Luke 19
1 And having come in He passed through Jericho.
Zvino Jesu wakapinda, akagura muJeriko.
2 And behold, a certain man by name called Zaccheus; and he was chief of the publicans, and he was rich.
Zvino tarira, murume wainzi Zakewu nezita; iye wakange ari mutungamiriri wevateresi, uye iye waiva mufumi;
3 And he was seeking to see Jesus, who He is; and was not able on account of the multitude, because he was small in stature.
uye wakatsvaka kuona Jesu kuti ndiani; asi wakange asingagoni nekuda kwechaunga, nokuti wakange ane chimiro chifupi.
4 And having run forward in advance, he went up in a sycamore-tree in order that he might see Him: because He was about to pass that way.
Zvino wakamhanyira mberi, akakwira mumuonde wemusikamori kuti amuone; nokuti wakange achizopfuura nenzira iyo.
5 And when He came to the place, Jesus looking up, saw him, and said to him, Zaccheus, hastening, come down; for it behooveth me to abide in thy house this day.
Zvino Jesu wakati achisvika panzvimbo iyo, wakatarira kumusoro, akamuona, akati kwaari: Zakewu, kurumidza uburuke; nokuti nhasi ndinofanira kugara mumba mako.
6 And hastening, he came down, and received Him rejoicing.
Zvino wakakurumidza kuburuka, akamugamuchira achifara.
7 And all seeing, murmured, saying, that He is come in to abide with a sinner man.
Zvino vakati vazviona vakan'un'una vese vachiti: Wapinda kunogara nemurume mutadzi.
8 And Zaccheus standing, said to the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any one fraudulently, I restore 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 And Jesus said to him, This day salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham;
Jesu akati kwaari: Nhasi ruponeso rwasvika mumba muno; nokuti iyewo mwanakomana waAbhurahama.
10 for the Son of man came to seek and to save that which is lost.
Nokuti Mwanakomana wemunhu wakauya kuzotsvaka nekuponesa chakarasika.
11 And they hearing these things, proceeding, He spoke a parable, because he is nigh unto Jerusalem, and they think the kingdom of God is about to be made manifest immediately.
Vakati vanzwa zvinhu izvi, wakawedzera akataura mufananidzo, nokuti wakange ava pedo neJerusarema, uye nekuti vaifunga kuti ushe hwaMwari hwobva hwodoonekereswa.
12 Then He said, A certain nobleman went to a far country, to receive for himself a kingdom, and return.
Naizvozvo wakati: Umwe munhu ane mbiri wakaenda kunyika iri kure, kunozvigamuchirira ushe agodzoka.
13 And calling his ten servants, he gave to them ten pounds, and said to them, Operate till I come.
Zvino wakadana varanda vake gumi, ndokuvapa pondo gumi, ndokuti kwavari: Bhindaukai nayo kusvikira ndichiuya.
14 But his citizens continued to hate him, and sent an embassy after him, saying, We do not wish this man to rule over us.
Asi vanhu venyika yake vakange vachimuvenga, vakatuma nhume shure kwake, vachiti: Hatidi uyu kuti atitonge.
15 And it came to pass, when he returned, having received the kingdom, and he said, that those servants should be called, to whom he had given the money, in order that he might know what each one had gained by their merchandise.
Zvino zvakaitika kuti adzoka agamuchira ushe, wakaraira kuti vaya varanda vaakange apa mari, vadanirwe kwaari, kuti anzwe kuti umwe neumwe wakawana zvakadini nekutengeserana.
16 And the first came, saying, Lord, thy pound has gained ten pounds.
Wekutanga ndokusvika, achiti: Ishe, pondo yenyu yawana pondo gumi.
17 And he said to him, Well done, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in the least, have thou authority over ten cities.
Zvino akati kwaari: Zvakanaka, muranda wakanaka; nokuti wakange wakatendeka pachidiki-diki, uve nesimba pamusoro pemaguta gumi.
18 And the second one came, saying, Lord, thy pound has gained five pounds.
Newechipiri wakasvika, achiti: Ishe, pondo yenyu yawana pondo shanu.
19 And he also said to him, Be thou over five cities.
Akati kwaariwo: Newe, uve pamusoro pemaguta mashanu.
20 And the other one came, saying, Lord, behold, thy pound, which I had laid away in a napkin:
Zvino umwe wakasvika, achiti: Ishe, tarirai pondo yenyu, yandakange ndakachengeta mumucheka wekumeso;
21 for I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that which thou hadst not laid down, and thou reapest that which thou hast not sown.
nokuti ndakange ndichikutyai, nokuti muri munhu wakaoma; munotora zvamusina kuisa, muchikohwa izvo zvamusina kudzvara.
22 And he says to him, Out of thine own mouth I will judge thee, thou wicked servant. Didst thou know that I am an austere man, taking up what I have not laid down, and reaping what I have not sown?
Zvino wakati kwaari: Ndichakutonga nezvinobuda mumuromo mako, muranda wakaipa; wakange uchiziva kuti ini ndiri munhu wakaoma, ndichitora zvandisakaisa, nekukohwa izvo zvandisina kudzvara;
23 Wherefore indeed didst thou not put my money in the bank? and having come I would have received the same with the product.
naizvozvo sei usina kuisa mari yangu mubhanga, kuti kana ndouya ndigozoitora pamwe nezvibereko.
24 And he said to the bystanders, Take the pound from him, and give it to the one having 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 I say unto you, that to every one having it shall be given; and from every one not having, it shall be taken away even that which he hath.
Nokuti ndinoti kwamuri: Anazvo achapiwa; uye asina, kwaari kuchatorwa nezvaanazvo.
27 Moreover bring these my enemies, not wishing me to rule over them, hither, and slay them before me.
Asi vavengi vangu avo, vakange vasingadi kuti nditonge pamusoro pavo, uisai pano, muvauraye pamberi pangu.
28 And speaking these things, He was journeying before them, going up to Jerusalem.
Zvino wakati areva zvinhu izvi, akapfuurira mberi, achikwira kuJerusarema.
29 And it came to pass, when He drew nigh unto Bethphage and Bethany, to the mount called the Mount of Olives, and He sent away two of His disciples,
Zvino zvakaitika oswedera kuBhetifage neBhetaniya pagomo rinonzi reMiorivhi, wakatuma vaviri vevadzidzi vake,
30 saying, Go into the village over against you; in which entering you will find a colt tied, on which no one of men ever sat: loosing, lead him hither.
achiti: Fambai muende mumusha wakatarisana nemwi; kana muchipinda mauri, muchawana dhongwana rakasungirwa, risina munhu wakamborigara; murisunungure, mugoriuisa.
31 And if any one may ask you, Why do you loose him? thus say to him, that the Lord hath need of him:
Zvino kana chero munhu akakubvunzai achiti: Munorisunungurirei? Muchataura kwaari kudai: Ishe anorida.
32 and those having been sent, departing, found as Jesus told them.
Avo vakatumwa vakaenda vakanowana sezvaakange ataura kwavari.
33 And they loosing the donkey, his master said to them, Why do you loose the donkey?
Zvino vakati vachisunungura dhongwana, varidzi varo vakati kwavari: Munosunungurirei dhongwana?
34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
Ivo ndokuti: Ishe anorida.
35 And they led him to Jesus: and casting their garments on the colt, they mounted Jesus on them.
Zvino vakariuisa kuna Jesu; ndokukanda nguvo dzavo pamusoro pedhongwana, vakatasvisa Jesu pariri.
36 And He going forward, they were strewing their garments in the road.
Zvino achifamba, vakawarira nguvo dzavo munzira.
37 And He already drawing nigh to the descension of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to praise God with a loud voice for all those miracles which they saw; shouting,
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 coming in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
vachiti: Wakaropafadzwa mambo anouya muzita raIshe; rugare kudenga, nekubwinya kumusoro-soro.
39 And certain ones of the Pharisees from the multitude said to Him, Teacher, rebuke thy disciples:
Uye vamwe veVaFarisi vari pakati pechaunga vakati kwaari: Mudzidzisi, tsiurai vadzidzi venyu.
40 and He responding said to them, I say unto you, that if these may keep silent, the rocks 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,
Zvino wakati aswedera, wakaona guta, akachema pamusoro paro,
42 saying, If thou indeed hadst known, truly in this thy day, the things appertaining to thy peace! but now they are hidden from thy eyes.
achiti: Dai newe waiziva, kunyange pazuva rino rako zvinhu zverugare rwako; asi zvino zvakavanzirwa meso ako.
43 Because the days will come upon thee, and thine enemies will cast a fortification about thee, and surround thee, and press in on thee from all directions,
Nokuti mazuva achasvika pamusoro pako, apo vavengi vako vachakukandira muchinjiziri wakakupoteredza, vachakukomba, nekukudzvinyidzira pamativi ese,
44 and will slay thee, and thy children in thee; and will leave in thee not a stone upon a stone; because thou hast not known the time of thy visitation.
uye vachakuputsira pasi iwe nevana vako mukati mako, havangasii mukati mako ibwe pamusoro pebwe; nokuti hauna kuziva nguva yekushanyirwa kwako.
45 And having come into the temple, He began to cast out those buying and selling,
Zvino wakapinda mutembere, akatanga kudzingira panze vakange vachitengesamo nevaitenga,
46 saying to them; It has been written, My house shall be a house of prayer: but you have made it a den of thieves.
achiti kwavari: Kwakanyorwa kuti: Imba yangu imba yemunyengetero; asi imwi maiita bako remakororo.
47 And He was teaching daily in the temple, and the chief priests and scribes and the first men of the people were seeking to destroy Him.
Zvino waidzidzisa zuva rimwe nerimwe mutembere; asi vapristi vakuru nevanyori nevakuru vevanhu vakatsvaka kumuparadza.
48 And they were not finding what they might do; for all the people hung on Him, hearing Him.
Asi havana kuwana zvavangaita, nokuti vanhu vese vakamunamatira vachimunzwa.
