Matthew 9
1 And he entered into a boat, and passed over, and came into his own city.
Jesu akapinda mugwa akayambuka ndokusvika kuguta rokwake.
2 And behold, they brought to him a man sick with the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the sick of the palsy, Son, be of good cheer; thy sins are forgiven thee.
Vamwe varume vakauya nomunhu akanga akafa mitezo, avete pabonde. Jesu akati aona kutenda kwavo akati kumunhu uya akafa mitezo, “Tsunga mwoyo, mwana, zvivi zvako zvaregererwa.”
3 And behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This [man] blasphemeth.
Vachinzwa izvi, vamwe vadzidzisi vemirayiro vakati mumwoyo yavo, “Munhu uyu ari kumhura Mwari!”
4 And Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, Why think ye evil in your hearts?
Achiziva pfungwa dzavo Jesu akati, “Sei muchifunga zvakaipa mumwoyo yenyu?
5 For which is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?
Ndezvipi zvakareruka, kuti, ‘Zvivi zvako waregererwa,’ kana kuti, ‘Simuka ufambe’?
6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick with the palsy, ) Arise, take up thy bed, and go to thy house.
Asi kuti mugoziva kuti Mwanakomana woMunhu ane simba panyika rokuregerera zvivi.” Ipapo akati kumunhu uya akanga akafa mitezo, “Simuka, tora bonde rako uende kumba.”
7 And he arose, and departed to his house.
Uye murume uya akasimuka akaenda kumba kwake.
8 But when the multitude saw [it], they marveled, and glorified God, who had given such power to men.
Vanhu vazhinji pavakazviona, vakazadzwa nokutya uye vakarumbidza Mwari uyo akanga apa simba rakadai kuvanhu.
9 And as Jesus was passing from thence, he saw a man named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith to him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.
Jesu akati achipfuurira mberi achibva ikoko, akaona mumwe murume ainzi Mateo agere pahofisi yomuteresi. Akati kwaari, “Nditevere,” uye Mateo akasimuka akamutevera.
10 And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at table in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.
Jesu akati agere mumba maMateo vachidya kudya kwamanheru, vateresi vazhinji navatadzi vakauya vakadya naye navadzidzi vake.
11 And when the Pharisees saw [it], they said to his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?
VaFarisi vakati vaona izvi, vakabvunza vadzidzi vake vachiti, “Sei mudzidzisi wenyu achidya navateresi navatadzi?”
12 But when Jesus heard [that], he said to them, They that are in health need not a physician, but they that are sick.
Achinzwa izvi, Jesu akati, “Vasingarwari havatsvagi chiremba, asi vanorwara.
13 But go ye and learn what [that] meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Asi endai munodzidza kuti izvi zvinorevei zvinoti, ‘Ndinoda ngoni, kwete chibayiro.’ Nokuti handina kuuya kuzodana vakarurama, asi vatadzi.”
14 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but thy disciples fast not?
Vadzidzi vaJohani vakauya kuzomubvunza vachiti, “Ko, sei isu navaFarisi tichitsanya asi vadzidzi venyu vasingatsanyi.”
15 And Jesus said to them, Can the children of the bride-chamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then they will fast.
Jesu akapindura achiti, “Zvingaitawo here kuti shamwari dzechikomba dzicheme iye achiinavo? Nguva ichasvika iyo chikomba chichabviswa kwavari, ipapo vachatsanya.
16 No man putteth a piece of new cloth to an old garment: for that which is put in to fill it up, taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.
“Hapana munhu anosonera chigamba chitsva panguo tsaru, nokuti chigamba chichabvarura nguo iya, buri racho richizobva ranyanya.
17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.
Uye vanhu havangadiri waini itsva muhombodo tsaru. Kana vakadaro, hombodo dzichaputika, waini ichateuka uye hombodo dzichaparara. Kwete, vanodira waini itsva muhombodo itsva uye zvose zviri zviviri zvinochengetedzeka.”
18 While he was speaking these things to them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshiped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she will live.
Akati achiri kutaura izvi, mumwe mutongi akauya akasvikomupfugamira uye akati, “Mwanasikana wangu afa izvozvi. Asi uyai muzoisa ruoko rwenyu paari agorarama.”
19 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and [so did] his disciples.
Jesu akasimuka akaenda naye pamwe chete navadzidzi vake.
20 (And behold, a woman who was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind [him], and touched the hem of his garment.
Pakarepo mumwewo mudzimai aitambudzwa nechirwere chokubuda ropa kwamakore gumi namaviri akauya shure kwake akasvikobata mupendero wenguo yake.
21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.
Akati nechomumwoyo, “Ndikangobata chete nguo yake, ndichaporeswa.”
22 But Jesus turned himself about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.)
Jesu akatendeuka akamuona ndokubva ati kwaari, “Tsunga mwoyo mwanasikana, kutenda kwako kwakuporesa.” Mudzimai uyu akabva aporeswa pakarepo.
23 And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,
Jesu akati apinda mumba momutongi uya, akawana varidzi venyere navazhinji vaiita mheremhere
24 He said to them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they derided him.
akati, “Budai panze. Mwanasikana uyu haana kufa asi avete.” Asi vakamuseka.
25 But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.
Mushure mokunge vanhu vazhinji ava vabudiswa panze, akapinda akasvikobata mwanasikana uya ruoko achibva amuka.
26 And the fame of this went abroad into all that land.
Nhau dzezvakaitika izvi, dzakapararira nedunhu rose.
27 And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, [Thou] son of David, have mercy on us.
Jesu akati achibvapo, akateverwa navarume vaviri vakanga vari mapofu, vaishevedzera vachiti, “Mwanakomana waDhavhidhi, tinzwireiwo ngoni!”
28 And when he had come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith to them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said to him, Yes, Lord.
Akati apinda mumba, mapofu aya akauya kwaari, uye Jesu akavabvunza achiti, “Munotenda here kuti ndinogona kukuitirai izvi?” Vakapindura vakati, “Hongu, Ishe.”
29 Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith, be it to you.
Ipapo akabata meso avo uye akati, “Maererano nokutenda kwenyu, ngazviitwe kwamuri.”
30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus strictly charged them, saying, See [that] no man know [it].
Uye meso avo akabva asvinudzwa. Jesu akavayambira chaizvo achiti, “Onai kuti hapana achazviziva izvi.”
31 But they, when they had departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.
Asi ivo vakaenda vakataura nezvake mudunhu rose iri.
32 As thy went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a demon.
Vakati vachibuda, mumwe murume akanga ari mbeveve uye akabatwa nedhimoni akauyiswa kuna Jesu.
33 And when the demon was cast out, the dumb spoke: and the multitudes marveled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.
Dhimoni rakati radzingwa, munhu uya akanga ari mbeveve akataura. Vanhu vazhinji vakashamiswa uye vakati, “Zvakadai hazvisati zvamboonekwa muIsraeri.”
34 But the Pharisees said, He casteth out demons, through the prince of the demons.
Asi vaFarisi vakati, “Anodzinga madhimoni nomukuru wamadhimoni.”
35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness, and every disease among the people.
Jesu akafamba nomumaguta ose nemisha yose, achidzidzisa mumasinagoge avo achiparidza nhau dzakanaka dzoumambo uye achiporesa zvirwere zvose nehosha dzose.
36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
Akati achiona vanhu vazhinji, akavanzwira tsitsi nokuti vaishushwa uye vakanga vasina simba, vakaita samakwai asina mufudzi.
37 Then saith he to his disciples, The harvest truly [is] plentiful, but the laborers [are] few.
Ipapo akati kuvadzidzi vake, “Kukohwa kukuru asi vashandi vashoma.
38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth laborers into his harvest.
Naizvozvo kumbirai kuna Ishe wokukohwa kuti atumire vashandi mukukohwa kwake.”
