Mako 11
1 Vakati vasvika pedo neJerusarema, paBhetifage neBhetaniya, pagomo reMiorivhi, akatuma vaviri vevadzidzi vake,
As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent out two of His disciples
2 akati kwavari: Fambai muende kumusha wakatarisana nemwi; pakarepo kana muchipinda mauri, muchawana dhongwana rakasungirwa, risina munhu wakamborigara; murisunugure, mugouya naro.
and said to them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and as soon as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.
3 Kana munhu akati kwamuri: Munoitirei izvi? Muti: Ishe anorida. Pakarepo acharitumira pano.
If anyone asks, ‘Why are you doing this?’ tell him, ‘The Lord needs it and will return it shortly.’”
4 Vakaenda, vakanowana dhongwana rakasungirwa pamukova kunze, panzira yemumusha; vakarisunungura.
So they went and found the colt outside in the street, tied at a doorway. They untied it,
5 Vamwe vevakange vamirepo vakati kwavari: Munoitei muchisunungura dhongwana?
and some who were standing there asked, “Why are you untying the colt?”
6 Vakavaudza Jesu sezvaakaraira; vakavarega vachienda.
The disciples answered as Jesus had instructed them, and the people gave them permission.
7 Zvino vakauya nedhongwana kuna Jesu, vakakandira nguvo dzavo pamusoro paro, akagara pamusoro paro.
Then they led the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, and He sat on it.
8 Nevazhinji vakawarira nguvo dzavo munzira, nevamwe vakatema masanzu kubva pamiti vakawarira munzira.
Many in the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they had cut from the fields.
9 Zvino avo vakange vachitungamira nevakange vachitevera vakadanidzira, vachiti: Hosana! Wakaropafadzwa anouya muzita raIshe;
The ones who went ahead and those who followed were shouting: “Hosanna!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!”
10 hwakaropafadzwa ushe hwababa vedu Dhavhidhi, hunouya muzita raIshe! Hosana kumusoro-soro!
“Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!” “Hosanna in the highest!”
11 Jesu ndokupinda muJerusarema, nemutembere; akati aringa-ringa zvinhu zvese, yava nguva yemadekwani, akabuda, akaenda kuBhetaniya nevanegumi nevaviri.
Then Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple courts. He looked around at everything, but since it was already late, He went out to Bethany with the Twelve.
12 Uye mangwana vachibuda kubva Bhetaniya, akanzwa nzara.
The next day, when they had left Bethany, Jesus was hungry.
13 Wakati achiona muonde uri kure, une mashizha, akaendako achiti zvimwe angawana chinhu pauri; asi asvika pauri haana kuwana chinhu kunze kwemashizha; nokuti yakange isiri nguva yemaonde.
Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, He went to see if there was any fruit on it. But when He reached it, He found nothing on it except leaves, since it was not the season for figs.
14 Zvino Jesu akapindura, akati kwauri: Kusava nemunhu anozodyazve zvibereko pauri kusvika kusingaperi. Vadzidzi vake vakazvinzwa. (aiōn g165)
Then He said to the tree, “May no one ever eat of your fruit again.” And His disciples heard this statement. (aiōn g165)
15 Vakasvika kuJerusarema; Jesu akapinda mutembere, akatanga kudzingira panze avo vaitengesa nevaitenga mutembere; akapidigura matafura evaitsinhanisa mari, nezvigaro zvaivo vaitengesa njiva.
When they arrived in Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began to drive out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those selling doves.
16 Zvino akasatendera kuti munhu atakure nhumbi achipfuura nemutembere.
And He would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts.
17 Akadzidzisa, achiti kwavari: Hakuna kunyorwa here kuchinzi: Imba yangu ichanzi imba yekunyengetera nemarudzi ese? Asi imwi makaiita bako remakororo.
Then Jesus began to teach them, and He declared, “Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’”
18 Zvino vanyori nevapristi vakuru vakazvinzwa, vakatsvaka kuti vangamuparadza sei; nokuti vakange vachimutya, nokuti chaunga chese chakashamisika nedzidziso yake.
When the chief priests and scribes heard this, they looked for a way to kill Him. For they were afraid of Him, because the whole crowd was astonished at His teaching.
19 Zvino ava madekwani, wakabuda kunze kweguta.
And when evening came, Jesus and His disciples went out of the city.
20 Zvino mangwanani-ngwanani vakati vachipfuura, vakaona muonde waoma kubva pamidzi.
As they were walking back in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered from its roots.
21 Petro akarangarira akati kwaari: Rabhi, tarirai muonde wamakatuka waoma.
Peter remembered it and said, “Look, Rabbi! The fig tree You cursed has withered.”
22 Jesu akapindura akati kwavari: Ivai nerutendo kuna Mwari.
“Have faith in God,” Jesus said to them.
23 Nokuti zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Ani nani anoti kugomo iri: Simudzwa, ukandwe mugungwa, uye asiri asina chokwadi mumoyo make, asi achitenda kuti zvinhu zvaanoreva zvichaitika, zvichaitika kwaari chero zvaanoreva.
“Truly I tell you that if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and has no doubt in his heart but believes that it will happen, it will be done for him.
24 Naizvozvo ndinoti kwamuri: Zvinhu zvese chero zvamunokumbira muchinyengetera, tendai kuti muchagamuchira, uye zvichava zvenyu.
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
25 Kana mumire muchinyengetera, kanganwirai kana mune chakanangana neumwe; kuti Baba venyuwo vari kumatenga vakukanganwirei kudarika kwenyu.
And when you stand to pray, if you hold anything against another, forgive it, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your trespasses as well.”
26 Asi kana imwi musingakanganwiri, Baba venyu vari kumatenga havakanganwiriwo kudarika kwenyu.
27 Vakasvikazve kuJerusarema; zvino wakati achifamba mutembere, vapristi vakuru nevanyori nevakuru vakauya kwaari,
After their return to Jerusalem, Jesus was walking in the temple courts, and the chief priests, scribes, and elders came up to Him.
28 zvino vakati kwaari: Unoita zvinhu izvozvi nesimba ripi; ndiani wakakupa simba iri, kuti unoita zvinhu izvi?
“By what authority are You doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave You the authority to do them?”
29 Jesu akapindura akati kwavari: Iniwo ndichakubvunzai mubvunzo umwe, mundipindure, neni ndichakuudzai kuti ndinoita zvinhu izvozvi nesimba ripi.
“I will ask you one question,” Jesus replied, “and if you answer Me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
30 Rubhabhatidzo rwaJohwani rwakabva kudenga, kana kuvanhu? Ndipindurei.
John’s baptism—was it from heaven or from men? Answer Me!”
31 Vakaonesana, vachiti: Kana tikati: Kudenga, achati: Makagoregerei kumutenda?
They deliberated among themselves what they should answer: “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’
32 Asi kana tikati: Kuvanhu; vakange vachitya vanhu; nokuti vese vakange vachiverenga Johwani kuti muporofita zvirokwazvo.
But if we say, ‘From men’...” they were afraid of the people, for they all held that John truly was a prophet.
33 Vakapindura vachiti kuna Jesu: Hatizivi. Jesu akapindura akati kwavari: Ini handingakuudziyiwo kuti ndinoita zvinhu izvi nesimba ripi.
So they answered, “We do not know.” And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
