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 sea side. And there is gathered unto him a very great multitude, so that he entered into a boat, and sat in the sea; and all the multitude were by the sea on the land.
2 Akavadzidzisa zvinhu zvizhinji nemifananidzo, uye mukudzidzisa kwake akati,
And he taught them many things in parables, and said unto them in his teaching,
3 “Teererai! Murimi akabuda kundokusha mbeu yake.
Hearken: Behold, the sower went forth to sow:
4 Paakanga achikusha mbeu, dzimwe dzakawira munzira, uye shiri dzakasvika dzikadzidya.
and it came to pass, as he sowed, some [seed] fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured it.
5 Dzimwe dzakawira murukangarabwe, madzisina kuwana ivhu rakawanda. Dzakakurumidza kumera, nokuti ivhu rakanga riri shoma.
And other fell on the rocky [ground], where it had not much earth; and straightway it sprang up, because it had no deepness of earth:
6 Asi zuva rakati rabuda, mbeu dzakapiswa nezuva, uye dzikaoma nokuti dzakanga dzisina midzi.
and when the sun was risen, 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 other 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, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold.
9 Ipapo Jesu akati, “Ane nzeve dzokunzwa, ngaanzwe.”
And he said, Who 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 parables.
11 Akati kwavari, “Chakavanzika choumambo hwaMwari chakapiwa kwamuri. Asi kuna avo vari kunze, zvinhu zvose zvinotaurwa nemifananidzo
And he said unto them, Unto you is given the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, 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 haply they should turn again, and it should be forgiven them.
13 Ipapo Jesu akati kwavari, “Hamunzwisisi mufananidzo uyu here? Munganzwisisa seiko mufananidzo upi zvawo?
And he saith unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how shall ye know all the 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; and when they have heard, straightway cometh Satan, and taketh away the word which hath been sown in them.
16 Vamwe vakaita setsanga yakawira parukangarahwe, vanonzwa shoko uye nokukurumidza vorigamuchira nomufaro.
And these in like manner are they that are sown upon the rocky [places], who, when they have heard the word, straightway 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 endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, straightway they stumble.
18 Uye vamwe, setsanga yakawira pakati peminzwa, vanonzwa shoko;
And others are they that are sown among the thorns; these are they that 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 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 those are they that were sown upon the good ground; such as hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold.
21 Akati kwavari, “Munouya nomwenje kuzouisa pasi pedengu here kana pasi pomubhedha? Handiti munouisa pachigadziko chawo here?
And he said unto them, Is the lamp brought to be put under the bushel, or under the bed, [and] not to be put on the stand?
22 Nokuti hapana chakavigwa chisingazooneswi, uye hapana chakavanzika chisingazobudi pachena.
For there is nothing hid, save that it should be manifested; neither was [anything] made secret, but that it should come to light.
23 Munhu ane nzeve dzokunzwa ngaanzwe.”
If any man hath 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 unto you: and more shall be given unto you.
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 away 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 upon the earth;
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 up and grow, he knoweth not how.
28 Ivhu riri roga rinobereka zviyo, kutanga chipande, kwozoti hura, kwozoitawo tsanga dzakakora muhura.
The earth beareth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, then the full corn in the ear.
29 Panongoibva zviyo, anozvicheka nejeko, nokuti kukohwa kwasvika.”
But when the fruit is ripe, straightway he putteth forth the sickle, because the harvest is come.
30 Akatizve, “Umambo hwaMwari tingahufananidza neiko kana kuti tingaita mufananidzo upiko kuti tihutsanangure?
And he said, How shall we liken the kingdom of God? or in what parable shall we set it forth?
31 Hwakafanana netsanga yemasitadhi, inova tsanga duku duku yaunodyara muvhu.
It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown upon the earth, though it be less than all the seeds that are upon the earth,
32 Asi kana yadyarwa, inokura igova muti mukuru kupfuura miti yose yomubindu, una matavi makuru zvokuti shiri dzedenga dzinogona kugara mumumvuri wawo.”
yet when it is sown, groweth up, and becometh greater than all the herbs, and putteth out great branches; so that the birds of the heaven can lodge under the shadow thereof.
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.
and without a parable spake he not unto them: but privately to his own disciples he expounded all things.
35 Zuva iroro ava madekwana, akati kuvadzidzi vake, “Ngatiyambukirei kuno rumwe rutivi.”
And on that day, when even was come, he saith unto them, Let us go over unto the other side.
36 Vakasiya vanhu vazhinji, vakaenda naye mugwa, sezvaakanga ari. Pakanga pane mamwewo magwa aaiva nawo.
And leaving the multitude, they take 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 there ariseth a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the boat, insomuch that the boat was now filling.
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 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 awoke, 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 fearful? have ye not yet faith?
41 Vakatya uye vakabvunzana vachiti, “Ndianiko uyu? Kunyange mhepo namafungu zvinomuteerera!”
And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
