Mateo 4
1 Ipapo Jesu akatungamirirwa naMweya Mutsvene kurenje kuti andoedzwa nadhiabhori.
Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil.
2 Mushure mokunge atsanya kwamazuva makumi mana nousiku huna makumi mana, akanzwa nzara.
After fasting forty days and nights, he was hungry.
3 Muedzi akauya kwaari akasvikoti, “Kana uri Mwanakomana waMwari, rayira mabwe aya kuti ave chingwa.”
The tempter came and said to him, “If you really are the Son of God, order these stones to turn into bread.”
4 Jesu akapindura akati, “Kwakanyorwa kuchinzi, ‘Munhu haararame nechingwa bedzi, asi neshoko rimwe nerimwe rinobva mumuromo waMwari.’”
Jesus answered, “As Scripture says, ‘Human beings do not live by only eating bread, but by every word that comes 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 to the holy city and placed him on the top 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.”
“If you really are the son of God, then throw yourself off,” he told Jesus. “As Scripture says, ‘He will order his angels to save you from harm. They will catch you so that you won't fall by tripping over a stone.’”
7 Jesu akamupindura akati, “Kwakanyorwawo kuchinzi, ‘Usaedza Ishe Mwari wako.’”
Jesus answered, “As Scripture also says, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’”
8 Dhiabhori akamutorazve akaenda naye pamusoro pegomo refu kwazvo uye akamuratidza ushe hwose hwenyika nokubwinya kwahwo,
Then the devil took Jesus to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in all their glory.
9 akati, “Zvose izvi ndichakupa kana ukandikotamira uye ukandinamata.”
He said to Jesus, “I will give you all these if you fall down on your knees and worship me.”
10 Jesu akati kwaari, “Ibva pandiri Satani! Nokuti kwakanyorwa kuchinzi, ‘Namata Ishe Mwari wako uye umushumire iye oga.’”
“Go away, Satan!” said Jesus. “As Scripture says, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God and serve him, and him alone.’”
11 Ipapo dhiabhori akamusiya, uye vatumwa vakauya vakamushandira.
Then the devil left him, and angels came to care for him.
12 Jesu akati anzwa kuti Johani akanga aiswa mutorongo, akadzokera kuGarirea.
When Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he returned to Galilee.
13 Achibva kuNazareta, akaenda akandogara kuKapenaume, guta raiva pamahombekombe egungwa mudunhu reZebhuruni neNafutari,
Leaving Nazareth, he came to stay in Capernaum, on the shores of the sea in the regions of Zebulun and Naphthali.
14 kuti azadzise zvakarehwa nomuprofita Isaya achiti:
This fulfilled what Isaiah the prophet said,
15 “Nyika yeZebhuruni nenyika yeNafutari, nzira inoenda kugungwa, ichitevedza Jorodhani, Garirea reveDzimwe Ndudzi,
“In the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphthali, on the road to the sea, across the Jordan River, in Galilee where the foreigners live:
16 vanhu vaigara murima vakaona chiedza chikuru; kune avo vaigara munyika yomumvuri worufu, chiedza chavhenekera.”
The people living in darkness saw a great light; the light of dawn has shined on those living in the land of the shadow of death.”
17 Kubva panguva iyoyo zvichienda mberi, Jesu akatanga kuparidza achiti, “Tendeukai nokuti umambo hwokudenga hwava pedyo.”
From that time on Jesus began declaring his message, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has arrived!”
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.
As he was walking by the sea of Galilee Jesus saw two brothers. Simon, also called Peter, and his brother Andrew, were casting a net in the sea. They made their living by catching fish.
19 Jesu akati kwavari, “Uyai munditevere, uye ndichakuitai vabati vavanhu.”
“Come and follow me, and I will teach you how to catch people,” he told them.
20 Pakarepo vakabva vasiya mambure avo, vakamutevera.
They left their nets immediately 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,
Continuing on he saw two other brothers, James and John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets. He called them to follow him.
22 uye pakarepo vakasiya igwa nababa vavo vakamutevera.
They left the boat and their father immediately, and followed him.
23 Jesu akapota neGarirea rose achidzidzisa mumasinagoge avo, achiparidza nhau dzakanaka dzoumambo uye achiporesa hosha dzose nourwere hwose pakati pavanhu.
Jesus traveled throughout Galilee, teaching in the synagogues, telling the good news of the kingdom, and healing all the diseases and illnesses the people had.
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.
News about him spread throughout the province of Syria. They brought everyone who was sick to him: people troubled by seizures, the demon-possessed, those who were mentally ill, people who were paralyzed, and he healed all of them.
25 Vanhu vazhinji kwazvo vaibva kuGarirea, Dhekapori, Jerusarema, Judhea nedunhu riri mhiri kweJorodhani vakamutevera.
Large crowds followed him from Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and the region beyond Jordan.
