¹Zvino wakati kuvadzidzi: Hazvigoneki kuti zvigumbuso zvisauya; asi une nhamo wazvinouya kubudikidza naye.

¹And he said unto the disciples, `It is impossible for the stumbling blocks not to come, but wo [to him] through whom they come;

²Zvaiva nani kwaari kuti guyo rinorema risungirirwe kupoteredza mutsipa wake, ndokukandirwa mugungwa, pakuti agumbuse umwe wevaduku ava.

²it is more profitable to him if a weighty millstone is put round about his neck, and he hath been cast into the sea, than that he may cause one of these little ones to stumble.

³Muzvichenjerere imwi. Zvino kana hama yako ikakutadzira, mutsiure; uye kana akatendeuka, mukangamwire.

³`Take heed to yourselves, and, if thy brother may sin in regard to thee, rebuke him, and if he may reform, forgive him,

⁴Uye kana akutadzira kanomwe pazuva, akadzoka kwauri kanomwe pazuva, achiti: Ndatendeuka; uchamukangamwira.

⁴and if seven times in the day he may sin against thee, and seven times in the day may turn back to thee, saying, I reform; thou shalt forgive him.`

⁵Zvino vaapositori vakati kuna Ishe: Wedzerai kwatiri rutendo.

⁵And the apostles said to the Lord, `Add to us faith;`

⁶Ishe ndokuti: Kana maiva nerutendo rwakaita setsanga yemasitadha, maiti kumuhabhurosi uyu: Dzurwa, usimwe mugungwa; uye waikuteererai.

⁶and the Lord said, `If ye had faith as a grain of mustard, ye would have said to this sycamine, Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea, and it would have obeyed you.

⁷Asi ndeupi kwamuri une muranda unorima kana kufudza, uchati achingopinda achibva kumunda: Swedera ugare pakudya?

⁷`But, who is he of you — having a servant ploughing or feeding — who, to him having come in out of the field, will say, Having come near, recline at meat?

⁸Asi ungarega here kuti kwaari: Gadzira zvandingaraira, uye uzvisunge chiuno, undishandire, kusvikira ndadya, ndikamwa; zvino mushure iwe udye nekumwa?

⁸but will not [rather] say to him, Prepare what I may sup, and having girded thyself about, minister to me, till I eat and drink, and after these things thou shalt eat and drink?

⁹Unotenda muranda uyo nekuti wakaita zvarairwa here? Handifungi.

⁹Hath he favour to that servant because he did the things directed? I think not.

¹⁰Saizvozvo neimwi, kana maita zvose zvamakarairwa, muti: Tiri varanda pasina, nekuti taita zvataifanira kuita.

¹⁰`So also ye, when ye may have done all the things directed you, say — We are unprofitable servants, because that which we owed to do — we have done.`

¹¹Zvino zvakaitika pakuenda kwake kuJerusarema, kuti iye wakapfuura nepakati peSamaria neGarirea.

¹¹And it came to pass, in his going on to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee,

¹²Zvino wakati achipinda mune umwe musha, varume gumi vaiva nemaperembudzi vakasangana naye, vamire kure.

¹²and he entering into a certain village, there met him ten leprous men, who stood afar off,

¹³Zvino ivo vakasimudza inzwi, vachiti: Jesu, Tenzi, tinzwirei tsitsi!

¹³and they lifted up the voice, saying, `Jesus, master, deal kindly with us;`

¹⁴Zvino wakati achivaona, akati kwavari: Endai munozviratidza kuvapristi. Zvino zvakaitika kuti vachienda, vakanatswa.

¹⁴and having seen [them], he said to them, `Having gone on, shew yourselves to the priests;` and it came to pass, in their going, they were cleansed,

¹⁵Zvino umwe wavo paakaona kuti aporeswa, wakadzoka achikudza Mwari nenzwi guru;

¹⁵and one of them having seen that he was healed did turn back, with a loud voice glorifying God,

¹⁶ndokuwira pasi nechiso patsoka dzake, achimuvonga; zvino iye wakange ari muSamaria.

¹⁶and he fell upon [his] face at his feet, giving thanks to him, and he was a Samaritan.

¹⁷Asi Jesu wakapindura akati: Vanga vasiri gumi here vanatswa? Ko vapfumbamwe varipi?

¹⁷And Jesus answering said, `Were not the ten cleansed, and the nine — where?

¹⁸Hapana kuwanikwa vadzokera kuzopa Mwari rukudzo, kunze kweuyu mutorwa.

¹⁸There were not found who did turn back to give glory to God, except this alien;`

¹⁹Zvino akati kwaari: Simuka, enda; rutendo rwako rwakuponesa.

¹⁹and he said to him, `Having risen, be going on, thy faith hath saved thee.`

²⁰Zvino wakati achibvunzwa nevaFarisi, kuti ushe hwaMwari hwunosvika rinhi, akavapindura akati: Ushe hwaMwari hahwuuyi nekuonekwa;

²⁰And having been questioned by the Pharisees, when the reign of God doth come, he answered them, and said, `The reign of God doth not come with observation;

²¹uye havangati: Tarirai pano; kana: Tarira uko. Nekuti tarirai, ushe hwaMwari hwuri mukati menyu.

²¹nor shall they say, Lo, here; or lo, there; for lo, the reign of God is within you.`

²²Zvino wakati kuvadzidzi: Mazuva achasvika amuchashuva kuona rimwe ramazuva eMwanakomana wemunhu, asi hamungarioni.

²²And he said unto his disciples, `Days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and ye shall not behold [it];

²³Zvino vachati kwamuri: Tarirai pano; kana: Tarirai uko; regai kuenda, kana kutevera.

²³and they shall say to you, Lo, here; or lo, there; ye may not go away, nor follow;

²⁴Nekuti semheni inopenya ichibva kune rumwe rutivi pasi pedenga ichivhenekera kusvikira kune rumwe rutivi pasi pedenga, saizvozvo zvichaitawo Mwanakomana wemunhu nezuva rake.

²⁴for as the lightning that is lightening out of the one [part] under heaven, to the other part under heaven doth shine, so shall be also the Son of Man in his day;

²⁵Asi kutanga unofanira kutambudzika zvinhu zvizhinji, nekurambwa nezera iri.

²⁵and first it behoveth him to suffer many things, and to be rejected by this generation.

²⁶Uye sezvazvakange zvakaita mumazuva aNowa, ndizvo zvazvichavawo mazuva eMwanakomana wemunhu.

²⁶`And, as it came to pass in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of Man;

²⁷Vaidya, vaimwa, vaiwana, vachiwaniswa, kusvikira zuva iro Nowa raakapinda naro muareka, mafashame akasvika, ndokuvaparadza vose.

²⁷they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were given in marriage, till the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the deluge came, and destroyed all;

²⁸Saizvozvowo sezvazvakange zvakaita mumazuva aRoti; vaidya, vaimwa, vaitenga, vaitengesa, vaidzvara, vaivaka;

²⁸in like manner also, as it came to pass in the days of Lot; they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building;

²⁹asi nemusi Roti waakabuda muSodoma, kwakanaya moto nesarufa zvichibva kudenga, zvikaparadza vose.

²⁹and on the day Lot went forth from Sodom, He rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed all.

³⁰Zvichava seizvi nezuva Mwanakomana wemunhu raachabudiswa pachena naro.

³⁰`According to these things it shall be, in the day the Son of Man is revealed;

³¹Muzuva iro, uyo uchava pamusoro pedenga reimba, nenhumbi dzake dziri mumba, ngaarege kuburuka kundodzitora; neuri kumunda saizvozvo ngaarege kudzokera zvinhu zviri shure.

³¹in that day, he who shall be on the house top, and his vessels in the house, let him not come down to take them away; and he in the field, in like manner, let him not turn backward;

³²Yeukai mukadzi waRoti.

³²remember the wife of Lot.

³³Ani nani unotsvaka kuponesa upenyu hwake ucharashikirwa nahwo, uye ani nani unorashikirwa nahwo uchahwuraramisa.

³³Whoever may seek to save his life, shall lose it; and whoever may lose it, shall preserve it.

³⁴Ndinoti kwamuri: Muusiku uhwo kuchava nevaviri pamubhedha umwe; umwe uchatorwa, uye umwe uchasiiwa.

³⁴`I say to you, In that night, there shall be two men on one couch, the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left;

³⁵Vaviri vachava vachikuya pamwe, umwe uchatorwa, uye umwe uchasiiwa.

³⁵two women shall be grinding at the same place together, the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left;

³⁶Vaviri vachava mumunda; umwe uchatorwa, uye umwe asiiwe.

³⁶two men shall be in the field, the one shall be taken, and the other left.`

³⁷Zvino vakapindura vakati kwaari: Kupi Ishe? Ndokuti kwavari: Pane mutumbi, ndipo pachaunganidzwa magora.

³⁷And they answering say to him, `Where, sir?` and he said to them, `Where the body [is], there will the eagles be gathered together.`
