Acts 16
1 And he came to Derbe and Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, by name Timotheus, son of a Jewish believing woman, but [the] father a Greek,
Akasvika kuDhebhe ndokuzoenda kuRistira, kwaigara mudzidzi ainzi Timoti, uye mai vake vakanga vari muJudha, vari mutendi, asi baba vake vakanga vari muGiriki.
2 who had a [good] testimony of the brethren in Lystra and Iconium.
Hama dzapaRistira neIkoniamu dzakanga dzichimupupurira zvakanaka.
3 Him would Paul have go forth with him, and took [him and] circumcised him on account of the Jews who were in those places, for they all knew his father that he was a Greek.
Pauro akada kumutora kuti aende naye parwendo, saka akamudzingisa nokuda kwavaJudha vaigara munzvimbo iyoyo, nokuti vose vaiziva kuti baba vake vaiva muGiriki.
4 And as they passed through the cities they instructed them to observe the decrees determined on by the apostles and elders who were in Jerusalem.
Pavakafamba muguta neguta, vakasvitsa mashoko akanga ataurwa navapostori navakuru vomuJerusarema kuti vanhu vaateerere.
5 The assemblies therefore were confirmed in the faith, and increased in number every day.
Nokudaro kereke dzakasimbiswa mukutenda uye dzakawedzerwa zuva rimwe nerimwe pauwandu.
6 And having passed through Phrygia and the Galatian country, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia,
Pauro nevaaiva navo vakafamba nomumatunhu eFirigia neGaratia, vamborambidzwa naMweya Mutsvene kuparidza shoko mudunhu reEzhia.
7 having come down to Mysia, they attempted to go to Bithynia, and the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them;
Vakati vasvika pamuganhu weMisia, vakaedza kupinda muBhitinia, asi Mweya waJesu hauna kuvabvumira.
8 and having passed by Mysia they descended to Troas.
Saka vakapfuura napaMisia vakadzika kuTroasi.
9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: There was a certain Macedonian man, standing and beseeching him, and saying, Pass over into Macedonia and help us.
Panguva dzousiku, Pauro akaona chiratidzo chomurume weMasedhonia amire achimukumbira achiti, “Yambukirai kuno kuMasedhonia muzotibatsira.”
10 And when he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go forth to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to announce to them the glad tidings.
Shure kwokunge Pauro aona chiratidzo, takagadzirira pakarepo kuti tibve tiende kuMasedhonia, tagutsikana kuti Mwari akanga atidana kuti tindovaparidzira vhangeri.
11 Having sailed therefore away from Troas, we went in a straight course to Samothracia, and on the morrow to Neapolis,
Tichibva paTroasi takananga kugungwa tikakwira chikepe ndokunanga kuSamotirasi, uye zuva rakatevera takasvika paNeaporisi.
12 and thence to Philippi, which is [the] first city of that part of Macedonia, a colony. And we were staying in that city certain days.
Kubva ipapo takaenda kuFiripi, nyika yaitongwa navaRoma uye guta guru redunhu reMasedhonia. Uye takagara mazuva mazhinji ipapo.
13 And on the sabbath day we went outside the gate by the river, where it was the custom for prayer to be, and we sat down and spoke to the women who had assembled.
Nomusi weSabata takabuda kunze kwesuo reguta kurwizi, kwataitarisira kuwana nzvimbo yokunyengeterera. Takasvikogara pasi ndokubva tatanga kutaura kumadzimai akanga akaungana ipapo.
14 And a certain woman, by name Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, who worshipped God, heard; whose heart the Lord opened to attend to the things spoken by Paul.
Mumwe waavo vakanga vakateerera aiva mudzimai ainzi Ridhia, aiva nebasa rokutengesa nguo dzomucheka wepepuru dzaibva kuguta reTiatira, ainamata Mwari. Ishe akazarura mwoyo wake kuti agamuchire mashoko aPauro.
15 And when she had been baptised and her house, she besought [us], saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and abide [there]. And she constrained us.
Akati abhabhatidzwa iye neveimba yake, vakatikoka kumba kwake akati, “Kana muchiona kuti ndiri mutendi muna She, uyaiwo mugare kumba kwangu.” Akatikumbirisa tikatenda.
16 And it came to pass as we were going to prayer that a certain female slave, having a spirit of Python, met us, who brought much profit to her masters by prophesying.
Nerimwe zuva patakanga tichienda kunzvimbo yokunyengeterera, takasangana nomusikana akanga ari nhapwa akanga ane mweya wokuvuka. Aiwanira vatenzi vake mari zhinji nokuvuka kwake.
17 She, having followed Paul and us, cried saying, These men are bondmen of the Most High God, who announce to you [the] way of salvation.
Musikana uyu aitevera Pauro nesu, achidanidzira achiti, “Varume ava varanda vaMwari Wokumusoro-soro, vari kukuudzai nzira yoruponeso.”
18 And this she did many days. And Paul, being distressed, turned, and said to the spirit, I enjoin thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it came out the same hour.
Akaramba achiita izvi kwamazuva mazhinji. Pakupedzisira Pauro akashushikana zvikuru zvokuti akatendeuka akati kumweya uyu, “Muzita raJesu Kristu ndinokurayira kuti ubude maari!” Nenguva yakare iyoyo mweya wakabva maari.
19 And her masters, seeing that the hope of their gains was gone, having seized Paul and Silas, dragged [them] into the market before the magistrates;
Vatenzi vomusikana akanga ari nhapwa vakaona kuti tariro yavo yokuita mari yakanga yapera, vakabata Pauro naSirasi vakavazvuzvurudzira pachivara pamberi pavo.
20 and having brought them up to the praetors, said, These men utterly trouble our city, being Jews,
Vakavamisa pamberi pavatongi vakati, “Varume ava vaJudha, uye vamutsa bope muguta redu
21 and announce customs which it is not lawful for us to receive nor practise, being Romans.
vachidzidzisa tsika dzisingabvumirwi nesu vaRoma kuti tidzigamuchire kana kudziita.”
22 And the crowd rose up too against them; and the praetors, having torn off their clothes, commanded to scourge [them].
Ungano yakabatana pakurwisa Pauro naSirasi, uye vatongi vakarayira kuti nguo dzavo dzibvarurwe uye kuti varohwe.
23 And having laid many stripes upon them they cast [them] into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely;
Shure kwokurohwa zvikuru, vakaiswa mutorongo, uye muchengeti wetorongo akarayirwa kuti avachengetedze kwazvo.
24 who, having received such a charge, cast them into the inner prison, and secured their feet to the stocks.
Akati agamuchira kurayira uku, akavaisa muchitokisi chomukati akasungirira tsoka dzavo pamatanda.
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas, in praying, were praising God with singing, and the prisoners listened to them.
Panenge pakati pousiku, Pauro naSirasi vakanga vachinyengetera uye vachiimba nziyo kuna Mwari, uye vamwe vasungwa vakanga vakavateerera.
26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison shook, and all the doors were immediately opened, and the bonds of all loosed.
Pakarepo pakava nokudengenyeka kwenyika kukuru zvokuti nheyo dzetorongo dzakazungunuka. Kamwe kamwe masuo etorongo akazaruka, uye ngetani dzavanhu vose dzakasununguka.
27 And the jailor being awakened out of his sleep, and seeing the doors of the prison opened, having drawn a sword was going to kill himself, thinking the prisoners had fled.
Muchengeti wetorongo akamuka, uye paakaona masuo etorongo azaruka akavhomora munondo wake akada kuzviuraya nokuti akafunga kuti vasungwa vakanga vapunyuka.
28 But Paul called out with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm, for we are all here.
Asi Pauro akadanidzira achiti, “Usazvikuvadza! Tiri muno tose!”
29 And having asked for lights, he rushed in, and, trembling, fell down before Paul and Silas.
Muchengeti wetorongo akadanidzira kuti mwenje itungidzwe, akapinda achimhanya ndokusvikowira pamberi paPauro naSirasi achidedera.
30 And leading them out said, Sirs, what must I do that I may be saved?
Ipapo akavabudisa kunze akati kwavari, “Vakuru, ndingaita sei kuti ndiponeswe?”
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house.
Vakapindura vakati, “Tenda kuna She Jesu ugoponeswa, iwe neimba yako.”
32 And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, with all that were in his house.
Ipapo vakataura shoko raShe kwaari nokuna vose vakanga vari mumba.
33 And he took them the same hour of the night and washed [them] from their stripes; and was baptised, he and all his straightway.
Nenguva yousiku iyoyo, muchengeti wetorongo akavatora akashambidza maronda avo; uye pakarepo, akabhabhatidzwa iye nemhuri yake.
34 And having brought them into his house he laid the table [for them], and rejoiced with all his house, having believed in God.
Muchengeti wetorongo akaenda navo kumba kwake akavagadzirira zvokudya; akazadzwa nomufaro nokuti akanga atenda kuna Mwari, iye nemhuri yake.
35 And when it was day, the praetors sent the lictors, saying, Let those men go.
Kwakati kwaedza, vatongi vakatuma vabati vavo kumuchengeti wetorongo neshoko rokuti: “Sunungura varume vaya.”
36 And the jailor reported these words to Paul: The praetors have sent that ye may be let go. Now therefore go out and depart in peace.
Muchengeti wetorongo akati kuna Pauro, “Vatongi varayira kuti iwe naSirasi musunungurwe. Zvino mungaenda henyu. Endai norugare.”
37 But Paul said to them, Having beaten us publicly uncondemned, us who are Romans, they have cast us into prison, and now they thrust us out secretly? no, indeed, but let them come themselves and bring us out.
Asi Pauro akati kumubati, “Vakatirova pachena tisina kutongwa, kunyange zvedu tiri vaRoma, uye vakatiisa mutorongo. Uye zvino vava kuda kutiregedza chinyararire here? Kwete! Ngavauye ivo vagotibudisa.”
38 And the lictors reported these words to the praetors. And they were afraid when they heard they were Romans.
Vabati vakandozivisa vatongi izvozvo, uye ivo vakati vanzwa kuti Pauro naSirasi vakanga vari vaRoma, vakatya kwazvo.
39 And they came and besought them, and having brought them out, asked them to go out of the city.
Vakauya kuzovanyengetedza ndokuvabudisa mutorongo, vachivakumbira kuti vabve muguta.
40 And having gone out of the prison, they came to Lydia; and having seen the brethren, they exhorted them and went away.
Shure kwokubuda kwaPauro naSirasi mutorongo, vakaenda kumba kwaRidhia, kwavakandosangana nehama uye vakavakurudzira. Ipapo vakaenda havo.
