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

¹And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, turned back from the Jordan, and was brought in the Spirit to the wilderness,

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

²forty days being tempted by the Devil, and he did not eat anything in those days, and they having been ended, he afterward hungered,

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

³and the Devil said to him, `If Son thou art of God, speak to this stone that it may become bread.`

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

⁴And Jesus answered him, saying, `It hath been written, that, not on bread only shall man live, but on every saying of God.`

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

⁵And the Devil having brought him up to an high mountain, shewed to 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 to him, `To thee I will give all this authority, and their glory, because to me it hath been delivered, and to whomsoever I will, I do give it;

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

⁷thou, then, if thou mayest bow before 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 answering him said, `Get thee behind me, Adversary, for it hath been written, Thou shalt bow before the Lord thy God, and Him only thou shalt 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 the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, `If the Son thou art of God, cast thyself down hence,

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

¹⁰for it hath been written — To His messengers He will give charge concerning thee, to guard over thee,

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

¹¹and — On hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou mayest dash against a stone thy foot.`

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

¹²And Jesus answering said to him — `It hath been said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.`

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

¹³And having ended all temptation, the Devil departed from him till a convenient season.

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

¹⁴And Jesus turned back in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and a fame went forth through all the region round about concerning him,

¹⁵Iye ndokudzidzisa mumasinagoge avo, achikudzwa nevose.

¹⁵and he was teaching in their synagogues, being glorified by all.

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

¹⁶And he came to Nazareth, where he hath been brought up, and he went in, according to his custom, on the sabbath-day, to the synagogue, and stood up to read;

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

¹⁷and there was given over to him a roll of Isaiah the prophet, and having unfolded the roll, he found the place where it hath been 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,

¹⁸`The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon me, Because He did anoint me; To proclaim good news to the poor, Sent me to heal the broken of heart, To proclaim to captives deliverance, And to blind receiving of sight, To send away the bruised with deliverance,

¹⁹nekudanidzira gore rakanaka raIshe.

¹⁹To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.`

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

²⁰And having folded the roll, having given [it] back to the officer, he sat down, and the eyes of all in the synagogue were gazing on him.

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

²¹And he began to say unto them — `To-day hath this writing been fulfilled in your ears;`

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

²²and all were bearing testimony to him, and were wondering at the gracious words that are coming forth out of his mouth, and they said, `Is not this the son of Joseph?`

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

²³And he said unto them, `Certainly ye will say to me this simile, Physician, heal thyself; as great things as we 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 to 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;

²⁵and of a truth I say to you, Many widows were in the days of Elijah, in Israel, when the heaven was shut for three years and six months, when great famine came on all the land,

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

²⁶and unto none of them was Elijah sent, but — to Sarepta of Sidon, unto a woman, a widow;

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

²⁷and many lepers were in the time of Elisha the prophet, in Israel, and none of them was cleansed, but — Naaman the Syrian.`

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

²⁸And all in the synagogue were filled with wrath, hearing these things,

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

²⁹and having risen, they put him forth without the city, and brought him unto the brow of the hill on which their city had been built — to cast him down headlong,

³⁰Asi iye wakapfuura nepakati pavo akaenda.

³⁰and he, having gone through the midst of them, went away.

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

³¹And he came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and was teaching them on the sabbaths,

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

³²and they were astonished at his teaching, because his word was with authority.

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

³³And in the synagogue was a man, having a spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a great voice,

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

³⁴saying, `Away, what — to us and to thee, Jesus, O Nazarene? thou didst come to destroy us; I have known 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 did rebuke him, saying, `Be silenced, and come forth out of him;` and the demon having cast him into the midst, came forth from him, having hurt him nought;

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

³⁶and amazement came upon all, and they were speaking together, with one another, saying, `What [is] this word, that with authority and power he doth command the unclean spirits, and they come forth?`

³⁷Mukurumbira wake ukabuda kunzvimbo dzose dzedunhu rakapoteredza.

³⁷and there was going forth a fame concerning him to every place of the region round about.

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

³⁸And having risen out of the synagogue, he entered into the house of Simon, and the mother-in-law of Simon was pressed with a great fever, and they did ask him about her,

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

³⁹and having stood over her, he rebuked the fever, and it left her, and presently, having risen, she was ministering to them.

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

⁴⁰And at the setting of the sun, all, as many as had any ailing with manifold sicknesses, brought them unto him, and he on each one of them [his] hands having put, did heal them.

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

⁴¹And demons also were coming forth from many, crying out and saying — `Thou art the Christ, the Son of God;` and rebuking, he did not suffer them to speak, because they knew him to be the Christ.

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

⁴²And day having come, having gone forth, he went on to a desert place, and the multitudes were seeking him, and they came unto him, and were staying him — not to go on from them,

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

⁴³and he said unto them — `Also to the other cities it behoveth me to proclaim good news of the reign of God, because for this I have been sent;`

⁴⁴Akasiparidza mumasinagoge eGarirea.

⁴⁴and he was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.
