Mark 4
1 Again he began to teach beside the sea, and a large crowd gathered around him. He stepped into a boat that was on the sea, and he sat down in it. The whole crowd was on the shore beside the sea.
Zvino wakatangazve kudzidzisa parutivi rwegungwa; kukaungana kwaari chaunga chikuru zvekuti wakapinda muchikepe akagara mugungwa; uye chaunga chese chakange chiri pagungwa panyika.
2 He taught them many things in parables, and in his teaching, this is what he said to them.
Akavadzidzisa zvinhu zvizhinji nemifananidzo, akati kwavari padzidziso yake:
3 “Listen, the farmer went out to sow his seed.
Inzwai; tarirai, mukushi wakabuda kunokusha.
4 As he sowed, some seed fell on the road, and the birds came and devoured it.
Zvino zvakaitika pakukusha, imwe yakawira parutivi rwenzira; shiri dzekudenga dzikauya dzikaidya dzikaipedza.
5 Other seed fell on the rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. Immediately it sprang up, because it did not have deep soil.
Asi imwe yakawira panzvimbo dzine mabwe, payakange isina ivhu zhinji; pakarepo ikamera, nokuti yakange isina udziku hwevhu;
6 But when the sun rose, the plants were scorched, and because they had no root, they dried up.
asi zuva rakati rabuda, yakapiswa, uye nokuti yakange isina mudzi, yakasvava.
7 Other seed fell among the thorn plants. The thorn plants grew up and choked it, and it did not produce a crop.
Uye imwe yakawira paminzwa, minzwa ikakura ikaivhunga, ikasabereka chibereko.
8 Other seed fell into good soil and it produced a crop growing up and increasing thirty, sixty, and even a hundred times.”
Uye imwe yakawira muvhu rakanaka; ikabereka chibereko chakakura ikawedzera, ikabereka, imwe makumi matatu, neimwe makumi matanhatu, neimwe zana.
9 Then he said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear!”
Ndokuti kwavari: Ane nzeve dzekunzwa, ngaanzwe.
10 When Jesus was alone, those who were close to him and with the twelve asked him about the parables.
Zvino wakati ava ega, vakange vakamukomba nevanegumi nevaviri vakamubvunza zvemufananidzo.
11 He said to them, “To you is given the mystery of the kingdom of God. But to those outside everything is in parables,
Uye akati kwavari: Kwamuri kwakapiwa kuziva chakavanzika cheushe hwaMwari; asi kune avo vari kunze, zvese zvinoitwa nemifananidzo;
12 so that when they look, yes they look, but do not see, and so that when they hear, yes they hear, but do not understand, or else they would turn and God would forgive them.”
kuti vachiona vaone asi varege kuonesesa, vachinzwa vanzwe asi vasinganzwisisi, zvimwe chero nguva varege kutendeuka, vakanganwirwe zvivi.
13 Then he said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the other parables?
Zvino akati kwavari: Hamuzivi mufananidzo uyu here? Zvino muchaziva sei mifananidzo yese?
14 The farmer who sows his seed is the one who sows the word.
Mukushi unokusha shoko.
15 These are the ones that fall beside the road, where the word was sown, but when they hear it, Satan immediately comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.
Zvino ava ndivo veparutivi rwenzira, apo panokushwa shoko, uye kana vachirinzwa, pakarepo Satani anouya ndokubvisa shoko rakakushwa mumoyo yavo.
16 These are the ones that are sown on rocky ground, who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy.
Uye saizvozvo ava ndivo vakakushwa panzvimbo dzine mabwe, ivo kana vanzwa shoko, pakarepo vanorigamuchira nemufaro,
17 They have no root in themselves, but endure for a short time. Then tribulation or persecution comes because of the word, and immediately they stumble.
asi havana mudzi mavari, asi ndevenguva; pashure kana matambudziko kana kushushwa zvichiuya nekuda kweshoko, pakarepo vanogumburwa.
18 The others are the ones that were sown among the thorns. They hear the word,
Zvino ava ndivo vanokushwa muminzwa, vanonzwa shoko,
19 but the cares of the world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires of other things enter in and choke the word, and it does not produce a crop. (aiōn g165)
asi kufunganya kwenyika ino nekunyengera kwefuma neruchiva pamusoro pezvimwe zvinhu zvichipinda, zvichivhunga shoko, rova risingabereki. (aiōn g165)
20 Then those that were sown in the good soil are the ones who hear the word and receive it, and they produce crops—thirty, sixty, or a hundred times what was sown.”
Naava ndivo vakakushwa muvhu rakanaka, ndivo vanonzwa shoko, ndokugamuchira, vagobereka chibereko, umwe makumi matatu, uye umwe makumi matanhatu, uye umwe zana.
21 Jesus said to them, “Do you bring a lamp inside the house to put it under a basket, or under the bed? You bring it in and you put it on a lampstand.
Zvino wakati kwavari: Mwenje unouiswa kuti uiswe pasi pedengu kana pasi pemubhedha here? Kwete kuti uiswe pachigadziko chemwenje here?
22 For nothing is hidden that will not be known, and nothing is secret that will not come out into the open.
Nokuti hapana chakavigwa chisingazovhundunurwi, kana chakachengetwa chakavanda, asi kuti zvibude pachena.
23 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!”
Kana munhu ane nzeve dzekunzwa, ngaanzwe.
24 He said to them, “Pay attention to what you hear, for the measure you use will be measured to you, and more will be added to you.
Zvino wakati kwavari: Chenjererai zvamunonzwa; nechiyero chamunoyera nacho chichayerwa kwamuri, nekwamuri imwi munonzwa, chichawedzerwa.
25 Because whoever has, to him will be given more, and whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken.”
Nokuti ani nani anacho achapiwa; asi asina achatorerwa kunyange nechaanacho.
26 He also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who sows his seed on the ground.
Zvino akati: Hwakadaro ushe hwaMwari, sezvinonzi munhu anokusha mbeu muvhu.
27 He sleeps at night and gets up by day, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how.
Zvino orara nekumuka usiku nemasikati, mbeu inomera ichikura iye asingazivi kuti sei.
28 The earth bears grain by itself: First the blade, then the ear, then the mature grain in the ear.
Nokuti ivhu rinozviberekera chibereko pacharo, pakutanga chipande, pashure hura, pashure zviyo zvakakora pahura.
29 When the crop is ripe, he immediately sends in the sickle because the harvest has come.”
Asi kana chibereko chaibva, pakarepo anotuma jeko nokuti kukohwa kwasvika.
30 Again he said, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable can we use to explain it?
Zvino wakati: Tichafananidza nei ushe hwaMwari? Kana tingahuenzanisa nemuenzaniso upi?
31 It is like a mustard seed which, when it is sown, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth.
Setsanga yemasitadha, iyo kana ichidzvarwa muvhu, idikisa kumbeu dzese dzepanyika;
32 Yet, when it is sown, it grows and becomes greater than all the garden plants, and it forms large branches, so that the birds of heaven can make their nests in its shade.”
asi kana yadzvarwa, inokura ichiva huru kumiriwo yese, ichiita matavi makuru zvekuti shiri dzekudenga dzinogona kuvakira pasi pemumvuri wawo.
33 With many parables like this he spoke the word to them, as much as they were able to understand,
Zvino nemifananidzo mizhinji yakadaro wakataura shoko kwavari, sepavaigona kunzwa napo.
34 and he did not speak to them without a parable. But when he was alone, he explained everything to his own disciples.
Asi kunze kwemufananidzo haana kutaura kwavari; asi vava vega, wakadudzira vadzidzi vake zvese.
35 On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let us go over to the other side.”
Zvino nezuva iro ava madekwani, wakati kwavari: Ngatiyambukire mhiri.
36 So they left the crowd, taking Jesus with them, just as he was, in the boat. There were other boats going along with him.
Vakarega chaunga chichienda, vakaenda naye akangodaro muchikepe. Zvino kwaivawo nemamwe magwa naye.
37 Just then a violent windstorm arose and the waves were breaking into the boat so that the boat was almost full of water.
Zvino kwakamuka dutu guru remhepo, mafungu akazvirovera muchikepe, zvekuti chakange zvino chozadzwa.
38 But Jesus himself was in the stern, asleep on a cushion. They woke him up, saying, “Teacher, do you not care that we are about to die?”
Asi iye wakange ari shure muchikepe arere pamutsago; vakamumutsa, vakati kwaari: Mudzidzisi, hamuna hanya kuti toparara here?
39 He got up, rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” Then the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
Akamuka akatsiura mhepo, akati kugungwa: Nyarara, gadzikana! Mhepo ikamira, kukava nekudzikama kukuru.
40 Then he said to them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still not have faith?”
Ndokuti kwavari: Munotyirei zvakadaro? Hamuna rutendo sei?
41 They were filled with great fear and said to one another, “Who then is this, because even the wind and the sea obey him?”
Vakatya nekutya kukuru, vakati umwe kune umwe: Zvino ndiani uyu, kuti kunyange mhepo negungwa zvinomuteerera?
