1 Zvino wakati apedza mashoko ake ese munzeve dzevanhu, akapinda muKapenaume.
Kwathi uJesu eseqedile ukukhuluma konke lokhu abantu labo besizwa wayangena eKhaphenawume.
2 Zvino muranda weumwe mukuru wezana, waiva akakosha kwaari, wakange achirwara, achitandadza.
Khonapho inceku yenduna yekhulu eyayiligugu kakhulu enkosini yayo, yayigula isibangwa lezibi.
3 Zvino wakati anzwa zvaJesu, akatuma kwaari vakuru veVaJudha, achikumbira kuti auye aporese muranda wake.
Induna yekhulu yezwa ngoJesu yathuma kuye abanye abadala bamaJuda icela ukuba eze azosilisa inceku yayo.
4 Zvino ivo vakati vachisvika kuna Jesu, vakamukumbirisa zvikuru, vachiti: Wakafanira kuti mumuitire izvozvi;
Bafika kuJesu bamncenga kakhulu bathi, “Indoda le ifanele ukuthi uyenzele lokhu,
5 nokuti anoda rudzi rwedu, uye ndiye wakativakira sinagoge.
ngoba iyasithanda isizwe sakithi njalo yiyo eyakha isinagogu yethu.”
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;
Ngakho uJesu wahamba labo. Wayengasekhatshana lendlu lapho induna yekhulu yathuma abangane bayo ukuyakuthi kuye, “Nkosi, ungazihluphi, akungifanelanga mina ukuthi ungene ngaphansi kophahla lwami.
7 naizvozvo handina kutongofunga ini pachangu ndakafanira kuuya kwamuri; asi taurai neshoko, muranda wangu achaporeswa.
Yikho okwenze ngazibona ngingafanele ukuthi ngize kuwe. Kodwa tshono ilizwi nje inceku yami izasila.
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.
Ngoba mina ngokwami ngingumuntu ongaphansi komthetho, ngilamabutho angaphansi kwami. Lo ngimtshela ngithi, ‘Hamba,’ ahambe; ngithi kuloyana, ‘Buya,’ lakanye abuye. Ngithi encekwini yami, ‘Yenza lokhu,’ ikwenze.”
9 Jesu wakati anzwa zvinhu izvi, akashamisika naye, akatendeuka, akati kuchaunga chaimutevera: Ndinoti kwamuri: Handina kuwana rutendo rukuru rwakadai kunyange pakati paIsraeri.
UJesu wathi ekuzwa lokhu wamangala ngaye, wasephendukela exukwini labantu ababemlandela wathi, “Ngiyalitshela, kangikaluboni ukholo olukhulu kangaka kanye lako-Israyeli.”
10 Zvino avo vakange vatumwa vodzokera kumba vakawana muranda airwara ava mutano.
Abantu ababethunyiwe babuyela endlini bafica inceku isiziphilela.
11 Zvino zvakaitika zuva raitevera, kuti wakaenda kuguta rainzi Naini; zvino vazhinji vevadzidzi vake nechaunga chikuru vakaenda naye.
Kungakabi yisikhathi eside ngemva kwalokhu, uJesu waya edolobheni okwakuthiwa yiNayini, abafundi bakhe kanye lexuku labantu elikhulu babehamba laye.
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.
Wathi esebanga entubeni yedolobho, khonapho umuntu ofileyo wayethwelwe ekhutshelwa ngaphandle. Indodana eyiyo yodwa kunina njalo unina engumfelokazi. Ixuku elikhulu labantu bedolobheni lalilaye.
13 Zvino Ishe wakati amuona, akamunzwira tsitsi, akati kwaari: Usachema.
Kwathi uJesu embona umfelokazi, wamhawukela wathi kuye, “Ungakhali.”
14 Zvino akaswedera akabata hwanyanza; zvino vatakuri vakamira; akati: Jaya, ndinoti kwauri: Muka!
Wasesondela wathinta ithala elalilesidumbu, kwathi labo ababelithwele bema mpo. Wathi, “Jaha, ngithi kuwe, vuka!”
15 Mushakabvu akamuka ndokugara, akatanga kutaura; akamupa kuna mai vake.
Indoda efileyo yavuka yahlala, yasikhuluma, uJesu wayinika unina.
16 Kutya ndokubata vese; vakarumbidza Mwari, vachiti: Muporofita mukuru wamuka pakati pedu; nekuti: Mwari washanyira vanhu vake.
Bonke bamangala kakhulu badumisa uNkulunkulu. Bathi, “Umphrofethi omkhulu usevelile phakathi kwethu. UNkulunkulu usefikile ukuzasiza abantu bakhe.”
17 Zvino iri shoko maererano naye rikabudira muJudhiya rese nenharaunda yese yakapoteredza.
Udumo lukaJesu lwamemetheka kulolonke elaseJudiya lemangweni wakhona.
18 Vadzidzi vaJohwani ndokumupira zvezvinhu izvozvi zvese.
Abafundi bakaJohane bamtshela ngazozonke lezizinto. Wabiza ababili babo
19 Johwani akadanira kwaari vamwe vaviri vevadzidzi vake, akavatuma kuna Jesu achiti: Imwi ndimwi anouya here, kana tichakataririra umwe?
wabathuma eNkosini ukuyabuza ukuthi, “Unguye yini ozayo, kumbe silindele omunye?”
20 Zvino varume vakati vasvika kwaari, vakati: Johwani Mubhabhatidzi watituma kwamuri achiti: Imwi ndimwi anouya here, kana titaririre umwe?
Amadoda lawo athi efika kuJesu athi, “UJohane uMbhaphathizi usithumile kuwe ukuthi sizobuza sithi, ‘Unguye yini ozayo kumbe silindele omunye’?”
21 Zvino munguva iyoyo akaporesa vazhinji pazvifo neurwere, nepamweya yakaipa; nekumapofu mazhinji akapa kuona.
Ngalesosikhathi uJesu wasilisa abanengi ababelezifo, lemikhuhlane lemimoya emibi, wazivula amehlo iziphofu ezinengi.
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.
UJesu waphendula wathi, “Buyelani liyebikela uJohane lokhu elikubonayo lelikuzwayo ukuthi iziphofu zenziwa zibone, abaqhugezelayo bayahamba, abalobulephero bayahlanjululwa, izacuthe ziyezwa, abafileyo bayavuswa, levangeli liyatshunyayelwa kubayanga.
23 Uye wakaropafadzwa ani nani asingagumbuswi neni.
Ubusisiwe lowomuntu ongakhubekiyo ngenxa yami.”
24 Zvino vatumwa vaJohwani vakati vabva, wakatanga kutaura kuzvaunga pamusoro paJohwani, achiti: Makabudira kurenje kunoonei? Rutsanga rwunozununguswa nemhepo here?
Sezihambile izithunywa zikaJohane uJesu waqala ukukhuluma labantu ngoJohane esithi: “Laphuma lisiyabonani enkangala na? Umhlanga owazunguzwa ngumoya na?
25 Asi makange mabuda kunoonei? Munhu wakapfeka nguvo dzakapfava here? Tarirai, vari munguvo dzinobwinya, vachirarama zvakanaka, vari mudzimba dzemadzimambo.
Nxa kwakungenjalo, pho lalisiyabonani? Indoda eyayicecile na? Hatshi, labo abagqoka izigqoko ezidulayo bazitike ngezinto ezinhle basezigodlweni.
26 Asi makange mabuda kunoonei? Muporofita here? Hongu, ndinoti kwamuri: Kunyange anopfuura zvikuru muporofita.
Kodwa kanti kuyini elaphuma lisiyakubona? Umphrofethi yini? Yebo, ngiyalitshela, omkhulu kulomphrofethi.
27 Uyu ndiye wakanyorwa pamusoro pake, zvichinzi: Tarira, ini ndinotuma mutumwa wangu pamberi pechiso chako, achagadzira nzira yako pamberi pako.
Lo nguye okulotshwe ngaye ukuthi: ‘Ngizathuma isithunywa sami phambi kwakho, esizalungisa indlela yakho phambi kwakho.’
28 Nokuti ndinoti kwamuri: Pakati pevakaberekwa nevakadzi, hakuna muporofita mukuru kuna Johwani Mubhabhatidzi; asi mudikisa muushe hwaMwari mukuru kwaari.
Ngiyalitshela ukuthi kubo abazalwa ngabesifazane kakho omkhulu kuloJohane; ikanti lowo omncinyane kakhulu embusweni kaNkulunkulu mkhulu kulaye.”
29 Zvino vanhu vese nevateresi vakati vachizvinzwa vakati Mwari wakarurama, zvavakange vabhabhatidzwa nerubhabhatidzo rwaJohwani.
(Bonke abantu, kanye labathelisi, bathi sebewazwile amazwi kaJesu bavuma ukuthi indlela kaNkulunkulu yayilungile, ngoba babebhaphathizwe nguJohane.
30 Asi VaFarisi nenyanzvi dzemutemo vakaramba zano raMwari vachizvipikisa, vakasabhabhatidzwa naye.
Kodwa abaFarisi lezazi zomthetho bayala injongo kaNkulunkulu ngabo, ngoba babengabhaphathizwanga nguJohane.)
31 Asi Ishe akati: Zvino vanhu vezera iri ndichavafananidza nei? Vakafanana nei?
UJesu waqhubeka wathi, “Pho ngingabafanisa lani abantu besizukulwane lesi? Bafanana lani?
32 Vakafanana nevana vadiki vagere pamisika vachidanidzirana vachiti: Takakuridzirai nyere asi hamuna kutamba, takakuririrai asi hamuna kuchema.
Banjengabantwana behlezi emkambo bememeza abanye besithi: ‘Salitshayela umhubhe, kodwa kaligidanga, salihlabelela ingoma yesililo, kodwa kalililanga.’
33 Nokuti Johwani Mubhabhatidzi akauya asingadyi chingwa kana kunwa waini, zvino moti: Ane dhimoni;
Ngoba uJohane uMbhaphathizi weza engadli isinkwa njalo enganathi iwayini, lina lithi, ‘Uledimoni.’
34 Mwanakomana wemunhu wauya achidya, achinwa, zvino moti: Tarirai munhu wemakaro nemunwi wewaini, shamwari yevateresi nevatadzi.
INdodana yoMuntu yafika yadla, yanatha, laselisithi, ‘Nansi isidli lesidakwa, umngane wabathelisi lezoni.’
35 Asi uchenjeri hunonzi hwakarurama nevana vahwo vese.
Kodwa ukuhlakanipha kuziveza ukuthi kuqondile ebantwaneni bakho bonke.”
36 Zvino umwe weVaFarisi wakamukumbira kuti adye naye; akapinda mumba memuFarisi, akagara pakudya.
Omunye wabaFarisi wanxusa uJesu ukuzakudla laye isidlo sakusihlwa, ngakho waya endlini yalowo mFarisi wahlala etafuleni.
37 Zvino tarira, mukadzi muguta iro, waiva mutadzi, wakati aziva kuti agere pakudya mumba memuFarisi, akauya nechinu chearibhasiteri chechizoro.
Kwathi owesifazane othile owayephila impilo yesono kulelodolobho esezwile ukuthi uJesu wayesidla endlini yomFarisi weza ephethe imbodlela yamakha,
38 Akamira patsoka dzake mushure make achichema, akatanga kunyorovesa tsoka dzake nemisodzi, akapukuta nevhudzi remusoro wake, ndokutsvoda tsoka dzake ndokudzizodza nechizoro.
kwathi esemi ngemva kukaJesu ngasezinyaweni ekhala, wamanzisa inyawo zakhe ngezinyembezi. Wasezesula inyawo zikaJesu ngenwele zakhe, wazanga wasethela amakha kuzo.
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.
Kwathi lowomFarisi owayemnxusile ekubona lokho wazitshela wathi, “Aluba indoda le ibingumphrofethi, ibizakwazi ukuthi ngubani oyibambabambayo lokuthi umfazi lo uyisoni.”
40 Jesu ndokupindura akati kwaari: Simoni, ndine chekutaura kwauri. Iye ndokuti: Mudzidzisi, revai.
UJesu wamphendula wathi, “Simoni, kukhona engifuna ukukutshela khona.” Wathi, “Ngitshela, mfundisi.”
41 Kwakange kune vakwereti vaviri kune umwe mukweretesi; umwe wakange ane chikwereti chamadhenario mazana mashanu, uye umwe makumi mashanu.
“Amadoda amabili ayelesikwelede semali kumeboleki wemali. Oyedwa wayelesikwelede samadenari angamakhulu amahlanu, omunye esamatshumi amahlanu.
42 Vakati vasina chekuripisa, akavakanganwira vari vaviri. Naizvozvo ndeupi wavo, taura, achamuda kupfuura umwe?
Bobabili babengelayo imali yokumbhadala, ngakho wasewesula umlandu wabo bobabili. Manje nguphi wabo ozamthanda okudlula omunye na?”
43 Simoni akapindura akati: Ndinofunga ndouyo waakakanganwira kupfuura umwe. Akati kwaari: Watonga zvakarurama.
USimoni waphendula wathi, “Ngibona kungathi ngulowo owesulelwa isikwelede esikhulu.” UJesu wathi, “Wahlulele kuhle.”
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.
Wasephendukela kowesifazane wathi kuSimoni, “Uyambona na owesifazane lo? Ngifikile endlini yakho, kawungiphanga amanzi okugeza inyawo zami, kodwa yena uthambise inyawo zami ngezinyembezi zakhe, wazesula ngenwele zakhe.
45 Hauna kunditsvoda, asi iye chinguri chandapinda, haana kumira kutsvoda tsoka dzangu.
Kawunganganga, kodwa owesifazane lo selokhu ngingenileyo lapha akemanga ukwanga inyawo zami.
46 Nemafuta musoro wangu hauna kuuzodza; asi iye wazodza tsoka dzangu nechizoro.
Kawuthelanga amafutha ekhanda lami, kodwa yena uthele amakha ezinyaweni zami.
47 Naizvozvo, ndinoti kwauri: Zvivi zvake zvizhinji zvakanganwirwa, nokuti wada zvikuru; asi anokanganwirwa zvishoma, anoda zvishoma.
Yikho-ke ngiyakutshela ukuthi izono zakhe ezinengi sezithethelelwe, ngoba utshengise uthando olukhulu. Kodwa lowo othethelelwe okuncinyane uthanda kancinyane.”
48 Zvino akati kwaari: Zvivi zvako zvakanganwirwa.
UJesu wasesithi kowesifazane, “Izono zakho sezithethelelwe.”
49 Zvino avo vakange vagere pakudya naye vakatanga kureva mukati mavo, vachiti: Ndiani uyu anokanganwirawo zvivi?
Ezinye izethekeli zasezibuzana zisithi, “Ungubani kanti yena lo oze athethelele izono na?”
50 Akati kumukadzi: Rutendo rwako rwakuponesa; enda nerugare.
UJesu wasesithi kowesifazane, “Ukukholwa kwakho kukusindisile; hamba ngokuthula.”
