¹Zvino Jesu wakatungamirirwa neMweya kurenje kuti anoidzwa nadhiabhorosi.

¹Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

²Zvino wakati atsanya mazuva makumi mana neusiku makumi mana, akazonzwa nzara.

²When he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was hungry afterward.

³Zvino muidzi wakati auya kwaari, akati: Kana uri Mwanakomana waMwari, raira kuti mabwe awa aite zvingwa.

³The tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”

⁴Asi iye wakapindura akati: Kwakanyorwa kuchinzi: Munhu haangararami nechingwa choga, asi neshoko rimwe nerimwe rinobuda mumuromo maMwari.

⁴But he answered, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.’” Deuteronomy 8:3

⁵Zvino dhiabhorosi akamutora akamuisa muguta dzvene, akamumisa pachiruvu chetembere,

⁵Then the devil took him into the holy city. He set him on the pinnacle of the temple,

⁶ndokuti kwaari: Kana uri Mwanakomana waMwari, zvikandire pasi; nekuti kwakanyorwa kuti: Iye ucharaira vatumwa vake pamusoro pako, pamaoko vachakugamha, zvimwe ungagumbusa rutsoka rwako pabwe.

⁶and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, ‘He will put his angels in charge of you.’ and, ‘On their hands they will bear you up, so that you don’t dash your foot against a stone.’” Psalm 91:11-12

⁷Jesu akati kwaari: Kwakanyorwa zvekare: Usaidza Ishe Mwari wako.

⁷Jesus said to him, “Again, it is written, ‘You shall not test the Lord, your God.’” Deuteronomy 6:16

⁸Dhiabhorosi akamuisazve pagomo refusa, akamuratidza ushe hwose hwenyika, nekubwinya kwahwo.

⁸Again, the devil took him to an exceedingly high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory.

⁹Akati kwaari: Zvose zvinhu izvi ndichapa kwauri kana ukawira pasi ukandinamata.

⁹He said to him, “I will give you all of these things, if you will fall down and worship me.”

¹⁰Ipapo Jesu akati kwaari: Ibva, Satani, nekuti kwakanyorwa kuchinzi: Uchanamata Ishe Mwari wako, uchashumira iye woga.

¹⁰Then Jesus said to him, “Get behind me, TR and NU read “Go away” instead of “Get behind me” Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.’” Deuteronomy 6:13

¹¹Ipapo dhiabhorosi akamusiya; zvino tarira, vatumwa vakauya vakamushandira.

¹¹Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and served him.

¹²Zvino Jesu wakati anzwa kuti Johwani wakumikidzwa mutirongo, akabva akaenda Garirea.

¹²Now when Jesus heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee.

¹³Zvino wakabva Nazareta, akauya akagara muKapenaumi riri pagungwa, mumiganhu yeZebhuroni neNafitarimi;

¹³Leaving Nazareth, he came and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,

¹⁴kuti zvizadziswe zvakarehwa naIsaya muporofita, achiti:

¹⁴that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,

¹⁵Nyika yeZebhuroni nenyika yeNefitarimi, panzira yegungwa, mhiri kwaJoridhani, Garirea revahedheni;

¹⁵“The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, toward the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,

¹⁶vanhu vakange vagere murima vakaona chiedza chikuru; nevakange vagere panharaunda nemumumvuri werufu, chiedza chakabudira kwavari.

¹⁶the people who sat in darkness saw a great light, to those who sat in the region and shadow of death, to them light has dawned.” Isaiah 9:1-2

¹⁷Kubvira panguva iyoyo Jesu wakatanga kuparidza nekuti: Tendeukai, nekuti ushe hwekumatenga hwaswedera.

¹⁷From that time, Jesus began to preach, and to say, “Repent! For the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.”

¹⁸Zvino Jesu wakati achifamba-famba pagungwa reGarirea akaona vanakomana vemunhu umwe vaviri, Simoni anonzi Petro, naAndiriya munin'ina wake, vachikandira mumbure mugungwa; nekuti vakange vari varedzi.

¹⁸Walking by the sea of Galilee, he TR reads “Jesus” instead of “he” saw two brothers: Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

¹⁹Akati kwavari: Nditeverei, ndigokuitai varedzi vevanhu.

¹⁹He said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you fishers for men.”

²⁰Pakarepo vakasiya mimbure vakamutevera.

²⁰They immediately left their nets and followed him.

²¹Zvino wakati apfuurira kubva ipapo akaona vamwe vaviri vanakomana vemunhu umwe, Jakobho waZebhedhi naJohwani munin'ina wake muchikepe pamwe naZebhedhi baba vavo, vachigadzira mimbure yavo, akavadana.

²¹Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. He called them.

²²Pakarepo vakasiya chikepe nababa vavo vakamutevera.

²²They immediately left the boat and their father, and followed him.

²³Jesu akapota neGarirea rose achidzidzisa mumasinagoge avo, nekuparidza evhangeri yeushe, achiporesa denda roga roga neurwere hwoga hwoga pavanhu.

²³Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.

²⁴Shoko rake rikabudira kuSiria yose; vakauyisa kwaari varwere vose, vakabatwa nehosha dzakasiyana-siyana nemarwadzo, nevakange vane madhimoni, nevaiva nezvipusha, nevakange vakafa mitezo; akavaporesa.

²⁴The report about him went out into all Syria. They brought to him all who were sick, afflicted with various diseases and torments, possessed with demons, epileptics, and paralytics; and he healed them.

²⁵Zvino zvaunga zvikuru zvakamutevera, vaibva Garirea, neDhekapori, neJerusarema, neJudhiya, nemhiri kwaJoridhani.

²⁵Great multitudes from Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea and from beyond the Jordan followed him.
