< Mateo 4 >

1 Ipapo Jesu akatungamirirwa naMweya Mutsvene kurenje kuti andoedzwa nadhiabhori.
Then was Jesus led up by the Spirit into the wilderness, to be tempted by the devil.
2 Mushure mokunge atsanya kwamazuva makumi mana nousiku huna makumi mana, akanzwa nzara.
And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward hungry.
3 Muedzi akauya kwaari akasvikoti, “Kana uri Mwanakomana waMwari, rayira mabwe aya kuti ave chingwa.”
And the tempter came to him and said: If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.
4 Jesu akapindura akati, “Kwakanyorwa kuchinzi, ‘Munhu haararame nechingwa bedzi, asi neshoko rimwe nerimwe rinobva mumuromo waMwari.’”
But he answered and said: It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of God.
5 Ipapo dhiabhori akamutora akaenda naye muguta dzvene uye akandomuita kuti amire pachiruvi chetemberi, akati,
Then the devil took him into the holy city, and placed him on the pinnacle of the temple,
6 “Kana uri Mwanakomana waMwari, zviwisire pasi, nokuti kwakanyorwa kuchinzi: “Acharayira vatumwa vake pamusoro pako uye vachakusimudza namaoko avo kuti urege kugumburisa rutsoka rwako nebwe.”
and said to him: If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written: He will give his angels charge concerning you; and in their hands shall they take you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.
7 Jesu akamupindura akati, “Kwakanyorwawo kuchinzi, ‘Usaedza Ishe Mwari wako.’”
Jesus said to him: It is again written, You shall not put the Lord your God to the proof.
8 Dhiabhori akamutorazve akaenda naye pamusoro pegomo refu kwazvo uye akamuratidza ushe hwose hwenyika nokubwinya kwahwo,
Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them,
9 akati, “Zvose izvi ndichakupa kana ukandikotamira uye ukandinamata.”
and said to him: All these things will I give you, if you will fall down and worship me.
10 Jesu akati kwaari, “Ibva pandiri Satani! Nokuti kwakanyorwa kuchinzi, ‘Namata Ishe Mwari wako uye umushumire iye oga.’”
Then Jesus said to him: Get behind me, Satan, for it is written: You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.
11 Ipapo dhiabhori akamusiya, uye vatumwa vakauya vakamushandira.
Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and ministered to him.
12 Jesu akati anzwa kuti Johani akanga aiswa mutorongo, akadzokera kuGarirea.
Now when Jesus heard that John was delivered up; he withdrew into Galilee;
13 Achibva kuNazareta, akaenda akandogara kuKapenaume, guta raiva pamahombekombe egungwa mudunhu reZebhuruni neNafutari,
and, leaving Nazareth, he went and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea, in the borders of Zebulon and Naphtali,
14 kuti azadzise zvakarehwa nomuprofita Isaya achiti:
that the word might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:
15 “Nyika yeZebhuruni nenyika yeNafutari, nzira inoenda kugungwa, ichitevedza Jorodhani, Garirea reveDzimwe Ndudzi,
The land of Zebulon, and the land of Naphtali, toward the sea beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
16 vanhu vaigara murima vakaona chiedza chikuru; kune avo vaigara munyika yomumvuri worufu, chiedza chavhenekera.”
the people that sat in darkness saw great light; and upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death light has risen.
17 Kubva panguva iyoyo zvichienda mberi, Jesu akatanga kuparidza achiti, “Tendeukai nokuti umambo hwokudenga hwava pedyo.”
From that time Jesus began to preach and to say: Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
18 Jesu paakanga achifamba pedyo negungwa reGarirea, akaona varume vaviri, Simoni ainzi Petro nomununʼuna wake Andirea. Vakanga vachikanda mambure avo mugungwa nokuti vaiva vabati vehove.
And as he was walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, throwing a net into the sea, for they were fishers.
19 Jesu akati kwavari, “Uyai munditevere, uye ndichakuitai vabati vavanhu.”
And he said to them: Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.
20 Pakarepo vakabva vasiya mambure avo, vakamutevera.
And they immediately left their nets and followed him.
21 Achibva ipapo, akaonazve vamwe varume vaviri vaiva mukoma nomununʼuna, Jakobho mwanakomana waZebhedhi nomununʼuna wake Johani. Vakanga vari mugwa nababa vavo Zebhedhi vachigadzira mambure avo. Jesu akavadana,
And going on thence, he saw other two brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.
22 uye pakarepo vakasiya igwa nababa vavo vakamutevera.
And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.
23 Jesu akapota neGarirea rose achidzidzisa mumasinagoge avo, achiparidza nhau dzakanaka dzoumambo uye achiporesa hosha dzose nourwere hwose pakati pavanhu.
And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and curing every disease, and every kind of sickness among the people.
24 Mukurumbira wake wakapararira muSiria yose, uye vanhu vakauya kwaari navose vairwara nezvirwere zvakasiyana-siyana, avo vaitambudzwa namarwadzo akanyanya, vakanga vakabatwa namadhimoni, vaiva nezvipusha, nevakanga vakafa mitezo, uye akavaporesa.
And his fame went abroad into all Syria. And they brought to him all that were sick, those who were afflicted with various diseases and pains, and those who were possessed with demons, and lunatics, and paralytics; and he cured them.
25 Vanhu vazhinji kwazvo vaibva kuGarirea, Dhekapori, Jerusarema, Judhea nedunhu riri mhiri kweJorodhani vakamutevera.
And many multitudes followed him from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and from beyond the Jordan.
