Luke 9
1 He called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.
Zvino wakadanira pamwe vadzidzi vake gumi nevaviri, akavapa simba nechikuriri pamusoro pemadhimoni ese, nekuporesa zvirwere.
2 He sent them out to preach God’s Kingdom and to heal the sick.
Akavatuma kuparidza ushe hwaMwari nekuporesa varwere.
3 He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey—no staffs, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money. Don’t have two tunics each.
Zvino akati kwavari: Musatakura chinhu cherwendo, kana mudonzvo, kana nhava, kana chingwa, kana mari; uye musava nenguvo refu mbiri umwe neumwe.
4 Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.
Uye imba ipi neipi yamunopinda mairi, garaimo, mugobvamo.
5 As many as don’t receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.”
Uye ani nani asingakugamuchirii, kana mobuda paguta iro, zuzai kunyange guruva patsoka dzenyu, huve uchapupu hunopikisana navo.
6 They departed and went throughout the villages, preaching the Good News and healing everywhere.
Zvino vakabva vakaenda vachigura nemumisha yese, vachiparidza evhangeri, nekuporesa pese-pese.
7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him; and he was very perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,
Zvino Herodhe, umwe wevatongi vana, wakanzwa zvese zvakaitwa naye; akakanganisika, nokuti zvairehwa nevamwe kuti Johwani wakange amuka kubva kuvakafa;
8 and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.
nevamwe kuti Eria waonekwa; nevamwe kuti umwe muporofita wevekare wamuka.
9 Herod said, “I beheaded John, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” He sought to see him.
Asi Herodhe wakati: Johwani ndakagura musoro ini; asi ndiani uyu, ini wandinonzwa zvinhu zvakadai pamusoro pake? Akatsvaka kumuona.
10 The apostles, when they had returned, told him what things they had done. He took them and withdrew apart to a desert region of a city called Bethsaida.
Zvino vaapositori vakati vadzoka, vakamurondedzera zvese zvavakange vaita. Akavatora, akaenda navo vari vega kunzvimbo yerenje reguta rinonzi Bhetisaidha.
11 But the multitudes, perceiving it, followed him. He welcomed them, spoke to them of God’s Kingdom, and he cured those who needed healing.
Zvino zvaunga zvakati zvazviziva, zvikamutevera; akavagamuchira, akataura kwavari zveushe hwaMwari, akaporesa vakange vachida kuporeswa.
12 The day began to wear away; and the twelve came and said to him, “Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and farms and lodge and get food, for we are here in a deserted place.”
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 But he said to them, “You give them something to eat.” They said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we should go and buy food for all these 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 they were about five thousand men. He said to his disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”
Nokuti vaiva varume vanenge zvuru zvishanu. Akati kuvadzidzi vake: Vagarisei pasi mumapoka, rimwe nerimwe makumi mashanu.
15 They did so, and made them all sit down.
Vakaita saizvozvo, vakavagarisa vese pasi.
16 He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to the sky, he blessed them, broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.
Zvino akatora zvingwa zvishanu nehove mbiri, akatarira kumusoro kudenga, akazviropafadza, akazvimedura, ndokupa vadzidzi kuti vagadzike pamberi pechaunga.
17 They ate and were all filled. They gathered up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
Vakadya, vakaguta vese; kukanongwa zvimedu zvakasara kwavari, matengu gumi nemaviri.
18 As he was praying alone, the disciples were near him, and he asked them, “Who do the multitudes say that I am?”
Zvino zvakaitika ari ega achinyengetera, vadzidzi vakange vanaye; akavabvunza, achiti: Zvaunga zvinoti ndini ani?
19 They answered, “‘John the Baptizer,’ but others say, ‘Elijah,’ and others, that one of the old prophets has risen again.”
Ivo vakapindura vakati: Johwani Mubhabhatidzi; asi vamwe: Eria; nevamwe vakati: Umwe muporofita wevekare wamuka.
20 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”
Akati kwavari: Ko imwi munoti ndini ani? Petro akapindura akati: Kristu waMwari.
21 But he warned them and commanded them to tell this to no one,
Akavayambirisa, akaraira kuti varege kuudza munhu izvi;
22 saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.”
achiti: Mwanakomana wemunhu anofanira kutambudzika zvikuru, nekurambwa nevakuru nevapristi vakuru nevanyori, nekuurawa, nekumutswa zuva retatu.
23 He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.
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 will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake will save it.
Nokuti ani nani anoda kuponesa upenyu hwake, acharasikirwa nahwo; asi ani nani anorasikirwa neupenyu hwake nekuda kwangu, iye achahuponesa.
25 For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?
Nokuti munhu angabatsirwa nei, kana akawana nyika yese, asi iye pachake azvitadzire kana kurasikirwa?
26 For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.
Nokuti ani nani anonyara pamusoro pangu nepamashoko angu, Mwanakomana wemunhu achanyara pamusoro pake paanouya mukubwinya kwake nekwaBaba nekwevatumwa vatsvene.
27 But I tell you the truth: There are some of those who stand here who will in no way taste of death until they see God’s Kingdom.”
Asi ndinokuudzai zvechokwadi: Varipo vamwe vevamire pano vasingazoraviri rufu, kusvikira vaona ushe hwaMwari.
28 About eight days after these sayings, he took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up onto the mountain to pray.
Zvino zvakaitika mazuva anenge masere mushure memashoko awa, kuti wakatora Petro naJohwani naJakobho, akakwira mugomo kunonyengetera.
29 As he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became white and dazzling.
Zvino zvakaitika mukunyengetera kwake, chimiro chechiso chake chikashanduka, uye nguvo yake ikachena, ikapenya.
30 Behold, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah,
Zvino tarira, varume vaviri vakataura naye, vaiva Mozisi naEria.
31 who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
Vakaonekwa mukubwinya, vakataura zvekubva kwake kwaakange achinopedzisa paJerusarema.
32 Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him.
Asi Petro nevaiva naye vakange varemerwa nehope; asi vakati vapepuka, vakaona kubwinya kwake, nevarume vaviri vaiva vamire naye.
33 As they were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah,” not knowing what he said.
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 While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.
Wakati achitaura izvi, kwakauya gore rikavadzikatira; vakatya pakupinda kwavo mugore.
35 A voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!”
Zvino kwakabuda inzwi mugore, richiti: Uyu Mwanakomana wangu anodikanwa; inzwai iye.
36 When the voice came, Jesus was found alone. They were silent, and told no one in those days any of the things which 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 next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.
Zvino zvakaitika kuti nezuva raitevera, vaburuka mugomo, chaunga chikuru chikamuchingamidza.
38 Behold, a man from the crowd called out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only born child.
Zvino tarira, murume muchaunga wakadanidzira, achiti: Mudzidzisi, ndinokukumbirisai, tarirai mwanakomana wangu nokuti ndiye wakaberekwa umwe wega wangu;
39 Behold, a spirit takes him, he suddenly cries out, and it convulses him so that he foams; and it hardly departs from him, bruising him severely.
zvino tarirai, mweya unomubata, pakarepo woridza mhere, uye unomugwinhisa achipupuma furo, unorema kubva paari, asi uchimusvuura.
40 I begged your disciples to cast it out, and they couldn’t.”
Zvino ndakakumbirisa vadzidzi venyu kuti vaubudise, asi vakasagona.
41 Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”
Jesu achipindura akati: Haiwa zera risina rutendo rakatsauka, ndichava nemwi kusvikira rinhi, ndichikuitirai moyo murefu? Uisa mwanakomana wako pano.
42 While he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him violently. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, 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 They were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,
Vese ndokushamiswa zvikuru neukuru hwaMwari. Zvino vese vachakashamisika nezvese Jesu zvaakaita, akati kuvadzidzi vake:
44 “Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up into the hands of men.”
Imwi isai mashoko awa munzeve dzenyu: Nokuti Mwanakomana wemunhu achakumikidzwa mumaoko evanhu.
45 But they didn’t understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
Asi havana kuziva chirevo ichi, uye chakange chakavanzika kwavari, kuti vasachinzwisisa; vakatya kumubvunza pamusoro pechirevo ichi.
46 An argument arose among them about which of them was the greatest.
Zvino kwakamuka nharo pakati pavo, kuti ndiani angava mukurusa kwavari.
47 Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,
Asi Jesu wakati achiona kufunga kwemoyo wavo, akatora mucheche, akamuisa parutivi rwake,
48 and said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least among you all, this one will be great.”
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 John answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow with us.”
Johwani akapindura akati: Tenzi, taona umwe achibudisa madhimoni muzita renyu, tikamudzivisa, nokuti haateverani nesu.
50 Jesus said to him, “Don’t forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us.”
Asi Jesu akati kwaari: Musamudzivisa, nokuti uyo asingatipikisi, ndewedu.
51 It came to pass, when the days were near that he should be taken up, he intently set his face to go to Jerusalem
Zvino zvakaitika pakupera kwemazuva ekukwidzwa kwake, kuti iye akarinzira chiso chake kuenda kuJerusarema,
52 and sent messengers before his face. They went and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for him.
akatuma vatumwa pamberi pechiso chake; vakaenda, vakapinda mumusha weVaSamaria, kunomugadzirira.
53 They didn’t receive him, because he was traveling with his face set toward Jerusalem.
Asi havana kumugamuchira, nokuti chiso chake chaienda kuJerusarema.
54 When his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky and destroy them, just as Elijah did?”
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, “You don’t know of what kind of spirit you are.
Asi wakatendeuka akavatsiura akati: Hamuzivi kuti imwi muri vemweya wakadii.
56 For the Son of Man didn’t come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” They went to another village.
Nokuti Mwanakomana wemunhu haana kuuya kuzoparadza upenyu hwevanhu asi kuhuponesa. Ndokuenda kune umwe musha.
57 As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, “I want to follow you wherever you go, Lord.”
Zvino zvakaitika vachifamba munzira, umwe wakati kwaari: Ishe, ndichakuteverai kupi zvako kwamunoenda.
58 Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”
Jesu akati kwaari: Makava ane mwena, neshiri dzedenga matendere; asi Mwanakomana wemunhu haana paanotsamhidza musoro.
59 He said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”
Akati kune umwe: Nditevere. Asi iye akati: Ishe, nditenderei ndiende kunoviga baba vangu pakutanga.
60 But Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce God’s Kingdom.”
Asi Jesu wakati kwaari: Rega vakafa vavige vakafa vavo; asi iwe enda unoparidza ushe hwaMwari.
61 Another also said, “I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to say good-bye to those who are at my house.”
Umwezve akati: Ndichakuteverai Ishe, asi nditenderei kutanga kuti ndinovawoneka ivo vari mumba mangu.
62 But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for God’s Kingdom.”
Asi Jesu akati kwaari: Hakuna ungati kana aisa ruoko rwake pagejo, akacheukira kuzvinhu zviri shure, wakafanira ushe hwaMwari.
