Ruka 8
1 Zvino zvakaitika shure kweizvozvo, kuti iye wakagura nemuguta nemusha umwe neumwe, achidanidzira nekuparidza mashoko akanaka eushe hwaMwari; nevanegumi nevaviri vanaye,
AND it came to pass afterwards, that he went through every city and village, preaching and publishing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God, and the twelve with him.
2 nevamwe vakadzi vakange vaporeswa pamweya yakaipa neurwere, Maria anonzi Magidharini, maari makabuda madhimoni manomwe,
And certain women who had been cured of evil spirits and sicknesses, Mary called Magdalene, from whom seven devils had gone out.
3 naJohwana mukadzi waKuza mutariri waHerodhe, naSusana, nevamwe vazhinji, vaimubatsira nenhumbi dzavo.
And Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod’s lieutenant-governor, and Susanna, and many others, who ministred to his support out of their possessions.
4 Zvino chaunga chikuru chakati chaungana, uye vaibva kuguta ripi neripi vachiuya kwaari, akataura nemufananidzo akati:
Now when a vast multitude was collected, even those who came to him out of every city, he spake by a parable.
5 Mukushi wakabuda kunokusha mbeu yake; zvino pakukusha kwake, imwe yakawira kurutivi rwenzira, ndokutsikwa netsoka, shiri dzekudenga dzikaidya dzikaipedza.
A sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell by the road side, and was trodden under foot, and the birds of the air devoured it up.
6 Uye imwe ikawira paruware; zvino yakamera, ikawoma, nokuti yakashaiwa unyoro.
And other seed fell on a rock, and vegetating, withered because it had no moisture.
7 Neimwe ikawira pakati peminzwa, minzwa ikakura nayo, ikaivhunga.
And other seed fell amidst thorns, and the thorns springing up with it, choked it.
8 Uye imwe yakawira muvhu rakanaka, ikamera, ikabereka zvibereko zvinezana. Wakati ataura zvinhu izvi, akadanidzira achiti: Ane nzeve dzekunzwa, ngaanzwe.
And some fell on good ground, and shooting up, produced fruit an hundred fold. So saying, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
9 Vadzidzi vake ndokumubvunza vachiti: Mufananidzo uyu ungavei?
Then his disciples asked him, saying. What might this parable mean?
10 Ndokubva ati: Kwamuri kwakapiwa kuziva zvakavanzika zveushe hwaMwari; asi kune vamwe zviri mumifananidzo, kuti vachiona vasaona; uye vachinzwa vasanzwisisa.
And he said, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God; but to the rest in parables: that seeing they may not perceive, and hearing may not comprehend.
11 Zvino mufananidzo ndiwoyu: Mbeu ishoko raMwari.
Now this is the parable: The seed is the word of God.
12 Avo vaparutivi rwenzira ndivo vanonzwa, ipapo dhiabhorosi anouya ndokubvisa shoko pamoyo wavo, kuti varege kutenda, vaponeswe.
They by the road side, are such as hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh the word from their heart, that they should not be saved in believing.
13 Nevaparuware ndevaya, vanoti kana vanzwa, vanogamuchira shoko nemufaro; asi ava havana mudzi, vanotenda kwenguva, asi nenguva yemuedzo vanowa.
And they on the rock, are such as when they have heard, with joy embrace the word; and these have not root, who for a time believe, and in a season of trial apostasize.
14 Neyakawira paminzwa, ndevaya kana vanzwa, zvino vanoenda ndokuvhungwa nekufunganya nefuma nemafaro eupenyu, vakasasvitsa zvibereko.
And that which fell among thorns, are they having heard, and going away, are choked by the cares, and wealth, and pleasures of life, and bring forth no perfect fruit.
15 Asi iri muvhu rakanaka, ndevaya vanoti vanzwa shoko, vanorichengeta mumoyo wakarurama nowakanaka, vachibereka zvibereko nekutsungirira.
But that on the good ground are they who having heard the word, retain it in a heart excellent and good, and bring forth fruit with patience.
16 Hakuna munhu anoti kana atungidza mwenje, anoufukidzira nemudziyo, kana kuisa pasi pemubhedha; asi anouisa pachigadziko chemwenje, kuti avo vanopinda vaone chiedza.
No man lighting a lamp hides it with a cover, or putteth it under a bed, but on a stand, that they who are coming in, may see the light.
17 Nokuti hakuna chakavanzika, chisingazovi pachena, kana chakavigwa, chisingazozikanwi nekubuda pachena.
For there is nothing hid which shall not be made manifest, nor concealed, which shall not be known and brought to light.
18 Naizvozvo chenjerai, kuti munonzwa sei; nokuti ani nani anazvo, achapiwa; asi ani nani asina, achatorerwa kunyange icho chaanofunga kuti anacho.
Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, even what he seemeth to have shall be taken away from.
19 Zvino kwakauya kwaari mai nevanin'ina vake, vakasagona kusvika kwaari nekuda kwechaunga.
Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come near him because of the crowd.
20 Akaudzwa nevamwe vakati: Mai venyu nevanin'ina venyu vamire panze, vanoda kukuonai.
And it was told him, saying, Thy mother and thy brethren are standing without, desirous of seeing thee.
21 Asi wakapindura akati kwavari: Mai vangu nevanin'ina vangu ndeava vanonzwa shoko raMwari vachiriita.
Then he answered and said to them, My mother and my brethren are they, who hear the word of God, and practise it.
22 Zvino zvakaitika nerimwe remazuva kuti wakapinda muchikepe iye nevadzidzi vake, akati kwavari: Ngatiyambukire kune rumwe rutivi rwegungwa; vakasimuka nechikepe.
And it came to pass on one of the days, that he went himself into a ship, and his disciples, and said unto them, Let us pass over to the farther side of the lake. And they set fail.
23 Zvino vakati vachienda nechikepe, akarara hope; kukauya dutu guru remhepo padziva; vakazarirwa nemvura, vakava munjodzi.
And while they were on the passage, he went to sleep: and a hurricane of wind rushed down on the lake; and they were filled with water, and imminent danger.
24 Vakaswedera vakamumutsa, vachiti: Tenzi, tenzi, toparara! Ipapo akamuka, akatsiura mhepo nemafungu emvura; zvikaguma, kukava nekudzikama.
Then they came and awoke him, saying, Master, Master, we are perishing. Then arising, he issued his command to the wind, and the billows of water, and they subsided, and there was a calm.
25 Ndokubva ati kwavari: Rutendo rwenyu rwuripi? Asi vachitya vakashamisika, vakataurirana vachiti: Ko ndeupi uyu, kuti anoraira kunyange nemhepo nemvura, zvichimuteerera?
And he said to them, Where is your faith? And they feared and were astonished, saying one to another, Well! what a man is this! that he commands even the winds and the sea, and they obey him.
26 Zvino vakaenda nechikepe kunyika yeVaGadharini, yakatarisana neGarirea.
And they sailed over unto the region of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee.
27 Wakati achibudira panyika, akamuchingamidza umwe murume achibva muguta, wakange ane madhimoni kwenguva refu, uye asingapfeki nguvo, asingagari mumba, asi kumarinda.
And as he landed, there met him a certain man from the city, who had devils for a long while, and kept no clothes on him, and never abode in a house, but in the tombs.
28 Wakati achiona Jesu, akadanidzira ndokuwira pasi pamberi pake, akati nenzwi guru: Ndinei nemwi, Jesu, Mwanakomana waMwari Wekumusoro-soro? Ndinokukumbirisai, musanditambudza.
But when he saw Jesus, roaring out, he fell down before him, and said with a loud voice, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God Most High? I pray thee, torment me not.
29 Nokuti wakange araira mweya wetsvina kuti ubude kumunhu; nokuti wakange wamubata nguva zhinji uye waichengetwa akasungwa nemaketani nemabote; asi akadambura zvisungo, achitinhirwa kumarenje nedhimoni.
For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man; for many times it had seized on him; and though under a guard, and bound with chains and fetters; yet bursting the bonds, he was driven by the devil into the desert places.
30 Jesu ndokumubvunza achiti: Zita rako ndiani? Akati: Regiyoni; nokuti madhimoni mazhinji akange apinda maari.
Then Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? and he said, Legion: for many devils were entered into him.
And he besought him that he would not order them to go into the abyss. (Abyssos g12)
32 Zvino kwakange kuripo ipapo boka renguruve zhinji dzaifura mugomo; akamukumbirisa kuti amatendere kupinda madziri. Akamatendera.
Now a herd of many swine was there feeding on the mountain; and they besought him that he would permit them to enter into them. And he permitted them.
33 Zvino madhimoni akabuda kumunhu, akapinda munguruve; boka ndokupitirikira kumawere richienda kudziva, rikabitirirwa.
Then the devils going out of the man, entered into the swine; and the herd rushed down a precipice into the lake, and was suffocated.
34 Zvino vaidzifudza vachiona zvaitika, vakatiza, vakaenda kunotaura muguta nemumaruwa.
But when those who fed them saw what was done they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country places.
35 Zvino vakabuda kunoona zvaitika; vakasvika kuna Jesu, vakawana munhu, wakange abuda madhimoni maari agere patsoka dzaJesu, akapfeka uye akakwana mupfungwa; vakatya.
And they came out to see what had happened; and they came to Jesus, and found the man sitting, from whom the devils were gone out, clothed, and in his sound mind, at the feet of Jesus; and they were afraid.
36 Vakange vazvionawo vakavaudza kuti akaponeswa sei aiva nemadhimoni.
Then they also who had seen how the demoniac was recovered, told them.
37 Zvino chaunga chese chedunhu rakapoteredza VaGadharini chakakumbirisa kwaari kuti abve kwavari, nokuti vabatwa nekutya kukuru; akapinda muchikepe, akadzokera.
And the whole multitude of the country around the Gadarenes, entreated him to depart from them; for they were seized with great terror: and he embarked on the vessel, and returned.
38 Asi murume wakange abuda madhimoni maari, wakakumbirisa kwaari kuti ave naye. Asi Jesu wakamurega achienda, achiti:
And the man out of whom the devils had gone, besought him to be with him; but Jesus sent him away, saying,
39 Dzokera kumba kwako, unotaura kuti zvikuru sei Mwari zvaaita kwauri. Akaenda, akaparidza muguta rese kuti zvikuru sei Jesu zvaakamuitira.
Return to thy house, and declare what things God hath done for thee. And he went away, and published through the whole city what things Jesus had done for him.
40 Zvino zvakaitika kuti pakudzoka kwaJesu, chaunga chakamugamuchira; nokuti vese vakange vakamurindira.
And it came to pass, when Jesus returned, the people welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.
41 Zvino tarira, kwakasvika murume, zita rake rainzi Jairosi, iye wakange ari mukuru wesinagoge, ndokuwira patsoka dzaJesu, akamukumbirisa kuti apinde mumba make;
And, behold, there came a man whose name was Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and falling at the feet of Jesus, he entreated him to come to his house;
42 nokuti wakange ane mukunda wakaberekwa umwe wega wemakore anenge gumi nemaviri, uye iye wakange achitandadza. Zvino wakati achaenda, zvaunga zvikamumbandidzira.
for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying: and as he was going, the multitude thronged him.
43 Uye mukadzi, waiva nekubuda ropa kwemakore gumi nemaviri, wakange apedzera zvese zveupenyu hwake kuvarapi, asingagoni kurapwa kwete neumwe.
And a woman, who had a flux of blood, for twelve years, who had spent all her substance on physicians, and could not get a cure from any;
44 Akauya mushure make, akabata mupendero wenguvo yake; pakarepo kubuda kweropa kwake kukaguma.
coming behind him, touched the fringe of his garment; and instantly the flux of her blood stopped.
45 Jesu ndokuti: Ndiani wandibata? Zvino vese vakati vachiramba, Petro nevaiva naye vakati: Tenzi, zvaunga zvinokumbandidzirai nekukutsikirirai zvino moti: Ndiani wandibata?
And Jesus said, Who touched me? And when all denied, Peter, and those who were with him, said, Master, the multitudes throng and press thee, and sayest thou, Who hath touched me?
46 Asi Jesu wakati: Aripo wandibata; nokuti ini ndaziva kuti simba rabuda kwandiri.
Then said Jesus, Some person hath touched me, for I know that miraculous power is gone out from me.
47 Zvino mukadzi wakati achiona kuti haana kuvanzika, akauya achibvunda, akawira pasi pamberi pake, akarondedzera kwaari pamberi pevanhu vese kuti wakamubata nechikonzero chipi, uye kuti wakaporeswa pakarepo sei.
Then the woman seeing she was not hid, came trembling, and falling down before him, declared to him before all the people, for what cause she had touched him; and how she was cured instantaneously.
48 Zvino akati kwaari: Mukunda, tsunga moyo, rutendo rwako rwakuponesa; enda nerugare.
Then he said unto her, Be of good cheer, daughter, thy faith hath made thee well; go in peace.
49 Wakati achataura, kwakauya umwe achibva kumba kwemukuru wesinagoge, achiti kwaari: Mukunda wenyu wafa; musatambudza Mudzidzisi.
And while he was yet speaking, a person came to the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead, give the master no further trouble.
50 Asi Jesu wakati achinzwa, akamupindura, achiti: Usatya, tenda chete, uye achaponeswa.
Then Jesus hearing it, addressed him, saying, Fear not, only believe, and she shall be saved.
51 Zvino wakati apinda mumba, haana kutendera munhu kupinda, kunze kwaPetro, naJakobho, naJohwani, nababa vemusikana, namai.
And entering into the house, he suffered no person to come in, but Peter, and James, and John, and the father and mother of the child.
52 Uye vese vakachema, vachimuririra. Asi wakati: Musachema, haana kufa, asi arere.
Now all were weeping and lamenting her: and he said, Weep not, she is not dead, but asleep.
53 Vakamuseka nekumhura, vachiziva kuti wafa.
And they derided him, for they knew that she was dead.
54 Asi wakavabudisira vese panze, akamubata ruoko, akadanidzira, achiti: Musikana, muka!
And he put them all without, and taking her by the hand, cried, saying, Maid, arise!
55 Mweya wake ukadzoka, akamuka pakarepo; akaraira kuti apiwe kudya.
And her spirit returned, and she immediately arose; and he commanded to give her something to eat.
56 Zvino vabereki vake vakavhiringidzika; asi wakavaraira kuti varege kuudza munhu zvakaitika.
And her parents were struck with amazement. But he enjoined them to tell no man what was done.
