Matthew 9
1 Jesus got into a boat, crossed over, and came to His own town.
Akabva apinda mugwa, akayambuka ndokusvika muguta rake pachake.
2 Just then some men brought to Him a paralytic lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Take courage, son; your sins are forgiven.”
Zvino tarira, vakauisa kwaari wakafa mitezo, arere pahwanyanza; zvino Jesu achiona rutendo rwavo akati kune wakafa mitezo: Tsunga moyo, mwana, wakanganwirwa zvivi zvako.
3 On seeing this, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man is blaspheming!”
Zvino tarira, vamwe vevanyori vakati mukati mavo: Uyu unonyomba.
4 But Jesus knew what they were thinking and said, “Why do you harbor evil in your hearts?
Asi Jesu achiona mifungo yavo wakati: Imwi munofungirei zvakaipa mumoyo yenyu?
5 Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk?’
Nokuti ndechipi chakareruka, kuti: Wakanganwirwa zvivi; kana kuti: Simuka ufambe?
6 But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...” Then He said to the paralytic, “Get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”
Asi kuti muzive kuti Mwanakomana wemunhu ane simba panyika rekukanganwira zvivi (wakabva ati kune wakange akafa mitezo): Simuka, tora hwanyanza hwako, uende kumba kwako.
7 And the man got up and went home.
Akasimuka, akaenda kumba kwake.
8 When the crowds saw this, they were filled with awe and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.
Zvaunga zvakati zvichizviona zvikashamisika, zvikarumbidza Mwari wakapa simba rakadai kuvanhu.
9 As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him, and Matthew got up and followed Him.
Zvino Jesu wakati achipfuurapo akaona munhu anonzi Matewu agere pahofisi yemutero, akati kwaari: Nditevere! Ndokusimuka, akamutevera.
10 Later, as Jesus was dining at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with Him and His disciples.
Uye zvakaitika agere pakudya mumba, zvino tarira, vateresi vazhinji nevatadzi vakauya vakagara pakudya naJesu nevadzidzi vake.
11 When the Pharisees saw this, they asked His disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
Zvino VaFarisi vakati vachizviona, vakati kuvadzidzi vake: Nemhaka yei Mudzidzisi wenyu achidya nevateresi nevatadzi?
12 On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.
Asi Jesu wakati anzwa, akati kwavari: Vatano havadi murapi asi vanorwara.
13 But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
Asi endai mudzidze kuti zvinorevei kuti: Ndinoda tsitsi uye kwete chibairo; nokuti handina kuuya kuzodana vakarurama, asi vatadzi vauye mukutendeuka.
14 At that time John’s disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why is it that we and the Pharisees fast so often, but Your disciples do not fast?”
Ipapo kwakasvika kwaari vadzidzi vaJohwani, vachiti: Nemhaka yei isu neVaFarisi tichitsanya kazhinji, asi vadzidzi venyu vasingatsanyi?
15 Jesus replied, “How can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while He is with them? But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.
Jesu ndokuti kwavari: Vana veimba yemuchato vanogona kuchema here apo muwani anavo? Asi mazuva achasvika pachabviswa muwani kwavari, ipapo vachatsanya.
16 No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. For the patch will pull away from the garment, and a worse tear will result.
Hakuna anoisa chigamba chemucheka usakaunyana panguvo sharu, nokuti icho chinonamirwa pairi chinobvarura panguvo, buri rikanyanya.
17 Neither do men pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will spill, and the wineskins will be ruined. Instead, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”
Uye havadiri waini itsva muhombodo tsaru; zvikasadaro hombodo dzinoputika, waini ikateuka, nehombodo dzikaparara; asi vanodira waini itsva muhombodo itsva, zvichengeteke zviri zviviri.
18 While Jesus was saying these things, a synagogue leader came and knelt before Him. “My daughter has just died,” he said. “But come and place Your hand on her, and she will live.”
Wakati achitaura zvinhu izvozvi kwavari, tarira, kwakasvika umwe mutungamiriri akamunamata, akati: Mukunda wangu achangofa; asi uyai muise ruoko rwenyu pamusoro pake, uye achararama.
19 So Jesus got up and went with him, along with His disciples.
Jesu ndokusimuka akamutevera, nevadzidzi vake.
20 Suddenly a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak.
Zvino, tarira, mukadzi waiva nekubuda ropa makore gumi nemaviri, wakaswedera shure kwake, akabata mupendero wenguvo yake.
21 She said to herself, “If only I touch His cloak, I will be healed.”
Nokuti wakati mukati make: Kana ndikangobata nguvo yake, ndichaporeswa.
22 Jesus turned and saw her. “Take courage, daughter,” He said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was cured from that very hour.
Asi Jesu wakatendeuka akati amuona, akati: Mukunda, tsunga moyo; rutendo rwako rwakuponesa. Mukadzi ndokuponeswa kubva panguva iyo.
23 When Jesus entered the house of the synagogue leader, He saw the flute players and the noisy crowd.
Jesu ndokusvika mumba memutungamiriri akaona varidzi venyere nechaunga chichiita mhere-mhere,
24 “Go away,” He told them. “The girl is not dead, but asleep.” And they laughed at Him.
akati kwavari: Ibvai; nokuti musikana haana kufa, asi arere. Ndokumuseka vachimusvavaidza.
25 After the crowd had been put outside, Jesus went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up.
Asi chaunga chakati chabudiswa, akapinda, ndokubata ruoko rwake, musikana ndokumuka.
26 And the news about this spread throughout that region.
Mukurumbira uyu ukabudira kunyika iyo yese.
27 As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”
Zvino Jesu wakati opfuurapo, mapofu maviri akamutevera, achidanidzira achiti: Tinzwirei tsitsi, Mwanakomana waDhavhidhi!
28 After Jesus had entered the house, the blind men came to Him. “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” He asked. “Yes, Lord,” they answered.
Zvino wakati apinda mumba, mapofu akauya kwaari; Jesu akati kwaari: Munotenda kuti ndinogona kuita izvozvi here? Akati kwaari: Hongu, Ishe.
29 Then He touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith will it be done to you.”
Ipapo wakabata meso avo achiti: Ngazviitike kwamuri maererano nerutendo rwenyu.
30 And their eyes were opened. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one finds out about this!”
Zvino meso avo akasvinudzwa; Jesu akavarairisa achiti: Onai kuti hakuna anozviziva.
31 But they went out and spread the news about Him throughout the land.
Asi vakati vabuda, vakaparidzira mukurumbira wake munyika iyo yese.
32 As they were leaving, a demon-possessed man who was mute was brought to Jesus.
Zvino vakati vachibuda, tarira, vakauisa kwaari munhu chimumumu waiva akagarwa nedhimoni.
33 And when the demon had been driven out, the man began to speak. The crowds were amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”
Zvino dhimoni rakati rabudiswa, chimumumu chikataura; zvaunga zvikashamisika zvikati: Hakuna kumboonekwa zvakadai muna Israeri.
34 But the Pharisees said, “It is by the prince of demons that He drives out demons.”
Asi VaFarisi vakati: Anobudisa madhimoni nemukuru wemadhimoni.
35 Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness.
Zvino Jesu wakapota nemaguta ese nemisha, achidzidzisa mumasinagoge avo, nekuparidza evhangeri yeushe, nekuporesa denda rese neurwere hwese pakati pevanhu.
36 When He saw the crowds, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
Asi wakati achiona zvaunga, akavanzwira tsitsi, nokuti vakange vaneta, vakapararira semakwai asina mufudzi.
37 Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.
Ipapo akati kuvadzidzi vake: Zvirokwazvo goho iguru, asi vashandi vashoma;
38 Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest.”
naizvozvo kumbirisai kuna Ishe wegoho, kuti atumire vashandi pagoho rake.
