Acts 5
1 But a certain man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a field,
Asi umwe murume wainzi Ananiasi, naSafira mukadzi wake, wakatengesa nhumbi dzake,
2 and he was deceitful about the price of the field, with his wife’s consent. And bringing only part of it, he placed it at the feet of the Apostles.
akazvisiira pamutengo, mukadzi wake achizivawo, akauya nechimwe chikamu, ndokuisa patsoka dzevaapositori.
3 But Peter said: “Ananias, why has Satan tempted your heart, so that you would lie to the Holy Spirit and be deceitful about the price of the land?
Asi Petro wakati: Ananiasi, Satani wazadzirei moyo wako kuti ureve nhema kuMweya Mutsvene, nekuzvisiira pamutengo wemunda?
4 Did it not belong to you while you retained it? And having sold it, was it not in your power? Why have you set this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men, but to God!”
Uchiripo hauna kuramba uri wako here, watengeswa wakange usi musimba rako here? Sei waisa mumoyo mako chiito ichi? Hauna kureva nhema kuvanhu, asi kuna Mwari.
5 Then Ananias, upon hearing these words, fell down and expired. And a great fear overwhelmed all who heard of it.
Zvino Ananiasi achinzwa mashoko awa, wakawira pasi, akapera; kutya kukuru ndokuwira pamusoro pevese vakanzwa zvinhu izvi.
6 And the young men rose up and removed him; and carrying him out, they buried him.
Nemajaya akasimuka akamuputira ndokutakurira kunze vakamuviga.
7 Then about the space of three hours passed, and his wife entered, not knowing what had happened.
Zvino zvakaitika maawa anenge matatu apfuura, kuti mukadzi wake asingazivi zvaitika wakapinda.
8 And Peter said to her, “Tell me, woman, if you sold the field for this amount?” And she said, “Yes, for that amount.”
Petro ndokumupindura akati: Ndiudze kana matengesa munda nezvakadai? Ndokuti: Hongu, nezvakadai.
9 And Peter said to her: “Why have you agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they shall carry you out!”
Petro ndokuti kwaari: Sei matenderana kuedza Mweya waIshe? Tarira, tsoka dzevaviga murume wako pamukova, newe vachakutakurira kunze.
10 Immediately, she fell down before his feet and expired. Then the young men entered and found her dead. And they carried her out and buried her next to her husband.
Ipapo akawira pasi pakarepo patsoka dzake, akapera; majaya akapinda akamuwana afa, akamutakurira kunze ndokuviga nechepamurume wake.
11 And a great fear came over the entire Church and over all who heard these things.
Kutya kukuru ndokuwira pamusoro pekereke yese nepamusoro pevese vakanzwa zvinhu izvi.
12 And through the hands of the Apostles many signs and wonders were accomplished among the people. And they all met with one accord at Solomon’s portico.
Uye nemaoko evaapositori kwakaitwa zviratidzo nezvishamiso zvizhinji pakati pevanhu; uye vese vaiva nemoyo umwe muberere raSoromoni.
13 And among the others, no one dared to join himself to them. But the people magnified them.
Asi pavamwe kwakange kusina munhu wakashinga kuzvisanganisa kwavari; asi vanhu vaivakudza.
14 Now the multitude of men and women who believed in the Lord was ever increasing,
Uye vatendi vakanyanya kuwedzerwa kuna Ishe, zvaunga zvinoti zvevarume zvikati zvevakadzi.
15 so much so that they laid the infirm in the streets, placing them on beds and stretchers, so that, as Peter arrived, at least his shadow might fall upon any one of them, and they would be freed from their infirmities.
Zvekuti vatakurira kunze varwere munzira dzemuguta, uye vakaradzika pamibhedha nepanhovo, kuti kana Petro achiuya, kunyange mumvuri udzikatire umwe wavo.
16 But a multitude also hurried to Jerusalem from the neighboring cities, carrying the sick and those troubled by unclean spirits, who were all healed.
Zvino kwakaunganawo chaunga chemaguta akapoteredza kuJerusarema, vachitakura varwere, nevaitambudzwa nemweya yetsvina, vakaporeswa vese.
17 Then the high priest and all those who were with him, that is, the heretical sect of the Sadducees, rose up and were filled with jealousy.
Zvino mupristi mukuru akasimuka, nevese vaiva naye vari sangano reVaSadhusi, vakazara negodo,
18 And they laid hands on the Apostles, and they placed them in the common prison.
vakaisa maoko avo pavaapositori vakavaisa mutirongo revanhu vese.
19 But in the night, an Angel of the Lord opened the doors of the prison and led them out, saying,
Asi mutumwa waIshe neusiku wakazarura mikova yetirongo akavabudisa akati:
20 “Go and stand in the temple, speaking to the people all these words of life.”
Endai, mugomira muchitaura mutembere kuvanhu ese mashoko eupenyu uhu.
21 And when they had heard this, they entered the temple at first light, and they were teaching. Then the high priest, and those who were with him, approached, and they called together the council and all the elders of the sons of Israel. And they sent to the prison to have them brought.
Zvino vakati vanzwa, vakapinda mutembere mangwanani-ngwanani vakadzidzisa. Asi mupristi mukuru wakasvika nevaiva naye, vakakokera dare remakurukota pamwe neungano yese yedare revakuru revana vaIsraeri, vakatumira mapurisa kutirongo kuti vauiswe.
22 But when the attendants had arrived, and, upon opening the prison, had not found them, they returned and reported to them,
Asi mapurisa akati achisvika, akasavawana mutirongo; akadzoka akapira shoko,
23 saying: “We found the prison certainly locked up with all diligence, and the guards standing before the door. But upon opening it, we found no one within.”
achiti: Tirongo zvirokwazvo takawana rakavharwa nekuchengetedzwa kwese, nevarindi vamire panze pamberi pemikova; asi tati tazarura, mukati hatina kuwana munhu.
24 Then, when the magistrate of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were uncertain about them, as to what should happen.
Zvino mupristi nemutungamiriri wetembere nevapristi vakuru vakati vanzwa mashoko iwayo, vakasava nechokwadi pamusoro pavo, kuti izvi zvichazovei.
25 But someone arrived and reported to them, “Behold, the men whom you placed in prison are in the temple, standing and teaching the people.”
Zvino kwakasvika umwe akavaudza achiti: Tarirai, varume vamakaisa mutirongo vamire mutembere vachidzidzisa vanhu.
26 Then the magistrate, with the attendants, went and brought them without force. For they were afraid of the people, lest they be stoned.
Zvino mutungamiriri nemapurisa vakaenda vakauya navo kwete nesimba, nokuti vaitya vanhu kuti vasatakwa nemabwe.
27 And when they had brought them, they stood them before the council. And the high priest questioned them,
Vakati vavauisa vakavamisa pamberi pedare remakurukota. Mupristi mukuru ndokuvabvunza,
28 and said: “We strongly order you not to teach in this name. For behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and you wish to bring the blood of this man upon us.”
achiti: Hatina kukurairisai kuti musadzidzisa nezita iri here? Zvino tarirai, mazadza Jerusarema nedzidziso yenyu, uye muchishuva kuuisa ropa remunhu uyu pamusoro pedu.
29 But Peter and the Apostles responded by saying: “It is necessary to obey God, more so than men.
Zvino Petro nevaapositori vakapindura vakati: Zvakafanira kuteerera Mwari kupfuura vanhu.
30 The God of our fathers has raised up Jesus, whom you put to death by hanging him on a tree.
Mwari wemadzibaba edu wakamutsa Jesu, iye wamakauraya imwi, mukaremberedza pamuti.
31 It is he whom God has exalted at his right hand as Ruler and Savior, so as to offer repentance and the remission of sins to Israel.
Iye uyu Mwari wakamusimudza neruoko rwake rwerudyi, ave Muvambi neMuponesi, kupa Israeri kutendeuka nekanganwiro yezvivi.
32 And we are witnesses of these things, with the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to all who are obedient to him.”
Uye isu tiri zvapupu zvake zvezvinhu izvi, neMweya Mutsvenewo, Mwari waakapa avo vanomuteerera.
33 When they had heard these things, they were deeply wounded, and they were planning to put them to death.
Zvino vakati vanzwa vakashatirwa kwazvo, vakarangana kuvauraya.
34 But someone in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law honored by all the people, rose up and ordered the men to be put outside briefly.
Ipapo kukasimuka umwe padare remakurukota, muFarisi wainzi Gamarieri, mudzidzisi wemurairo, waikudzwa nevanhu vese, akaraira kuti vaapositori vabudiswe chinguva chidiki.
35 And he said to them: “Men of Israel, you should be careful in your intentions about these men.
Ndokuti kwavari: Varume VaIsraeri, zvichenjererei maererano nevanhu ava, zvamoda kuita.
36 For before these days, Theudas stepped forward, asserting himself to be someone, and a number of men, about four hundred, joined with him. But he was killed, and all who believed in him were scattered, and they were reduced to nothing.
Nokuti mazuva ano asati asvika kwakamuka Tudhasi, achiti iye pachake wakange ari munhu, uwandu hwevanhu hunenge mazana mana vakazvisanganisa naye; iye wakaurawa, nevese vaimuteerera neuwandu hwavo vakaparadzirwa, vakava pasina.
37 After this one, Judas the Galilean stepped forward, in the days of the enrollment, and he turned the people toward himself. But he also perished, and all of them, as many as had joined with him, were dispersed.
Shure kweuyu kukamuka Judhasi muGarirea, pamazuva ekuverengwa, akakwevera vanhu vazhinji shure kwake; iyewo wakaparara, nevese vakamuteerera neuwandu hwavo vakaparadzirwa.
38 And now therefore, I say to you, withdraw from these men and leave them alone. For if this counsel or work is of men, it will be broken.
Zvino ikozvino ndinoti kwamuri: Sudurukai kuvanhu ava, muvarege, nokuti kana zano iri kana basa iri riri revanhu, richaparadzwa.
39 Yet truly, if it is of God, you will not be able to break it, and perhaps you might be found to have fought against God.” And they agreed with him.
Asi kana zviri zvaMwari, hamugoni kuzviparadza; kuti zvimwe muwanikwe muchirwa naMwariwo.
40 And calling in the Apostles, having beaten them, they warned them not to speak at all in the name of Jesus. And they dismissed them.
Vakamuteerera; uye vakati vadanira vaapositori kwavari vakavarova, vakavaraira kusataura muzita raJesu, vakavaregedza.
41 And indeed, they went forth from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were considered worthy to suffer insult on behalf of the name of Jesus.
Naizvozvo vakabva pazviso zvedare remakurukota, vachifara kuti vakafanirwa nekuzvidzwa nekuda kwezita rake.
42 And every day, in the temple and among the houses, they did not cease to teach and to evangelize Christ Jesus.
Uye mazuva ese mutembere nepaimba imwe neimwe havana kumira kudzidzisa nekuparidza Jesu Kristu.
