Mark 4
1 Once again Jesus began to teach by the sea, and a large crowd was gathered around him. So he got into the boat and sat in it on the sea, while the entire crowd was beside the sea on the shore.
Jesu akatanga kudzidzisazve ari pagungwa. Vanhu vakanga vakaungana vakamukomberedza vari vazhinji zhinji zvokuti akabva apinda mugwa akagara mariri ari mugungwa, asi vanhu vose vari kumahombekombe.
2 Then he taught them many things in parables, and in his teaching he said to them,
Akavadzidzisa zvinhu zvizhinji nemifananidzo, uye mukudzidzisa kwake akati,
3 “Listen! A sower went out to sow.
“Teererai! Murimi akabuda kundokusha mbeu yake.
4 As he sowed, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.
Paakanga achikusha mbeu, dzimwe dzakawira munzira, uye shiri dzakasvika dzikadzidya.
5 Other seed fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil, and it sprang up immediately because it had no depth of soil.
Dzimwe dzakawira murukangarabwe, madzisina kuwana ivhu rakawanda. Dzakakurumidza kumera, nokuti ivhu rakanga riri shoma.
6 But when the sun rose, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
Asi zuva rakati rabuda, mbeu dzakapiswa nezuva, uye dzikaoma nokuti dzakanga dzisina midzi.
7 Other seed fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it produced no fruit.
Dzimwe dzakawira pakati peminzwa, minzwa ikakura ikavhunga mbeu, nokudaro hadzina kubereka zvibereko.
8 But other seed fell into good soil and produced fruit that grew and increased; some bore thirty, some sixty, and some a hundred times more than what was sown.”
Uye dzimwe dzakawira pavhu rakanaka. Dzakamera dzikakura uye dzikabereka kakapetwa makumi matatu, makumi matanhatu, kana kunyange zana.”
9 Then he said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Ipapo Jesu akati, “Ane nzeve dzokunzwa, ngaanzwe.”
10 When he was alone with the twelve and the others who were around him, they asked him about the parable.
Paakanga ava oga, vane gumi navaviri uye navamwe vakanga vakamukomberedza vakamubvunza pamusoro pomufananidzo uyu.
11 So he said to them, “To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God, but to those who are outside everything is spoken in parables,
Akati kwavari, “Chakavanzika choumambo hwaMwari chakapiwa kwamuri. Asi kuna avo vari kunze, zvinhu zvose zvinotaurwa nemifananidzo
12 so that ‘they may see but not perceive, and hear but not understand, lest they should turn back and be forgiven of their sins.’”
kuitira kuti, “‘zvimwe vangaramba vachiona, asi varege kuonesesa; uye vachinzwa, asi varege kunzwisisa; kana kuti vangatendeuka uye vakaregererwa!’”
13 Then he said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the other parables?
Ipapo Jesu akati kwavari, “Hamunzwisisi mufananidzo uyu here? Munganzwisisa seiko mufananidzo upi zvawo?
14 The sower sows the word.
Murimi anokusha shoko.
15 Now some people are like the seed along the path, where the word is sown. When they hear, Satan immediately comes and takes away the word that is sown in their hearts.
Vamwe vanhu vakaita setsanga yakawira munzira, munokushwa shoko. Pavanongorinzwa, Satani anouya otora shoko rakushwa mukati mavo.
16 Likewise, some people are like the seed sown on rocky ground. When they hear the word, they immediately receive it with joy.
Vamwe vakaita setsanga yakawira parukangarahwe, vanonzwa shoko uye nokukurumidza vorigamuchira nomufaro.
17 Yet they have no root in themselves, but are only temporary. When tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, they immediately fall away.
Asi sezvo vasina midzi, vanongotsungirira kwenguva pfupi. Panongosvika nhamo kana kutambudzwa nokuda kweshoko, vanokurumidza kuwa.
18 Others are like the seed sown among the thorns. They hear the word,
Uye vamwe, setsanga yakawira pakati peminzwa, vanonzwa shoko;
19 but the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desire for other things enter in and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
asi kufunganya nezvoupenyu huno, kunyengera kwoupfumi uye zvishuvo zvezvimwe zvinhu zvinopinda zvigovhunga shoko, zvichirishayisa zvibereko. (aiōn g165)
20 But others are like the seed sown on the good soil. They hear the word, receive it, and bear fruit—some thirty, some sixty, and some a hundred times more than what was sown.”
Vamwe vakaita setsanga yakawira pavhu rakanaka, vanonzwa shoko, vorigamuchira, uye vobereka zvibereko, kakapetwa makumi matatu, makumi matanhatu kana kunyange zana pane zvinenge zvakushwa.”
21 He also said to them, “Is a lamp brought in to be put under a basket, or under a bed? Is it not brought in to be set on a lampstand?
Akati kwavari, “Munouya nomwenje kuzouisa pasi pedengu here kana pasi pomubhedha? Handiti munouisa pachigadziko chawo here?
22 For there is nothing hidden that will not be made manifest, nor has anything been made secret except to come to light.
Nokuti hapana chakavigwa chisingazooneswi, uye hapana chakavanzika chisingazobudi pachena.
23 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Munhu ane nzeve dzokunzwa ngaanzwe.”
24 Then he said to them, “Consider what you hear. With the measure you use it will be measured to you, and more will be added to you who hear.
Akaenderera mberi achiti, “Chenjererai kwazvo zvamunonzwa. Chiyero chamunoshandisa, ndicho chamuchayerwawo nacho kunyange zvakapfuurisa.
25 For whoever has will be given more, but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”
Ani naani anazvo achapiwa zvimwe; ani naani asina, achatorerwa kunyange nezvaanazvo.”
26 He also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.
Akatizve, “Umambo hwaMwari hwakafanana nomunhu anokusha mbeu muvhu.
27 He sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows; he does not know how.
Usiku namasikati, kunyange akavata kana akamuka, mbeu inomera igokura, kunyange zvazvo asingazivi kuti zvinoitika sei.
28 For the earth produces a crop by itself: first the stalk, then the head, then the full grain in the head.
Ivhu riri roga rinobereka zviyo, kutanga chipande, kwozoti hura, kwozoitawo tsanga dzakakora muhura.
29 When the crop is ready, the man immediately sends in the sickle, for the harvest has come.”
Panongoibva zviyo, anozvicheka nejeko, nokuti kukohwa kwasvika.”
30 Then Jesus said, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God? Or what parable can we use to describe it?
Akatizve, “Umambo hwaMwari tingahufananidza neiko kana kuti tingaita mufananidzo upiko kuti tihutsanangure?
31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown on the ground, is smaller than all the seeds on earth.
Hwakafanana netsanga yemasitadhi, inova tsanga duku duku yaunodyara muvhu.
32 Yet when it is sown, it grows and becomes larger than all the garden plants and produces large branches, so that the birds of the sky can nest in its shade.”
Asi kana yadyarwa, inokura igova muti mukuru kupfuura miti yose yomubindu, una matavi makuru zvokuti shiri dzedenga dzinogona kugara mumumvuri wawo.”
33 With many similar parables he spoke the word to them, to the extent that they were able to understand it.
Nemimwe mifananidzo yakadai, Jesu akataura shoko kwavari, zvose sezvavaigona kunzwisisa.
34 He did not speak to them without using a parable, but privately he explained everything to his disciples.
Haana kutaura chinhu chimwe kwavari asingashandisi mufananidzo. Asi paainge ari oga navadzidzi vake, aivatsanangurira zvose.
35 On that day, when evening came, Jesus said to his disciples, “Let us cross over to the other side of the sea.”
Zuva iroro ava madekwana, akati kuvadzidzi vake, “Ngatiyambukirei kuno rumwe rutivi.”
36 So they left the crowd and took him with them in the boat, just as he was. Other little boats were also with him.
Vakasiya vanhu vazhinji, vakaenda naye mugwa, sezvaakanga ari. Pakanga pane mamwewo magwa aaiva nawo.
37 Now a great windstorm arose, and the waves were beating against the boat, so that it was nearly swamped.
Dutu rinotyisa rakauya, uye mafungu akarova igwa, zvokuti rakanga rava pedyo nokunyura.
38 But Jesus was in the stern, asleep on a cushion. So they woke him up and said to him, “Teacher, do yoʋ not care that we are perishing?”
Jesu akanga ari mushure megwa, avete pamutsago. Vadzidzi vake vakamumutsa vakati kwaari, “Mudzidzisi, hamuna hanya here kana tikanyura?”
39 Then he woke up and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” So the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
Akamuka, akarayira mhepo uye akati kumafungu, “Nyarara! Dzikama!” Ipapo mhepo yakapera uye kukadzikama zvikuru.
40 Then he said to them, “Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have no faith?”
Akati kuvadzidzi vake, “Munotyireiko zvakadai? Hamusati mava nokutenda here?”
41 And they were filled with great fear and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
Vakatya uye vakabvunzana vachiti, “Ndianiko uyu? Kunyange mhepo namafungu zvinomuteerera!”
