Acts 1
1 I composed the first discourse, O Theophilus, concerning all things which Jesus began both to do and to teach,
Mubhuku rangu rokutanga, Teofirasi, ndakanyora pamusoro pezvose zvakatanga kuitwa uye nokudzidziswa naJesu
2 until that day in which, having by the Holy Spirit charged the apostles whom he had chosen, he was taken up;
kusvikira pazuva raakakwidzwa kudenga, shure kwokunge arayira, kubudikidza noMweya Mutsvene, vapostori vaakanga asarudza.
3 to whom also he presented himself living, after he had suffered, with many proofs; being seen by them during forty days, and speaking of the things which concern the kingdom of God;
Mushure mokutambudzika kwake, akazviratidza kuvarume ava uye akaratidza zviratidzo zvakasimba zvizhinji zvokuti akanga ari mupenyu. Akaonekwa navo mazuva anopfuura makumi mana uye akataura nezvoumambo hwaMwari.
4 and, being assembled with [them], commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to await the promise of the Father, which [said he] ye have heard of me.
Pane imwe nguva, paakanga achidya navo, akavarayira achiti, “Musabva muJerusarema, asi mumirire chipo chakavimbiswa naBaba vangu, icho chamakandinzwa ndichitaura pamusoro pacho.
5 For John indeed baptised with water, but ye shall be baptised with the Holy Spirit after now not many days.
Nokuti Johani akabhabhatidza nemvura, asi mushure mamazuva mashoma muchabhabhatidzwa noMweya Mutsvene.”
6 They therefore, being come together, asked him saying, Lord, is it at this time that thou restorest the kingdom to Israel?
Saka, vakati vaungana pamwe chete, vakamubvunza vakati, “Ishe, mava kuzodzosera ushe kuvaIsraeri panguva ino here?”
7 And he said to them, It is not yours to know times or seasons, which the Father has placed in his own authority;
Akati kwavari, “Hazvisi kwamuri kuti muzive nguva kana musi wakatarwa naBaba nesimba ravo pachavo.
8 but ye will receive power, the Holy Spirit having come upon you, and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.
Asi muchagamuchira simba kana Mweya Mutsvene auya pamusoro penyu; uye muchava zvapupu zvangu muJerusarema, nomuJudhea mose, nomuSamaria, kusvikira kumigumo yenyika.”
9 And having said these things he was taken up, they beholding [him], and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Mushure mokunge ataura izvi, akakwidzwa kudenga pamberi pameso avo chaipo, uye gore rikamufukidza vakasazomuona.
10 And as they were gazing into heaven, as he was going, behold, also two men stood by them in white clothing,
Vakanga vakatarisisa paakanga achienda, uye pakarepo varume vaviri vakanga vakapfeka nguo chena vakamira pavari.
11 who also said, Men of Galilee, why do ye stand looking into heaven? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven, shall thus come in the manner in which ye have beheld him going into heaven.
Vakati kwavari, “Varume veGarirea, makamirireiko pano makatarisa kudenga? Iyeyu Jesu abviswa kwamuri achienda kudenga, achadzokazve sezvamamuona achienda kudenga.”
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called [the mount] of Olives, which is near Jerusalem, a sabbath-day's journey off.
Ipapo vakadzokera kuJerusarema vachibva kugomo rinonzi reMiorivhi, rwendo rwezuva reSabata uchibva kuguta.
13 And when they were come into [the city], they went up to the upper chamber, where were staying both Peter, and John, and James, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James [son] of Alphaeus, and Simon the zealot, and Jude [the brother] of James.
Vakati vasvika, vakakwira kuimba yapamusoro kukamuri ravaigara. Vakanga varipo vaiti: Petro, Johani, Jakobho naAndirea; Firipi naTomasi; Bhatoromeo naMateo; Jakobho mwanakomana waArifeasi naSimoni muZeroti, uye naJudhasi mwanakomana waJakobho.
14 These gave themselves all with one accord to continual prayer, with [several] women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
Vakabatana vose pakuramba vachinyengetera, pamwe chete navakadzi uye naMaria mai vaJesu, navanunʼuna vake.
15 And in those days Peter, standing up in the midst of the brethren, said, (the crowd of names [who were] together [was] about a hundred and twenty, )
Mumazuva iwayo, Petro akasimuka pakati pavatendi (ungano yaida kusvika zana namakumi maviri)
16 Brethren, it was necessary that the scripture should have been fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before, by the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who became guide to those who took Jesus;
akati, “Hama, Rugwaro rwaifanira kuzadziswa rwakataurwa noMweya Mutsvene nomuromo waDhavhidhi pamusoro paJudhasi, uyo akabatsira kutungamirira vaya vakasunga Jesu,
17 for he was numbered amongst us, and had received a part in this service.
akanga ari mumwe wedu uye akanga ano mugove muushumiri uhu.”
18 (This [man] then indeed got a field with [the] reward of iniquity, and, having fallen down headlong, burst in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.
(Nomubayiro waakawana nokuda kwokuipa kwake, Judhasi akatenga munda; imomo ndimo maakawira pasi nomusoro, muviri wake ukaputika, ura hwake hukabuda.
19 And it was known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that that field was called in their own dialect Aceldama; that is, field of blood.)
Munhu wose akanzwa nezvazvo muJerusarema, saka vakatumidza munda uya nomutauro wavo kuti Akeridhama, ndiko kuti, Munda weRopa.)
20 For it is written in [the] book of Psalms, Let his homestead become desolate, and let there be no dweller in it; and, Let another take his overseership.
Petro akati, “Nokuti kwakanyorwa mubhuku raMapisarema kuti, “‘Musha wake ngauve dongo; ngakurege kuva nomunhu anogaramo,’ uye kuti, “‘Mumwe ngaatore nzvimbo yake youtungamiri.’
21 It is necessary therefore, that of the men who have assembled with us all [the] time in which the Lord Jesus came in and went out among us,
Naizvozvo zvakafanira kuti kusarudzwe mumwe murume akanga anesu nguva yose Ishe Jesu paaipinda nokubuda pakati pedu,
22 beginning from the baptism of John until the day in which he was taken up from us, one of these should be a witness with us of his resurrection.
kutanga parubhabhatidzo rwaJohani kusvikira panguva yakabviswa Jesu kwatiri. Nokuti mumwe waava anofanira kuva chapupu chokumuka kwake, pamwe chete nesu.”
23 And they appointed two, Joseph, who was called Barsabas, who had been surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
Saka vakasarudza varume vaviri vaiti: Josefa ainzi Bhanabhasi (aizivikanwawo sokunzi Jastasi) naMatiasi.
24 And they prayed, and said, Thou Lord, knower of the hearts of all, shew which one of these two thou hast chosen,
Ipapo vakanyengetera vachiti, “Ishe, munoziva mwoyo yavanhu vose. Tiratidzei pakati pavaviri ava wamasarudza
25 to receive the lot of this service and apostleship, from which Judas transgressing fell to go to his own place.
kuti atore basa iri roupostori, rakasiyiwa naJudhasi achienda kunzvimbo yake.”
26 And they gave lots on them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Ipapo vakakanda mijenya, uye mujenya ukawira kuna Matiasi; saka akawedzerwa kuvapostori vane gumi nomumwe.
