Ruka 5
1 Rimwe zuva Jesu zvaakanga amire paGungwa reGenesareti, vanhu vakaungana vakamukomberedza vachiteerera kushoko raMwari,
AND it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,
2 uye akaona magwa maviri kumhenderekedzo dzegungwa, akanga asiyiwapo navabati vehove, vakanga vachisuka mambure avo.
And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
3 Akakwira mune rimwe ramagwa acho, rakanga riri raSimoni, akamukumbira kuti ariswededze zvishoma kumahombekombe. Ipapo akagara pasi akadzidzisa vanhu ari mugwa.
And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.
4 Akati apedza kutaura, akati kuna Simoni, “Chiriswededza kwakadzika ugokanda usvasvi ubate hove.”
Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
5 Simoni akapindura akati, “Tenzi, takashanda zvakaoma usiku hwose uye hatina kubata chinhu. Asi sezvamadaro imi, ndichakanda hangu mambure.”
And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.
6 Vakati vaita saizvozvo, vakabata hove zhinji kwazvo uye mambure avo akatanga kubvaruka.
And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.
7 Saka vakaninira vamwe vavo vakanga vari mune rimwe igwa kuti vauye vazovabatsira, ivo vakauya vakazadza magwa ose ari maviri; akazara zvokuti akatanga kunyura.
And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.
8 Simoni Petro akati achiona izvi, akawira pamabvi aJesu akati, “Ibvai kwandiri, Ishe; ndiri mutadzi!”
When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
9 Nokuti iye neshamwari dzake vakashama kwazvo nokuda kwehove dzavakanga vabata,
For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:
10 uye vanaJakobho naJohani, vanakomana vaZebhedhi, vamwe vaSimoni, vakashamawo. Ipapo Jesu akati kuna Simoni, “Usatya; kubva zvino uchava mubati wavanhu.”
And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.
11 Saka vakakwevera magwa avo kumahombekombe, vakasiya zvose uye vakamutevera.
And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him.
12 Jesu paakanga achiri mune rimwe ramaguta, mumwe murume akanga azere namaperembudzi akauya. Akati achiona Jesu, akawira pasi nechiso chake akamukumbira zvikuru achiti, “Ishe, kana muchida, munogona kundinatsa.”
And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
13 Jesu akatambanudza ruoko rwake akabata murume uyu akati, “Ndinoda, chinatswa!” Pakarepo maperembudzi akabva paari.
And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.
14 Ipapo Jesu akamurayira akati, “Usaudza munhu, asi enda undozviratidza kumuprista ugopa zvibayiro zvakarayirwa naMozisi zvokunatswa kwako, chive chapupu kwavari.”
And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
15 Asi mukurumbira wake wakapararira kwazvo, zvokuti vanhu vazhinji zhinji vakauya kuzomunzwa uye kuti vaporeswe zvirwere zvavo.
But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities.
16 Asi, kazhinji Jesu aizvitsaura achienda kusina vanhu kuti andonyengetera.
And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.
17 Rimwe zuva paaidzidzisa, vaFarisi navadzidzisi vomurayiro, vakanga vabva mumisha yose yeGarirea neJudhea uye neJerusarema, vakanga vagerepo. Uye simba raShe rakanga riripo kuti aporese vanorwara.
And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judæa, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them.
18 Vamwe varume vakasvika vakatakura murume akanga akaoma mutezo parukukwe vakaedza kuti vamupinze mumba kuti vandomuradzika pamberi paJesu.
And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him.
19 Vakati vashayiwa nzira yokupinda nayo nokuda kwokuwanda kwavanhu, vakakwira pamusoro pedenga vakamuburutsa ari parukukwe rwake nepamapfiriro, pakati pavanhu, pamberi paJesu chaipo.
And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus.
20 Jesu akati aona kutenda kwavo, akati, “Shamwari, zvivi zvako zvaregererwa.”
And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
21 VaFarisi navadzidzisi vomurayiro vakatanga kufunga vachiti, “Ndianiko munhu uyu anotaura achimhura Mwari. Ndianiko anoregerera zvivi kunze kwaMwari chete?”
And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?
22 Jesu aiziva zvavaifunga uye akabvunza achiti, “Seiko muchifunga zvinhu izvi mumwoyo yenyu?
But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?
23 Ndezvipiko zvakareruka: kuti, ‘Zvivi zvako zvaregererwa,’ kana kuti, ‘Simuka ufambe’?
Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?
24 Asi kuti muzive kuti Mwanakomana woMunhu ane simba panyika rokuregerera zvivi.” Akati kumurume akanga akaoma mutezo, “Ndinoti kwauri, simuka, tora rukukwe rwako uende kumba.”
But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy, ) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.
25 Pakarepo akasimuka pamberi pavo, akatora rukukwe rwaakanga avete parwuri akaenda kumba achirumbidza Mwari.
And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.
26 Munhu wose akashamiswa nazvo akarumbidza Mwari. Vakazadzwa nokutya vakati, “Taona zvinhu zvinoshamisa nhasi.”
And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.
27 Shure kwaizvozvo, Jesu akabuda akaona muteresi ainzi Revhi akagara paimba yake yokuteresa. Jesu akati kwaari, “Nditevere.”
And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me.
28 Revhi akasimuka, akasiya zvinhu zvose akamutevera.
And he left all, rose up, and followed him.
29 Ipapo Revhi akaitira Jesu mabiko makuru pamba pake, uye vateresi vazhinji kwazvo navamwewo vakadya navo.
And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with them.
30 Asi vaFarisi navadzidzisi vomurayiro vakanga vari veboka ravo vakagununʼuna vakati kuvadzidzi vake, “Seiko muchidya navateresi navatadzi?”
But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners?
31 Jesu akavapindura akati, “Vasingarwari havatsvaki chiremba, asi vanorwara.
And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.
32 Handina kuuya kuzodana vakarurama, asi vatadzi kuti vatendeuke.”
I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
33 Ivo vakati kwaari, “Vadzidzi vaJohani vanotsanya kazhinji uye vachinyengetera, uye vadzidzi vavaFarisi vanodarowo, asi venyu vanoramba vachidya nokunwa.”
And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink?
34 Jesu akavapindura akati, “Mungaite here kuti shamwari dzechikomba dzitsanye iye achinavo?
And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?
35 Asi nguva ichauya apo chikomba chichabviswa kwavari; mumazuva iwayo vachatsanya.”
But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
36 Akavaudza mufananidzo uyu akati, “Hakuna munhu anobvarura chigamba kubva panguo itsva achichisonera panguo tsaru. Kana akadaro, anenge abvarura nguo itsva, uye chigamba chinobva panguo itsva hachibatsiri panguo tsaru.
And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old.
37 Uye hakuna anodira waini itsva mumaguchu amatehwe matsaru. Kana akadaro, waini itsva ichatsemura matehwe, waini itsva ichateuka uye maguchu ewaini achaparadzwa.
And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.
38 Kwete, waini itsva inofanira kudirwa mumaguchu amatehwe matsva.
But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved.
39 Uye hakuna munhu anoti ambonwa waini tsaru ozoda waini itsva, nokuti anoti, ‘Tsaru iri nani.’”
No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.
