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 afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and showing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,
2 nevamwe vakadzi vakange vaporeswa pamweya yakaipa neurwere, Maria anonzi Magidharini, maari makabuda madhimoni manomwe,
And certain women, who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven demons,
3 naJohwana mukadzi waKuza mutariri waHerodhe, naSusana, nevamwe vazhinji, vaimubatsira nenhumbi dzavo.
And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others, who ministered to him of their substance.
4 Zvino chaunga chikuru chakati chaungana, uye vaibva kuguta ripi neripi vachiuya kwaari, akataura nemufananidzo akati:
And when many people were gathered together, and had come to him out of every city, he spoke 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 way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
6 Uye imwe ikawira paruware; zvino yakamera, ikawoma, nokuti yakashaiwa unyoro.
And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.
7 Neimwe ikawira pakati peminzwa, minzwa ikakura nayo, ikaivhunga.
And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.
8 Uye imwe yakawira muvhu rakanaka, ikamera, ikabereka zvibereko zvinezana. Wakati ataura zvinhu izvi, akadanidzira achiti: Ane nzeve dzekunzwa, ngaanzwe.
And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bore fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
9 Vadzidzi vake ndokumubvunza vachiti: Mufananidzo uyu ungavei?
And his disciples asked him, saying, What doth 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 others in parables; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.
11 Zvino mufananidzo ndiwoyu: Mbeu ishoko raMwari.
Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12 Avo vaparutivi rwenzira ndivo vanonzwa, ipapo dhiabhorosi anouya ndokubvisa shoko pamoyo wavo, kuti varege kutenda, vaponeswe.
Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
13 Nevaparuware ndevaya, vanoti kana vanzwa, vanogamuchira shoko nemufaro; asi ava havana mudzi, vanotenda kwenguva, asi nenguva yemuedzo vanowa.
They on the rock are they, who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
14 Neyakawira paminzwa, ndevaya kana vanzwa, zvino vanoenda ndokuvhungwa nekufunganya nefuma nemafaro eupenyu, vakasasvitsa zvibereko.
And that which fell among thorns are they, who, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
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 in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, 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, when he hath lighted a lamp, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a lampstand, that they who enter in may see the light.
17 Nokuti hakuna chakavanzika, chisingazovi pachena, kana chakavigwa, chisingazozikanwi nekubuda pachena.
For nothing is secret, that shall not become evident; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come 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 whoever hath, to him shall be given; and whoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.
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 to him for the crowd.
20 Akaudzwa nevamwe vakati: Mai venyu nevanin'ina venyu vamire panze, vanoda kukuonai.
And it was told to him by certain who said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand outside, desiring to see thee.
21 Asi wakapindura akati kwavari: Mai vangu nevanin'ina vangu ndeava vanonzwa shoko raMwari vachiriita.
And he answered and said to them, My mother and my brethren are these who hear the word of God, and do it.
22 Zvino zvakaitika nerimwe remazuva kuti wakapinda muchikepe iye nevadzidzi vake, akati kwavari: Ngatiyambukire kune rumwe rutivi rwegungwa; vakasimuka nechikepe.
Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a boat with his disciples: and he said to them, Let us go over to the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.
23 Zvino vakati vachienda nechikepe, akarara hope; kukauya dutu guru remhepo padziva; vakazarirwa nemvura, vakava munjodzi.
But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.
24 Vakaswedera vakamumutsa, vachiti: Tenzi, tenzi, toparara! Ipapo akamuka, akatsiura mhepo nemafungu emvura; zvikaguma, kukava nekudzikama.
And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, 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 being afraid marvelled, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.
26 Zvino vakaenda nechikepe kunyika yeVaGadharini, yakatarisana neGarirea.
And they arrived at the country 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 when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, who had demons a long time, and wore no clothes, neither abode in any 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.
When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech 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 often it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he broke the bands, and was driven by the demon into the wilderness.)
30 Jesu ndokumubvunza achiti: Zita rako ndiani? Akati: Regiyoni; nokuti madhimoni mazhinji akange apinda maari.
And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many demons had entered into him.
And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep. (Abyssos g12)
32 Zvino kwakange kuripo ipapo boka renguruve zhinji dzaifura mugomo; akamukumbirisa kuti amatendere kupinda madziri. Akamatendera.
And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would allow them to enter into them. And he permitted them.
33 Zvino madhimoni akabuda kumunhu, akapinda munguruve; boka ndokupitirikira kumawere richienda kudziva, rikabitirirwa.
Then the demons went out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked.
34 Zvino vaidzifudza vachiona zvaitika, vakatiza, vakaenda kunotaura muguta nemumaruwa.
When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country.
35 Zvino vakabuda kunoona zvaitika; vakasvika kuna Jesu, vakawana munhu, wakange abuda madhimoni maari agere patsoka dzaJesu, akapfeka uye akakwana mupfungwa; vakatya.
Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the demons had departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
36 Vakange vazvionawo vakavaudza kuti akaponeswa sei aiva nemadhimoni.
They also who saw it told them by what means he that was possessed by the demons was healed.
37 Zvino chaunga chese chedunhu rakapoteredza VaGadharini chakakumbirisa kwaari kuti abve kwavari, nokuti vabatwa nekutya kukuru; akapinda muchikepe, akadzokera.
Then the whole multitude of the country of the surrounding region of the Gadarenes besought him to depart from them; for they were seized with great fear: and he went into the boat, and returned back again.
38 Asi murume wakange abuda madhimoni maari, wakakumbirisa kwaari kuti ave naye. Asi Jesu wakamurega achienda, achiti:
Now the man out of whom the demons had departed besought him that he might 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 own house, and show what great things God hath done to thee. And he went away, and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done to him.
40 Zvino zvakaitika kuti pakudzoka kwaJesu, chaunga chakamugamuchira; nokuti vese vakange vakamurindira.
And it came to pass, that, when Jesus had returned, the people gladly received 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 named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at the feet of Jesus, and besought him that he would come into 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 one daughter only, about twelve years of age, and she lay dying. But as he was going the people thronged him.
43 Uye mukadzi, waiva nekubuda ropa kwemakore gumi nemaviri, wakange apedzera zvese zveupenyu hwake kuvarapi, asingagoni kurapwa kwete neumwe.
And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, who had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed by any,
44 Akauya mushure make, akabata mupendero wenguvo yake; pakarepo kubuda kweropa kwake kukaguma.
Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of 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? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
46 Asi Jesu wakati: Aripo wandibata; nokuti ini ndaziva kuti simba rabuda kwandiri.
And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that power hath gone out of 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.
And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared to him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
48 Zvino akati kwaari: Mukunda, tsunga moyo, rutendo rwako rwakuponesa; enda nerugare.
And he said to her, Daughter, be of good comfort: 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.
While he was yet speaking, there cometh one from the house of the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.
50 Asi Jesu wakati achinzwa, akamupindura, achiti: Usatya, tenda chete, uye achaponeswa.
But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made well.
51 Zvino wakati apinda mumba, haana kutendera munhu kupinda, kunze kwaPetro, naJakobho, naJohwani, nababa vemusikana, namai.
And when he came into the house, he allowed no man to go in, except Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden.
52 Uye vese vakachema, vachimuririra. Asi wakati: Musachema, haana kufa, asi arere.
And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.
53 Vakamuseka nekumhura, vachiziva kuti wafa.
And they laughed at him, knowing that she was dead.
54 Asi wakavabudisira vese panze, akamubata ruoko, akadanidzira, achiti: Musikana, muka!
And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.
55 Mweya wake ukadzoka, akamuka pakarepo; akaraira kuti apiwe kudya.
And her spirit came again, and she arose immediately: 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 astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.
