Luke 9
1 Then calling the Twelve together He conferred on them power and authority over all the demons and to cure diseases;
Zvino wakadanira pamwe vadzidzi vake gumi nevaviri, akavapa simba nechikuriri pamusoro pemadhimoni ese, nekuporesa zvirwere.
2 and sent them out to proclaim the Kingdom of God and to cure the sick.
Akavatuma kuparidza ushe hwaMwari nekuporesa varwere.
3 And He commanded them, "Take nothing for your journey; neither stick nor bag nor bread nor money; and do not have an extra under garment.
Zvino akati kwavari: Musatakura chinhu cherwendo, kana mudonzvo, kana nhava, kana chingwa, kana mari; uye musava nenguvo refu mbiri umwe neumwe.
4 Whatever house you enter, make that your home, and from it start afresh.
Uye imba ipi neipi yamunopinda mairi, garaimo, mugobvamo.
5 Wherever they refuse to receive you, as you leave that town shake off the very dust from your feet as a protest against them."
Uye ani nani asingakugamuchirii, kana mobuda paguta iro, zuzai kunyange guruva patsoka dzenyu, huve uchapupu hunopikisana navo.
6 So they departed and visited village after village, spreading the Good News and performing cures everywhere.
Zvino vakabva vakaenda vachigura nemumisha yese, vachiparidza evhangeri, nekuporesa pese-pese.
7 Now Herod the Tetrarch heard of all that was going on; and he was bewildered because of its being said by some that John had come back to life,
Zvino Herodhe, umwe wevatongi vana, wakanzwa zvese zvakaitwa naye; akakanganisika, nokuti zvairehwa nevamwe kuti Johwani wakange amuka kubva kuvakafa;
8 by others that Elijah had appeared, and by others that some one of the ancient Prophets had come back to life.
nevamwe kuti Eria waonekwa; nevamwe kuti umwe muporofita wevekare wamuka.
9 And Herod said, "John I have beheaded; but who is this, of whom I hear such reports?" And he sought for an opportunity of seeing Jesus.
Asi Herodhe wakati: Johwani ndakagura musoro ini; asi ndiani uyu, ini wandinonzwa zvinhu zvakadai pamusoro pake? Akatsvaka kumuona.
10 The Apostles, on their return, related to Jesus all they had done. Then He took them and withdrew to a quiet retreat, to a town called Bethsaida.
Zvino vaapositori vakati vadzoka, vakamurondedzera zvese zvavakange vaita. Akavatora, akaenda navo vari vega kunzvimbo yerenje reguta rinonzi Bhetisaidha.
11 But the immense crowd, aware of this, followed Him; and receiving them kindly He proceeded to speak to them of the Kingdom of God, and those who needed to be restored to health, He cured.
Zvino zvaunga zvakati zvazviziva, zvikamutevera; akavagamuchira, akataura kwavari zveushe hwaMwari, akaporesa vakange vachida kuporeswa.
12 Now when the day began to decline, the Twelve came to Him and said, "Send the people away, that they may go to the villages and farms round about and find lodging and a supply of food; because here we are in an uninhabited district."
Zuva raiva rotanga kuvira; vanegumi nevaviri vakaswedera vakati kwaari: Regai chaunga chiende, kuti vaende kumisha nekuruwa rwakapoteredza, vagare, vawane kudya; nokuti pano patiri panzvimbo yerenje.
13 "You yourselves," He said, "must give them food." "We have nothing," they replied, "but five loaves and a couple of fish, unless indeed we were to go and buy provisions for all this host of people."
Asi wakati kwavari: Vapei imwi ivo kuti vadye. Vakati: Hatina zvinopfuura zvingwa zvishanu, nehove mbiri, kunze kwekuti isu taenda kunotengera vanhu ava vese kudya.
14 (For there were about 5,000 adult men.) But He said to His disciples, "Make them sit down in parties of about fifty each."
Nokuti vaiva varume vanenge zvuru zvishanu. Akati kuvadzidzi vake: Vagarisei pasi mumapoka, rimwe nerimwe makumi mashanu.
15 They did so, making them all, without exception, sit down.
Vakaita saizvozvo, vakavagarisa vese pasi.
16 Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to Heaven He blessed them and broke them into portions which He gave to the disciples to distribute to the people.
Zvino akatora zvingwa zvishanu nehove mbiri, akatarira kumusoro kudenga, akazviropafadza, akazvimedura, ndokupa vadzidzi kuti vagadzike pamberi pechaunga.
17 So they ate and were fully satisfied, all of them; and what they had remaining over was gathered up, twelve baskets of fragments.
Vakadya, vakaguta vese; kukanongwa zvimedu zvakasara kwavari, matengu gumi nemaviri.
18 One day when He was praying by Himself the disciples were present; and He asked them, "Who do the people say that I am?"
Zvino zvakaitika ari ega achinyengetera, vadzidzi vakange vanaye; akavabvunza, achiti: Zvaunga zvinoti ndini ani?
19 "John the Baptist," they replied; "but others say Elijah; and others that some one of the ancient Prophets has come back to life."
Ivo vakapindura vakati: Johwani Mubhabhatidzi; asi vamwe: Eria; nevamwe vakati: Umwe muporofita wevekare wamuka.
20 "But you," He asked, "who do you say that I am?" "God's Anointed One," replied Peter.
Akati kwavari: Ko imwi munoti ndini ani? Petro akapindura akati: Kristu waMwari.
21 And Jesus strictly forbad them to tell this to any one;
Akavayambirisa, akaraira kuti varege kuudza munhu izvi;
22 and He said, "The Son of Man must suffer much cruelty, be rejected by the Elders and High Priests and Scribes, and be put to death, and on the third day be raised to life again."
achiti: Mwanakomana wemunhu anofanira kutambudzika zvikuru, nekurambwa nevakuru nevapristi vakuru nevanyori, nekuurawa, nekumutswa zuva retatu.
23 And He said to all, "If any one is desirous of following me, let him ignore self and take up his cross day by day, and so be my follower.
Zvino wakati kune vese: Kana munhu achida kuuya shure kwangu, ngaazvirambe, atakure muchinjikwa wake zuva rimwe nerimwe, anditevere.
24 For whoever desires to save his life shall lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake shall save it.
Nokuti ani nani anoda kuponesa upenyu hwake, acharasikirwa nahwo; asi ani nani anorasikirwa neupenyu hwake nekuda kwangu, iye achahuponesa.
25 Why, what benefit is it to a man to have gained the whole world, but to have lost or forfeited his own self.
Nokuti munhu angabatsirwa nei, kana akawana nyika yese, asi iye pachake azvitadzire kana kurasikirwa?
26 For whoever shall have been ashamed of me and my teachings, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own and the Father's glory and in that of the holy angels.
Nokuti ani nani anonyara pamusoro pangu nepamashoko angu, Mwanakomana wemunhu achanyara pamusoro pake paanouya mukubwinya kwake nekwaBaba nekwevatumwa vatsvene.
27 I tell you truly that there are some of those who stand here who will certainly not taste death till they have seen the Kingdom of God."
Asi ndinokuudzai zvechokwadi: Varipo vamwe vevamire pano vasingazoraviri rufu, kusvikira vaona ushe hwaMwari.
28 It was about eight days after this that Jesus, taking with Him Peter, John, and James, went up the mountain to pray.
Zvino zvakaitika mazuva anenge masere mushure memashoko awa, kuti wakatora Petro naJohwani naJakobho, akakwira mugomo kunonyengetera.
29 And while He was praying the appearance of His face underwent a change, and His clothing became white and radiant.
Zvino zvakaitika mukunyengetera kwake, chimiro chechiso chake chikashanduka, uye nguvo yake ikachena, ikapenya.
30 And suddenly there were two men conversing with Him, who were Moses and Elijah.
Zvino tarira, varume vaviri vakataura naye, vaiva Mozisi naEria.
31 They came in glory, and kept speaking about His death, which He was so soon to undergo in Jerusalem.
Vakaonekwa mukubwinya, vakataura zvekubva kwake kwaakange achinopedzisa paJerusarema.
32 Now Peter and the others were weighed down with sleep; but, keeping themselves awake all through, they saw His glory, and the two men standing with Him.
Asi Petro nevaiva naye vakange varemerwa nehope; asi vakati vapepuka, vakaona kubwinya kwake, nevarume vaviri vaiva vamire naye.
33 And when they were preparing to depart from Him, Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, we are thankful to you that we are here. Let us put up three tents--one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." He did not know what he was saying.
Zvino zvakaitika pakubva kwavo paari, Petro akati kuna Jesu: Tenzi, zvakanaka kuti tive pano; zvino ngatiite matende matatu, rimwe renyu, nerimwe raMozisi, nerimwe raEria, asingazivi zvaanoreva.
34 But while he was thus speaking, there came a cloud which spread over them; and they were awe-struck when they had entered into the cloud.
Wakati achitaura izvi, kwakauya gore rikavadzikatira; vakatya pakupinda kwavo mugore.
35 Then there came a voice from within the cloud: "This is My Son, My Chosen One: listen to Him."
Zvino kwakabuda inzwi mugore, richiti: Uyu Mwanakomana wangu anodikanwa; inzwai iye.
36 After this voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. They kept it to themselves, and said not a word to any one at that time about what they had seen.
Zvino inzwi rakati raitika, Jesu akawanikwa ari ega. Asi ivo vakanyarara, vakasaudza munhu mumazuva iwayo chimwe chezvinhu zvavakange vaona.
37 On the following day, when they were come down from the mountain, a great crowd came to meet Him;
Zvino zvakaitika kuti nezuva raitevera, vaburuka mugomo, chaunga chikuru chikamuchingamidza.
38 and a man from the crowd called out, "Rabbi, I beg you to pity my son, for he is my only child.
Zvino tarira, murume muchaunga wakadanidzira, achiti: Mudzidzisi, ndinokukumbirisai, tarirai mwanakomana wangu nokuti ndiye wakaberekwa umwe wega wangu;
39 At times a spirit seizes him and he suddenly cries out. It convulses him, and makes him foam at the mouth, and does not leave him till it has well-nigh covered him with bruises.
zvino tarirai, mweya unomubata, pakarepo woridza mhere, uye unomugwinhisa achipupuma furo, unorema kubva paari, asi uchimusvuura.
40 I entreated your disciples to expel the spirit, but they could not."
Zvino ndakakumbirisa vadzidzi venyu kuti vaubudise, asi vakasagona.
41 "O unbelieving and perverse generation!" replied Jesus; "how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here to me."
Jesu achipindura akati: Haiwa zera risina rutendo rakatsauka, ndichava nemwi kusvikira rinhi, ndichikuitirai moyo murefu? Uisa mwanakomana wako pano.
42 Now while the youth was coming, the spirit dashed him to the ground and cruelly convulsed him. But Jesus rebuked the foul spirit, and cured the youth and gave him back to his father.
Zvino wakati achaswedera, dhimoni rikamudambura, rikamugwinhisa zvikuru; asi Jesu akatsiura mweya wetsvina, akaporesa mwana, akamudzosera kuna baba vake.
43 And all were awe-struck at the mighty power of God. And while every one was expressing wonder at all that He was doing, He said to his disciples,
Vese ndokushamiswa zvikuru neukuru hwaMwari. Zvino vese vachakashamisika nezvese Jesu zvaakaita, akati kuvadzidzi vake:
44 "As for you, store these my sayings in your memory; for, before long, the Son of Man will be betrayed into the hands of men."
Imwi isai mashoko awa munzeve dzenyu: Nokuti Mwanakomana wemunhu achakumikidzwa mumaoko evanhu.
45 But they did not understand His meaning: it was veiled from them that they might not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.
Asi havana kuziva chirevo ichi, uye chakange chakavanzika kwavari, kuti vasachinzwisisa; vakatya kumubvunza pamusoro pechirevo ichi.
46 Now there arose a dispute among them, which of them was to be the greatest.
Zvino kwakamuka nharo pakati pavo, kuti ndiani angava mukurusa kwavari.
47 And Jesus, knowing the reasoning that was in their hearts, took a young child and made him stand by His side
Asi Jesu wakati achiona kufunga kwemoyo wavo, akatora mucheche, akamuisa parutivi rwake,
48 and said to them, "Whoever for my sake receives this little child, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives Him who sent me. For the lowliest among you all--he is the greatest."
akati kwavari: Ani nani anogamuchira mucheche uyu muzita rangu, anogamuchira ini, uye ani nani anogamuchira ini anogamuchira wakandituma; nokuti mudikisa pakati penyu mese, ndiye achava mukuru.
49 "Rabbi," replied John, "we have seen a man making use of your name to expel demons; and we forbad him, because he does not come with us."
Johwani akapindura akati: Tenzi, taona umwe achibudisa madhimoni muzita renyu, tikamudzivisa, nokuti haateverani nesu.
50 "Do not forbid him," said Jesus, "for he who is not against you is on your side."
Asi Jesu akati kwaari: Musamudzivisa, nokuti uyo asingatipikisi, ndewedu.
51 Now when the time drew near for Him to be received up again into Heaven, He proceeded with fixed purpose towards Jerusalem, and sent messengers before Him.
Zvino zvakaitika pakupera kwemazuva ekukwidzwa kwake, kuti iye akarinzira chiso chake kuenda kuJerusarema,
52 They went and entered a village of the Samaritans to make ready for Him.
akatuma vatumwa pamberi pechiso chake; vakaenda, vakapinda mumusha weVaSamaria, kunomugadzirira.
53 But the people there would not receive Him, because He was evidently going to Jerusalem.
Asi havana kumugamuchira, nokuti chiso chake chaienda kuJerusarema.
54 When the disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Master, do you wish us to order fire to come down from Heaven and consume them?"
Zvino vadzidzi vake, Jakobho naJohwani, vakati vachizviona vakati: Ishe, munoda kuti tiraire moto uburuke kubva kudenga, uvapedze, Eria sezvaakaitawo here?
55 But He turned and rebuked them.
Asi wakatendeuka akavatsiura akati: Hamuzivi kuti imwi muri vemweya wakadii.
56 And they went to another village.
Nokuti Mwanakomana wemunhu haana kuuya kuzoparadza upenyu hwevanhu asi kuhuponesa. Ndokuenda kune umwe musha.
57 And, as they proceeded on their way, a man came to Him and said, "I will follow you wherever you go."
Zvino zvakaitika vachifamba munzira, umwe wakati kwaari: Ishe, ndichakuteverai kupi zvako kwamunoenda.
58 "The foxes have holes," said Jesus, "and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head."
Jesu akati kwaari: Makava ane mwena, neshiri dzedenga matendere; asi Mwanakomana wemunhu haana paanotsamhidza musoro.
59 "Follow me," He said to another. "Master," the man replied, "allow me first to go and bury my father."
Akati kune umwe: Nditevere. Asi iye akati: Ishe, nditenderei ndiende kunoviga baba vangu pakutanga.
60 "Leave the dead," Jesus rejoined, "to bury their own dead; but you must go and announce far and wide the coming of the Kingdom of God."
Asi Jesu wakati kwaari: Rega vakafa vavige vakafa vavo; asi iwe enda unoparidza ushe hwaMwari.
61 "Master," said yet another, "I will follow you; but allow me first to go and say good-bye to my friends at home."
Umwezve akati: Ndichakuteverai Ishe, asi nditenderei kutanga kuti ndinovawoneka ivo vari mumba mangu.
62 Jesus answered him, "No one who has put his hand to the plough, and then looks behind him, is fit for the Kingdom of God.
Asi Jesu akati kwaari: Hakuna ungati kana aisa ruoko rwake pagejo, akacheukira kuzvinhu zviri shure, wakafanira ushe hwaMwari.
