Ruka 21
1 Zvino wakati atarira kumusoro akaona vafumi vachikanda zvipo zvavo muchivigiro chezvipo.
And Jesus looked upon the rich, who cast their oblations into the treasury.
2 Uye wakaonawo imwe chirikadzi murombo ichikandamo tumari twemhangura tuviri.
And he saw also a certain poor widow, who cast in two mites.
3 Ndokuti: Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Chirikadzi iyi murombo yakanda kupfuura vese;
And he said: Truly I say to you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than any one.
4 nokuti avo vese vakanda muzvipo zvaMwari pamuraudziro wavo, asi iye, paurombo hwake wakanda chese chaaiva nacho chaairarama nacho.
For all they, from what was superfluous to them, have cast into the receptacle of oblations to God; but she, from her penury, hath cast in all that she possessed.
5 Zvino vamwe vachiri kutaura pamusoro petembere, kuti yakange yakashongedzwa nemabwe akanaka nezvipo, wakati:
And when some spoke of the temple, as adorned with goodly stones and oblations, Jesus said to them:
6 Zvinhu izvi zvamunoona, mazuva achasvika okuti ibwe harizosiiwi pamusoro pebwe, risingazoputsirwi pasi.
As for these things, on which ye gaze, the days will come, in which there will not be left a stone upon a stone, that is not cast down.
7 Zvino vakamubvunza, vachiti: Mudzidzisi, ko zvinhu izvi zvichava rinhi? Nechiratidzo chii, kana izvozvi zvoitika?
And they questioned him, and said: Teacher, when will these things be? And what is the sign that they are near to take place?
8 Iye ndokuti: Chenjerai kuti musatsauswa; nokuti vazhinji vachauya muzita rangu, vachiti: Ndini Kristu; uye: Nguva yaswedera. Naizvozvo musavatevera.
And he said to them: See, that ye be not deceived; for many will come in my name, and will say: I am Messiah and the time is near. But 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 commotions, be not afraid; for these things are previously to take place, but the end is not yet come.
10 Ipapo wakati kwavari: Rudzi ruchamukira rudzi, neushe huchamukira ushe.
For nation will 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 great earthquakes will occur in several places, and famines, and pestilences; and there will be terrors, and trepidations, and great signs from heaven will be seen, and there will be great tempests.
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 will lay hands upon you, and will persecute you, and will deliver you up to councils and to prison, and will arraign you before kings and governors, on account of my name.
13 Uye izvi zvichashandukira kwamuri kuva uchapupu.
But it will be to you for a testimony.
14 Naizvozvo zviisei mumoyo menyu, kuti murege kufanofunganya zvamuchazvidavirira.
And settle it in your hearts, that ye will not previously seek instruction for making a defence.
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 enemies will be unable to withstand.
16 Zvino muchatengeswa kunyange nevabereki, nevanakomana vamai venyu, nehama, neshamwari, uye vachauraya vamwe venyu.
And your parents, and your brothers, and your relatives, and your friends, will deliver you up, and cause some of you to die.
17 Uye muchavengwa nevese nekuda kwezita rangu.
And ye will be hated by every one, on account of my name.
18 Asi hakungatongoparari ruvhudzi rwemusoro wenyu.
But a hair of your head shall not perish.
19 Mukutsungirira kwenyu wanai mweya yenyu.
And by your patience, will ye preserve your souls.
20 Zvino kana muchiona Jerusarema rakombwa nemauto, zivai ipapo kuti kuparadzwa kwaro kwaswedera.
And when ye shall see Jerusalem with an army encompassing it, then know ye, that its destruction draweth nigh.
21 Panguva iyo vari muJudhiya ngavatizire kumakomo; nevari mukati maro ngavabude; nevari kumaruwa ngavarege kupinda mariri.
Then let them who shall be in Judaea, flee to the mountain district; and let them, who are in the midst of it, flee away; and those in the fields, not enter it.
22 Nokuti awa mazuva etsividzo, kuti zvinhu zvese zvakanyorwa zvizadziswe.
For these are days of vengeance, to fulfill all that is written.
23 Asi vane nhamo vane mimba nevanonwisa mumazuva iwayo! Nokuti kuchavapo kutambudzika kukuru munyika, nehasha pamusoro perudzi urwu.
But woe to them that are with child, and to them that nurse children, in those days; for then will be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
24 Uye vachawa nemuromo wemunondo, nekutapirwa kumarudzi ese; uye Jerusarema richatsikirwa pasi nevechirudzi, kusvikira nguva dzevechirudzi dzazadziswa.
And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be carried captive to every place. And Jerusalem will be trodden down by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles shall be completed.
25 Zvino zviratidzo zvichavapo pazuva nepamwedzi nepanyeredzi; nepanyika kutambudzika kwemarudzi nekukanganiswa; gungwa nemafungu zvichitinhira,
And there will be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and distress of nations on the earth; and clasping of hands, from astonishment at the noise of the sea;
26 vanhu vachapera simba nekutya nekutarisira zvinhu izvo zvinouya panyika; nokuti masimba ekumatenga achazungunuswa.
and dismay that driveth out the souls of men, from fear of that which is to come on the earth; and the powers of heaven will be moved.
27 Zvino ipapo vachaona Mwanakomana wemunhu achiuya mugore ane simba nekubwinya kukuru.
And then will they see the Son of man coming in the clouds, with much power, and with great glory.
28 Zvino kana zvinhu izvi zvichitanga kuitika, itii tasa, uye musimudze misoro yenyu, nokuti rudzikunuro rwenyu rwaswedera.
And when these things shall begin to be, take courage, and lift up your heads, for your deliverance draweth nigh.
29 Zvino wakavataurira mufananidzo achiti: Tarirai muonde nemiti yese;
And he uttered a similitude to them. Look at the fig-tree, and all the trees.
30 kana ikozvino yotunga, munozvionera nekuziva kuti zhizha ikozvino rava pedo.
When they bud forth, ye at once understand from them that summer approacheth.
31 Saizvozvo imwiwo, kana moona zvinhu izvozvi zvichiitika, zivai kuti ushe hwaMwari hwava pedo.
So also, when ye shall see all these things take place, know ye that the kingdom of God is near.
32 Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Zera iri haringatongopfuuri, kusvikira zvese zvaitika.
Verily I say to you, That this generation will not pass away, until all these things occur.
33 Denga nenyika zvichapfuura, asi mashoko angu haangatongopfuuri.
Heaven and earth will pass away; but my word will not pass away.
34 Zvino zvichenjererei, kuti moyo yenyu irege kuremedzwa nekudyisa nekuraradza nekufunganya zveupenyu huno, zuva iro rikusvikirei musingafungiri.
Take heed to yourselves, that your hearts be, at no time, stupefied by gluttony and ebriety and worldly care; and so that day come upon you unawares.
35 Nokuti seriva richasvika pamusoro pevese vagere pachiso chenyika yese.
For, like a hunter's snare, it will spring upon all them that dwell upon the face of the whole land.
36 Naizvozvo rindai panguva yese munyengetere kuti muverengwe makafanira kupukunyuka zvinhu izvi zvese zvichaitika, nekumira pamberi peMwanakomana wemunhu.
Be ye therefore vigilant, at all times, and prayerful; that ye may be worthy to escape the things that are to take place, and may stand before the Son of man.
37 Zvino waidzidzisa masikati mutembere; asi waibuda achipedzera usiku mugomo rinonzi reMiorivhi.
And, in the daytime he taught in the temple, and at night he went out and lodged in the mount, called the Place of Olives.
38 Vanhu vese ndokuuya kwaari mangwanani-ngwanani mutembere kuti vamunzwe.
And all the people came early to him in the temple, to hear his discourse.
