Ruka 9
1 Jesu akati aunganidza vane Gumi naVaviri vake pamwe chete, akavapa simba nechikuriri kuti vadzinge madhimoni uye vaporese vakanga vane zvirwere,
He called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all the demons and to cure diseases.
2 akavatuma kuti vandoparidza umambo hwaMwari uye vandoporesa vairwara.
He sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
3 Akavarayira achiti, “Musatakura chinhu parwendo, mudonzvo, kana hombodo, kana chingwa, kana mari, kana imwe nguo.
He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey—no staff, no wallet, no bread, no money, and no extra tunic.
4 Muimba ipi neipi yamunopinda, mugaremo kusvikira mabva muguta imomo.
Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave.
5 Kana vanhu vasingakugamuchiriyi, muzunze guruva retsoka dzenyu pamunenge mabuda muguta ravo, chive chapupu pamusoro pavo.”
Wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town, shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them.”
6 Saka vakasimuka vakabuda vakaenda kumusha nomusha, vachiparidza vhangeri nokuporesa vanhu kwose kwose.
Then they departed and went through the villages, proclaiming the good news and healing everywhere.
7 Zvino Herodhi mubati akanzwa pamusoro pezvose zvakanga zvichiitika. Akakanganisika, nokuti vamwe vakanga vachiti Johani akanga amutswa kubva kuvakafa,
Now Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,
8 vamwe vachiti Eria akanga aonekwa, uyezve vamwe vachiti mumwe wavaprofita vakare akanga amuka.
and others said that Elijah had appeared, and still others that one of the prophets of long ago had risen.
9 Asi Herodhi akati, “Johani ndakamugura musoro. Zvino, ndianiko uyu wandinonzwa zvinhu zvakadai pamusoro pake?” Akaedza kuti amuone.
Herod said, “I beheaded John. Who is this about whom I hear such things?” And so he tried to see him.
10 Vapostori vakati vadzoka, vakarondedzera kuna Jesu zvavakanga vaita. Ipapo akavatora vakabva muchivande vakaenda kuguta rainzi Bhetisaidha,
When the apostles returned, they told him everything they had done. Then he took them with him, and they went away privately to a town called Bethsaida.
11 asi vazhinji vakazviziva vakamutevera. Akavagamuchira akataura kwavari nezvoumambo hwaMwari, akaporesa avo vakanga vachida kuporeswa.
But when the crowds heard about this, they followed him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and he cured those who needed healing.
12 Zuva rovira, vane Gumi Navaviri vakauya kwaari vakati, “Endesai vanhu vazhinji ava kuitira kuti vaende kumisha nokumaruwa akapoteredza kuti vandozvitsvakira zvokudya nepokurara, nokuti tiri musango muno.”
Now the day was about to come to an end, and the twelve came to him and said, “Send the crowd away that they may go into the surrounding villages and countryside to find lodging and food, because we are here in an isolated place.”
13 Akavapindura akati, “Vapei imi zvokudya.” Ivo vakati, “Tinongova nezvingwa zvishanu nehove mbiri, kunze kwokunge tandotenga zvokudya zvavanhu vazhinji vose ava.”
But he said to them, “You give them something to eat.” They said, “We have no more than five loaves of bread and two fish—unless we go and buy food for all these people.”
14 Pakanga pane varume vangasvika zviuru zvishanu. Asi iye akati kuvadzidzi vake, “Vagarisei pasi vari mumapoka avanhu vangasvika makumi mashanu paboka rimwe nerimwe.”
(There were about five thousand men.) He said to his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”
15 Vadzidzi vakaita saizvozvo, uye munhu wose akagara pasi.
So they did this, and made the people sit down.
16 Akati atora zvingwa zvishanu nehove mbiri akatarisa kudenga, akavonga ndokuzvimedura. Ipapo akazvipa kuvadzidzi kuti vaise pamberi pavanhu.
Taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, he blessed them and broke them into pieces, and he gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd.
17 Vose vakadya vakaguta, uye vadzidzi vakanonga matengu azere gumi namaviri ezvimedu zvakanga zvasara.
They all ate and were satisfied, and what was left over was picked up—twelve baskets of broken pieces.
18 Rimwe zuva Jesu akati achinyengetera ari oga uye vadzidzi vake vakanga vanaye, akavabvunza akati, “Vanhu vazhinji vanoti ndini aniko?”
It came about while Jesus was praying by himself, the disciples were with him. He questioned them, saying, “Who do the crowds say that I am?”
19 Vakapindura vakati, “Vamwe vanoti Johani Mubhabhatidzi, vamwe vachiti Eria, uye vamwezve vachiti, mumwe wavaprofita vakare akamuka kubva kuvakafa.”
They answered, “John the Baptist. But others say Elijah, and others say that one of the prophets from long ago has risen.”
20 Akati kwavari, “Asi, ko, imi munoti ndini ani?” Petro akapindura akati, “Ndimi Kristu waMwari.”
Then he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”
21 Jesu akavayambira zvikuru kuti varege kutaura izvi kuna ani zvake.
But he strongly warned them to tell this to no one,
22 Akatizve, “Mwanakomana woMunhu anofanira kutambudzika pazvinhu zvizhinji agorambwa navakuru, vaprista vakuru navadzidzisi vomurayiro, uye anofanira kuurayiwa agomuka pazuva retatu.”
saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and he will be killed and on the third day be raised.”
23 Ipapo akati kwavari vose, “Kana munhu achida kunditevera, anofanira kuzviramba atore muchinjikwa wake zuva rimwe nerimwe agonditevera.
Then he said to them all, “If anyone wants to come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.
24 Nokuti ani naani anoda kuponesa upenyu hwake acharasikirwa nahwo, asi ani naani anorasikirwa noupenyu hwake nokuda kwangu achahuponesa.
Whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.
25 Ko, munhu achabatsirwei kana akawana nyika yose, asi agorasikirwa noupenyu hwake.
What good is it for a person to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit himself?
26 Kana munhu akanyara pamusoro pangu namashoko angu, Mwanakomana woMunhu achanyarawo pamusoro pake paanouya mukubwinya nomukubwinya kwaBaba nokwavatumwa vatsvene.
Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his own glory, and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.
27 Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, kuti vamwe vamire pano havazofi vasati vaona umambo hwaMwari.”
But I say to you truly, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.”
28 Mazuva angasvika masere akati apera, shure kwokunge Jesu ataura izvozvo, akatora Petro naJohani naJakobho pamwe chete naye akakwira mugomo kundonyengetera.
Now about eight days after Jesus said these words, he took with him Peter and John and James and went up on the mountain to pray.
29 Akati achinyengetera, kuonekwa kwechiso chake kwakashanduka, nguo dzake dzikachena dzikapenya sokupenya kwemheni.
As he was praying, the form of his face was changed, and his clothes became brilliant white.
30 Varume vaviri, Mozisi naEria,
Behold, two men were talking with him, Moses and Elijah,
31 vakaonekwa vari mukubwinya, vachitaura naJesu. Vakataura pamusoro pokuzoenda kwake, kwaakanga ondozadzisa paJerusarema.
who appeared in glorious splendor. They spoke about his departure, which he was about to bring to completion in Jerusalem.
32 Petro navaaiva navo vakanga vava kubatwa nehope, asi vakati vanyatsomuka, vakaona kubwinya kwake uye varume vaviri vamire naye.
Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men who were standing with him.
33 Varume ava vakati vobva pana Jesu, Petro akati kwaari, “Tenzi, zvakanaka kuti isu tigare pano. Ngativakei matumba matatu, rimwe renyu, rimwe raMozisi uye rimwe raEria.” Akanga asingazivi zvaaireva.
As they were going away from Jesus, Peter said to him, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what he was saying.)
34 Akati achiri kutaura izvi, gore rakasvika rikavafukidza, uye vakatya pavakapinda mugore.
As he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.
35 Inzwi rakabva mugore, rikati, “Uyu ndiye Mwanakomana wangu, musanangurwa wangu; muteererei.”
A voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, the one who is chosen; listen to him.”
36 Inzwi rakati rataura izvozvo, vakaona Jesu ava oga. Vadzidzi vakanyarara, vakasaudza munhu zvavakanga vaona panguva iyoyo.
When the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. They kept silent and told no one in those days anything of what they had seen.
37 Fume mangwana, pavakaburuka mugomo, vazhinji zhinji vakasangana naye.
Now on the next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met him.
38 Mumwe murume akanga ari pakati pavanhu vazhinji akadanidzira achiti, “Mudzidzisi, ndinokukumbirai kuti muonewo mwanakomana wangu, nokuti ndiye oga mwana wangu.
Behold, a man from the crowd cried out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child.
39 Mweya wakaipa unomubata pakarepo oridza mhere; wobva womubvundisa achipupuma furo pamuromo. Haudi kumuregedza uye unomuparadza.
You see, a spirit takes control over him and he suddenly screams; it causes him to have convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It hardly ever leaves him and it bruises him badly.
40 Ndakakumbira vadzidzi venyu kuti vaudzinge, asi vakasagona.”
I begged your disciples to force it out, but they could not.”
41 Jesu akapindura akati, “Haiwa rudzi rusingatendi, rwakatsauka, ndichagara nemi kusvikira riniko ndichikuitirai mwoyo murefu? Uyai pano nomwanakomana wenyu.”
Jesus answered and said, “You unbelieving and depraved generation, how long must I be with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.”
42 Kunyange pakanga pachiuya mukomana, dhimoni rakamuwisira pasi rikamubvundisa. Asi akarayira mweya wakaipa, akaporesa mukomana ndokubva amudzosera kuna baba vake.
While the boy was coming, the demon threw him to the ground and shook him with convulsions. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
43 Uye vose vakashamiswa noukuru hwaMwari. Vanhu vose pavakanga vachakashamiswa nezvose zvakanga zvaitwa naJesu, akati kuvadzidzi vake,
Then they were all amazed at the greatness of God. While they all were marveling at everything he was doing, he said to his disciples,
44 “Teereresai kune zvandiri kuda kukutaurirai: Mwanakomana woMunhu ava kuzopandukirwa agoiswa mumaoko avanhu.”
“Let these words go deeply into your ears: The Son of Man will be betrayed into the hands of men.”
45 Asi havana kunzwisisa kuti zvairevei. Zvakanga zvakavanzika kwavari, naizvozvo havana kuzvibata, uye vakanga vachitya kumubvunza pamusoro pazvo.
But they did not understand this statement. It was hidden from them, so they could not know its meaning, and yet they were afraid to ask about this statement.
46 Nharo dzakatanga pakati pavadzidzi dzokuti mukuru ndiani.
Then an argument started among them about which of them would be the greatest.
47 Jesu, achiziva kufunga kwavo, akatora mwana muduku ndokumumisa parutivi rwake.
But Jesus, knowing the reasoning in their hearts, took a little child and put him by his side
48 Ipapo akati kwavari, “Ani naani anogamuchira mwana muduku uyu muzita rangu anondigamuchira; uye ani naani anondigamuchira, anogamuchira uyo akandituma. Nokuti muduku pakati penyu mose ndiye mukuru.”
and said to them, “Whoever welcomes this child in my name, welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me, welcomes the one who sent me. For whoever is least among you all is the one who is great.”
49 Johani akati, “Tenzi, takaona mumwe murume achidzinga madhimoni muzita renyu uye tikaedza kumudzivisa, nokuti haazi mumwe wedu.”
John answered, “Master, we saw someone forcing out demons in your name and we prevented him, because he does not follow along with us.”
50 Jesu akati, “Musamudzivisa, nokuti ani naani asingapesani nemi ndowenyu.”
“Do not stop him,” Jesus said, “because whoever is not against you is for you.”
51 Nguva yakati yasvika yokuti akwidzwe kudenga, Jesu akafunga zvokuenda kuJerusarema.
When the days drew near for him to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem.
52 Uye akatuma nhume pamberi pake, dzikapinda mumusha weSamaria kundofanomugadzirira zvinhu;
He sent messengers on ahead of him, and they went and entered into a Samaritan village to prepare everything for him.
53 asi vanhu voko havana kumugamuchira, nokuti akanga ava kuenda kuJerusarema.
But the people there did not welcome him, because he had set his face to go to Jerusalem.
54 Vadzidzi Jakobho naJohani vakati vaona izvi, vakabvunza vakati, “Ishe, munoda here kuti tidane moto uburuke kubva kudenga kuti uvaparadze?”
When the disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from heaven and destroy them?”
55 Asi Jesu akatendeuka akavatsiura,
But he turned and rebuked them,
56 uye akabva akaenda kuno mumwe musha.
and they went on to another village.
57 Vakati vachifamba mumugwagwa, mumwe murume akati, “Ndichakuteverai kwose kwamunoenda.”
As they were going along the road, someone said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.”
58 Jesu akapindura akati, “Makava ane mwena yawo uye shiri dzedenga dzine matendere adzo, asi Mwanakomana woMunhu haana paangatsamidza musoro wake.”
Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds in the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.”
59 Akati kuno mumwe murume, “Nditevere.” Asi murume uyu akapindura akati, “Ishe, nditenderei kuti ndinoviga baba vangu.”
Then he said to another, “Follow me.” But he said, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
60 Jesu akati kwaari, “Rega vakafa vavige vakafa vavo, asi iwe enda undoparidza umambo hwaMwari.”
But he said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead. But as for you, go and proclaim far and wide the kingdom of God.”
61 Mumwezve akati, “Ndichakuteverai, Ishe; asi kutanga regai ndimbondoonekana nemhuri yangu.”
Then someone else said, “I will follow you, Lord, but first let me say goodbye to those in my home.”
62 Jesu akapindura akati, “Hakuna munhu anoti kana akaisa ruoko rwake pagejo akacheuka angafanirwa nokushumira muumambo hwaMwari.”
Jesus replied to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”
