Luke 12
1 In the meantime so many thousands of people had gathered that they were stepping on each another. Jesus began speaking first to his disciples. “Beware the yeast of the Pharisees—hypocrisy.
Zvichakadaro makumi ezvuru zvechaunga akati aungana, zvekuti vaitsikana, akatanga kutaura kuvadzidzi vake pakutanga achiti: Imwi chenjerai mbiriso yeVaFarisi, inova unyepedzeri.
2 For there's nothing hidden that won't be revealed, nothing secret that won't be made known.
Uye hakuna chinhu chakafukidzwa, chisingazopenengurwi, nechakavigwa, chisingazozikanwi.
3 Whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and whatever you whispered in private will be announced from the rooftops.
Naizvozvo zvese zvamakataura murima zvichanzwikwa muchiedza; neizvo zvamakataura munzeve mudzimba dzemukati zvichaparidzwa pamusoro pematenga edzimba.
4 I tell you, my friends, don't be afraid of those who kill the body, for once they've done that there's no more they can do.
Uye ndinoti kwamuri shamwari dzangu: Musatya vanouraya muviri, asi shure kweizvozvo vasingazogoni kuita chimwe chinhu.
5 Let me make it clear whom you should be afraid of. You should be afraid of the one who after he has killed has the power to dispose of them in Gehenna. That's the one you should be afraid of. (Geenna g1067)
Asi ndichakuratidzai wamunofanira kutya: Ityai iye anoti shure kwekuuraya ane simba rekukanda mugehena; hongu, ndinoti kwamuri: Ityai iye. (Geenna g1067)
6 Aren't five sparrows sold for two pennies? But God doesn't forget a single one of them.
Ko tushiri tushanu hatutengeswi nemakobiri maviri here? Hakuna kamwe kadzo kanokanganikwa pamberi paMwari.
7 Even the hairs on your head have been counted. Don't be afraid—you're worth more than many sparrows!
Asi kunyange nevhudzi remusoro wenyu rakaverengwa rese. Musatya naizvozvo, munopfuura tushiri tuzhinji.
8 I tell you the truth, those who declare they belong to me, the Son of man will also declare they belong to him before God's angels,
Ndinotiwo kwamuri: Umwe neumwe anondibvuma pamberi pevanhu, Mwanakomana wemunhu achamubvumawo pamberi pevatumwa vaMwari;
9 but those who deny me will be denied before God's angels.
asi anondiramba pamberi pevanhu, acharambwa pamberi pevatumwa vaMwari.
10 Everyone who speaks against the Son of man will be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
Uye umwe neumwe anoreva shoko achipikisa Mwanakomana wemunhu, achakanganwirwa; asi uyo anonyomba Mweya Mutsvene haazokanganwirwi.
11 When you're brought to trial before synagogues, rulers, and authorities, don't worry about how to defend yourself, or what you should say.
Kana vachikuisai kumasinagoge nevatongi nevane simba, musafunganya kuti muchapindura sei kana chii, kana muchataurei;
12 The Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what's important to say.”
nokuti Mweya Mutsvene achakudzidzisai neawa iro zvamunofanira kutaura.
13 Someone in the crowd asked Jesus, “Teacher, please tell my brother to share the inheritance with me.”
Zvino umwe wechaunga wakati kwaari: Mudzidzisi, udzai mwanakomana wamai vangu agovane nhaka neni.
14 “My friend,” Jesus replied, “Who appointed me as your judge to decide how your inheritance should be divided?” He told the people,
Asi wakati kwaari: Iwe munhu, ndiani wakandigadza kuva mutongi kana mugoveri pamusoro penyu?
15 “Watch out, and beware of all greedy thoughts and actions, for a person's life isn't summed up by all the things they own.”
Akati kwavari: Ngwarirai muchenjerere ruchiva, nokuti upenyu hwemunhu hahusi mukuwanda kwezvinhu zvaanazvo.
16 Then he told them a story as an illustration. “Once there was a rich man who owned land that was very productive.
Akataura mufananidzo kwavari, achiti: Munda weumwe munhu mufumi wakabereka kwazvo;
17 The man said to himself, ‘What shall I do? I've nowhere to store my crops.
akafunga mukati make, achiti: Ndichaitei? Nokuti handina nzvimbo pandingaunganidzira zvibereko zvangu.
18 I know what I'll do,’ he decided. ‘I'll pull down my barns and build bigger ones, and then I'll be able to store all my crops and everything I own.
Ndokuti: Ndichaita izvi: Ndichaputsa matura angu, ndivake makuru, ndiunganidzire zvirimwa zvangu zvese ipapo, nenhumbi dzangu,
19 Then I'll tell myself: You have enough to live on for many years, so take life easy: eat, drink, and enjoy yourself!’
ndigoti kumweya wangu: Mweya, une zvinhu zvakawanda zvakanaka, zvakachengeterwa makore mazhinji; zorora, idya, inwa, fara.
20 But God said to him, ‘You foolish man! Your life will be demanded back this very night, and then who will get everything you've stored up?’
Asi Mwari akati kwaari: Dununu, usiku huno mweya wako uchadikanwa kubva kwauri; ko izvo zvawagadzirira, zvichava zvaani?
21 This is what happens to people who hoard up wealth for themselves but are not rich as far as God is concerned.”
Zvakadaro kune anozviunganidzira fuma, asi asina kufuma kuna Mwari.
22 Jesus told his disciples, “That's why I tell you don't worry about life, about what to eat, or about what clothes you should wear.
Zvino wakati kuvadzidzi vake: Naizvozvo ndinoti kwamuri: Musafunganya pamusoro peupenyu hwenyu, kuti muchadyei; kana muviri, kuti muchapfekei.
23 Life is about more than food, and the body is about more than wearing clothes.
Upenyu hunopfuura kudya, nemuviri zvipfeko.
24 Look at the ravens. They don't sow or reap, they don't have any storerooms or barns, but God feeds them. And you're far more valuable than birds!
Fungai makunguvo, kuti haadzvari, kana kukohwa, haana tsapi kana dura; asi Mwari anoafunda. Imwi munokunda zvikuru sei shiri?
25 Can you add an hour to your life by worrying about it?
Ndiani kwamuri nekufunganya angagona kuwedzera mbimbi imwe paurefu hwake?
26 If you can't do anything about such small things, why worry about the rest?
Naizvozvo kana musingagoni kuita chinhu chidikisa, munofunganyirei pamusoro pezvimwe?
27 Think of the lilies and how they grow. They don't work, and they don't spin thread for clothes, but I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was as beautifully dressed as one of them.
Fungai midovatova, kuti inokura sei; haishingairi, hairuki; asi ndinoti kwamuri: NaSoromoni mukubwinya kwake kwese, haana kupfekedzwa seumwe wayo.
28 So if God clothes the fields with such beautiful flowers, which are here today but gone tomorrow when they are burned in a fire to heat an oven, how much more will God clothe you, you who have so little trust!
Zvino kana Mwari achipfekedza saizvozvo uswa huri panyika nhasi, mangwana hwokandirwa muchoto, uchakupfekedzai nekupfuurisa sei, imwi verutendo rudiki?
29 Don't be concerned about what you're going to eat or drink—don't worry about it.
Zvino imwi musatsvaka zvamuchadya kana zvamuchamwa; uye musazvidya moyo.
30 These are all things that people in the world worry about, but your Father knows you need them.
Nokuti zvinhu izvi zvese marudzi enyika anozvitsvaka; asi Baba venyu vanoziva kuti munoshaiwa izvozvi.
31 Search for God's kingdom, and you'll be given these things as well.
Asi tsvakai ushe hwaMwari, naizvozvi zvese zvichawedzerwa kwamuri.
32 Don't be afraid, little flock, for your Father is happy to give you the kingdom.
Musatya boka diki; nokuti Baba venyu vanofara kukupai ushe.
33 Sell what you have, and give the money to the poor. Get yourselves purses that don't wear out: treasure in heaven that will never run out, where no thief can steal it and no moth can destroy it.
Tengesai izvo zvamunazvo mupe varombo zvipo. Muzviitire zvikwama zvisingashakari, fuma kumatenga isingaperi, pasina mbavha ingasvika kana zvifusi zvingaodza.
34 For what you value the most shows who you really are.
Nokuti pane fuma yenyu, ndipo pachavawo nemoyo wenyu.
35 Be dressed and ready, and keep your lamps lit,
Zviuno zvenyu ngazvigare zvakasungwa, nemwenje ichipfuta.
36 like servants waiting for their master when he returns from his wedding feast, prepared to open the door quickly for him when he comes and knocks.
Nemwi muve sevanhu vakarindira ishe wavo, pakudzoka kwake kumuchato, kuti kana achisvika akagogodza, vangamuzarurira pakarepo.
37 How good it will be for those servants that the master finds watching when he returns. I tell you the truth, he will get dressed, have them sit down for a meal, and will come and serve them himself!
Vakaropafadzwa varanda avo, vanoti kana ishe achisvika anovawana vakarindira; zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Achazvisunga, akavagarisa pakudya, akaswedera akavashandira.
38 Even if he comes at midnight, or just before dawn—how good for them if he finds them watching and ready!
Kana akasvika nenguva yekurindira yechipiri, kana kusvika nenguva yekurindira yechitatu, akawana vakadaro, vakaropafadzwa varanda ivavo.
39 But remember this: if the master knew when a thief was coming, he would keep watch, and not allow his house be broken into.
Asi muzive izvi, kuti dai mwene weimba aiziva nderipi awa mbavha rainouya, angadai akarinda, akasatendera imba yake kuti ipazwe.
40 You must also be ready, for the Son of man is coming when you don't expect him.”
Naizvozvo imwiwo ivai makazvigadzirira; nokuti neawa ramusingafungiri Mwanakomana wemunhu anouya.
41 “Is this story you're telling just for us, or for everyone?” Peter asked.
Petro ndokuti kwaari: Ishe, munoutaura mufananidzo uyu kwatiri, kana kune vesewo?
42 The Lord replied, “Who then is the trustworthy and wise manager, the one person in the household that the master puts in charge to share out their food at the right time?
Ishe ndokuti: Ko ndiani zvino mutariri wakatendeka uye wakachenjera, ishe waachagadza pamusoro pevaranda vake, kuti ape mugove wekudya nenguva yakafanira?
43 It will be good for that servant when his master returns and finds him doing what he should.
Wakaropafadzwa muranda uyo, unoti kana ishe wake achisvika, amuwane achiita saizvozvo.
44 I tell you the truth, the master will put that servant in charge of everything.
Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Achamugadza pamusoro pezvese zvaanazvo.
45 But what if the servant were to say to himself, ‘My master is taking a long time in coming,’ and then starts beating the other servants, both men and women, feasting and getting drunk?
Asi kana muranda uyo akati mumoyo make: Ishe wangu wanonoka kuuya; akatanga kurova varandarume nevarandakadzi, nekudya, nekunwa, nekuraradza;
46 That servant's master will return unexpectedly one day at a time he wasn't aware of, and will punish him severely, treating him as totally untrustworthy.
ishe wemuranda uyo achasvika pazuva raasingatarisiri, uye paawa raasingazivi, akamugura nepakati, akagura mugove wake pamwe nevasakatendeka.
47 That servant who knew what his master wanted and yet didn't get ready or follow his instructions, will be beaten severely;
Muranda uyo waiziva chido chaishe wake, akasagadzirira, kana kuita zvinoenderana nechido chake, acharohwa neshamhu zhinji.
48 but the servant who didn't know and did things deserving punishment will be beaten only lightly. From those who are given much, much will be required, and from those who are entrusted with more, more will be demanded.
Asi wakange asingazivi, akaita zvakafanira kurohwa, acharohwa neshamhu shoma. Uye wese wakapiwa zvizhinji, zvizhinji zvichatsvakwa kwaari; neanobatiswa zvizhinji, vachareva zvinopfuurisa kwaari.
49 I have come to set the earth on fire, and I really wish it was already burning!
Ndakauya kuzokanda moto panyika, zvino ndichadei kana watobatidzwa?
50 But I have a baptism to go through, and I'm in agony, wishing it was over!
Asi ndine rubhabhatidzo rwandichabhabhatidzwa narwo, zvino ndinomanikidzwa sei kusvikira rwuchipedziswa.
51 Do you think that I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, I bring division.
Munofunga kuti ndakauya kuzopa rugare panyika here? Kwete, ndinoti kwamuri, asi kutozopesanisa.
52 From now on, if there are five in a family, they will be divided against each other: three against two, and two against three.
Nokuti kubva zvino vashanu muimba imwe vachapesana, vatatu vachipikisana nevaviri, uye vaviri vachipikisana nevatatu,
53 They will be divided against each other—father against son, son against father, mother against daughter, daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
vachapesana, baba vachipikisana nemwanakomana, nemwanakomana achipikisana nababa; mai vachipikisana nemukunda, nemukunda achipikisana namai; vamwene vachipikisana nemuroora wavo, nemuroora achipikisana navamwene vake.
54 Then Jesus spoke to the crowds. “When you see a cloud rising in the west, you immediately say, ‘a rain-shower's coming,’ and it happens.
Akatiwo kuzvaunga: Kana muchiona gore richisimuka kubva kumavirira, pakarepo munoti: Mvura inouya; zvodaro.
55 When a south wind blows, you say ‘it's going to be hot,’ and it is.
Uye kana muchiona mhepo yechamhembe ichivhuvhuta munoti: Kuchapisa; zvoitika.
56 You hypocrites, how is it that you know how to rightly interpret the weather but you don't know how to interpret the present time?
Vanyepedzeri! Munoziva kuongorora zvimiro zvekudenga nezvenyika, asi hamuongorori sei nguva ino?
57 Why don't you think for yourselves and judge what's the right thing to do?
Ko asi munoregerei nemwi kuzvitongera momene zvakarurama?
58 As you go with your accuser to the magistrate, on the way you should be working on a settlement. Otherwise you may be dragged before the judge, and the judge hand you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.
Nokuti kana uchienda kumutungamiriri nemudzivisi wako, ita zvakanaka kuti usunungurwe kubva kwaari muri munzira; kuti arege kukukwevera kumutongi, mutongi akukumikidze kumupurisa, mupurisa akukande mutirongo.
59 I tell you, you won't get out until you've paid the last penny.”
Ndinoti kwauri: Haungatongobudimo, kusvikira waripa kunyange kamari kekupedzisira.
