Mateo 4
1 Zvino Jesu wakatungamirirwa neMweya kurenje kuti anoidzwa nadhiabhorosi.
Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
2 Zvino wakati atsanya mazuva makumi mana neusiku makumi mana, akazonzwa nzara.
And having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward he was hungry.
3 Zvino muidzi wakati auya kwaari, akati: Kana uri Mwanakomana waMwari, raira kuti mabwe awa aite zvingwa.
And after he who tempts came, he said to him, If thou are the Son of God, speak so that these stones may become bread.
4 Asi iye wakapindura akati: Kwakanyorwa kuchinzi: Munhu haangararami nechingwa chega, asi neshoko rimwe nerimwe rinobuda mumuromo maMwari.
But having answered, he said, It is written, Man will not live on bread alone, but on every word coming out through the mouth of God.
5 Zvino dhiabhorosi wakamutora akamuisa muguta dzvene, akamumisa pachiruvu chetembere,
Then the devil takes him into the holy city, and stands him on the pinnacle of the temple.
6 ndokuti kwaari: Kana uri Mwanakomana waMwari, zvikandire pasi; nokuti kwakanyorwa kuti: Iye acharaira vatumwa vake pamusoro pako, uye pamaoko vachakugamha, zvimwe ungagumbusa rutsoka rwako pabwe.
And he says to him, If thou are the Son of God, cast thyself down, for it is written, He will command his agents about thee, and, They will take thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
7 Jesu akati kwaari: Kwakanyorwa zvekare: Usaidza Ishe Mwari wako.
Jesus said to him, Again it is written, Thou shall not challenge the Lord thy God.
8 Dhiabhorosi akamuisazve pagomo refusa, akamuratidza ushe hwese hwenyika nekubwinya kwahwo.
Again, the devil takes him onto an exceedingly high mountain, and shows him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them.
9 Akati kwaari: Zvese zvinhu izvi ndichapa kwauri kana ukawira pasi ukandinamata.
And he says to him, All these things I give thee, if after falling down, thou will worship me.
10 Ipapo Jesu akati kwaari: Ibva, Satani, nokuti kwakanyorwa kuchinzi: Uchanamata Ishe Mwari wako, uchashumira iye oga.
Then Jesus says to him, Get thee behind me, Satan, for it is written, Thou shall worship the Lord thy God, and him only thou shall serve.
11 Ipapo dhiabhorosi akamusiya; zvino tarira, vatumwa vakauya vakamushandira.
Then the devil leaves him, and behold, agents came and served him.
12 Zvino Jesu wakati anzwa kuti Johwani wakumikidzwa mutirongo, akabva akaenda Garirea.
Now when Jesus heard that John was delivered up, he departed into Galilee.
13 Zvino wakabva Nazareta, akauya akagara muKapenaume riri pagungwa, mumiganhu yeZebhuruni neNafitarimi;
And having left Nazareth behind, after coming, he dwelt in Capernaum by the sea in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali,
14 kuti zvizadziswe zvakarehwa naIsaya muporofita, achiti:
so that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which says,
15 Nyika yeZebhuruni nenyika yeNefitarimi, panzira yegungwa, mhiri kwaJoridhani, Garirea revahedheni;
The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,
16 vanhu vakange vagere murima vakaona chiedza chikuru; nevakange vagere panharaunda nemumumvuri werufu, chiedza chakabudira kwavari.
the people who dwell in darkness saw a great light, and to those who dwell in the region and shadow of death, light sprang up to them.
17 Kubvira panguva iyo Jesu wakatanga kuparidza nokuti: Tendeukai, nokuti ushe hwekumatenga hwaswedera.
From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent ye, for the kingdom of the heavens has approached.
18 Zvino Jesu wakati achifamba-famba parutivi rwegungwa reGarirea akaona vanakomana vemunhu umwe vaviri, Simoni anonzi Petro, naAndiriya munin'ina wake, vachikandira mumbure mugungwa; nokuti vakange vari varedzi.
And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
19 Akati kwavari: Nditeverei, ndigokuitai varedzi vevanhu.
And he says to them, Come behind me, and I will make you fishermen of men.
20 Pakarepo vakasiya mimbure vakamutevera.
And straightaway having left the nets, they followed him.
21 Zvino wakati apfuurira kubva ipapo akaona vamwe vaviri vanakomana vemunhu umwe, Jakobho waZebhedhi naJohwani munin'ina wake muchikepe pamwe naZebhedhi baba vavo, vachigadzira mimbure yavo, akavadana.
And having gone on from there he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. And he called them.
22 Pakarepo vakasiya chikepe nababa vavo vakamutevera.
And straightaway having left the boat and their father, they followed him.
23 Jesu akapota neGarirea rese achidzidzisa mumasinagoge avo, nekuparidza evhangeri yeushe, achiporesa denda rega-rega neurwere hwega-hwega pavanhu.
And Jesus went around all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
24 Shoko rake rikabudira kuSiriya yese; vakauisa kwaari varwere vese, vakabatwa nehosha dzakasiyana-siyana, nemarwadzo, nevakange vane madhimoni, nevaiva nezvipusha, nevakange vakafa mitezo; akavaporesa.
And his fame went forth into all Syria. And they brought to him all those faring badly with various diseases, and gripped with pain, and being demon-possessed, and being lunatic, and paralyzed. And he healed them.
25 Zvino zvaunga zvikuru zvakamutevera, vaibva Garirea, neDhekapori, neJerusarema, neJudhiya, nemhiri kwaJoridhani.
And many multitudes from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judea and beyond the Jordan followed him.
