Acts 10
1 At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was called the Italian Regiment.
Kwakange kune umwewo murume muKesariya wainzi Koneriyo, mukuru wezana wehondo yainzi yeItaria,
2 He and all his household were devout and God-fearing. He gave generously to the people and prayed to God regularly.
wakazvipira uye anotya Mwari pamwe neimba yake yese, waiita mabasa erudo mazhinji kuvanhu, nekunyengetera kuna Mwari nguva yese;
3 One day at about the ninth hour, he had a clear vision of an angel of God who came to him and said, “Cornelius!”
akaona muchiratidzo pachena, neawa rinenge repfumbamwe rezuva, mutumwa waMwari achipinda kwaari, achiti kwaari: Koneriyo!
4 Cornelius stared at him in fear and asked, “What is it, Lord?” The angel answered, “Your prayers and gifts to the poor have ascended as a memorial offering before God.
Zvino wakati amutarisisa akatya, akati: Chii, Ishe? Zvino akati kwaari: Minyengetero yako nemabasa ako erudo zvakwira kuva chirangaridzo pamberi paMwari.
5 Now send men to Joppa to call for a man named Simon who is called Peter.
Zvino ikozvino tuma varume kuJopa, udane Simoni anonzi Petro;
6 He is staying with Simon the tanner, whose house is by the sea.”
anogara neumwe Simoni musuki wematehwe, imba yake iri parutivi rwegungwa; iye achakuudza zvaunofanira kuita.
7 When the angel who spoke to him had gone, Cornelius called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among his attendants.
Zvino mutumwa wakange ataura naKoneriyo wakati abva, wakadana vaviri vevaranda vake vemumba nemurwi wakatendeka pane vaimumirira nguva dzese,
8 He explained what had happened and sent them to Joppa.
zvino wakati arondedzera zvinhu zvese kwavari, akavatuma kuJopa.
9 The next day at about the sixth hour, as the men were approaching the city on their journey, Peter went up on the roof to pray.
Zvino chifume ivo vachiri kufamba voswedera muguta, Petro wakakwira pamusoro pedenga reimba kunonyengetera, neawa rinenge rechitanhatu.
10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat, but while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.
Akava nenzara kwazvo, akashuva kudya; asi ivo vakati vachagadzirira, chiyeverwa chikamuwira;
11 He saw heaven open and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners.
ndokuona denga rakazaruka, neumwe mudziyo uchiburukira kwaari, semucheka mukuru, wakasungwa makona mana uchiburusirwa pasi.
12 It contained all kinds of four-footed animals and reptiles of the earth, as well as birds of the air.
Maiva nemhuka dzese dzemakumbo mana dzenyika nemhuka dzesango nezvinokambaira neshiri dzedenga.
13 Then a voice said to him: “Get up, Peter, kill and eat!”
Zvino inzwi rikauya kwaari richiti: Simuka, Petro, baya udye.
14 “No, Lord!” Peter answered. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.”
Asi Petro wakati: Aiwa kwete, Ishe; nokuti handina kutongodya chero chinhu chisakachena kana chine tsvina.
15 The voice spoke to him a second time: “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.”
Zvino inzwi rikauyazve kwaari rwechipiri richiti: Mwari chaanatsa, iwe usati chakasviba.
16 This happened three times, and all at once the sheet was taken back up into heaven.
Zvino izvi zvakaitwa kusvikira katatu; mudziyo ndokukwidzwazve kudenga.
17 While Peter was puzzling over the meaning of the vision, the men sent by Cornelius found Simon’s house and approached the gate.
Zvino Petro wakati achakashamiswa maari kuti chiratidzo chaakange aona chairevei, zvino tarira, varume vakange vatumwa kubva kuna Koneriyo, vabvunza imba yaSimoni, vakamira pasuwo,
18 They called out to ask if Simon called Peter was staying there.
vakadanidzira vachibvunza kana Simoni, anonzi Petro achigarapo.
19 As Peter continued to reflect on the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men are looking for you.
Zvino Petro achafunga nezvechiratidzo, Mweya wakati kwaari: Tarira, varume vatatu vanokutsvaka.
20 So get up! Go downstairs and accompany them without hesitation, because I have sent them.”
Naizvozvo simuka uburuke, uende navo usiri asina chokwadi nechinhu; nokuti ndini ndavatuma.
21 So Peter went down to the men and said, “Here am I, the one you are looking for. Why have you come?”
Petro ndokuburukira kuvarume vakange vatumwa kwaari kubva kuna Koneriyo, akati: Tarirai, ndini wamunotsvaka; chikonzeroi chamauyira?
22 “Cornelius the centurion has sent us,” they said. “He is a righteous and God-fearing man with a good reputation among the whole Jewish nation. A holy angel instructed him to request your presence in his home so he could hear a message from you.”
Zvino vakati: Koneriyo mukuru wezana, murume wakarurama neanotya Mwari, anopupurirwa nerudzi rwese rweVaJudha, wakayambirwa naMwari nemutumwa mutsvene kuti akudanirei kumba kwake, uye kuti anzwe mashoko kwamuri.
23 So Peter invited them in as his guests. And the next day he got ready and went with them, accompanied by some of the brothers from Joppa.
Ipapo akavadanira mukati, akavagarisapo. Zvino chifume Petro wakabuda akaenda navo, nedzimwe dzehama dzaibva paJopa dzikamuperekedza.
24 The following day he arrived in Caesarea, where Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends.
Zvino chifume vapinda Kesariya. NaKoneriyo wakange akavamirira, uye akadanira pamwe chete hama dzake neshamwari dzepedo.
25 As Peter was about to enter, Cornelius met him and fell at his feet to worship him.
Zvino zvakaitika kuti Petro apinda, Koneriyo akamuchingamidza, akawira patsoka dzake, akamunamata.
26 But Peter helped him up. “Stand up,” he said, “I am only a man myself.”
Asi Petro wakamusimudza, achiti: Simuka; ini pachangu ndiri munhuwo.
27 As Peter talked with him, he went inside and found many people gathered together.
Zvino wakati achataura naye akapinda, akawana vazhinji vakaungana,
28 He said to them, “You know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with a foreigner or visit him. But God has shown me that I should not call any man impure or unclean.
ndokuti kwavari: Imwi munoziva kuti hazvisi pamutemo kumurume ari muJudha kufambidzana kana kuuya kumunhu werumwe rudzi; asi Mwari wandiratidza kuti ndirege kuti munhu haana kunaka kana kuchena;
29 So when I was invited, I came without objection. I ask, then, why have you sent for me?”
naizvozvowo ndauya ndisingapikisi zvandangodanwa. Naizvozvo ndinobvunza, kuti mandidanira chinangwai?
30 Cornelius answered: “Four days ago I was in my house praying at this, the ninth hour. Suddenly a man in radiant clothing stood before me
Koneriyo ndokuti: Mazuva mana apfuura kusvikira paawa rino ndakange ndichitsanya, neawa repfumbamwe ndakange ndichinyengetera mumba mangu; zvino tarira, murume wakamira pamberi pangu ane nguvo dzinopenya,
31 and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your gifts to the poor have been remembered before God.
ndokuti: Koneriyo, munyengetero wako wanzwikwa, nemabasa ako erudo arangarirwa pamberi paMwari.
32 Therefore send to Joppa for Simon, who is called Peter. He is a guest in the home of Simon the tanner, by the sea.’
Tumira naizvozvo kuJopa, uye udane Simoni anonzi Petro; iye anogara mumba maSimoni musuki wematehwe parutivi rwegungwa; iye kana auya achataura newe.
33 So I sent for you immediately, and you were kind enough to come. Now then, we are all here in the presence of God to listen to everything the Lord has instructed you to tell us.”
Naizvozvo pakarepo ndatuma kwamuri; zvino imwi maita zvakanaka kuti mauya. Naizvozvo ikozvino tese tiripo pamberi paMwari, kuti tinzwe zvinhu zvese zvamakarairwa naIshe.
34 Then Peter began to speak: “I now truly understand that God does not show favoritism,
Zvino Petro wakashamisa muromo, akati: Zvirokwazvo ndinonzwisisa kuti Mwari haasi musaruri wevanhu;
35 but welcomes those from every nation who fear Him and do what is right.
asi parudzi rupi nerupi uyo anomutya achiita kururama anogamuchirika kwaari.
36 He has sent this message to the people of Israel, proclaiming the gospel of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.
Shoko raakatuma kuvana vaIsraeri achiparidza rugare naJesu Kristu (iye ndiIshe wevese).
37 You yourselves know what has happened throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee with the baptism that John proclaimed:
Imwi munoziva shoko rakaitika paJudhiya rese, kutanga paGarirea, shure kwerubhabhatidzo Johwani rwaakaparidza;
38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, because God was with Him.
raJesu weNazareta, kuti Mwari wakamuzodza sei neMweya Mutsvene nesimba, waipfuura, achiita zvakanaka uye achiporesa vese vakamanikidzwa nadhiabhorosi, nokuti Mwari waiva naye.
39 We are witnesses of all that He did, both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. And although they put Him to death by hanging Him on a tree,
Nesu tiri zvapupu zvezvinhu zvese zvaakaita, zvese munyika yeVaJudha nemuJerusarema; iye wavakauraya, nekuremberedza pamuti.
40 God raised Him up on the third day and caused Him to be seen—
Iye Mwari waakamutsa nezuva retatu, akamupa kuti aonekwe,
41 not by all the people, but by the witnesses God had chosen beforehand, by us who ate and drank with Him after He rose from the dead.
kwete kuvanhu vese, asi kuzvapupu zvakagara zvasarudzwa naMwari, kwatiri taidya nekunwa naye, mushure mekunge amuka kubva kuvakafa.
42 And He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that He is the One appointed by God to judge the living and the dead.
Zvino wakatiraira kuti tiparidze kuvanhu, nekupupura kwazvo kuti ndiye wakagadzwa naMwari kuva mutongi wevapenyu nevakafa.
43 All the prophets testify about Him that everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His name.”
Vaporofita vese vanopupura nezvake, kuti nezita rake ani nani anotenda maari achagamuchira kanganwiro yezvivi.
44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who heard his message.
Petro wakati achataura mashoko awa, Mweya Mutsvene wakaburukira pamusoro pavo vese vakanzwa shoko.
45 All the circumcised believers who had accompanied Peter were astounded that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles.
Zvino vekudzingiswa vaitenda vakashamisika, vese vakange vauya naPetro, nokuti nepamusoro pevahedheni chipo cheMweya Mutsvene chakange chadururwa;
46 For they heard them speaking in tongues and exalting God. Then Peter said,
nokuti vakavanzwa vachitaura nendimi, vachikudza Mwari. Ipapo Petro akapindura akati:
47 “Can anyone withhold the water to baptize these people? They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have!”
Kune munhu anogona kurambidza mvura here, kuti ava vasabhabhatidzwa, vakagamuchira Mweya Mutsvene sesuwo?
48 So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay for a few days.
Zvino akaraira kuti vabhabhatidzwe muzita raIshe. Ipapo vakamukumbira kuti agare mamwe mazuva.
