Acts 15
1 Some men came down from Judea and taught the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised after the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.”
Zvino vamwe vakaburuka kubva kuJudhiya, vakadzidzisa hama kuti: Kana musingadzingiswi netsika yaMozisi, hamugoni kuponeswa.
2 Therefore when Paul and Barnabas had no small discord and discussion with them, they appointed Paul, Barnabas, and some others of them to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question.
Naizvozvo, kwakati kwava nekupesana nekupikisana kusati kuri kudiki kwaPauro naBhanabhasi navo, vakaronga kuti Pauro naBhanabhasi nevamwezve vavo vakwire kuJerusarema kuvaapositori nevakuru, pamusoro peshoko iri.
3 They, being sent on their way by the assembly, passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles. They caused great joy to all the brothers.
Naizvozvo vakati vachiperekedzwa nekereke, vakagura neFenike neSamaria, vachirondedzera zvekutendeuka kwevahedheni; vakaitira hama dzese mufaro mukuru.
4 When they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly and the apostles and the elders, and they reported everything that God had done with them.
Zvino vakati vasvika kuJerusarema, vakagamuchirwa nekereke nevaapositori nevakuru, vakarondedzera zvese Mwari zvaakaita navo.
5 But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, “It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.”
Asi kwakamuka vamwe vebato reVaFarisi vaitenda, vachiti: Zvinofanira kuvadzingisa, nekuvaraira kuchengeta murairo waMozisi.
6 The apostles and the elders were gathered together to see about this matter.
Vaapositori nevakuru vakaungana pamwe kuti vaongorore zveshoko iri.
7 When there had been much discussion, Peter rose up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that a good while ago God made a choice among you that by my mouth the nations should hear the word of the Good News and believe.
Zvino kwakava nekukakavadzana kukuru, Petro wakasimuka akati kwavari: Varume hama, imwi munoziva kuti kubva pamazuva akare Mwari wakasarudza pakati pedu, kuti nemuromo wangu vahedheni vanzwe shoko reevhangeri, uye vatende.
8 God, who knows the heart, testified about them, giving them the Holy Spirit, just like he did to us.
Uye Mwari muzivi wemoyo wakapupura kwavari, achivapa Mweya Mutsvene, sekwatiriwo;
9 He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.
uye haana kuisa mutsauko pakati pedu navo, achichenura moyo yavo nerutendo.
10 Now therefore why do you tempt God, that you should put a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
Naizvozvo ikozvino munoidzirei Mwari, kuisa joko pamutsipa wevadzidzi, ratisina kugona kutakura kana madzibaba edu kana isu?
11 But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they are.”
Asi nenyasha dzaIshe Jesu Kristu tinotenda kuti tinoponeswa, nenzira imwe savowo.
12 All the multitude kept silence, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul reporting what signs and wonders God had done among the nations through them.
Chaunga chese ndokunyarara; ndokuteerera Bhanabhasi naPauro vachirondedzera kuti zvikuru sei zviratidzo nezvishamiso Mwari zvaakaita navo pakati pevahedheni.
13 After they were silent, James answered, “Brothers, listen to me.
Zvino ivo vakati vanyarara, Jakobho akapindura achiti: Varume hama, nditeererei:
14 Simeon has reported how God first visited the nations to take out of them a people for his name.
Simioni warondedzera kuti Mwari wakashanyira vahedheni sei pakutanga kuti atorere zita rake vanhu kwavari.
15 This agrees with the words of the prophets. As it is written,
Nemashoko evaporofita anobvumirana neizvi, sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi:
16 ‘After these things I will return. I will again build the tabernacle of David, which has fallen. I will again build its ruins. I will set it up
Shure kweizvi ndichadzoka, uye ndichavakazve tabhenakeri yaDhavhidhi yakawa; uye ndichavakazve matongo aro, uye ndicharimisazve;
17 that the rest of men may seek after the Lord: all the Gentiles who are called by my name, says the Lord, who does all these things.’
kuti vakasara vevanhu vatsvake Ishe, nevechirudzi vese, pavanodanwa nezita rangu, ndizvo zvinoreva Ishe anoita zvinhu izvi zvese.
Anozikanwa kuna Mwari mabasa ake ese kubva pakusingaperi. (aiōn g165)
19 Therefore my judgment is that we do not trouble those from among the Gentiles who turn to God,
Naizvozvi ini ndinogura kuti tirege kutambudza vakabva kuvahedheni vakatendeukira kuna Mwari;
20 but that we write to them that they abstain from the pollution of idols, from sexual immorality, from what is strangled, and from blood.
asi tivanyorere kuti vabve pazvakashatiswa zvezvifananidzo neupombwe nezvakadzipwa neropa.
21 For Moses from generations of old has in every city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”
Nokuti Mozisi anavo kubva pamazera akare vanomuparidza paguta rimwe nerimwe, achiverengwa mumasinagoge sabata rimwe nerimwe.
22 Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas: Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brothers.
Ipapo zvikaonekwa zvakanaka kuvaapositori nevakuru vane kereke yese, kuti vatume varume vakasarudzwa pakati pavo kuAndiyokiya pamwe naPauro naBhanabhasi: Judhasi wainzi Bharisabhasi, naSirasi, varume vatungamiriri pakati pehama,
23 They wrote these things by their hand: “The apostles, the elders, and the brothers, to the brothers who are of the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: greetings.
vakanyora seizvi neruoko rwavo: Vaapositori nevakuru nehama, kuhama dzekuvahedheni paAndiyokiya neSiriya neKirikia, kwaziwai;
24 Because we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, saying, ‘You must be circumcised and keep the law,’ to whom we gave no commandment;
sezvatakanzwa kuti vamwe vakabuda kwatiri vakakutambudzai nemashoko, vachikanganisa mweya yenyu, vachiti mudzingiswe nekuchengeta murairo, ivo vatisina kuraira;
25 it seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
zvaonekwa zvakanaka kwatiri tava nemoyo umwe, kutuma kwamuri varume vakasarudzwa, pamwe nevadikanwi vedu Bhanabhasi naPauro,
26 men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
vanhu vakazvipira upenyu hwavo nekuda kwezita raIshe wedu Jesu Kristu.
27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves will also tell you the same things by word of mouth.
Naizvozvo tatuma Judhasi naSirasi, ivo vachataurawo zvimwe chete neshoko remuromo.
28 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you than these necessary things:
Nokuti zvakaonekwa zvakanaka kuMweya Mutsvene, nekwatiri, kuti tirege kuchikutakudzai mutoro mukuru, kunze kwezvinhu izvi zvakafanira:
29 that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality, from which if you keep yourselves, it will be well with you. Farewell.”
Kuti mubve pazvakabairwa zvifananidzo neropa nechakadzipwa neupombwe; kana mukazvisunungura pazviri, muchaita zvakanaka. Sarai zvakanaka.
30 So, when they were sent off, they came to Antioch. Having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.
Zvino vakati vaendeswa vakasvika kuAndiyokiya; vakati vaunganidza chaunga, vakakumikidza tsamba.
31 When they had read it, they rejoiced over the encouragement.
Zvino vakati vaverenga, vakafara pamusoro pekukurudzirwa.
32 Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged the brothers with many words and strengthened them.
Judhasiwo naSirasi, vaiva vaporofitawo pachavo, vakakurudzira hama nenhaurwa zhinji, nekuvasimbisa.
33 After they had spent some time there, they were dismissed in peace from the brothers to the apostles.
Vakati vagara kwenguva, vakaendeswa nehama murugare kuvaapositori,
asi zvakaonekwa zvakanaka kuna Sirasi kuti asarepo.
35 But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
Paurowo naBhanabhasi vakasara muAndiyokiya vachidzidzisa nekuparidza shoko raIshe, nevamwewo vazhinji.
36 After some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let’s return now and visit our brothers in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, to see how they are doing.”
Zvino shure kwemamwe mazuva Pauro wakati kuna Bhanabhasi: Ngatidzokere ikozvino tishanyire hama dzedu muguta rimwe nerimwe, matakaparidza shoko raIshe, tione kuti vakadini.
37 Barnabas planned to take John, who was called Mark, with them also.
Zvino Bhanabhasi wakange aronga kutora Johwani wainzi Mariko, kuti afambe navo.
38 But Paul did not think that it was a good idea to take with them someone who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia, and did not go with them to do the work.
Asi Pauro wakafunga kuti zvakanaka kusamutora afambe navo uyu wakavasiya kubva paPamufiriya, akasaenda navo kubasa.
39 Then the contention grew so sharp that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus,
Zvino kwakauya kukakavadzana kukuru, zvekuti vakaparadzana, umwe kubva kune umwe; Bhanabhasi ndokutora Mariko kufamba naye, akaenda kuSaipuresi nechikepe;
40 but Paul chose Silas and went out, being commended by the brothers to the grace of God.
asi Pauro wakasarudza Sirasi akabuda akaenda, akumikidzwa nehama panyasha dzaMwari.
41 He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the assemblies.
Ndokugura neSiriya neKirikia, achisimbisa makereke.
