Luke 20
1 And it came to pass, on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and telling the good tidings, that the High-priests and the Scribes, with the Elders, came upon him, —
Nerimwe ramazuva paakanga achidzidzisa vanhu mutemberi uye achiparidza vhangeri, vaprista vakuru navadzidzisi vomurayiro, pamwe chete navakuru, vakasvika kwaari.
2 and spake, saying, unto him—Tell us, by what authority, these things, thou art doing, and, who, is it, that gave thee this authority.
Vakati kwaari, “Tiudzei kuti munoita zvinhu izvi nesimba ripi? Ndiani akakupai simba iri?”
3 And answering, he said unto them—I too, will question, you, as to a matter, —and tell me!
Akapindura akati, “Neniwo ndichakubvunzai mubvunzo. Ndiudzei,
4 The immersion of John, Of heaven, was it, or of men?
‘Rubhabhatidzo rwaJohani rwakabva kudenga here kana kuti kuvanhu?’”
5 And they deliberated together by themselves, saying—If we say, Of heaven, he will say, Wherefore did ye not believe him?
Vakataurirana pakati pavo vakati, “Kana tikati, ‘Rwakabva kudenga,’ iye achati, ‘Seiko musina kumutenda?’
6 But, if we say, Of men, the people, one and all, will stone us, for, persuaded, they are, that, John, was, a prophet.
Asi kana tikati, ‘Rwakabva kuvanhu,’ vanhu vose vachatitaka namabwe, nokuti vanotenda kuti Johani akanga ari muprofita.”
7 And they answered, that they knew not whence.
Saka ivo vakazoti, “Hatizivi kuti rwakabvepi.”
8 And, Jesus, said unto them—Neither do, I, tell, you, by what authority, these things, I am doing.
Jesu akati, “Neniwo handichakuudzai simba randinoita naro zvinhu izvi.”
9 And he began, unto the people, to be speaking this parable: —A man, planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen, and went from home for a long time.
Akaenderera mberi akaudza vanhu mufananidzo uyu akati, Mumwe murume akadyara munda wake wemizambiringa, akaupa kuna vamwe varimi kwechinguva achibva aenda kure kune imwe nyika kwenguva refu.
10 And, in due season, he sent unto the husbandmen, a servant, that, of the fruit of the vineyard, they might give him; but, the husbandmen, having beaten him, sent him away empty.
Panguva yokukohwa, akatuma muranda kuvarimi kuti vamupe zvimwe zvezvibereko zvemizambiringa. Asi varimi vakamurova vakamuendesa asina chinhu.
11 And he, further, sent another servant; but, they, beating, that one also, and dishonouring him, sent him away, empty.
Akatumazve mumwe muranda, asi naiyewo vakamurova uye vakamuitira zvinonyadzisa ndokumudzosazve asina chinhu.
12 And he, further, sent, a third; but, they, bruising, this one also, thrust him out.
Akatumazve mumwe wechitatu, uyu vakamukuvadza ndokumukanda kunze.
13 And the lord of the vineyard said—What shall I do? I will send my son, the beloved, —It may be, that, him, they will respect.
“Ipapo muridzi womunda wemizambiringa akati, ‘Ndichaita seiko? Ndichatuma mwanakomana wangu, iye wandinoda; zvimwe vachamuremekedza.’
14 But he husbandmen, seeing him, began to deliberate one with another, saying—This, is, the heir: Let us slay him, that, ours, may be, the inheritance.
“Asi varimi vakati vachimuona, vakataurirana pachavo vakati, ‘Uyu ndiye mudyi wenhaka. Ngatimuurayei nhaka igova yedu.’
15 And, thrusting him forth outside the vineyard, they slew him. What, then, will the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
Saka vakamubudisa mumunda wemizambiringa ndokubva vamuuraya. “Zvino muridzi womunda womuzambiringa achaitei kwavari?
16 He will come, and destroy these husbandmen, and give the vineyard unto others. But, when they heard it, they said—Far be it!
Achauya agouraya varimi avo agopa vamwe varimi munda womuzambiringa.” Vanhu vakati vanzwa izvozvo, vakati, “Dai zvakadai zvikasatomboitika!”
17 But, he, looking at them, said—What, then, is this that is written, —A stone which the builders’ rejected, The same, hath become, head of the corner?
Jesu akavatarisisa uye akavabvunza akati, “Zvino zvakanyorwa zvinoreveiko zvinoti: “‘Ibwe rakarambwa navavaki ndiro razova musoro wekona’?
18 Every one who falleth on that stone, will be sorely bruised, but, on whomsoever it shall fall, it will utterly destroy him.
Mumwe nomumwe anowira padombo iroro achavhunika-vhunika asi uyo warinowira achapwanyiwa.”
19 And the Scribes and the High-priests sought to thrust on him their hands, in that very hour; and feared the people; for they perceived that, against them, spake he this parable.
Vadzidzisi vomurayiro navaprista vakuru vakatsvaka nzira yokumusunga pakarepo, nokuti vaiziva kuti akanga ataura mufananidzo uyu pamusoro pavo. Asi vakanga vachitya vanhu.
20 And, watching narrowly, they sent forth suborned men, feigning themselves to be, righteous, that they might lay hold of a word of his, so as to deliver him up unto the rule and the authority of the governor.
Vakaramba vachimucherechedza, vakatuma vasori, vakanga vachinyepedzera kuva vakatendeka. Vakanga vane tariro yokuti vamubate iye Jesu pachinhu chaanenge ataura kuitira kuti vagomuisa kusimba noutongi hwomubati.
21 And they questioned him, saying—Teacher! we know that, rightly, thou speakest and teachest, and respectest no person, but, in truth, the way of God, dost teach:
Saka vasori vakamubvunza vachiti, “Mudzidzisi, tinoziva kuti munotaura uye munodzidzisa zvakarurama, uye kuti hamusi mutsauri wavanhu asi munodzidzisa nzira yaMwari zviri maererano nezvokwadi.
22 Is it allowable for us to give, unto Caesar, tribute, or not?
Ko, zvakanaka here kuti tiripe mutero kuna Kesari kana kuti kwete?”
23 But, observing their villainy, he said unto them—
Akaona kunyengera kwavo akati kwavari,
24 Shew me a denary. Of whom, hath it an image and inscription? And, they, said—Of Caesar.
“Ndiratidzei dhenari. Ko, mufananidzo norunyoro zviripo ndezvani?”
25 And, he, said unto them—Well then! render the things of Caesar, unto Caesar, and the things of God, unto God.
Vakapindura vakati, “NdezvaKesari.” Iye akati kwavari, “Ipai Kesari zvaKesari uye mugopa Mwari zvaMwari.”
26 And they could not lay hold of the saying, before the people; and, marvelling at his answer, they held their peace.
Vakanga vasingagoni kumuteya nezvaakanga ataura ipapo pane vanhu. Vakashamiswa nokupindura kwake, vakanyarara.
27 But there came near certain of the Sadducees, they who say, Resurrection, there is none! and questioned him,
Vamwe vaSadhusi, vanoti hakuna kumuka kwavakafa, vakauya nomubvunzo kuna Jesu.
28 saying—Teacher! Moses, wrote for us, If one’s brother die, having a wife, and, he, be, childless, that his brother shall take the wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
Vakati, “Mudzidzisi, Mozisi akatinyorera kuti kana mukoma womunhu akafa akasiya mukadzi asina vana, murume anofanira kuwana chirikadzi iyo amutsire mukoma wake vana.
29 Seven brethren, therefore, there were, —and, the first, taking a wife, died childless,
Zvino pakanga pane vanakomana vanomwe. Wokutanga akawana mukadzi, akafa asina mwana.
30 And, the second,
Wechipiri akamuwana uye akafa asina mwana.
31 and the third, took her, —yea, likewise, even the seven; They left no children, and died:
Uye wechitatu akamuwana, uye nenzira imwe cheteyo, vose vari vanomwe vakafa, vachisiya pasina vana.
32 Later on, the woman also, died.
Pakupedzisira, mukadzi akafawo.
33 The woman, therefore, in the resurrection, Of which of them, doth she become wife? for, the seven, had her to wife.
Zvino mukadzi uyu achava waaniko pakumuka kwavakafa sezvo akanga ari mukadzi kwavari vose vari vanomwe?”
Jesu akapindura akati, “Vanhu venyika ino vanowana nokuwanikwa. (aiōn g165)
35 But, they who have been accounted worthy, that age, to obtain, and the resurrection that is from among the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage; (aiōn g165)
Asi vaya vanoonekwa kuti vakakodzera kurarama munyika iyo nomukumuka kwavakafa, havazowani kana kuwanikwa, (aiōn g165)
36 For they cannot, even die any more, —for, equal unto messengers, are they, and are, sons of God, Of the resurrection, being, sons.
uye havazofizve; nokuti vafanana navatumwa. Vana vaMwari, sezvo vari vana vokumuka kwavakafa.
37 But, that the dead do rise, even Moses, disclosed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord—The God of Abraham and God of Isaac and God of Jacob:
Asi panhoroondo yegwenzi, kunyange naMozisi akaratidza kuti vakafa vanomutswa, nokuti anoti, Ishe ndiye ‘Mwari waAbhurahama, naMwari waIsaka, uye naMwari waJakobho.’
38 Now, God, he is not, of the dead, but, of the living, —for, all, unto him, do live.
Haasi Mwari wavakafa, asi wavapenyu, nokuti kwaari vose vapenyu.”
39 And certain of the Scribes, answering, said—Teacher! Well, hast thou spoken.
Vamwe vadzidzisi vomurayiro vakati, “Mataura zvakanaka, mudzidzisi!”
40 For, no longer, were they daring to ask him any questions.
Uye hakuna akazoda kumubvunzazve mimwe mibvunzo.
41 And he said unto them—How say they, that, the Christ, is, David’s Son?
Ipapo Jesu akati kwavari, “Seiko vachiti Kristu Mwanakomana waDhavhidhi?
42 For, David himself, saith, in [the] book of Psalms: Said the Lord, unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand,
Dhavhidhi pachake anotaura mubhuku raMapisarema achiti: “‘Ishe akati kuna She wangu: Gara kuruoko rwangu rworudyi
43 Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
kusvikira ndaita vavengi vako chitsiko chetsoka dzako.’
44 David, therefore, calleth, him Lord: How, then, his son, is he?
Dhavhidhi anomuti, ‘Ishe.’ Anogova mwanakomana wake seiko?”
45 And, all the people hearing, he said unto the disciples:
Vanhu vose vachakateerera, Jesu akati kuvadzidzi vake,
46 Be taking heed of the Scribes—Who desire to walk about in long robes, and are fond of salutations in the markets, and first seats in the synagogues, and first couches in the chief meals, —
“Chenjererai vadzidzisi vomurayiro. Vanoda kufamba-famba vakapfeka nguo refu, uye vachifarira kukwaziswa pamisika, nokuva nezvigaro zvapamusoro-soro mumasinagoge uye nenzvimbo dzinokudzwa pamabiko.
47 Who devour the houses of widows, and, for a show, are a long time at prayer. These, shall receive, a heavier sentence.
Vanoparadza dzimba dzechirikadzi uye vanoita minyengetero mirefu, kuti vaonekwe. Vanhu vakadai vacharangwa zvakaomarara kwazvo.”
