Ruka 20
1 Zvino zvakaitika parimwe remazuva iwayo, achidzidzisa vanhu mutembere nekuparidza evhangeri, vapristi vakuru nevanyori vakasvika nevakuru,
And it came to passe, that on one of those dayes, as he taught the people in the Temple, and preached the Gospel, the hie Priests and the Scribes came vpon him with the Elders,
2 ndokutaura kwaari vachiti: Tiudzei, munoita zvinhu izvi nesimba ripi, kana ndiani iye wakakupai simba iri?
And spake vnto him, saying, Tell vs by what authoritie thou doest these things, or who is hee that hath giuen thee this authoritie?
3 Zvino wakapindura akati kwavari: Ini ndichakubvunzaiwo shoko rimwe; uye mundiudze:
And he answered, and sayde vnto them, I also will aske you one thing: tell me therefore:
4 Rubhabhatidzo rwaJohwani rwakabva kudenga, kana kuvanhu?
The baptisme of Iohn, was it from heauen, or of men?
5 Zvino vakarangana, vachiti: Kana tikati: Kudenga; achati: Naizvozvo makaregerei kumutenda?
And they reasoned within themselues, saying, If we shall say, From heauen, he will say, Why then beleeued ye him not?
6 Asi kana tikati: Kuvanhu; vanhu vese vachatitaka nemabwe; nokuti vaiva nechokwadi kuti Johwani waiva muporofita.
But if we shall say, Of men, all the people will stone vs: for they be perswaded that Iohn was a Prophet.
7 Vakapindura, vachiti havazivi kwarwakabva.
Therefore they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.
8 Jesu ndokuti kwavari: Neni handikuudzii kuti ndinoita zvinhu izvi nesimba ripi.
Then Iesus sayd vnto them, Neither tell I you, by what authoritie I doe these things.
9 Zvino wakatanga kuudza vanhu mufananidzo uyu: Umwe munhu wakasima munda wemizambiringa, akauhaisa kuvarimi, akaenda parwendo nguva refu;
Then began he to speake to ye people this parable, A certaine man planted a vineyarde, and let it forth to husbandmen: and went into a strange countrey, for a great time.
10 zvino nenguva yakafanira wakatuma muranda kuvarimi, kuti vamupe zvechibereko chemunda wemizambiringa; asi varimi vakamurova, vakamuendesa asina chinhu.
And at the time conuenient he sent a seruant to the husbandmen, that they should giue him of the fruite of the vineyard: but the husbandmen did beate him, and sent him away emptie.
11 Zvino wakatumazve umwe muranda; naiye vakamurovawo vakamunyadzisa, vakamuendesa asina chinhu.
Againe he sent yet another seruant: and they did beate him, and foule entreated him, and sent him away emptie.
12 Zvino wakatumazve wechitatu; uyuwo ndokumukuvadza, vakamukandira kunze.
Moreouer he sent the third, and him they wounded, and cast out.
13 Zvino mwene wemunda wemizambiringa wakati: Ndichaitei? Ndichatuma mwanakomana wangu anodikanwa, zvimwe vakaona iye vachamukudza.
Then sayd the Lord of the vineyard, What shall I doe? I will send my beloued sonne: it may be that they will doe reuerence, when they see him.
14 Asi varimi vakati vachimuona vakarangana, vachiti: Uyu ndiye mugari wenhaka; uyai, ngatimuuraye, kuti nhaka igova yedu.
But when the husbandmen sawe him, they reasoned with themselues, saying, This is the heire: come, let vs kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
15 Vakamukandira kunze kwemunda wemizambiringa, vakamuuraya. Naizvozvo mwene wemunda wemizambiringa achavaitirei?
So they cast him out of the vineyarde, and killed him. What shall the Lord of the vineyarde therefore doe vnto them?
16 Achauya, ndokuparadza varimi ivava, agopa munda wemizambiringa vamwe. Zvino vachinzwa, vakati: Zvisadaro!
He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and wil giue out his vineyard to others. But when they heard it, they sayd, God forbid.
17 Asi wakavatarisa, akati: Naizvozvo chii ichi chakanyorwa, chinoti: Ibwe vavaki ravakaramba, ndiro rava musoro wekona?
And he beheld them, and said, What meaneth this then that is written, The stone that the builders refused, that is made the head of the corner?
18 Wese anowira pamusoro pebwe iro, achavhuniwa-vhuniwa; asi ani nani warinowira pamusoro richamukuya.
Whosoeuer shall fall vpon that stone, shall be broken: and on whomsoeuer it shall fall, it will grinde him to pouder.
19 Zvino vapristi vakuru nevanyori neawa iroro vakatsvaka kuisa maoko paari, asi vakatya vanhu; nokuti vakaziva kuti wakareva mufananidzo uyu akanangana navo.
Then the hie Priests, and the Scribes the same houre went about to lay hands on him: (but they feared the people) for they perceiued that he had spoken this parable against them.
20 Vakamucherekedza, vakatumira vashori vakanyepedzera kuva vakarurama, kuti vamubate pakutaura, kuti vamukumikidze kuushe nesimba remutungamiriri.
And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should faine themselues iust men, to take him in his talke, and to deliuer him vnto the power and authoritie of the gouernour.
21 Zvino vakamubvunza, vachiti: Mudzidzisi, tinoziva kuti munotaura nekudzidzisa zvakarurama, uye hamugamuchiri chiso, asi munodzidzisa nzira yaMwari muchokwadi.
And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest, and teachest right, neither doest thou accept mans person, but teachest the way of God truely.
22 Zviri pamutemo here kwatiri kupa mutero kuna Kesari, kana kwete?
Is it lawfull for vs to giue Cesar tribute or no?
23 Asi wakaziva unyengeri hwavo, akati kwavari: Munondiidzirei?
But he perceiued their craftines, and sayd vnto them, Why tempt ye me?
24 Ndiratidzei dhenario; rine mufananidzo nerunyoro rwaani? Vakapindura vakati: ZvaKesari.
Shew me a penie. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered, and sayd, Cesars.
25 Ndokuti kwavari: Naizvozvo dzorerai kuna Kesari zvinhu zvaKesari, nekuna Mwari zvinhu zvaMwari.
Then he sayd vnto them, Giue then vnto Cesar the things which are Cesars, and to God those which are Gods.
26 Vakakoniwa kumubata neshoko rake pamberi pevanhu; vakashamisika nemhinduro yake; vakanyarara.
And they could not reproue his saying before the people: but they marueiled at his answere, and helde their peace.
27 Zvino kwakaswedera vamwe veVaSadhusi, vanoramba kuti kune kumuka, ndokumubvunza,
Then came to him certaine of the Sadduces (which denie that there is any resurrection) and they asked him,
28 vachiti: Mudzidzisi, Mozisi wakatinyorera kuti: Kana mukoma wemunhu akafa ane mukadzi, asi iye akafa asina vana, munin'ina wake atore mukadzi, amutsire mukoma wake mbeu.
Saying, Master, Moses wrote vnto vs, If any mans brother die hauing a wife, and hee die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise vp seede vnto his brother.
29 Naizvozvo kwakange kune vanakomana vemunhu umwe vanomwe; wekutanga ndokutora mukadzi, akafa asina mwana;
Now there were seuen brethren, and the first tooke a wife, and he dyed without children.
30 newechipiri akatora mukadzi uyo, neuyu akafa asina mwana;
And the second tooke the wife, and he dyed childelesse.
31 newechitatu akamutora. Zvikadarowo nevanomwe, uye vakasasiya vana, vakafa.
Then the third tooke her: and so likewise the seuen dyed, and left no children.
32 Pakupedzisira kwavo vese mukadzi wakafawo.
And last of all the woman dyed also.
33 Naizvozvo pakumuka, achava mukadzi waani kwavari? Nokuti vanomwe vakava naye semukadzi.
Therefore at the resurrection, whose wife of them shall she be? for seuen had her to wife.
Then Iesus answered, and sayd vnto them, The children of this world marry wiues, and are married. (aiōn g165)
35 asi avo vachanzi vakafanira kuwana nyika iyo nekumuka kubva kuvakafa havawani kana kuwaniswa; (aiōn g165)
But they which shalbe counted worthy to enioy that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry wiues, neither are married. (aiōn g165)
36 nokuti havagoni kufazve; nokuti vakaita sevatumwa, uye vanakomana vaMwari, vari vanakomana vekumuka.
For they can die no more, forasmuch as they are equall vnto the Angels, and are the sonnes of God, since they are the children of the resurrection.
37 Asi kuti vakafa vanomutswa, kunyange Mozisi wakaratidza pagwenzi reminzwa, paakaidza Ishe Mwari waAbhurahama, naMwari waIsaka, naMwari waJakobho.
And that the dead shall rise againe, euen Moses shewed it besides the bush, when he said, The Lord is the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob.
38 Nokuti haasi Mwari wevakafa, asi wevapenyu; nokuti vese vanoraramira iye.
For he is not the God of the dead, but of them which liue: for all liue vnto him.
39 Zvino vamwe vevanyori vakapindura vakati: Mudzidzisi, mataura zvakanaka.
Then certaine of the Scribes answered, and sayd, Master, thou hast well sayd.
40 Uye havana kuzoshinga kumubvunzazve chinhu.
And after that, durst they not aske him any thing at all.
41 Zvino wakati kwavari: Vanoreva sei kuti Kristu Mwanakomana waDavhidhi?
Then sayd he vnto them, Howe say they that Christ is Dauids sonne?
42 Nokuti Dhavhidhi pachake wakareva mubhuku reMapisarema achiti: Ishe wakati kuna Ishe wangu: Gara kuruoko rwangu rwerudyi,
And Dauid himselfe sayth in the booke of the Psalmes, The Lord sayd vnto my Lord, Sit at my right hand,
43 kusvikira ndaita vavengi vako chitsiko chetsoka dzako.
Till I shall make thine enemies thy footestoole.
44 Naizvozvo Dhavhidhi anomuidza Ishe, ko Mwanakomana wake sei?
Seeing Dauid called him Lord, howe is he then his sonne?
45 Zvino vanhu vese vachakateerera, wakati kuvadzidzi vake:
Then in the audience of all the people he sayd vnto his disciples,
46 Chenjerai vanyori, vanoda kufamba nenguvo refu, uye vanoda kwaziso pamisika, nezvigaro zvepamusorosa mumasinagoge, nezvigaro zvemberi pazvirairo;
Beware of the Scribes, which willingly go in long robes, and loue salutations in the markets, and the highest seates in the assemblies, and the chiefe roomes at feastes:
47 vanodya dzimba dzechirikadzi, vanonyepedzera nekuita minyengetero mirefu; ivavo vachagamuchira mutongo mukuru.
Which deuoure widowes houses, and in shewe make long prayers: These shall receiue greater damnation.
