Acts 28
1 And when we got safe [to land] we then knew that the island was called Melita.
Zvino vakati vapona, ipapo vakaziva kuti chiwi chinonzi Merita.
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.
Zvino vatorwa vakatiitira unyoro husina kujairika; nokuti vakavesa moto, vakatigamuchira tese, nekuda kwemvura yaitanga uye nekuda kwechando.
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.
Zvino Pauro wakati aunganidza svinga rehuni, akaisa pamoto, kwakabuda chiva kubva murudziyira, chikakwinyira 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.
Zvino vatorwa vakati vachiona chikara chakaremberera paruoko rwake, vakataurirana vachiti: Zvirokwazvo munhu uyu imhondi, iye kunyange apukunyuka gungwa, kururama hakumutenderi kurarama.
5 He however, having shaken off the beast into the fire, felt no harm.
Iye ndokuzuzira chikara mumoto, akasambokuvara.
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.
Zvino vakatarisira kuti iye achazvimba, kana kuwira pasi pakarepo akafa; asi vakati vatarira nguva refu, vakaona pasina chinhu chisina kujairika chaitika kwaari, vakashandura fungwa dzavo voti iye ndimwari.
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.
Zvino panharaunda yenzvimbo iyo paiva neminda yemukuru wechiwi wainzi Pubhirio; iye wakatigamuchira akatigarisa zvakanaka mazuva 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.
Zvino zvakaitika kuti baba vaPubhirio vakange varere vakabatwa nefivhiri nemudumbu weropa; kwavari Pauro kwaakapinda, akanyengetera, akaisa maoko pamusoro pavo, akavaporesa.
9 But this having taken place, the rest also who had sicknesses in the island came and were healed:
Naizvozvo izvi zvakati zvaitika, vamwewo vaiva nezvirwere pachiwi vakaswedera ndokuporeswa;
10 who also honoured us with many honours, and on our leaving they made presents to us of what should minister to our wants.
ivo vakatikudzawo nerukudzo ruzhinji, uye toenda nechikepe, vakakwidza zvinhu zvaidikanwa.
11 And after three months we sailed in a ship which had wintered in the island, an Alexandrian, with [the] Dioscuri for its ensign.
Zvino shure kwemwedzi mitatu takabva nechikepe cheArekizandiria, chakange chagara muchando pachiwi, chaiva nechiratidzo chekuti Dhiosikuri.
12 And having come to Syracuse we remained three days.
Zvino tasvika paSirakuse takagara mazuva 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,
Tabvapo tikatenderera tikasvika kuRegiomu; zvino shure kwezuva rimwe mhepo yechamhembe ikasimuka, zuva repiri tikasvika muPuteori;
14 where, having found brethren, we were begged to stay with them seven days. And thus we went to Rome.
matakawana hama, tikakumbirwa kugara nadzo mazuva manomwe; saizvozvowo 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.
Zvino kubva ipapo hama dzakati dzanzwa nezvedu, dzikabuda kuzotichingamidza kudzamara Apio Foramu nepaDzimba Dzevaeni Nhatu; ivo Pauro vaakati achiona, akavonga Mwari, akatsunga moyo.
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.
Zvino takati tasvika kuRoma, mukuru wezana akakumikidza vasungwa kumutungamiriri wevarindi; asi Pauro wakatenderwa kugara ari ega, nemuuto anomurinda.
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,
Zvino zvikaitika shure kwemazuva matatu, kuti Pauro wakadanira vaiva vakuru veVaJudha pamwe; zvino vakati vaungana, akati kwavari: Varume hama, ini ndisina kuita chinhu chinopesana nerudzi kana tsika dzemadzibaba, ndiri musungwa ndabva kuJerusarema ndakumikidzwa pamaoko eVaRoma;
18 who having examined me were minded to let me go, because there was nothing worthy of death in me.
ivo vakati vandiongorora vakada kundisunungura, nokuti pakange pasina chikonzero cherufu kwandiri.
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 vakaramba, ndikarovererwa kuikwidza kuna Kesari, kwete kuti ndaiva nechinhu chekumhan'arira rudzi rwangu.
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.
Naizvozvo nekuda kwechikonzero ichi ndakudanai kuti ndikuonei, nditaure nemwi; nokuti ndakamoneredzwa neketani iyi nekuda kwetariro yaIsraeri.
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.
Zvino vakati kwaari: Isu hatina kugamuchira tsamba kubva kuJudhiya pamusoro pako, uye hakuna umwe wehama, wakati asvika, akatipira kana kutaura chinhu 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 newe zvaunofunga; nokuti maererano nebato iri tinoziva kuti rinopikiswa kwese-kwese.
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.
Zvino vakati vamutarira zuva, vazhinji vakauya kwaari kuimba yevaenzi; akavadudzira achivapupurira ushe hwaMwari, akavagombedzera zviri maererano naJesu, zvese kubva pamurairo waMozisi nevaporofita, kubva mangwanani kusvikira madekwani.
24 And some were persuaded of the things which were said, but some disbelieved.
Zvino vamwe vakatenda zvinhu zvakataurwa, asi vamwe vakasatenda.
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,
Zvino zvavakange vasingawirirani pachavo, vakaenda, Pauro ataura shoko rimwe chete rekuti: Mweya Mutsvene wakataura zvakanaka naIsaya muporofita kumadzibaba edu,
26 saying, Go to this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear and not understand, and seeing ye shall see and not perceive.
achiti: Enda kurudzi urwu ugoti: Nekunzwa muchanzwa, uye hamungatongonzwisisi; nekuona muchaona, uye hamungatongoonesesi.
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 moyo wevanhu ava wakasindimadzwa, uye nenzeve vanonzwa nemutsutsururu, nemeso avo vakavhara; kuti zvimwe vangaona nemeso, nekunzwa nenzeve, nekunzwisisa nemoyo, zvino vatendeuke, 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 ngazvizikanwe kwamuri, kuti ruponeso rwaMwari rwunotumirwa kuvahedheni, ivo vachanzwawo.
29 [And he having said this, the Jews went away, having great reasoning among themselves.]
Zvino wakati ataura zvinhu izvi, VaJudha vakaenda, vachiita nharo huru pakati pavo.
30 And he remained two whole years in his own hired lodging, and received all who came to him,
Pauro akagara makore maviri agere muimba yake pachake yaairipira mari, uye akagamuchira vese vaipinda kwaari,
31 preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ, with all freedom unhinderedly.
achiparidza ushe hwaMwari, nekudzidzisa zviri maererano naIshe Jesu Kristu, neushingi hwese, pasina kudziviswa.
