Mako 9
1 Zvino wakati kwavari: Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Vamwe varipo kune vamire pano, vasingazoraviri rufu, kusvikira vaona ushe hwaMwari huchiuya nesimba.
He added, Indeed, I say to you, there are some standing here, who shall not taste death, till they see the Reign of God ushered in with power.
2 Zvino shure kwemazuva matanhatu, Jesu akatora Petro, naJakobho, naJohwani, akavatungamidza mugomo refu, pachavo vari vega; akashandurwa chimiro pamberi pavo.
After six days, Jesus took Peter, and James, and John, apart to the top of a high mountain, and was transfigured in their presence.
3 Zvipfeko zvake zvikapenya, zvikachenesesa zvikuru semagada echando; hakuna musuki panyika, angagona kuzvichenesa zvikadaro.
His garments became glittering, and were like snow, of such whiteness as no fuller on the earth could imitate.
4 Zvino kwakaonekwa kwavari Eria naMozisi, uye vaitaurirana naJesu.
There appeared to them also Elijah and Moses, who were conversing with Jesus.
5 Petro akapindura akati kuna Jesu: Rabhi, zvakanaka kuti tiri pano; ngativake matende matatu, rimwe renyu, uye rimwe raMozisi, uye rimwe raEria.
Then Peter said to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good for us to stay here: let us make three booths, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah;
6 Nokuti wakange asingazivi chekutaura; nokuti vaitya zvikuru.
for he knew not what he said, they were so terrified.
7 Zvino kwakava negore rakavadzikatira, inzwi rikabuda mugore, richiti: Uyu Mwanakomana wangu anodikanwa, inzwai iye.
And there came a cloud which covered them; and out of the cloud issued a voice, which said, This is my Son, the beloved: hear him.
8 Kamwe-kamwe, vakati varinga-ringa, havana kuzochaona munhu, asi Jesu chete anavo.
And instantly, looking about, they saw no person but Jesus and themselves.
9 Zvino vakati vachiburuka mugomo, akavaraira kuti varege kuudza munhu zvavakange vaona kusvikira Mwanakomana wemunhu amuka kubva kuvakafa.
As they went down from the mountain, he charged them not to relate to any person what they had seen, till the Son of Man was risen from the dead.
10 Vakachengeta shoko iro mukati mavo, vachibvunzana kuti kumuka kwevakafa chii.
And they took notice of that expression, and inquired among themselves what the rising from the dead could mean.
11 Vakamubvunza, vachiti: Vanyori vanoreverei kuti Eria anofanira kutanga kuuya?
Then they asked him, saying, Why do the scribes affirm that Elijah must come first?
12 Akapindura, akati kwavari: Eria zvirokwazvo anotanga kuuya, avandudze zvinhu zvese; kwakagonyorwa sei zveMwanakomana wemunhu, kuti achatambudzika zvinhu zvizhinji nekuzvidzwa?
He answered, Elijah, to consummate the whole, must come first; and, (as it is written of the Son of Man, ) must likewise suffer many things and be contemned.
13 Asi ndinoreva kwamuri kuti Eriawo wakasvika, vakamuitira zvese zvavaida, sezvazvakanyorwa pamusoro pake.
But I tell you, that Elijah too is come, as was predicted, and they have treated him as they pleased.
14 Zvino wakati asvika kuvadzidzi, akaona chaunga chikuru chakavakomba, nevanyori vachipikisana navo.
When he returned to the other disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and some scribes disputing with them.
15 Pakarepo chaunga chese chakati chichimuona chikashamisika zvikuru, ndokumumhanyira, chikamukwazisa.
As soon as the people saw him, they were all struck with awe, and ran to salute him.
16 Akabvunza vanyori akati: Munopikisanei navo?
And he asked the scribes, About what do you dispute with them?
17 Umwe wechaunga akapindura akati: Mudzidzisi, ndauisa kwamuri mwanakomana wangu, ane mweya wechimumumu;
One of the people answering, said, Rabbi, I have brought you my son, who has a dumb spirit;
18 pangava papi paunomubata, unomubvambura; opupuma furo, nekugeda-geda meno ake, uye anooma; zvino ndakataura nevadzidzi venyu kuti vaubudise, vakasagona.
and wheresoever it seizes him, it dashes him on the ground, where he continues foaming, and grinding his teeth, till his strength is exhausted. And I spoke to your disciples to expel the demon, but they were not able.
19 Akamupindura akati: Haiwa zera risina rutendo, ndichava nemwi kusvikira rinhi? Ndichakuitirai moyo murefu kusvikira rinhi? Muuyisei kwandiri.
Jesus then said, O unbelieving generation! how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? Bring him to me.
20 Vakamuuisa kwaari; wakati achimuona, pakarepo mweya ukamubvambura; akawira pasi, akaumburuka achipupuma furo.
Accordingly they brought him: and no sooner did he see him, than the spirit threw him into convulsions, so that he foamed, and rolled upon the ground.
21 Ndokubva abvunza baba vake akati: Yava nguva yakadini kubvira izvozvi zvichiitika kwaari? Akati: Kubva paupwere.
Jesus asked the father, How long is it since this first befell him? He answered, From his infancy;
22 Kazhinji wakamuwisira nemumoto nemumvura, kuti umuparadze; asi kana muchigona kuita chinhu, mutinzwire tsitsi, mutibatsire.
and often it has thrown him both into the fire, and into the water, to destroy him; but if you can do anything, have compassion upon us and help us.
23 Jesu ndokuti kwaari: Kana uchigona kutenda, zvinhu zvese zvinogoneka kune anotenda.
Jesus replied, If you can believe; all things are practicable for him who believes.
24 Uye pakarepo baba vemwana vakadanidzira nemisodzi vakati: Ndinotenda, Ishe, batsirai pakusatenda kwangu.
The boy's father, crying out immediately, said with tears, I believe; Master, supply the defects of my faith.
25 Jesu wakati achiona kuti chaunga chinouya chichimhanyirana, akatsiura mweya wetsina, akati kwauri: Iwe, mweya wechimumumu nematsi, ini ndinokuraira: Buda maari, urege kupindazve maari.
When Jesus saw that the people came crowding upon him, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, Dumb and deaf spirit, come out of him, I command you, and enter no more into him.
26 Zvino mweya ukadanidzira, ukamubvundisa zvikuru ukabuda; akaita sewakafa, nokudaro vazhinji vakati: Wafa.
Then, having cried aloud and severely convulsed him, it came out, and he appeared as one dead, insomuch that many said, He is dead.
27 Asi Jesu wakabata ruoko rwake akamusimudza; akasimuka.
But Jesus taking him by the hand, raised him, and he stood up.
28 Zvino wakati apinda mumba, vadzidzi vake vakamubvunza vari vega vachiti: Sei isu takange tisingagoni kuubudisa?
When Jesus was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we expel the demon?
29 Ndokubva ati kwavari: Zera iri harigoni kubuda nechinhu, kunze nekunyengetera nekutsanya.
He answered, This kind can not be dislodged unless by prayer and fasting.
30 Vakabva ipapo, vakagura neGarirea, akange asingadi kuti chero ani azvizive.
Having left that place, they pass through Galilee; and he was desirous that no person should know it,
31 Nokuti aidzidzisa vadzidzi vake, achiti kwavari: Mwanakomana wemunhu achakumikidzwa mumaoko evanhu, uye vachamuuraya; kana aurawa achamuka nezuva retatu.
for he was instructing his disciples. And he said to them, The Son of Man will soon be delivered into the hands of men, who will kill him; and after he is killed, he will rise again the third day.
32 Asi havana kunzwisisa shoko iro, vachitya kumubvunza.
But they understood not what he meant, and were afraid to ask him.
33 Zvino wakasvika muKapenaume; akati ava mumba, akavabvunza, achiti: Manga muchikakavadzana chii munzira?
When he was come to Capernaum, being in the house, he asked them, What were you debating amongst yourselves by the way?
34 Asi vakanyarara, nokuti munzira vakange vakakavadzana kuti mukurusa ndiani.
But they were silent; for they had debated amongst themselves by the way, who should be greatest.
35 Zvino akagara pasi, akadana vanegumi nevaviri, akati kwavari: Kana munhu achida kuva wekutanga, achava wekupedzisira kune vese nemushandi wevese.
Then having sat down, he called the twelve, and said to them, If any man would be first, he shall be the last of all, and the servant of all.
36 Ndokutora mucheche, akamumisa pakati pavo; akati amugumbatira, akati kwavari:
And he took a child, and placed him in the midst of them, and holding him in his arms, said to them,
37 Ani nani anogamuchira umwe wevacheche vakadai muzita rangu, anogamuchira ini; uye ani nani anogamuchira ini, haagamuchiri ini, asi uyo wakandituma.
Whosoever shall receive one such child on my account, receives me; and whosoever shall receive me, receives not me, but him who sent me.
38 Zvino Johwani akamupindura, achiti: Mudzidzisi, takaona umwe asingatiteveri achibudisa madhimoni muzita renyu; tikamudzivisa, nokuti haana kutitevera.
Then John said to him, Rabbi, we saw one expelling demons in your name, who follows not us, and we forbade him, because he does not follow us.
39 Asi Jesu wakati: Musamudzivisa, nokuti hakuna munhu angaita basa resimba muzita rangu, anogona kukurumidza kutaura zvakaipa pamusoro pangu.
Jesus answered, Forbid him not; for there is none that works a miracle in my name, that can readily speak evil of me.
40 Nokuti asingapikisani nesu, ndewedu.
For whosoever is not against you is for you.
41 Nokuti ani nani anokupai mukombe wemvura kuti munwe muzita rangu, nokuti muri vaKristu, zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Haangamborasikirwi nemubairo wake.
For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink on my account, because you are Christ's; indeed, I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.
42 Uye ani nani anogumbusa umwe wevadiki ava vanotenda kwandiri, zviri nani kwaari kuti guyo guru risungirirwe kupoteredza pamutsipa wake, akandirwe mugungwa.
But whoever shall ensnare any of the little ones, who believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were fastened to his neck, and that he were thrown into the sea.
43 Uye kana ruoko rwako ruchikugumbusa, rugure; zviri nani kwauri kupinda muupenyu uri chirema, pane kuti une maoko maviri uende mugehena, mumoto usingadzimiki, (Geenna g1067)
Moreover, if your hand ensnare you, cut it off; it is better for you to enter maimed into life, than having two hands to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire; (Geenna g1067)
44 apo pasingafi honye yavo, nemoto usingadzimi.
where their worm dies not, and their fire is not quenched.
45 Uye kana rutsoka rwako ruchikugumbusa, rugure; zviri nani kwauri kupinda muupenyu uchikamhina, pane kuti une tsoka mbiri ukandirwe mugehena, mumoto usingadzimiki, (Geenna g1067)
And if your foot ensnare you, cut it off; it is better for you to enter lame into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the unquenchable fire; (Geenna g1067)
46 apo pasingafi honye yavo, nemoto usingadzimi.
where their worm dies not, and their fire is not quenched.
47 Zvino kana ziso rako richikugumbusa, ridzure; zviri nani kwauri kupinda muushe hwaMwari une ziso rimwe, pakuti une maziso maviri, ukandirwe mugehena remoto, (Geenna g1067)
And if your eye ensnare you, pull it out; it is better for you to enter one-eyed into the kingdom of God, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire; (Geenna g1067)
48 apo pasingafi honye yavo, nemoto usingadzimi.
where their worm dies not, and their fire is not quenched.
49 Nokuti wese acharungwa nemoto uye chibairo chese chicharungwa nemunyu.
For every one shall be seasoned with fire; as every sacrifice is seasoned with salt.
50 Munyu wakanaka; asi kana munyu warasa kuvava, mungaurunga nei? Ivai nemunyu mamuri, mugarisane nerugare.
Salt is good; but if the salt become tasteless, with what will you season it? Preserve salt in yourselves, and maintain peace with one another.
