¹When he came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.

¹Wakati aburuka mugomo, zvaunga zvikuru zvakamutevera.

²Behold, a leper came to him and worshiped him, saying, “Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean.”

²Zvino tarira, kwakauya une maperembudzi, akamufugamira achiti: Ishe, kana muchida, munogona kundinatsa.

³Jesus stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, “I want to. Be made clean.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

³Jesu akatandavadza ruoko, akamubata, achiti: Ndinoda, chinatswa. Pakarepo maperembudzi ake akanatswa.

⁴Jesus said to him, “See that you tell nobody, but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”

⁴Zvino Jesu akati kwaari: Ona kuti usaudza munhu, asi enda unozviratidza kumupristi, ubayire chipo Mozisi chaakaraira, chive uchapupu kwavari.

⁵When he came into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking him,

⁵Zvino Jesu wakati apinda muKapenaume, kwakauya kwaari mukuru wezana, achimukumbirisa,

⁶and saying, “Lord, my servant lies in the house paralyzed, grievously tormented.”

⁶achiti: Ishe, muranda wangu uvete kumba, wakafa mutezo, anotambudzika kwazvo.

⁷Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”

⁷Zvino Jesu akati kwaari: Ndichauya kuzomuporesa.

⁸The centurion answered, “Lord, I’m not worthy for you to come under my roof. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

⁸Mukuru wezana akapindura akati: Ishe, handina kufanira kuti mupinde pasi pedenga remba yangu; asi taurai shoko chete, zvino muranda wangu uchaporeswa.

⁹For I am also a man under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and tell another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and tell my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

⁹Nekuti neniwo ndiri munhu uri pasi pesimba, ndine mauto pasi pangu; zvino ndinoti kune uyu: Enda, anoenda; nekune umwe: Uya, anouya; nekumuranda wangu: Ita ichi, anoita.

¹⁰When Jesus heard it, he marveled, and said to those who followed, “Most certainly I tell you, I haven’t found so great a faith, not even in Israel.

¹⁰Jesu wakati achizvinzwa akashamisika, akati kune vaimutevera: Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Handina kuwana rutendo rukuru rwakadai kunyange pakati paIsraeri.

¹¹ I tell you that many will come from the east and the west, and will sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the Kingdom of Heaven,

¹¹Zvino ndinoti kwamuri: Vazhinji vachauya vachibva kumabvazuva nemavirira, vachagara pakudya naAbhurahamu naIsaka naJakobho, muushe hwekumatenga;

¹² but the children of the Kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

¹²asi vana veushe vachakandirwa kunze kurima rekunze; ikoko kuchava nekuchema nekugeda-geda kwemeno.

¹³Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way. Let it be done for you as you have believed.” His servant was healed in that hour.

¹³Zvino Jesu akati kumukuru wezana: Enda, zviitirwe kwauri sezvawakatenda. Muranda wake akapora nenguva iyoyo.

¹⁴When Jesus came into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother lying sick with a fever.

¹⁴Jesu wakati apinda mumba maPetro, akaona mbuyawasha vake vakaradzikwa vane fivhiri.

¹⁵He touched her hand, and the fever left her. She got up and served him. TR reads “them” instead of “him”

¹⁵Akabata ruoko rwavo, fivhiri ikabva kwavari; vakasimuka vakavashandira.

¹⁶When evening came, they brought to him many possessed with demons. He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick;

¹⁶Zvino ava madekwana vakauyisa kwaari vazhinji vaiva vakabatwa nemadhimoni; akabudisa mweya neshoko, akaporesa vose vairwara;

¹⁷that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying: “He took our infirmities, and bore our diseases.” Isaiah 53:4

¹⁷kuti zvizadziswe zvakataurwa naIsaya muporofita achiti: Iye wakatora utera hwedu, akatakura matenda edu.

¹⁸Now when Jesus saw great multitudes around him, he gave the order to depart to the other side.

¹⁸Jesu wakati achiona zvaunga zvikuru zvakamukomba, akaraira kuti vabve vaende mhiri.

¹⁹A scribe came, and said to him, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”

¹⁹Umwe munyori ndokuswedera akati kwaari: Mudzidzisi, ndichakuteverai kose kwamunoenda.

²⁰Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.”

²⁰Zvino Jesu akati kwaari: Makava ane mwena, neshiri dzedenga matendere; asi Mwanakomana wemunhu haana paangatsamhidza musoro.

²¹Another of his disciples said to him, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”

²¹Umwe wevadzidzi vake akati kwaari: Ishe, ndiregei nditange ndaenda ndinoviga baba vangu.

²²But Jesus said to him, “Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead.”

²²Asi Jesu wakati kwaari: Nditevere, urege vakafa vavige vakafa vavo.

²³When he got into a boat, his disciples followed him.

²³Zvino wakati apinda muchikepe, vadzidzi vake vakamutevera.

²⁴Behold, a violent storm came up on the sea, so much that the boat was covered with the waves, but he was asleep.

²⁴Zvino tarira, dutu guru remhepo rakamuka mugungwa, zvekuti igwa rakange rofukidzwa nemafungu; asi iye wakange avete.

²⁵They came to him, and woke him up, saying, “Save us, Lord! We are dying!”

²⁵Zvino vadzidzi vake vakaswedera vakamumutsa vachiti: Ishe, tiponesei, toparara!

²⁶He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then he got up, rebuked the wind and the sea, and there was a great calm.

²⁶Zvino akati kwavari: Munotyirei, imwi verutendo rushoma? Ndokusimuka, akatsiura mitutu negungwa; kudzikama kukuru kukavapo.

²⁷The men marveled, saying, “What kind of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”

²⁷Asi vanhu vakashamisika vachiti: Uyu munhu rudzii unoti kunyange mitutu negungwa zvinomuteerera?

²⁸When he came to the other side, into the country of the Gergesenes, NU reads “Gadarenes” two people possessed by demons met him there, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that nobody could pass that way.

²⁸Wakati asvika kune rimwe divi kunyika yevaGerigesi, vakamuchingamidza vaviri vaiva nemadhimoni, vachibuda kumarinda, vane hasha kwazvo-kwazvo, zvekuti kwakange kusina munhu waigona kupfuura nenzira iyo.

²⁹Behold, they cried out, saying, “What do we have to do with you, Jesus, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?”

²⁹Zvino tarira, vakadanidzira vachiti: Tinei nemwi, Jesu, Mwanakomana waMwari? Mauya pano kuzotirwadzisa nguva isati yasvika here?

³⁰Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding far away from them.

³⁰Zvino kure navo kwakange kune boka renguruve zhinji richifudzwa.

³¹The demons begged him, saying, “If you cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of pigs.”

³¹Madhimoni akamukumbirisa achiti: Kana muchitibudisa, titenderei kuti tiende tinopinda muboka renguruve.

³²He said to them, “Go!” They came out, and went into the herd of pigs: and behold, the whole herd of pigs rushed down the cliff into the sea, and died in the water.

³²Zvino akati kwaari: Endai. Zvino akati abuda, akapinda muboka renguruve; zvino tarira, boka rose renguruve rakamhanyira kwazvo kumateru kugungwa, dzikafira mumvura.

³³Those who fed them fled, and went away into the city, and told everything, including what happened to those who were possessed with demons.

³³Zvino vaidzifudza vakatiza, vakaenda kuguta, vakapira zvose zvevakange vane madhimoni.

³⁴Behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus. When they saw him, they begged that he would depart from their borders.

³⁴Zvino tarira, guta rose rakabuda kunochingamidza Jesu; zvino vakati vamuona, vakagombetedza kuti abve pamiganhu yavo.
