¹He entered into a boat, and crossed over, and came into his own city.

¹Akabva apinda mugwa, akayambuka ndokusvika muguta rake pachake.

²Behold, they brought to him a man who was paralyzed, lying on a bed. Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, cheer up! Your sins are forgiven you.”

²Zvino tarira, vakauyisa kwaari wakange akafa mitezo, avete pauchanja; zvino Jesu achiona rutendo rwavo akati kune wakange akafa mitezo: Tsunga moyo, mwana, wakangamwirwa zvivi zvako.

³Behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man blasphemes.”

³Zvino tarira, vamwe vevanyori vakati mukati mavo: Uyu unonyomba.

⁴Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts?

⁴Asi Jesu achiona mifungo yavo wakati: Munofungirei zvakaipa mumoyo yenyu?

⁵ For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven;’ or to say, ‘Get up, and walk?’

⁵Nekuti ndechipi chakareruka, kuti: Wakangamwirwa zvivi zvako; kana kuti: Simuka ufambe?

⁶ But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...” (then he said to the paralytic), “Get up, and take up your mat, and go up to your house.”

⁶Asi kuti muzive kuti Mwanakomana wemunhu une simba panyika rekukangamwira zvivi (wakabva ati kune wakange akafa mitezo): Simuka, tora uchanja hwako, uende kumba kwako.

⁷He arose and departed to his house.

⁷Akasimuka, akaenda kumba kwake.

⁸But when the multitudes saw it, they marveled and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

⁸Zvaunga zvakati zvichizviona zvikashamisika, zvikarumbidza Mwari, wakapa simba rakadai kuvanhu.

⁹As Jesus passed by from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax collection office. He said to him, “Follow me.” He got up and followed him.

⁹Zvino Jesu wakati achipfuurapo akaona munhu unonzi Matewu agere pahofisi yemutero, akati kwaari: Nditevere! Ndokusimuka, akamutevera.

¹⁰It happened as he sat in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.

¹⁰Zvino zvakaitika agere pakudya mumba, tarira, vateresi vazhinji nevatadzi vakauya vakagara pakudya naJesu nevadzidzi vake.

¹¹When the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

¹¹Zvino vaFarisi vakati vachizviona, vakati kuvadzidzi vake: Nemhaka yei mudzidzisi wenyu achidya nevateresi nevatadzi?

¹²When Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.

¹²Asi Jesu wakati anzwa, akati kwavari: Vakagwinya havadi murapi asi vanorwara.

¹³ But you go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ Hosea 6:6 for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. NU omits “to repentance”. ”

¹³Asi endai mudzidze kuti zvinorevei kuti: Ndinoda tsitsi uye kwete chibayiro; nekuti handina kuuya kuzodana vakarurama, asi vatadzi vauye mukutendeuka.

¹⁴Then John’s disciples came to him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples don’t fast?”

¹⁴Ipapo kwakasvika kwaari vadzidzi vaJohwani, vachiti: Nemhaka yei isu nevaFarisi tichitsanya kazhinji, asi vadzidzi venyu vasingatsanyi?

¹⁵Jesus said to them, “Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.

¹⁵Jesu ndokuti kwavari: Vana veimba yemuchato vangachema here apo muwani anavo? Asi mazuva achasvika achabviswa muwani kwavari, ipapo vachatsanya.

¹⁶ No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch would tear away from the garment, and a worse hole is made.

¹⁶Hakuna unoisa chigamba chemucheka usakaunyana panguvo sharu, nekuti icho chinonamirwa pairi chinobvarura panguvo, buri rikanyanya.

¹⁷ Neither do people put new wine into old wineskins, or else the skins would burst, and the wine be spilled, and the skins ruined. No, they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.”

¹⁷Uye havadiri waini itsva muhombodo tsaru; zvikasadaro hombodo dzinoputika, waini ikateuka, nehombodo dzikaparara; asi vanodira waini itsva muhombodo itsva, zvichengeteke zviri zviviri.

¹⁸While he told these things to them, behold, a ruler came and worshiped him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.”

¹⁸Wakati achitaura zvinhu izvozvi kwavari, tarira, kwakasvika umwe mutungamiriri akamufugamira, akati: Mukunda wangu uchangofa; asi uyai muise ruoko rwenyu pamusoro pake, uye uchararama.

¹⁹Jesus got up and followed him, as did his disciples.

¹⁹Jesu ndokusimuka akamutevera, nevadzidzi vake.

²⁰Behold, a woman who had an issue of blood for twelve years came behind him, and touched the fringe or, tassel of his garment;

²⁰Zvino, tarira, mukadzi waiva nekubuda ropa makore gumi nemaviri, wakaswedera shure kwake, akabata mupendero wenguvo yake.

²¹for she said within herself, “If I just touch his garment, I will be made well.”

²¹Nekuti wakati mukati make: Kana ndikangobata nguvo yake, ndichaporeswa.

²²But Jesus, turning around and seeing her, said, “Daughter, cheer up! Your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour.

²²Asi Jesu wakatendeuka akati amuona, akati: Mukunda, tsunga moyo; rutendo rwako rwakuponesa. Mukadzi ndokuponeswa kubva panguva iyo.

²³When Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the flute players, and the crowd in noisy disorder,

²³Jesu ndokusvika mumba memutungamiriri akaona varidzi venyere nechaunga chichiita nyonga-nyonga,

²⁴he said to them, “Make room, because the girl isn’t dead, but sleeping.” They were ridiculing him.

²⁴akati kwavari: Ibvai; nekuti musikana haana kufa, asi uvete. Ndokumuseka vachimusvabaidza.

²⁵But when the crowd was put out, he entered in, took her by the hand, and the girl arose.

²⁵Asi chaunga chakati chabudiswa, akapinda, ndokubata ruoko rwake, musikana ndokumuka.

²⁶The report of this went out into all that land.

²⁶Mukurumbira uyu ukabudira kunyika iyo yose.

²⁷As Jesus passed by from there, two blind men followed him, calling out and saying, “Have mercy on us, son of David!”

²⁷Zvino Jesu wakati opfuurapo, mapofu maviri akamutevera, achidanidzira achiti: Tinzwirei tsitsi, Mwanakomana waDhavhidhi!

²⁸When he had come into the house, the blind men came to him. Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They told him, “Yes, Lord.”

²⁸Zvino wakati apinda mumba, mapofu akauya kwaari; Jesu akati kwaari: Munotenda kuti ndinogona kuita izvozvi here? Akati kwaari: Hongu, Ishe.

²⁹Then he touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith be it done to you.”

²⁹Ipapo wakabata meso avo achiti: Ngazviitike kwamuri maererano nerutendo rwenyu.

³⁰Their eyes were opened. Jesus strictly commanded them, saying, “See that no one knows about this.”

³⁰Zvino meso avo akasvinudzwa; Jesu akavarairisa achiti: Onai kuti hakuna unozviziva.

³¹But they went out and spread abroad his fame in all that land.

³¹Asi vakati vabuda, vakaparidzira mukurumbira wake munyika iyo yose.

³²As they went out, behold, a mute man who was demon possessed was brought to him.

³²Zvino vakati vachibuda, tarira, vakauyisa kwaari munhu chimumumu waiva nedhimoni.

³³When the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke. The multitudes marveled, saying, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”

³³Zvino dhimoni rakati rabudiswa, chimumumu chikataura; zvaunga zvikashamisika zvikati: Hakuna kumboonekwa zvakadai muna Israeri.

³⁴But the Pharisees said, “By the prince of the demons, he casts out demons.”

³⁴Asi vaFarisi vakati: Unobudisa madhimoni nemukuru wemadhimoni.

³⁵Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.

³⁵Zvino Jesu wakapota nemaguta ose nemisha, achidzidzisa mumasinagoge avo, nekuparidza evhangeri yeushe, nekuporesa matenda ose neurwere hwoga hwoga pakati pevanhu.

³⁶But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed TR reads “weary” instead of “harassed” and scattered, like sheep without a shepherd.

³⁶Asi wakati achiona zvaunga, akavanzwira tsitsi, nekuti vakange vaneta, vakapararira semakwai asina mufudzi.

³⁷Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest indeed is plentiful, but the laborers are few.

³⁷Ipapo akati kuvadzidzi vake: Zvirokwazvo mukoho mukuru, asi vashandi vashoma;

³⁸ Pray therefore that the Lord of the harvest will send out laborers into his harvest.”

³⁸naizvozvo kumbirisai kuna Ishe wemukoho, kuti atumire vabati pamukoho wake.
