Mateu 8

¹(Mar. 1. 40-45; Ruka 5:12-14.) Wakati aburuka pagomo, vanhu vazhinji-zhinji vakamutevera.When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.

²Tarira munhu unamaperembudzi akavuya kwaari, akamunamata akati, Ishe kana muchida munogona kundinatsa.And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

³Jesu wakatambanudza ruvoko rwake, akamubata akati, ndinoda chinatswa! Pakarepo maperembudzi ake akanatswa.And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

⁴Jesu akati kwaari, tarira usavudza munhu asi enda uzviratidze kumuPirisita, ubayire chipo chakarairwa naMosesi chive chapupu kwavari. (Ruka 7. 1-10.)And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

⁵Jesu wakati apinda Kapenaume, mumwe mukuru wezana akavuya kwaari. Akakumbira zvikuru kwaari,And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,

⁶achiti Ishe muranda wangu avete kumba, akafa mitezo asi unotambudzika kwazvo.And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.

⁷Jesu akati kwaari, ndichavuya kuzomuporesa.And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.

⁸Mukuru wezana akapindura akati Ishe, handina kufanira kuti mupinde mumba mangu asi taurai henyu shoko rimwe chete muranda wangu uchapora.The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.

⁹Nokuti nenivo ndiri munhu unorairwa, ndina varwi pasi pangu. Ndinoti kuno mumwe, enda, unoenda. Kunomumwe vuya, unovuya. Nokumuranda wangu ita chichi unoita.For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

¹⁰Jesu wakati achinzwa izvozvo, akashamiswa akati kuna vakanga vachitevera, zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri, handina kumbovona kutenda kwakadai kunyangwe napakati paIsraeri.When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

¹¹Ndinoti kwamuri vazhinji vachavuya vachibva kumabvazuva nokumavirira, vachagara naAbhurahamu naIsaka naJakobho muvushe hwokudenga.And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.

¹²Asi vanakomana vovushe vachabudiswa kurima rokunze, apo pachava nokuchema nokugeda-geda kwameno.But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

¹³Zvino Jesu akati kumukuru wezana, enda uitirwe pawakatenda napo. Muranda wake akapora nenguva iyo. (Mar. 1. 29-34; Ruka 4. 38-41.)And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.

¹⁴Jesu, wakati achipinda mumba maPetro, akavona mai vomukadzi wake vavete vachinzwa fivhiri.And when Jesus was come into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother laid, and sick of a fever.

¹⁵Akabata ruvoko rwavo, fivhiri ikabva kwavari. Vakasimuka vakavashandira.And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.

¹⁶Ava madekwana vakavuya kwaari navazhinji vaiva nemweya yakaipa. Akabudisa mweya neshoko. Akaporesa vose vairwara.When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:

¹⁷Kuti zviitike zvakarehwa nomuporofita Isaya achiti, iye wakatora vutera hwedu, akatakura marwere edu. (Ruka 9.57-62.)That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

¹⁸Jesu wakati achivona vanhu vazhinji vakamukomba, akaraira kuti vayambukire mhiri.Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side.

¹⁹Zvino mumwe munyori akavuya kwaari akati, Mudzidzisi ndichakuteverai kwose kwamunoenda.And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

²⁰Jesu akati kwaari, mhungubwe dzine mwena neshiri dzokudenga dzina matendere asi Mwawnakomana womunhu haana paangatsamhidza musoro wake.And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

²¹Mumwe wavadzidzi akati kwaari, Ishe nditenderei henyu ndimbonoviga baba vangu.And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.

²²Asi Jesu wakati kwaari, nditevere, rega vakafa vavige vakafa vavo. (Mar 4. 35-41, Ruka 8. 22-25)But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.

²³Wakati apinda mugwa, vadzidzi vake vakamutevera.And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.

²⁴Ipapo dutu guru remhepo rikamuka mugungwa nokudaro igwa rakafukidzwa namafungu. Asi Iye wakanga avete.And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.

²⁵Zvino vadzidzi vake vakavuya, vakamumutsa, vakati, Ishe tiponesei tofa!And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.

²⁶Akati kwavari, Munotyireiko imi vokutenda kushoma? Zvino akamuka, akaraira mitutu negungwa. Kudzikama kukuru kukavapo.And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

²⁷Vanhu vakashamiswa vakati, uyu munhu kunyi zvaanoteererwa nemitutu negungwa? (Mar 5. 1-20, Ruka 8. 26-39)But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!

²⁸Wakati asvika mhiri kunyika yavaGadara, vanhu vaviri vaiva nemweya yakaipa vakasongana naye, vachibva kumarinda. Vakanga vane hasha kwazvo-kwazvo. Naizvozvo kwakanga kusina munhu waigona kupfuvura nenzira iyo.And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.

²⁹Zvino vakadanidzira vachiti, tine mhaka yeiko nemi Jesu Mwanakomana waMwari? Mavuya pano kuzotirwadzisa, nguva isati yasvika here?And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?

³⁰Kwakanga kuneboka guru renguruve dzakanga dzichifura kure navo.And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.

³¹Mweya yakaipa ikakumbira zvikuru kwaari, ichiti kana muchitibudisa, titenderei kuti tiende muboka renguruve.So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.

³²Akati kwairi, endai. Ikabuda, ikapinda munguruve. Boka rose rikamhanyira kumawere kugungwa, dzikafira mumvura.And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.

³³Ipapo vaidzifudza vakatiza. Vakaenda kuguta. Vakataura zvose nezvakaitirwa vakanga vane mweya yakaipa.And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils.

³⁴Zvino guta rose rikabuda kundosongana naJesu. Vakati vachimuvona, vakakumbira zvikuru kwaari kuti abve munyika yavo.And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their coasts.
