Acts 21
1 And as we launched forth, and were departed from them, we came with a straight course vnto Coos, and the day following vnto the Rhodes, and from thence vnto Patara.
Zvino zvakaitika kuti tichibva nechikepe taparadzana navo, takafamba nenzira yakarurama tikasvika muKose, neraitevera muRodhe, tikabvapo tikasvika Patara;
2 And we found a ship that went ouer vnto Phenice, and went aboard, and set forth.
ndokuti tawana chikepe chaiyambukira kuFonisiya, takapinda tikaenda nechikepe.
3 And whe we had discouered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed toward Syria, and arriued at Tyrus: for there the ship vnladed ye burden.
Takati tabudikira Saipuresi, ndokuisiya kuruoko rweruboshwe, tikaenda kuSiriya nechikepe, tikamhara paTire; nokuti chikepe chaifanira kututunura mutoro ipapo;
4 And when we had found disciples, we taried there seuen dayes. And they told Paul through the Spirit, that he should not goe vp to Hierusalem.
zvino takati tawana vadzidzi, tikagarapo mazuva manomwe; ivo vakati neMweya kuna Pauro, arege kukwira kuJerusarema.
5 But when the dayes were ended, we departed and went our way, and they all accompanied vs with their wiues and children, euen out of the citie: and we kneeling downe on the shore, prayed.
Zvino zvakaitika kuti takapedza mazuva, tikabva tikaenda, vese vakatiperekedza nevakadzi nevana kusvikira kunze kweguta; zvino takafugama nemabvi pamahombekombe tikanyengetera.
6 Then when we had embraced one another, we tooke ship, and they returned home.
Zvino tawonekana, takapinda muchikepe, asi ivo vakadzokera kwavo.
7 And when we had ended the course from Tyrus, we arriued at Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.
Asi isu takati tapedza rwendo nechikepe kubva kuTire, takasvika kuPitoremai, tikakwazisa hama tikagara navo zuva rimwe.
8 And the next day, Paul and we that were with him, departed, and came vnto Cesarea: and we entred into the house of Philippe the Euangelist, which was one of the seuen Deacons, and abode with him.
Chifume isu taiva naPauro takabva tikasvika kuKesariya; ndokupinda mumba maFiripi muevhangeri, waiva umwe wevanomwe, tikagara naye.
9 Now he had foure daughters virgins, which did prophecie.
Uyuwo wakange ane vakunda vana, mhandara dzaiporofita.
10 And as we taried there many dayes, there came a certaine Prophet from Iudea, named Agabus.
Zvino takati tagara mazuva mazhinji, kwakaburuka kubva kuJudhiya umwe muporofita wainzi Agabhusi,
11 And when he was come vnto vs, he tooke Pauls girdle, and bound his owne hands and feete, and sayd, Thus sayth the holy Ghost, So shall the Iewes at Hierusalem binde the man that oweth this girdle, and shall deliuer him into the hands of the Gentiles.
ndokusvika kwatiri, akatora bhanhire raPauro, akazvisunga maoko nemakumbo ake, akati: Mweya Mutsvene anoreva izvi: Murume bhanhire iri riri rake, VaJudha paJerusarema vachamusunga saizvozvi, nekumukumikidza mumaoko evahedheni.
12 And when we had heard these things, both we and other of the same place besought him that he would not go vp to Hierusalem.
Zvino takati tanzwa zvinhu izvi tese isu nevenzvimbo iyo tikakumbirisa kuti arege kukwira kuJerusarema.
13 Then Paul answered, and sayd, What doe ye weeping and breaking mine heart? For I am ready not to be bound onely, but also to die at Hierusalem for the Name of the Lord Iesus.
Asi Pauro wakapindura akati: Munoitei muchichema nekuputsa moyo wangu? Nokuti ini ndakagadzirira, kwete kusungwa chete, asi nekufa paJerusarema nekuda kwezita raIshe Jesu.
14 So when he would not be perswaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
Zvino wakati asingapwiswi, takanyarara tikati: Chido chaIshe ngachiitwe.
15 And after those dayes we trussed vp our fardels, and went vp to Hierusalem.
Zvino shure kwemazuva iwayo takarongedza, tikakwira kuJerusarema.
16 There went with vs also certaine of the disciples of Cesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an olde disciple, with whome we should lodge.
Nevamwewo vevadzidzi veKesariya vakaenda nesu, vakauya neumwe Minasoni weSaipuresi, mudzidzi wekare, watainogara naye.
17 And when we were come to Hierusalem, the brethren receiued vs gladly.
Zvino takati tichisvika kuJerusarema, hama dzakatigamuchira nemufaro.
18 And the next day Paul went in with vs vnto Iames: and all the Elders were there assembled.
Chifume Pauro wakapinda nesu kuna Jakobho, nevakuru vese vakange varipo.
19 And when he had embraced them, hee tolde by order all things, that God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministration.
Zvino wakati avakwazisa, wakarondedzera chimwe nechimwe chezvinhu Mwari chaakaita pakati pevahedheni neshumiro yake.
20 So when they heard it, they glorified God, and sayd vnto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousand Iewes there are which beleeue, and they are all zealous of the Law:
Ivo vakati vachizvinzwa, vakakudza Ishe; vakati kwaari: Unoona, hama, kuti zvuru zvingani zveVaJudha vanotenda; uye vese vanoshingairira murairo;
21 Now they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Iewes, which are among the Gentiles, to forsake Moses, and sayest that they ought not to circumcise their sonnes, neither to liue after the customes.
zvino vakaudzwa nezvako, kuti unodzidzisa VaJudha vese vari pakati pevahedheni kuti vasiye Mozisi, uchiti varege kudzingisa vana, kana kufamba netsika.
22 What is then to be done? the multitude must needes come together: for they shall heare that thou art come.
Ko zvino chii? Zvirokwazvo zvakafanira kuti chaunga chiungane; nokuti vachanzwa kuti wasvika.
23 Doe therefore this that we say to thee. We haue foure men, which haue made a vowe,
Naizvozvo ita izvi zvatinoreva kwauri; tine varume vana vane mhiko pamusoro pavo;
24 Them take, and purifie thy selfe with them, and contribute with them, that they may shaue their heads: and all shall knowe, that those things, whereof they haue bene informed concerning thee, are nothing, but that thou thy selfe also walkest and keepest the Lawe.
vatore pamwe newe, uzvichenure pamwe navo, uye uripe muripo wavo, kuti vaveure musoro, kuti vese vazive kuti zvavakaudzwa maererano newe hapana zviripo, asi iwewo pachako unofamba zvakarurama uchichengeta murairo.
25 For as touching ye Gentiles, which beleeue, we haue written, and determined that they obserue no such thing, but that they keepe themselues from things offred to idoles, and from blood, and from that that is strangled, and from fornication.
Asi maererano nevahedheni vanotenda isu tanyora, tikatema kuti vasachengeta chinhu chakadai, kunze kwekuti vazvidzore pane zvakabairwa zvifananidzo, neropa nezvakadzipwa neupombwe.
26 Then Paul tooke the men, and the next day was purified with them, and entred into the Temple, declaring the accomplishment of the dayes of the purification, vntill that an offering should be offered for euery one of them.
Ipapo Pauro wakatora varume avo, zuva raitevera akazvichenura pamwe navo, akapinda mutembere kupira kupera kwemazuva ekunatswa, kusvikira kwabairwa chibairo cheumwe neumwe wavo.
27 And when the seuen dayes were almost ended, the Iewes which were of Asia (when they sawe him in the Temple) moued all the people, and laide hands on him,
Zvino mazuva manomwe akati opera, VaJudha vaibva kuAsia pavakamuona mutembere, vakamutsa chaunga chese, ndokuisa maoko kwaari.
28 Crying, Men of Israel, helpe: this is the man that teacheth all men euery where against the people, and the Lawe, and this place: moreouer, he hath brought Grecians into the Temple, and hath polluted this holy place.
Vakadanidzira, vachiti: Varume VaIsraeri, batsirai! Uyu ndiye munhu anodzidzisa vese kwese-kwese zvinopesana nevanhu, nemurairo, nenzvimbo ino; pamusoro pazvo anouisa VaGirikiwo mutembere, ndokusvibisa nzvimbo ino tsvene.
29 For they had seene before Trophimus an Ephesian with him in the citie, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the Temple.
Nokuti vakange vamboona Trofimo muEfeso anaye muguta, wavaifunga kuti Pauro wamupinza mutembere.
30 Then all the citie was moued, and the people ran together: and they tooke Paul and drewe him out of the Temple, and forth with the doores were shut.
Neguta rese rakanyonganiswa; vanhu vakamhanyira pamwe; vakabata Pauro, vakamukwevera kunze kwetembere; mikova ikazarirwa pakarepo.
31 But as they went about to kill him, tydings came vnto the chiefe captaine of the band, that all Hierusalem was on an vproare.
Zvino vakati vachitsvaka kumuuraya, shoko rikakwira kumukuru wechuru wehondo, kuti Jerusarema rese ranyonganiswa.
32 Who immediately tooke souldiers and Centurions, and ran downe vnto them: and when they sawe the chiefe Captaine and the souldiers, they left beating of Paul.
Iye pakarepo akatora mauto nevakuru vezana, akaburuka achimhanyira kwavari; ivo vakati vachiona mukuru wechuru chemazana nemauto, vakarega kurova Pauro.
33 Then the chiefe Captaine came neere and tooke him, and commanded him to be bound with two chaines, and demaunded who he was, and what he had done.
Zvino mukuru wechuru chemazana wakaswedera, akamubata, ndokuraira kuti asungwe nemaketani maviri, akabvunza kuti waiva ani, uye kuti waitei.
34 And one cryed this, another that, among the people. So when he could not know the certeintie for the tumult, he commanded him to be led into the castell.
Zvino vamwe pakati pevazhinji vakadanidzira chimwe vamwe chimwewo; zvino asingagoni kuziva chokwadi nekuda kwenyonga-nyonga, wakaraira kuti aiswe kuimba yemauto.
35 And when hee came vnto the grieces, it was so that he was borne of the souldiers, for the violence of the people.
Zvino wakati asvika pamitanho, zvakaitika kuti atakurwe nemauto nekuda kwemhirizhonga yechaunga;
36 For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with him.
nokuti chaunga chevanhu chakatevera chichidanidzira chichiti: Mubvise!
37 And as Paul should haue bene led into the castell, he sayd vnto the chiefe Captaine, May I speake vnto thee? Who sayd, Canst thou speake Greeke?
Pauro wakati oda kupinzwa muimba yemauto akati kumukuru wechuru: Zvinotenderwa here kuti nditaure chinhu kwauri? Iye ndokuti: Unoziva chiGiriki here?
38 Art not thou the Egyptian who before these dayes raised a sedition, and led out into the wildernesse foure thousande men that were murtherers?
Ko iwe hausi uya muEgipita wakamutsa bongozozo mazuva ano asati asvika here, akatungamirira kurenje zvuru zvina zvevarume vaiva mhondi?
39 Then Paul sayde, Doubtlesse, I am a man which am a Iewe, and citizen of Tarsus, a famous citie of Cilicia, and I beseech thee, suffer mee to speake vnto the people.
Asi Pauro wakati: Ini ndiri munhu muJudha, weTaso yeKirikia, mugari weguta risina kureruka. Zvino ndinokukumbirai, nditenderei kutaura kuvanhu.
40 And when he had giuen him licence, Paul stoode on the grieces, and beckened with the hand vnto the people: and when there was made great silence, hee spake vnto them in the Hebrewe tongue, saying,
Zvino wakati amutendera, Pauro wakamira pamitanho akaninira kuvanhu neruoko; zvino kwakati kwanyarara kwazvo, akataura kwavari nerurimi rwechiHebheru achiti:
