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

¹And when they draw near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sends 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 says to them, Go into the village which is over against you, and immediately on entering into it ye will find a colt tied, upon which no [child] of man has ever sat: loose it and lead it [here].

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

³And if any one say to you, Why do ye this? say, The Lord has need of it; and straightway he sends it hither.

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

⁴And they departed, and found a colt bound to the door without at the crossway, and they loose him.

⁵Vamwe vevakange vamirepo vakati kwavari: Munoitei muchisunungura dhongwana?

⁵And some of those who stood there said to them, What are ye doing, loosing the colt?

⁶Vakavaudza Jesu sezvaakaraira; vakavarega vachiinda.

⁶And they said to them as Jesus had commanded. And they let them [do it].

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

⁷And they led the colt to Jesus, and cast their clothes upon it, and he sat on it;

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

⁸and many strewed their clothes on the way, and others cut down branches from the trees [and went on strewing them on the way].

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

⁹And those going on before and those following cried out, Hosanna! blessed [be] he that comes in [the] Lord's name.

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

¹⁰Blessed [be] the coming 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 and into the temple; and having looked round on all things, the hour being already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

¹²Uye mangwana vachibuda Bhetaniya, akanzwa nzara.

¹²And on the morrow, when they were gone out of 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 from afar off a fig-tree which had leaves, he came, if perhaps he might find something on it. And having come up to it he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the time of figs.

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

¹⁴And answering he said to it, Let no one eat fruit of thee any more 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 entering into the temple, he began to cast out those who sold and who bought in the temple, and he overthrew the tables of the moneychangers and the seats of the dove-sellers,

¹⁶Zvino akasatendera kuti munhu atakure mudziyo achipfuura nemutembere.

¹⁶and suffered not that any one should carry any package 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 saying to 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 they sought how they might destroy him; for they feared him, because all the crowd were astonished at his doctrine.

¹⁹Zvino ava madekwana, wakabuda kunze kweguta.

¹⁹And when it was evening he went forth without the city.

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

²⁰And passing by early in the morning they saw the fig-tree dried up from the roots.

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

²¹And Peter, remembering [what Jesus had said], says to him, Rabbi, see, the fig-tree which thou cursedst is dried up.

²²Jesu akapindura akati kwavari: Ivai nerutendo kuna Mwari.

²²And Jesus answering says to 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 to you, that whosoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou taken away and cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart, but believe that what he says takes place, whatever he shall say shall come to pass for him.

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

²⁴For this reason I say to you, All things whatsoever ye pray for and ask, believe that ye receive it, and it shall come to pass for you.

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

²⁵And when ye stand praying, forgive if ye have anything against any one, that your Father also who is in the heavens may forgive you your offences.

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

²⁶But if *ye* do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in the heavens forgive your offences.

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

²⁷And they come again to Jerusalem. And as he walked about in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders come to him,

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

²⁸and they say to him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority, that thou shouldest do these things?

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

²⁹And Jesus answering said to them, *I* also will ask you one thing, 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 of heaven, or of men? answer me.

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

³¹And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we should say, Of heaven, he will say, Why [then] have ye not believed him?

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

³²but should we say, Of men -- they feared the people; for all held of John that he was truly a prophet.

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

³³And they answering say to Jesus, We do not know. And Jesus [answering] says to them, Neither do *I* tell you by what authority I do these things.
