¹Panguva iyo Herodhe umwe wevatongi vana wakanzwa mukurumbira waJesu,

¹Pe kodia vriama o Herod o tetrarch, ashundias e viasta pa O Jesus.

²akati kuvaranda vake: Uyu ndiJohwani Mubhabhatidzi; iye wakamuka kuvakafa, naizvozvo mabasa esimba awa anobata maari.

²Ai phenel peske slugenge, "Kado si o Iovano o baptisto, zhuvindisailo pai martia, anda kodia si les e putiera te kerel mirakluria."

³Nekuti Herodhe wakange abata Johwani akamusunga akamuisa mutirongo nekuda kwaHerodhiasi mukadzi waFiripi munin'ina wake.

³O Herod astardias le Iovanos, phanglia les lantsonsa ai thodia les ande temnitsa, palai Herodias, e rhomni leske phraleski o Philip.

⁴Nekuti Johwani wakange ati kwaari: Hazvitenderwi kwauri kuti uve naye.

⁴Ke o Iovano phenelas leske, "Nai tuke slobodo te les la!"

⁵Zvino wakange achida kumuuraya, akatya chaunga, nekuti vaimutora semuporofita.

⁵Wo mangelas te mudarel le Iovanos, numa daralas katar o narodo, ke sa o narodo jinenas les profeto.

⁶Asi kwakati kuchichengetedzwa zuva rekuberekwa kwaHerodhe, mukunda waHerodhiasi akatamba pakati pavo, akafadza Herodhe.

⁶Po dies kai arakhadilo, dine pachiv le Herodos, e shei la Herodiaki kheldias lenge, ai de sa zurales plachalias le Herodos.

⁷Naizvozvo wakavimbisa nemhiko kuti uchamupa chipi nechipi chaaizokumbira.

⁷Anda kudia solaxadias, te del la so godi mangel.

⁸Zvino iye, wakati amborairwa namai vake, akati: Ndipei pano mundiro musoro waJohwani Mubhabhatidzi.

⁸Pala laka dako sikaimos phendias, An mange pek charo o shero le Iovanosko o baptisto.'

⁹Mambo akashungurudzika, asi nekuda kwemhiko, uye kwevakange vagere naye pakudya, wakaraira kuti apiwe.

⁹O amperato nekezhisailo, numa ke solaxadias angla o narodo phendias te den la so mangel.

¹⁰Akatuma vanhu akagura Johwani musoro mutirongo.

¹⁰Tradia te shinen o shero le Iovanosko ande temnitsa.

¹¹Musoro wake ukauyiswa mundiro, ukapiwa kumusikana, akauisa kuna mai vake.

¹¹Andine lesko shero pek charo, dine les kai shei, ai woi angerdia les ka peski dei.

¹²Vadzidzi vake vakauya vakatora mutumbi vakauviga, ndokuenda ndokuudza Jesu.

¹²Leske disipluria avile, line lesko stato, groposarde les; ai gele ka Jesus ta phende leske so kerdiliape.

¹³Jesu wakati azvinzwa, akabvapo nechikepe, akaenda kunzvimbo yerenje ari oga; asi zvaunga zvakati zvichizvinzwa zvikamutevera netsoka zvichibva mumaguta.

¹³Kana O Jesus ashundias so kerdiliape, gelotar pek chuno korkorho kai nas khonik, o narodo andal foruria ashunde kodia, ai linepe pala leste telal.

¹⁴Zvino Jesu wakati abuda akaona chaunga chikuru, akavanzwira tsitsi, akaporesa varwere vavo.

¹⁴Kana O Jesus avilo palpale, dikhlias baro narodo, pelias leske mila anda lende, ai sastiardias lenge naswalen.

¹⁵Zvino ava madekwana, vadzidzi vake vakauya kwaari vachiti: Iyi inzvimbo yerenje, uye ikozvino nguva dzaenda; regai zvaunga zviende, kuti vaende kumisha vanozvitengera chikafu.

¹⁵Kana e riat perelas le disipluria avile leste ai phende," Vuzhe pozno ai nai khanchi katse. Trade le narodos te zhantar, te zhan andel foruria te chinen peske te xan."

¹⁶Asi Jesu wakati kwavari: Havafaniri kuenda; vapei imwi kuti vadye.

¹⁶Numa O Jesus phendias lenge, 'Chi trobul te zhantar, den le tume te xan!"

¹⁷Asi vakati kwaari: Hatina pano kunze kwezvingwa zvishanu nehove mbiri.

¹⁷Won phende leske, "Ferdi panzh manrhe ai dui mashe si ame."

¹⁸Iye akati: Uyai nazvo pano pandiri.

¹⁸"Anen le mande," phendias O Jesus.

¹⁹Akaraira zvaunga kuti zvigare pasi pauswa, akatora zvingwa zvishanu nehove mbiri, ndokutarira kumusoro kudenga, akazviropafadza, akamedura ndokupa zvingwa kuvadzidzi, vadzidzi vakapa kuzvaunga.

¹⁹O Jesus phendias le narodoske te beshen tele pe char; lias le panzh manrhe ai le dui mashe, vazdia le iakha karing o rhaio, ai naisisardias ai phaglias le manrhe, dias le kal disipluria, ai le disipluria dine le ka narodo.

²⁰Vakadya vose, vakaguta, vakaunganidza zvimedu zvakasara, matengu gumi nemaviri azere.

²⁰Savorhe xale ai chailile. Kana le disipluria chide le kotora kai ashshile desh u dui kozhnitsi pherde sas.

²¹Uye vakange vadya vaiva varume zvuru zvishanu pasina vakadzi nevana vaduku.

²¹Kodola kai xale sas panzh mi mursh, ai vi zhuvlia ai glate sas.

²²Pakarepo Jesu wakamanikidza vadzidzi vake kupinda muchikepe, vamutungamirire mhiri, iye acharega zvaunga zvichienda.

²²Strazo O Jesus kerdias te anklen le disipluria ando pamphuri te zhan mai anglal lestar pe kaver rig le paieske, zhi pon wo tradias le narodos te zhantar.

²³Zvino wakati arega zvaunga zvichienda, akakwira mugomo ari oga kunonyengetera; akati ava madekwana, wakange ari oga ipapo.

²³Kana tradias le narodos te zhantar, gelo opre ande plai korkorho te rhujilpe. Kana peli e riat, kote sas korkorho.

²⁴Asi chikepe zvino chakange chava pakati pegungwa chichivheyeswa nemafungu; nekuti mhepo yakange ichipikisa.

²⁴O pamphuri sas mashkaral e maria, ai buntuime sas katar le talazuria ke e barval phurdelas zurales.

²⁵Nenguva yechina yemurindiro yeusiku Jesu akaenda kwavari achifamba pamusoro pegungwa.

²⁵Mashkar le trin ai le shov chasuria diminiatsako O Jesus avilo karing lende, phirelas po pai.

²⁶Zvino vadzidzi vakati vachimuona achifamba pamusoro pegungwa, vakavhunduka vachiti idzangaradzimu. Vakadanidzira nekutya.

²⁶Kana le disipluria dikhle les ke phirel po pai, daraile. Ai tsipinas, "Choxano si!"

²⁷Asi pakarepo Jesu wakataura navo akati: Tsungai moyo; ndini; musatya.

²⁷Numa strazo O Jesus phendias lenge, "Aven veselo, ke me sim, Na daran!"

²⁸Petro ndokumupindura akati: Ishe, kana muri imwi ndirairei ndiuye kwamuri pamusoro pemvura.

²⁸O Petri dias mui, "Gazda, te san tu, akhar ma te avav tute po pai."

²⁹Ndokubva ati: Uya. Petro ndokuburuka muchikepe akafamba pamusoro pemvura, kuenda kuna Jesu.

²⁹"Aidi," phendias. Antunchi o Petri anklisto anda pamphuri ai phirdias po pai karing O Jesus.

³⁰Asi wakati achiona mhepo ine simba akatya; zvino otanga kunyura, akadanidzira, achiti: Ishe, ndiponesei!

³⁰Numa kana thodias sama ke e barval phurdel zurales, darailo, antunchi tasolas ai tsipisardias, "Gazda, skepisar ma!"

³¹Pakarepo Jesu wakatandavadza ruoko, akamubata, akati kwaari: Iwe werutendo ruduku, unokononei?

³¹Strazo O Jesus anzardias pesko vas, astardia les ai phendia leske, "Tu kai si tu xantsi pachamos! Sostar chi pachaian?"

³²Vakati vapinda muchikepe, mhepo ikanyarara.

³²Kana ankliste ando pamphuri, e barval aterdili.

³³Vakange vari muchikepe ndokuuya vakamunamata vachiti: Zvirokwazvo muri Mwanakomana waMwari.

³³Ai kodola kai sas ando pamphuri luvudisarde ai preznaisarde les phenenas, "Chaches tu san O Shav le Devlesko!"

³⁴Vakati vayambuka, vakasvika panyika yeGenesareti.

³⁴Kana aresle inchal ando them sas kai bushol Gennesaret.

³⁵Varume venzvimbo iyo vakati vamuziva, vakatuma shoko panyika yose iyo yakapoteredza, vakauyisa kwaari vose vairwara.

³⁵Kana le manush kotsar prinzharde les, trade divano ande sa o them ai le manush andine sa penge naswalen leste.

³⁶Vakakumbirisa kwaari kuti vabate chete mupendero wenguvo yake; uye vose vakabata vakaporeswa.

³⁶Rhugisaile leste te mekel le naswalen, ferdi te azban e tivala leske raxamaki, ai kon godi azbadias leski raxami sastile.
