< Mako 2 >
1 Shure kwamazuva mashoma shoma, Jesu akati apindazve muKapenaume, vanhu vakanzwa kuti akanga auya kumusha.
When he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was heard that he was at home.
2 Saka vazhinji vakaungana zvokuti mumba makasara musisina nzvimbo kunyange kunze kwomukova, uye akaparidza shoko kwavari.
Immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even around the door; and he spoke the word to them.
3 Vamwe varume vakasvika, vakauya kwaari nomunhu akanga akafa mutezo, akatakurwa navarume vana.
Four people came, carrying a paralytic to him.
4 Sezvo vakanga vasingagoni kusvika naye kuna Jesu nokuda kwokuwanda kwavanhu, vakazarura denga reimba pamusoro paJesu uye, vakati variputsa, vakaburutsa nhoo pakanga pavete uya munhu akanga akafa mutezo.
When they could not come near to him for the crowd, they removed the roof where he was. When they had broken it up, they let down the mat that the paralytic was lying on.
5 Jesu akati aona kutenda kwavo, akati kuno uya akanga akafa mutezo, “Mwanakomana, zvivi zvako zvaregererwa.”
Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.”
6 Zvino vamwe vadzidzisi vomurayiro, vakanga vagere ipapo, vakafunga mumwoyo yavo vachiti,
But there were some of the scribes sitting there and reasoning in their hearts,
7 “Munhu uyu anotaura sei achidaro? Ari kumhura Mwari! Ndianiko anoregerera zvivi asi Mwari oga?”
“Why does this man speak blasphemies like that? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
8 Pakarepo Jesu akazviziva mumweya wake kuti ndizvo zvavakanga vachifunga mumwoyo yavo, uye akati kwavari, “Seiko muchifunga zvinhu izvi?
Immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them, “Why do you reason these things in your hearts?
9 Ndezvipiko zvakareruka: Kuti kuno wakafa mutezo, ‘Zvivi zvako zvaregererwa,’ kana kuti, ‘Simuka, tora nhoo yako ufambe’?
Which is easier, to tell the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven;’ or to say, ‘Arise, and take up your bed, and walk’?
10 Asi kuti muzive kuti Mwanakomana woMunhu ane simba panyika rokuregerera zvivi.” Akati kuna akanga akafa mutezo,
But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the paralytic—
11 “Ndinoti kwauri, simuka, tora nhoo yako uende kumba.”
“I tell you, arise, take up your mat, and go to your house.”
12 Akasimuka kubva panhoo yake, akatora nhoo yake akafamba akabuda vose vachizviona. Izvi zvakashamisa munhu wose uye vakarumbidza Mwari vachiti, “Hatina kumboona chinhu chakadai!”
He arose, and immediately took up the mat and went out in front of them all, so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”
13 Ipapo Jesu akabudazve akaenda kugungwa. Vanhu vazhinji zhinji vakauya kwaari uye akatanga kuvadzidzisa.
He went out again by the seaside. All the multitude came to him, and he taught them.
14 Paaifamba achitevedza gungwa, akaona Revhi mwanakomana waArifeasi agere paitererwa mutero. Jesu akati kwaari, “Nditevere,” ipapo Revhi akasimuka akamutevera.
As he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office. He said to him, “Follow me.” And he arose and followed him.
15 Jesu paakanga achidya kudya kwamanheru pamba paRevhi, vateresi vazhinji na“vatadzi” vakanga vachidya naye, navadzidzi vake, nokuti kwaiva navazhinji vaimutevera.
He was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners sat down with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many, and they followed him.
16 Vadzidzisi vomurayiro, ivo vaFarisi, vakati vachimuona achidya na“vatadzi” navateresi, vakabvunza vadzidzi vake vakati, “Seiko achidya navateresi na‘vatadzi’?”
The scribes and the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with the sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, “Why is it that he eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?”
17 Anzwa izvozvo, Jesu akati kwavari, “Vasingarwari havatsvaki chiremba, asi vanorwara. Handina kuuya kuzodana vakarurama, asi vatadzi.”
When Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
18 Zvino vadzidzi vaJohani navaFarisi vakanga vachitsanya. Vamwe vanhu vakauya vakabvunza Jesu vakati, “Sei vadzidzi vaJohani navadzidzi vavaFarisi vachitsanya, asi venyu vasingatsanyi?”
John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting, and they came and asked him, “Why do John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?”
19 Jesu akapindura akati, “Shamwari dzechikomba dzingatsanya seiko kana iye achinavo? Havangadaro, kana iye achinavo.
Jesus said to them, “Can the groomsmen fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
20 Asi nguva ichasvika ichabviswa chikomba kwavari, uye pazuva iroro vachatsanya.
But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day.
21 “Hakuna munhu anoisa chigamba chitsva panguo tsaru. Kana akadaro, chigamba chitsva chichabvarura chitsaru, zvoita kuti buri racho rinyanye kukura.
No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, or else the patch shrinks and the new tears away from the old, and a worse hole is made.
22 Uye hakuna munhu anodira waini itsva muhombodo dzamatehwe tsaru. Kana akaita izvozvo, waini ichaputitsa matehwe, uye zvose waini nedehwe rewaini zvichaparara. Kwete, anodira waini itsva muhombodo itsva.”
No one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the skins, and the wine pours out, and the skins will be destroyed; but they put new wine into fresh wineskins.”
23 Mumwe musi weSabata, Jesu akanga achipfuura nomuminda yezviyo, uye vadzidzi vake vakanga vachifamba naye, vakatanga kutanha hura dzezviyo.
He was going on the Sabbath day through the grain fields; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of grain.
24 VaFarisi vakati kwaari, “Tarirai, seiko vachiita zvisingatenderwi nomusi weSabata.”
The Pharisees said to him, “Behold, why do they do that which is not lawful on the Sabbath day?”
25 Akapindura akati, “Hamuna kumboverenga here zvakaitwa naDhavhidhi navamwe vake pavakanga vashayiwa zvokudya uye vonzwa nzara?
He said to them, “Did you never read what David did when he had need and was hungry—he, and those who were with him?
26 Mumazuva aAbhiatari muprista mukuru, akapinda mumba maMwari akadya chingwa chakatsaurwa, chinongotenderwa kudyiwa navaprista chete. Uye akapawo vamwe vaaiva navo.”
How he entered into God’s house at the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the show bread, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests, and gave also to those who were with him?”
27 Ipapo akati kwavari, “Sabata rakaitirwa munhu, munhu haana kuitirwa Sabata.
He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.
28 Saka Mwanakomana woMunhu ndiye Ishe kunyange weSabata.”
Therefore the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.”
