Mateu 25:14-23

“Nokuti zvakafanana nomunhu akaenda kune imwe nyika, akadana varanda vake, akavaronzera pfuma yake. Akapa mumwe matarenda mashanu, mumwe maviri, mumwe rimwe, mumwe nomumwe zvakakwanira simba rake; akaenda kune imwe nyika. Pakarepo iye, akapiwa matarenda mashanu, akaenda akaita mhindu nawo, akawana mamwe mashanu. Saizvozvowo, akapiwa maviri, akawana mamwe maviri. Asi akapiwa rimwe, akenda, akachera pasi, akaviga mari yaishe wake. “Nguva huru yakati yapfuura, ishe wavaranda ivavo akasvika, akagadzira mashoko navo. Akanga apiwa matarenda mashanu, akati, ‘Ishe, makandipa matarenda mashanu, tarirai, ndawana mamwe matarenda mashanu.’ Ishe wake akati kwaari, ‘Zvakanaka, muranda wakanaka, wakatendeka; wakanga wakatendeka pazvinhu zvishoma, ndichakuisa pamusoro pezvinhu zvizhinji; pinda mumufaro washe wako.’ Akanga apiwa matarenda maviri akauyawo, akati, ‘Ishe, makandipa matarenda maviri; tarirai, ndawana mamwe matarenda maviri.’ Ishe wake akati kwaari, ‘Zvakanaka, muranda akanaka, akatendeka; wakanga wakatendeka pazvinhu zvishoma, ndichakuisa pamusoro pezvinhu zvizhinji; pinda mumufaro washe wako.’
