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 again he began to teach by the lake. And a large crowd was gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat on the lake, and sat down. And the whole crowd was on the land by the lake.
2 Akavadzidzisa zvinhu zvizhinji nemifananidzo, uye mukudzidzisa kwake akati,
And then he taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,
3 “Teererai! Murimi akabuda kundokusha mbeu yake.
"Listen. Look, the sower who went out to sow.
4 Paakanga achikusha mbeu, dzimwe dzakawira munzira, uye shiri dzakasvika dzikadzidya.
And it happened, as he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured it.
5 Dzimwe dzakawira murukangarabwe, madzisina kuwana ivhu rakawanda. Dzakakurumidza kumera, nokuti ivhu rakanga riri shoma.
And others fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.
6 Asi zuva rakati rabuda, mbeu dzakapiswa nezuva, uye dzikaoma nokuti dzakanga dzisina midzi.
And when the sun came 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 others fell among the 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 others fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing; and brought forth thirty times, and sixty times, and one hundred times."
9 Ipapo Jesu akati, “Ane nzeve dzokunzwa, ngaanzwe.”
And he said, "Whoever has 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, those who were around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.
11 Akati kwavari, “Chakavanzika choumambo hwaMwari chakapiwa kwamuri. Asi kuna avo vari kunze, zvinhu zvose zvinotaurwa nemifananidzo
And he said to them, "To you has been given the mystery of the Kingdom of God, but to those who are outside, all 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 perhaps they should turn and be forgiven.'"
13 Ipapo Jesu akati kwavari, “Hamunzwisisi mufananidzo uyu here? Munganzwisisa seiko mufananidzo upi zvawo?
And he said to them, "Do you not understand this parable? And how will you understand all of the parables?
14 Murimi anokusha shoko.
The farmer sows the word.
15 Vamwe vanhu vakaita setsanga yakawira munzira, munokushwa shoko. Pavanongorinzwa, Satani anouya otora shoko rakushwa mukati mavo.
And these are the ones by the road where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes, and takes away the word which has been sown in them.
16 Vamwe vakaita setsanga yakawira parukangarahwe, vanonzwa shoko uye nokukurumidza vorigamuchira nomufaro.
And these in a similar way are those who are sown on the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy.
17 Asi sezvo vasina midzi, vanongotsungirira kwenguva pfupi. Panongosvika nhamo kana kutambudzwa nokuda kweshoko, vanokurumidza kuwa.
And they have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. Then, when oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.
18 Uye vamwe, setsanga yakawira pakati peminzwa, vanonzwa shoko;
And others are those who are sown among the thorns; these are the ones who have heard the word,
19 asi kufunganya nezvoupenyu huno, kunyengera kwoupfumi uye zvishuvo zvezvimwe zvinhu zvinopinda zvigovhunga shoko, zvichirishayisa zvibereko. (aiōn g165)
and the cares of the age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes 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 those which were sown on the good ground are those who hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, some thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times."
21 Akati kwavari, “Munouya nomwenje kuzouisa pasi pedengu here kana pasi pomubhedha? Handiti munouisa pachigadziko chawo here?
And he said to them, "Is the lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Is it not put on a stand?
22 Nokuti hapana chakavigwa chisingazooneswi, uye hapana chakavanzika chisingazobudi pachena.
For there is nothing hidden, except that it should be made known; neither was anything made secret, but that it should come to light.
23 Munhu ane nzeve dzokunzwa ngaanzwe.”
If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."
24 Akaenderera mberi achiti, “Chenjererai kwazvo zvamunonzwa. Chiyero chamunoshandisa, ndicho chamuchayerwawo nacho kunyange zvakapfuurisa.
And he said to them, "Consider carefully what you hear. With whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you, and more will be given to you.
25 Ani naani anazvo achapiwa zvimwe; ani naani asina, achatorerwa kunyange nezvaanazvo.”
For whoever has, more will be given, and he who does not have, even that which he has will be taken away from him."
26 Akatizve, “Umambo hwaMwari hwakafanana nomunhu anokusha mbeu muvhu.
And he said, "The Kingdom of God is like someone who scatters seed on the earth,
27 Usiku namasikati, kunyange akavata kana akamuka, mbeu inomera igokura, kunyange zvazvo asingazivi kuti zvinoitika sei.
and he sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed springs up and grows; he doesn't know how.
28 Ivhu riri roga rinobereka zviyo, kutanga chipande, kwozoti hura, kwozoitawo tsanga dzakakora muhura.
The earth bears fruit, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
29 Panongoibva zviyo, anozvicheka nejeko, nokuti kukohwa kwasvika.”
But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts forth the sickle, because the harvest has come."
30 Akatizve, “Umambo hwaMwari tingahufananidza neiko kana kuti tingaita mufananidzo upiko kuti tihutsanangure?
And he said, "To what will we liken the Kingdom of God? Or with what parable will we use for it?
31 Hwakafanana netsanga yemasitadhi, inova tsanga duku duku yaunodyara muvhu.
It's like a mustard seed, which, when it is sown upon the soil, though it is less than all the seeds that are upon the soil,
32 Asi kana yadyarwa, inokura igova muti mukuru kupfuura miti yose yomubindu, una matavi makuru zvokuti shiri dzedenga dzinogona kugara mumumvuri wawo.”
And when it is sown, grows up, and becomes greater than all the garden plants, and puts out large branches, so that the birds of the sky can lodge under its shadow."
33 Nemimwe mifananidzo yakadai, Jesu akataura shoko kwavari, zvose sezvavaigona kunzwisisa.
And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
34 Haana kutaura chinhu chimwe kwavari asingashandisi mufananidzo. Asi paainge ari oga navadzidzi vake, aivatsanangurira zvose.
And he did not speak to them without a parable; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.
35 Zuva iroro ava madekwana, akati kuvadzidzi vake, “Ngatiyambukirei kuno rumwe rutivi.”
And on that day, when evening had come, he said to them, "Let us go over to the other side."
36 Vakasiya vanhu vazhinji, vakaenda naye mugwa, sezvaakanga ari. Pakanga pane mamwewo magwa aaiva nawo.
And leaving the crowd, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. And other boats were with him.
37 Dutu rinotyisa rakauya, uye mafungu akarova igwa, zvokuti rakanga rava pedyo nokunyura.
And a big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.
38 Jesu akanga ari mushure megwa, avete pamutsago. Vadzidzi vake vakamumutsa vakati kwaari, “Mudzidzisi, hamuna hanya here kana tikanyura?”
And he himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion, and they woke him up, and told him, "Teacher, do you not care that we are dying?"
39 Akamuka, akarayira mhepo uye akati kumafungu, “Nyarara! Dzikama!” Ipapo mhepo yakapera uye kukadzikama zvikuru.
And he awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said to the lake, "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 to them, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?"
41 Vakatya uye vakabvunzana vachiti, “Ndianiko uyu? Kunyange mhepo namafungu zvinomuteerera!”
And they were greatly afraid, and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the lake obey him?"
