Matthew 17
1 After six days, Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain by themselves.
Mushure memazuva matanhatu Jesu akatora Petro naJakobho naJohani mununʼuna waJakobho akakwira navo mugomo refu vari voga.
2 He was changed before them. His face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light.
Ipapo akashanduka pamberi pavo. Chiso chake chakapenya sezuva uye nguo dzake dzikachena sechiedza.
3 Behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them talking with him.
Pakarepo Mozisi naEria vakangoerekana voonekwa vamire vachitaura naJesu.
4 Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, let’s make three tents here: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
Petro akati kuna Jesu, “Ishe zvakatinakira kuva pano. Kana muchida ndingavaka matumba matatu, rimwe renyu, rimwe raMozisi nerimwe raEria.”
5 While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them. Behold, a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him.”
Achiri kutaura kudaro, gore raipenya rakabva ravakwidibira, uye inzwi rikabuda mugore richiti, “Uyu ndiye Mwanakomana wangu wandinodisa, anondifadza. Munzwei!”
6 When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were very afraid.
Vadzidzi vakati vanzwa izvi, vakawira pasi nezviso zvavo vachitya kwazvo.
7 Jesus came and touched them and said, “Get up, and don’t be afraid.”
Asi Jesu akauya akavabata. Akati, “Mukai. Musatya.”
8 Lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus alone.
Pavakasimudza misoro vachitarisa vakazongoona Jesu ava oga.
9 As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, “Don’t tell anyone what you saw, until the Son of Man has risen from the dead.”
Pavakanga vava kuburuka kubva mugomo, Jesu akavarayira achiti, “Musamboudza ani zvake zvamaona izvi kusvikira Mwanakomana woMunhu amutswa kubva kuvakafa.”
10 His disciples asked him, saying, “Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
Vadzidzi vakamubvunza vakati, “Ko, sei vadzidzisi vemirayiro vachiti Eria anofanira kutanga kuuya?”
11 Jesus answered them, “Elijah indeed comes first, and will restore all things;
Jesu akapindura akati, “Ichokwadi kuti Eria achauya agovandudza zvinhu zvose.
12 but I tell you that Elijah has come already, and they didn’t recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted to. Even so the Son of Man will also suffer by them.”
Asi ndinokuudzai kuti Eria akatouya kare asi havana kumuziva, uye vakaita kwaari zvavaida. Saizvozvo Mwanakomana woMunhu achatambudzwa pamaoko avo.”
13 Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptizer.
Ipapo vadzidzi vakanzwisisa kuti aitaura kwavari nezvaJohani Mubhabhatidzi.
14 When they came to the multitude, a man came to him, kneeling down to him and saying,
Vakati vasvika kuvanhu vazhinji, mumwe murume akauya akasvikopfugama pamberi paJesu akati,
15 “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is epileptic and suffers grievously; for he often falls into the fire, and often into the water.
“Ishe, donzwiraiwo mwanakomana wangu tsitsi. Ane zvipusha uye ari kutambudzika kwazvo. Kazhinji zvinomuwisira mumoto kana mumvura.
16 So I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him.”
Ndauya naye kuvadzidzi venyu asi havana kugona kumuporesa.”
17 Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation! How long will I be with you? How long will I bear with you? Bring him here to me.”
Jesu akapindura akati, “Haiwa, imi rudzi rusingatendi uye rwakatsauka, ndichagara nemi kusvikira rinhiko? Uyai nomukomana uyu kwandiri.”
18 Jesus rebuked the demon, and it went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.
Jesu akatuka dhimoni rikabva rabuda mumukomana uya achibva apora kubva panguva iyoyo.
19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, “Why weren’t we able to cast it out?”
Ipapo vadzidzi vakauya kuna Jesu vari voga vakamubvunza vachiti, “Ko, takundikana sei kuridzinga?”
20 He said to them, “Because of your unbelief. For most certainly I tell you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.
Akavapindura achiti, “Nokuda kwokuti mune kutenda kudiki. Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti dai maiva nokutenda kudiki hako semhodzi yemasitadhi maigona kuti kugomo iri, ‘Ibva apa uende uko,’ zvichiitika. Hapana chamunozokundikana kuita.
21 But this kind doesn’t go out except by prayer and fasting.”
Asi rudzi urwu rwomweya runongobviswa chete nokunyengetera nokutsanya.”
22 While they were staying in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men,
Vakati vaungana muGarirea Jesu akati kwavari, “Mwanakomana woMunhu achaiswa mumaoko avanhu.
23 and they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised up.” They were exceedingly sorry.
Vachamuuraya asi pazuva retatu achamutswa.” Uye vadzidzi vakasuwa kwazvo.
24 When they had come to Capernaum, those who collected the didrachma coins came to Peter, and said, “Doesn’t your teacher pay the didrachma?”
Jesu navadzidzi vake vakati vasvika muKapenaume, vateresi vomutemberi vakauya kuna Petro vakabvunza vachiti, “Ko, mudzidzisi wenyu haaripi mutero womutemberi here?”
25 He said, “Yes.” When he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth receive toll or tribute? From their children, or from strangers?”
Akapindura akati, “Hongu, anoripa.” Petro paakapinda mumba, Jesu ndiye akatanga kutaura achiti, “Unofungei, Simoni? Madzimambo enyika anotora mutero kuvana vavo here kana kuti kuna vamwe?”
26 Peter said to him, “From strangers.” Jesus said to him, “Therefore the children are exempt.
Petro akapindura akati, “Kuna vamwe.” Jesu akati, “Saka vana vakasununguka.
27 But, lest we cause them to stumble, go to the sea, cast a hook, and take up the first fish that comes up. When you have opened its mouth, you will find a stater coin. Take that, and give it to them for me and you.”
Asi kuti tisavagumbura enda kugungwa unokanda chiredzo chako mumvura. Tora hove yaunotanga kubata, wovhura muromo wayo, uchawana muine mari inokwana mutero wangu newako, uvape.”
