Mako 1
1 Kutanga kwevhangeri raJesu Kristu, Mwanakomana waMwari.
This is the beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
2 Kwakanyorwa muna Isaya muprofita kuchinzi: “Ndichatuma nhume yangu mberi kwako, uyo achagadzira nzira yako,”
As it is written in Isaiah the prophet: “Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You, who will prepare Your way.”
3 “inzwi rounodana murenje, richiti, ‘Gadzirai nzira yaShe, ruramisai migwagwa yake.’”
“A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for Him.’”
4 Uye saizvozvo Johani akauya, achibhabhatidza murenje uye achiparidza rubhabhatidzo rwokutendeuka kuti varegererwe zvivi.
John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
5 Nyika yose yeJudhea navanhu vose veJerusarema vakaenda kwaari. Vachireurura zvivi zvavo, vakabhabhatidzwa naye muRwizi rweJorodhani.
People went out to him from all of Jerusalem and the countryside of Judea. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.
6 Johani aipfeka nguo dzamakushe engamera, nebhanhire reganda muchiuno chake, uye aidya mhashu nouchi hwesango.
John was clothed in camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.
7 Uye iyi ndiyo yakanga iri mharidzo yake: “Shure kwangu kuchauya mumwe ane simba kupfuureni wandisina kufanira kusunungura rukanda rweshangu dzake.
And he began to proclaim: “After me will come One more powerful than I, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.
8 Ndinokubhabhatidzai nemvura, asi iye achakubhabhatidzai noMweya Mutsvene.”
I baptize you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
9 Panguva iyoyo Jesu akauya achibva kuNazareta muGarirea uye akabhabhatidzwa naJohani muJorodhani.
In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
10 Jesu paakanga ava kubuda mumvura, akaona denga richizarurwa uye Mweya achiburukira pamusoro pake senjiva.
As soon as Jesus came up out of the water, He saw the heavens breaking open and the Spirit descending on Him like a dove.
11 Uye inzwi rakauya richibva kudenga richiti, “Ndiwe Mwanakomana wangu, wandinoda, wandinofarira kwazvo.”
And a voice came from heaven: “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”
12 Pakarepo Mweya akamutumira kurenje,
At once the Spirit drove Jesus into the wilderness,
13 uye akanga ari murenje kwamazuva makumi mana, achiedzwa naSatani. Akanga ari pamwe chete nemhuka dzesango uye vatumwa vakamushandira.
and He was there for forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and the angels ministered to Him.
14 Mushure mokunge Johani aiswa mutorongo, Jesu akaenda kuGarirea, achiparidza vhangeri raMwari.
After the arrest of John, Jesus went into Galilee and proclaimed the gospel of God.
15 Akati, “Nguva yasvika. Umambo hwaMwari hwaswedera. Tendeukai mutende vhangeri!”
“The time is fulfilled,” He said, “and the kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe in the gospel!”
16 Jesu paakanga achifamba pamahombekombe eGungwa reGarirea, akaona Simoni nomununʼuna wake Andirea vachikanda usvasvi mugungwa, nokuti vakanga vari vabati vehove.
As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
17 Jesu akati, “Uyai munditevere, uye ndichakuitai vabati vavanhu.”
“Come, follow Me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”
18 Pakarepo vakasiya usvasvi hwavo vakamutevera.
And at once they left their nets and followed Him.
19 Akati afamba chinhambwe zvishoma, akaona Jakobho mwanakomana waZebhedhi nomununʼuna wake Johani vari mugwa, vachigadzira usvasvi hwavo.
Going on a little farther, He saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat, mending their nets.
20 Haana kunonoka, akavadana, uye vakasiya baba vavo, Zebhedhi, mugwa vaine vashandi vavo, vakamutevera.
Immediately Jesus called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed Him.
21 Vakaenda kuKapenaume, uye nomusi weSabata, Jesu akapinda musinagoge akatanga kudzidzisa.
Then Jesus and His companions went to Capernaum, and right away Jesus entered the synagogue on the Sabbath and began to teach.
22 Vanhu vakashamiswa nokudzidzisa kwake, nokuti akavadzidzisa somunhu ane simba, asingaiti savadzidzisi vomurayiro.
The people were astonished at His teaching, because He taught as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.
23 Pakarepo mumwe murume akanga ari musinagoge ravo akanga akabatwa nomweya wakaipa akadanidzira achiti,
Suddenly a man with an unclean spirit cried out in the synagogue:
24 “Munodeiko kwatiri, imi Jesu weNazareta? Mauya kuzotiparadza here? Ndinoziva kuti ndimi ani, imi Mutsvene waMwari!”
“What do You want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”
25 Jesu akarayira akati, “Nyarara! Buda maari!”
But Jesus rebuked the spirit. “Be silent!” He said. “Come out of him!”
26 Mweya wakaipa wakamuzunza-zunza ndokubva wabuda maari nenzwi guru.
At this, the unclean spirit threw the man into convulsions and came out with a loud shriek.
27 Vanhu vose vakashamiswa kwazvo zvokuti vakabvunzana vachiti, “Chiiko ichi? Idzidziso itsva ine simba! Anorayira kunyange mweya yakaipa, uye ichimuteerera.”
All the people were amazed and began to ask one another, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him!”
28 Mukurumbira wake wakapararira munyika yose yeGarirea.
And the news about Jesus spread quickly through the whole region of Galilee.
29 Vakati vachangobva musinagoge, vakaenda naJakobho naJohani kumba kwaSimoni naAndirea.
As soon as Jesus and His companions had left the synagogue, they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew.
30 Ambuya vaSimoni vakanga vavete pamubhedha vachirwara nefivha, uye vakaudza Jesu nezvavo.
Simon’s mother-in-law was sick in bed with a fever, and they promptly told Jesus about her.
31 Saka akaenda kwavari, akabata ruoko rwavo akavabatsira kusimuka. Fivha yakabva mavari vakatanga kuvashandira.
So He went to her, took her by the hand, and helped her up. The fever left her, and she began to serve them.
32 Manheru acho iwayo zuva ravira, vanhu vakauya kuna Jesu navose vairwara navakanga vakabatwa namadhimoni.
That evening, after sunset, people brought to Jesus all who were sick and demon-possessed,
33 Guta rose rakaungana pamukova,
and the whole town gathered at the door.
34 uye Jesu akaporesa vazhinji vakanga vane zvirwere zvakasiyana-siyana. Akadzingawo madhimoni mazhinji, asi akanga asingatenderi madhimoni kuti ataure nokuti akanga achiziva kuti iye ndiani.
And He healed many who were ill with various diseases and drove out many demons. But He would not allow the demons to speak, because they knew who He was.
35 Mangwanani-ngwanani, kuchakasviba, Jesu akamuka akabuda mumba akaenda kunzvimbo yaakanga ari oga, ikoko akandonyengetera.
Early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up and slipped out to a solitary place to pray.
36 Simoni navamwe vake vakaenda kundomutsvaka,
Simon and his companions went to look for Him,
37 uye vakati vamuwana, vakati, “Vanhu vose vanokutsvakai!”
and when they found Him, they said, “Everyone is looking for You!”
38 Jesu akapindura akati, “Ngatiendei kune imwe nzvimbo, kumisha iri pedyo, kuti ndinoparidzawo ikoko. Ndizvo zvandakauyira.”
But Jesus answered, “Let us go on to the neighboring towns so I can preach there as well, for that is why I have come.”
39 Saka akafamba nomuGarirea yose, achiparidza mumasinagoge avo uye achidzinga madhimoni.
So He went throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons.
40 Mumwe murume akanga ana maperembudzi akauya kwaari akapfugama, akamukumbira zvikuru achiti, “Kana muchida, munogona kundinatsa.”
Then a leper came to Jesus, begging on his knees: “If You are willing, You can make me clean.”
41 Jesu akamunzwira ngoni, akatambanudza ruoko rwake akabata murume uya. Akati, “Ndinoda. Chinatswa!”
Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!”
42 Pakarepo maperembudzi akabva paari uye akaporeswa.
And immediately the leprosy left him, and the man was cleansed.
43 Jesu akamuendesa pakarepo akamuyambira zvikuru achiti,
Jesus promptly sent him away with a stern warning:
44 “Chenjera kuti urege kuudza mumwe munhu. Asi enda, undozviratidza kumuprista ugobayira chipiriso chakarayirwa naMozisi chokuporeswa kwako, chive chapupu kwavari.”
“See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering Moses prescribed for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”
45 Asi iye akabuda akatanga kutaura akasununguka, achiparadzira shoko iro. Nokuda kwaizvozvo, Jesu haana kuzogona kupinda muguta zviri pachena asi akagara kunze, kunzvimbo dzakanyarara. Kunyange zvakadaro vanhu vakaramba vachiuya kwaari vachibva kumativi ose.
But the man went out and openly began to proclaim and spread the news. Consequently, Jesus could no longer enter a town in plain view, but He stayed out in solitary places. Yet people came to Him from every quarter.
