Ruka 7
1 Zvino wakati apedza mashoko ake ese munzeve dzevanhu, akapinda muKapenaume.
And when he had finished all these discourses in the audience of the people, Jesus entered into Capernaum.
2 Zvino muranda weumwe mukuru wezana, waiva akakosha kwaari, wakange achirwara, achitandadza.
And the servant of a centurion, who was dear to him, was very sick, and near to death.
3 Zvino wakati anzwa zvaJesu, akatuma kwaari vakuru veVaJudha, achikumbira kuti auye aporese muranda wake.
And he heard of Jesus, and sent the Elders of the Jews to him, and requested of him that he would come and save the life of his servant.
4 Zvino ivo vakati vachisvika kuna Jesu, vakamukumbirisa zvikuru, vachiti: Wakafanira kuti mumuitire izvozvi;
And when they came to Jesus, they entreated him earnestly, and said: He is worthy that thou shouldst do this for him;
5 nokuti anoda rudzi rwedu, uye ndiye wakativakira sinagoge.
for he loveth our nation, and hath also built us a house of assembly.
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 with them. And when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent his friends to him, and said to him: My Lord, trouble not thyself, for I am not worthy that thou shouldst come under my roof:
7 naizvozvo handina kutongofunga ini pachangu ndakafanira kuuya kwamuri; asi taurai neshoko, muranda wangu achaporeswa.
therefore I deemed myself not worthy to approach thee myself; but speak the word only, and my young man will 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 also am a man subjected to authority; and I have soldiers under my command; 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 when Jesus heard these things, he admired him; and he turned, and said to the throng that followed him: I say to you, I have not found faith like this even in Israel.
10 Zvino avo vakange vatumwa vodzokera kumba vakawana muranda airwara ava mutano.
And they that were sent, returned to the house; and they found the servant that had been sick, now well.
11 Zvino zvakaitika zuva raitevera, kuti wakaenda kuguta rainzi Naini; zvino vazhinji vevadzidzi vake nechaunga chikuru vakaenda naye.
And the following day, he went to a city called Nain; and his disciples were with him, and a great multitude.
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 as he approached the gate of the city, he saw a procession bearing a dead man, the only son of his mother, and she a widow; and a great company of the people of the city were with her.
13 Zvino Ishe wakati amuona, akamunzwira tsitsi, akati kwaari: Usachema.
And Jesus looked upon her, and had compassion on her; and he said to her, Weep not.
14 Zvino akaswedera akabata hwanyanza; zvino vatakuri vakamira; akati: Jaya, ndinoti kwauri: Muka!
And he went, and touched the bier; and they that bore him stood still. And he said: Young man, I say to thee, Arise.
15 Mushakabvu akamuka ndokugara, akatanga kutaura; akamupa kuna mai vake.
And the dead man sat up, and began to speak: and he delivered him to his mother.
16 Kutya ndokubata vese; vakarumbidza Mwari, vachiti: Muporofita mukuru wamuka pakati pedu; nekuti: Mwari washanyira vanhu vake.
And awe seized all the people; and they glorified God, and said: A great prophet hath arisen among us, and God hath visited his people.
17 Zvino iri shoko maererano naye rikabudira muJudhiya rese nenharaunda yese yakapoteredza.
And that saying respecting him went out through all Judaea and all the surrounding region.
18 Vadzidzi vaJohwani ndokumupira zvezvinhu izvozvi zvese.
And the disciples of John told him all these things.
19 Johwani akadanira kwaari vamwe vaviri vevadzidzi vake, akavatuma kuna Jesu achiti: Imwi ndimwi anouya here, kana tichakataririra umwe?
And John called two of his disciples, and sent them to Jesus, and said: Art thou he that cometh, or shall we look for another?
20 Zvino varume vakati vasvika kwaari, vakati: Johwani Mubhabhatidzi watituma kwamuri achiti: Imwi ndimwi anouya here, kana titaririre umwe?
And they came to Jesus, and said to him: John the Baptizer hath sent us to thee, and saith: Art thou he that cometh, or shall we look for another?
21 Zvino munguva iyoyo akaporesa vazhinji pazvifo neurwere, nepamweya yakaipa; nekumapofu mazhinji akapa kuona.
And in that hour he healed many persons of their diseases, and of plagues, and of unclean spirits, and gave sight to many blind persons.
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 replied, and said to them: Go ye, and tell John all that ye have seen and heard; that the blind see, and the lame walk, and the leprous are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead arise, and to the poor good news is proclaimed:
23 Uye wakaropafadzwa ani nani asingagumbuswi neni.
and blessed is he that is not stumbled in me.
24 Zvino vatumwa vaJohwani vakati vabva, wakatanga kutaura kuzvaunga pamusoro paJohwani, achiti: Makabudira kurenje kunoonei? Rutsanga rwunozununguswa nemhepo here?
And when John's disciples were gone, Jesus began to say to the multitude, concerning John: What went ye into the wilderness to see? a reed agitated by the wind?
25 Asi makange mabuda kunoonei? Munhu wakapfeka nguvo dzakapfava here? Tarirai, vari munguvo dzinobwinya, vachirarama zvakanaka, vari mudzimba dzemadzimambo.
Or if not; what went ye out to see? a man clad in soft raiment? Lo, they that use splendid garments and luxuries, are in kings' palaces.
26 Asi makange mabuda kunoonei? Muporofita here? Hongu, ndinoti kwamuri: Kunyange anopfuura zvikuru muporofita.
Or if not; what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, say I to you; and more than a prophet.
27 Uyu ndiye wakanyorwa pamusoro pake, zvichinzi: Tarira, ini ndinotuma mutumwa wangu pamberi pechiso chako, achagadzira nzira yako pamberi pako.
For this is he, of whom it is written: Behold I send my messenger before thy face, to 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 to you, that no prophet, among those born of women, was greater than John the Baptizer: and yet the little one 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 that heard him, justified God, as they had been baptized with John's baptism.
30 Asi VaFarisi nenyanzvi dzemutemo vakaramba zano raMwari vachizvipikisa, vakasabhabhatidzwa naye.
But the Pharisees and Scribes rejected the good pleasure of God, against themselves; as they were not baptized by him.
31 Asi Ishe akati: Zvino vanhu vezera iri ndichavafananidza nei? Vakafanana nei?
To what, therefore, shall I compare this generation? and to what are they like?
32 Vakafanana nevana vadiki vagere pamisika vachidanidzirana vachiti: Takakuridzirai nyere asi hamuna kutamba, takakuririrai asi hamuna kuchema.
They are like children, that sit in the market-place, and call to their fellows and say: We have piped to you, and ye did not dance; we have howled to you, and ye did not weep.
33 Nokuti Johwani Mubhabhatidzi akauya asingadyi chingwa kana kunwa waini, zvino moti: Ane dhimoni;
For John the Baptizer came, not eating bread, and not drinking wine; and ye say: He hath a demon.
34 Mwanakomana wemunhu wauya achidya, achinwa, zvino moti: Tarirai munhu wemakaro nemunwi wewaini, shamwari yevateresi nevatadzi.
The Son of man came, eating and drinking; and ye say: Behold, a gluttonous man, and a wine drinker, and one fond of publicans and sinners.
35 Asi uchenjeri hunonzi hwakarurama nevana vahwo vese.
But wisdom is justified by all her children.
36 Zvino umwe weVaFarisi wakamukumbira kuti adye naye; akapinda mumba memuFarisi, akagara pakudya.
And one of the Pharisees came, and asked him to eat with him. And he entered the house of the Pharisee, and reclined.
37 Zvino tarira, mukadzi muguta iro, waiva mutadzi, wakati aziva kuti agere pakudya mumba memuFarisi, akauya nechinu chearibhasiteri chechizoro.
And there was a woman in the city, who was a sinner; and when she learned that he reclined in the Pharisee's house, she took an alabaster box of perfume,
38 Akamira patsoka dzake mushure make achichema, akatanga kunyorovesa tsoka dzake nemisodzi, akapukuta nevhudzi remusoro wake, ndokutsvoda tsoka dzake ndokudzizodza nechizoro.
and stood behind him, at his feet, and wept; and she began to bathe his feet with her tears, and to wipe them with the hair of her head; and she kissed his feet, and anointed them with the perfume.
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 when the Pharisee that invited him, saw it, he thought within himself, and said: If this man were a prophet, he would know who she is, and what is her reputation; for the woman that toucheth him, is a sinner.
40 Jesu ndokupindura akati kwaari: Simoni, ndine chekutaura kwauri. Iye ndokuti: Mudzidzisi, revai.
And Jesus answered, and said to him: Simon, I have something to say to thee. He said to him: Say it, Rabbi. Jesus said to him:
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 denarii, and the other fifty denarii.
42 Vakati vasina chekuripisa, akavakanganwira vari vaviri. Naizvozvo ndeupi wavo, taura, achamuda kupfuura umwe?
And as they had not the means of pay, he released them both. Which of them, therefore will love him most?
43 Simoni akapindura akati: Ndinofunga ndouyo waakakanganwira kupfuura umwe. Akati kwaari: Watonga zvakarurama.
Simon replied, and said: I suppose he to whom most was released. Jesus said to him: Thou hast judged 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 he turned to the woman, and said to Simon: Seest thou this woman? I entered thy house, and thou gavest me no water for my feet; but she hath bathed my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair.
45 Hauna kunditsvoda, asi iye chinguri chandapinda, haana kumira kutsvoda tsoka dzangu.
Thou gavest me no kiss; but this woman, since she came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 Nemafuta musoro wangu hauna kuuzodza; asi iye wazodza tsoka dzangu nechizoro.
Thou didst not anoint my head with perfume; but she hath anointed my feet with perfumed ointment.
47 Naizvozvo, ndinoti kwauri: Zvivi zvake zvizhinji zvakanganwirwa, nokuti wada zvikuru; asi anokanganwirwa zvishoma, anoda zvishoma.
I therefore say to thee: Her many sins are forgiven her, for she loveth much. But he, to whom little is forgiven, loveth little.
48 Zvino akati kwaari: Zvivi zvako zvakanganwirwa.
And he said to the woman: Thy sins are forgiven thee.
49 Zvino avo vakange vagere pakudya naye vakatanga kureva mukati mavo, vachiti: Ndiani uyu anokanganwirawo zvivi?
And they that were reclining, began to say in themselves: Who is this, that even forgiveth sins?
50 Akati kumukadzi: Rutendo rwako rwakuponesa; enda nerugare.
And Jesus said to the woman: Thy faith hath given thee life. Go, in peace.
