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.
Now after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two ahead of him into every city and place where he was about to come.
2 Naizvozvo wakati kwavari: Goho zvirokwazvo iguru, asi vashandi vashoma. Naizvozvo kumbirai Ishe wegoho kuti abudisire vashandi pagoho rake.
Then he said to them, “The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that he may send out laborers into his harvest.
3 Endai; tarirai, ini ndinokutumai semakwayana pakati pemapumhi.
Go your ways. Behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.
4 Musatakura chikwama, kana nhava, kana manyatera; uye musakwazisa munhu panzira.
Carry no purse, nor wallet, nor sandals. Greet no one on the way.
5 Zvino paimba ipi neipi yamunopinda, tangai kuti: Rugare kuimba ino.
Into whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house.’
6 Uye kana mwanakomana werugare ari ipapo, rugare rwenyu ruchazorora pamusoro payo; kana zvisakadaro, ruchadzokera kwamuri.
If a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on 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.
Remain in that same house, eating and drinking the things they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Don’t go from house to house.
8 Muguta ripi neripi mamunopinda vakakugamuchirai, idyai zvinoiswa mberi kwenyu,
Into whatever city you enter and they receive you, eat the things that are set before you.
9 muporese varwere varimo, muchiti kwavari: Ushe hwaMwari hwaswedera kwamuri.
Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘God’s Kingdom has come near to you.’
10 Asi muguta ripi neripi ramunopinda, vakasakugamuchirayi, budirai munzira dzaro, muti:
But into whatever city you enter and they don’t receive you, go out into its streets and say,
11 Kunyange guruva reguta renyu rakatinamatira, tinorikuhumurira kwamuri; asi muzive chinhu ichi, kuti ushe hwaMwari hwaswedera kwamuri.
‘Even the dust from your city that clings to us, we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that God’s Kingdom has come near to you.’
12 Asi ndinoti kwamuri: Zvichava nani kuSodhoma nezuva iro, kupfuura guta iro.
I tell you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.
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 mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14 Asi zvichava nani kuTire neSidhoni pakutongwa, kupfuura imwi.
But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you.
You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades. (Hadēs g86)
16 Anokunzwai imwi anondinzwa ini; neanokurambai imwi anondiramba ini; neanondiramba ini anomuramba wakandituma.
Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me. Whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.”
17 Vanemakumi manomwe vakadzoka nemufaro, vachiti: Ishe, nemadhimoni anozviisa pasi pedu muzita renyu.
The seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!”
18 Zvino akati kwavari: Ndakaona Satani semheni achiwa achibva kudenga.
He said to them, “I saw Satan having fallen like lightning from heaven.
19 Tarirai, ndinopa kwamuri simba rekutsika pamusoro penyoka nezvinyavada, nepamusoro pesimba rese remuvengi; hakuna chinhu chingatongokukuvadzai.
Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in any way hurt you.
20 Asi musafara nechinhu ichi kuti mweya inozviisa pasi penyu; asi zvikuru mufare kuti mazita enyu akanyorwa kumatenga.
Nevertheless, don’t 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 that same hour, Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, “I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.”
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.
Turning to the disciples, he said, “All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son desires to reveal him.”
23 Zvino akatendeukira kuvadzidzi vari vega akati: Akaropafadzwa meso anoona zvamunoona.
Turning to the disciples, he said privately, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things that 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 tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which you see, and didn’t see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and didn’t hear them.”
25 Zvino tarira, imwe nyanzvi yemutemo yakasimuka, ichimuidza, ichiti: Mudzidzisi, ndingaitei kuti ndigare nhaka yeupenyu husingaperi? (aiōnios g166)
Behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested him, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
26 Ndokuti kwaari: Pamurairo pakanyorwei? Unoverenga sei?
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.
He answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.”
28 Akati kwaari: Wapindura zvakarurama; ita izvi, ugorarama.
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 he, desiring to justify himself, asked Jesus, “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.
Jesus answered, “A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
31 Zvakangoitikawo kuti umwe mupristi wakange achiburuka nenzira iyo; akati achimuona, akapfuura neparutivi rwakapesa.
By chance a certain priest was going down that way. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 Saizvozvowo muRevhi asvika panzvimbo iyo, akamuona, akapfuura neparutivi rwakapesa.
In the same way a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.
33 Zvino umwe muSamaria, wakange achifamba wakasvika paaiva, akati achimuona akanzwa tsitsi,
But a certain Samaritan, as he traveled, came where he was. When he saw him, he was moved with compassion,
34 akaswedera ndokupomba mavanga ake, achidira mafuta newaini; akamugadza pachipfuwo chake pachake, ndokumuisa kuimba yevafambi, ndokumuchengeta.
came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. He set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and 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.
On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, gave them to the host, and said to him, ‘Take care of him. Whatever you spend beyond that, I will repay you when I return.’
36 Naizvozvo ndeupi wevatatu ava waunofunga kuti waiva umwe waiye wakawira pakati pemakororo?
Now which of these three do you think seemed to be a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?”
37 Akati: Ndiye wakamuitira tsitsi. Ipapo Jesu akati kwaari: Enda, newe unoita saizvozvo.
He said, “He who showed mercy on him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”
38 Zvino zvakaitika pakufamba kwavo, kuti iye wakapinda mune umwe musha; umwe mukadzi wainzi Marita akamugamuchira mumba make.
As they went on their way, he entered into a certain village, and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.
39 Uye iye wakange ane munin'inawo wainzi Maria, wakagarawo pamakumbo aJesu, akanzwa shoko rake.
She had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard 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.
But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she came up to him, and said, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister left me to serve alone? Ask her therefore to help me.”
41 Jesu akapindura akati kwaari: Marita, Marita, unozvidya moyo nekutambudzika nezvinhu zvizhinji;
Jesus answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things,
42 asi chinhu chimwe chinodikanwa; asi Maria wasanangura mugove wakanaka, waasingazotorerwi.
but one thing is needed. Mary has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her.”
