¹Zvino wakapindazve musinagoge, zvino kwakange kune munhuko wakange ane ruoko rwakawonyana.

¹And he entered again into the synagogue, and there was there a man having the hand withered,

²Zvino vakamutarisisa kuona kana angamuporesa nesabata, kuti vamupomere.

²and they were watching him, whether on the sabbaths he will heal him, that they might accuse him.

³Zvino akati kumunhu waiva neruoko rwakawonyana: Simuka uende pakati.

³And he saith to the man having the hand withered, `Rise up in the midst.`

⁴Akati kwavari: Zviri pamutemo here kuita zvakanaka nemasabata, kana kuita zvakaipa? Kuponesa upenyu, kana kuuraya? Asi vakanyarara.

⁴And he saith to them, `Is it lawful on the sabbaths to do good, or to do evil? life to save, or to kill?` but they were silent.

⁵Zvino wakati aringa-ringa kwavari, nekutsamwa, ane shungu nekuda kwekuoma kwemoyo wavo, akati kumunhu: Tambanudza ruoko rwako. Akatambanudza ruoko rwake rwukaporeswa rwukagwinya serumwe.

⁵And having looked round upon them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their heart, he saith to the man, `Stretch forth thy hand;` and he stretched forth, and his hand was restored whole as the other;

⁶VaFarisi vakabuda pakarepo vakarangana nevaHerodhe pamusoro pake kuti vangamuparadza sei.

⁶and the Pharisees having gone forth, immediately, with the Herodians, were taking counsel against him how they might destroy him.

⁷Zvino Jesu akabva nevadzidzi vake vakaenda kugungwa; chaunga chikuru chikamutevera chichibva Garirea, nekuJudhiya,

⁷And Jesus withdrew with his disciples unto the sea, and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judea,

⁸nekuJerusarema, nekuIdhumeya, nemhiri kwaJoridhani, nevakapoteredza Tire neSidhoni, chaunga chikuru, vakati vanzwa makuriro ezvinhu zvaanoita vakauya kwaari.

⁸and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea and beyond the Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon — a great multitude — having heard how great things he was doing, came unto him.

⁹Akataura kuvadzidzi vake kuti igwa duku rimugarire nekuda kwechaunga, kuti varege kumutsikirira.

⁹And he said to his disciples that a little boat may wait on him, because of the multitude, that they may not press upon him,

¹⁰Nekuti wakange aporesa vazhinji zvekuti vaiwira pamusoro pake kuti vamubate vose vakange vane zvirwere.

¹⁰for he did heal many, so that they threw themselves on him, in order to touch him — as many as had plagues;

¹¹Nemweya yetsvina, payakamuona yakawira pasi pamberi pake, ikadanidzira ichiti: Imwi muri Mwanakomana waMwari.

¹¹and the unclean spirits, when they were seeing him, were falling down before him, and were crying, saying — `Thou art the Son of God;`

¹²Akairairisa zvikuru kuti irege kumubudisa pachena.

¹²and many times he was charging them that they might not make him manifest.

¹³Zvino wakakwira mugomo, akadanira kwaari vaakange achida iye; vakauya kwaari.

¹³And he goeth up to the mountain, and doth call near whom he willed, and they went away to him;

¹⁴Akagadza gumi nevaviri, kuti vave naye, nekuti avatume kunoparidza,

¹⁴and he appointed twelve, that they may be with him, and that he may send them forth to preach,

¹⁵uye vave nesimba rekuporesa zvirwere nekubudisa madhimoni.

¹⁵and to have power to heal the sicknesses, and to cast out the demons.

¹⁶NaSimoni akamutumidza zita rinonzi Petro,

¹⁶And he put on Simon the name Peter;

¹⁷naJakobho waZebhedhi, naJohwani munin'ina waJakobho; akavatumidza mazita anonzi Bowanegesi, ndokuti, vanakomana vekutinhira;

¹⁷and James of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, and he put on them names — Boanerges, that is, `Sons of thunder;`

¹⁸naAndiriya, naFiripi, naBhatoromiyo, naMatewu, naTomasi, naJakobho waArifiyosi, naTadhiyo, naSimoni muKenani,

¹⁸and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James of Alpheus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Cananite,

¹⁹naJudhasi Isikariyoti, iyewo wakamutengesa. Ndokubva vapinda mumba.

¹⁹and Judas Iscariot, who did also deliver him up; and they come into a house.

²⁰Chaunga chikaunganazve zvekuti vakange vasingagoni kana kudya chingwa.

²⁰And come together again doth a multitude, so that they are not able even to eat bread;

²¹Vekwake vakati vachizvinzwa vakabuda kunomubata; nekuti vakati: Unopenga.

²¹and his friends having heard, went forth to lay hold on him, for they said that he was beside himself,

²²Nevanyori vakaburuka vachibva kuJerusarema vakati: Una Bheerizebhuri, nekuti: Unobudisa madhimoni nemutungamiriri wemadhimoni.

²²and the scribes who [are] from Jerusalem having come down, said — `He hath Beelzeboul,` and — `By the ruler of the demons he doth cast out the demons.`

²³Zvino akavadanira kwaari, akati kwavari nemifananidzo: Satani ungagona kubudisa Satani sei?

²³And, having called them near, in similes he said to them, `How is the Adversary able to cast out the Adversary?

²⁴Kana ushe hwakapesana hwuchimirisana, ushe uhwo hahungagoni kumira.

²⁴and if a kingdom against itself be divided, that kingdom cannot be made to stand;

²⁵Kana imba yakapesana ichimirisana, imba iyo haigoni kumira.

²⁵and if a house against itself be divided, that house cannot be made to stand;

²⁶Uye kana Satani achizvimukira, akapesana, haangagoni kumira, asi unopera.

²⁶and if the Adversary did rise against himself, and hath been divided, he cannot be made to stand, but hath an end.

²⁷Hakuna ungagona kupinda mumba mehamburamakaka, akapamba nhumbi dzayo, kunze kwekuti atanga kusunga hamburamakaka, ndokuzopamba imba yayo.

²⁷`No one is able the vessels of the strong man — having entered into his house — to spoil, if first he may not bind the strong man, and then his house he will spoil.

²⁸Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Zvivi zvose zvichakangamwirwa kuvanakomana vevanhu, nekunyomba kose kwavanonyomba nako;

²⁸`Verily I say to you, that all the sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and evil speakings with which they might speak evil,

²⁹asi ani nani unonyomba achipikisa Mweya Mutsvene haana kangamwiro narinhi asi une mhosva yekutongwa kusingaperi.

²⁹but whoever may speak evil in regard to the Holy Spirit hath not forgiveness — to the age, but is in danger of age-during judgment;`

³⁰Nekuti vakati: Une mweya wetsvina.

³⁰because they said, `He hath an unclean spirit.`

³¹Zvino kwakauya vanin'ina namai vake, vakamira kunze, vakatumira nhume kwaari vachimudana.

³¹Then come do his brethren and mother, and standing without, they sent unto him, calling him,

³²Chaunga chakange chigere chakamukomba; vakati kwaari: Tarirai, mai venyu nevanin'ina venyu vari panze vanokutsvakai.

³²and a multitude was sitting about him, and they said to him, `Lo, thy mother and thy brethren without do seek thee.`

³³Akavapindura achiti: Mai vangu ndiani kana vanin'ina vangu?

³³And he answered them, saying, `Who is my mother, or my brethren?`

³⁴Zvino akaringa-ringa kupoteredza avo vakange vagere vakamukomba akati: Tarirai mai vangu nevanin'ina vangu.

³⁴And having looked round in a circle to those sitting about him, he saith, `Lo, my mother and my brethren!

³⁵Nekuti ani nani unoita kuda kwaMwari, ndiye munin'ina wangu nehanzvadzi yangu namai.

³⁵for whoever may do the will of God, he is my brother, and my sister, and mother.`
