Mako 1
1 Kutanga kwevhangeri raJesu Kristu, Mwanakomana waMwari.
A beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Son of God!
2 Kwakanyorwa muna Isaya muprofita kuchinzi: “Ndichatuma nhume yangu mberi kwako, uyo achagadzira nzira yako,”
As it is written in the prophets —“Take note, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.”
3 “inzwi rounodana murenje, richiti, ‘Gadzirai nzira yaShe, ruramisai migwagwa yake.’”
“A voice calling out: ‘In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord, make His paths straight!’”—
4 Uye saizvozvo Johani akauya, achibhabhatidza murenje uye achiparidza rubhabhatidzo rwokutendeuka kuti varegererwe zvivi.
John started baptizing in the wilderness and proclaiming a baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins.
5 Nyika yose yeJudhea navanhu vose veJerusarema vakaenda kwaari. Vachireurura zvivi zvavo, vakabhabhatidzwa naye muRwizi rweJorodhani.
Well, the whole Judean countryside and the Jerusalemites started going out to him, and were all being baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.
6 Johani aipfeka nguo dzamakushe engamera, nebhanhire reganda muchiuno chake, uye aidya mhashu nouchi hwesango.
Now John was clothed with camel's hair and with a leather belt around his waist; and he was eating 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 was proclaiming: “After me my Superior is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to stoop down and loosen.
8 Ndinokubhabhatidzai nemvura, asi iye achakubhabhatidzai noMweya Mutsvene.”
I indeed baptized you with water, but He will baptize you with Holy Spirit.”
9 Panguva iyoyo Jesu akauya achibva kuNazareta muGarirea uye akabhabhatidzwa naJohani muJorodhani.
Well it happened in those days that Jesus came from Natsareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
10 Jesu paakanga ava kubuda mumvura, akaona denga richizarurwa uye Mweya achiburukira pamusoro pake senjiva.
And immediately upon coming up from the water He saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit, like a dove, descending upon Him.
11 Uye inzwi rakauya richibva kudenga richiti, “Ndiwe Mwanakomana wangu, wandinoda, wandinofarira kwazvo.”
And a Voice came from the heavens: “You are my Son, the beloved, in whom I am well pleased!”
12 Pakarepo Mweya akamutumira kurenje,
Immediately the Spirit impelled Him 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 in the wilderness forty days being tested by Satan, and was with the wild animals; and the angels were ministering to Him.
14 Mushure mokunge Johani aiswa mutorongo, Jesu akaenda kuGarirea, achiparidza vhangeri raMwari.
Now after John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom of God,
15 Akati, “Nguva yasvika. Umambo hwaMwari hwaswedera. Tendeukai mutende vhangeri!”
and saying: “The time has been fulfilled and the Kingdom of God has approached. 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.
Then, as He was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother, of Simon, casting a circular net onto the water, for they were fishermen.
17 Jesu akati, “Uyai munditevere, uye ndichakuitai vabati vavanhu.”
So Jesus said to them: “Come, follow me and I will turn you into fishers of men.”
18 Pakarepo vakasiya usvasvi hwavo vakamutevera.
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.
And going on from there a little ways He saw James, son of Zebedee, and his brother John; they were in their boat mending their nets.
20 Haana kunonoka, akavadana, uye vakasiya baba vavo, Zebhedhi, mugwa vaine vashandi vavo, vakamutevera.
Right away He called them, and leaving their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men they followed Him.
21 Vakaenda kuKapenaume, uye nomusi weSabata, Jesu akapinda musinagoge akatanga kudzidzisa.
Then they went into Capernaum. The very next Sabbath He entered the synagogue and began to teach.
22 Vanhu vakashamiswa nokudzidzisa kwake, nokuti akavadzidzisa somunhu ane simba, asingaiti savadzidzisi vomurayiro.
And they kept on being amazed at His teaching, because He was teaching them as one having authority, and not like the scribes.
23 Pakarepo mumwe murume akanga ari musinagoge ravo akanga akabatwa nomweya wakaipa akadanidzira achiti,
Now there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
24 “Munodeiko kwatiri, imi Jesu weNazareta? Mauya kuzotiparadza here? Ndinoziva kuti ndimi ani, imi Mutsvene waMwari!”
saying: “Hey, what do you want with us, Jesus Natsarene?! Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”
25 Jesu akarayira akati, “Nyarara! Buda maari!”
So Jesus rebuked him saying: “Shut up and get out of him!”
26 Mweya wakaipa wakamuzunza-zunza ndokubva wabuda maari nenzwi guru.
The unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.
27 Vanhu vose vakashamiswa kwazvo zvokuti vakabvunzana vachiti, “Chiiko ichi? Idzidziso itsva ine simba! Anorayira kunyange mweya yakaipa, uye ichimuteerera.”
And all were astounded, so that they questioned among themselves, saying: “What is this? What can this new doctrine be? Because with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him!”
28 Mukurumbira wake wakapararira munyika yose yeGarirea.
So His fame spread directly into the whole surrounding area of Galilee.
29 Vakati vachangobva musinagoge, vakaenda naJakobho naJohani kumba kwaSimoni naAndirea.
Immediately upon exiting the synagogue they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30 Ambuya vaSimoni vakanga vavete pamubhedha vachirwara nefivha, uye vakaudza Jesu nezvavo.
Simon's mother-in-law was lying down with a fever, so without delay they told Him about her.
31 Saka akaenda kwavari, akabata ruoko rwavo akavabatsira kusimuka. Fivha yakabva mavari vakatanga kuvashandira.
So He went and grasping her hand lifted her up; immediately 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, when the sun had set, they started bringing to Him all who were sick and the demonized.
33 Guta rose rakaungana pamukova,
So much so that the whole town was 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 sick with various diseases and cast out many demons; and He did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew He was Messiah.
35 Mangwanani-ngwanani, kuchakasviba, Jesu akamuka akabuda mumba akaenda kunzvimbo yaakanga ari oga, ikoko akandonyengetera.
Now very early, still night, He got up, slipped out, and went off to a solitary place, where He was praying.
36 Simoni navamwe vake vakaenda kundomutsvaka,
Simon and those with him hunted for Him,
37 uye vakati vamuwana, vakati, “Vanhu vose vanokutsvakai!”
and upon finding Him they said to Him, “Everyone is looking for you.”
38 Jesu akapindura akati, “Ngatiendei kune imwe nzvimbo, kumisha iri pedyo, kuti ndinoparidzawo ikoko. Ndizvo zvandakauyira.”
But He said to them: “Let us go to the neighboring towns, so I can preach there also; that is why I have come.”
39 Saka akafamba nomuGarirea yose, achiparidza mumasinagoge avo uye achidzinga madhimoni.
He was constantly preaching in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and also casting out demons.
40 Mumwe murume akanga ana maperembudzi akauya kwaari akapfugama, akamukumbira zvikuru achiti, “Kana muchida, munogona kundinatsa.”
A leper came to Him, imploring Him, kneeling before Him and saying to Him, “If you want to, you are able to cleanse me.”
41 Jesu akamunzwira ngoni, akatambanudza ruoko rwake akabata murume uya. Akati, “Ndinoda. Chinatswa!”
So being moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him: “I want to; be cleansed!”
42 Pakarepo maperembudzi akabva paari uye akaporeswa.
And when He said this, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.
43 Jesu akamuendesa pakarepo akamuyambira zvikuru achiti,
And He sent him away at once, sternly warning him,
44 “Chenjera kuti urege kuudza mumwe munhu. Asi enda, undozviratidza kumuprista ugobayira chipiriso chakarayirwa naMozisi chokuporeswa kwako, chive chapupu kwavari.”
by saying: “See that you say nothing to anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing the things that Moses commanded, 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.
However he went out and began to proclaim it freely, spreading the news, so that He was no longer able to enter a town openly, but remained outside in deserted places; yet they kept coming to Him from all over.
