Acts 28
1 And when we got safe [to land] we then knew that the island was called Melita.
Takati tasvika zvakanaka kumahombekombe, takazoziva kuti chitsuwa ichi chainzi Marita.
2 But the barbarians shewed us no common kindness; for, having kindled a fire, they took us all in because of the rain that was falling and because of the cold.
Vanhu vomuchitsuwa ichi vakatiitira tsitsi dzinoshamisa. Vakavesa moto vakatigamuchira tose nokuti kwakanga kuchinaya uye kuchitonhora.
3 And Paul having gathered a [certain] quantity of sticks together in a bundle and laid [it] on the fire, a viper coming out from the heat seized his hand.
Pauro akaunganidza svinga retutsotso. Paakanga ava kutuisa mumoto, nyoka, yanzwa kupisa kwomoto, yakanamatira paruoko rwake.
4 And when the barbarians saw the beast hanging from his hand, they said to one another, This man is certainly a murderer, whom, [though] saved out of the sea, Nemesis has not allowed to live.
Vanhu vomuchitsuwa ichi pavakaona nyoka yakarembera paruoko rwake, vakataurirana pakati pavo vakati, “Munhu uyu anofanira kuva mhondi; nokuti kunyange apunyuka hake mugungwa, kururamisira hakuna kumubvumira kuti ararame.”
5 He however, having shaken off the beast into the fire, felt no harm.
Asi Pauro akazunzira nyoka mumoto uye haana kurwara.
6 But they expected that he would have swollen or fallen down suddenly dead. But when they had expected a long time and saw nothing unusual happen to him, changing their opinion, they said he was a god.
Vanhu vakanga vakatarisira kuti achazvimba kana kuwira pasi pakarepo ofa, asi vakati varindira kwenguva refu uye vakasaona chakaitika kwaari, vakashanduka vakati aiva mwari.
7 Now in the country surrounding that place were the lands belonging to the chief man of the island, by name Publius, who received us and gave [us] hospitality three days in a very friendly way.
Pakanga pano munda waiva pedyo ipapo wakanga uri waPabhuriosi, muchinda mukuru wechitsuwa icho. Akatigamuchira kumba kwake akatichengeta zvakanaka kwamazuva matatu.
8 And it happened that the father of Publius lay ill of fever and dysentery; to whom Paul entered in, and having prayed and laid his hands on him cured him.
Baba vake vakanga vachirwara vavete pamubhedha, vachirwadziwa nefivha uye vane manyoka aibudisa ropa. Pauro akapinda kuti andovaona, uye shure kwokunyengetera, akaisa maoko ake pamusoro pavo akavaporesa.
9 But this having taken place, the rest also who had sicknesses in the island came and were healed:
Izvi zvakati zvaitika, vairwara vose vomuchitsuwa vakauya vakaporeswa.
10 who also honoured us with many honours, and on our leaving they made presents to us of what should minister to our wants.
Vakatikudza nenzira zhinji uye patakanga tagadzirira kukwira chikepe, vakatipa zvinhu zvataida.
11 And after three months we sailed in a ship which had wintered in the island, an Alexandrian, with [the] Dioscuri for its ensign.
Mwedzi mitatu yakati yapfuura, takaenda kugungwa tikakwira muchikepe chakanga chapedza mwaka wechando chiri pachitsuwa apa. Chakanga chiri chikepe chokuArekizandiria chakanga chine misoro miviri yavamwari mapatya, ivo Kasitori naPorukisi.
12 And having come to Syracuse we remained three days.
Takaenda paSirakuse tikandogarapo kwamazuva matatu.
13 Whence, going in a circuitous course, we arrived at Rhegium; and after one day, the wind having changed to south, on the second day we came to Puteoli,
Takabvapo tikakwira chikepe tikandosvika kuRegiamu. Zuva rakatevera, mhepo yaibva zasi yakatanga kuvhuvhuta, uye pazuva rechipiri takazosvika paPuteori.
14 where, having found brethren, we were begged to stay with them seven days. And thus we went to Rome.
Ipapo takawana hama uye dzakatikoka kuti tipedze vhiki imwe tinavo. Tichibva ipapo takaenda kuRoma.
15 And thence the brethren, having heard about us, came to meet us as far as Appii Forum and Tres Tabernae, whom when Paul saw, he thanked God and took courage.
Hama dzaikoko dzakanga dzanzwa kuti takanga tichiuya, naizvozvo vakafamba kusvikira kuMusika weApio napaMahotera Matatu kuti vazosangana nesu. Pauro, paakaona varume ava, akavonga Mwari uye akakurudzirwa.
16 And when we came to Rome, [the centurion delivered up the prisoners to the praetorian prefect, but] Paul was allowed to remain by himself with the soldier who kept him.
Takati tasvika kuRoma, Pauro akatenderwa kuti agare oga, ane murwi aimuchengeta.
17 And it came to pass after three days, that he called together those who were the chief of the Jews; and when they had come together he said to them, Brethren, I having done nothing against the people or the customs of our forefathers, have been delivered a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans,
Mazuva matatu akati apfuura, akakoka vatungamiri vavaJudha. Vakati vaungana, Pauro akati kwavari, “Hama dzangu, kunyange ndisina kuita chinhu chakaipa kuvanhu vokwedu kana pamusoro petsika dzamadzitateguru edu, ndakasungwa muJerusarema ndikaiswa mumaoko avaRoma.
18 who having examined me were minded to let me go, because there was nothing worthy of death in me.
Vakandibvunzisisa uye vakada kundisunungura, nokuti ndakanga ndisina mhosva ipi zvayo yaikodzera rufu.
19 But the Jews speaking against it, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar, not as having anything to accuse my nation of.
Asi vaJudha vakati varamba ndakazvipira kuti ndizviise kuna Kesari, kwete kuti ndakanga ndine mhosva ipi zvayo nehama dzangu.
20 For this cause therefore I have called you to [me] to see and to speak to you; for on account of the hope of Israel I have this chain about me.
Nokudaro ndakumbira hangu kuti ndikuonei uye nditaure nemi. Nokuda kwetariro yaIsraeri ndakasungwa nengetani iyi.”
21 And they said to him, For our part, we have neither received letters from Judaea concerning thee, nor has any one of the brethren who has arrived reported or said anything evil concerning thee.
Ivo vakati, “Hatina kumbogamuchira kana tsamba zvadzo dzichibva kuJudhea maererano newe, uye hakuna mumwe wehama dzakabvako akatizivisa kana kutaura chinhu chipi zvacho chakaipa pamusoro pako.
22 But we beg to hear of thee what thou thinkest, for as concerning this sect it is known to us that it is everywhere spoken against.
Asi tinoda kunzwa kuti pfungwa dzako ndedzei, nokuti tinoziva kuti kwose kwose vanhu vanotaura zvakaipa pamusoro peboka iri.”
23 And having appointed him a day many came to him to the lodging, to whom he expounded, testifying of the kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses and the prophets, from early morning to evening.
Vakaronga kuzosanganazve naPauro pane rimwe zuva, uye vakauya kwaakanga ari vari vazhinji kwazvo. Kubvira mangwanani kusvikira madekwana akavatsanangurira uye akavapupurira zvoumambo hwaMwari, uye achiedza kwazvo kuti vatende nezvaJesu kutanga paMurayiro waMozisi kusvikira kuvaprofita.
24 And some were persuaded of the things which were said, but some disbelieved.
Vamwe vakatendeswa nezvaaireva, asi vamwe havana kutenda.
25 And being disagreed among themselves they left; Paul having spoken one word, Well spoke the Holy Spirit through Esaias the prophet to our fathers,
Havana kutenderana pakati pavo ndokubva vatanga kuenda, shure kwokunge Pauro ataura mashoko okupedzisira okuti: “Mweya Mutsvene akataura chokwadi kumadzitateguru enyu paakataura nomuromo waIsaya muprofita achiti:
26 saying, Go to this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear and not understand, and seeing ye shall see and not perceive.
“‘Enda kuvanhu ava uti, “Mucharamba muchinzwa asi musingatongonzwisisi; mucharamba muchiona asi musingaonesesi.”
27 For the heart of this people has become fat, and they hear heavily with their ears, and they have closed their eyes; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
Nokuti mwoyo yavanhu ava yava mikukutu; havanzwisisi nenzeve dzavo, uye vakatsinzina meso avo. Zvimwe vangaona nameso avo, vanganzwa nenzeve dzavo, vakanzwisisa nemwoyo yavo, vagotendeuka, ndigovaporesa.’
28 Be it known to you therefore, that this salvation of God has been sent to the nations; they also will hear [it].
“Naizvozvo ndinoda kuti muzive kuti ruponeso rwaMwari rwatumirwa kune veDzimwe Ndudzi, uye vachanzwa!”
29 [And he having said this, the Jews went away, having great reasoning among themselves.]
Shure kwokunge ataura izvi, vaJudha vakabva, vachikakavadzana zvikuru pakati pavo.
30 And he remained two whole years in his own hired lodging, and received all who came to him,
Pauro akagara ikoko kwamakore maviri ose ari muimba yake yaairipira uye aigamuchira vose vaiuya kuzomuona.
31 preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ, with all freedom unhinderedly.
Akaparidza zvoumambo hwaMwari asingatyi, asingadziviswi uye akadzidzisa nezvaIshe Jesu Kristu.
