¹VaFarisi nevaSadhusi ndokuuya vakamukumbira kuti avaratidze chiratidzo chinobva kudenga vachimuidza.

¹And the Pharisees and Sadducees having come, tempting, did question him, to shew to them a sign from the heaven,

²Asi wakapindura akati kwavari: Kana ava madekwana munoti: Kunze kwakanaka; nekuti denga rakatsvuka.

²and he answering said to them, `Evening having come, ye say, Fair weather, for the heaven is red,

³Uye mangwanani munoti: Nhasi kunze kwakaipa; nekuti denga rakatsvuka richikwidibira. Vanyepedzeri, munoziva kuongorora mamiriro edenga, asi hamugoni kuongorora zviratidzo zvenguva here?

³and at morning, Foul weather to-day, for the heaven is red — gloomy; hypocrites, the face of the heavens indeed ye do know to discern, but the signs of the times ye are not able!

⁴Zera rakaipa uye rinofeva richitsvaka chiratidzo; asi hapana chiratidzo chingapiwa kwariri, kunze kwechiratidzo chaJona muporofita. Ndokuvasiya, akaenda.

⁴`A generation evil and adulterous doth seek a sign, and a sign shall not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet;` and having left them he went away.

⁵Zvino vadzidzi vakati vasvika mhiri, vakakangamwa kutora zvingwa.

⁵And his disciples having come to the other side, forgot to take loaves,

⁶Zvino Jesu akati kwavari: Onai mungwarire mbiriso yevaFarisi nevaSadhusi.

⁶and Jesus said to them, `Beware, and take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees;`

⁷Vakarangana pakati pavo vachiti: Unodaro nekuti hatina kutora chingwa.

⁷and they were reasoning in themselves, saying, `Because we took no loaves.`

⁸Zvino Jesu azviziva akati kwavari: Imwi verutendo ruduku, nemhaka yei muchirangana kuti hamuna kutora zvingwa?

⁸And Jesus having known, said to them, `Why reason ye in yourselves, ye of little faith, because ye took no loaves?

⁹Muchigere kunzwisisa here, kana kurangarira zvingwa zvishanu zvevanezvuru zvishanu, uye matengu mangani amakanonga?

⁹do ye not yet understand, nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many hand-baskets ye took up?

¹⁰Kana zvingwa zvinomwe zvevanezvuru zvina, uye matengu mangani amakanonga?

¹⁰nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

¹¹Hamunzwisisi sei, kuti handina kutaura kwamuri pamusoro pezvingwa kuti muchenjere mbiriso yevaFarisi nevaSadhusi?

¹¹how do ye not understand that I did not speak to you of bread — to take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?`

¹²Zvino vakanzwisisa kuti haana kutaura kuti vachenjere mbiriso yezvingwa, asi dzidziso yevaFarisi nevaSadhusi.

¹²Then they understood that he did not say to take heed of the leaven of the bread, but of the teaching, of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

¹³Jesu wakati asvika kumativi eKesariya yeFiripi, akabvunza vadzidzi vake, achiti: Vanhu vanoti ini Mwanakomana wemunhu ndini ani?

¹³And Jesus, having come to the parts of Cesarea Philippi, was asking his disciples, saying, `Who do men say me to be — the Son of Man?`

¹⁴Ndokubva vati: Vamwe vanoti Johwani Mubhabhatidzi, uye vamwe Eria, vamwewo Jeremiya, kana umwe wevaporofita.

¹⁴and they said, `Some, John the Baptist, and others, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.`

¹⁵Akati kwavari: Ko imwi munoti ndini ani?

¹⁵He saith to them, `And ye — who do ye say me to be?`

¹⁶Zvino Simoni Petro akapindura akati: Ndimwi Kristu, Mwanakomana waMwari mupenyu.

¹⁶and Simon Peter answering said, `Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.`

¹⁷Jesu akapindura akati kwaari: Wakaropafadzwa, Simoni mwanakomana waJona, nekuti nyama neropa hazvina kukuzarurira izvozvo, asi Baba vangu vari kumatenga.

¹⁷And Jesus answering said to him, `Happy art thou, Simon Bar-Jona, because flesh and blood did not reveal [it] to thee, but my Father who is in the heavens.

¹⁸Neni ndinoti kwauri: Ndiwe Petro, uye pamusoro peruware urwu ndichavaka kereke yangu, nemasuwo egehena* haangaikundi.

¹⁸`And I also say to thee, that thou art a rock, and upon this rock I will build my assembly, and gates of Hades shall not prevail against it;

¹⁹Uye ndichapa kwauri kiyi dzeushe hwekumatenga; uye chipi nechipi chauchasunga panyika, chichasungwa kumatenga; nechipi nechipi chauchasunungura panyika, chichasunungurwa kumatenga.

¹⁹and I will give to thee the keys of the reign of the heavens, and whatever thou mayest bind upon the earth shall be having been bound in the heavens, and whatever thou mayest loose upon the earth shall be having been loosed in the heavens.`

²⁰Ipapo akarairisa vadzidzi vake kuti varege kuudza munhu kuti ndiye Jesu iye Kristu.

²⁰Then did he charge his disciples that they may say to no one that he is Jesus the Christ.

²¹Kubva panguva iyo Jesu wakatanga kuratidza kuvadzidzi vake kuti unofanira kuenda kuJerusarema, uye kutambudzika zvizhinji zvichibva kuvakuru, nevapristi vakuru, nevanyori, nekuurawa, nekumutswa nezuva retatu.

²¹From that time began Jesus to shew to his disciples that it is necessary for him to go away to Jerusalem, and to suffer many things from the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and to be put to death, and the third day to rise.

²²Petro akamutora parutivi, akatanga kumutsiura akati: Ngazvirege kuva kwamuri, Ishe; izvi hazvingatongoitiki kwamuri.

²²And having taken him aside, Peter began to rebuke him, saying, `Be kind to thyself, sir; this shall not be to thee;`

²³Asi iye wakatendeuka akati kuna Petro: Ibva shure kwangu, Satani! Uri chigumbuso kwandiri; nekuti haurangariri zvinhu zvaMwari, asi zvinhu zvevanhu.

²³and he having turned, said to Peter, `Get thee behind me, adversary! thou art a stumbling-block to me, for thou dost not mind the things of God, but the things of men.`

²⁴Zvino Jesu akati kuvadzidzi vake: Kana ani nani achida kuuya shure kwangu, ngaazvirambe, atakure muchinjikwa wake, anditevere.

²⁴Then said Jesus to his disciples, `If any one doth will to come after me, let him disown himself, and take up his cross, and follow me,

²⁵Nekuti ani nani unoda kuponesa upenyu hwake ucharashikirwa nahwo; asi ani nani unorashikirwa neupenyu hwake nekuda kwangu uchahuwana.

²⁵for whoever may will to save his life, shall lose it, and whoever may lose his life for my sake shall find it,

²⁶Nekuti munhu unobatsirwei kana akawana nyika yose, akarashikirwa nemweya wake? Kana munhu uchapei kuti chive muripo wemweya wake?

²⁶for what is a man profited if he may gain the whole world, but of his life suffer loss? or what shall a man give as an exchange for his life?

²⁷Nekuti Mwanakomana wemunhu achauya mukubwinya kwaBaba vake nevatumwa vake, ipapo achapa mubairo umwe neumwe zvichienderana nebasa rake.

²⁷`For, the Son of Man is about to come in the glory of his Father, with his messengers, and then he will reward each, according to his work.

²⁸Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Vamwe varipo kune vamire pano, vasingazoraviri rufu kusvikira vaona Mwanakomana wemunhu achiuya muushe hwake.

²⁸Verily I say to you, there are certain of those standing here who shall not taste of death till they may see the Son of Man coming in his reign.`
