Luke 19
1 And having entered, he walked through Jericho.
Zvino Jesu wakapinda, akagura muJeriko.
2 And behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus. And he was the leader of the tax collectors, and he was wealthy.
Zvino tarira, murume wainzi Zakewu nezita; iye wakange ari mutungamiriri wevateresi, uye iye waiva mufumi;
3 And he sought to see Jesus, to see who he was. But he was unable to do so, because of the crowd, for he was small in stature.
uye wakatsvaka kuona Jesu kuti ndiani; asi wakange asingagoni nekuda kwechaunga, nokuti wakange ane chimiro chifupi.
4 And running ahead, he climbed up a sycamore tree, so that he might see him. For he was to pass near there.
Zvino wakamhanyira mberi, akakwira mumuonde wemusikamori kuti amuone; nokuti wakange achizopfuura nenzira iyo.
5 And when he had arrived at the place, Jesus looked up and saw him, and he said to him: “Zacchaeus, hurry down. For today, I should lodge in your house.”
Zvino Jesu wakati achisvika panzvimbo iyo, wakatarira kumusoro, akamuona, akati kwaari: Zakewu, kurumidza uburuke; nokuti nhasi ndinofanira kugara mumba mako.
6 And hurrying, he came down, and he received him joyfully.
Zvino wakakurumidza kuburuka, akamugamuchira achifara.
7 And when they all saw this, they murmured, saying that he had turned aside to a sinful man.
Zvino vakati vazviona vakan'un'una vese vachiti: Wapinda kunogara nemurume mutadzi.
8 But Zacchaeus, standing still, said to the Lord: “Behold, Lord, one half of my goods I give to the poor. And if I have cheated anyone in any matter, I will repay him fourfold.”
Asi Zakewu wakamira, akati kuna Ishe: Tarirai, hafu yefuma yangu, Ishe, ndinopa kuvarombo, uye kana ndakatora chinhu kune umwe munhu nekunyengera, ndinodzosera runa.
9 Jesus said to him: “Today, salvation has come to this house; because of this, he too is a son of Abraham.
Jesu akati kwaari: Nhasi ruponeso rwasvika mumba muno; nokuti iyewo mwanakomana waAbhurahama.
10 For the Son of man has come to seek and to save what had been lost.”
Nokuti Mwanakomana wemunhu wakauya kuzotsvaka nekuponesa chakarasika.
11 As they were listening to these things, continuing on, he spoke a parable, because he was nearing Jerusalem, and because they guessed that the kingdom of God might be manifested without delay.
Vakati vanzwa zvinhu izvi, wakawedzera akataura mufananidzo, nokuti wakange ava pedo neJerusarema, uye nekuti vaifunga kuti ushe hwaMwari hwobva hwodoonekereswa.
12 Therefore, he said: “A certain man of nobility traveled to a far away region, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
Naizvozvo wakati: Umwe munhu ane mbiri wakaenda kunyika iri kure, kunozvigamuchirira ushe agodzoka.
13 And calling his ten servants, he gave them ten pounds, and he said to them: ‘Do business until I return.’
Zvino wakadana varanda vake gumi, ndokuvapa pondo gumi, ndokuti kwavari: Bhindaukai nayo kusvikira ndichiuya.
14 But his citizens hated him. And so they sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We do not want this one to reign over us.’
Asi vanhu venyika yake vakange vachimuvenga, vakatuma nhume shure kwake, vachiti: Hatidi uyu kuti atitonge.
15 And it happened that he returned, having received the kingdom. And he ordered the servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called so that he would know how much each one had earned by doing business.
Zvino zvakaitika kuti adzoka agamuchira ushe, wakaraira kuti vaya varanda vaakange apa mari, vadanirwe kwaari, kuti anzwe kuti umwe neumwe wakawana zvakadini nekutengeserana.
16 Now the first approached, saying: ‘Lord, your one pound has earned ten pounds.’
Wekutanga ndokusvika, achiti: Ishe, pondo yenyu yawana pondo gumi.
17 And he said to him: ‘Well done, good servant. Since you have been faithful in a small matter, you will hold authority over ten cities.’
Zvino akati kwaari: Zvakanaka, muranda wakanaka; nokuti wakange wakatendeka pachidiki-diki, uve nesimba pamusoro pemaguta gumi.
18 And the second came, saying: ‘Lord, your one pound has earned five pounds.’
Newechipiri wakasvika, achiti: Ishe, pondo yenyu yawana pondo shanu.
19 And he said to him, ‘And so, you shall be over five cities.’
Akati kwaariwo: Newe, uve pamusoro pemaguta mashanu.
20 And another approached, saying: ‘Lord, behold your one pound, which I kept stored in a cloth.
Zvino umwe wakasvika, achiti: Ishe, tarirai pondo yenyu, yandakange ndakachengeta mumucheka wekumeso;
21 For I feared you, because you are an austere man. You take up what you did not lay down, and you reap what you did not sow.’
nokuti ndakange ndichikutyai, nokuti muri munhu wakaoma; munotora zvamusina kuisa, muchikohwa izvo zvamusina kudzvara.
22 He said to him: ‘By your own mouth, do I judge you, O wicked servant. You knew that I am an austere man, taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow.
Zvino wakati kwaari: Ndichakutonga nezvinobuda mumuromo mako, muranda wakaipa; wakange uchiziva kuti ini ndiri munhu wakaoma, ndichitora zvandisakaisa, nekukohwa izvo zvandisina kudzvara;
23 And so, why did you not give my money to the bank, so that, upon my return, I might have withdrawn it with interest?’
naizvozvo sei usina kuisa mari yangu mubhanga, kuti kana ndouya ndigozoitora pamwe nezvibereko.
24 And he said to the bystanders, ‘Take the pound away from him, and give it to him who has ten pounds.’
Ndokuti kune vakange vamirepo: Mutorerei pondo mupe kune ane pondo gumi.
25 And they said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten pounds.’
Asi vakati kwaari: Ishe, ane pondo gumi.
26 So then, I say to you, that to all who have, it shall be given, and he will have in abundance. And from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.
Nokuti ndinoti kwamuri: Anazvo achapiwa; uye asina, kwaari kuchatorwa nezvaanazvo.
27 ‘Yet truly, as for those enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here, and put them to death before me.’”
Asi vavengi vangu avo, vakange vasingadi kuti nditonge pamusoro pavo, uisai pano, muvauraye pamberi pangu.
28 And having said these things, he went ahead, ascending to Jerusalem.
Zvino wakati areva zvinhu izvi, akapfuurira mberi, achikwira kuJerusarema.
29 And it happened that, when he had drawn near to Bethphage and Bethania, to the mount which is called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples,
Zvino zvakaitika oswedera kuBhetifage neBhetaniya pagomo rinonzi reMiorivhi, wakatuma vaviri vevadzidzi vake,
30 saying: “Go into the town which is opposite you. Upon entering it, you will find the colt of a donkey, tied, on which no man has ever sat. Untie it, and lead it here.
achiti: Fambai muende mumusha wakatarisana nemwi; kana muchipinda mauri, muchawana dhongwana rakasungirwa, risina munhu wakamborigara; murisunungure, mugoriuisa.
31 And if anyone will ask you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you shall say this to him: ‘Because the Lord has requested its service.’”
Zvino kana chero munhu akakubvunzai achiti: Munorisunungurirei? Muchataura kwaari kudai: Ishe anorida.
32 And those who were sent went out, and they found the colt standing, just as he told them.
Avo vakatumwa vakaenda vakanowana sezvaakange ataura kwavari.
33 Then, as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
Zvino vakati vachisunungura dhongwana, varidzi varo vakati kwavari: Munosunungurirei dhongwana?
34 So they said, “Because the Lord has need of it.”
Ivo ndokuti: Ishe anorida.
35 And they led it to Jesus. And casting their garments on the colt, they helped Jesus onto it.
Zvino vakariuisa kuna Jesu; ndokukanda nguvo dzavo pamusoro pedhongwana, vakatasvisa Jesu pariri.
36 Then, as he was traveling, they were laying down their garments along the way.
Zvino achifamba, vakawarira nguvo dzavo munzira.
37 And when he was now drawing near to the descent of Mount Olivet, the entire crowd of his disciples began to praise God joyfully, with a loud voice, over all the powerful works which they had seen,
Zvino wakati oswedera ikozvino pamateru egomo reMiorivhi, chaunga chese chevadzidzi chikatanga kufara chichirumbidza Mwari nenzwi guru pamusoro pamabasa ese esimba avakange vaona,
38 saying: “Blessed is the king who has arrived in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory on high!”
vachiti: Wakaropafadzwa mambo anouya muzita raIshe; rugare kudenga, nekubwinya kumusoro-soro.
39 And certain Pharisees within the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.”
Uye vamwe veVaFarisi vari pakati pechaunga vakati kwaari: Mudzidzisi, tsiurai vadzidzi venyu.
40 And he said to them, “I tell you, that if these will keep silent, the stones themselves will cry out.”
Zvino wakapindura akati kwavari: Ndinokuudzai kuti kana ava vakanyarara, mabwe achadanidzira.
41 And when he drew near, seeing the city, he wept over it, saying:
Zvino wakati aswedera, wakaona guta, akachema pamusoro paro,
42 “If only you had known, indeed even in this your day, which things are for your peace. But now they are hidden from your eyes.
achiti: Dai newe waiziva, kunyange pazuva rino rako zvinhu zverugare rwako; asi zvino zvakavanzirwa meso ako.
43 For the days will overtake you. And your enemies will encircle you with a valley. And they will surround you and hem you in on every side.
Nokuti mazuva achasvika pamusoro pako, apo vavengi vako vachakukandira muchinjiziri wakakupoteredza, vachakukomba, nekukudzvinyidzira pamativi ese,
44 And they will knock you down to the ground, with your sons who are in you. And they will not leave stone upon stone within you, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation.”
uye vachakuputsira pasi iwe nevana vako mukati mako, havangasii mukati mako ibwe pamusoro pebwe; nokuti hauna kuziva nguva yekushanyirwa kwako.
45 And entering into the temple, he began to cast out those who sold in it, and those who bought,
Zvino wakapinda mutembere, akatanga kudzingira panze vakange vachitengesamo nevaitenga,
46 saying to them: “It is written: ‘My house is a house of prayer.’ But you have made it into a den of robbers.”
achiti kwavari: Kwakanyorwa kuti: Imba yangu imba yemunyengetero; asi imwi maiita bako remakororo.
47 And he was teaching in the temple daily. And the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, and the leaders of the people were seeking to destroy him.
Zvino waidzidzisa zuva rimwe nerimwe mutembere; asi vapristi vakuru nevanyori nevakuru vevanhu vakatsvaka kumuparadza.
48 But they could not find what to do to him. For all the people were listening to him attentively.
Asi havana kuwana zvavangaita, nokuti vanhu vese vakamunamatira vachimunzwa.
