Luke 12
1 IN the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
Zvichakadaro makumi ezvuru zvechaunga akati aungana, zvekuti vaitsikana, akatanga kutaura kuvadzidzi vake pakutanga achiti: Imwi chenjerai mbiriso yeVaFarisi, inova unyepedzeri.
2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
Uye hakuna chinhu chakafukidzwa, chisingazopenengurwi, nechakavigwa, chisingazozikanwi.
3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
Naizvozvo zvese zvamakataura murima zvichanzwikwa muchiedza; neizvo zvamakataura munzeve mudzimba dzemukati zvichaparidzwa pamusoro pematenga edzimba.
4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
Uye ndinoti kwamuri shamwari dzangu: Musatya vanouraya muviri, asi shure kweizvozvo vasingazogoni kuita chimwe chinhu.
5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. (Geenna g1067)
Asi ndichakuratidzai wamunofanira kutya: Ityai iye anoti shure kwekuuraya ane simba rekukanda mugehena; hongu, ndinoti kwamuri: Ityai iye. (Geenna g1067)
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
Ko tushiri tushanu hatutengeswi nemakobiri maviri here? Hakuna kamwe kadzo kanokanganikwa pamberi paMwari.
7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
Asi kunyange nevhudzi remusoro wenyu rakaverengwa rese. Musatya naizvozvo, munopfuura tushiri tuzhinji.
8 Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
Ndinotiwo kwamuri: Umwe neumwe anondibvuma pamberi pevanhu, Mwanakomana wemunhu achamubvumawo pamberi pevatumwa vaMwari;
9 But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
asi anondiramba pamberi pevanhu, acharambwa pamberi pevatumwa vaMwari.
10 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
Uye umwe neumwe anoreva shoko achipikisa Mwanakomana wemunhu, achakanganwirwa; asi uyo anonyomba Mweya Mutsvene haazokanganwirwi.
11 And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
Kana vachikuisai kumasinagoge nevatongi nevane simba, musafunganya kuti muchapindura sei kana chii, kana muchataurei;
12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
nokuti Mweya Mutsvene achakudzidzisai neawa iro zvamunofanira kutaura.
13 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
Zvino umwe wechaunga wakati kwaari: Mudzidzisi, udzai mwanakomana wamai vangu agovane nhaka neni.
14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
Asi wakati kwaari: Iwe munhu, ndiani wakandigadza kuva mutongi kana mugoveri pamusoro penyu?
15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
Akati kwavari: Ngwarirai muchenjerere ruchiva, nokuti upenyu hwemunhu hahusi mukuwanda kwezvinhu zvaanazvo.
16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
Akataura mufananidzo kwavari, achiti: Munda weumwe munhu mufumi wakabereka kwazvo;
17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
akafunga mukati make, achiti: Ndichaitei? Nokuti handina nzvimbo pandingaunganidzira zvibereko zvangu.
18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
Ndokuti: Ndichaita izvi: Ndichaputsa matura angu, ndivake makuru, ndiunganidzire zvirimwa zvangu zvese ipapo, nenhumbi dzangu,
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
ndigoti kumweya wangu: Mweya, une zvinhu zvakawanda zvakanaka, zvakachengeterwa makore mazhinji; zorora, idya, inwa, fara.
20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
Asi Mwari akati kwaari: Dununu, usiku huno mweya wako uchadikanwa kubva kwauri; ko izvo zvawagadzirira, zvichava zvaani?
21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
Zvakadaro kune anozviunganidzira fuma, asi asina kufuma kuna Mwari.
22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.
Zvino wakati kuvadzidzi vake: Naizvozvo ndinoti kwamuri: Musafunganya pamusoro peupenyu hwenyu, kuti muchadyei; kana muviri, kuti muchapfekei.
23 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
Upenyu hunopfuura kudya, nemuviri zvipfeko.
24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?
Fungai makunguvo, kuti haadzvari, kana kukohwa, haana tsapi kana dura; asi Mwari anoafunda. Imwi munokunda zvikuru sei shiri?
25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
Ndiani kwamuri nekufunganya angagona kuwedzera mbimbi imwe paurefu hwake?
26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?
Naizvozvo kana musingagoni kuita chinhu chidikisa, munofunganyirei pamusoro pezvimwe?
27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Fungai midovatova, kuti inokura sei; haishingairi, hairuki; asi ndinoti kwamuri: NaSoromoni mukubwinya kwake kwese, haana kupfekedzwa seumwe wayo.
28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
Zvino kana Mwari achipfekedza saizvozvo uswa huri panyika nhasi, mangwana hwokandirwa muchoto, uchakupfekedzai nekupfuurisa sei, imwi verutendo rudiki?
29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
Zvino imwi musatsvaka zvamuchadya kana zvamuchamwa; uye musazvidya moyo.
30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
Nokuti zvinhu izvi zvese marudzi enyika anozvitsvaka; asi Baba venyu vanoziva kuti munoshaiwa izvozvi.
31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Asi tsvakai ushe hwaMwari, naizvozvi zvese zvichawedzerwa kwamuri.
32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
Musatya boka diki; nokuti Baba venyu vanofara kukupai ushe.
33 Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
Tengesai izvo zvamunazvo mupe varombo zvipo. Muzviitire zvikwama zvisingashakari, fuma kumatenga isingaperi, pasina mbavha ingasvika kana zvifusi zvingaodza.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Nokuti pane fuma yenyu, ndipo pachavawo nemoyo wenyu.
35 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
Zviuno zvenyu ngazvigare zvakasungwa, nemwenje ichipfuta.
36 And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
Nemwi muve sevanhu vakarindira ishe wavo, pakudzoka kwake kumuchato, kuti kana achisvika akagogodza, vangamuzarurira pakarepo.
37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
Vakaropafadzwa varanda avo, vanoti kana ishe achisvika anovawana vakarindira; zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Achazvisunga, akavagarisa pakudya, akaswedera akavashandira.
38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
Kana akasvika nenguva yekurindira yechipiri, kana kusvika nenguva yekurindira yechitatu, akawana vakadaro, vakaropafadzwa varanda ivavo.
39 And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
Asi muzive izvi, kuti dai mwene weimba aiziva nderipi awa mbavha rainouya, angadai akarinda, akasatendera imba yake kuti ipazwe.
40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
Naizvozvo imwiwo ivai makazvigadzirira; nokuti neawa ramusingafungiri Mwanakomana wemunhu anouya.
41 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?
Petro ndokuti kwaari: Ishe, munoutaura mufananidzo uyu kwatiri, kana kune vesewo?
42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?
Ishe ndokuti: Ko ndiani zvino mutariri wakatendeka uye wakachenjera, ishe waachagadza pamusoro pevaranda vake, kuti ape mugove wekudya nenguva yakafanira?
43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
Wakaropafadzwa muranda uyo, unoti kana ishe wake achisvika, amuwane achiita saizvozvo.
44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.
Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Achamugadza pamusoro pezvese zvaanazvo.
45 But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
Asi kana muranda uyo akati mumoyo make: Ishe wangu wanonoka kuuya; akatanga kurova varandarume nevarandakadzi, nekudya, nekunwa, nekuraradza;
46 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
ishe wemuranda uyo achasvika pazuva raasingatarisiri, uye paawa raasingazivi, akamugura nepakati, akagura mugove wake pamwe nevasakatendeka.
47 And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
Muranda uyo waiziva chido chaishe wake, akasagadzirira, kana kuita zvinoenderana nechido chake, acharohwa neshamhu zhinji.
48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
Asi wakange asingazivi, akaita zvakafanira kurohwa, acharohwa neshamhu shoma. Uye wese wakapiwa zvizhinji, zvizhinji zvichatsvakwa kwaari; neanobatiswa zvizhinji, vachareva zvinopfuurisa kwaari.
49 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
Ndakauya kuzokanda moto panyika, zvino ndichadei kana watobatidzwa?
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
Asi ndine rubhabhatidzo rwandichabhabhatidzwa narwo, zvino ndinomanikidzwa sei kusvikira rwuchipedziswa.
51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
Munofunga kuti ndakauya kuzopa rugare panyika here? Kwete, ndinoti kwamuri, asi kutozopesanisa.
52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
Nokuti kubva zvino vashanu muimba imwe vachapesana, vatatu vachipikisana nevaviri, uye vaviri vachipikisana nevatatu,
53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her 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 And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.
Akatiwo kuzvaunga: Kana muchiona gore richisimuka kubva kumavirira, pakarepo munoti: Mvura inouya; zvodaro.
55 And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.
Uye kana muchiona mhepo yechamhembe ichivhuvhuta munoti: Kuchapisa; zvoitika.
56 Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?
Vanyepedzeri! Munoziva kuongorora zvimiro zvekudenga nezvenyika, asi hamuongorori sei nguva ino?
57 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
Ko asi munoregerei nemwi kuzvitongera momene zvakarurama?
58 When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee 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 thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.
Ndinoti kwauri: Haungatongobudimo, kusvikira waripa kunyange kamari kekupedzisira.
