Mako 1
1 Kutanga kwevhangeri raJesu Kristu, Mwanakomana waMwari.
The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
2 Kwakanyorwa muna Isaya muprofita kuchinzi: “Ndichatuma nhume yangu mberi kwako, uyo achagadzira nzira yako,”
As it is written in Isaias the prophet: Behold I send my angel before thy face, who shall prepare the way before thee.
3 “inzwi rounodana murenje, richiti, ‘Gadzirai nzira yaShe, ruramisai migwagwa yake.’”
A voice of one crying in the desert: Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.
4 Uye saizvozvo Johani akauya, achibhabhatidza murenje uye achiparidza rubhabhatidzo rwokutendeuka kuti varegererwe zvivi.
John was in the desert baptizing, and preaching the baptism of penance, unto remission of sins.
5 Nyika yose yeJudhea navanhu vose veJerusarema vakaenda kwaari. Vachireurura zvivi zvavo, vakabhabhatidzwa naye muRwizi rweJorodhani.
And there went out to him all the country of Judea, and all they of Jerusalem, and were baptized by him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.
6 Johani aipfeka nguo dzamakushe engamera, nebhanhire reganda muchiuno chake, uye aidya mhashu nouchi hwesango.
And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and he ate locusts and wild honey.
7 Uye iyi ndiyo yakanga iri mharidzo yake: “Shure kwangu kuchauya mumwe ane simba kupfuureni wandisina kufanira kusunungura rukanda rweshangu dzake.
And he preached, saying: There cometh after me one mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and loose.
8 Ndinokubhabhatidzai nemvura, asi iye achakubhabhatidzai noMweya Mutsvene.”
I have baptized you with water; but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.
9 Panguva iyoyo Jesu akauya achibva kuNazareta muGarirea uye akabhabhatidzwa naJohani muJorodhani.
And it came to pass, in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
10 Jesu paakanga ava kubuda mumvura, akaona denga richizarurwa uye Mweya achiburukira pamusoro pake senjiva.
And forthwith coming up out of he water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit as a dove descending, and remaining on him.
11 Uye inzwi rakauya richibva kudenga richiti, “Ndiwe Mwanakomana wangu, wandinoda, wandinofarira kwazvo.”
And there came a voice from heaven: Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
12 Pakarepo Mweya akamutumira kurenje,
And immediately the Spirit drove him out into the desert.
13 uye akanga ari murenje kwamazuva makumi mana, achiedzwa naSatani. Akanga ari pamwe chete nemhuka dzesango uye vatumwa vakamushandira.
And he was in the desert forty days and forty nights, and was tempted by Satan; and he was with beasts, and the angels ministered to him.
14 Mushure mokunge Johani aiswa mutorongo, Jesu akaenda kuGarirea, achiparidza vhangeri raMwari.
And after that John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
15 Akati, “Nguva yasvika. Umambo hwaMwari hwaswedera. Tendeukai mutende vhangeri!”
And saying: The time is accomplished, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent, and believe the gospel.
16 Jesu paakanga achifamba pamahombekombe eGungwa reGarirea, akaona Simoni nomununʼuna wake Andirea vachikanda usvasvi mugungwa, nokuti vakanga vari vabati vehove.
And passing by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother, casting nets into the sea (for they were fishermen).
17 Jesu akati, “Uyai munditevere, uye ndichakuitai vabati vavanhu.”
And Jesus said to them: Come after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
18 Pakarepo vakasiya usvasvi hwavo vakamutevera.
And immediately leaving their nets, they followed him.
19 Akati afamba chinhambwe zvishoma, akaona Jakobho mwanakomana waZebhedhi nomununʼuna wake Johani vari mugwa, vachigadzira usvasvi hwavo.
And going on from thence a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were mending their nets in the ship:
20 Haana kunonoka, akavadana, uye vakasiya baba vavo, Zebhedhi, mugwa vaine vashandi vavo, vakamutevera.
And forthwith he called them. And leaving their father Zebedee in the ship with his hired men, they followed him.
21 Vakaenda kuKapenaume, uye nomusi weSabata, Jesu akapinda musinagoge akatanga kudzidzisa.
And they entered into Capharnaum, and forthwith upon the sabbath days going into the synagogue, he taught them.
22 Vanhu vakashamiswa nokudzidzisa kwake, nokuti akavadzidzisa somunhu ane simba, asingaiti savadzidzisi vomurayiro.
And they were astonished at his doctrine. For he was teaching them as one having power, and not as the scribes.
23 Pakarepo mumwe murume akanga ari musinagoge ravo akanga akabatwa nomweya wakaipa akadanidzira achiti,
And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
24 “Munodeiko kwatiri, imi Jesu weNazareta? Mauya kuzotiparadza here? Ndinoziva kuti ndimi ani, imi Mutsvene waMwari!”
Saying: What have we to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know who thou art, the Holy One of God.
25 Jesu akarayira akati, “Nyarara! Buda maari!”
And Jesus threatened him, saying: Speak no more, and go out of the man.
26 Mweya wakaipa wakamuzunza-zunza ndokubva wabuda maari nenzwi guru.
And the unclean spirit tearing him, and crying out with a loud voice, went out of him.
27 Vanhu vose vakashamiswa kwazvo zvokuti vakabvunzana vachiti, “Chiiko ichi? Idzidziso itsva ine simba! Anorayira kunyange mweya yakaipa, uye ichimuteerera.”
And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying: What thing is this? what is this new doctrine? for with power he commandeth even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.
28 Mukurumbira wake wakapararira munyika yose yeGarirea.
And the fame of him was spread forthwith into all the country of Galilee.
29 Vakati vachangobva musinagoge, vakaenda naJakobho naJohani kumba kwaSimoni naAndirea.
And immediately going out of the synagogue they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30 Ambuya vaSimoni vakanga vavete pamubhedha vachirwara nefivha, uye vakaudza Jesu nezvavo.
And Simon’s wife’s mother lay in a fit of a fever: and forthwith they tell him of her.
31 Saka akaenda kwavari, akabata ruoko rwavo akavabatsira kusimuka. Fivha yakabva mavari vakatanga kuvashandira.
And coming to her, he lifted her up, taking her by the hand; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.
32 Manheru acho iwayo zuva ravira, vanhu vakauya kuna Jesu navose vairwara navakanga vakabatwa namadhimoni.
And when it was evening, after sunset, they brought to him all that were ill and that were possessed with devils.
33 Guta rose rakaungana pamukova,
And all the city was gathered together at the door.
34 uye Jesu akaporesa vazhinji vakanga vane zvirwere zvakasiyana-siyana. Akadzingawo madhimoni mazhinji, asi akanga asingatenderi madhimoni kuti ataure nokuti akanga achiziva kuti iye ndiani.
And he healed many that were troubled with divers diseases; and he cast out many devils, and he suffered them not to speak, because they knew him.
35 Mangwanani-ngwanani, kuchakasviba, Jesu akamuka akabuda mumba akaenda kunzvimbo yaakanga ari oga, ikoko akandonyengetera.
And rising very early, going out, he went into a desert place: and there he prayed.
36 Simoni navamwe vake vakaenda kundomutsvaka,
And Simon, and they that were with him, followed after him.
37 uye vakati vamuwana, vakati, “Vanhu vose vanokutsvakai!”
And when they had found him, they said to him: All seek for thee.
38 Jesu akapindura akati, “Ngatiendei kune imwe nzvimbo, kumisha iri pedyo, kuti ndinoparidzawo ikoko. Ndizvo zvandakauyira.”
And he saith to them: Let us go into the neighbouring towns and cities, that I may preach there also; for to this purpose am I come.
39 Saka akafamba nomuGarirea yose, achiparidza mumasinagoge avo uye achidzinga madhimoni.
And he was preaching in their synagogues, and in all Galilee, and casting out devils.
40 Mumwe murume akanga ana maperembudzi akauya kwaari akapfugama, akamukumbira zvikuru achiti, “Kana muchida, munogona kundinatsa.”
And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down said to him: If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
41 Jesu akamunzwira ngoni, akatambanudza ruoko rwake akabata murume uya. Akati, “Ndinoda. Chinatswa!”
And Jesus having compassion on him, stretched forth his hand; and touching him, saith to him: I will. Be thou made clean.
42 Pakarepo maperembudzi akabva paari uye akaporeswa.
And when he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean.
43 Jesu akamuendesa pakarepo akamuyambira zvikuru achiti,
And he strictly charged him, and forthwith sent him away.
44 “Chenjera kuti urege kuudza mumwe munhu. Asi enda, undozviratidza kumuprista ugobayira chipiriso chakarayirwa naMozisi chokuporeswa kwako, chive chapupu kwavari.”
And he saith to him: See thou tell no one; but go, shew thyself to the high priest, and offer for thy cleansing the things that Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.
45 Asi iye akabuda akatanga kutaura akasununguka, achiparadzira shoko iro. Nokuda kwaizvozvo, Jesu haana kuzogona kupinda muguta zviri pachena asi akagara kunze, kunzvimbo dzakanyarara. Kunyange zvakadaro vanhu vakaramba vachiuya kwaari vachibva kumativi ose.
But he being gone out, began to publish and to blaze abroad the word: so that he could not openly go into the city, but was without in desert places: and they flocked to him from all sides.
