Mateo 20
1 Nokuti ushe hwekumatenga hwakafanana nemunhu, mwene weimba, wakabuda mangwanani-ngwanani kunopinza basa vashandi mumunda wake wemizambiringa.
“For the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who was the master of a household, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.
2 Wakati atenderana nevabati padhenario pazuva, akavatuma kumunda wake wemizambiringa.
When he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
3 Akabuda neawa rinenge rechitatu, akaona vamwe vamire pamusika, vasina chekuita;
He went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace.
4 akati kwavari: Endai imwiwo mumunda wemizambiringa, ndigokupai chero zvakafanira. Vakaendawo.
He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.’ So they went their way.
5 Akabudazve neawa rinenge rechitanhatu nerepfumbamwe, akaita saizvozvo.
Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.
6 Zvino neawa rinenge regumi nerimwe wakabuda, akawana vamwe vamire vasina chekuita, akati kwavari: Makamirirei pano zuva rese musina chekuita?
About the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle. He said to them, ‘Why do you stand here all day idle?’
7 Vakati kwaari: Nokuti hapana munhu wakatipinza basa. Akati kwavari: Endai nemwiwo mumunda wemizambiringa, muchagamuchira chero zvakafanira.
“They said to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ “He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and you will receive whatever is right.’
8 Kuzoti ava madekwani, mwene wemunda wemizambiringa wakati kumutariri wake: Dana vabati, uvape mubairo, uchitanga kune vekupedzisira, kusvikira kune vekutanga.
“When evening had come, the lord of the vineyard said to his manager, ‘Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning from the last to the first.’
9 Zvino vakati vachiuya veawa rinenge regumi nerimwe, vakagamuchira umwe neumwe dhenario.
“When those who were hired at about the eleventh hour came, they each received a denarius.
10 Asi vekutanga vakati vachiuya, vakafunga kuti vachagamuchira zvakapfuura; asi ivowo vakagamuchira umwe neumwe dhenario.
When the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise each received a denarius.
11 Vakati vagamuchira vakagunun'unira mwene weimba,
When they received it, they murmured against the master of the household,
12 vachiti: Ava vekupedzisira vakabata awa rimwe chete, asi mavaenzanisa nesu takatakura mutoro wezuva nekupisa.
saying, ‘These last have spent one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat!’
13 Asi wakapindura akati kune umwe wavo: Shamwari, handikuitiri zvisakarurama; hauna kutenderana here neni padhenario?
“But he answered one of them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Didn’t you agree with me for a denarius?
14 Tora zvako uende; ndinoda kupa kune uyu wekupedzisira sewewo.
Take that which is yours, and go your way. It is my desire to give to this last just as much as to you.
15 Ko handitenderwi kuita zvandinoda nezvangu here? Ziso rako rakaipa, nokuti ini ndakanaka here?
Isn’t it lawful for me to do what I want to with what I own? Or is your eye evil, because I am good?’
16 Saizvozvo vekupedzisira vachava vekutanga, nevekutanga vekupedzisira; nokuti vazhinji vakadanwa, asi vashoma vachasarudzwa.
So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few are chosen.”
17 Jesu wakati achikwira kuJerusarema akatora vadzidzi gumi nevaviri vari vega munzira, akati kwavari:
As Yeshua was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside, and on the way he said to them,
18 Tarira, tinokwira kuJerusarema, zvino Mwanakomana wemunhu achakumikidzwa kuvapristi vakuru nevanyori, vachamutongera rufu.
“Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death,
19 Vachamukumikidza kuvahedheni, kuti vasveveredze, varove netyava, nekuroverera pamuchinjikwa; asi nezuva retatu achamuka.
and will hand him over to the Gentiles to mock, to scourge, and to crucify; and the third day he will be raised up.”
20 Zvino kwakauya kwaari mai vevanakomana vaZebhedhi nevanakomana vavo, vakanamata vachikumbira chimwe chinhu kwaari.
Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, kneeling and asking a certain thing of him.
21 Akati kwavari: Munodei? Vakati kwaari: Taurai kuti vanakomana vangu ava vaviri vagare, umwe kuruoko rwenyu rwerudyi, umwe kuruboshwe, muushe hwenyu.
He said to her, “What do you want?” She said to him, “Command that these, my two sons, may sit, one on your right hand and one on your left hand, in your Kingdom.”
22 Asi Jesu akapindura, akati: Hamuzivi chamunokumbira. Mungagona kunwa mukombe wandava kuzonwa ini here, uye kubhabhatidzwa nerubhabhatidzo rwandinobhabhatidzwa narwo ini? Vakati kwaari: Tinogona.
But Yeshua answered, “You don’t know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be immersed with the immersion that I am immersed with?” They said to him, “We are able.”
23 Akati kwavari: Muchanwa zvirokwazvo mukombe wangu, nekubhabhatidzwa nerubhabhatidzo rwandinobhabhatidzwa narwo ini; asi kugara kuruoko rwangu rwerudyi, nekuruboshwe rwangu, hazvisi zvangu kuti ndipe, asi ndezvevakazvigadzirirwa naBaba vangu.
He said to them, “You will indeed drink my cup, and be immersed with the immersion that I am immersed with; but to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give, but it is for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”
24 Vanegumi vakati vanzwa, vakatsamwira avo mukoma nemunin'ina vaviri.
When the ten heard it, they were indignant with the two brothers.
25 Asi Jesu akavadanira kwaari, akati: Munoziva kuti vatungamiriri vevahedheni vanovatsikirira, nevakuru vanoratidza simba pamusoro pavo.
But Yeshua summoned them, and said, “You know that the rulers of the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.
26 Asi hazvingazodaro pakati penyu; asi ani nani anoda kuva mukuru pakati penyu, ngaave mushandiri wenyu.
It shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant.
27 Zvino ani nani anoda kuva wekutanga pakati penyu, ngaave muranda wenyu.
Whoever desires to be first among you shall be your bondservant,
28 SeMwanakomana wemunhu haana kuuya kuzoshandirwa, asi kuzoshandira, nekupa upenyu hwake huve rudzikunuro rwevazhinji.
even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
29 Vakati vachibuda kubva Jeriko, chaunga chikuru chikamutevera.
As they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
30 Zvino tarira, mapofu maviri agere parutivi rwenzira, akati achinzwa kuti Jesu wopfuura, akadanidzira, achiti: Tinzwirei tsitsi, Ishe, Mwanakomana waDhavhidhi!
Behold, two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Yeshua was passing by, cried out, “Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David!”
31 Chaunga chikaatsiura kuti anyarare; asi akanyanya kudanidzira, achiti: Tinzwirei tsitsi, Ishe, Mwanakomana waDhavhidhi!
The multitude rebuked them, telling them that they should be quiet, but they cried out even more, “Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David!”
32 Jesu ndokumira, akaadana, akati: Munoda kuti ndikuitirei?
Yeshua stood still and called them, and asked, “What do you want me to do for you?”
33 Akati kwaari: Ishe, kuti meso edu asvinudzwe.
They told him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened.”
34 Jesu akanzwa tsitsi, akabata meso awo; pakarepo meso awo akaonazve, akamutevera.
Yeshua, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes received their sight, and they followed him.
