¹Zvino zvakaitika shure kweizvozvo, kuti iye wakagura nemuguta nemusha umwe neumwe, achidanidzira nekuparidza mashoko akanaka oushe hwaMwari; nevanegumi neviri vanaye,

¹And it came to pass soon afterwards, that he went about through cities and villages, preaching and bringing the good tidings of the kingdom of God, and with him the twelve,

²nevamwe vakadzi vakange vaporeswa pamweya yakaipa neurwere, Maria unonzi Magidharini, maari makabuda madhimoni manomwe,

²and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary that was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,

³naJohwana mukadzi waKuza mutariri waHerodhe, naSusana, nevamwe vazhinji, vaimubatsira nenhumbi dzavo.

³and Joanna the wife of Chuzas Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who ministered unto them of their substance.

⁴Zvino chaunga chikuru chakati chaungana, uye vaibva kuguta ripi neripi vachiuya kwaari, akataura nemufananidzo akati:

⁴And when a great multitude came together, and they of every city resorted unto him, he spake by a parable:

⁵Mukushi wakabuda kundokusha mbeu yake; zvino pakukusha kwake, imwe yakawira kurutivi rwenzira, ndokutsikwa netsoka, shiri dzekudenga dzikaidya dzikaipedza.

⁵The sower went forth to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden under foot, and the birds of the heaven devoured it.

⁶Uye imwe ikawira paruware; zvino yakamera, ikawoma, nekuti yakashaiwa unyoro.

⁶And other fell on the rock; and as soon as it grew, it withered away, because it had no moisture.

⁷Neimwe ikawira pakati pemhinzwa, mhinzwa ikakura nayo, ikaivhunga.

⁷And other fell amidst the thorns; and the thorns grew with it, and choked it.

⁸Uye imwe yakawira muvhu rakanaka, ikamera, ikabereka zvibereko zvinezana. Wakati ataura zvinhu izvi, akadanidzira achiti: Une nzeve dzekunzwa, ngaanzwe.

⁸And other fell into the good ground, and grew, and brought forth fruit a hundredfold. As he said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

⁹Vadzidzi vake ndokumubvunza vachiti: Mufananidzo uyo ungavei?

⁹And his disciples asked him what this parable might be.

¹⁰Ndokubva ati: Kwamuri kwakapiwa kuziva zvakavanzika zveushe hwaMwari; asi kune vamwe zviri mumifananidzo, kuti vachiona vasaona; uye vachinzwa vasanzwisisa.

¹⁰And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to the rest in parables; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.

¹¹Zvino mufananidzo ndiwoyu: Mbeu ishoko raMwari.

¹¹Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

¹²Avo vaparutivi rwenzira ndivo vanonzwa, ipapo dhiabhorosi unouya ndokubvisa shoko pamoyo yavo, kuti varege kutenda, vaponeswe.

¹²And those by the way side are they that have heard; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved.

¹³Nevaparuware ndevaya, vanoti kana vanzwa, vanogamuchira shoko nemufaro; asi ava havana mudzi, vanotenda kwenguva, asi nenguva yemuedzo vanowa.

¹³And those on the rock [are] they who, when they have heard, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

¹⁴Neyakawira pamhinzwa, ndevaya kana vanzwa, zvino vanoenda ndokuvhungwa nekufunganya nefuma, nemafaro eupenyu, vakasasvitsa zvibereko.

¹⁴And that which fell among the thorns, these are they that have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of [this] life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

¹⁵Asi iri muvhu rakanaka, ndevaya vanoti vanzwa shoko, vanorichengeta mumoyo wakarurama nowakanaka, vachibereka zvibereko nekutsungirira.

¹⁵And that in the good ground, these are such as in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it fast, and bring forth fruit with patience.

¹⁶Hakuna munhu unoti kana atungidza mwenje, unoufukidzira nemudziyo, kana kuisa pasi pemubhedha; asi unouisa pachigadziko chemwenje, kuti avo vanopinda vaone chiedza.

¹⁶And no man, when he hath lighted a lamp, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but putteth it on a stand, that they that enter in may see the light.

¹⁷Nekuti hakuna chakavanzika, chisingazovi pachena, kana chakavigwa, chisingazozikamwi nekubuda pachena.

¹⁷For nothing is hid, that shall not be made manifest; nor [anything] secret, that shall not be known and come to light.

¹⁸Naizvozvo chenjerai, kuti munonzwa sei; nekuti ani nani unazvo, uchapiwa; asi ani nani usina, uchatorerwa kunyange icho chaanofunga kuti unacho.

¹⁸Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he thinketh he hath.

¹⁹Zvino kwakauya kwaari mai nevanin'ina vake, vakasagona kusvika kwaari nekuda kwechaunga.

¹⁹And there came to him his mother and brethren, and they could not come at him for the crowd.

²⁰Akaudzwa nevamwe vakati: Mai venyu nevanin'ina venyu vamire panze, vanoda kukuonai.

²⁰And it was told him, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.

²¹Asi wakapindura akati kwavari: Mai vangu nevanin'ina vangu ndeava vanonzwa shoko raMwari vachiriita.

²¹But he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these that hear the word of God, and do it.

²²Zvino zvakaitika nerimwe remazuva kuti wakapinda muchikepe iye nevadzidzi vake, akati kwavari: Ngatiyambukire kune rumwe rutivi rwegungwa; vakatanga kufamba nechikepe.

²²Now it came to pass on one of those days, that he entered into a boat, himself and his disciples; and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake: and they launched forth.

²³Zvino vakati vachienda nechikepe, akavata hope; kukauya dutu guru remhepo pagungwa; vakazarirwa nemvura, vakava munjodzi.

²³But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filling [with water], and were in jeopardy.

²⁴Vakaswedera vakamumutsa, vachiti: Tenzi, tenzi, toparara! Ipapo akamuka, akatsiura mhepo nemafungu emvura; zvikaguma, kukava nekudzikama.

²⁴And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. And he awoke, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.

²⁵Ndokubva ati kwavari: Rutendo rwenyu rwuripi? Asi vachitya vakashamisika, vakataurirana vachiti: Ndeupi uyu, kuti unoraira kunyange nemhepo nemvura, zvichimuteerera?

²⁵And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And being afraid they marvelled, saying one to another, Who then is this, that he commandeth even the winds and the water, and they obey him?

²⁶Zvino vakaenda nechikepe panyika yevaGadharini, yakatarisana neGarirea.

²⁶And they arrived at the country of the Gerasenes, which is over against Galilee.

²⁷Wakati achibudira panyika, akamuchingamidza umwe murume achibva muguta, wakange ane madhimoni kwenguva refu, uye asingapfeki nguvo, asingagari mumba, asi kumarinda.

²⁷And when he was come forth upon the land, there met him a certain man out of the city, who had demons; and for a long time he had worn no clothes, and abode not in [any] house, but in the tombs.

²⁸Wakati achiona Jesu, akadanidzira ndokuwira pasi pamberi pake, akati nenzwi guru: Ndinei nemwi, Jesu, Mwanakomana waMwari Wekumusoro-soro? Ndinokukumbirisai, musanditambudza.

²⁸And when he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the Most High God? I beseech thee, torment me not.

²⁹Nekuti wakange araira mweya wetsvina kuti ubude kumunhu; nekuti wakange wamubata nguva zhinji uye waichengetwa akasungwa nemaketani nemabote; asi akadambura zvisungo, achitinhirwa kumarenje nedhimoni.

²⁹For he was commanding the unclean spirit to come out from the man. For oftentimes it had seized him: and he was kept under guard, and bound with chains and fetters; and breaking the bands asunder, he was driven of the demon into the deserts.

³⁰Jesu ndokumubvunza achiti: Zita rako ndiani? Akati: Regiyoni; nekuti madhimoni mazhinji akange apinda maari.

³⁰And Jesus asked him, What is thy name? And he said, Legion; for many demons were entered into him.

³¹Akamukumbirisa kuti arege kuiraira kuti iende kugomba risina chigadziko.

³¹And they entreated him that he would not command them to depart into the abyss.

³²Zvino kwakange kuripo ipapo boka renguruve zhinji dzaifura mugomo; akamukumbirisa kuti amatendere kupinda madziri. Akamatendera.

³²Now there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they entreated him that he would give them leave to enter into them. And he gave them leave.

³³Zvino madhimoni akabuda kumunhu, akapinda munguruve; boka ndokupitirikira kumawere richiinda kudziva, rikabitirirwa.

³³And the demons came out from the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd rushed down the steep into the lake, and were drowned.

³⁴Zvino vaidzifudza vachiona zvaitika, vakatiza, vakaenda kunotaura muguta nemuruwa.

³⁴And when they that fed them saw what had come to pass, they fled, and told it in the city and in the country.

³⁵Zvino vakabuda kunoona zvaitika; vakasvika kuna Jesu, vakawana munhu, wakange abuda madhimoni maari agere patsoka dzaJesu, akapfeka uye akakwana mupfungwa; vakatya.

³⁵And they went out to see what had come to pass; and they came to Jesus, and found the man, from whom the demons were gone out, sitting, clothed and in his right mind, at the feet of Jesus: and they were afraid.

³⁶Vakange vazvionawo vakavaudza kuti wakaponeswa sei waiva nemadhimoni.

³⁶And they that saw it told them how he that was possessed with demons was made whole.

³⁷Zvino chaunga chose chedunhu rakapoteredza vaGadharini chakakumbirisa kwaari kuti abve kwavari, nekuti vabatwa nekutya kukuru; akapinda muchikepe, akadzokera.

³⁷And all the people of the country of the Gerasenes round about asked him to depart from them, for they were holden with great fear: and he entered into a boat, and returned.

³⁸Asi murume wakange abuda madhimoni maari, wakakumbirisa kwaari kuti ave naye. Asi Jesu wakamurega achienda, achiti:

³⁸But the man from whom the demons were gone out prayed him that he might be with him: but he sent him away, saying,

³⁹Dzokera kumba kwako, undotaura kuti zvikuru sei Mwari zvaaita kwauri. Akaenda, akaparidza muguta rose kuti zvikuru sei Jesu zvaakamuitira.

³⁹Return to thy house, and declare how great things God hath done for thee. And he went his way, publishing throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done for him.

⁴⁰Zvino zvakaitika kuti pakudzoka kwaJesu, chaunga chakamugamuchira; nekuti vose vakange vakamurindira.

⁴⁰And as Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed him; for they were all waiting for him.

⁴¹Zvino tarira, kwakasvika murume, zita rake rainzi Jairosi, iye wakange ari mukuru wesinagoge, ndokuwira patsoka dzaJesu, akamukumbirisa kuti apinde mumba make;

⁴¹And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him to come into his house;

⁴²nekuti wakange ane mukunda wakaberekwa umwe woga wemakore anenge gumi nemaviri, uye iye wakange achitandadza. Zvino wakati achaenda, zvaunga zvikamumbandidzira.

⁴²for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went the multitudes thronged him.

⁴³Uye mukadzi, waiva nekubuda ropa makore gumi nemaviri, wakange apedzera zvose zveupenyu hwake kuvarapi, asingagoni kurapwa kwete neumwe.

⁴³And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, who had spent all her living upon physicians, and could not be healed of any,

⁴⁴Akauya mushure make, akabata mupendero wenguvo yake; pakarepo kubuda kweropa kwake kukaguma.

⁴⁴came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately the issue of her blood stanched.

⁴⁵Jesu ndokuti: Ndiani wandibata? Zvino vose vakati vachiramba, Petro nevaiva naye vakati: Tenzi, chaunga chinokumbandidzirai nekukutsikirirai zvino moti: Ndiani wandibata?

⁴⁵And Jesus said, Who is it that touched me? And when all denied, Peter said, and they that were with him, Master, the multitudes press thee and crush [thee].

⁴⁶Asi Jesu wakati: Uripo wandibata; nekuti ini ndaziva kuti simba rabuda kwandiri.

⁴⁶But Jesus said, Some one did touch me; for I perceived that power had gone forth from me.

⁴⁷Zvino mukadzi wakati achiona kuti haana kuvanzika, akauya achibvunda, akawira pasi pamberi pake, akarondedzera kwaari pamberi pevanhu vose kuti wakamubata nechikonzero chipi, uye kuti wakaporeswa pakarepo sei.

⁴⁷And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people for what cause she touched him, and how she was healed immediately.

⁴⁸Zvino akati kwaari: Mukunda, tsunga moyo, rutendo rwako rwakuponesa; enda nerugare.

⁴⁸And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.

⁴⁹Wakati achataura, kwakauya umwe achibva kumba kwemukuru wesinagoge, achiti kwaari: Mukunda wenyu wafa; musatambudza Mudzidzisi.

⁴⁹While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's [house], saying, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Teacher.

⁵⁰Asi Jesu wakati achinzwa, akamupindura, achiti: Usatya, tenda chete, uye uchaponeswa.

⁵⁰But Jesus hearing it, answered him, Fear not: only believe, and she shall be made whole.

⁵¹Zvino wakati apinda mumba, haana kutendera munhu kupinda, kunze kwaPetro, naJakobho, naJohwani, nababa vemusikana, namai.

⁵¹And when he came to the house, he suffered not any man to enter in with him, save Peter, and John, and James, and the father of the maiden and her mother.

⁵²Uye vose vakachema, vachimuririra. Asi wakati: Musachema, haana kufa, asi uvete.

⁵²And all were weeping, and bewailing her: but he said, Weep not; for she is not dead, but sleepeth.

⁵³Vakamuseka nekumhura, vachiziva kuti wafa.

⁵³And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.

⁵⁴Asi wakavabudisira vose panze, akamubata ruoko, akadanidzira, achiti: Musikana, muka!

⁵⁴But he, taking her by the hand, called, saying, Maiden, arise.

⁵⁵Mweya wake ukadzoka, akamuka pakarepo; akaraira kuti apiwe chikafu.

⁵⁵And her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately: and he commanded that [something] be given her to eat.

⁵⁶Zvino vabereki vake vakavhiringidzika; asi wakavaraira kuti varege kuudza munhu zvakaitika.

⁵⁶And her parents were amazed: but he charged them to tell no man what had been done.
