Luke 22
1 The feast of the unleavened bread, known as the Passover, was near.
Zvino mabiko ezvingwa zvisina mbiriso akaswedera, anonzi pasika.
2 The chief priest and the teachers of the Law were looking for an opportunity of destroying Jesus, for they were afraid of the people.
Vapristi vakuru nevanyori ndokutsvaka kuti vangamuuraya sei; nokuti vaitya vanhu.
3 Now Satan took possession of Judas, who was known as Iscariot, and who belonged to the Twelve;
Zvino wakapinda Satani kuna Judhasi anotumidzwa Isikariyoti, waiverengwa pavanegumi nevaviri.
4 and he went and discussed with the chief priests and officers in charge at the Temple the best way of betraying Jesus to them.
Akaenda, akanotaura nevapristi vakuru nevatungamiriri, kuti angamutengesa sei kwavari.
5 They were glad of this, and agreed to pay him.
Zvino vakafara, vakatenderana kumupa mari.
6 So Judas assented, and looked for an opportunity to betray Jesus to them, in the absence of a crowd.
Zvino wakatenda, akatsvaka mukana wakafanira wekumutengesa kwavari pasina chaunga.
7 When the day of the Festival of the unleavened bread came, on which the Passover lambs had to be killed,
Zvino zuva rezvingwa zvisina mbiriso rakasvika, paifanira kubaiwa pasika.
8 Jesus sent forward Peter and John, saying to them, ‘Go and make preparations for our eating the Passover.’
Zvino wakatuma Petro naJohwani, achiti: Endai munotigadzirira pasika, kuti tidye.
9 ‘Where do you wish us to make preparations?’ they asked.
Zvino vakati kwaari: Ndekupi kwamunoda kuti tigadzirire?
10 ‘Listen,’ he answered, ‘when you have reached the city, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you; follow him into whatever house he enters;
Zvino wakati kwavari: Tarirai, kana mapinda muguta, munhu achasangana nemwi akatakura chirongo chemvura; mumutevere mumba maanopinda.
11 and you will say to the owner of the house “The teacher says to you – Where is the room where I am to eat the Passover with my disciples?”
Uye muti kumwene weimba: Mudzidzisi anoti kwauri: Imba yevaeni iripi, mandingadyira pasika nevadzidzi vangu?
12 The man will show you a large upstairs room, set out; there make preparations.’
Uye iye achakuratidzai imba huru yekumusoro yakarongedzwa; gadzirirai ipapo.
13 So Peter and John went on, and found everything just as Jesus had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
Zvino vakaenda vakanowana sezvaakange avaudza; ndokugadzirira pasika.
14 When the time came, Jesus took his place at the table, and the apostles with him.
Zvino awa rakati rasvika, akagara pakudya, nevaapositori gumi nevaviri vanaye.
15 ‘I have most earnestly wished,’ he said, ‘to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.
Ndokuti kwavari: Nechishuwo ndakashuva kudya pasika iyi nemwi ndisati ndatambudzika;
16 For I tell you that I will not eat it again, until it has had its fulfilment in the kingdom of God.’
nokuti ndinoti kwamuri: Handichazodyizve pairi, kusvikira yazadziswa muushe hwaMwari.
17 Then, on receiving a cup, after saying the thanksgiving, he said, ‘Take this and share it among you.
Zvino wakatora mukombe, avonga akati: Torai ichi, mugogovana.
18 For I tell you that I will not, after today, drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God has come.’
Nokuti ndinoti kwamuri: Handichatongonwi zvechibereko chemuzambiringa, kusvikira ushe hwaMwari hwasvika.
19 Then Jesus took some bread, and, after saying the thanksgiving, broke it and gave to them, with the words, ‘This is my body.
Zvino wakatora chingwa, akavonga, akamedura, ndokuvapa, achiti: Uyu muviri wangu, unopiwa pachinzvimbo chenyu; izvi itai kundirangarira.
Saizvozvowo mukombe shure kwekurayira, achiti: Mukombe uyu isungano itsva muropa rangu, rinoteurirwa imwi.
21 Yet see! The hand of the man who is betraying me is beside me on the table!
Asi tarirai, ruoko rweanonditengesa rwuneni patafura.
22 True, the Son of Man is passing, by the way ordained for him, yet alas for that man by whom he is being betrayed!’
Zvino zvirokwazvo Mwanakomana wemunhu anoenda sezvazvakatemwa; asi ane nhamo munhu uyo waanotengeswa naye!
23 Then they began questioning one another which of them it could be who was going to do this.
Zvino ivo vakatanga kubvunzana kuti ko ndiani pavari achaita chinhu ichi.
24 And a dispute arose among them as to which of them was to be regarded as the greatest.
Zvino gakava rakavapowo pakati pavo kuti ndiani kwavari anoverengwa semukurusa.
25 Jesus, however, said, ‘The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their oppressors are styled “Benefactors.”
Zvino wakati kwavari: Madzimambo evechirudzi anotonga zvakaoma pamusoro pavo, nevatongi vavo vanonzi vabatsiri.
26 But with you it must not be so. No, let the greatest among you become like the youngest, and him who leads like him who serves.
Asi imwi zvisadaro; asi mukurusa kwamuri ngaave semudiki, nemutungamiriri seanoshandira.
27 Which is the greater – the master at the table or his servant? Is not it the master at the table? Yet I myself am among you as one who serves.
Nokuti ndiani mukuru, uyo agere pakudya kana anoshandira? Haasi iye agere pakudya here? Asi ini ndiri pakati penyu seanoshandira.
28 You are the men who have stood by me in my trials;
Nemwi ndimwi makagara neni pamiedzo yangu;
29 and, just as my Father has assigned me a kingdom, I assign you places,
zvino ini ndinogadza kwamuri ushe, saBaba vangu vakagadza kwandiri;
30 so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and be seated on twelve thrones as judges of the twelve tribes of Israel.
kuti mudye nekunwa patafura yangu muushe hwangu, nekugara pazvigaro zveushe, muchitonga marudzi gumi nemaviri aIsraeri.
31 Simon! Simon! listen. Satan demanded leave to sift you all like wheat,
Ishe ndokuti: Simoni, Simoni, tarira, Satani wakukumbirai kuti akuzungurei segorosi;
32 but I prayed for you, Simon, that your faith should not fail. And you, when you have returned to me, are to strengthen the others.’
asi ini ndakunyengeterera, kuti rutendo rwako rwurege kupera; newe kana watendeuka, usimbise hama dzako.
33 ‘Master,’ said Peter, ‘with you I am ready to go both to prison and to death.’
Asi wakati kwaari: Ishe, ndakagadzirira kuenda nemwi zvese mutirongo nemurufu.
34 ‘I tell you, Peter,’ replied Jesus, ‘the cock will not crow today until you have disowned all knowledge of me three times.’
Asi iye wakati: Ndinokuudza, Petro, jongwe haringatongoriri nhasi, usati waramba katatu kuti unondiziva.
35 Then he said to them all, ‘When I sent you out as my messengers, without either purse, or bag, or sandals, were you in need of anything?’ ‘No; nothing,’ they answered.
Zvino wakati kwavari: Pandakakutumai musina chikwama nehombodo neshangu, makashaiwa chinhu here? Vakati: Hapana.
36 ‘Now, however,’ he said, ‘he who has a purse must take it and his bag as well; and he who has not must sell his cloak and buy a sword.
Zvino akati kwavari: Asi ikozvino, ane chikwama ngaatore, saizvozvowo nehombodo; neasina, ngaatengese nguvo yake, atenge munondo.
37 For, I tell you, that passage of scripture must be fulfilled in me, which says – “He was counted among the godless”; indeed all that refers to me is finding its fulfilment.’
Nokuti ndinoti kwamuri: Izvi zvakanyorwa zvichakafanira kuzadziswa mandiri, zvinoti: Wakaverengwa pamwe nevadariki; nokuti zvinhu izviwo zviri maererano neni zvine mugumo.
38 ‘Master,’ they exclaimed, ‘look, here are two swords!’ ‘Enough!’ said Jesus.
Zvino vakati: Ishe, tarirai, heyi minondo miviri. Akati kwavari: Zvaringana.
39 Jesus then went out, and made his way as usual to the Mount of Olives, followed by his disciples.
Zvino wakabuda akaenda sezvaaisiita kugomo reMiorivhi; nevadzidziwo vake vakamutevera.
40 And, when he reached the spot, he said to them, ‘Pray that you may not fall into temptation.’
Zvino wakati asvika panzvimbo, akati kwavari: Nyengeterai kuti murege kupinda pamuedzo.
41 Then he withdrew about a stone’s throw, and knelt down and began to pray.
Zvino iye wakasuduruka kwavari, chingava chinhambwe chingaposherwa ibwe; ndokufugama akanyengetera,
42 ‘Father,’ he said, ‘if it is your pleasure, spare me this cup; only, not my will but your be done.’
achiti: Baba, kana muchida, bvisai mukombe uyu kwandiri; asi chisava chido changu, asi chenyu ngachiitwe.
43 Presently there appeared to him an angel from heaven, who strengthened him.
Zvino kwakaonekwa mutumwa kwaari wakabva kudenga achimusimbisa.
44 And, as his anguish became intense, he prayed still more earnestly, while his sweat was like great drops of blood falling on the ground.
Zvino, ari pakurwadziwa kukuru, wakanyanya kunyengetera. Zvino ziya rake rikaita semazidomwe eropa achiwira pasi.
45 Then he rose from praying, and came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow.
Zvino wakati asimuka pamunyengetero, akauya kuvadzidzi vake, akavawana varara neshungu.
46 ‘Why are you asleep?’ he asked them. ‘Rise and pray so that you don’t fall into temptation.’
Ndokuti kwavari: Mararirei? Mukai munyengetere, kuti murege kupinda pamuedzo.
47 While he was still speaking, a crowd appeared in sight, led by the man called Judas, who was one of the Twelve. Judas approached Jesus, to kiss him;
Zvino wakati achataura, tarira, chaunga, naiye wainzi Judhasi, umwe wevanegumi nevaviri, akavatungamirira, ndokuswedera kuna Jesu, kuti amutsvode.
48 at which Jesus said to him, ‘Judas, is it by a kiss that you betray the Son of Man?’
Asi Jesu wakati kwaari: Judhasi, unotengesa Mwanakomana wemunhu netsvodo here?
49 But when those who were round Jesus saw what was going to happen, they exclaimed, ‘Master, should we use our swords?’
Zvino avo vaiva vakamukomba pavakaona zvaizoitika vakati kwaari: Ishe, tichatema nemunondo here?
50 And one of them struck the high priest’s servant and cut off his right ear;
Zvino umwe wavo wakatema muranda wemupristi mukuru, akagura nzeve yake yerudyi.
51 at which Jesus said, ‘Let me at least do this’; and, touching his ear, he healed the wound.
Asi Jesu wakapindura akati: Regai zvisvike ipapa. Ndokubata nzeve yake, akamuporesa.
52 Then, turning to the chief priests and officers in charge at the Temple and the elders, who had come for him, he said, ‘Have you come out, as if after a robber, with swords and clubs?
Zvino Jesu wakati kuvapristi vakuru nevatungamiriri vetembere nevakuru vakange vauya kwaari: Mabuda semakanangana negororo neminondo netsvimbo here?
53 When I was with you day after day in the Temple Courts, you did not lay hands on me; but now your time has come, and the power of darkness.’
Ndaiva nemwi mutembere zuva nezuva mukasatandavadzira ruoko kwandiri; asi zvino iawa renyu, nesimba rerima.
54 Those who had taken Jesus prisoner took him away into the house of the high priest. Peter followed at a distance.
Zvino vakamutora, vakamutungamidza, vakapinda naye mumba memupristi mukuru. Petro ndokutevera ari kure.
55 But, when they had lit a fire in the centre of the courtyard and had all sat down there, Peter seated himself in the middle of them.
Zvino vakati vavesa moto pakati pechivanze, ndokugara pasi pamwe, Petro akagara pakati pavo.
56 Presently a maidservant saw him sitting near the blaze of the fire. She looked carefully at him and said, ‘Why, this man was one of his companions!’
Zvino umwe murandakadzi wakamuona agere pamoto, ndokumutarisisa, akati: Uyuwo wakange anaye.
57 But Peter denied it. ‘I do not know him,’ he replied.
Asi iye wakamurambira, achiti: Mukadzi, handimuzivi.
58 A little while afterwards someone else – a man – saw him and said, ‘Why, you are one of them!’ ‘No,’ Peter said, ‘I am not.’
Uye shure kwechinguvana, umwe wakamuona akati: Iwewo uri umwe wavo. Petro ndokuti: Iwe munhu, handisi.
59 About an hour later another man declared positively, ‘This man also was certainly with him. Why, he is a Galilean!’
Zvino nguva inenge awa rimwe yakati yapfuura, umwezve wakasimbisa ane chokwadi, achiti: Zvirokwazvo uyuwo wakange anaye; nokuti muGarireawo.
60 But Peter said, ‘I do not know what you are speaking about.’ Instantly, while he was still speaking, a cock crowed.
Zvino Petro wakati: Iwe munhu, handizivi zvaunoreva. Pakarepo achataura jongwe rakarira.
61 And the Master turned and looked at Peter; and Peter remembered the words that the Master had said to him – ‘Before a cock has crowed today, you will disown me three times’;
Ishe ndokutendeuka akatarira Petro. Petro ndokurangarira shoko raIshe, kuti akamuudza sei, achiti: Jongwe risati rarira, uchandiramba katatu.
62 and he went outside and wept bitterly.
Zvino Petro wakabuda panze akachema zvinorwadza.
63 The men who held Jesus kept making sport of him and beating him.
Zvino varume vakange vakabata Jesu, vakamuseka, vakamurova.
64 They blindfolded him and then questioned him. ‘Now play the prophet,’ they said. ‘Who was it that struck you?’
Uye vakati vamuvhara kumeso, vakamurova chiso, ndokumubvunza vachiti: Porofita! Ndiani wakurova?
65 And they heaped many other insults on him.
Nezvimwe zvinhu zvizhinji vakareva kwaari, vachituka.
66 At daybreak the assembly of the elders of the people met – both the chief priests and the teachers of the Law – and took Jesus before their High Council.
Zvino kwakati kuchingoedza, dare revatariri vevanhu nevapristi vakuru nevanyori vakaungana, vakamuisa kudare ravo remakurukota vachiti:
67 ‘If you are the Christ,’ they said, ‘tell us so.’ ‘If I tell you,’ replied Jesus, ‘you will not believe me;
Kana iwe uri Kristu, tiudze. Zvino akati kwavari: Kana ndikakuudzai, hamutongotendi;
68 and, if I question you, you will not answer.
uyewo kana ndikabvunza, hamumbondipinduri, kana kundisunungura.
69 But from this hour the Son of Man will be seated on the right hand of God Almighty.’
Kubva ikozvino Mwanakomana wemunhu achagara kuruoko rwerudyi rwesimba rwaMwari.
70 ‘Are you, then, the Son of God?’ they all asked. ‘It is true,’ answered Jesus, ‘I am.’
Vese ndokuti: Naizvozvo iwe uri Mwanakomana waMwari kanhi? Iye ndokuti kwavari: Imwi mareva kuti ndini.
71 At this they exclaimed, ‘Why do we want any more evidence? We have heard it ourselves from his own lips!’
Zvino vakati: Tichadirei uchapupu? Nokuti tomene tanzwa pamuromo wake.
