Ruka 7
1 Zvino wakati apedza mashoko ake ese munzeve dzevanhu, akapinda muKapenaume.
Yesu atamaliza kunena zonsezi pamaso pa anthu amene ankamvetsera, analowa mu Kaperenawo.
2 Zvino muranda weumwe mukuru wezana, waiva akakosha kwaari, wakange achirwara, achitandadza.
Kumeneko wantchito wa Kenturiyo, amene amamukhulupirira kwambiri, anadwala ndipo anali pafupi kufa.
3 Zvino wakati anzwa zvaJesu, akatuma kwaari vakuru veVaJudha, achikumbira kuti auye aporese muranda wake.
Kenturiyo anamva za Yesu ndipo anatumiza ena a akulu Ayuda kwa Iye kuti abwere adzachiritse wantchito wakeyo.
4 Zvino ivo vakati vachisvika kuna Jesu, vakamukumbirisa zvikuru, vachiti: Wakafanira kuti mumuitire izvozvi;
Iwo atafika kwa Yesu, anamudandaulira kwambiri, nati, “Munthuyu ayenera kuthandizidwa
5 nokuti anoda rudzi rwedu, uye ndiye wakativakira sinagoge.
chifukwa amakonda mtundu wathu ndipo anatimangira sunagoge wathu.”
6 Zvino Jesu akaenda navo. Zvino apo akange asisiri kure neimba, mukuru wezana akatuma shamwari kwaari, achiti kwaari: Ishe, musazvitambudza; nokuti handina kufanira kuti mupinde pasi pedenga reimba yangu;
Pamenepo Yesu anapita nawo. Iye sanali patali ndi nyumba pamene Kenturiyo anatumiza anzake kuti akamuwuze kuti, “Ambuye, musadzivutitse, pakuti ndine wosayenera kuti mulowe mʼnyumba mwanga.
7 naizvozvo handina kutongofunga ini pachangu ndakafanira kuuya kwamuri; asi taurai neshoko, muranda wangu achaporeswa.
Nʼchifukwa chake sindinadziyenereze ndi pangʼono pomwe kuti ndibwere kwa inu. Koma nenani mawu, ndipo wantchito wanga adzachira.
8 Nokuti iniwo ndiri munhu wakaiswa pasi pesimba, ndine mauto pasi pangu; ndinoti kune uyu: Enda, anoenda; uye kune umwe: Uya, anouya; nekumuranda wangu: Ita ichi, achiita.
Pakuti ndili pansi paulamuliro, ndiponso ndili ndi asilikali pansi panga. Ndikamuwuza uyu kuti, ‘Pita,’ iye amapita; ndi uyo kuti, ‘Bwera,’ amabwera. Ndikamuwuza wantchito wanga kuti, ‘Chita ichi,’ amachita.”
9 Jesu wakati anzwa zvinhu izvi, akashamisika naye, akatendeuka, akati kuchaunga chaimutevera: Ndinoti kwamuri: Handina kuwana rutendo rukuru rwakadai kunyange pakati paIsraeri.
Yesu atamva izi, anadabwa naye, ndipo anatembenukira gulu la anthu limene limamutsatira nati, “Ndikukuwuzani kuti, sindinapeze chikhulupiriro chachikulu ngati ichi mu Israeli.”
10 Zvino avo vakange vatumwa vodzokera kumba vakawana muranda airwara ava mutano.
Kenaka anthu amene anatumidwawo anabwerera ku nyumba ndipo anakamupeza wantchitoyo atachira.
11 Zvino zvakaitika zuva raitevera, kuti wakaenda kuguta rainzi Naini; zvino vazhinji vevadzidzi vake nechaunga chikuru vakaenda naye.
Zitangotha izi, Yesu anapita ku mudzi wa Naini ndipo ophunzira ake ndi gulu lalikulu la anthu linapita naye pamodzi.
12 Zvino, wakati achiswedera pasuwo reguta, zvino tarira, mushakabvu achibudiswa kunze, mwanakomana umwe wega wamai vake, uye ivo vaiva chirikadzi; nechaunga chikuru cheguta chakange chinaye.
Akufika pa chipata cha mudziwo, anakumana ndi anthu amene ankatuluka ndi munthu wakufa amene anali mwana yekhayo wa mkazi wamasiye. Gulu lalikulu la anthu a mʼmudziwo linali naye.
13 Zvino Ishe wakati amuona, akamunzwira tsitsi, akati kwaari: Usachema.
Ambuye atamuona mayiyo, mtima wawo unagwidwa naye chifundo ndipo anati, “Usalire.”
14 Zvino akaswedera akabata hwanyanza; zvino vatakuri vakamira; akati: Jaya, ndinoti kwauri: Muka!
Kenaka anapita nakakhudza chithatha cha maliro ndipo amene anachinyamulawo anayima. Iye anati, “Mnyamata, ndikukuwuza kuti, dzuka!”
15 Mushakabvu akamuka ndokugara, akatanga kutaura; akamupa kuna mai vake.
Wakufayo anakhala tsonga ndi kuyamba kuyankhula, ndipo Yesu anamupereka mnyamatayo kwa amayi ake.
16 Kutya ndokubata vese; vakarumbidza Mwari, vachiti: Muporofita mukuru wamuka pakati pedu; nekuti: Mwari washanyira vanhu vake.
Onse anachita mantha kwambiri nalemekeza Mulungu. Iwo anati, “Mneneri wamkulu waonekera pakati pathu. Mulungu wabwera kudzathandiza anthu ake.”
17 Zvino iri shoko maererano naye rikabudira muJudhiya rese nenharaunda yese yakapoteredza.
Mbiriyi inafalikira ku Yudeya konse ndi ku madera ozungulira.
18 Vadzidzi vaJohwani ndokumupira zvezvinhu izvozvi zvese.
Ndipo ophunzira a Yohane anamuwuza Yohaneyo zinthu zonsezi. Atayitana awiri a ophunzirawo,
19 Johwani akadanira kwaari vamwe vaviri vevadzidzi vake, akavatuma kuna Jesu achiti: Imwi ndimwi anouya here, kana tichakataririra umwe?
anawatumiza kwa Ambuye kukafunsa kuti, “Kodi ndinu anayenera kubwerayo, kapena tiyembekezere wina?”
20 Zvino varume vakati vasvika kwaari, vakati: Johwani Mubhabhatidzi watituma kwamuri achiti: Imwi ndimwi anouya here, kana titaririre umwe?
Anthuwo atafika kwa Yesu anati, “Yohane Mʼbatizi watituma kwa Inu kuti tidzafunse kuti, ‘Kodi ndinu anayenera kubwerayo, kapena tiyembekezere wina?’”
21 Zvino munguva iyoyo akaporesa vazhinji pazvifo neurwere, nepamweya yakaipa; nekumapofu mazhinji akapa kuona.
Pa nthawi yomweyo, Yesu anachiritsa ambiri amene ankavutika, odwala ndi amene anali mizimu yoyipa, ndiponso anapenyetsa anthu osaona.
22 Zvino Jesu achipindura akati kwavari: Endai munoudza Johwani zvamakaona nezvamakanzwa; zvekuti, mapofu anoonazve, vanokamhina vanofamba, vane maperembudzi vanonatsva, matsi dzinonzwa, vakafa vanomutswa, varombo vanoparidzirwa evhangeri.
Ndipo Iye anawayankha otumidwawo kuti, “Bwererani ndi kukamuwuza Yohane zimene mwaona ndi kumva: Osaona akuona, olumala akuyenda, akhate akuchiritsidwa, osamva akumva, akufa akuukitsidwa, ndipo Uthenga Wabwino ukulalikidwa kwa osauka.
23 Uye wakaropafadzwa ani nani asingagumbuswi neni.
Odala munthu amene sakhumudwa chifukwa cha Ine.”
24 Zvino vatumwa vaJohwani vakati vabva, wakatanga kutaura kuzvaunga pamusoro paJohwani, achiti: Makabudira kurenje kunoonei? Rutsanga rwunozununguswa nemhepo here?
Anthu otumidwa ndi Yohane aja atachoka, Yesu anayamba kuyankhula ndi gulu la anthu za Yohaneyo kuti, “Kodi munkapita ku chipululu kukaona chiyani? Bango logwedezeka ndi mphepo?
25 Asi makange mabuda kunoonei? Munhu wakapfeka nguvo dzakapfava here? Tarirai, vari munguvo dzinobwinya, vachirarama zvakanaka, vari mudzimba dzemadzimambo.
Ngati si choncho, munkapita kukaona chiyani? Munthu wovala zovala zabwino? Ayi, ovala zovala zodula ndi okhala moyo wapamwamba ali mʼnyumba zaufumu.
26 Asi makange mabuda kunoonei? Muporofita here? Hongu, ndinoti kwamuri: Kunyange anopfuura zvikuru muporofita.
Koma inu munkapita kukaona chiyani? Mneneri? Inde, Ine ndikukuwuzani, woposa mneneri.
27 Uyu ndiye wakanyorwa pamusoro pake, zvichinzi: Tarira, ini ndinotuma mutumwa wangu pamberi pechiso chako, achagadzira nzira yako pamberi pako.
Uyu ndi amene malemba akunena za Iye kuti, “‘Ine ndidzatuma mthenga wanga patsogolo panu, amene adzakonza njira yanu.’
28 Nokuti ndinoti kwamuri: Pakati pevakaberekwa nevakadzi, hakuna muporofita mukuru kuna Johwani Mubhabhatidzi; asi mudikisa muushe hwaMwari mukuru kwaari.
Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti pakati pa obadwa kuchokera mwa mkazi palibe wina wamkulu kuposa Yohane; komabe amene ali wamngʼono mu ufumu wa Mulungu ndi wamkulu kuposa iye.”
29 Zvino vanhu vese nevateresi vakati vachizvinzwa vakati Mwari wakarurama, zvavakange vabhabhatidzwa nerubhabhatidzo rwaJohwani.
Anthu onse, ngakhale amisonkho, atamva mawu a Yesu, anavomereza kuti njira ya Mulungu ndi yolondola, chifukwa anabatizidwa ndi Yohane.
30 Asi VaFarisi nenyanzvi dzemutemo vakaramba zano raMwari vachizvipikisa, vakasabhabhatidzwa naye.
Koma Afarisi ndi akatswiri amalamulo anakana cholinga cha Mulungu kwa iwo okha, chifukwa sanabatizidwe ndi Yohane.
31 Asi Ishe akati: Zvino vanhu vezera iri ndichavafananidza nei? Vakafanana nei?
“Kodi ndingawafanizire chiyani anthu a mʼbado uno? Ali ngati chiyani?
32 Vakafanana nevana vadiki vagere pamisika vachidanidzirana vachiti: Takakuridzirai nyere asi hamuna kutamba, takakuririrai asi hamuna kuchema.
Ali ngati ana amene akukangana pa msika, ena akufunsa anzawo kuti, “‘Ife tinakuyimbirani chitoliro, koma inu simunavine. Tinakuyimbirani nyimbo zamaliro, koma inu simunalire.’
33 Nokuti Johwani Mubhabhatidzi akauya asingadyi chingwa kana kunwa waini, zvino moti: Ane dhimoni;
Pakuti Yohane Mʼbatizi sanabwere kudzadya buledi kapena kumwa vinyo, koma inu mumati, ‘Ali ndi chiwanda.’
34 Mwanakomana wemunhu wauya achidya, achinwa, zvino moti: Tarirai munhu wemakaro nemunwi wewaini, shamwari yevateresi nevatadzi.
Mwana wa Munthu anabwera nadya ndi kumwa, ndipo inu mukuti, ‘Ali ndi dyera komanso ndi woledzera, bwenzi la amisonkho ndi ochimwa.’
35 Asi uchenjeri hunonzi hwakarurama nevana vahwo vese.
Ndipo nzeru zimaoneka zolondola mwa ana ake onse.”
36 Zvino umwe weVaFarisi wakamukumbira kuti adye naye; akapinda mumba memuFarisi, akagara pakudya.
Tsopano mmodzi mwa Afarisi anayitana Yesu kuti akadye naye ku nyumba kwake ndipo anapita nakakhala pa tebulo.
37 Zvino tarira, mukadzi muguta iro, waiva mutadzi, wakati aziva kuti agere pakudya mumba memuFarisi, akauya nechinu chearibhasiteri chechizoro.
Mayi amene amakhala moyo wauchimo mu mzindawo atadziwa kuti Yesu akudya ku nyumba ya Mfarisiyo, anabweretsa botolo la mafuta onunkhira a alabasta.
38 Akamira patsoka dzake mushure make achichema, akatanga kunyorovesa tsoka dzake nemisodzi, akapukuta nevhudzi remusoro wake, ndokutsvoda tsoka dzake ndokudzizodza nechizoro.
Iye anayimirira kumbuyo kwa Yesu pa mapazi ake akulira, nayamba kumadontheza misozi pa mapazi ake. Ndipo iye anapukuta mapaziwo ndi tsitsi lake, nawapsompsona ndi kuwathira mafuta onunkhirawo.
39 Zvino muFarisi wakange amudana wakati achizviona, akataura mukati make, achiti: Uyu dai aiva muporofita, angadai aiziva kuti ndiani, uye ndewakadini mukadzi anomubata, nokuti mutadzi.
Mfarisiyo anamuyitanayo ataona izi, anati mu mtima mwake, “Ngati munthuyu akanakhala mneneri, akanadziwa kuti akumukhudzayo ndi mayi otani, kuti ndi wochimwa.”
40 Jesu ndokupindura akati kwaari: Simoni, ndine chekutaura kwauri. Iye ndokuti: Mudzidzisi, revai.
Yesu anamuyankha iye kuti, “Simoni, ndili ndi kanthu koti ndikuwuze.” Iye anati, “Ndiwuzeni Aphunzitsi.”
41 Kwakange kune vakwereti vaviri kune umwe mukweretesi; umwe wakange ane chikwereti chamadhenario mazana mashanu, uye umwe makumi mashanu.
“Anthu awiri anakongola ndalama kwa munthu wina wokongoletsa ndalama: mmodzi ndalama zokwana 500 ndi winayo ndalama makumi asanu.
42 Vakati vasina chekuripisa, akavakanganwira vari vaviri. Naizvozvo ndeupi wavo, taura, achamuda kupfuura umwe?
Panalibe mmodzi mwa iwo anali ndi ndalama zobwezera, ndipo iye anawakhululukira ngongole zawo. Tsopano ndi ndani mwa awiriwa adzamukonde koposa?”
43 Simoni akapindura akati: Ndinofunga ndouyo waakakanganwira kupfuura umwe. Akati kwaari: Watonga zvakarurama.
Simoni anayankha kuti, “Ndikuganiza kuti ndi amene anamukhululukira ngongole yayikulu.” Yesu anati, “Wayankha molondola.”
44 Zvino akatendeukira kumukadzi, akati kuna Simoni: Unoona mukadzi uyu here? Ndapinda mumba mako, mvura yetsoka dzangu hauna kundipa; asi uyu wanyorevesa tsoka dzangu nemisodzi, akapusika nevhudzi remusoro wake.
Kenaka anatembenukira kwa mayiyo nati kwa Simoni, “Ukumuona mayiyu? Ine ndabwera mʼnyumba yako. Iwe sunandipatse madzi otsukira mapazi anga, koma iyeyu wanyowetsa mapazi anga ndi misozi yake ndi kuwapukuta ndi tsitsi lake.
45 Hauna kunditsvoda, asi iye chinguri chandapinda, haana kumira kutsvoda tsoka dzangu.
Iwe sunandipsompsone, koma mayiyu, kuyambira pamene Ine ndalowa, sanaleke kupsompsona mapazi anga.
46 Nemafuta musoro wangu hauna kuuzodza; asi iye wazodza tsoka dzangu nechizoro.
Iwe sunadzoze mutu wanga mafuta, koma iye wadzoza mapazi anga mafuta onunkhira.
47 Naizvozvo, ndinoti kwauri: Zvivi zvake zvizhinji zvakanganwirwa, nokuti wada zvikuru; asi anokanganwirwa zvishoma, anoda zvishoma.
Tsono, ndikukuwuza iwe, machimo ake amene ndi ambiri akhululukidwa, monga chaonetsera chikondi chake chachikulu. Koma iye amene wakhululukidwa zochepa amakonda pangʼono.”
48 Zvino akati kwaari: Zvivi zvako zvakanganwirwa.
Kenaka anati kwa mayiyo, “Machimo ako akhululukidwa.”
49 Zvino avo vakange vagere pakudya naye vakatanga kureva mukati mavo, vachiti: Ndiani uyu anokanganwirawo zvivi?
Alendo enawo anayamba kumanena mʼmitima mwawo kuti, “Uyu ndi ndani amene akhululukiranso machimo?”
50 Akati kumukadzi: Rutendo rwako rwakuponesa; enda nerugare.
Yesu anati kwa mayiyo, “Chikhulupiriro chako chakupulumutsa. Pita mu mtendere.”
