Zvino Jesu wakapinda Jeriko, akapfuvura napakati.And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
Zvino murume waivapo, wainzi Zakeo; iye wakanga ari mukuru wavateresi, vuye waiva mufumi;And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
akatsvaka kuvona Jesu, kuti ndiye ani; asi wakanga asingagoni, nokuti wakanga akafupika.And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.
Ipapo akamhanyira mberi, akakwira mumuvonde kuti amuvone, nokuti wakanga opfuvura napo.And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.
Zvino Jesu wakati achisvikapo akatarira kumsoro, akamuvona akati kwaari: Zakeo, kurumidza uburuke; nokuti nhasi ndinofanira kugara mumba mako.And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.
Iye akakurumidza kuburuka, akamugamuchira nomufaro.And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
Vose vakazvivona, vakan’un’una, vachiti: Wapinda kundogara nomurume uri mutadzi.And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
Ipapo Zakeo akamira, akati kunaShe; Tarirai, Ishe, hafu yefuma yangu,ndinoipa varombo, vuye kana ndatorera mumwe chinhu chake nokunyengera, ndinomudzosera zvava zvina.And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.
Jesu akati kwaari: Nhasi ruponeso rwasvika paimba ino; nokuti naiye vo mwanakomana waAbhurahamu.And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
Nokuti Mwanakomana womunhu wakavuya kuzotsvaka nokuponesa chakarashika.For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
Vakati vachanzwa izvozvo, akawedzera akataura mumwe mufananidzo, nokuti wakanga ava pedo neJerusarema, ivo vakati vushe bwaMwari bwobva bwovonekwa pakarepo.And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
Naizvozvo akati: Mumwe munhu mukuru wakaenda kunyika yakanga iri kure, kuti andopiwa vushe, agodzoka zve.He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
Akadana varanda vake vanegumi, akavapa pondo dzinegumi, akati kwavari: Shambadzirai, kusvikira ndichivuya zve.And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
Asi vanhu venyika yake vakanga vachimuvenga, vakatuma nhume kumutevera, kundoti: Hatidi kuti uyu munhu ave ishe wedu.But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.
Zvino wakati adzoka kuya kwaakanga andopiwa vushe, akaraira kuti vaya varanda vaakanga apa mari, vadanirwe kwaari, anzwe kuti mumwe nomumwe wakawanei nokushambadzira kwake.And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
Wokutanga akasvika, akati: ishe, pondo yenyu yakawana dzimwe pondo dzinegumi zve.Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
Akati kwaari: Zvakanaka, muranda wakanaka; zvawakanga wakatendeka pazviduku-duku, ubate maguta anegumi.And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
Wechipiri akasvika, akati: Ishe, pondo yenyu yakawedzera zve pondo shanu.And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
Akati kwaari vo: Newe, ubate maguta mashanu.And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
Zvino mumwe akasvika, akati: Ishe, tarirai pondo yenyu heyi. Yandakanga ndachengeta mumucheka.And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
nokuti; ndakanga ndichikutyai,zvamuri munhu unehasha munotora zvamusakaisapo, munocheka zvamusakakusha.For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.
Akati kwaari: Ndichakutonga namashoko ako amene, iwe muranda wakaipa! Wakanga uchiziva kuti ndiri munhu unehasha, ndichitora zvandisakaisa, ndichicheka zvandisakakusha;And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:
zvino wakaregereiko kuisa mari yangu mubhanga, ndikazoitora pakudzoka kwangu yawanda.Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?
Ipapo akati kunavakanga vamirepo: Munotorerei pondo iyo, muipe unepondo dzinegumi.And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.
Vakati kwaari: Ishe, watova nepondo dzinegumi.(And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
Ndinoti kwamuri: Mumwe nomumwe unechinhu, uchapiwa; asi usina, uchatorerwa nezvaanazvo.For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.
Asi vavengi vangu avo, vakanga vasingadi kuti ndive ishe wavo, vuyai navo pano, muvavuraye pamberi pangu.But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
Wakati areva izvozvo, akatungamira mberi, achikwira Jerusarema.And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.
Wakati oswedera Betifage neBetania, kugomo rinonzi reMiorivhi, akatuma vadzidzi vake vaviri,And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
achiti: Endai kumusha wakatarisana nemi; kana muchipinda mauri, muchawana mhuru yembongoro yakasungirwa, isina kumbotaswa nomunhu; muisunungure, mugovuya nayo.Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither.
Kana mumwe akakubvunzai, achiti: Munoisunungurireiko? Muti kwaari kudai: Ishe unoida.And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.
Avo vakatumwa vakaenda, vakandowana sezvaakanga avavudza.And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.
Zvino vakati vachisunungura mhuru, vene vayo vakati kwavari: Munosunungurireiko mhuru?And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?
Vakati: Ishe unoida.And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
Vakavuya nayo kuna Jesu, vakaisa nguvo dzavo pamusoro pemhuru, vakatasvisa Jesu pamusoro payo.And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.
Zvino achifamba, vakawarira nguvo dzavo munzira.And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
Akati oswedera pamaburusiro egomo reMiorivhi, vadzidzi vake vazhinji vose vakatanga kufara nokurumbidza Mwari nenzwi guru pamusoro pamabasa ose esimba avakanga vavona.And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;
vachiti: Mambo ngaakudzwe, iye unovuya muzita raShe! Rugare ngaruve kudenga, nokubwinya kumuso-soro!Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
Vamwe vaFarise pakati pavazhinji vakati kwaari: Mudzidzisi, rairai vadzidzi venyu!And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
Akapindura, akati: Ndinokuvudzai, kana ava vakanyarara, mabwe angadanidzira.And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
Zvino wakati aswedera pedo, akavona guta, akachema pamusoro paro,And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
achiti: Dai waiziva iwe zuva rino zvinhu zvingakupa rugare, asi zvino zvakavanzirwa meso ako!Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.
Nokuti uchasvikirwa namazuva, auchavakirwa nawo muchinjiziri navavengi vako, vachakukomba, nokukumanikidza pamativi ose;For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,
vachakuparadzira pasi, iwe navana vako mukati mako; havangaregi mukati mako ibwe rimwe riri pamusoro perimwe; nokuti hauna kuziva nguva yokushanyirwa kwako.And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
Zvino wakapinda mutembere, akatanga kubudisira kunze vakanga vachitengesamo,And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;
achiti kwavari: Kwakanyorwa kuti imba yangu ichava imba yokunyengetera; asi imi makaiita bako ramakororo.Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.
Waidzidzisa zuva rimwe nerimwe mutembere; asi vaPirisita vakuru navanyori navakuru vavanhu vakanga vachitsvaka kumuvuraya.And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,
Asi vakanga vasingawani zvavangaita, nokuti vanhu vose vakamunamatira, vachimunzwa..And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
