1Zvino wakati asimukapo, akauya kumiganhu yeJudhiya, achigura nemhiri kwaJoridhani; chaunga chikaunganirazve kwaari; akapamha kuvavadzidzisa zvose sezvaakange ajaira.
1And he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judaea by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again.
2VaFarisi vakauya kwaari, vakamubvunza vachiti: Zviri pamutemo here kuti murume arambe mukadzi? vachimuidza.
2And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him.
3Akapindura, akati kwavari: Mozisi wakakurairai chii?
3And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?
4Zvino vakati: Mozisi wakatendera kunyora rugwaro rwerambano, nekumuramba.
4And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.
5Jesu akapindura akati kwavari: Nekuda kweukukutu hwemoyo yenyu, wakakunyorerai murairo uyu.
5And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.
6Asi kubva pakutanga kwezvisikwa, Mwari wakavaita murume nemukadzi.
6But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
7Nekuda kweizvozvo munhu uchasiya baba namai vake, anamatire mukadzi wake;
7For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;
8zvino avo vaviri vachava nyama imwe. Naizvozvo havasichiri vaviri, asi nyama imwe.
8And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.
9Naizvozvo Mwari zvaakabatanidza, ngapasava nemunhu unoparadzanisa.
9What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
10Mumba vadzidzi vake vakapamha kumubvunza pamusoro pazvo.
10And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter.
11Zvino akati kwavari: Ani nani unoramba mukadzi wake, akawana umwe, unoita upombwe kwaari.
11And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.
12Uye kana mukadzi achiramba murume wake, achiwanikwa neumwe, unoita upombwe.
12And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
13Zvino vakauya nevana vaduku kwaari, kuti avabate; asi vadzidzi vakatsiura avo vaiuya navo.
13And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.
14Zvino Jesu wakati achizviona, akatsamwa zvikuru, akati kwavari: Tenderai vana vaduku kuuya kwandiri, uye musavadzivisa, nekuti ushe hwaMwari ndohwevakadai.
14But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
15Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Ani nani usingagamuchiri ushe hwaMwari semucheche, haangatongopindi mahuri.
15Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
16Uye akavagumbatira, achiisa maoko pamusoro pavo, akavaropafadza.
16And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.
17Zvino wakati achibudira kunzira, umwe wakamumhanyira, akamufugamira akamubvunza, achiti: Mudzidzisi wakanaka, ndingaitei kuti ndigare nhaka yeupenyu husingaperi?
17And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?
18Jesu akati kwaari: Unondiidzirei wakanaka? Hakuna wakanaka, kunze kweumwe, iye Mwari.
18And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.
19Unoiziva mirairo inoti: Usaita upombwe, usauraya, usaba, usapupura nhema, usabiridzira, kudza baba namai vako.
19Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.
20Zvino akapindura akati kwaari: Mudzidzisi, izvi zvose ndakazvichengeta kubva pauduku hwangu.
20And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.
21Jesu ndokumutarira akamuda, akati kwaari: Chinhu chimwe chaunoshaiwa; enda, utengese zvose zvaunazvo, upe varombo, zvino uchava nefuma kudenga; ugouya utakure muchinjikwa, unditevere.
21Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
22Asi atsamwa neshoko iro, wakaenda neshungu, nekuti wakange ane nhumbi zhinji.
22And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.
23Ipapo Jesu akaringa-ringa, akati kuvadzidzi vake: Vacharemerwa sei vane fuma kupinda muushe hwaMwari!
23And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
24Vadzidzi vakashamisika nemashoko ake. Asi Jesu wakapindurazve, akati kwavari: Vana, zvinorema sei kune vanovimba nefuma kupinda muushe hwaMwari;
24And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!
25zvingarerukira kamera kudarika nemuburi retsono, pane kuti mufumi apinde muushe hwaMwari.
25It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26Ipapo vakashamisika zvisingaverengeki, vachitaurirana vachiti: Ndiani zvino ungagoponeswa?
26And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?
27Zvino Jesu wakati achivatarira, akati: Kuvanhu hazvibviri, asi kwete kuna Mwari; nekuti kuna Mwari zvinhu zvose zvinobvira.
27And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
28Petro akatanga kuti kwaari: Tarira, isu takasiya zvose tikakuteverai.
28Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.
29Jesu akapindura akati: Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Hakuna munhu wakasiya imba, kana vanin'ina nemadzikoma, kana hanzvadzi, kana baba, kana mai, kana mukadzi, kana vana, kana minda, nekuda kwangu nekweevhangeri,
29And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,
30usingazogamuchiri kane zana ikozvino nenguva ino, dzimba, nevanin'ina nemadzikoma, nehanzvadzi, nanamai, nevana, neminda; pamwe nekushushwa, neupenyu husingaperi munguva inouya.
30But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.
31Asi vazhinji vekutanga vachava vekupedzisira, nevekupedzira vekutanga.
31But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.
32Zvino vachiri munzira vachikwira kuJerusarema; Jesu akavatungamirira; vakashamisika; zvino pavaitevera, vaitya. Akatorazve vanegumi nevaviri, akatanga kuvaudza zvinhu zvakange zvichizoitika,
32And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen unto him,
33achiti: Tarirai, tinokwira kuJerusarema, uye Mwanakomana wemunhu uchakumikidzwa kuvapristi vakuru nekuvanyori, uye vachamutongera rufu, nekumukumikidza kuvahedheni,
33Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles:
34vachamusveveredza, vachamurova netyava, nekumupfira, nekumuuraya; zvino nezuva retatu uchamukazve.
34And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.
35Zvino Jakobho naJohwani, vanakomana vaZebhedhi, vakauya kwaari vachiti: Mudzidzisi, tinoda kuti mutiitire chero chatichakumbira.
35And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire.
36Akati kwavari: Chii chamunoda kuti ndikuitirei?
36And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?
37Vakati kwaari: Tipei kuti tigare, umwe kuruoko rwenyu rwerudyi, uye umwe kuruboshwe rwenyu mukubwinya kwenyu.
37They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.
38Asi Jesu wakati kwavari: Hamuzivi chamunokumbira. Mungagona kumwa mukombe wandinomwa ini here? nekubhabhatidzwa norubhabhatidzo rwandinobhabhatidzwa narwo ini here?
38But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?
39Vakati kwaari: Tingagona. Jesu akati kwavari: Muchamwa zvirokwazvo mukombe wandinomwa ini, nekubhabhatidzwa norubhabhatidzo rwandinobhabhatidzwa narwo ini;
39And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:
40asi kugara kuruoko rwangu rwerudyi nekuruboshwe rwangu, hazvisi zvangu kupa, asi zvevakazvigadzirirwa.
40But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared.
41Vanegumi vakati vachizvinzwa, vakatanga kutsamwira zvikuru Jakobho naJohwani.
41And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and John.
42Asi Jesu akavadanira kwaari akati kwavari: Munoziva kuti avo vanonzi machinda evahedheni anovadzvinyirira, nevakuru vavo vanoshandisa simba pamusoro pavo.
42But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them.
43Zvino hazvingadaro pakati penyu; asi ani nani unoda kuva mukuru pakati penyu, ngaave mushandiri wenyu;
43But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister:
44ani nani wenyu unoda kuva wokutanga, ngaave mushandi wevose.
44And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.
45Nekuti kunyange Mwanakomana wemunhu haana kuuya kuzoshumirwa, asi kushumira, nekupa upenyu hwake ruve rudzikunuro rwevazhinji.
45For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
46Vakasvika Jeriko; zvino wakati achibuda Jeriko nevadzidzi vake nechaunga chikuru, Bhatimio bofu, mwanakomana waTimio, akange agere padivi penzira achipemha.
46And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging.
47Wakati anzwa kuti ndiJesu weNazareta, akatanga kudanidzira nekuti: Jesu Mwanakomana waDhavhidhi, ndinzwirei tsitsi!
47And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.
48Vazhinji vakamutsiura kuti anyarare; asi iye wakanyanya kudanidzira kwazvo, achiti: Mwanakomana waDhavhidhi, ndinzwirei tsitsi!
48And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.
49Jesu ndokuramba amire, akati adamwe; vakadana bofu vachiti kwariri: Tsunga moyo; simuka, unokudana.
49And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.
50Ipapo rikarasha nguvo yaro rikasimuka, rikauya kuna Jesu.
50And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.
51Jesu akapindura, akati kwariri: Unoda kuti ndikuitirei? Bofu rikati kwaari: Rabhoni*, kuti ndionezve.
51And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.
52Jesu akati kwariri: Enda; rutendo rwako rwakuponesa. Pakarepo rikaonazve, rikatevera Jesu munzira.
52And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
