Matthew 21
1 When they came near to Jerusalem and came to Bethsphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
Vakati vachiswedera kuJerusarema, vasvika kuBhetifage pagomo reMiorivhi, ipapo Jesu akatuma vadzidzi vaviri,
2 saying to them, “Go into the village that is opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me.
achiti kwavari: Endai kumusha wakatarisana nemwi, pakarepo muchawana mbongoro yakasungirwa, nedhongwana rinayo; sunungurai, muuyise kwandiri.
3 If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and immediately he will send them.”
Kana ani nani achitaura chinhu kwamuri, muchati: Ishe anozvida; pakarepo achazvitumira.
4 All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,
Izvozvi zvese zvakaitika, kuti zvizadziswe zvakataurwa nemuporofita, achiti:
5 “Tell the daughter of Zion, behold, your King comes to you, humble, and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”
Udzai mukunda weZiyoni: Tarira Mambo wako anouya kwauri, ari munyoro, akatasva mbongoro, nedhongwana, mwana wechipfuwo chemutoro.
6 The disciples went and did just as Jesus commanded them,
Vadzidzi vakaenda, vakaita Jesu sezvaakavaraira,
7 and brought the donkey and the colt and laid their clothes on them; and he sat on them.
vakauisa mbongoro nedhongwana, vakaisa nguvo dzavo pamusoro pazvo; vakamugadza pamusoro pazvo.
8 A very great multitude spread their clothes on the road. Others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.
Chaunga chikuru kwazvo chikawarira nguvo dzacho munzira; vamwe vakatema matavi pamiti vakawarira munzira.
9 The multitudes who went in front of him, and those who followed, kept shouting, “Hosanna to the son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”
Zvaunga zvakange zvakamutungamirira nevakange vachitevera vakadanidzira, vachiti: Hosana kuMwanakomana waDavhidhi! Wakaropafadzwa iye anouya muzita raIshe! Hosana kumusoro-soro!
10 When he had come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?”
Wakati apinda muJerusarema, guta rese rikazungunuswa, richiti: Ndiani uyu?
11 The multitudes said, “This is the prophet, Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.”
Zvaunga zvikati: Uyu ndiJesu muporofita weNazareta reGarirea.
12 Jesus entered into the temple of God and drove out all of those who sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the money changers’ tables and the seats of those who sold the doves.
Zvino Jesu wakapinda mutembere yaMwari, akadzingira vese vaitengesa nevaitenga mutembere, akapidigura matafura evaitsinhanha mari, nezvigaro zvevaitengesa njiva.
13 He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a den of robbers!”
Akati kwavari: Kwakanyorwa kuchinzi: Imba yangu ichanzi imba yemunyengetero; asi imwi munoiita bako remakororo.
14 The lame and the blind came to him in the temple, and he healed them.
Zvino kwakauya kwaari mapofu nevaikamhina mutembere; akavaporesa.
15 But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children who were crying in the temple and saying, “Hosanna to the son of David!” they were indignant,
Asi vapristi vakuru nevanyori vakati vachiona zvinhu zvinoshamisa zvaakange achiita, nevana vachidanidzira mutembere vachiti: Hosana kuMwanakomana waDhavhidhi! vakatsamwa,
16 and said to him, “Do you hear what these are saying?” Jesus said to them, “Yes. Did you never read, ‘Out of the mouth of children and nursing babies, you have perfected praise’?”
vakati kwaari: Unonzwa zvavanotaura ivava here? Jesu akati kwavari: Hongu, hamuna kutongoverenga here, kuti: Mumuromo mavacheche nevanoyamwa makapedzeredza rumbidzo?
17 He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, and camped there.
Akavasiya, akabuda panze peguta, achienda Bhetaniya, ndokurarapo.
18 Now in the morning, as he returned to the city, he was hungry.
Kuzoti mangwanani-ngwanani wakati achidzokera kuguta, akanzwa nzara.
19 Seeing a fig tree by the road, he came to it and found nothing on it but leaves. He said to it, “Let there be no fruit from you forever!” Immediately the fig tree withered away. (aiōn g165)
Zvino wakati achiona umwe muonde panzira, akaenda kwauri, akasawana chinhu kwauri, asi mashizha chete; akati kwauri: Ngakurege kuva nezvibereko kwauri kusvikira narinhi. Pakarepo muonde ukasvava. (aiōn g165)
20 When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree immediately wither away?”
Vadzidzi vakati vachiona, vakashamisika, vachiti: Muonde wasvava pakarepo sei?
21 Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, if you have faith and don’t doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ it would be done.
Jesu akapindura akati kwavari: Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Dai maiva nerutendo, musiri vasina chokwadi, hamungaiti izvi kumuonde chete, asi kunyange kana mukati kugomo iri: Simudzwa ukandirwe mugungwa; zvichaitwa.
22 All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”
Nezvese zvipi nezvipi zvamunokumbira mumunyengetero, kana muchitenda, muchazvigamuchira.
23 When he had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, “By what authority do you do these things? Who gave you this authority?”
Wakati apinda mutembere, vapristi vakuru nevakuru vevanhu vakauya kwaari achidzidzisa, vakati: Munoita zvinhu izvozvi nesimba ripi? Ndiani akakupai simba iri?
24 Jesus answered them, “I also will ask you one question, which if you tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
Jesu akapindura akati kwavari: Neni ndichakubvunzai shoko rimwe; kana mukandiudza iro, neni ndichakuudzai kuti ndinoita izvi nesimba ripi.
25 The baptism of John, where was it from? From heaven or from men?” They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask us, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’
Rubhabhatidzo rwaJohwani rwakabvepi? Kudenga here kana kuvanhu? Zvino vakataurirana pakati pavo vachiti: Kana tikati: Kudenga; uchati kwatiri: Saka sei musina kumutenda?
26 But if we say, ‘From men,’ we fear the multitude, for all hold John as a prophet.”
Asi kana tikati: Kuvanhu; tinotya chaunga; nokuti vese vakatora Johwani semuporofita.
27 They answered Jesus, and said, “We don’t know.” He also said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.
Vakapindura Jesu vakati: Hatizivi. Iye ndokuti kwavari: Neni handingakuudziyi simba randinoita naro izvi.
28 But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first, and said, ‘Son, go work today in my vineyard.’
Zvino munofungei? Munhu waiva nevanakomana vaviri; akauya kune wekutanga, akati: Mwana, enda nhasi unobata mumunda wangu wemizambiringa.
29 He answered, ‘I will not,’ but afterward he changed his mind, and went.
Iye akapindura akati: Handidi; asi pashure akatendeuka akaenda.
30 He came to the second, and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I’m going, sir,’ but he didn’t go.
Akaenda kune wechipiri akataura saizvozvo. Iye akapindura akati: Ndinoenda, ishe; akasaenda.
31 Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said to him, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into God’s Kingdom before you.
Ndeupi pavaviri akaita kuda kwababa? Vakati kwaari: Wekutanga. Jesu akati kwavari: Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Vateresi nezvifeve vanokutangirai kupinda muushe hwaMwari.
32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you didn’t believe him; but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. When you saw it, you didn’t even repent afterward, that you might believe him.
Nokuti Johwani akauya kwamuri nenzira yekururama, mukasamutenda; asi vateresi nezvifeve vakamutenda, asi imwi makati muchiona, hamuna kutendeuka shure kwaizvozvi kuti mumutende.
33 “Hear another parable. There was a man who was a master of a household who planted a vineyard, set a hedge about it, dug a wine press in it, built a tower, leased it out to farmers, and went into another country.
Inzwai umwe mufananidzo. Kwaiva neumwe munhu, mwene weimba, wakasima munda wemizambiringa, akaisa ruzhowa rwakaukomberedza, akachera pekusvinira waini mauri, akavaka shongwe, akauhaisa kuvarimi, akaenda kunze kwenyika.
34 When the season for the fruit came near, he sent his servants to the farmers to receive his fruit.
Kuzoti nguva yezvibereko yaswedera, akatuma varanda vake kuvarimi kuti vagamuchire zvibereko zvake.
35 The farmers took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned another.
Asi varimi vakabata varanda vake, umwe vakarova, umwe vakauraya, umwe vakataka nemabwe.
36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first; and they treated them the same way.
Akatumazve vamwe varanda vazhinji kune vekutanga; vakavaitira saizvozvo.
37 But afterward he sent to them his son, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
Asi pakupedzisira akatuma mwanakomana wake kwavari, achiti: Vacharemekedza mwanakomana wangu.
38 But the farmers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and seize his inheritance.’
Asi varimi vakati vachiona mwanakomana, vakataurirana, vachiti: Uyu ndiye mugari wenhaka; uyai, ngatimuurayeyi tibate nhaka yake.
39 So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard, then killed him.
Zvino vakamubata vakaposhera panze kunze kwemunda wemizambiringa vakamuuraya.
40 When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?”
Naizvozvo kana mwene wemunda wemizambiringa achisvika, uchaitei kuvarimi avo?
41 They told him, “He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will lease out the vineyard to other farmers who will give him the fruit in its season.”
Vakati kwaari: Achaparadza zvakaipa ava vakaipa, akahaisa vamwe varimi munda wemizambiringa, vachamupa zvibereko nenguva dzazvo.
42 Jesus said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures, ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the head of the corner. This was from the Lord. It is marvelous in our eyes’?
Jesu akati kwavari: Hamuna kutongoverenga here pamagwaro panoti: Ibwe vavaki ravakaramba, ndiro rakava musoro wekona; kubva kuna Ishe izvi zvaitika zvinoshamisa pameso edu?
43 “Therefore I tell you, God’s Kingdom will be taken away from you and will be given to a nation producing its fruit.
Naizvozvo ndinoti kwamuri: Ushe hwaMwari huchatorwa kubva kwamuri, hukapiwa kurudzi rwunobereka zvibereko zvahwo.
44 He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but on whomever it will fall, it will scatter him as dust.”
Uye anowira pamusoro pebwe iri, achavhunikanya; asi pane upi neupi warinowira richamukuya.
45 When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke about them.
Vapristi vakuru neVaFarisi vakati vachinzwa mifananidzo yake, vakaziva kuti anotaura nezvavo.
46 When they sought to seize him, they feared the multitudes, because they considered him to be a prophet.
Zvino vakati vachitsvaka kumubata vakatya zvaunga nokuti vaimutora semuporofita.
