Mako 8

¹Namazuva iwayo zvakwakanga kunavazhinji-zhinji, vakanga vasinazvavangadya akadanira vadzidzi vake kwaari, akati kwavari:In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them,

²Ndinetsitsi navanhu vazhinji, nokuti atova mazuva matatu avakagara neni vasina zvavangadya.I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:

³Kana ndikavaendisa kumusha kwavo vanenzara, vachaziya panzira; vamwe vavo vanobva kure.And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.

⁴Vadzidzi vake vakapindura, vakati kwaaari: Munhu ungawanepiko murenje muno, zvingwa zvingagutisa vanhu ava?And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?

⁵Akavabvunza, akati: Munezvingwa zvinganiko? Vakati: Zvinomwe.And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.

⁶Zvino akaraira vanhu vazhinji kuti vagare pasi, akatora zvingwa zvinomwe, akavonga, akazvimedura, ndokupa vadzidzi vake, kuti vaise pamberi pavo; vakazviisa pamberi pavazhinji.And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people.

⁷Vuye vakanga vanehove duku shomanene; zvino akadziropafadza, akati zviiswe vo pamberi pavo.And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them.

⁸Vakadya, vakaguta, ndokuvunganidza zvimedu zvakasara, matengu manomwe.So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets.

⁹Vanenge vaiva zvuru zvina; akavaendisa.And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.

¹⁰Pakarepo akapinda mugwa navadzidzi vake, akasvika kumativi enyika yeDarmanuta.And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.

¹¹Zvino vaFarise vakabuda, vakatanga kuita nyaya naye, vachitsvaka kwaari chiratidzo chinobva kudenga, vachimuidza.And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.

¹²Akagomera zvikuru pamweya wake, akati: Rudzi urwu runotsvakireiko chiratidzo? Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Rudzi urwu harungapiwi chiratidzo.And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.

¹³Ipapo akavasiya, akapinda zve mugwa, akayambukira mhiri.And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side.

¹⁴Vakanga vakanganwa kutora zvingwa; vakanga vasinezvingwa, asi chimwe bedzi.Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf.

¹⁵Zvino akavaraira, akati: Chenjerai, mutye mbiriso yavaFarise nembiriso yaHerodhe.And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.

¹⁶Vakarangana vakati: Unodaro nokuti hatine zvingwa.And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread.

¹⁷Zvino Jesu wakati achizviziva, akati kwavari: Munorangana nemhaka yeiko kuti hamunezingwa? Hamuzivi, nokunzwisisa here? Moyo yenyu ichiri mikukutu here?And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?

¹⁸Zvamunameso, hamuvoni here? Zvamunenzeve, hamunzwi here? Hamurangariri here?Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?

¹⁹Musi wandakamedurira vanezvuru zvishanu zvingwa zvishanu, makanonga matengu manganiko azere nezvimedu? Vakati kwaari: Gumi namaviri.When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.

²⁰Nomusi wandakamedurira vanezvuru zvina zvingwa zvimwe, makanonga matengu manganiko akazadzwa nezvimedu? Vakati: Manomwe.And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.

²¹Akati kwavari: Ko hamunzwisisi nazvino here?And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?

²²Zvino wakasvika Betsaida; vakavuya nebofu, vakakumbira zvikuru kwaari, kuti amunyangate.And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him.

²³akabata ruvoko rwebofu, akamuisa kunze kwomusha, ndokupfira mate pameso ake, akaisa mavoko pamusoro pake, akamubvunza kana achivona chinhu.And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.

²⁴Iye akatarira, akati: ndinovona vanhu, ndinovavona vachifamba vakafanana nemiti.And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.

²⁵Zvino akaisa zve mavoko pamusoro pameso ake,iye akatarisisa, akaporeswa akavona zvose zvakanaka.After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.

²⁶Akamuendesa kumba kwake akati: usatongopinda mumusha kana kuvudza munhu mumusha.And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town.

²⁷Zvino Jesu navadzidzi vake vakaenda kumisha yeKesaria Firipo; munzira akabvunza vadzidzi vake akati kwavari: Vanhu vanoti ndini aniko?And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am?

²⁸Vakapindura vachiti kwaari: Vamwe vanoti: Johane Mubhabhatidzi; vamwe, Eria, vamwe zve, mumwe wavaporofita.And they answered, John the Baptist: but some say, Elias; and others, One of the prophets.

²⁹Zvino akavabvunza, akati: Ko imi munoti ndini ani? Petro akapindura, akati kwaari: Ndimi Kristu.And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.

³⁰Akavaraira zvikuru kuti varege kuzivisa munhu pamsoro pake.And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.

³¹Zvino akatanga kuvadzidzisa kuti Mwanakomana womunhu unofanira kutambudzika zvizhinji nokurashwa navakuru, navaPirisita vakuru, navanyori, avurawe, amuke zve mazuva matatu apfuvura.And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

³²Akataura shoko iro pachena. Zvino Petro akaenda naye vari voga, akatanga kumuraira.And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.

³³Asi iye wakatendevuka, ndokutarira vadzidzi vake, akaraira Petro akati: Ibva shure kwangu, Satani, nokuti haurangariri zvinhu zvaMwari, asi zvinhu zvavanhu.But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.

³⁴Zvino wakadanira kwaari vanhu va zhinji navadzidzi vake, akati kwavari: Kana munhu achida kuvuya shure kwangu, ngaazvirambe, asimudze muchinjikwa wake, anditevere.And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

³⁵Nokuti aninani unoda kuponesa vupenyu bwake, ucharashikirwa nabwo, asi aninani unorashikirwa novupenyu bwake nokuda kwangu nokweEvhangeri, uchavuponesa.For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it.

³⁶Nokuti munhu uchagobatsirweiko kana awana nyika yose akarashikirwa novupenyu hwake?For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

³⁷Nokuti munhu ucharipeiko kuti adzikinure vupenyu hwake?Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

³⁸Nokuti aninani unonyara pamusoro pamashoko angu parudzi urwu rwovupombwe nokutadza, Mwanakomana womhunhu uchanyara vo pamusoro pake, musi waanovuya nokubwinya kwake naBaba vake navatumwa vatsvene.Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
