Mako 4
1 Jesu akatanga kudzidzisazve ari pagungwa. Vanhu vakanga vakaungana vakamukomberedza vari vazhinji zhinji zvokuti akabva apinda mugwa akagara mariri ari mugungwa, asi vanhu vose vari kumahombekombe.
AND he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.
2 Akavadzidzisa zvinhu zvizhinji nemifananidzo, uye mukudzidzisa kwake akati,
And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,
3 “Teererai! Murimi akabuda kundokusha mbeu yake.
Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:
4 Paakanga achikusha mbeu, dzimwe dzakawira munzira, uye shiri dzakasvika dzikadzidya.
And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.
5 Dzimwe dzakawira murukangarabwe, madzisina kuwana ivhu rakawanda. Dzakakurumidza kumera, nokuti ivhu rakanga riri shoma.
And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:
6 Asi zuva rakati rabuda, mbeu dzakapiswa nezuva, uye dzikaoma nokuti dzakanga dzisina midzi.
But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
7 Dzimwe dzakawira pakati peminzwa, minzwa ikakura ikavhunga mbeu, nokudaro hadzina kubereka zvibereko.
And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
8 Uye dzimwe dzakawira pavhu rakanaka. Dzakamera dzikakura uye dzikabereka kakapetwa makumi matatu, makumi matanhatu, kana kunyange zana.”
And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.
9 Ipapo Jesu akati, “Ane nzeve dzokunzwa, ngaanzwe.”
And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
10 Paakanga ava oga, vane gumi navaviri uye navamwe vakanga vakamukomberedza vakamubvunza pamusoro pomufananidzo uyu.
And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.
11 Akati kwavari, “Chakavanzika choumambo hwaMwari chakapiwa kwamuri. Asi kuna avo vari kunze, zvinhu zvose zvinotaurwa nemifananidzo
And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:
12 kuitira kuti, “‘zvimwe vangaramba vachiona, asi varege kuonesesa; uye vachinzwa, asi varege kunzwisisa; kana kuti vangatendeuka uye vakaregererwa!’”
That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
13 Ipapo Jesu akati kwavari, “Hamunzwisisi mufananidzo uyu here? Munganzwisisa seiko mufananidzo upi zvawo?
And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?
14 Murimi anokusha shoko.
The sower soweth the word.
15 Vamwe vanhu vakaita setsanga yakawira munzira, munokushwa shoko. Pavanongorinzwa, Satani anouya otora shoko rakushwa mukati mavo.
And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
16 Vamwe vakaita setsanga yakawira parukangarahwe, vanonzwa shoko uye nokukurumidza vorigamuchira nomufaro.
And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
17 Asi sezvo vasina midzi, vanongotsungirira kwenguva pfupi. Panongosvika nhamo kana kutambudzwa nokuda kweshoko, vanokurumidza kuwa.
And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended.
18 Uye vamwe, setsanga yakawira pakati peminzwa, vanonzwa shoko;
And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,
19 asi kufunganya nezvoupenyu huno, kunyengera kwoupfumi uye zvishuvo zvezvimwe zvinhu zvinopinda zvigovhunga shoko, zvichirishayisa zvibereko. (aiōn g165)
And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
20 Vamwe vakaita setsanga yakawira pavhu rakanaka, vanonzwa shoko, vorigamuchira, uye vobereka zvibereko, kakapetwa makumi matatu, makumi matanhatu kana kunyange zana pane zvinenge zvakushwa.”
And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.
21 Akati kwavari, “Munouya nomwenje kuzouisa pasi pedengu here kana pasi pomubhedha? Handiti munouisa pachigadziko chawo here?
And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?
22 Nokuti hapana chakavigwa chisingazooneswi, uye hapana chakavanzika chisingazobudi pachena.
For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.
23 Munhu ane nzeve dzokunzwa ngaanzwe.”
If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
24 Akaenderera mberi achiti, “Chenjererai kwazvo zvamunonzwa. Chiyero chamunoshandisa, ndicho chamuchayerwawo nacho kunyange zvakapfuurisa.
And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.
25 Ani naani anazvo achapiwa zvimwe; ani naani asina, achatorerwa kunyange nezvaanazvo.”
For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.
26 Akatizve, “Umambo hwaMwari hwakafanana nomunhu anokusha mbeu muvhu.
And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
27 Usiku namasikati, kunyange akavata kana akamuka, mbeu inomera igokura, kunyange zvazvo asingazivi kuti zvinoitika sei.
And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.
28 Ivhu riri roga rinobereka zviyo, kutanga chipande, kwozoti hura, kwozoitawo tsanga dzakakora muhura.
For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
29 Panongoibva zviyo, anozvicheka nejeko, nokuti kukohwa kwasvika.”
But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.
30 Akatizve, “Umambo hwaMwari tingahufananidza neiko kana kuti tingaita mufananidzo upiko kuti tihutsanangure?
And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?
31 Hwakafanana netsanga yemasitadhi, inova tsanga duku duku yaunodyara muvhu.
It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:
32 Asi kana yadyarwa, inokura igova muti mukuru kupfuura miti yose yomubindu, una matavi makuru zvokuti shiri dzedenga dzinogona kugara mumumvuri wawo.”
But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.
33 Nemimwe mifananidzo yakadai, Jesu akataura shoko kwavari, zvose sezvavaigona kunzwisisa.
And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it.
34 Haana kutaura chinhu chimwe kwavari asingashandisi mufananidzo. Asi paainge ari oga navadzidzi vake, aivatsanangurira zvose.
But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.
35 Zuva iroro ava madekwana, akati kuvadzidzi vake, “Ngatiyambukirei kuno rumwe rutivi.”
And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.
36 Vakasiya vanhu vazhinji, vakaenda naye mugwa, sezvaakanga ari. Pakanga pane mamwewo magwa aaiva nawo.
And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.
37 Dutu rinotyisa rakauya, uye mafungu akarova igwa, zvokuti rakanga rava pedyo nokunyura.
And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
38 Jesu akanga ari mushure megwa, avete pamutsago. Vadzidzi vake vakamumutsa vakati kwaari, “Mudzidzisi, hamuna hanya here kana tikanyura?”
And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
39 Akamuka, akarayira mhepo uye akati kumafungu, “Nyarara! Dzikama!” Ipapo mhepo yakapera uye kukadzikama zvikuru.
And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
40 Akati kuvadzidzi vake, “Munotyireiko zvakadai? Hamusati mava nokutenda here?”
And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
41 Vakatya uye vakabvunzana vachiti, “Ndianiko uyu? Kunyange mhepo namafungu zvinomuteerera!”
And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
