Mateu 13:33-58

Akavaudza mumwe mufananidzo, akati, “Ushe hwedenga hwakafanana nembiriso yakatorwa nomukadzi, akaiisa muzviero zvitatu zvoupfu, kusvikira hwose hwaviriswa.” Zvinhu zvose Jesu wakaudza vanhu vazhinji nemifananidzo; haana kutaura chinhu kwavari asingafananidzi; kuti zviitike zvakarehwa nomuporofita, achiti, “Ndichataura nemifananidzo, Ndichataura zvakavanzika kubva pakuvambwa kwenyika.” Zvino Jesu akati aendesa vanhu vazhinji, akapinda mumba, vadzidzi vake vakauya kwaari, vakati, “Tidudzirei mufananidzo wamasawi omumunda.” Akapindura, akati, “Anokusha mbeu yakanaka ndiye Mwanakomana womunhu. Munda inyika; mbeu yakanaka ndivo vanakomana voushe, masawi ndiwo vanakomana vomuipi. Muvengi akakusha ndiye Dhiabhori; kucheka ndiko kuguma kwenyika; vacheki ndivo vatumwa vaMwari. “Zvino masawi sezvaanounganidzwa achipiswa mumoto, ndizvo zvichaitwa pakuguma kwenyika. Mwanakomana womunhu achatuma vatumwa vake, vagounganidza muushe hwake zvose zvinogumbusa, navanoita zvisakarurama, vachavakandira muvira romoto; ipapo pachava nokuchema nokugeda-geda kwameno. Ipapo vakarurama vachapenya sezuva muushe hwaBaba vavo. Ane nzeve dzokunzwa, ngaanzwe. “Ushe hwedenga hwakafanana nepfuma yakavanzwa mumunda, iyo yakawanikwa nomunhu, akaivanzazve; zvino nokufara kwake anoenda, akatengesa zvose zvaanazvo, akatenga munda uyo. “Ushe hwedenga hwakafananazve nomushambadzi anotsvaka mapera akanaka; akati awana pera rimwe rinomutengo mukuru, akaenda, akandotengesa zvose zvaakanga anazvo, akaritenga iro. “Ushe hwedenga hwakafananazve nousvasvi hunokandirwa mugungwa, hunounganidza marudzi ose ehove; kana hwazara vanohukwevera pamhenderekedzo, vakagara pasi, vakaunganidzira dzakanaka mumidziyo, asi dzakaipa vanodzirasa. Ndizvo zvichaitwa pakuguma kwenyika; vatumwa vachabuda, vachabudisa vakaipa pakati pavakarurama, vachavakandira muvira romoto; ipapo pachava nokuchema nokugeda-geda kwameno.” (Jesu akati kwavari), “Manzwisisa izvozvo zvose here?” Vakati kwaari, “Hongu, Ishe.” Akati kwavari, “Naizvozvo munyori mumwe nomumwe wakadzidziswa zvoushe hwekudenga, akafanana, mwene weimba, anobudisa zvinhu zvitsva nezvekare papfuma yake.” Jesu akati apedza mifananidzo iyo, akabvapo. Akasvika kunyika yake, akavadzidzisa musinagoge ravo, nokudaro vakakatyamara, vakati, “Munhu uyu awanepiko kuchenjera uku namabasa esimba? Ko haasi mwanakomana womuvezi here? Ko mai vake havazonzi Maria here, vakoma navanun'una vake havanzi Jakobho, naJosefa, naSimoni, naJudhasi here. Nehanzvadzi dzake hadzisi pakati patiri dzose here? Ko iye akagowanepi zvinhu izvozvo zvose?” Vakagumburwa naye. Asi Jesu akati kwavari, “Muporofita haangashayiwi kukudzwa, asi munyika yake, nomumba make.” Akasaita mabasa esimba mazhinji ipapo nokusatenda kwavo.
