¹Vakati vasvika pedo neJerusarema, paBhetifage neBhetaniya, pagomo reMiorivhi, akatuma vaviri vevadzidzi vake,

¹And when they draw nigh unto Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth two of his disciples,

²akati kwavari: Fambai muende kumusha wakatarisana nemwi; pakarepo kana muchangopinda mauri, muchawana dhongwana rakasungirwa, risina munhu wakamborigara; murisunugure, mugouya naro.

²and saith unto them, Go your way into the village that is over against you: and straightway as ye enter into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat; loose him, and bring him.

³Kana munhu akati kwamuri: Munoitirei izvi? Muti: Ishe unorida. Pakarepo ucharitumira pano.

³And if any one say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye, The Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him back hither.

⁴Vakaenda, vakanowana dhongwana rakasungirwa pamukova kunze, panzira yemumusha; vakarisunungura.

⁴And they went away, and found a colt tied at the door without in the open street; and they loose him.

⁵Vamwe vevakange vamirepo vakati kwavari: Munoitei muchisunungura dhongwana?

⁵And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?

⁶Vakavaudza Jesu sezvaakaraira; vakavarega vachiinda.

⁶And they said unto them even as Jesus had said: and they let them go.

⁷Zvino vakauya nedhongwana kuna Jesu, vakakandira nguvo dzavo pamusoro paro, akagara pamusoro paro.

⁷And they bring the colt unto Jesus, and cast on him their garments; and he sat upon him.

⁸Nevazhinji vakawarira nguvo dzavo munzira, nevamwe vakatema masanzu vakawarira munzira.

⁸And many spread their garments upon the way; and others branches, which they had cut from the fields.

⁹Zvino avo vakange vachitungamira nevakange vachitevera vakadanidzira, vachiti: Hosana*! Wakaropafadzwa unouya muzita raIshe;

⁹And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, Hosanna; Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord:

¹⁰hwakaropafadzwa ushe hwaBaba vedu Dhavhidhi, hunouya muzita raIshe! Hosana* kumusoro-soro!

¹⁰Blessed [is] the kingdom that cometh, [the kingdom] of our father David: Hosanna in the highest.

¹¹Jesu ndokupinda muJerusarema, nemutembere; akati aringa-ringa zvinhu zvose, yava nguva yemadekwani, akabuda, akaenda Bhetaniya nevanegumi nevaviri.

¹¹And he entered into Jerusalem, into the temple; and when he had looked round about upon all things, it being now eventide, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.

¹²Uye mangwana vachibuda Bhetaniya, akanzwa nzara.

¹²And on the morrow, when they were come out from Bethany, he hungered.

¹³Wakati achiona muonde uri kure, une mashizha, akaendako achiti zvimwe angawana chinhu pauri; asi asvika pauri haana kuwana chinhu kunze kwemashizha; nekuti yakange isiri nguva yemaonde.

¹³And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find anything thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for it was not the season of figs.

¹⁴Zvino Jesu akapindura, akati kwauri: Kusava nemunhu unozodya zvibereko pauri kubva zvino kusvika kusingaperi. Vadzidzi vake vakazvinzwa.

¹⁴And he answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit from thee henceforward for ever. And his disciples heard it.

¹⁵Vakasvika kuJerusarema; Jesu akapinda mutembere, akatanga kudzingira panze avo vaitengesa nevaitenga mutembere; akapidigura matafura evaitsinhanisa mari, nezvigaro zvaivo vaitengesa njiva.

¹⁵And they come to Jerusalem: and he entered into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and them that bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold the doves;

¹⁶Zvino akasatendera kuti munhu atakure mudziyo achipfuura nemutembere.

¹⁶and he would not suffer that any man should carry a vessel through the temple.

¹⁷Akadzidzisa, achiti kwavari: Hakuna kunyorwa here kuchinzi: Imba yangu ichanzi imba yekunyengetera yemarudzi ose? Asi imwi makaiita bako remakororo.

¹⁷And he taught, and said unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations? but ye have made it a den of robbers.

¹⁸Zvino vanyori nevapristi vakuru vakazvinzwa, vakatsvaka kuti vangamuparadza sei; nekuti vakange vachimutya, nekuti chaunga chose chakashamisika nedzidziso yake.

¹⁸And the chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, for all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.

¹⁹Zvino ava madekwana, wakabuda kunze kweguta.

¹⁹And every evening he went forth out of the city.

²⁰Zvino mangwanani-ngwanani vakati vachipfuura, vakaona muonde waoma kubva pamidzi.

²⁰And as they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots.

²¹Petro akarangarira akati kwaari: Rabhi*, tarirai muonde wamakapa rushambwa wawoma.

²¹And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Rabbi, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.

²²Jesu akapindura akati kwavari: Ivai nerutendo kuna Mwari.

²²And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

²³Nekuti zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Umwe neumwe unoti kugomo iri: Simudzwa, ukandwe mugungwa, asingakononi mumoyo make, asi achitenda kuti zvinhu zvaanoreva zvichaitika, zvichaitika kwaari chero zvaanoreva.

²³Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith cometh to pass; he shall have it.

²⁴Naizvozvo ndinoti kwamuri: Zvinhu zvose chero zvamunokumbira muchinyengetera, tendai kuti muchagamuchira, uye zvichava zvenyu.

²⁴Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

²⁵Kana mumire muchinyengetera, kangamwirai kana mune chakanangana neumwe; kuti Baba venyuwo vari kumatenga vakukangamwirei kudarika kwenyu.

²⁵And whensoever ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any one; that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

²⁶Asi kana imwi musingakangamwiri Baba venyu vari kumatenga havakangamwiriwo kudarika kwenyu.

²⁶[But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your trespasses.]

²⁷Vakasvikazve kuJerusarema; zvino wakati achifamba mutembere, vapristi vakuru nevanyori nevakuru vakauya kwaari,

²⁷And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders;

²⁸zvino vakati kwaari: Unoita zvinhu izvozvi nemasimba api; ndiani wakakupa masimba awa aunoita nawo zvinhu izvi?

²⁸and they said unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? or who gave thee this authority to do these things?

²⁹Jesu akapindura akati kwavari: Iniwo ndichakubvunzai mubvunzo umwe, mundipindure, neni ndichakuudzai kuti ndinoita zvinhu izvozvi nemasimba api.

²⁹And Jesus said unto them, I will ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

³⁰Rubhabhatidzo rwaJohwani rwakabva kudenga, kana kuvanhu? Ndipindurei.

³⁰The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men? answer me.

³¹Vakaonesana, vachiti: Kana tikati: Kudenga, uchati: Makagoregerei kumutenda?

³¹And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; He will say, Why then did ye not believe him?

³²Asi kana tikati: Kuvanhu; vakange vachitya vanhu; nekuti vose vakange vachiverenga Johwani kuti muporofita zvirokwazvo.

³²But should we say, From men--they feared the people: for all verily held John to be a prophet.

³³Vakapindura vachiti kuna Jesu: Hatizivi. Jesu akapindura akati kwavari: Ini handingakuudziyiwo kuti ndinoita zvinhu izvi nesimba ripi.

³³And they answered Jesus and say, We know not. And Jesus saith unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
