< Mark 8 >

1 In those days, there was again a great crowd, and they had nothing to eat. Jesus called his disciples and said to them,
Mumazuva iwayo vamwe vanhu vazhinji zhinji vakaunganazve. Sezvo vakanga vasina zvokudya, Jesu akadana vadzidzi vake kwaari akati,
2 “I have compassion on the crowd, because they continue to be with me already for three days and have nothing to eat.
“Ndine urombo kwazvo navanhu ava; atova mazuva matatu vaneni uye havana chokudya.
3 If I send them away to their home without eating, they may faint on the way. Some of them have come a long way.”
Kana ndikavaendesa vane nzara kumisha yavo, vachaziya vakawira pasi nenzara munzira, nokuti vamwe vavo vakabva kure.”
4 His disciples answered him, “Where can we get enough loaves of bread in such a deserted place to satisfy these people?”
Vadzidzi vake vakati, “Asi munhu angawanepiko murenje muno zvingwa zvavangapiwa vakaguta?”
5 He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven.”
Jesu akati kwavari, “Mune zvingwa zvinganiko?” Vakati, “Zvinomwe.”
6 He commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground. He took the seven loaves, gave thanks, and broke them. He gave them to his disciples to set before them, and they set them before the crowd.
Akaudza vanhu vazhinji ava kuti vagare pasi. Akati atora zvingwa zvinomwe uye akavonga, akazvimedura akazvipa kuvadzidzi vake kuti vaise pamberi pavanhu, uye vakaita saizvozvo.
7 They also had a few small fish, and after he gave thanks for them, he commanded the disciples to serve these as well.
Vakanga vane hove duku shoma shoma zvakare; uye akavongazve akaudza vadzidzi kuti vadzigovere kuvanhu.
8 They ate and were satisfied, and they picked up the remaining broken pieces, seven large baskets.
Vanhu vakadya uye vakaguta. Shure kwaizvozvo vadzidzi vakanonga matengu manomwe azere ezvimedu.
9 There were about four thousand people. Then he sent them away.
Pakanga pane varume vangangosvika zviuru zvina. Uye akati avaendesa,
10 Immediately he got into the boat with his disciples, and they went into the region of Dalmanutha.
akapinda mugwa navadzidzi vake akaenda kudunhu reDharimanuta.
11 Then the Pharisees came out and began to argue with him. They sought from him a sign from heaven, to test him.
VaFarisi vakasvika ndokutanga kubvunza Jesu. Kuti vamuedze, vakamukumbira chiratidzo chaibva kudenga.
12 He sighed deeply in his spirit and said, “Why does this generation seek for a sign? Truly I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation.”
Akagomera zvikuru akati, “Seiko rudzi urwu ruchikumbira chiratidzo? Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, hakuna chiratidzo chichapiwa kwarwuri.”
13 Then he left them, got into a boat again, and went away to the other side.
Ipapo akavasiya, akadzokera mugwa akayambukira kuno rumwe rutivi.
14 Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread with them. They had no more than one loaf of bread in the boat.
Vadzidzi vakanga vakanganwa kuuya nechingwa, kunze kwechimwe chete chavakanga vanacho mugwa.
15 He warned them and said, “Keep watch and be on guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.”
Jesu akavayambira achiti, “Chenjerai. Ngwarirai mbiriso yavaFarisi neyaHerodhi.”
16 The disciples reasoned with each other, “It is because we have no bread.”
Vakataurirana vachiti, “Imhaka yokuti hatina chingwa.”
17 Jesus was aware of this, and he said to them, “Why are you reasoning about not having bread? Do you not yet perceive? Do you not understand? Have your hearts become so dull?
Achiziva zvavaitaurirana, Jesu akavabvunza akati, “Seiko muchitaura pamusoro pokuti hamuna chingwa? Heya, muchigere kuona kana kunzwisisa nhai? Mwoyo yenyu ichiri mikukutu nhai?
18 You have eyes, do you not see? You have ears, do you not hear? Do you not remember?
Heya, mune meso asi hamuoni, uye mune nzeve asi hamugoni kunzwa nhai? Uye hamurangariri here?
19 When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces of bread did you take up?” They said to him, “Twelve.”
Pandakamedurira zviuru zvishanu zvavanhu zvingwa zvishanu, makazadza matengu mangani ezvimedu zvakasara?” Vakati, “Gumi namaviri.”
20 “When I broke the seven loaves among the four thousand, how many basketfuls did you take up?” They said to him, “Seven.”
“Uye pandakamedurira zviuru zvina zvavanhu zvingwa zvinomwe, makazadza matengu mangani ezvimedu?” Vakapindura vakati, “Manomwe.”
21 He said, “Do you not yet understand?”
Akati kwavari, “Hamunzwisisi nazvino here?”
22 They came to Bethsaida. The people there brought to him a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him.
Vakasvika kuBhetisaidha, uye vamwe vanhu vakauya nomurume akanga ari bofu uye vakakumbira zvikuru kuti Jesu amubate.
23 Jesus took hold of the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the village. When he had spit on his eyes and laid his hands on him, he asked him, “Do you see anything?”
Akabata murume akanga ari bofu noruoko akamutungamirira kunze kwomusha. Akati apfira mate pamaziso ake Jesu akaisa maoko ake pamusoro pake, akamubvunza akati, “Pane zvauri kuona here?”
24 He looked up, and said, “I see men who look like walking trees.”
Iye akatarisa kumusoro akati, “Ndinoona vanhu; vanotarisika semiti inofamba-famba.”
25 Then he again laid his hands upon his eyes, and the man opened his eyes, his sight was restored, and he saw all things clearly.
Jesu akaisazve maoko ake pameso omurume uyu. Ipapo meso ake akasvinudzwa, akadzorerwa kuona kwake, uye akaona zvinhu zvose zvakanaka.
26 Jesus sent him away to his home and said, “Do not enter the town.”
Jesu akamuendesa kumba achiti, “Usapinda mumusha.”
27 Jesus went out with his disciples into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his disciples, “Who do the people say that I am?”
Jesu navadzidzi vake vakapfuurira kumisha yakapoteredza Kesaria Firipi. Vari munzira akavabvunza achiti, “Vanhu vanoti ndini aniko?”
28 They answered him and said, “John the Baptist. Others say, 'Elijah,' and others, 'One of the prophets.'”
Vakapindura vakati, “Vamwe vanoti Johani Mubhabhatidzi; vamwe vanoti Eria; vamwezve vanoti mumwe wavaprofita.”
29 He asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter said to him, “You are the Christ.”
Iye akati, “Asi imi munoti kudini? Munoti ndini aniko?” Petro akapindura akati, “Ndimi Kristu.”
30 Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about him.
Jesu akavayambira kuti vasaudza munhu nezvake.
31 He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and would be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and would be killed, and after three days rise up.
Akatanga kuvadzidzisa kuti Mwanakomana woMunhu anofanira kutambudzika pazvinhu zvizhinji uye agorambwa navakuru, vaprista vakuru navadzidzisi vomurayiro, uye kuti anofanira kuurayiwa, uye shure kwamazuva matatu agomukazve.
32 He said this clearly. Then Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.
Akataura pachena pamusoro pazvo, uye Petro akaenda naye parutivi akatanga kumutsiura.
33 But Jesus turned and looked at his disciples and then he rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan! You are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of people.”
Asi Jesu akati atendeuka akatarira kuvadzidzi vake, akatsiura Petro achiti, “Enda shure kwangu, Satani! Iwe hauna zvinhu zvaMwari mupfungwa dzako, asi zvinhu zvavanhu.”
34 Then he called the crowd and his disciples together, and he said to them, “If anyone wants to follow me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.
Ipapo akadana vanhu vazhinji kwaari pamwe chete navadzidzi vake akati, “Kana munhu upi zvake achida kunditevera, anofanira kuzviramba, atakure muchinjikwa wake agonditevera.
35 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake and for the gospel, will save it.
Nokuti ani naani anoda kuponesa upenyu hwake acharasikirwa nahwo, asi ani naani anorasikirwa noupenyu hwake nokuda kwangu uye nokuda kwevhangeri achahuponesa.
36 What does it profit a person to gain the whole world and then forfeit his life?
Munhu achabatsirweiko kana akawana nyika yose, asi akarasikirwa noupenyu hwake?
37 What can a person give in exchange for his life?
Kana kuti munhu angaripeiko kuti adzikinure upenyu hwake?
38 Whoever is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”
Kana munhu achinyadziswa neni uye namashoko angu murudzi urwu rwoufeve uye runotadza, Mwanakomana woMunhu achanyadziswawo naye paanouya mukubwinya kwaBaba nokwavatumwa vatsvene.”
