Luke 14
1 And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath, that they watched him.
Zvino zvakaitika pakupinda kwake mumba meumwe wevakuru kuVaFarisi kuzodya chingwa nesabata, kuti ivo vakamucherekedza.
2 And, behold, there was a certain man before him who had the dropsy.
Zvino tarira, kwakange kune umwe munhu pamberi pake waiva nerukandwe.
3 And Jesus answering spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath?
Jesu ndokupindura akataura kunyanzvi dzemutemo neVaFarisi, achiti: Zviri pamutemo here kuporesa nesabata?
4 And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;
Asi vakanyarara. Zvino akamubata akamuporesa ndokurega achienda.
5 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have a donkey or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not immediately pull him out on the sabbath day?
Akavapindura achiti: Ndiani wenyu, ungati ane mbongoro kana nzombe ikawira mugomba, akasaisimudza pakarepo nezuva resabata?
6 And they could not answer him again to these things.
Vakasagona kumupindurazve pamusoro pezvinhu izvi.
7 And he put forth a parable to those who were invited, when he marked how they chose out the best places; saying to them,
Zvino wakataura mufananidzo kune vakakokwa, achiona kuti vanosarudza sei zvigaro zvepamusoro, akati kwavari:
8 When thou art invited by any man to a wedding, sit not down in the best place; lest a more honourable man than thou be invited by him;
Kana wakokwa neumwe munhu kumuchato, usagara pachigaro chepamusoro; zvimwe umwe anokudzwa kupfuura iwe wakokwa naye,
9 And he that invited thee and him shall come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest place.
zvino wakakukoka iwe naiye asvike ati kwauri: Dziurira uyu; ipapo uchatanga kutora nzvimbo yepasisa nenyadzi.
10 But when thou art invited, go and sit down in the lowest place; that when he that invited thee cometh, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have honour in the presence of them that sit eating with thee.
Asi kana wakokwa, enda ugare panzvimbo yepasisa, kuti kana uyo wakakukoka achisvika, angati kwauri: Shamwari, kwira kumusoro; zvino uchava nerukudzo pamberi pevagere pakudya newe.
11 For whoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
Nokuti ani nani anozvikwiridzira, achaninipiswa; neanozvininipisa achakwiridzirwa.
12 Then said he also to him that invited him, When thou givest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.
Ipapo akatiwo kune wakamukoka: Kana waita chisvusvuro kana chirairo, usadana shamwari dzako, kana vanakomana vamai vako, kana hama dzako, kana vavakidzani vafumi, zvimwe ivowo vangazokukokazve, ugoripirwa.
13 But when thou givest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
Asi kana waita mabiko, dana varombo, vanokamhina, mhetamakumbo, mapofu;
14 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
uye ucharopafadzwa, nokuti havana zvokukuripira nazvo, nokuti ucharipirwa pakumuka kwevakarurama.
15 And when one of them that sat eating with him heard these things, he said to him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
Umwe wevakange vagere naye pakudya wakati achinzwa zvinhu izvi, akati kwaari: Wakaropafadzwa uyo achadya chingwa paushe hwaMwari.
16 Then said he to him, A certain man gave a great supper, and invited many:
Asi akati kwaari: Umwe munhu wakaita chirairo chikuru, akakokera vazhinji.
17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were invited, Come; for all things are now ready.
Akatuma muranda wake nenguva yekuraira kuti ati kune vakange vakakokwa: Uyai, nokuti zvese zvagadzirwa zvino.
18 And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said to him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.
Zvino vese vakatanga umwe neumwe kuzvikumbirira ruregerero. Wekutanga akati kwaari: Ndatenga munda, ndinofanira kuenda ndinomuona; ndinokukumbira, ini undiregerere.
19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to try them out: I pray thee have me excused.
Uye umwe akati: Ndatenga zvipani zvishanu zvenzombe, ndinoenda kunodziidza; ndinokumbira, ini undiregerere.
20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
Uye umwe akati: Ndawana mukadzi, naizvozvo handigoni kuuya.
21 So that servant came, and showed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor, and the maimed, and the lame, and the blind.
Zvino muranda uyo wakauya akapira zvinhu izvi ishe wake. Ipapo mwene weimba akatsamwa, akati kumuranda wake: Buda nekukurumidza uende kumigwagwa nemunzira dzemuguta, upinze pano varombo, nevanokamhina, nemhetamakumbo, nemapofu.
22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.
Muranda ndokuti: Ishe, zvaitwa sezvamaraira, asi nzvimbo ichipo.
23 And the lord said to the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
Ishe akati kumuranda: Buda kumigwagwa nekuuzhowa, ugombedzere vapinde, kuti imba yangu izadzwe.
24 For I say to you, That none of those men who were invited shall taste my supper.
Nokuti ndinoti kwamuri: Hakuna umwe kune varume avo vakakokwa acharavira chirairo changu.
25 And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said to them,
Zvino zvaunga zvikuru zvaifamba naye; akatendeuka akati kwavari:
26 If any man cometh to me, and hateth not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
Kana ani nani achiuya kwandiri, akasavenga baba vake namai, nemukadzi, nevana, nevanin'ina nemadzikoma, nehanzvadzi, hongu, kunyange neupenyu hwake, haagoni kuva mudzidzi wangu.
27 And whoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
Zvino ani nani asingatakuri muchinjikwa wake akanditevera, haagoni kuva mudzidzi wangu.
28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he hath sufficient to finish it?
Nokuti ndiani wenyu, anoti achida kuvaka shongwe, asingatangi agara pasi, akaverenga madhuriro, kana ane zvekupedzesa?
29 Lest perhaps, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,
Kuti zvimwe ateya nheyo akasagona kupedza, vese vanoona vanotanga kumuseka,
30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
vachiti: Uyu munhu akatanga kuvaka, asi akakoniwa kupedzisa.
31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?
Kana ndeupi mambo, kana achienda kuhondo akamirisana neumwe mambo, asingatangi agara pasi, akafungisisa kuti angagona here nezvuru gumi kusangana neanouya akapikisana naye nezvuru makumi maviri?
32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth a delegation, and desireth conditions of peace.
Asi kana zvisakadaro, iye achiri kure, anotuma nhume, akumbire zverugare.
33 So likewise, whoever he is of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
Saka saizvozvo, ani nani kwamuri asingasii zvese zvaanazvo, haagoni kuva mudzidzi wangu.
34 Salt is good: but if the salt hath lost its savour, how shall it be seasoned?
Munyu wakanaka; asi kana munyu warasa kuvava, ucharungwa nei?
35 It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Hauchina kufanira kunyange pamunda, kana padutu remupfudze; vanourasira kunze. Ane nzeve dzekunzwa, ngaanzwe.
