Luke 17
1 And he said to his disciples, It is impossible for the stumbling-blocks not to come, but woe to him through whom they come!
Jesu akati kuvadzidzi vake, “Zvinhu zvinoita kuti vanhu vatadze zvinototi zviuye, asi ane nhamo munhu uyo anouya nazvo.
2 It is better for him if a donkey-powered millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.
Zvaiva nani kwaari kuti guyo risungirirwe pamutsipa wake agokandwa mugungwa pano kuti atadzise mumwe wavaduku ava.
3 Take heed to yourselves. And if thy brother should sin against thee, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him.
Saka zvingwarirei. “Kana hama yako ichitadza, itsiure, uye kana akatendeuka, umuregerere.
4 And if he should sin against thee seven times in the day, and seven times in the day turn back, saying, I repent, thou will forgive him.
Kana akakutadzira kanomwe pazuva, uye akadzoka kwauri kanomwe achiti, ‘Ndatendeuka,’ muregerere.”
5 And the apostles said to the Lord, Increase faith for us.
Vapostori vakati kuna She, “Tiwedzereiwo kutenda kwedu!”
6 And the Lord said, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard plant, ye would say to this sycamine tree, Be thou uprooted and be planted in the sea, and it would have obeyed you.
Iye akati, “Kana muno kutenda kuduku duku setsanga yemasitadhi, munogona kuti kumuti womuonde uyu, ‘Dzurwa usimwe mugungwa,’ uye uchakuteererai.
7 But which of you having a bondman plowing or feeding livestock, who, when he comes in from the field, will straightaway say, After coming near, sit down?
“Ngatitii mumwe wenyu anga aine muranda anorima kana kuti anofudza makwai. Angati here kumuranda paanopinda achibva kumunda, ‘Uya pano iye zvino ugare pasi udye’?
8 Will he not rather say to him, Prepare what I may dine, and having gird thyself, serve me until I eat and drink, and after these things thou will eat and drink?
Ko, haangati here, ‘Ndigadzirire chokudya changu, uzvigadzirire iwe ugondimirira pandinenge ndichidya nokunwa; shure kwaizvozvo iwe ungazodya hako nokunwa’?
9 Does he have a favor for that bondman because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.
Ko, angavonga muranda nokuda kwokuti akaita zvaakaudzwa here?
10 Thus ye also, when ye did all the things that were commanded you, say, We are unprofitable bondmen, because we have done what we are obligated to do.
Saka nemiwo, pamunenge maita zvose zvamakaudzwa kuti muite, munofanira kuti, ‘Tiri varanda vasina maturo; tangoita zvatanga tichifanira kuita.’”
11 And it came to pass as he went to Jerusalem, that he was passing through the middle of Samaria and Galilee.
Zvino ari munzira achienda kuJerusarema, Jesu akafamba achitevedza muganhu waiva pakati peSamaria neGarirea.
12 And as he entered into a certain village, ten leprous men who stood from afar met him.
Paakanga opinda mumusha, varume gumi vaiva namaperembudzi vakasangana naye. Vakamira vari nechokure
13 And they raised a voice, saying, Jesus, Master, be merciful to us.
uye vakadanidzira nenzwi guru vachiti, “Jesu, Tenzi, tinzwireiwo ngoni!”
14 And when he saw them, he said to them, After departing, display yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, during their going they were cleansed.
Akati achivaona, akati kwavari, “Endai munozviratidza kuvaprista.” Uye pavaienda, vakabva vanatswa.
15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back with a great voice glorifying God.
Mumwe wavo akati aona kuti akanga aporeswa, akadzoka achirumbidza Mwari nenzwi guru.
16 And he fell upon his face beside his feet giving him thanks. And he was a Samaritan.
Akazviwisira patsoka dzaJesu akamuvonga. Uye akanga ari muSamaria.
17 And having answered, Jesus said, Were not the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?
Jesu akati, “Ko, havasi vose gumi vakaporeswa here? Ko, vamwe vapfumbamwe varipi?
18 Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner?
Kwashayikwa mumwe woga adzoka akazorumbidza Mwari kunze kwouyu mutorwa here?”
19 And he said to him, After rising, go. Thy faith has healed thee.
Ipapo akati kwaari, “Simuka uende; kutenda kwako kwakuporesa.”
20 And questioned by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God comes, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God does not come with observation,
Akati abvunzwa navaFarisi kuti umambo hwaMwari hwaizosvika riini, Jesu akapindura akati, “Umambo hwaMwari hahuuyi nokunyatsocherechedza kwenyu,
21 nor will they say, Lo, here! or, Lo, there! For behold, the kingdom of God is inside of you.
uye vanhu havangati, ‘Hohuno pano’ kana kuti ‘Uho uko,’ nokuti umambo hwaMwari huri mamuri.”
22 And he said to the disciples, The days will come when ye will long to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye will not see it.
Ipapo akati kuvadzidzi vake, “Nguva iri kuuya yamuchashuva kuona rimwe ramazuva oMwanakomana woMunhu, asi hamuzorioni.
23 And they will say to you, Lo, here! Lo, there! Do not depart, nor pursue.
Vanhu vachati kwamuri, ‘Hoyo uko!’ kana kuti ‘Houno pano!’ Musamhanya muchivatevera.
24 For just as the lightning, its flashing from under the sky to under the sky, illuminates, so will the Son of man be in his day.
Nokuti semheni inopenya ichivhenekera muchadenga ichibva kuno rumwe rutivi ichienda kuno rumwe rutivi, ndizvo zvichaita Mwanakomana woMunhu pazuva rake.
25 But first it is necessary for him to suffer many things and be rejected from this generation.
Asi anofanira kutanga kumbotambudzika zvikuru uye acharambwa norudzi urwu.
26 And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so also it will be in the days of the Son of man.
“Sezvazvakanga zvakaita pamazuva aNoa, ndizvo zvazvichaitawo mumazuva oMwanakomana woMunhu.
27 They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
Vanhu vaidya, vachinwa, vachiwana nokuwaniswa kusvikira zuva rakapinda Noa muareka. Ipapo mafashamu akasvika akavaparadza vose.
28 And likewise as it happened in the days of Lot. They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built.
“Zvakanga zvakadarowo pamazuva aRoti. Vanhu vakanga vachidya nokunwa, vachitonga nokutongesa, vachidyara nokuvaka.
29 But in that day Lot went out from Sodom he rained fire and brimstone from the sky, and destroyed them all.
Asi pazuva rakabuda Roti muSodhomu, moto nesuriferi zvakanaya, zvichibva kudenga zvikavaparadza vose.
30 It will be according to these things in that day the Son of man is revealed.
“Zvichaita saizvozvo pazuva iro Mwanakomana woMunhu acharatidzwa.
31 In that day, he who will be on the housetop, and his vessels in the house, let him not go down to take them up. And let him who is in the field likewise not return for the things behind.
Pazuva iro hakuna munhu ari pamusoro pedenga remba, ane nhumbi dzake mukati memba, anofanira kuburuka kuti andodzitora. Saizvozvowo, hakuna munhu ari kumunda achadzokera chinhu chero chipi zvacho.
32 Remember Lot's wife.
Rangarirai mukadzi waRoti!
33 Whoever will seek to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose it will keep it alive.
Ani naani anoedza kuchengetedza upenyu hwake acharasikirwa nahwo, uye ani naani anorasikirwa noupenyu hwake achahuponesa.
34 I say to you, in that night there will be two in one bed. The one man will be taken, and the other man will be left.
Ndinoti kwamuri, pazuva iro vanhu vaviri vachange vari pamubhedha mumwe; mumwe achatorwa mumwe achisiyiwa.
35 Two will be grinding together. The one woman will be taken, and the other woman will be left.
Vakadzi vaviri vachange vachikuya zviyo pamwe chete; mumwe achatorwa uye mumwe achasiyiwa.
36 This verse is not in the majority of the Greek manuscripts.
Varume vachange vari mumunda, mumwe achatorwa uye mumwe achasiyiwa.”
37 And having answered, they say to him, Where, Lord? And he said to them, Where the body is, there the vultures will be gathered together.
Vakamubvunza vakati, “Kupiko Ishe?” Akapindura akati, “Pano mutumbi, ndipo panoungana magora.”
