Ruka 21
1 Zvino wakati atarira kumusoro akaona vafumi vachikanda zvipo zvavo muchivigiro chezvipo.
Jesus looked up and saw the rich men who were putting their gifts into the treasury.
2 Uye wakaonawo imwe chirikadzi murombo ichikandamo tumari twemhangura tuviri.
He saw a certain poor widow putting in two mites.
3 Ndokuti: Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Chirikadzi iyi murombo yakanda kupfuura vese;
So he said, “Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all of them.
4 nokuti avo vese vakanda muzvipo zvaMwari pamuraudziro wavo, asi iye, paurombo hwake wakanda chese chaaiva nacho chaairarama nacho.
All of these gave gifts out of their abundance. But this widow, out of her poverty, put in all she had to live on.”
5 Zvino vamwe vachiri kutaura pamusoro petembere, kuti yakange yakashongedzwa nemabwe akanaka nezvipo, wakati:
As some spoke of the temple, how it was decorated with beautiful stones and offerings, he said,
6 Zvinhu izvi zvamunoona, mazuva achasvika okuti ibwe harizosiiwi pamusoro pebwe, risingazoputsirwi pasi.
“As for these things that you see, the days will come when not one stone will be left on another which will not be torn down.”
7 Zvino vakamubvunza, vachiti: Mudzidzisi, ko zvinhu izvi zvichava rinhi? Nechiratidzo chii, kana izvozvi zvoitika?
So they asked him, saying, “Teacher, when will these things happen? What will be the sign when these things are about to happen?”
8 Iye ndokuti: Chenjerai kuti musatsauswa; nokuti vazhinji vachauya muzita rangu, vachiti: Ndini Kristu; uye: Nguva yaswedera. Naizvozvo musavatevera.
Jesus answered, “Be careful that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am he,' and, 'The time is near.' Do not go after them.
9 Zvino kana muchinzwa zvehondo nenyonga-nyonga, musavhunduswa; nokuti zvinhu izvi zvinofanira kutanga kuitika; asi kuguma hakuvipo pakarepo.
When you hear of wars and riots, do not be terrified, for these things must happen first, but the end will not happen immediately.”
10 Ipapo wakati kwavari: Rudzi ruchamukira rudzi, neushe huchamukira ushe.
Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
11 Uye kudengenyeka kwenyika kukuru kuchava kunzvimbo dzakasiyana-siyana, nenzara nematenda, uye zvinotyisa nezviratidzo zvikuru zvichabva kudenga zvichavapo.
There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and plagues. There will be terrifying events and great signs from heaven.
12 Asi mberi kwaizvozvi zvese vachaisa maoko avo pamuri, nekushusha, vachikukumikidzai kumasinagoge nemumatirongo, muchiiswa pamberi pemadzimambo nevabati, nekuda kwezita rangu.
But before all of these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you over to the synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors because of my name.
13 Uye izvi zvichashandukira kwamuri kuva uchapupu.
It will lead to an opportunity for your testimony.
14 Naizvozvo zviisei mumoyo menyu, kuti murege kufanofunganya zvamuchazvidavirira.
Therefore resolve in your hearts not to prepare your defense ahead of time,
15 Nokuti ini ndichakupai muromo nenjere, vavengi venyu vese zvavachakonewa kupikisa kana kuramba.
for I will give you words and wisdom that all your adversaries will not be able to resist or contradict.
16 Zvino muchatengeswa kunyange nevabereki, nevanakomana vamai venyu, nehama, neshamwari, uye vachauraya vamwe venyu.
But you will be delivered up also by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends, and they will put some of you to death.
17 Uye muchavengwa nevese nekuda kwezita rangu.
You will be hated by everyone because of my name.
18 Asi hakungatongoparari ruvhudzi rwemusoro wenyu.
But not a hair of your head will perish.
19 Mukutsungirira kwenyu wanai mweya yenyu.
In your endurance you will gain your souls.
20 Zvino kana muchiona Jerusarema rakombwa nemauto, zivai ipapo kuti kuparadzwa kwaro kwaswedera.
When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its destruction is near.
21 Panguva iyo vari muJudhiya ngavatizire kumakomo; nevari mukati maro ngavabude; nevari kumaruwa ngavarege kupinda mariri.
Then let those in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the city leave it, and those who are out in the country must not enter the city.
22 Nokuti awa mazuva etsividzo, kuti zvinhu zvese zvakanyorwa zvizadziswe.
For these are days of vengeance, so that all the things that are written will be fulfilled.
23 Asi vane nhamo vane mimba nevanonwisa mumazuva iwayo! Nokuti kuchavapo kutambudzika kukuru munyika, nehasha pamusoro perudzi urwu.
Woe to them who are pregnant and to them who are nursing in those days! For there will be great distress upon the land, and wrath to this people.
24 Uye vachawa nemuromo wemunondo, nekutapirwa kumarudzi ese; uye Jerusarema richatsikirwa pasi nevechirudzi, kusvikira nguva dzevechirudzi dzazadziswa.
They will fall by the edge of the sword, and they will be led captive into all the nations, and Jerusalem will be trampled by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
25 Zvino zviratidzo zvichavapo pazuva nepamwedzi nepanyeredzi; nepanyika kutambudzika kwemarudzi nekukanganiswa; gungwa nemafungu zvichitinhira,
There will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars, and on the earth. The nations will be in distress, anxious because of the roar of the sea and waves.
26 vanhu vachapera simba nekutya nekutarisira zvinhu izvo zvinouya panyika; nokuti masimba ekumatenga achazungunuswa.
There will be men fainting from fear and from expectation of the things which are coming upon the world. For the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
27 Zvino ipapo vachaona Mwanakomana wemunhu achiuya mugore ane simba nekubwinya kukuru.
Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 Zvino kana zvinhu izvi zvichitanga kuitika, itii tasa, uye musimudze misoro yenyu, nokuti rudzikunuro rwenyu rwaswedera.
But when these things begin to happen, stand up and lift up your heads, because your deliverance is coming near.”
29 Zvino wakavataurira mufananidzo achiti: Tarirai muonde nemiti yese;
Jesus told them a parable, “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees.
30 kana ikozvino yotunga, munozvionera nekuziva kuti zhizha ikozvino rava pedo.
When they sprout buds, you see for yourselves and know that summer is already near.
31 Saizvozvo imwiwo, kana moona zvinhu izvozvi zvichiitika, zivai kuti ushe hwaMwari hwava pedo.
So also, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near.
32 Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Zera iri haringatongopfuuri, kusvikira zvese zvaitika.
Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.
33 Denga nenyika zvichapfuura, asi mashoko angu haangatongopfuuri.
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
34 Zvino zvichenjererei, kuti moyo yenyu irege kuremedzwa nekudyisa nekuraradza nekufunganya zveupenyu huno, zuva iro rikusvikirei musingafungiri.
But pay attention to yourselves, so that your hearts are not burdened with the effects of drinking and intoxication, and the worries of life, and then that day will close on you suddenly like a trap.
35 Nokuti seriva richasvika pamusoro pevese vagere pachiso chenyika yese.
For it will come upon everyone living on the face of the whole earth.
36 Naizvozvo rindai panguva yese munyengetere kuti muverengwe makafanira kupukunyuka zvinhu izvi zvese zvichaitika, nekumira pamberi peMwanakomana wemunhu.
But be alert at all times, praying that you may be strong enough to escape all these things that will take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
37 Zvino waidzidzisa masikati mutembere; asi waibuda achipedzera usiku mugomo rinonzi reMiorivhi.
So during the days he was teaching in the temple, and at night he went out and stayed on the Mount of Olives.
38 Vanhu vese ndokuuya kwaari mangwanani-ngwanani mutembere kuti vamunzwe.
All of the people came early in the morning to hear him in the temple.
