Acts 28
1 And after being saved, then they learned that the island was called Malta.
Zvino vakati vapona, ipapo vakaziva kuti chiwi chinonzi Merita.
2 And the foreigners presented uncommon kindness to us, for, having kindled a fire, they received us all because of the present rain, and because of the cold.
Zvino vatorwa vakatiitira unyoro husina kujairika; nokuti vakavesa moto, vakatigamuchira tese, nekuda kwemvura yaitanga uye nekuda kwechando.
3 And Paul having gathered a quantity of sticks, and having placed them on the fire, a viper having come out from the heat, it fastened on his hand.
Zvino Pauro wakati aunganidza svinga rehuni, akaisa pamoto, kwakabuda chiva kubva murudziyira, chikakwinyira paruoko rwake.
4 And when the foreigners saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to each other, Certainly this man is a murderer, whom, though saved from the sea, Justice did not allow to live.
Zvino vatorwa vakati vachiona chikara chakaremberera paruoko rwake, vakataurirana vachiti: Zvirokwazvo munhu uyu imhondi, iye kunyange apukunyuka gungwa, kururama hakumutenderi kurarama.
5 Indeed therefore having shaken off the creature into the fire, he experienced nothing harmful.
Iye ndokuzuzira chikara mumoto, akasambokuvara.
6 But they expected he was going to swell up, or suddenly fall down dead, but when they were long expecting, and seeing nothing amiss happening to him, thinking differently, they declared him to be a god.
Zvino vakatarisira kuti iye achazvimba, kana kuwira pasi pakarepo akafa; asi vakati vatarira nguva refu, vakaona pasina chinhu chisina kujairika chaitika kwaari, vakashandura fungwa dzavo voti iye ndimwari.
7 Now among the things around that place were fields of the chief of the island, named Publius, who, having received us kindly, lodged us three days.
Zvino panharaunda yenzvimbo iyo paiva neminda yemukuru wechiwi wainzi Pubhirio; iye wakatigamuchira akatigarisa zvakanaka mazuva matatu.
8 And it came about for the father of Publius to be laid down, gripped by fever and dysentery, to whom Paul, having entered in, and having prayed, having laid his hands on him, healed him.
Zvino zvakaitika kuti baba vaPubhirio vakange varere vakabatwa nefivhiri nemudumbu weropa; kwavari Pauro kwaakapinda, akanyengetera, akaisa maoko pamusoro pavo, akavaporesa.
9 Therefore when this happened, the others also who had infirmities on the island came and were healed,
Naizvozvo izvi zvakati zvaitika, vamwewo vaiva nezvirwere pachiwi vakaswedera ndokuporeswa;
10 who also honored us with many honorariums. And while putting out to sea, they furnished the things for our necessities.
ivo vakatikudzawo nerukudzo ruzhinji, uye toenda nechikepe, vakakwidza zvinhu zvaidikanwa.
11 And after three months we set out in a ship that wintered at the island, an Alexandrian with The Twin Brothers emblem.
Zvino shure kwemwedzi mitatu takabva nechikepe cheArekizandiria, chakange chagara muchando pachiwi, chaiva nechiratidzo chekuti Dhiosikuri.
12 And after being brought down to Syracuse, we remained there three days,
Zvino tasvika paSirakuse takagara mazuva matatu.
13 from where having made a circuit, we arrived at Rhegium. And after one day, wind from the south having developed, we came a second day to Puteoli,
Tabvapo tikatenderera tikasvika kuRegiomu; zvino shure kwezuva rimwe mhepo yechamhembe ikasimuka, zuva repiri tikasvika muPuteori;
14 where, having found brothers, we were invited to stay with them seven days. And so we went toward Rome.
matakawana hama, tikakumbirwa kugara nadzo mazuva manomwe; saizvozvowo takaenda kuRoma.
15 And from there the brothers, who heard these things about us, came for a meeting with us as far as Appius Forum and The Three Taverns, whom, when Paul saw, having expressed thanks to God, he took courage.
Zvino kubva ipapo hama dzakati dzanzwa nezvedu, dzikabuda kuzotichingamidza kudzamara Apio Foramu nepaDzimba Dzevaeni Nhatu; ivo Pauro vaakati achiona, akavonga Mwari, akatsunga moyo.
16 And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the commandant, but Paul was allowed to dwell by himself with the soldier who guarded him.
Zvino takati tasvika kuRoma, mukuru wezana akakumikidza vasungwa kumutungamiriri wevarindi; asi Pauro wakatenderwa kugara ari ega, nemuuto anomurinda.
17 And it came to pass after three days, for Paul to call together those who were the principle men of the Jews. And when they came together, he said to them, Men, brothers, I, having done nothing against the people, or the paternal customs, I was delivered a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans,
Zvino zvikaitika shure kwemazuva matatu, kuti Pauro wakadanira vaiva vakuru veVaJudha pamwe; zvino vakati vaungana, akati kwavari: Varume hama, ini ndisina kuita chinhu chinopesana nerudzi kana tsika dzemadzibaba, ndiri musungwa ndabva kuJerusarema ndakumikidzwa pamaoko eVaRoma;
18 who, after examining me, wanted to release me, because there was not one cause of death in me.
ivo vakati vandiongorora vakada kundisunungura, nokuti pakange pasina chikonzero cherufu kwandiri.
19 But when the Jews spoke against it, I was compelled to appeal Caesar, not as having anything to accuse my nation.
Asi VaJudha vakaramba, ndikarovererwa kuikwidza kuna Kesari, kwete kuti ndaiva nechinhu chekumhan'arira rudzi rwangu.
20 Because of this reason therefore I summoned you to see and to speak with me, for because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.
Naizvozvo nekuda kwechikonzero ichi ndakudanai kuti ndikuonei, nditaure nemwi; nokuti ndakamoneredzwa neketani iyi nekuda kwetariro yaIsraeri.
21 And they said to him, We neither received letters from Judea about thee, nor did any of the brothers who came report or speak anything bad about thee.
Zvino vakati kwaari: Isu hatina kugamuchira tsamba kubva kuJudhiya pamusoro pako, uye hakuna umwe wehama, wakati asvika, akatipira kana kutaura chinhu chakaipa pamusoro pako.
22 But we think it worthy to hear from thee what thou think. For indeed about this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against.
Asi tinoda kunzwa newe zvaunofunga; nokuti maererano nebato iri tinoziva kuti rinopikiswa kwese-kwese.
23 And having appointed a day for him, more came to him into his lodging, to whom he expounded, solemnly testifying the kingdom of God, and persuading them of the things about Jesus, both from the law of Moses and the prophets, from morning until evening.
Zvino vakati vamutarira zuva, vazhinji vakauya kwaari kuimba yevaenzi; akavadudzira achivapupurira ushe hwaMwari, akavagombedzera zviri maererano naJesu, zvese kubva pamurairo waMozisi nevaporofita, kubva mangwanani kusvikira madekwani.
24 And some were convinced by the things that were spoken, and some disbelieved.
Zvino vamwe vakatenda zvinhu zvakataurwa, asi vamwe vakasatenda.
25 And being discord among each other, they departed after Paul spoke one thing, saying, Well spoke the Holy Spirit through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers,
Zvino zvavakange vasingawirirani pachavo, vakaenda, Pauro ataura shoko rimwe chete rekuti: Mweya Mutsvene wakataura zvakanaka naIsaya muporofita kumadzibaba edu,
26 saying, Go thou to this people, and say, Hearing ye will hear, and will, no, not understand, and seeing ye will see, and will, no, not perceive.
achiti: Enda kurudzi urwu ugoti: Nekunzwa muchanzwa, uye hamungatongonzwisisi; nekuona muchaona, uye hamungatongoonesesi.
27 For this people's heart was made fat, and they hear heavily with the ears. And they shut their eyes, lest they may perceive with the eyes, and hear with the ears, and understand with the heart, and should turn, and I would heal them.
Nokuti moyo wevanhu ava wakasindimadzwa, uye nenzeve vanonzwa nemutsutsururu, nemeso avo vakavhara; kuti zvimwe vangaona nemeso, nekunzwa nenzeve, nekunzwisisa nemoyo, zvino vatendeuke, ndigovaporesa.
28 Be it known to you therefore, that the salvation of God was sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear.
Naizvozvo ngazvizikanwe kwamuri, kuti ruponeso rwaMwari rwunotumirwa kuvahedheni, ivo vachanzwawo.
29 And when he said these things, the Jews departed, having much disputing among themselves.
Zvino wakati ataura zvinhu izvi, VaJudha vakaenda, vachiita nharo huru pakati pavo.
30 And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired lodging. And he received all who came in to him,
Pauro akagara makore maviri agere muimba yake pachake yaairipira mari, uye akagamuchira vese vaipinda kwaari,
31 preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching the things about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, without hindrance.
achiparidza ushe hwaMwari, nekudzidzisa zviri maererano naIshe Jesu Kristu, neushingi hwese, pasina kudziviswa.
