Acts 9
1 Meanwhile Saul, still exhaling murderous threats against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest
Zvichakadaro Sauro akanga ari mubishi rokutaura zvokuuraya vadzidzi vaShe. Akaenda kumuprista mukuru
2 and asked for letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he should find any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
akandomukumbira matsamba kuti agoenda nawo kumasinagoge okuDhamasiko, kuti kana akawana ani zvake ari weNzira iyo, vangava varume kana vakadzi, aizovabata savasungwa agoenda navo kuJerusarema.
3 So it happened, as he was going, that he got close to Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven shone around him;
Akati oswedera kuDhamasiko ari parwendo rwake, pakarepo chiedza chakabva kudenga chikamupenyera kumativi ose.
4 and falling to the ground he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”
Akawira pasi akanzwa inzwi richiti kwaari, “Sauro, Sauro, unonditambudzireiko?”
5 So he said, “Who are you, Lord?” So the Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting;
Sauro akabvunza akati, “Ndimi aniko, Ishe?” Iye akapindura akati, “Ndini Jesu wauri kutambudza.
6 but get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”
Zvino simuka uende muguta, uchandoudzwa zvaunofanira kuita.”
7 The men who were traveling with him stood speechless, hearing the sound but seeing no one.
Varume vaifamba naSauro vakamira vakashaya chokutaura; vakanzwa inzwi asi havana kuona kana munhu.
8 Then Saul got up from the ground, and upon opening his eyes he saw no one; so leading him by the hand they brought him into Damascus.
Sauro akasimuka, asi akati achisvinudza meso ake haana kugona kuona chinhu. Saka vakamubata ruoko vakamutungamirira kupinda muDhamasiko.
9 He was without sight for three days, and neither ate nor drank.
Akava bofu kwamazuva matatu, uye akanga asingadyi kana kunwa kana chinhu.
10 Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias, and the Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!” So he said, “Here I am, Lord.”
MuDhamasiko makanga muno mudzidzi ainzi Ananiasi. Ishe akati kwaari muchiratidzo, “Ananiasi!” Iye akapindura akati, “Ndiri pano Ishe.”
11 So the Lord said to him: “Get up and go to the street called Straight, and at the house of Judas inquire by name for Saul of Tarsus; because, you see, he is praying,
Ishe akati kwaari, “Enda kumba kwaJudhasi panzira inonzi Nzira Yakarurama undobvunza murume anonzi Sauro anobva kuTasasi, nokuti ari kunyengetera.
12 and in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and placing a hand on him, so that he might recover his sight.”
Akaona muchiratidzo murume anonzi Ananiasi achiuya kwaari akaisa maoko ake pamusoro pake kuti aonezve.”
13 But Ananias answered: “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how many evil things he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem.
Ananiasi akapindura akati, “Ishe, ndakanzwa mashoko akawanda pamusoro pomurume uyu, uye nezvakaipa zvose zvaakaitira vatsvene venyu muJerusarema.
14 Moreover here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who are calling on Your name.”
Uye akauya kuno nemvumo yakabva kuvaprista vakuru yokuti asunge vose vanodana kuzita renyu.”
15 But the Lord said to him: “Get moving, because this man is a chosen vessel to me, to carry my name before nations and kings, also the children of Israel;
Asi Ishe akati kuna Ananiasi, “Enda! Murume uyu mudziyo wangu wandakasanangura kuti aende nezita rangu pamberi pevedzimwe ndudzi napamberi pamadzimambo avo uye napamberi paIsraeri.
16 for I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name's sake.”
Ndichamuratidza kuti anofanira kutambudzika sei nokuda kwezita rangu.”
17 So Ananias went and entered the house, and placing his hands on him he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me so that you may recover your sight and be filled by Holy Spirit.”
Ipapo Ananiasi akaenda kuimba iyi akasvikopindamo. Akaisa maoko ake pamusoro paSauro akati, “Muzvarwa Sauro, Ishe Jesu, uyo akazviratidza kwauri pamugwagwa pawakanga uchiuya kuno, andituma kuti iwe uonezve uye uzadzwe noMweya Mutsvene.”
18 Immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he recovered his sight forthwith; and getting up he was baptized,
Pakarepo, zvinhu zvakaita samakwati zvakabva pameso aSauro, akagona kuonazve. Akasimuka akabhabhatidzwa,
19 and upon receiving food he was strengthened. So Saul was with the disciples in Damascus for a number of days.
uye shure kwokunge adya zvokudya, akavazve nesimba. Sauro akagara navadzidzi paDhamasiko kwamazuva mazhinji.
20 Immediately he started proclaiming Jesus in the synagogues, that He is the Son of the God.
Pakarepo akatanga kuparidza musinagoge kuti Jesu ndiye Mwanakomana waMwari.
21 Well, all who heard him were astounded and started saying: “Isn't this the one who tried to destroy, in Jerusalem, those who called on this name? Even here he had come with that purpose, that he might take them bound to the high priests.”
Vose vakamunzwa vakakatyamara vakati, “Ko, haazi iye here akamutsa bongozozo muJerusarema pakati paavo vanodana kuzita iri? Uye haana kuuya kuno kuzovabata savasungwa kuti avaendese kuvaprista vakuru here?”
22 But Saul kept growing stronger and kept on confounding the Jews who lived in Damascus, proving that ‘This One is the Christ.’
Asi Sauro akanyanya kuva nesimba akakunda vaJudha vaigara muDhamasiko achivaratidza kuti Jesu ndiye Kristu.
23 Now when a good many days had passed, the Jews plotted to kill him;
Mazuva mazhinji akati apera, vaJudha vakarangana kumuuraya,
24 but their plot became known to Saul. They started watching the gates day and night, so that they might kill him;
asi Sauro akanzwa nezverangano yavo. Vakarinda masuo eguta masikati nousiku vachiitira kuti vagomuuraya.
25 so the disciples took him by night and passed him through the wall, lowering him in a hamper.
Asi vateveri vake vakamutora usiku vakamuburutsa ari mudengu napakanga pakashama murusvingo.
26 Now upon arriving in Jerusalem Saul kept trying to join himself to the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
Akati asvika kuJerusarema akaedza kuti abatane navadzidzi, asi vose vakanga vachimutya, vasingatendi kuti akanga ava mudzidzi wechokwadi.
27 But Barnabas took him in tow and brought him to the apostles, and described to them how he had seen the Lord on the road, and that He had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had spoken fearlessly in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Asi Bhanabhasi akamutora akamuuyisa kuvapostori. Akavaudza kuti Sauro akanga aona Ishe sei ari parwendo rwake uye kuti muDhamasiko Ishe akanga ataura kwaari, uyewo kuti akaparidza sei muzita raJesu asingatyi.
28 So he was with them in Jerusalem, going in and out, and speaking fearlessly in the name of Jesus.
Saka Sauro akagara navo muJerusarema akasununguka, achitaura muzita raIshe uye akafamba asingatyi.
29 He kept on speaking and debating with the Hellenists, so they started trying to kill him.
Akataura uye akapikisana navaJudha vaitaura chiGiriki, asi vakaedza kumuuraya.
30 Upon finding it out, the brothers brought him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus.
Zvino hama dzakati dzazvinzwa izvi, dzakamutora dzikaburuka naye kuKesaria ndokumuendesa kuTasasi.
31 So then the congregations throughout all Judea and Galilee, and Samaria, had peace and were built up; and proceeding in the fear of the Lord and in the enabling of the Holy Spirit they were being multiplied.
Ipapo kereke yakava norugare muJudhea mose, nomuGarirea neSamaria. Kereke yakasimbiswa; uye yakakurudzirwa naMweya Mutsvene, ikakura pauwandu, ichirarama mukutya Ishe.
32 Now it happened, as Peter went through all those parts, that he also went down to the saints who were living in Lydda.
Petro paakanga achifamba achipota nenyika, akashanyira vatsvene muRidha.
33 And there he found a certain man named Aeneas who was paralyzed—he had been lying on a pallet for eight years.
Ikoko, akawana mumwe murume ainzi Eniasi akanga akaoma mutezo uye akanga achigara avete panhoo kwamakore masere.
34 Peter said to him: “Aeneas, Jesus the Messiah is healing you. Get up and make your bed!” And immediately he stood up!
Petro akati kwaari, “Eniasi, Jesu Kristu anokuporesa. Simuka uzvitakurire nhoo yako.” Pakarepo Eniasi akasimuka.
35 All who were living in Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.
Vose vaigara muRidha nomuSharoni vakamuona vakatendeukira kuna She.
36 Now there was a certain disciple in Joppa named Tabitha, which is translated Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and charitable deeds that she kept doing.
MuJopa maiva nomudzidzi ainzi Tabhita (kana zvichishandurwa, Dhokasi), aiita zvakanaka nguva dzose uye achibatsira varombo.
37 But it happened in those days that she took sick and died; so when they had washed her they placed her in the upper room.
Panguva inenge iyoyo akatanga kurwara ndokubva afa, mutumbi wake ukashambidzwa uye ukaiswa muimba yapamusoro.
38 Now Lydda was near Joppa; the disciples, having heard that Peter was there, sent to him imploring him not to delay in coming to them.
Ridha yakanga iri pedyo neJopa; saka vadzidzi vakati vanzwa kuti Petro akanga ari muRidha, vakatuma varume vaviri kwaari kuti vandomukumbira vachiti, “Tapota, uyai nokukurumidza!”
39 So Peter got up and went with them; upon arriving they took him up to the upper room; all the widows stood around him weeping and showing the coats and garments that Dorcas was making while she was with them.
Petro akaenda navo, uye akati asvika, vakamutora vakaenda naye muimba yapamusoro. Chirikadzi dzose dzakamira dzakamupoteredza, dzichichema dzichimuratidza majasi nedzimwe nguo dzakanga dzaitwa naDhokasi panguva yaakanga achinavo.
40 So Peter put them all out, kneeled down and prayed. Turning to the body he said, “Tabitha, get up!” So she opened her eyes, and upon seeing Peter she sat up.
Petro akavabudisa vose mumba; ipapo akapfugama namabvi ake akanyengetera. Akatendeukira kumukadzi akanga afa akati, “Tabhita, muka.” Iye akasvinura meso ake, uye akati aona Petro, akamuka akagara.
41 Then he gave her a hand and lifted her up, and calling the saints and widows he presented her alive.
Akamubata noruoko akamubatsira kuti amire netsoka dzake. Ipapo akadana vatendi nechirikadzi ndokubva amupa kwavari ari mupenyu.
42 And it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed on the Lord.
Izvi zvakazivikanwa muJopa yose, uye vanhu vazhinji vakatenda kuna She.
43 So it was that he stayed many days in Joppa with a certain Simon, a tanner.
Petro akambogara muJopa kwechinguva nomusuki wamatehwe ainzi Simoni.
