¹Zvino Jesu azere neMweya Mutsvene wakadzoka achibva paJoridhani, akatungamirirwa neMweya kurenje,

¹And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

²achiidzwa nadhiabhorosi mazuva makumi mana. Uye wakange asingadyi chinhu nemazuva iwayo; zvino akati apera pakupedzisira akazonzwa nzara.

²Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.

³Zvino dhiabhorosi akati kwaari: Kana uri Mwanakomana waMwari, udza ibwe iri kuti rive chingwa.

³And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.

⁴Jesu akamupindura, achiti: Kwakanyorwa kuti: Munhu haangararami nechingwa chete, asi neshoko rimwe nerimwe raMwari.

⁴And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

⁵Dhiabhorosi ndokumutora akamutungamidza pagomo refu, akamuratidza ushe hwose hwenyika nechinguvana.

⁵And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

⁶Dhiabhorosi ndokuti kwaari: Simba iri rose ndichakupa nekukudzwa kwahwo, nekuti ndakaripiwa ini, uye ndinoripa ani nani wandinoda.

⁶And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.

⁷Naizvozvo iwe kana ukandishumira pamberi pangu, zvose zvichava zvako.

⁷If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.

⁸Jesu akapindura akati kwaari: Ibva shure kwangu, Satani; nekuti kwakanyorwa kuchinzi: Uchamata Ishe, Mwari wako, uye umushumire iye oga.

⁸And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

⁹Akaenda naye kuJerusarema, akamuisa pachiruvu chetembere, akati kwaari: Kana uri Mwanakomana waMwari, zviwisire pasi uchibva pano;

⁹And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:

¹⁰nekuti kwakanyorwa kuchinzi: Ucharaira vatumwa vake pamusoro pako, kuti vakuchengete;

¹⁰For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:

¹¹uye: Pamaoko vachakugamha, zvimwe ungagumbusa rutsoka rwako pabwe.

¹¹And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

¹²Jesu achipindura, akati kwaari: Kwakanzi: Usaidza Ishe Mwari wako.

¹²And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

¹³Dhiabhorosi akati apedza muedzo wose, akabva kwaari kusvikira pane imwe nguva.

¹³And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.

¹⁴Zvino Jesu wakadzokera kuGarirea nesimba reMweya; mukurumbira wake ukabudira kudunhu rose rakapoteredza.

¹⁴And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.

¹⁵Iye ndokudzidzisa mumasinagoge avo, achikudzwa nevose.

¹⁵And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.

¹⁶Akasvika paNazareta, paakange arerwa; netsika yake wakapinda musinagoge nemusi wesabata, akasimuka kuti averenge.

¹⁶And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.

¹⁷Akapiwa rugwaro rwomuporofita Isaya. Zvino wakati avhura rugwaro, akawana nzvimbo pakange pakanyorwa kuti:

¹⁷And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,

¹⁸Mweya waIshe uri pamusoro pangu, nekuti wakandizodza, kuti ndiparidzire evhangeri kuvarombo; wakandituma kuti ndiporese vakavodzwa moyo, kuparidza kusunungurwa kuna vakatapwa, nekuona kumapofu, ndisunungure vakatsikirirwa,

¹⁸The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

¹⁹nekudanidzira gore rakanaka raIshe.

¹⁹To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

²⁰Akapeta rugwaro, akadzosera kumuranda, akagara pasi; meso avose vaiva musinagoge akamudzvokora.

²⁰And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.

²¹Zvino akatanga kuti kwavari: Nhasi rugwaro urwu rwazadziswa munzeve dzenyu.

²¹And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.

²²Vose vakapupura nezvake, vakashamisika nemashoko enyasha akabuda mumuromo make, vakati: Uyu haazi mwanakomana waJosefa here?

²²And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?

²³Akati kwavari: Zvirokwazvo muchataura kwandiri dimikira iri: Murapi, zvirape iwe; zvose zvatakanzwa zvakaitwa paKapenaumi, zviitewo muno munyika yekwako.

²³And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.

²⁴Iye ndokuti: Zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Hakuna muporofita unogamuchirwa munyika yekwake.

²⁴And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.

²⁵Asi chokwadi ndinoti kwamuri: Chirikadzi zhinji dzaivako kuna Israeri pamazuva aEria, apo denga rakavharwa makore matatu nemwedzi mitanhatu, kusvikira kwava nenzara huru panyika yose;

²⁵But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;

²⁶asi Eria haana kutumwa kune umwe wavo, kunze kwekuSarepita yeSidhoni, kumukadzi chirikadzi.

²⁶But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.

²⁷Uye vanemaperembudzi vazhinji vaivako kuna Israeri panguva yemuporofita Erisha; asi hakuna umwe wavo wakanatswa, kunze kwaNaamani muSiria.

²⁷And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.

²⁸Ipapo vose vakange vari musinagoge vakazara nehasha, vachinzwa zvinhu izvi.

²⁸And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,

²⁹Ndokusimuka, vakamusundidzira kunze kweguta, vakamutinha kusvika pamawere pegomo, pakange pakavakwa guta ravo, kuti vamuposhera pasi.

²⁹And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.

³⁰Asi iye wakapfuura nepakati pavo akaenda.

³⁰But he passing through the midst of them went his way,

³¹Wakabva aburukira Kapenaume, guta reGarirea; uye waivadzidzisa nemasabata.

³¹And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days.

³²Vakashamisika nedzidziso yake, nekuti shoko rake rakange rine simba.

³²And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power.

³³Zvino musinagoge makange mune munhu waiva ane mweya wedhimoni retsvina; akadanidzira nenzwi guru,

³³And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice,

³⁴akati: Regai! Tinei nemwi Jesu muNazareta? Mauya kuzotiparadza kanhi? Ndinokuzivai kuti ndimwi ani: Mutsvene waMwari.

³⁴Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God.

³⁵Zvino Jesu akautsiura, achiti: Nyarara, ubude kwaari! Dhimoni rakati ramuwisira pakati, rikabuda kwaari, risina kumukuvadza.

³⁵And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not.

³⁶Kushamisika kukavasvikira vose, vakataurirana, vachiti: Ishoko ripi iri? Nekuti nesimba nechikuriri unoraira mweya yetsvina, ikabuda.

³⁶And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.

³⁷Mukurumbira wake ukabuda kunzvimbo dzose dzedunhu rakapoteredza.

³⁷And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about.

³⁸Zvino wakasimuka akabuda musinagoge, akapinda mumba maSimoni; zvino mbuyawasha vaSimoni vakange vakabatwa nefivhiri huru; vakamukumbirira kwaari.

³⁸And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her.

³⁹Zvino akakotamira pamusoro pavo, akatsiura fivhiri, ikavarega; uye pakarepo vakasimuka vakavashandira.

³⁹And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.

⁴⁰Zvino zuva rakati rovira, vose vaiva nevarwere vezvirwere zvakasiyana siyana vakavauyisa kwaari; akaisa maoko pamusoro peumwe neumwe wavo akavaporesa.

⁴⁰Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.

⁴¹Nemadhimoni akabuda kuvazhinji, achidanidzira achiti: Imwi muri Kristu Mwanakomana waMwari. Akaatsiura akasaatendera kutaura, nekuti akange achiziva kuti ndiKristu.

⁴¹And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ.

⁴²Zvino kwakati kwaedza, akabuda, akaenda kunzvimbo yerenje, zvaunga zvikamutsvaka, zvikauya kwaari, zvikamudzivirira kuti arege kubva kwazviri.

⁴²And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place: and the people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him, that he should not depart from them.

⁴³Asi wakati kwavari: Ndinofanira kuparidzira evhangeri yeushe hwaMwari kumamwe magutawo; nekuti ndizvo zvandakatumirwa.

⁴³And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.

⁴⁴Akasiparidza mumasinagoge eGarirea.

⁴⁴And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.
