Mako 6
1 Jesu akabva ipapo akaenda kuguta rokwake, vadzidzi vake vachimutevera.
On leaving that place, Jesus, followed by his disciples, went to his own part of the country.
2 Sabata rakati rasvika, akatanga kudzidzisa musinagoge, uye vazhinji vakamunzwa vakashamiswa. Vakabvunza vachiti, “Murume uyu akawanepi zvinhu izvi? Uchenjeri hupi uhu hwaakapiwa hwokuti anotoita zvishamiso?
When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue; and the people, as they listened, were deeply impressed. “Where did he get this?” they said, “and what is this wisdom that has been given him? And these miracles which he is doing?
3 Ko, haasiye muvezi here? Ko, haasiye mwanakomana waMaria here nomukoma waJakobho, Josefa, Judhasi naSimoni? Ko, hanzvadzi dzake hadzisi pano nesu here?” Uye vakagumburwa naye.
Isn’t he the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? And aren’t his sisters, too, living here among us?” This proved a hindrance to their believing in him;
4 Jesu akati kwavari, “Muprofita haakudzwi muguta romunyika yokwake, pakati pehama dzake, nomumba make chete.”
at which Jesus said, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his home town, and among his own relatives, and in his own home.”
5 Haana kugona kuita zvishamiso zvipi zvazvo imomo, kunze kwokuisa maoko ake pamusoro pavanhu vashoma vairwara uye nokuvaporesa.
And he could not work any miracle there, beyond placing his hands on a few infirm persons, and curing them;
6 Akashamiswa nokusatenda kwavo. Ipapo Jesu akapota nemisha achidzidzisa.
and he wondered at the want of faith shown by the people. Jesus went around the villages, one after another, teaching.
7 Akadana kwaari vane gumi navaviri akavatuma vari vaviri vaviri uye akavapa simba pamusoro pemweya yakaipa.
He called the Twelve to him, and began to send them out as his messengers, two and two, and gave them authority over foul spirits.
8 Akavarayira achiti, “Musatora chinhu parwendo kunze kwetsvimbo; musatora chingwa, kana hombodo, kana mari muzvikwama zvenyu.
He instructed them to take nothing but a staff for the journey – not even bread, or a bag, or coins in their purse;
9 Mupfeke shangu asi kwete nguo yechipiri.
but they were to wear sandals, and not to put on a second coat.
10 Pose pamunopinda mumba, garai imomo kusvikira mabva muguta iroro.
“Whenever you go to stay at a house,” he said, “remain there until you leave that place;
11 Uye kana pane nzvimbo icharamba kukugamuchirai kana kukuteererai, muzunze guruva retsoka dzenyu pamunenge mobva, chive chapupu pamusoro pavo.”
and if a place does not welcome you, or listen to you, as you go out of it shake off the dust that is on the soles of your feet, as a protest against them.”
12 Vakabuda vakaenda kundoparidza kuti vanhu vatendeuke.
So they set out, and proclaimed the need of repentance.
13 Vakadzinga madhimoni mazhinji uye vakazodza mafuta vanhu vazhinji vairwara uye vakavaporesa.
They drove out many demons, and anointed with oil many who were infirm, and cured them.
14 Mambo Herodhi akanzwa nezvazvo, nokuti zita raJesu rakanga rozivikanwa kwazvo. Vamwe vakanga vachiti, “Johani Mubhabhatidzi akamutswa kubva kuvakafa; uye ndokusaka zviratidzo zvesimba zvichiitika.”
Now King Herod heard of Jesus; for his name had become well known. People were saying – “John the Baptizer must have risen from the dead, and that is why these miraculous powers are active in him.”
15 Vamwe vakati, “NdiEria.” Uye vamwezve vakati, “Ndiye muprofita, akaita somumwe wavaprofita vekare.”
Others again said – “He is Elijah,” and others – “He is a prophet, like one of the great prophets.”
16 Asi Herodhi akati anzwa izvozvo, akati, “Johani, murume wandakagura musoro, akamutswa kubva kuvakafa!”
But when Herod heard of him, he said – “The man whom I beheaded – John – he must be risen!”
17 Nokuti Herodhi pachake akanga arayira kuti Johani asungwe, uye akaita kuti asungwe nengetani uye aiswe mutorongo. Akaita izvi nokuda kwaHerodhiasi mukadzi womununʼuna wake Firipi waakanga awana.
For Herod himself had sent and arrested John, and put him in prison, in chains, to please Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, because Herod had married her.
18 Nokuti Johani akanga ati kuna Herodhi, “Hazvitenderwi kuti utore mukadzi womununʼuna wako.”
For John had said to Herod – “You have no right to be living with your brother’s wife.”
19 Saka Herodhiasi akachengeta ruvengo mumwoyo make pamusoro paJohani uye akada kumuuraya. Asi akanga asingakwanisi kuita izvozvo,
So Herodias was incensed against John, and wanted to put him to death, but was unable to do so,
20 nokuti Herodhi aitya Johani uye akamudzivirira, achimuziva somunhu akanga akarurama uye ari mutsvene. Herodhi akati anzwa Johani, akakanganisika zvikuru; asi akanga achifarira kumuteerera.
because Herod stood in fear of John, knowing him to be an upright and holy man, and protected him. He had listened to John, but still remained much perplexed, and yet he found pleasure in listening to him.
21 Pakupedzisira mukana wakazovapo. Pazuva rokuberekwa kwake, Herodhi akaitira vabati vake vakuru, navakuru vamauto uye navarume vaitungamirira muGarirea mabiko.
A suitable opportunity, however, occurred when Herod, on his birthday, gave a dinner to his high officials, and his generals, and the foremost men in Galilee.
22 Mwanasikana waHerodhiasi akati apinda akatamba, akafadza Herodhi navakanga vakokwa kuzodya. Mambo akati kumusikana, “Ndikumbire chipi zvacho chaunoda, uye ndichakupa chinhu ichocho.”
When his daughter – that is, the daughter of Herodias – came in and danced, she delighted Herod and those who were dining with him. “Ask me for whatever you like,” the king said to the girl, “and I will give it to you”;
23 Uye akamuvimbisa nemhiko achiti, “Chose chauchakumbira ndichakupa chinhu ichocho, kusvikira pahafu youmambo hwangu.”
and he swore to her that he would give her whatever she asked him – up to half his kingdom.
24 Akabuda kunze akandoti kuna mai vake, “Ndichakumbireiko?” Ivo vakati, “Musoro waJohani Mubhabhatidzi.”
The girl went out, and said to her mother “What must I ask for?” “The head of John the Baptizer,” answered her mother.
25 Pakarepo musikana akamhanya akapinda kuna mambo nechikumbiro akati, “Ndinoda kuti mundipe iye zvino musoro waJohani Mubhabhatidzi mundiro umu.”
So she went in as quickly as possible to the king, and made her request. “I want you,” she said, “to give me at once, on a dish, the head of John the Baptist.”
26 Mambo akatambudzika zvikuru, asi nokuda kwemhiko yake uye nokuda kwevaakanga achidya navo, haana kuda kumurambira.
The king was much distressed; yet, because of his oath and of the guests at his table, he did not like to refuse her.
27 Saka pakarepo akatuma murwi akarayira kuti vauye nomusoro waJohani. Murume akaenda akandogura musoro waJohani mutorongo,
He immediately dispatched one of his bodyguard, with orders to bring John’s head. The man went and beheaded John in the prison,
28 akadzoka nomusoro wake uri mundiro. Akaupa kumusikana, uye musikana akaupa kuna mai vake.
and, bringing his head on a dish, gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.
29 Vadzidzi vaJohani vakati vanzwa izvi vakauya vakatora mutumbi wake vakauviga mubwiro.
When John’s disciples heard of it, they came and took his body away, and laid it in a tomb.
30 Vapostori vakaungana pana Jesu vakamuudza zvose zvavakanga vaita nezvavakanga vadzidzisa.
When the apostles came back to Jesus, they told him all that they had done and all that they had taught.
31 Zvino nokuda kwokuti vanhu vazhinji vakanga vachingouya nokuenda zvokuti havana kugona kuwana kunyange mukana wokudya, akati kwavari, “Handei tose, imi neni chete, kunzvimbo yakanyarara kuti mumbondozorora.”
“Come by yourselves privately to some lonely spot,” he said, “and rest for a while” – for there were so many people coming and going that they had not time even to eat.
32 Saka vakaenda voga mugwa kunzvimbo yakanyarara.
So they set off privately in their boat for a lonely spot.
33 Asi vazhinji vakavaona vakavaziva uye vakamhanya netsoka vachibva kumaguta ose vakavatangira kusvikako.
Many people saw them going, and recognized them, and from all the towns they flocked together to the place on foot, and got there before them.
34 Jesu akati aburuka uye achiona vanhu vazhinji zhinji, akavanzwira tsitsi, nokuti vakanga vakaita samakwai asina mufudzi. Saka akatanga kuvadzidzisa zvinhu zvizhinji.
On getting out of the boat, Jesus saw a great crowd, and his heart was moved at the sight of them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.
35 Zvino zuva rava kuvira, vadzidzi vake vakauya kwaari, vakati, “Nzvimbo ino irenje, uye kwava kudoka.
When it grew late, his disciples came up to him, and said, “This is a lonely spot, and it is already late.
36 Itai kuti vanhu vaende kumaruwa nemisha yakapoteredza kuti vandozvitengera zvokudya.”
Send the people away, so that they may go to the farms and villages around and buy themselves something to eat.”
37 Asi iye akapindura akati, “Imi vapei zvokudya.” Vakati kwaari, “Izvo zvinotoda muripo womunhu wemwedzi misere! Ko, tingashandisa mari yakawanda kudaro kutenga chingwa kuti tigovapa kuti vadye here?”
But Jesus answered, “It is for you to give them something to eat.” “Are we to go and spend almost a year’s wages on bread,” they asked, “to give them to eat?”
38 Akati, “Mune zvingwa zvinganiko? Endai mundotarisa.” Vakati vazviona, vakati, “Zvishanu, nehove mbiri.”
“How many loaves have you?” he asked, “Go, and see.” When they had found out, they told him, “Five, and two fish.”
39 Ipapo Jesu akavarayira kuti vagarise vanhu vose pasi mumapoka pauswa hunyoro.
Jesus directed them to make all the people take their seats on the green grass, in parties;
40 Saka vakagara pasi mumapoka ane zana uye neane makumi mashanu.
and they sat down in groups – in hundreds, and in fifties.
41 Akatora zvingwa zvishanu nehove mbiri uye akatarisa kudenga, akavonga akamedura chingwa. Ipapo akazvipa kuvadzidzi vake kuti vazvigadzike pamberi pavanhu. Akagoverawo hove mbiri dziya pakati pavo vose.
Taking the five loaves and the two fish, Jesus looked up to heaven, and said the blessing; he broke the loaves into pieces, and gave them to his disciples for them to serve out to the people, and he divided the two fish also among them all.
42 Vose vakadya vakaguta,
Everyone had sufficient to eat;
43 uye vadzidzi vakanonga zvimedu zvezvingwa nehove zvikazara matengu gumi namaviri.
and they picked up enough broken pieces to fill twelve baskets, as well as some of the fish.
44 Varume vakanga vadya vaisvika zviuru zvishanu.
The people who ate the bread were five thousand in number.
45 Pakarepo Jesu akaita kuti vadzidzi vake vakwire mugwa uye kuti vafanotungamira kuBhetisaidha, iye achiri kuendesa vanhu vazhinji.
Immediately afterward Jesus made his disciples get into the boat, and cross over in advance, in the direction of Bethsaida, while he himself was dismissing the crowd.
46 Akati aonekana navo, akakwira mugomo kundonyengetera.
After he had taken leave of the people, he went away up the hill to pray.
47 Ava madekwana, igwa rakanga rava pakati pegungwa, uye iye aiva oga kunyika.
When evening fell, the boat was out in the middle of the sea, and Jesus on the shore alone.
48 Akaona vadzidzi vachitambudzika pakukwasva, nokuti mhepo yaivarova. Nenguva inenge yechina yousiku akaenda kwavari, achifamba pamusoro pegungwa. Akanga oda kuvapfuura,
Seeing them laboring at the oars – for the wind was against them – about three hours after midnight Jesus came towards them, walking on the water, intending to join them.
49 asi pavakamuona achifamba pamusoro pegungwa, vakafunga kuti aiva dzangaradzimu. Vakadanidzira,
But, when they saw him walking on the water, they thought it was a ghost, and cried out;
50 nokuti vose vakamuona vakatya. Pakarepo akataura kwavari akati, “Tsungai mwoyo! Ndini. Musatya.”
for all of them saw him, and were terrified. But Jesus at once spoke to them. “Courage!” he said, “it is I; do not be afraid!”
51 Ipapo akakwira mugwa navo, uye mhepo ikadzikama. Vakakatyamara zvikuru,
Then he got into the boat with them, and the wind dropped. The disciples were utterly amazed,
52 nokuti vakanga vasati vanzwisisa nezvezvingwa, mwoyo yavo yakanga iri mikukutu.
for they had not understood about the loaves, their minds being slow to learn.
53 Vakati vayambuka mhiri, vakasvika paGenesareti vakamisa igwa ipapo.
When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret, and moored the boat.
54 Vakati vachingobuda mugwa, vanhu vakaziva Jesu.
But they had no sooner left her than the people, recognizing Jesus,
55 Vakamhanya nomunyika iyo yose vakatakura vanorwara pamaponde vachienda navo kwavakanga vanzwa kuti ndiko kwaari.
hurried over the whole countryside, and began to carry about on mats those who were ill, wherever they heard he was.
56 Uye pose paakaenda mumisha, mumaguta kana mumaruwa, vakaisa varwere mumisika. Vakamukumbira kuti avabvumire kubata kunyange mupendero wejasi rake, uye vose vakamubata vakaporeswa.
So wherever he went – to villages, or towns, or farms – they would lay their sick in the market-places, begging him to let them touch only the tassel of his cloak; and all who touched were made well.
