Ruka 19
1 Zvino Jesu wakapinda, akagura muJeriko.
Now when Iesus entred and passed through Iericho,
2 Zvino tarira, murume wainzi Zakewu nezita; iye wakange ari mutungamiriri wevateresi, uye iye waiva mufumi;
Beholde, there was a man named Zaccheus, which was the chiefe receiuer of the tribute, and he was riche.
3 uye wakatsvaka kuona Jesu kuti ndiani; asi wakange asingagoni nekuda kwechaunga, nokuti wakange ane chimiro chifupi.
And he sought to see Iesus, who hee should be, and coulde not for the preasse, because he was of a lowe stature.
4 Zvino wakamhanyira mberi, akakwira mumuonde wemusikamori kuti amuone; nokuti wakange achizopfuura nenzira iyo.
Wherefore he ranne before, and climed vp into a wilde figge tree, that he might see him: for he should come that way.
5 Zvino Jesu wakati achisvika panzvimbo iyo, wakatarira kumusoro, akamuona, akati kwaari: Zakewu, kurumidza uburuke; nokuti nhasi ndinofanira kugara mumba mako.
And when Iesus came to the place, he looked vp, and saw him, and said vnto him, Zaccheus, come downe at once: for to day I must abide at thine house.
6 Zvino wakakurumidza kuburuka, akamugamuchira achifara.
Then he came downe hastily, and receiued him ioyfully.
7 Zvino vakati vazviona vakan'un'una vese vachiti: Wapinda kunogara nemurume mutadzi.
And when all they sawe it, they murmured, saying, that hee was gone in to lodge with a sinfull man.
8 Asi Zakewu wakamira, akati kuna Ishe: Tarirai, hafu yefuma yangu, Ishe, ndinopa kuvarombo, uye kana ndakatora chinhu kune umwe munhu nekunyengera, ndinodzosera runa.
And Zaccheus stood forth, and said vnto the Lord, Beholde, Lord, the halfe of my goods I giue to the poore: and if I haue taken from any man by forged cauillation, I restore him foure folde.
9 Jesu akati kwaari: Nhasi ruponeso rwasvika mumba muno; nokuti iyewo mwanakomana waAbhurahama.
Then Iesus said to him, This day is saluation come vnto this house, forasmuch as hee is also become the sonne of Abraham.
10 Nokuti Mwanakomana wemunhu wakauya kuzotsvaka nekuponesa chakarasika.
For the Sonne of man is come to seeke, and to saue that which was lost.
11 Vakati vanzwa zvinhu izvi, wakawedzera akataura mufananidzo, nokuti wakange ava pedo neJerusarema, uye nekuti vaifunga kuti ushe hwaMwari hwobva hwodoonekereswa.
And whiles they heard these thinges, hee continued and spake a parable, because hee was neere to Hierusalem, and because also they thought that the kingdom of God should shortly appeare.
12 Naizvozvo wakati: Umwe munhu ane mbiri wakaenda kunyika iri kure, kunozvigamuchirira ushe agodzoka.
He saide therefore, A certaine noble man went into a farre countrey, to receiue for himselfe a kingdome, and so to come againe.
13 Zvino wakadana varanda vake gumi, ndokuvapa pondo gumi, ndokuti kwavari: Bhindaukai nayo kusvikira ndichiuya.
And he called his ten seruants, and deliuered them ten pieces of money, and sayd vnto them, Occupie till I come.
14 Asi vanhu venyika yake vakange vachimuvenga, vakatuma nhume shure kwake, vachiti: Hatidi uyu kuti atitonge.
Nowe his citizens hated him, and sent an ambassage after him, saying, We will not haue this man to reigne ouer vs.
15 Zvino zvakaitika kuti adzoka agamuchira ushe, wakaraira kuti vaya varanda vaakange apa mari, vadanirwe kwaari, kuti anzwe kuti umwe neumwe wakawana zvakadini nekutengeserana.
And it came to passe, when hee was come againe, and had receiued his kingdome, that he commanded the seruants to be called to him, to whome he gaue his money, that he might knowe what euery man had gained.
16 Wekutanga ndokusvika, achiti: Ishe, pondo yenyu yawana pondo gumi.
Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy piece hath encreased ten pieces.
17 Zvino akati kwaari: Zvakanaka, muranda wakanaka; nokuti wakange wakatendeka pachidiki-diki, uve nesimba pamusoro pemaguta gumi.
And he sayd vnto him, Well, good seruant: because thou hast bene faithfull in a very litle thing, take thou authoritie ouer ten cities.
18 Newechipiri wakasvika, achiti: Ishe, pondo yenyu yawana pondo shanu.
And the second came, saying, Lord, thy piece hath encreased fiue pieces.
19 Akati kwaariwo: Newe, uve pamusoro pemaguta mashanu.
And to the same he sayd, Be thou also ruler ouer fiue cities.
20 Zvino umwe wakasvika, achiti: Ishe, tarirai pondo yenyu, yandakange ndakachengeta mumucheka wekumeso;
So the other came, and sayd, Lord, beholde thy piece, which I haue laide vp in a napkin:
21 nokuti ndakange ndichikutyai, nokuti muri munhu wakaoma; munotora zvamusina kuisa, muchikohwa izvo zvamusina kudzvara.
For I feared thee, because thou art a straight man: thou takest vp, that thou layedst not downe, and reapest that thou diddest not sowe.
22 Zvino wakati kwaari: Ndichakutonga nezvinobuda mumuromo mako, muranda wakaipa; wakange uchiziva kuti ini ndiri munhu wakaoma, ndichitora zvandisakaisa, nekukohwa izvo zvandisina kudzvara;
Then he sayde vnto him, Of thine owne mouth will I iudge thee, O euill seruant. Thou knewest that I am a straight man, taking vp that I layd not downe, and reaping that I did not sowe.
23 naizvozvo sei usina kuisa mari yangu mubhanga, kuti kana ndouya ndigozoitora pamwe nezvibereko.
Wherefore then gauest not thou my money into the banke, that at my coming I might haue required it with vantage?
24 Ndokuti kune vakange vamirepo: Mutorerei pondo mupe kune ane pondo gumi.
And he sayd to them that stoode by, Take from him that piece, and giue it him that hath ten pieces.
25 Asi vakati kwaari: Ishe, ane pondo gumi.
(And they sayd vnto him, Lord, hee hath ten pieces.)
26 Nokuti ndinoti kwamuri: Anazvo achapiwa; uye asina, kwaari kuchatorwa nezvaanazvo.
For I say vnto you, that vnto all them that haue, it shalbe giuen: and from him that hath not, euen that he hath, shalbe taken from him.
27 Asi vavengi vangu avo, vakange vasingadi kuti nditonge pamusoro pavo, uisai pano, muvauraye pamberi pangu.
Moreouer, those mine enemies, which would not that I should reigne ouer them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
28 Zvino wakati areva zvinhu izvi, akapfuurira mberi, achikwira kuJerusarema.
And when he had thus spoken, he went forth before, ascending vp to Hierusalem.
29 Zvino zvakaitika oswedera kuBhetifage neBhetaniya pagomo rinonzi reMiorivhi, wakatuma vaviri vevadzidzi vake,
And it came to passe, when hee was come neere to Bethphage, and Bethania, besides the mount which is called the mount of Oliues, he sent two of his disciples,
30 achiti: Fambai muende mumusha wakatarisana nemwi; kana muchipinda mauri, muchawana dhongwana rakasungirwa, risina munhu wakamborigara; murisunungure, mugoriuisa.
Saying, Goe ye to the towne which is before you, wherein, assoone as ye are come, ye shall finde a colte tied, whereon neuer man sate: loose him, and bring him hither.
31 Zvino kana chero munhu akakubvunzai achiti: Munorisunungurirei? Muchataura kwaari kudai: Ishe anorida.
And if any man aske you, why ye loose him, thus shall ye say vnto him, Because the Lord hath neede of him.
32 Avo vakatumwa vakaenda vakanowana sezvaakange ataura kwavari.
So they that were sent, went their way, and found it as he had sayd vnto them.
33 Zvino vakati vachisunungura dhongwana, varidzi varo vakati kwavari: Munosunungurirei dhongwana?

34 Ivo ndokuti: Ishe anorida.

36 Zvino achifamba, vakawarira nguvo dzavo munzira.
And as he went, they spred their clothes in the way.
37 Zvino wakati oswedera ikozvino pamateru egomo reMiorivhi, chaunga chese chevadzidzi chikatanga kufara chichirumbidza Mwari nenzwi guru pamusoro pamabasa ese esimba avakange vaona,
And when he was nowe come neere to the going downe of the mount of Oliues, the whole multitude of the disciples began to reioyce, and to prayse God with a loude voyce, for all the great workes that they had seene,

42 achiti: Dai newe waiziva, kunyange pazuva rino rako zvinhu zverugare rwako; asi zvino zvakavanzirwa meso ako.
Saying, O if thou haddest euen knowen at the least in this thy day those things, which belong vnto thy peace! but nowe are they hid from thine eyes.
43 Nokuti mazuva achasvika pamusoro pako, apo vavengi vako vachakukandira muchinjiziri wakakupoteredza, vachakukomba, nekukudzvinyidzira pamativi ese,
For the dayes shall come vpon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compasse thee round, and keepe thee in on euery side,
44 uye vachakuputsira pasi iwe nevana vako mukati mako, havangasii mukati mako ibwe pamusoro pebwe; nokuti hauna kuziva nguva yekushanyirwa kwako.
And shall make thee euen with ye ground, and thy children which are in thee, and they shall not leaue in thee a stone vpon a stone, because thou knewest not that season of thy visitation.
45 Zvino wakapinda mutembere, akatanga kudzingira panze vakange vachitengesamo nevaitenga,

Saying vnto them, It is written, Mine house is the house of prayer, but ye haue made it a denne of theeues.
