Ruka 7
1 Zvino wakati apedza mashoko ake ese munzeve dzevanhu, akapinda muKapenaume.
When He completed all His words in the ears of the people, He came into Capernaum.
2 Zvino muranda weumwe mukuru wezana, waiva akakosha kwaari, wakange achirwara, achitandadza.
And the servant of a certain centurion, being sick, was about to die, who was precious to him.
3 Zvino wakati anzwa zvaJesu, akatuma kwaari vakuru veVaJudha, achikumbira kuti auye aporese muranda wake.
And hearing about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to Him, asking Him that having come He may save his servant.
4 Zvino ivo vakati vachisvika kuna Jesu, vakamukumbirisa zvikuru, vachiti: Wakafanira kuti mumuitire izvozvi;
And they, having come to Jesus, continued to entreat Him earnestly, saying, That he to whom He will do this is worthy:
5 nokuti anoda rudzi rwedu, uye ndiye wakativakira sinagoge.
for he loves our race, and himself built for us a synagogue.
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;
And Jesus went along with them. And already He being not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying to Him, Lord, be not troubled: for I am not worthy that you may come in under my roof:
7 naizvozvo handina kutongofunga ini pachangu ndakafanira kuuya kwamuri; asi taurai neshoko, muranda wangu achaporeswa.
Therefore I did not count myself worthy to come to thee; but speak the word, and my servant shall be healed.
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.
For I am also a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
9 Jesu wakati anzwa zvinhu izvi, akashamisika naye, akatendeuka, akati kuchaunga chaimutevera: Ndinoti kwamuri: Handina kuwana rutendo rukuru rwakadai kunyange pakati paIsraeri.
And Jesus, having heard these words, was astonished at him, and turning to the multitude following said, I say unto you, I did not find so great faith in Israel.
10 Zvino avo vakange vatumwa vodzokera kumba vakawana muranda airwara ava mutano.
And those having been sent, returning to the house, found the servant well.
11 Zvino zvakaitika zuva raitevera, kuti wakaenda kuguta rainzi Naini; zvino vazhinji vevadzidzi vake nechaunga chikuru vakaenda naye.
And it came to pass consecutively, He departed into a city called Nain; and His many disciples and a great multitude went along with Him.
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.
And when He drew nigh unto the gate of the city, behold, a dead man, an only born son to his mother, and she a widow, was indeed being carried out: and a great multitude of the city was along with her.
13 Zvino Ishe wakati amuona, akamunzwira tsitsi, akati kwaari: Usachema.
And the Lord seeing her, was moved with compassion towards her, and said to her, Weep not.
14 Zvino akaswedera akabata hwanyanza; zvino vatakuri vakamira; akati: Jaya, ndinoti kwauri: Muka!
And having come forward He touched the bier: and the pall-bearers stood still: and He said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
15 Mushakabvu akamuka ndokugara, akatanga kutaura; akamupa kuna mai vake.
And the dead man sat up, and began to talk, and Ile gave him to his mother.
16 Kutya ndokubata vese; vakarumbidza Mwari, vachiti: Muporofita mukuru wamuka pakati pedu; nekuti: Mwari washanyira vanhu vake.
And fear seized them all: and they continued to glorify God, saying that, A great prophet has arisen among us: and, God has looked upon His people.
17 Zvino iri shoko maererano naye rikabudira muJudhiya rese nenharaunda yese yakapoteredza.
And that word about Him went out in all Judea, and all the country round about.
18 Vadzidzi vaJohwani ndokumupira zvezvinhu izvozvi zvese.
And His disciples proclaimed to John concerning all these things.
19 Johwani akadanira kwaari vamwe vaviri vevadzidzi vake, akavatuma kuna Jesu achiti: Imwi ndimwi anouya here, kana tichakataririra umwe?
And John calling certain two of his disciples sent them to the Lord, saying, Art thou the one coming, or must we expect another?
20 Zvino varume vakati vasvika kwaari, vakati: Johwani Mubhabhatidzi watituma kwamuri achiti: Imwi ndimwi anouya here, kana titaririre umwe?
And the men having come to Him, said; John the Baptist sent us to thee, saving; Art thou the one coming, or must we expect another?
21 Zvino munguva iyoyo akaporesa vazhinji pazvifo neurwere, nepamweya yakaipa; nekumapofu mazhinji akapa kuona.
And at that hour He healed many of their diseases and ailments and evil spirits; and He conferred on many blind people the power to see.
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.
And Jesus responding said to them, Having gone, proclaim to John those things which you saw and heard; that the blind are seeing, the lame are walking about, the lepers are being cleansed, the deaf are hearing, the dead are being raised up, the poor are having the gospel preached unto them;
23 Uye wakaropafadzwa ani nani asingagumbuswi neni.
and happy is he whosoever may not be offended in me.
24 Zvino vatumwa vaJohwani vakati vabva, wakatanga kutaura kuzvaunga pamusoro paJohwani, achiti: Makabudira kurenje kunoonei? Rutsanga rwunozununguswa nemhepo here?
And the messengers of John having gone away, He began to speak to the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? a reed shaken by the wind?
25 Asi makange mabuda kunoonei? Munhu wakapfeka nguvo dzakapfava here? Tarirai, vari munguvo dzinobwinya, vachirarama zvakanaka, vari mudzimba dzemadzimambo.
But what went you out into the wilderness to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold those who are in gaudy apparel and luxury, are in royal palaces.
26 Asi makange mabuda kunoonei? Muporofita here? Hongu, ndinoti kwamuri: Kunyange anopfuura zvikuru muporofita.
But what went you out to see? a prophet? Yea, and I say unto you even more than a prophet.
27 Uyu ndiye wakanyorwa pamusoro pake, zvichinzi: Tarira, ini ndinotuma mutumwa wangu pamberi pechiso chako, achagadzira nzira yako pamberi pako.
This is he concerning whom it has been written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who will prepare thy way before thee.
28 Nokuti ndinoti kwamuri: Pakati pevakaberekwa nevakadzi, hakuna muporofita mukuru kuna Johwani Mubhabhatidzi; asi mudikisa muushe hwaMwari mukuru kwaari.
I say unto you, among those having been born of women no prophet is greater than John the Baptist; nevertheless the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
29 Zvino vanhu vese nevateresi vakati vachizvinzwa vakati Mwari wakarurama, zvavakange vabhabhatidzwa nerubhabhatidzo rwaJohwani.
And all the people hearing and the publicans justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
30 Asi VaFarisi nenyanzvi dzemutemo vakaramba zano raMwari vachizvipikisa, vakasabhabhatidzwa naye.
But the Pharisees and theologians rejected the counsel of God, against themselves, not having been baptized by him.
31 Asi Ishe akati: Zvino vanhu vezera iri ndichavafananidza nei? Vakafanana nei?
Then to whom shall I liken the men of this generation, and to whom are they like?
32 Vakafanana nevana vadiki vagere pamisika vachidanidzirana vachiti: Takakuridzirai nyere asi hamuna kutamba, takakuririrai asi hamuna kuchema.
They are like unto little children sitting in the market-place, and calling to one another, and saying, We piped unto you, and you did not dance; we mourned unto you, and you did not weep.
33 Nokuti Johwani Mubhabhatidzi akauya asingadyi chingwa kana kunwa waini, zvino moti: Ane dhimoni;
For John the Baptist has come neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and you say, He has a demon.
34 Mwanakomana wemunhu wauya achidya, achinwa, zvino moti: Tarirai munhu wemakaro nemunwi wewaini, shamwari yevateresi nevatadzi.
The Son of man has come eating and drinking, and you say, Behold, a gluttonous wine-drinking man, a friend of publicans and sinners.
35 Asi uchenjeri hunonzi hwakarurama nevana vahwo vese.
Truly wisdom is justified by her children.
36 Zvino umwe weVaFarisi wakamukumbira kuti adye naye; akapinda mumba memuFarisi, akagara pakudya.
And a certain one of the Pharisees, asked Him, that He would eat with him, and having come into the house of the Pharisee, He sat down to the table.
37 Zvino tarira, mukadzi muguta iro, waiva mutadzi, wakati aziva kuti agere pakudya mumba memuFarisi, akauya nechinu chearibhasiteri chechizoro.
Behold, a woman who was a sinner, in the city, also having learned that He is dining in the house of the Pharisee, breaking an alabaster box of myrrh,
38 Akamira patsoka dzake mushure make achichema, akatanga kunyorovesa tsoka dzake nemisodzi, akapukuta nevhudzi remusoro wake, ndokutsvoda tsoka dzake ndokudzizodza nechizoro.
and standing behind by His feet, weeping, began to moisten His feel with tears, and she wiped them with the hairs of her head, and she continued to copiously kiss His feet, and to anoint them with the myrrh.
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.
And the Pharisee, having invited Him, seeing, spoke within himself, saying, If He were a prophet, He would know who and what kind the woman is, who touches Him, because she is a sinner.
40 Jesu ndokupindura akati kwaari: Simoni, ndine chekutaura kwauri. Iye ndokuti: Mudzidzisi, revai.
And Jesus responding said to him, Simon, I have something to say to thee. And he says, Speak, Teacher.
41 Kwakange kune vakwereti vaviri kune umwe mukweretesi; umwe wakange ane chikwereti chamadhenario mazana mashanu, uye umwe makumi mashanu.
There were two debtors to a certain creditor: the one owed him five hundred denaria, and the other fifty.
42 Vakati vasina chekuripisa, akavakanganwira vari vaviri. Naizvozvo ndeupi wavo, taura, achamuda kupfuura umwe?
And they not being able to pay, he forgave them both. Then which one of them will love him the more?
43 Simoni akapindura akati: Ndinofunga ndouyo waakakanganwira kupfuura umwe. Akati kwaari: Watonga zvakarurama.
Simon responding said, I perceive, that he, to whom he forgave the more. And He said to him, You answered correctly.
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.
And turning to the woman He said to Simon, Do you see this woman? I came into thy house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with her hairs.
45 Hauna kunditsvoda, asi iye chinguri chandapinda, haana kumira kutsvoda tsoka dzangu.
Thou gavest me no kiss: she, from the time I came in, did not cease copiously kissing my feet.
46 Nemafuta musoro wangu hauna kuuzodza; asi iye wazodza tsoka dzangu nechizoro.
Thou didst not anoint my head with oil: but she anointed my feet with myrrh.
47 Naizvozvo, ndinoti kwauri: Zvivi zvake zvizhinji zvakanganwirwa, nokuti wada zvikuru; asi anokanganwirwa zvishoma, anoda zvishoma.
Therefore I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but he to whom little is forgiven, loveth little.
48 Zvino akati kwaari: Zvivi zvako zvakanganwirwa.
And He said to her; Thy sins are forgiven.
49 Zvino avo vakange vagere pakudya naye vakatanga kureva mukati mavo, vachiti: Ndiani uyu anokanganwirawo zvivi?
And those sitting along with Him began to say among themselves, Who is this who even forgives sins?
50 Akati kumukadzi: Rutendo rwako rwakuponesa; enda nerugare.
And He said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved them; go in peace.
