasi, muprista mukuru, uko kwakanga kwakaungana vadzidzisi vomurayiro navamwe vakuru.
And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
58 Asi Petro akamutevera ari chinhambwe kusvikira paruvazhe rwomuprista mukuru. Akapinda akagara pasi pamwe chete navarindi kuti aone maperero azvo.
But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest’s palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.
59 Vaprista vakuru nedare rose ramakurukota vakanga vachitsvaka zvapupu zvenhema kuti zvipomere Jesu mhosva kuti vamuuraye.
Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;
60 Asi havana zvavakawana, kunyange zvazvo zvapupu zvenhema zvakauya pamberi. Pakupedzisira, vaviri vakauya
But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,
61 vakati, “Munhu uyu akati, ‘Ndinogona kuputsa temberi yaMwari ndigoivakazve namazuva matatu.’”
And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.
62 Ipapo muprista mukuru akasimuka akati kuna Jesu, “Ko, haupinduri here? Uchapupu uhu hunorehwa navarume ava pamusoro pako ndohwei?”
And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?
63 Asi Jesu akaramba anyerere. Muprista mukuru akati kwaari, “Ndinokurayira, sezvo wapika naMwari mupenyu, kuti, ‘Tiudze kana uri iwe Kristu, Mwanakomana waMwari.’”
But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.
64 Jesu akapindura akati, “Hongu, ndizvo zvamataura. Asi ndinoti kwamuri mose: Munguva inouya muchaona Mwanakomana woMunhu agere kurudyi rwaSamasimba uye achiuya ari mumakore okudenga.”
Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
65 Ipapo muprista mukuru akabvarura nguo dzake akati, “Ataura zvinomhura. Tichagodirei zvimwe zvapupu? Tarirai, zvino manzwa kumhura kwake.
Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.
66 Munofungei nazvo?” Vakapindura vachiti, “Anofanira kufa!”
What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.
67 Ipapo vakamusvipira mate kumeso uye vakamurova netsiva. Vamwe vakamurova nembama
Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,
68 uye vakati, “Profita kwatiri, Kristu. Ndiani akurova?”
Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?
69 Zvino Petro akanga agere panze muruvazhe, uye mumwe muranda wechisikana akauya kwaari akati, “Newewo wakanga una Jesu weGarirea.”
Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.
70 Asi akaramba pamberi pavo vose achiti, “Handizivi zvauri kutaura nezvazvo.”
But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.
71 Ipapo akabuda akandomira pasuo apo paakaonekwa nomumwe musikana uyo akati kuvanhu vose vaivapo, “Murume uyu akanga ari pamwe chete naJesu weNazareta.”
And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.
72 Akarambazve, akapika achiti, “Murume uyu handimuzivi!”
And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.
73 Mushure mechinguva, vaya vakanga vamirepo vakaenda kuna Petro vakasvikoti, “Zvechokwadi uri mumwe wavo nokuda kwamatauriro ako.”
And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.
74 Ipapo akatanga kuzvituka uye akapika kwavari achiti, “Murume uyu handimuzivi!” Pakarepo jongwe rakarira.
Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
75 Ipapo Petro akarangarira shoko rakanga rataurwa naJesu rokuti: “Jongwe risati rarira uchandiramba katatu.” Ipapo akabuda kunze akandochema zvikuru.
And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
