Acts 1
1 I indeed made the former treatise, O Theophilus, about all things that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
Rondedzero yekutanga ndakaiita, haiwa Teofiro, pamusoro pezvese Jesu zvaakatanga kuita uyewo kudzidzisa,
2 until a day in which he was taken up, having commanded, through the Holy Spirit, the apostles whom he chose,
kusvikira zuva raakakwidzwa, amboraira neMweya Mutsvene kuvaapositori vaakange asarudza;
3 to whom he also presented himself living, after his suffering, by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days, and speaking the things about the kingdom of God.
vaakazviratidzawo kwavari ari mupenyu shure kwekutambudzika kwake neuchapupu uzhinji hunopwisa, achionekwa navo kwemazuva makumi mana, achitaura zvinhu zveushe hwaMwari.
4 And being assembled together, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, Which, he said, ye heard from me.
Zvino aungana navo, akavaraira kuti varege kubva muJerusarema asi vamirire chivimbiso chaBaba, chamakanzwa neni;
5 Because John indeed immersed in water, but ye will be immersed in the Holy Spirit after not many of these days.
nokuti Johwani zvirokwazvo wakabhabhatidza nemvura, asi imwi muchabhabhatidzwa neMweya Mutsvene pasina mazuva mazhinji kubva ikozvino.
6 Indeed therefore having come together, they questioned him, saying, Lord, do thou restore the kingdom to Israel at this time?
Naizvozvo ivo vakati vaungana vakamubvunza vachiti: Ishe, muchadzosera ushe kuna Israeri nenguva ino here?
7 And he said to them, It is not for you to know times or seasons, which the Father established in his own authority.
Zvino akati kwavari: Hazvisi zvenyu kuziva nguva kana misi Baba yavakatara nesimba ravo pachavo;
8 But ye will receive the power of the Holy Spirit that comes upon you. And ye will be witnesses to me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and as far as of the extremity of the earth.
asi muchagamuchira simba, Mweya Mutsvene asvika pamusoro penyu; uye muchava zvapupu zvangu zvese paJerusarema nemuJudhiya mese nemuSamaria, kusvikirawo kumugumo wenyika.
9 And having said these things, as they were watching, he was taken up, and a cloud received him from their eyes.
Zvino wakati areva zvinhu izvi, akakwidzwa vakatarira, negore rikamubvisa pameso avo.
10 And while they were gazing at his going into the sky, behold, two men had also stood by them in white apparel,
Zvino vachakatarisisa kudenga, achikwira, zvino tarira, varume vaviri vakamira navo nenguvo chena;
11 who also said, Men, Galileans, why stand ye gazing into the sky? This Jesus who was taken up from you into the sky will so come, in that same way as ye saw him going into the sky.
ivowo vakati: Varume veGarirea, makamirirei makatarisisa kudenga? Iyeyu Jesu, anobviswa kwamuri achikwidzwa kudenga, achauya saizvozvo sezvamunomuona achienda kudenga.
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem having a sabbath day journey.
Zvino vakadzokera kuJerusarema vachibva pagomo rinonzi reMiorivhi riri pedo neJerusarema, chinhambwe cherwendo rwesabata.
13 And when they came in, they went up into the upper floor where they were lodging, including, Peter and James and John and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James.
Vakati vapinda, vakakwira mukamuri yepamusoro apo paigara vese Petro naJakobho naJohwani naAndiriya, Firipi naTomasi, Bhatironomiyo naMatewu, Jakobho waArifio naSimoni muZiroti, naJudhasi waJakobho.
14 All these men were continuing with one accord in prayer and supplication, with women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
Ava vese vakatsungirira nemoyo umwe mumunyengetero nemukumbiro, pamwe nevakadzi, naMaria mai vaJesu, uye nevanin'ina vake.
15 And in those days, Peter, having stood up in the midst of the disciples (and there was a multitude of names at the same place, about a hundred twenty), he said,
Zvino mumazuva iwayo Petro wakasimuka pakati pevadzidzi akati (kwaiva nechaunga nevanhu pamwe vanenge zana nemakumi maviri):
16 Men, brothers, it was necessary for this scripture to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit foretold through the mouth of David about Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus,
Varume hama, zvakafanira kuti rugwaro urwu rwuzadziswe, Mweya Mutsvene zvawakagara wataura nemuromo waDhavhidhi pamusoro paJudhasi, wakange ari mutungamiriri wevaya vakabata Jesu,
17 because he was numbered with us, and received a share of this ministry.
nokuti wakange achiverengwa pamwe nesu, akagamuchira mugove weushumiri uhu.
18 (Indeed therefore this man obtained a field from the reward of his unrighteousness, and having become headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his bowels gushed out.
Zvino uyu wakawana munda nemubairo wezvakaipa, akawa nemusoro, akaparuka nepakati, ura hwake hwese hukabvajukira kunze.
19 And it became known to all those dwelling at Jerusalem, so as to call that field in their own dialect, Akeldama, that is, The field of blood.)
Zvikanzwikwa kuvagari vese paJerusarema, zvekuti munda uyo watumidzwa nerurimi rwavo pachavo kuti Akeridhama, ndiko kuti: Munda weropa.
20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation become desolate, and let no man be dwelling in it, and, Let another take his office.
Nokuti zvakanyorwa mubhuku reMapisarema zvichinzi: Musha wake ngauve dongo, uye kurege kuva neanogara mauri; uye: Utariri hwake, umwe ngaatore.
21 It is necessary therefore, of the men who accompanied us during all the time during which the Lord Jesus went in and went out among us,
Naizvozvo zvakafanira pavarume ava vaifamba nesu munguva yese, apo Ishe Jesu aipinda nekubuda pakati pedu,
22 having begun from the immersion of John to the day that he was taken up from us, for one of these to become a witness with us of his resurrection.
kutanga parubhabhatidzo rwaJohwani, kusvikira pazuva raakwidzwa kubva kwatiri, umwe wavo ngaave chapupu pamwe nesu chekumuka kwake.
23 And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
Zvino vakamisa vaviri: Josefa wainzi Bharisabhasi, wakatumidzwawo Jusito, naMatiasi.
24 And having prayed, they said, Thou, Lord, knowing the hearts of all men, show which one of these two thou have chosen
Vakanyengetera vachiti: Imwi Ishe, imwi muzivi wemoyo yevese, taridzai umwe pavaviri ava wamasarudza,
25 to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas transgressed to go to his own place.
kugamuchira mugove paushumiri nevuapositori, Judhasi hwaakatsauka pahuri, kuti aende panzvimbo yake pachake.
26 And they gave their lots, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Zvino vakavapa mijenya yavo, mujenya ukawira pana Matiasi; akaverengwa pamwe nevaapositori vanegumi neumwe.
