Mako 8
1 Mumazuva iwayo vamwe vanhu vazhinji zhinji vakaunganazve. Sezvo vakanga vasina zvokudya, Jesu akadana vadzidzi vake kwaari akati,
In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples, and saith to them,
2 “Ndine urombo kwazvo navanhu ava; atova mazuva matatu vaneni uye havana chokudya.
I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:
3 Kana ndikavaendesa vane nzara kumisha yavo, vachaziya vakawira pasi nenzara munzira, nokuti vamwe vavo vakabva kure.”
And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for some of them came from a distance.
4 Vadzidzi vake vakati, “Asi munhu angawanepiko murenje muno zvingwa zvavangapiwa vakaguta?”
And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these [men] with bread here in the wilderness?
5 Jesu akati kwavari, “Mune zvingwa zvinganiko?” Vakati, “Zvinomwe.”
And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
6 Akaudza vanhu vazhinji ava kuti vagare pasi. Akati atora zvingwa zvinomwe uye akavonga, akazvimedura akazvipa kuvadzidzi vake kuti vaise pamberi pavanhu, uye vakaita saizvozvo.
And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and broke, and gave to his disciples to set before [them]; and they set [them] before the people.
7 Vakanga vane hove duku shoma shoma zvakare; uye akavongazve akaudza vadzidzi kuti vadzigovere kuvanhu.
And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before [them].
8 Vanhu vakadya uye vakaguta. Shure kwaizvozvo vadzidzi vakanonga matengu manomwe azere ezvimedu.
So they ate, and were satisfied: and they took up of the fragments that were left, seven baskets.
9 Pakanga pane varume vangangosvika zviuru zvina. Uye akati avaendesa,
And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he dismissed them.
10 akapinda mugwa navadzidzi vake akaenda kudunhu reDharimanuta.
And forthwith he entered into a boat with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
11 VaFarisi vakasvika ndokutanga kubvunza Jesu. Kuti vamuedze, vakamukumbira chiratidzo chaibva kudenga.
And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, tempting him.
12 Akagomera zvikuru akati, “Seiko rudzi urwu ruchikumbira chiratidzo? Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, hakuna chiratidzo chichapiwa kwarwuri.”
And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek for a sign? Verily I say to you, There shall no sign be given to this generation.
13 Ipapo akavasiya, akadzokera mugwa akayambukira kuno rumwe rutivi.
And he left them, and entering into the boat again, departed to the other side.
14 Vadzidzi vakanga vakanganwa kuuya nechingwa, kunze kwechimwe chete chavakanga vanacho mugwa.
Now [the disciples] had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the boat with them more than one loaf.
15 Jesu akavayambira achiti, “Chenjerai. Ngwarirai mbiriso yavaFarisi neyaHerodhi.”
And he charged them saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and [of] the leaven of Herod.
16 Vakataurirana vachiti, “Imhaka yokuti hatina chingwa.”
And they reasoned among themselves, saying, [It is] because we have no bread.
17 Achiziva zvavaitaurirana, Jesu akavabvunza akati, “Seiko muchitaura pamusoro pokuti hamuna chingwa? Heya, muchigere kuona kana kunzwisisa nhai? Mwoyo yenyu ichiri mikukutu nhai?
And when Jesus knew [it], he saith to them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?
18 Heya, mune meso asi hamuoni, uye mune nzeve asi hamugoni kunzwa nhai? Uye hamurangariri here?
Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?
19 Pandakamedurira zviuru zvishanu zvavanhu zvingwa zvishanu, makazadza matengu mangani ezvimedu zvakasara?” Vakati, “Gumi namaviri.”
When I divided the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say to him, Twelve.
20 “Uye pandakamedurira zviuru zvina zvavanhu zvingwa zvinomwe, makazadza matengu mangani ezvimedu?” Vakapindura vakati, “Manomwe.”
And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.
21 Akati kwavari, “Hamunzwisisi nazvino here?”
And he said to them, How is it that ye do not understand?
22 Vakasvika kuBhetisaidha, uye vamwe vanhu vakauya nomurume akanga ari bofu uye vakakumbira zvikuru kuti Jesu amubate.
And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man to him, and besought him to touch him.
23 Akabata murume akanga ari bofu noruoko akamutungamirira kunze kwomusha. Akati apfira mate pamaziso ake Jesu akaisa maoko ake pamusoro pake, akamubvunza akati, “Pane zvauri kuona here?”
And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw aught.
24 Iye akatarisa kumusoro akati, “Ndinoona vanhu; vanotarisika semiti inofamba-famba.”
And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees walking.
25 Jesu akaisazve maoko ake pameso omurume uyu. Ipapo meso ake akasvinudzwa, akadzorerwa kuona kwake, uye akaona zvinhu zvose zvakanaka.
After that, he put [his] hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.
26 Jesu akamuendesa kumba achiti, “Usapinda mumusha.”
And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell [it] to any in the town.
27 Jesu navadzidzi vake vakapfuurira kumisha yakapoteredza Kesaria Firipi. Vari munzira akavabvunza achiti, “Vanhu vanoti ndini aniko?”
And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Cesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying to them, Who do men say that I am?
28 Vakapindura vakati, “Vamwe vanoti Johani Mubhabhatidzi; vamwe vanoti Eria; vamwezve vanoti mumwe wavaprofita.”
And they answered, John the Baptist: but some [say], Elijah; and others, One of the prophets,
29 Iye akati, “Asi imi munoti kudini? Munoti ndini aniko?” Petro akapindura akati, “Ndimi Kristu.”
And he saith to them, But who say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith to him, Thou art the Christ.
30 Jesu akavayambira kuti vasaudza munhu nezvake.
And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.
31 Akatanga kuvadzidzisa kuti Mwanakomana woMunhu anofanira kutambudzika pazvinhu zvizhinji uye agorambwa navakuru, vaprista vakuru navadzidzisi vomurayiro, uye kuti anofanira kuurayiwa, uye shure kwamazuva matatu agomukazve.
And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
32 Akataura pachena pamusoro pazvo, uye Petro akaenda naye parutivi akatanga kumutsiura.
And he spoke that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.
33 Asi Jesu akati atendeuka akatarira kuvadzidzi vake, akatsiura Petro achiti, “Enda shure kwangu, Satani! Iwe hauna zvinhu zvaMwari mupfungwa dzako, asi zvinhu zvavanhu.”
But when he had turned about, and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savorest not the things that are of God, but the things that are of men.
34 Ipapo akadana vanhu vazhinji kwaari pamwe chete navadzidzi vake akati, “Kana munhu upi zvake achida kunditevera, anofanira kuzviramba, atakure muchinjikwa wake agonditevera.
And when he had called the people [to him] with his disciples also, he said to them, Whoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
35 Nokuti ani naani anoda kuponesa upenyu hwake acharasikirwa nahwo, asi ani naani anorasikirwa noupenyu hwake nokuda kwangu uye nokuda kwevhangeri achahuponesa.
For whoever will save his life, shall lose it; but whoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.
36 Munhu achabatsirweiko kana akawana nyika yose, asi akarasikirwa noupenyu hwake?
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul:
37 Kana kuti munhu angaripeiko kuti adzikinure upenyu hwake?
Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
38 Kana munhu achinyadziswa neni uye namashoko angu murudzi urwu rwoufeve uye runotadza, Mwanakomana woMunhu achanyadziswawo naye paanouya mukubwinya kwaBaba nokwavatumwa vatsvene.”
Whoever therefore shall be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also will the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
