Ruka 21
1 Zvino wakati atarira kumusoro akaona vafumi vachikanda zvipo zvavo muchivigiro chezvipo.
And he looked up, and saw the rich men that were casting their gifts into the treasury.
2 Uye wakaonawo imwe chirikadzi murombo ichikandamo tumari twemhangura tuviri.
And he saw a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.
3 Ndokuti: Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Chirikadzi iyi murombo yakanda kupfuura vese;
And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, This poor widow cast in more than they all:
4 nokuti avo vese vakanda muzvipo zvaMwari pamuraudziro wavo, asi iye, paurombo hwake wakanda chese chaaiva nacho chaairarama nacho.
for all these did of their superfluity cast in unto the gifts: but she of her want did cast in all the living that she had.
5 Zvino vamwe vachiri kutaura pamusoro petembere, kuti yakange yakashongedzwa nemabwe akanaka nezvipo, wakati:
And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and offerings, he said,
6 Zvinhu izvi zvamunoona, mazuva achasvika okuti ibwe harizosiiwi pamusoro pebwe, risingazoputsirwi pasi.
As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in which there shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
7 Zvino vakamubvunza, vachiti: Mudzidzisi, ko zvinhu izvi zvichava rinhi? Nechiratidzo chii, kana izvozvi zvoitika?
And they asked him, saying, Master, when therefore shall these things be? and what [shall be] the sign when these things are about to come to pass?
8 Iye ndokuti: Chenjerai kuti musatsauswa; nokuti vazhinji vachauya muzita rangu, vachiti: Ndini Kristu; uye: Nguva yaswedera. Naizvozvo musavatevera.
And he said, Take heed that ye be not led astray: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am [he]; and, The time is at hand: go ye not after them.
9 Zvino kana muchinzwa zvehondo nenyonga-nyonga, musavhunduswa; nokuti zvinhu izvi zvinofanira kutanga kuitika; asi kuguma hakuvipo pakarepo.
And when ye shall hear of wars and tumults, be not terrified: for these things must needs come to pass first; but the end is not immediately.
10 Ipapo wakati kwavari: Rudzi ruchamukira rudzi, neushe huchamukira ushe.
Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
11 Uye kudengenyeka kwenyika kukuru kuchava kunzvimbo dzakasiyana-siyana, nenzara nematenda, uye zvinotyisa nezviratidzo zvikuru zvichabva kudenga zvichavapo.
and there shall be great earthquakes, and in divers places famines and pestilences; and there shall be terrors and great signs from heaven.
12 Asi mberi kwaizvozvi zvese vachaisa maoko avo pamuri, nekushusha, vachikukumikidzai kumasinagoge nemumatirongo, muchiiswa pamberi pemadzimambo nevabati, nekuda kwezita rangu.
But before all these things, they shall lay their hands on you, and shall persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for my name’s sake.
13 Uye izvi zvichashandukira kwamuri kuva uchapupu.
It shall turn unto you for a testimony.
14 Naizvozvo zviisei mumoyo menyu, kuti murege kufanofunganya zvamuchazvidavirira.
Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate beforehand how to answer:
15 Nokuti ini ndichakupai muromo nenjere, vavengi venyu vese zvavachakonewa kupikisa kana kuramba.
for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to withstand or to gainsay.
16 Zvino muchatengeswa kunyange nevabereki, nevanakomana vamai venyu, nehama, neshamwari, uye vachauraya vamwe venyu.
But ye shall be delivered up even by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolk, and friends; and [some] of you shall they cause to be put to death.
17 Uye muchavengwa nevese nekuda kwezita rangu.
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake.
18 Asi hakungatongoparari ruvhudzi rwemusoro wenyu.
And not a hair of your head shall perish.
19 Mukutsungirira kwenyu wanai mweya yenyu.
In your patience ye shall win your souls.
20 Zvino kana muchiona Jerusarema rakombwa nemauto, zivai ipapo kuti kuparadzwa kwaro kwaswedera.
But when ye see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that her desolation is at hand.
21 Panguva iyo vari muJudhiya ngavatizire kumakomo; nevari mukati maro ngavabude; nevari kumaruwa ngavarege kupinda mariri.
Then let them that are in Judaea flee unto the mountains; and let them that are in the midst of her depart out; and let not them that are in the country enter therein.
22 Nokuti awa mazuva etsividzo, kuti zvinhu zvese zvakanyorwa zvizadziswe.
For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23 Asi vane nhamo vane mimba nevanonwisa mumazuva iwayo! Nokuti kuchavapo kutambudzika kukuru munyika, nehasha pamusoro perudzi urwu.
Woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days! for there shall be great distress upon the land, and wrath unto this people.
24 Uye vachawa nemuromo wemunondo, nekutapirwa kumarudzi ese; uye Jerusarema richatsikirwa pasi nevechirudzi, kusvikira nguva dzevechirudzi dzazadziswa.
And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led captive into all the nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
25 Zvino zviratidzo zvichavapo pazuva nepamwedzi nepanyeredzi; nepanyika kutambudzika kwemarudzi nekukanganiswa; gungwa nemafungu zvichitinhira,
And there shall be signs in sun and moon and stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the billows;
26 vanhu vachapera simba nekutya nekutarisira zvinhu izvo zvinouya panyika; nokuti masimba ekumatenga achazungunuswa.
men fainting for fear, and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world: for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.
27 Zvino ipapo vachaona Mwanakomana wemunhu achiuya mugore ane simba nekubwinya kukuru.
And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 Zvino kana zvinhu izvi zvichitanga kuitika, itii tasa, uye musimudze misoro yenyu, nokuti rudzikunuro rwenyu rwaswedera.
But when these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads; because your redemption draweth nigh.
29 Zvino wakavataurira mufananidzo achiti: Tarirai muonde nemiti yese;
And he spake to them a parable: Behold the fig tree, and all the trees:
30 kana ikozvino yotunga, munozvionera nekuziva kuti zhizha ikozvino rava pedo.
when they now shoot forth, ye see it and know of your own selves that the summer is now nigh.
31 Saizvozvo imwiwo, kana moona zvinhu izvozvi zvichiitika, zivai kuti ushe hwaMwari hwava pedo.
Even so ye also, when ye see these things coming to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh.
32 Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Zera iri haringatongopfuuri, kusvikira zvese zvaitika.
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all things be accomplished.
33 Denga nenyika zvichapfuura, asi mashoko angu haangatongopfuuri.
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
34 Zvino zvichenjererei, kuti moyo yenyu irege kuremedzwa nekudyisa nekuraradza nekufunganya zveupenyu huno, zuva iro rikusvikirei musingafungiri.
But take heed to yourselves, lest haply your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day come on you suddenly as a snare:
35 Nokuti seriva richasvika pamusoro pevese vagere pachiso chenyika yese.
for [so] shall it come upon all them that dwell on the face of all the earth.
36 Naizvozvo rindai panguva yese munyengetere kuti muverengwe makafanira kupukunyuka zvinhu izvi zvese zvichaitika, nekumira pamberi peMwanakomana wemunhu.
But watch ye at every season, making supplication, that ye may prevail to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
37 Zvino waidzidzisa masikati mutembere; asi waibuda achipedzera usiku mugomo rinonzi reMiorivhi.
And every day he was teaching in the temple; and every night he went out, and lodged in the mount that is called [the mount] of Olives.
38 Vanhu vese ndokuuya kwaari mangwanani-ngwanani mutembere kuti vamunzwe.
And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, to hear him.
