Mark 4
1 And again he began to teach by the sea. And a great multitude was gathered to him, so as for him, after entering into the boat, to sit on the sea, and all the multitude was by the sea on the land.
Zvino wakatangazve kudzidzisa parutivi rwegungwa; kukaungana kwaari chaunga chikuru zvekuti wakapinda muchikepe akagara mugungwa; uye chaunga chese chakange chiri pagungwa panyika.
2 And he taught them many things in parables, and said to them in his teaching,
Akavadzidzisa zvinhu zvizhinji nemifananidzo, akati kwavari padzidziso yake:
3 Listen. Behold, the man who sows went forth to sow.
Inzwai; tarirai, mukushi wakabuda kunokusha.
4 And it came to pass during the sowing, some fell by the path, and the birds came and devoured it.
Zvino zvakaitika pakukusha, imwe yakawira parutivi rwenzira; shiri dzekudenga dzikauya dzikaidya dzikaipedza.
5 And others fell on the rocky ground where it had not much soil. And straightaway it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.
Asi imwe yakawira panzvimbo dzine mabwe, payakange isina ivhu zhinji; pakarepo ikamera, nokuti yakange isina udziku hwevhu;
6 And when the sun was risen it was scorched, and because it had no root it dried out.
asi zuva rakati rabuda, yakapiswa, uye nokuti yakange isina mudzi, yakasvava.
7 And others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it gave no fruit.
Uye imwe yakawira paminzwa, minzwa ikakura ikaivhunga, ikasabereka chibereko.
8 And others fell into the good ground and gave fruit, coming up and increasing, and brought forth, one thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred.
Uye imwe yakawira muvhu rakanaka; ikabereka chibereko chakakura ikawedzera, ikabereka, imwe makumi matatu, neimwe makumi matanhatu, neimwe zana.
9 And he said, He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
Ndokuti kwavari: Ane nzeve dzekunzwa, ngaanzwe.
10 And when he became alone, those around him, with the twelve, asked him the parable.
Zvino wakati ava ega, vakange vakamukomba nevanegumi nevaviri vakamubvunza zvemufananidzo.
11 And he said to them, To you is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God, but to those outside, all things occur in parables.
Uye akati kwavari: Kwamuri kwakapiwa kuziva chakavanzika cheushe hwaMwari; asi kune avo vari kunze, zvese zvinoitwa nemifananidzo;
12 So that seeing they may see, and not perceive, and hearing they may hear, and not understand, lest they should turn, and the sins would be forgiven them.
kuti vachiona vaone asi varege kuonesesa, vachinzwa vanzwe asi vasinganzwisisi, zvimwe chero nguva varege kutendeuka, vakanganwirwe zvivi.
13 And he says to them, Do ye not know this parable? And how will ye understand all the parables?
Zvino akati kwavari: Hamuzivi mufananidzo uyu here? Zvino muchaziva sei mifananidzo yese?
14 The man who sows sows the word.
Mukushi unokusha shoko.
15 And these are those by the path where the word is sown. And whenever they may hear, straightaway Satan comes, and takes away the word that has been sown in their hearts.
Zvino ava ndivo veparutivi rwenzira, apo panokushwa shoko, uye kana vachirinzwa, pakarepo Satani anouya ndokubvisa shoko rakakushwa mumoyo yavo.
16 And these in like manner are those being sown upon the rocky places, who, whenever they may hear the word, straightaway receive it with joy.
Uye saizvozvo ava ndivo vakakushwa panzvimbo dzine mabwe, ivo kana vanzwa shoko, pakarepo vanorigamuchira nemufaro,
17 And they have no root in themselves, but are temporary. Afterward, when tribulation or persecution develops because of the word, straightaway they are caused to stumble.
asi havana mudzi mavari, asi ndevenguva; pashure kana matambudziko kana kushushwa zvichiuya nekuda kweshoko, pakarepo vanogumburwa.
18 And these are those being sown in the thorns, who hear the word,
Zvino ava ndivo vanokushwa muminzwa, vanonzwa shoko,
19 and the cares of this age, and the deceitfulness of wealth, and the cravings about other things entering in, choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
asi kufunganya kwenyika ino nekunyengera kwefuma neruchiva pamusoro pezvimwe zvinhu zvichipinda, zvichivhunga shoko, rova risingabereki. (aiōn g165)
20 And these are those that were sown upon the good ground, who hear the word and receive it, and bear fruit, one thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred.
Naava ndivo vakakushwa muvhu rakanaka, ndivo vanonzwa shoko, ndokugamuchira, vagobereka chibereko, umwe makumi matatu, uye umwe makumi matanhatu, uye umwe zana.
21 And he said to them, Does the lamp come so that it might be put under the bushel or under the bed? Is it not so that it might be put on the lampstand?
Zvino wakati kwavari: Mwenje unouiswa kuti uiswe pasi pedengu kana pasi pemubhedha here? Kwete kuti uiswe pachigadziko chemwenje here?
22 For there is not anything hid, except that it may be revealed, nor become secret, but that it may come to be visible.
Nokuti hapana chakavigwa chisingazovhundunurwi, kana chakachengetwa chakavanda, asi kuti zvibude pachena.
23 If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.
Kana munhu ane nzeve dzekunzwa, ngaanzwe.
24 And he said to them, Watch what ye hear. By what measure ye measure, it will be measured to you, and to those who hear, it will be added to you.
Zvino wakati kwavari: Chenjererai zvamunonzwa; nechiyero chamunoyera nacho chichayerwa kwamuri, nekwamuri imwi munonzwa, chichawedzerwa.
25 For whoever has, to him it will be given. And he who has not, even what he has will be taken away from him.
Nokuti ani nani anacho achapiwa; asi asina achatorerwa kunyange nechaanacho.
26 And he said, Thus is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground,
Zvino akati: Hwakadaro ushe hwaMwari, sezvinonzi munhu anokusha mbeu muvhu.
27 and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should sprout and lengthen, he knows not how.
Zvino orara nekumuka usiku nemasikati, mbeu inomera ichikura iye asingazivi kuti sei.
28 For the earth bears fruit spontaneously, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
Nokuti ivhu rinozviberekera chibereko pacharo, pakutanga chipande, pashure hura, pashure zviyo zvakakora pahura.
29 But when the fruit yields, straightaway he sends forth the sickle, because the harvest has come.
Asi kana chibereko chaibva, pakarepo anotuma jeko nokuti kukohwa kwasvika.
30 And he said, To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or by what parable shall we compare it?
Zvino wakati: Tichafananidza nei ushe hwaMwari? Kana tingahuenzanisa nemuenzaniso upi?
31 It is like a grain of the mustard plant, which, when it is sown in the ground, is smaller than all the seeds upon the ground.
Setsanga yemasitadha, iyo kana ichidzvarwa muvhu, idikisa kumbeu dzese dzepanyika;
32 Yet when it is sown, it goes up and becomes greater than all the plants, and it makes great branches, so that the birds of the sky can lodge under the shade of it.
asi kana yadzvarwa, inokura ichiva huru kumiriwo yese, ichiita matavi makuru zvekuti shiri dzekudenga dzinogona kuvakira pasi pemumvuri wawo.
33 And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
Zvino nemifananidzo mizhinji yakadaro wakataura shoko kwavari, sepavaigona kunzwa napo.
34 And he did not speak to them apart from a parable, but privately he explained all things to his disciples.
Asi kunze kwemufananidzo haana kutaura kwavari; asi vava vega, wakadudzira vadzidzi vake zvese.
35 And on that day, having become evening, he says to them, Let us pass through to the other side.
Zvino nezuva iro ava madekwani, wakati kwavari: Ngatiyambukire mhiri.
36 And having sent the multitude away, they bring him along as he was in the boat. And other small boats were also with him.
Vakarega chaunga chichienda, vakaenda naye akangodaro muchikepe. Zvino kwaivawo nemamwe magwa naye.
37 And a great storm of wind develops, and the waves were thrown into the boat, so as for it now to be filling.
Zvino kwakamuka dutu guru remhepo, mafungu akazvirovera muchikepe, zvekuti chakange zvino chozadzwa.
38 And he himself was in the stern sleeping on the cushion. And they awake him, and say to him, Teacher, does it not concern thee that we perish?
Asi iye wakange ari shure muchikepe arere pamutsago; vakamumutsa, vakati kwaari: Mudzidzisi, hamuna hanya kuti toparara here?
39 And having awaken, he rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, Be quiet! Silence! And the wind ceased, and it became a great calm.
Akamuka akatsiura mhepo, akati kugungwa: Nyarara, gadzikana! Mhepo ikamira, kukava nekudzikama kukuru.
40 And he said to them, Why are ye cowardly this way? How have ye no faith?
Ndokuti kwavari: Munotyirei zvakadaro? Hamuna rutendo sei?
41 And they feared a great fear, and said to each other, Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea also obey him?
Vakatya nekutya kukuru, vakati umwe kune umwe: Zvino ndiani uyu, kuti kunyange mhepo negungwa zvinomuteerera?
