Ruka 10
1 Shure kwezvinhu izvi, Ishe akagadza vamwe makumi manomwewo, akavatuma vaviri vaviri pamberi pechiso chake muguta rimwe nerimwe nenzvimbo imwe neimwe iye kwaakange achizoenda.
Then, after these things, the Lord also designated another seventy-two. And he sent them in pairs before his face, into every city and place where he was to arrive.
2 Naizvozvo wakati kwavari: Goho zvirokwazvo iguru, asi vashandi vashoma. Naizvozvo kumbirai Ishe wegoho kuti abudisire vashandi pagoho rake.
And he said to them: “Certainly the harvest is great, but the workers are few. Therefore, ask the Lord of the harvest to send workers into his harvest.
3 Endai; tarirai, ini ndinokutumai semakwayana pakati pemapumhi.
Go forth. Behold, I send you out like lambs among wolves.
4 Musatakura chikwama, kana nhava, kana manyatera; uye musakwazisa munhu panzira.
Do not choose to carry a purse, nor provisions, nor shoes; and you shall greet no one along the way.
5 Zvino paimba ipi neipi yamunopinda, tangai kuti: Rugare kuimba ino.
Into whatever house you will have entered, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’
6 Uye kana mwanakomana werugare ari ipapo, rugare rwenyu ruchazorora pamusoro payo; kana zvisakadaro, ruchadzokera kwamuri.
And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him. But if not, it will return to you.
7 Garai muimba iyo, muchidya nekunwa zvinobva kwavari; nokuti mushandi wakafanirwa nemubairo wake; musapota-pota nedzimba.
And remain in the same house, eating and drinking the things that are with them. For the worker is worthy of his pay. Do not choose to pass from house to house.
8 Muguta ripi neripi mamunopinda vakakugamuchirai, idyai zvinoiswa mberi kwenyu,
And into whatever city you have entered and they have received you, eat what they set before you.
9 muporese varwere varimo, muchiti kwavari: Ushe hwaMwari hwaswedera kwamuri.
And cure the sick who are in that place, and proclaim to them, ‘The kingdom of God has drawn near to you.’
10 Asi muguta ripi neripi ramunopinda, vakasakugamuchirayi, budirai munzira dzaro, muti:
But into whatever city you have entered and they have not received you, going out into its main streets, say:
11 Kunyange guruva reguta renyu rakatinamatira, tinorikuhumurira kwamuri; asi muzive chinhu ichi, kuti ushe hwaMwari hwaswedera kwamuri.
‘Even the dust which clings to us from your city, we wipe away against you. Yet know this: the kingdom of God has drawn near.’
12 Asi ndinoti kwamuri: Zvichava nani kuSodhoma nezuva iro, kupfuura guta iro.
I say to you, that in that day, Sodom will be forgiven more than that city will be.
13 Une nhamo, Korazini! Une nhamo, Bhetisaidha! Nokuti dai akaitwa muTire neSidhoni mabasa esimba akaitwa mamuri, vangadai vatendeuka kare, vakagara vakapfeka masaga nedota.
Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that have been wrought in you, had been wrought in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in haircloth and ashes.
14 Asi zvichava nani kuTire neSidhoni pakutongwa, kupfuura imwi.
Yet truly, Tyre and Sidon will be forgiven more in the judgment than you will be.
And as for you, Capernaum, who would be exalted even up to Heaven: you shall be submerged into Hell. (Hadēs g86)
16 Anokunzwai imwi anondinzwa ini; neanokurambai imwi anondiramba ini; neanondiramba ini anomuramba wakandituma.
Whoever hears you, hears me. And whoever despises you, despises me. And whoever despises me, despises him who sent me.”
17 Vanemakumi manomwe vakadzoka nemufaro, vachiti: Ishe, nemadhimoni anozviisa pasi pedu muzita renyu.
Then the seventy-two returned with gladness, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us, in your name.”
18 Zvino akati kwavari: Ndakaona Satani semheni achiwa achibva kudenga.
And he said to them: “I was watching as Satan fell like lightning from heaven.
19 Tarirai, ndinopa kwamuri simba rekutsika pamusoro penyoka nezvinyavada, nepamusoro pesimba rese remuvengi; hakuna chinhu chingatongokukuvadzai.
Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and upon all the powers of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.
20 Asi musafara nechinhu ichi kuti mweya inozviisa pasi penyu; asi zvikuru mufare kuti mazita enyu akanyorwa kumatenga.
Yet truly, do not choose to rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
21 Neawa iro Jesu wakafara mumweya, akati: Ndinokuvongai, Baba, Ishe wekudenga nenyika, kuti makavanza zvinhu izvi kune vakachenjera nevanonzwisisa, mukazvizarurira vacheche; hongu, Baba, nokuti saizvozvo zvakava zvakanaka pamberi penyu.
In the same hour, he exulted in the Holy Spirit, and he said: “I confess to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the prudent, and have revealed them to little ones. It is so, Father, because this way was pleasing before you.
22 Zvese zvakakumikidzwa kwandiri naBaba vangu; uye hakuna anoziva kuti Mwanakomana ndiani, kunze kwaBaba, uye kuti Baba ndiani, kunze kweMwanakomana, uye ani nani Mwanakomana waanoda kuzarurira.
All things have been delivered to me by my Father. And no one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and those to whom the Son has chosen to reveal him.”
23 Zvino akatendeukira kuvadzidzi vari vega akati: Akaropafadzwa meso anoona zvamunoona.
And turning to his disciples, he said: “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see.
24 Nokuti ndinoti kwamuri: Vaporofita vazhinji nemadzimambo vaishuva kuona zvinhu zvamunoona imwi, asi havana kuzviona, nekunzwa zvinhu zvamunonzwa, asi havana kuzvinzwa.
For I say to you, that many prophets and kings wanted to see the things that you see, and they did not see them, and to hear the things that you hear, and they did not hear them.”
25 Zvino tarira, imwe nyanzvi yemutemo yakasimuka, ichimuidza, ichiti: Mudzidzisi, ndingaitei kuti ndigare nhaka yeupenyu husingaperi? (aiōnios g166)
And behold, a certain expert in the law rose up, testing him and saying, “Teacher, what must I do to possess eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
26 Ndokuti kwaari: Pamurairo pakanyorwei? Unoverenga sei?
But he said to him: “What is written in the law? How do you read it?”
27 Uye achipindura, akati: Ude Ishe Mwari wako, nemoyo wako wese, uye nemweya wako wese, uye nesimba rako rese, uye nefungwa dzako dzese; neumwe wako sezvaunozvida iwe.
In response, he said: “You shall love the Lord your God from your whole heart, and from your whole soul, and from all your strength, and from all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.”
28 Akati kwaari: Wapindura zvakarurama; ita izvi, ugorarama.
And he said to him: “You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live.”
29 Iye, achida kuzviruramisa, wakati kuna Jesu: Zvino ndiani umwe wangu?
But since he wanted to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30 Jesu akapindura akati: Umwe munhu wakaburuka kubva kuJerusarema achienda kuJeriko; akawira pakati pemakororo, akamukururawo akamupa mavanga akaenda, ndokusiya oda kufa.
Then Jesus, taking this up, said: “A certain man descended from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he happened upon robbers, who now also plundered him. And inflicting him with wounds, they went away, leaving him behind, half-alive.
31 Zvakangoitikawo kuti umwe mupristi wakange achiburuka nenzira iyo; akati achimuona, akapfuura neparutivi rwakapesa.
And it happened that a certain priest was descending along the same way. And seeing him, he passed by.
32 Saizvozvowo muRevhi asvika panzvimbo iyo, akamuona, akapfuura neparutivi rwakapesa.
And similarly a Levite, when he was near the place, also saw him, and he passed by.
33 Zvino umwe muSamaria, wakange achifamba wakasvika paaiva, akati achimuona akanzwa tsitsi,
But a certain Samaritan, being on a journey, came near him. And seeing him, he was moved by mercy.
34 akaswedera ndokupomba mavanga ake, achidira mafuta newaini; akamugadza pachipfuwo chake pachake, ndokumuisa kuimba yevafambi, ndokumuchengeta.
And approaching him, he bound up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them. And setting him on his pack animal, he brought him to an inn, and he took care of him.
35 Zvino pamangwana oenda, wakabudisa madhenario maviri akapa kumwene weimba, akati kwaari: Muchengete; uye zvese zvaunoshandisa kupfuura izvi, ini ndichakupazve, kana ndichidzoka.
And the next day, he took out two denarii, and he gave them to the proprietor, and he said: ‘Take care of him. And whatever extra you will have spent, I will repay to you at my return.’
36 Naizvozvo ndeupi wevatatu ava waunofunga kuti waiva umwe waiye wakawira pakati pemakororo?
Which of these three, does it seem to you, was a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?”
37 Akati: Ndiye wakamuitira tsitsi. Ipapo Jesu akati kwaari: Enda, newe unoita saizvozvo.
Then he said, “The one who acted with mercy toward him.” And Jesus said to him, “Go, and act similarly.”
38 Zvino zvakaitika pakufamba kwavo, kuti iye wakapinda mune umwe musha; umwe mukadzi wainzi Marita akamugamuchira mumba make.
Now it happened that, while they were traveling, he entered into a certain town. And a certain woman, named Martha, received him into her home.
39 Uye iye wakange ane munin'inawo wainzi Maria, wakagarawo pamakumbo aJesu, akanzwa shoko rake.
And she had a sister, named Mary, who, while sitting beside the Lord’s feet, was listening to his word.
40 Asi Marita wakange akabatikana kwazvo nekushanda kukuru, akaswedera akati: Ishe, hamuna hanya here nokuti munin'ina wangu wandisiya ndega ndichishanda? Naizvozvo muudzei kuti andibatsire.
Now Martha was continually busying herself with serving. And she stood still and said: “Lord, is it not a concern to you that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore, speak to her, so that she may help me.”
41 Jesu akapindura akati kwaari: Marita, Marita, unozvidya moyo nekutambudzika nezvinhu zvizhinji;
And the Lord responded by saying to her: “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled over many things.
42 asi chinhu chimwe chinodikanwa; asi Maria wasanangura mugove wakanaka, waasingazotorerwi.
And yet only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the best portion, and it shall not be taken away from her.”
