Mako 9
1 Uye akati kwavari, “Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, kuti vamwe vamire pano havazoraviri rufu vasati vaona umambo hwaMwari huchisvika nesimba.”
He went on to say, "In solemn truth I tell you that some of those who are standing here will certainly not taste death till they have seen the Kingdom of God already come in power."
2 Shure kwamazuva matanhatu, Jesu akatora Petro, Jakobho naJohani akavatungamirira kugomo refu, kwavakanga vari voga. Akashanduka ikoko pamberi pavo.
Six days later, Jesus took with Him Peter, James, and John, and brought them alone, apart from the rest, up a high mountain; and in their presence His appearance underwent a change.
3 Nguo dzake dzakapenya, dzikachena kupfuura zvingacheneswa nomunhu upi zvake munyika muno.
His garments also became dazzling with brilliant whiteness--such whiteness as no bleaching on earth could give.
4 Uye ipapo pakaonekwa pamberi pavo Eria naMozisi, uye vakanga vachitaurirana naJesu.
Moreover there appeared to them Elijah accompanied by Moses; and the two were conversing with Jesus,
5 Petro akati kuna Jesu, “Rabhi, zvakanaka kuti isu tigare pano. Ngativakei matumba matatu, rimwe renyu, rimwe raMozisi uye rimwe raEria.”
when Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, we are thankful to you that we are here. Let us put up three tents--one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
6 Akashaya zvokutaura, nokuti vakanga votya zvikuru.
For he knew not what to say: they were filled with such awe.
7 Ipapo gore rakaonekwa rikavafukidza, uye inzwi rakabuda mugore rikati, “Uyu ndiye Mwanakomana wangu, wandinoda. Munzwei!”
Then there came a cloud spreading over them, and a voice issued from the cloud, "This is my Son, dearly loved: listen to Him."
8 Pakarepo, vakatarisa kwose kwose, uye havana kuzoona munhu aripo navo kunze kwaJesu.
Instantly they looked round, and now they could no longer see any one, but themselves and Jesus.
9 Pavakanga vava kuburuka mugomo, Jesu akavarayira kuti varege kutaurira kana munhu upi zvake zvavakanga vaona kusvikira Mwanakomana woMunhu amuka kubva kuvakafa.
As they were coming down from the mountain, He very strictly forbad them to tell any one what they had seen "until after the Son of Man has risen from among the dead."
10 Vakachengeta shoko iri pakati pavo, vachikurukurirana pamusoro pokuti, “kumuka kwavakafa” kunorevei.
So they kept the matter to themselves, although frequently asking one another what was meant by the rising from the dead.
11 Uye vakamubvunza vakati, “Seiko vadzidzisi vomurayiro vachiti Eria anofanira kutanga kuuya?”
They also asked Him, "How is it that the Scribes say that Elijah must first come?"
12 Jesu akapindura akati, “Kutaura chokwadi, Eria anofanira kutanga kuuya, uye agovandudza zvinhu zvose. Zvino kwakanyorerwei kuchinzi Mwanakomana woMunhu anofanira kutambudzika zvikuru uye agorambwa?
"Elijah," He replied, "does indeed come first and reforms everything; but how is it that it is written of the Son of Man that He will endure much suffering and be held in contempt?
13 Asi ndinoti kwamuri, Eria akauya, uye vakaita kwaari zvinhu zvose zvavaida, sezvazvakanyorwa pamusoro pake.”
Yet I tell you that not only has Elijah come, but they have also done to him whatever they chose, as the Scriptures say about him."
14 Vakati vasvika kuna vamwe vadzidzi, vakaona vanhu vazhinji zhinji vakavakomberedza uye vadzidzisi vomurayiro vachiita nharo navo.
As they came to rejoin the disciples, they saw an immense crowd surrounding them and a party of Scribes disputing with them.
15 Vanhu vose pavakangoona Jesu, vakashamiswa zvikuru uye vakamhanya kundomukwazisa.
Immediately the whole multitude on beholding Him were astonished and awe-struck, and yet they ran forward and greeted Him.
16 Akati, “Muri kuvabvunzeiko?”
"What is the subject you are discussing?" He asked them.
17 Mumwe murume aiva pakati pavanhu vazhinji akapindura akati, “Mudzidzisi, ndauya kwamuri nomwanakomana wangu, akabatwa nomweya wakamupa umbeveve.
"Rabbi," answered one of the crowd, "I have brought you my son. He has a dumb spirit in him;
18 Pose pose paunomubata, unomukanda pasi. Anopupuma furo pamuromo, worumanisa meno ake uye anobva aoma. Ndakumbira vadzidzi venyu kuti vaudzinge asi havana kugona kuzviita.”
and wherever it comes upon him, it dashes him to the ground, and he foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth, and he is pining away. I begged your disciples to expel it, but they had not the power."
19 Jesu akati, “Haiwa rudzi rusingatendi, ndichagara nemi kusvikira riniko? Ndichakuitirai mwoyo murefu kusvikira riniko? Uyai nomukomana kwandiri.”
"O unbelieving generation!" replied Jesus; "how long must I be with you? how long must I have patience with you? Bring the boy to me."
20 Saka vakauya naye. Mweya wakati uchiona Jesu, pakarepo wakawisira mukomana pasi ukamubvundisa. Akawira pasi akaumburuka, achipupuma furo pamuromo.
So they brought him to Jesus. And the spirit, when he saw Jesus, immediately threw the youth into convulsions, so that he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth.
21 Jesu akabvunza baba vomukomana akati, “Ane nguva yakadii achiita izvi?” Vakapindura vakati, “Kubva pauduku hwake.
Then Jesus asked the father, "How long has he been like this?" "From early childhood," he said;
22 Kazhinji unosimuwisira mumoto kana mumvura kuti umuuraye. Asi kana muchigona kuita chinhu, tinzwirei tsitsi mutibatsire.”
"and often it has thrown him into the fire or into pools of water to destroy him. But, if you possibly can, have pity on us and help us."
23 Jesu akati, “Kana muchigona? Zvinhu zvose zvinogoneka kune anotenda.”
"'If I possibly can!'" replied Jesus; "why, everything is possible to him who believes."
24 Pakarepo baba vomukomana vakadanidzira vachiti, “Ndinotenda; ndibatsirei pakusatenda kwangu!”
Immediately the father cried out, "I do believe: strengthen my weak faith."
25 Jesu akati aona kuti vanhu vazhinji vakanga vomhanyira panzvimbo iyo, akarayira mweya wakaipa akati, “Iwe mweya woumatsi nomweya woumbeveve, ndinokurayira, buda maari, uye usazopindazve maari.”
Then Jesus, seeing that an increasing crowd was running towards Him, rebuked the foul spirit, and said to it, "Dumb and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him and never enter into him again."
26 Mweya wakadanidzira, ukamubvundisa zvikuru uye ukabuda. Mukomana akaita sokunge chitunha zvokuti vazhinji vakati, “Afa.”
So with a loud cry he threw the boy into fit after fit, and came out. The boy looked as if he were dead, so that most of them said he was dead;
27 Asi Jesu akamubata noruoko akamumisa netsoka dzake, uye akakwanisa kumira.
but Jesus took his hand and raised him up, and he stood on his feet.
28 Mushure mokunge Jesu apinda mumba, vadzidzi vake vakamubvunza vari voga vachiti, “Seiko isu takakundikana kuudzinga?”
After the return of Jesus to the house His disciples asked Him privately, "How is it that we could not expel the spirit?"
29 Akapindura achiti, “Rudzi urwu runongobva chete nokunyengetera nokutsanya.”
"An evil spirit of this kind," He answered, "can only be driven out by prayer."
30 Vakabva panzvimbo iyoyo vakapfuura nomuGarirea. Jesu akanga asingadi kuti zvizivikanwe nomunhu kuti vaiva kupi,
Departing thence they passed through Galilee, and He was unwilling that any one should know it;
31 nokuti akanga achidzidzisa vadzidzi vake. Akati kwavari, “Mwanakomana woMunhu achazopandukirwa achiiswa mumaoko avanhu. Vachamuuraya, uye shure kwamazuva matatu achamuka.”
for He was teaching His disciples, and telling them, "The Son of Man is to be betrayed into the hands of men, and they will put Him to death; and after being put to death, in three days He will rise to life again."
32 Asi havana kunzwisisa zvaakanga achireva uye vakanga vachitya kumubvunza pamusoro pazvo.
They, however, did not understand what He meant, and were afraid to question Him.
33 Vakasvika kuKapenaume. Paakanga ari mumba, akavabvunza akati, “Manga muchikakavadzana pamusoro peiko munzira?”
So they came to Capernaum; and when in the house He asked them, "What were you arguing about on the way?"
34 Asi vakanyarara nokuti vakanga vakakavadzana vari munzira pamusoro pokuti mukuru ndiani.
But they remained silent; for on the way they had debated with one another who was the chief of them.
35 Agara pasi, Jesu akadana vane gumi navaviri akati, “Kana munhu achida kuva wokutanga, anofanira kuva iye wokupedzisira, uye muranda wavose.”
Then sitting down He called the Twelve, and said to them, "If any one wishes to be first, he must be last of all and servant of all."
36 Akatora mwana muduku akamumisa pakati pavo. Akamubata mumaoko ake, akati kwavari,
And taking a young child He made him stand in their midst, then threw His arms round him and said,
37 “Ani naani anogamuchira mumwe wavaduku ava muzita rangu anogamuchira ini; uye ani naani anondigamuchira haagamuchiri ini asi iye akandituma.”
"Whoever for my sake receives one such young child as this, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not so much me as Him who sent me."
38 Johani akati, “Mudzidzisi, taona munhu achidzinga madhimoni muzita renyu tikamudzivisa, nokuti anga asiri mumwe wedu.”
"Rabbi," said John to Him, "we saw a man making use of your name to expel demons, and we tried to hinder him, on the ground that he did not follow us."
39 Jesu akati, “Musamudzivisa. Hakuna munhu anoita chishamiso muzita rangu angazotaura zvakaipa pamusoro pangu mushure maizvozvo,
"You should not have tried to hinder him," replied Jesus, "for there is no one who will use my name to perform a miracle and be able the next minute to speak evil of me.
40 nokuti ani naani asingarwisani nesu ndowedu.
He who is not against us is for us;
41 Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, ani naani anokupai mukombe wemvura muzita rangu nokuda kwokuti muri vaKristu zvirokwazvo haangazorasikirwi nomubayiro wake.
and whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ, I solemnly tell you that he will certainly not lose his reward.
42 “Uye kana ani naani akaita kuti mumwe wavaduku ava vanotenda kwandiri atadze, zvingava nani kwaari kuti akandwe mugungwa akasungirirwa guyo guru mumutsipa make.
"And whoever shall occasion the fall of one of these little ones who believe, he would be better off if, with a millstone round his neck, he were lying at the bottom of the sea.
43 Kana ruoko rwako ruchikuita kuti utadze, rugure. Zviri nani kwauri kuti upinde muupenyu uri chirema pano kuti upinde mugehena namaoko maviri, uko kune moto usingadzimwi, (Geenna g1067)
If your hand should cause you to sin, cut it off: it would be better for you to enter into Life maimed, than remain in possession of both your hands and go away into Gehenna, into the fire which cannot be put out. (Geenna g1067)
44 umo musingafi honye dzavo uye moto usingadzimwi.
45 Uye kana rutsoka rwako ruchiita kuti utadze, rugure. Zviri nani kwauri kupinda muupenyu uri chirema pano kupinda mugehena namakumbo maviri, (Geenna g1067)
Or if your foot should cause you to sin, cut it off: it would be better for you to enter into Life crippled, than remain in possession of both your feet and be thrown into Gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
46 umo musingafi honye dzavo uye moto usingadzimwi.
47 Uye kana ziso rako richiita kuti utadze, ribvise. Zviri nani kwauri kuti upinde muumambo hwaMwari neziso rimwe chete pano kuti uve namaziso maviri uye ugokandwa kugehena, (Geenna g1067)
Or if your eye should cause you to sin, tear it out. It would be better for you to enter into the Kingdom of God half-blind than remain in possession of two eyes and be thrown into Gehenna, (Geenna g1067)
48 uko “‘kusingafi honye dzavo uye moto wacho usingadzimwi.’
where their worm does not die and the fire does not go out.
49 Munhu wose acharungwa nomoto.
Every one, however, will be salted with fire.
50 “Munyu wakanaka, asi kana warasa kuvava kwawo, mungauita kuti urungezve here? Ivai nomunyu mukati menyu, uye muve norugare pakati penyu.”
Salt is a good thing, but if the salt should become tasteless, what will you use to give it saltness? Have salt within you and live at peace with one another."
