3 Ipapo akavaudza zvinhu zvizhinji nemifananidzo, achiti, "Murimi akabuda kundokusha mbeu dzake. 4 Paakanga achikusha mbeu, dzimwe dzakawira munzira, shiri dzikauya dzikadzidya. 5 Dzimwe dzakawira parukangarahwe, padzakashaya ivhu rakakwana.

25 Mumwe musi mududziri womurayiro akasimuka kuti aedze Jesu. Akati, "Mudzidzisi ndinofanira kuiteiko kuti ndiwane nhaka youpenyu husingaperi?"

26 Iye akapindura akati, "Mumurayiro makanyorweiko? Unouverenga seiko?"

27 Akapindura akati, " ‘Ida Ishe Mwari wako nomwoyo wako wose, uye nomweya wako wose, uye nesimba rako rose nokufunga kwako kwose,’ uye ‘Ida muvakidzani wako sokuda kwaunozviita iwe.’ "

28 Jesu akapindura akati, "Wapindura zvakanaka. Ita izvozvo ugorarama."

29 Asi iye akanga achida kuzviruramisa, saka akabvunza Jesu akati, "Muvakidzani wangu ndianiko?"

30 Jesu akapindura akati, "Mumwe murume aiburuka achibva kuJerusarema achienda kuJeriko, paakawira mumaoko amakororo. Vakamubvisa nguo dzake, vakamurova ndokuenda zvavo, vachimusiya oda kufa. 31 Zvakaitika kuti mumwe muprista akafambawo nenzira iyoyo, uye akati achiona murume uyo, akamunyenyeredza. 32 Saizvozvowo, muRevhi akasvika panzvimbo iyoyo akamuona, akamunyenyeredzawo. 33 Asi muSamaria, aiva parwendo, akasvika pakanga pano murume uya; uye akati achimuona, akamunzwira tsitsi. 34 Akaenda paari akamusunga maronda ake, akaadira mafuta newaini. Ipapo akamutora akamukwidza pambongoro yake, akamuendesa kuimba yavaeni, akamuchengeta. 35 Fume mangwana akatora mari yesirivha akaipa kumuchengeti weimba yavaeni. Akati kwaari, ‘Muchengetei uye pandinodzoka, ndichakuripirai zvose zvamunenge mawedzera pane zvandakupai.’

36 "Ndianiko pavanhu vatatu ava waunofunga kuti akanga ari muvakidzani kuna iye akawira mumaoko amakororo?"

37 Mududziri womurayiro akati, "Uyo akamunzwira tsitsi."

Jesu akati kwaari, "Enda unoita saizvozvo."

4 "Ndianiko pakati penyu kana ane makwai zana, rimwe racho kana rikarasika, asingasiyi makumi mapfumbamwe namapfumbamwe kumafuro achindotsvaka gwai rakarasika kusvikira ariwana? 5 Uye kana ariwana, anoritakura pamapfudzi ake nomufaro 6 agoenda kumba. Ipapo anodana shamwari dzake navavakidzani pamwe chete agoti kwavari, ‘Farai pamwe chete neni nokuti ndawana gwai rangu rakanga rarasika.’ 7 Ndinoti kwamuri, saizvozvo mufaro mukuru uchava kudenga pamusoro pomutadzi mumwe chete anenge atendeuka, kupfuura pamusoro pavakarurama makumi mapfumbamwe navapfumbamwe vasingatsvaki kutendeuka.

11 Jesu akaenderera mberi akati: "Pakanga pano mumwe murume akanga ane vanakomana vake vaviri. 12 Muduku wacho akati kuna baba vake, ‘Baba, ndipei mugove wenhaka yangu.’ Saka baba vakakamura pfuma yavo vakavagovanisa pakati pavo.

13 "Mazuva mashoma asati apera, mwanakomana muduku akaunganidza zvose zvaakanga anazvo, akasimuka akaenda kunyika iri kure akandoparadza pfuma yake ikoko namararamiro akaipa. 14 Shure kwokunge apedza zvose, kwakava nenzara huru munyika yose iyoyo, uye akatanga kushayiwa. 15 Saka akaenda akandozvitsvakira basa kuno mumwe mugari womunyika imomo, iye akamutumira kuminda yake kuti anofudza nguruve. 16 Akada kugutsa dumbu rake namateko aidyiwa nenguruve, asi hapana munhu akamupa kana chinhu.

17 "Akati apengenuka mupfungwa dzake, akati, ‘Varanda vababa vangu vazhinji seiko uye vane zvokudya zvavanongosiya, uye zvino ini pano ndoziya zvokusvika pakufa! 18 Ndichasimuka ndiende kuna baba vangu ndinoti kwavari: Baba, ndakatadzira denga napamberi penyuwo. 19 Handichafaniri kunzi mwanakomana wenyu, ndiitei henyu somumwe wavaranda venyu.’ 20 Saka akasimuka akaenda kuna baba vake.

"Asi akati achiri kure, baba vake vakamuona uye vakamunzwira tsitsi; vakamhanyira kumwanakomana wavo, vakamumbundikira uye vakamutsvoda.

21 "Mwanakomana akati kuna baba vake, ‘Baba, ndakatadzira denga napamberi penyu. Handichafaniri kunzi mwanakomana wenyu.’

22 "Asi baba vakati kuvaranda vavo, ‘Kurumidzai! Uyai nenguo dzakaisvonaka mumupfekedze. Muise mhete pamunwe wake neshangu mutsoka dzake. 23 Muuye nemhuru yakakodzwa muibaye.

25 "Zvichakadaro, mwanakomana mukuru akanga ari kumunda akati aswedera pedyo nemba, akanzwa nziyo nokutamba. 26 Saka akadana mumwe wavaranda akamubvunza kuti chii chakanga chichiitika. 27 Muranda akapindura akati, ‘Mununʼuna wenyu auya uye baba venyu vamubayira mhuru yakakodzwa nokuti adzoka ari mupenyu uye akasimba.’

28 "Mukoma mukuru akatsamwa akaramba kupinda. Saka baba vake vakabuda vakamunyengetedza. 29 Asi akapindura baba vake akati, ‘Tarirai! Makore ose aya ndanga ndichikushandirai uye handina kusamboteerera mirayiro yenyu. Asi hamuna kutongondipa chimbudzana kuti ndipemberewo neshamwari dzangu. 30 Asi pangouya mwanakomana wenyu uyu, akaparadza pfuma yenyu nezvifeve, mamubayira mhuru yakakodzwa!’

31 "Baba vakati, ‘Mwanangu, iwe uneni nguva dzose, uye zvose zvandinazvo ndezvako. 32 Asi taifanira kupembera uye tifare, nokuti mununʼuna wako uyu akanga afa asi zvino araramazve; akanga arasika asi awanikwa.’ "

45 "Umambo hwokudenga hwakafananazve nomutengesi wezvinhu anotsvaka maparera akaisvonaka. 46 Akati awana rimwe rawo rinokosha akaenda akandotengesa zvose zvaakanga anazvo uye akaritenga.

9 Jesu akataura mufananidzo uyu, kuna vamwe vakanga vachivimba nokururama kwavo uye vaizvidza vamwe akati, 10 "Varume vaviri vakakwira kutemberi kundonyengetera, mumwe akanga ari muFarisi uye mumwe ari muteresi. 11 MuFarisi akasimuka akazvinyengeterera achiti, ‘Mwari, ndinokuvongai nokuti handina kufanana navamwe vanhu, makororo, vaiti vezvakaipa, mhombwe, kana kunyange muteresi uyu. 12 Ndinozvinyima zvokudya kaviri pavhiki uye ndinopa chegumi chezvose zvandinowana.’

13 "Asi muteresi akamira ari nechokure, asingadi kunyange kutarira kudenga, asi akazvirova chipfuva akati, ‘Mwari, ndinzwirei tsitsi, ini mutadzi.’

14 "Ndinokuudzai kuti munhu uyu, akadzokera kumba kwake aruramiswa pamberi paMwari kupinda muFarisi. Nokuti mumwe nomumwe anozvikudza achaninipiswa, uye uyo anozvininipisa achakudzwa."

14 "Zvakare, zvichaita somurume akabuda kuti afambe rwendo, akadana varanda vake akavachengetesa pfuma yake. 15 Kuno mumwe akapa matarenda mashanu* emari, kuno mumwe matarenda maviri, uye kuno mumwe tarenda rimwe chete, mumwe nomumwe maererano nokugona kwake. Ipapo akaenda zvake parwendo rwake. 16 Murume akapiwa matarenda mashanu akaenda pakarepo akandoshandisa mari yake akawanazve mamwe mashanu. 17 Saizvozvo uya aiva namatarenda maviri akawana mamwe maviri. 18 Asi murume akanga apiwa tarenda rimwe chete akaenda akandochera gomba muvhu ndokuviga mari yatenzi wake.

19 "Shure kwenguva refu tenzi wavaranda vaya akadzoka akagadzirisa nezvemari idzi navo. 20 Murume akanga apiwa matarenda mashanu akauya namamwe mashanu, akati, ‘Tenzi, makandipa matarenda mashanu. Tarirai ndakawana mamwe mashanu.’

21 "Tenzi wake akapindura akati, ‘Waita zvakanaka iwe muranda akanaka, akatendeka! Wanga wakatendeka pazvinhu zvishoma; ndichakuita mutariri wezvinhu zvizhinji. Pinda mumufaro watenzi wako!’

22 "Murume akanga apiwa matarenda maviri akauyawo. Akati, ‘Tenzi makandipa matarenda maviri, tarirai ndakawanazve mamwe maviri.’

23 "Tenzi wake akapindura akati, ‘Waita zvakanaka, iwe muranda akanaka, akatendeka! Wanga wakatendeka pazvinhu zvishoma, ndichakuita mutariri wezvinhu zvizhinji. Pinda mumufaro watenzi wako!’

24 "Ipapo murume akanga apiwa tarenda rimwe chete akauya, akati, ‘Tenzi, ndakaziva kuti muri munhu akaoma, munokohwa pamusina kudyara uye munounganidza pamusina kukusha mbeu. 25 Nokudaro ndakatya ndikandocherera tarenda renyu muvhu. Tarirai, pfuma yenyu iyi.’

26 "Tenzi wake akapindura akati, ‘Iwe muranda akaipa, ano usimbe! Saka wakanga uchiziva zvako kuti ndinokohwa pandisina kudyara nokuunganidza pandisina kukusha mbeu? 27 Zvino ungadai wakachengetesa mari yangu kune vamabhangi kuitira kuti pakudzoka kwangu ndaizoiwana yabereka.

Mupfumi akafawo akavigwa. 23 Ari mugehena, umo maairwadziwa, akatarisa kumusoro akaona Abhurahama ari kure, naRazaro ari pachipfuva chake. 24 Saka akadanidzira kwaari achiti, ‘Baba Abhurahama, ndinzwirei ngoni mugotuma Razaro kuti anyike muromo womunwe wake mumvura atonhodze rurimi rwangu, nokuti ndiri kurwadziwa kwazvo mumoto muno.’

25 "Asi Abhurahama akapindura akati, ‘Mwanakomana, rangarira kuti pamazuva oupenyu hwako wakagamuchira zvinhu zvako zvakanaka, panguva iyoyo Razaro akagamuchira zvinhu zvakaipa, asi zvino ari kunyaradzwa pano, uye iwe uri kurwadziwa. 26 Uye pamusoro paizvozvo zvose, pano mukaha mukuru wakaiswa pakati pedu newe, kuitira kuti vanoda kubva kuno kuti vauye ikoko vakonewe, uye hakuna munhu angayambuka achibva ikoko achiuya kwatiri.’
