Acts 4
1 AND as they were thus speaking, the priests, and the captain of the temple-guard, and the Sadducees, came upon them,
Vaprista nomukuru wavarindi vetemberi navaSadhusi vakauya kuna Petro naJohani pavakanga vachiri kutaura navanhu.
2 worn down with vexation, because they taught the people, and preached by Jesus the resurrection of the dead.
Vakakanganisika zvikuru nokuti vapostori vakanga vachidzidzisa vanhu uye vachiparidza kumuka kwavakafa muna Jesu.
3 And they laid hands on them, and committed them to prison till the next day: for it was then evening.
Vakabata Petro naJohani, uye nokuda kwokuti aiva manheru, vakavaisa mujeri kusvikira zuva raitevera.
4 But many of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.
Asi vazhinji vakanzwa shoko vakatenda, uye varume vakasvika zviuru zvinenge zvishanu pauwandu.
5 Now it came to pass that the next morning, their rulers, and elders, and scribes, were assembled at Jerusalem,
Fume mangwana, vabati, vakuru navadzidzisi vomurayiro vakasangana muJerusarema.
6 and Annas the high-priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were the high-priest’s relations.
Anasi muprista mukuru aivapo, uye Kayafasi Johani, Arekizanda navamwe varume vemhuri yomuprista mukuru vaivapowo.
7 And placing them in the midst, they interrogated them, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this thing?
Vakaita kuti Petro naJohani vauyiswe pamberi pavo vakatanga kuvabvunza vachiti, “Makaita izvi nesimba raani kana kuti nezita raani?”
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
Ipapo Petro azere noMweya Mutsvene, akati kwavari, “Imi vabati nemi vakuru vavanhu,
9 if we are this day examined relative to the good deed done to the infirm man, by what means he was restored;
kana tadanwa nhasi nokuda kwebasa rakanaka rakaitwa kuchirema uye tichibvunzwa kuti akaporeswa sei,
10 be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarean, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him doth this man stand here sound in your presence.
zvino muzive izvi, imi navanhu vose veIsraeri kuti: Zvakaitwa nezita raJesu Kristu weNazareta, iye wamakaroverera pamuchinjikwa asi Mwari akamumutsa kubva kuvakafa, ndiye aita kuti murume uyu amire pamberi penyu apora kudai.
11 This is the stone which, though set at nought by you builders, is become the head of the corner.
Ndiye “‘ibwe ramakaramba imi vavaki, rakazova musoro wekona.’
12 And there is no salvation in any other person: for there is no other name under heaven given unto men, whereby we must be saved.
Ruponeso haruwanikwi kuna ani zvake, nokuti hakuna rimwe zita pasi pedenga rakapiwa kuvanhu ratingaponeswa naro.”
13 Attentively regarding then the noble confidence of Peter and John, and perceiving that they were men unlettered, and destitute of education, they were astonished; and they recollected them, that they had been with Jesus.
Vakati vachiona kusatya kwaPetro naJohani uye vachiziva kuti vakanga vasina kudzidza, vachingova vanhuwo zvavo, vakakatyamara uye vakarangarira kuti varume ava vaiva naJesu.
14 But seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they had not a word to reply in contradiction.
Asi vachiona murume akanga aporeswa amire navo ipapo, havana chavakagona kutaura.
15 But bidding them retire out of the council-chamber, they conferred among themselves,
Saka vakavarayira kuti vabve paDare Guru, uye ivo vakasara vachitaurirana.
16 saying, What shall we do with these men? for that an acknowledged miracle hath been wrought by them is evident to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.
Vakati, “Tichaita seiko navarume ava? Munhu wose anogara muJerusarema anoziva kuti vakaita chishamiso chikuru uye isu hatigoni kuzviramba.
17 But that it be no farther spread among the people, we will menace them with threats, no more to speak in this name to any man.
Asi kuti chinhu ichi chirege kuramba chichipararira pakati pavanhu, tinofanira kuyambira varume ava kuti varege kutaura kuna ani zvake muzita iri.”
18 So calling them in, they charged them not to speak in any manner, nor to teach, in the name of Jesus.
Ipapo vakavadanazve kuti vapinde ndokuvarayira kuti varege kutaura kana kutongodzidzisa muzita raJesu.
19 But Peter and John, answering them, said, If it be right in the sight of God to obey you rather than God, be yourselves the judges.
Asi Petro naJohani vakapindura vakati, “Tongai henyu imi kana zvakarurama pamberi paMwari kuti titeerere imi kupfuura Mwari.
20 For we cannot refrain from speaking the things which we have seen and heard.
Nokuti isu hatigoni kurega kutaura pamusoro pezvatakaona nezvatakanzwa.”
21 Then they with many additional threatenings dismissed them, finding no pretext how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for what had been done.
Shure kwokuvayambirazve vakavarega vakaenda. Havana kugona kufunga kuti vangavaranga sei, nokuti vanhu vose vakanga vachirumbidza Mwari pamusoro pezvakanga zvaitika.
22 For the man was more than forty years of age, upon whom this miracle of healing was performed.
Nokuti murume akanga aporeswa nechishamiso akanga ana makore anodarika makumi mana.
23 But they being dismissed, came unto their own friends, and told them all things which the high-priests and elders had said.
Vakati vasunungurwa, Petro naJohani vakadzokera kuvanhu vokwavo vakandovaudza zvose zvakanga zvarehwa navaprista vakuru navakuru.
24 Now when they heard it, they lifted up their united voice to God, and said, Lord, thou art the God which made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all things which are in them:
Vakati vanzwa izvi, vakasimudza manzwi pamwe chete kuna Mwari vakanyengetera vachiti, “Ishe Mwari, imi makaita denga nenyika negungwa, nezvose zvirimo.
25 who by the mouth of David thy servant saidst, Why do the heathen so furiously rage, and the people meditate vain things?
Makataura noMweya Mutsvene kubudikidza nomuromo womuranda wenyu, baba vedu Dhavhidhi, muchiti: “‘Ndudzi dzinoitireko hasha uye vanhu vanofungireiko zvisina maturo?
26 The kings of the earth rose up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord and against his Messiah.
Madzimambo enyika azvigadzirira uye vabati vanoungana pamwe chete kuzorwa naIshe uye noMuzodziwa Wake.’
27 For they have been in truth collected together against thy holy Son Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, even Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the heathen, and the people of Israel,
Zvirokwazvo Herodhi naPondiasi Pirato vakaungana pamwe chete neveDzimwe Ndudzi uye navanhu veIsraeri muguta rino kuzorangana kurwisa Jesu muranda wenyu mutsvene, iye wamakazodza.
28 to do all that thy hand and thy counsel predestined should come to pass.
Vakaita zvakanga zvatongwa nesimba renyu uye nokuda kwenyu kuti zvichaitika.
29 And as to the present transactions, Lord, look upon their threatnings: and grant thy servants power with all boldness to speak thy word,
Zvino, Ishe, tarirai kutyisidzira kwavo mugobatsira varanda venyu kuti vataure shoko renyu nokushinga kukuru.
30 by stretching out thy hand for healing; and that signs and miracles may be performed by the name of thy holy child Jesus.
Tambanudzai ruoko rwenyu kuti muporese uye muite zviratidzo nezvishamiso kubudikidza nezita raJesu muranda wenyu mutsvene.”
31 And while they were praying, the place in which they were assembled was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.
Shure kwokunge vanyengetera, nzvimbo yavakanga vakaungana pairi yakazungunuswa. Uye vose vakazadzwa noMweya Mutsvene vakataura shoko raMwari vasingatyi.
32 And in the multitude of those that believed there was one heart and soul: and not one person said, that any part of his substance was his peculiar property; but all things were in common among them.
Vatendi vose vakanga vano mwoyo mumwe nendangariro imwe. Hakuna aiti chimwe chezvaaiva nazvo ndechake oga, asi vakagovana zvose zvavakanga vanazvo.
33 And with great power bore the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.
Vapostori vakaramba vachipupura nesimba kumuka kwaIshe Jesu, uye nyasha huru dzaiva pamusoro pavo.
34 Neither was there any person in want among them: for as many as were possessors of fields or houses disposed of them, and brought the prices of the things sold,
Pakanga pasina vanoshayiwa pakati pavo. Nokuti nguva nenguva vaya vakanga vane minda kana dzimba vakazvitengesa, vakauyisa mari yezvavakatengesa
35 and laid them at the apostles’ feet: and a distribution was made to every one according as he had need.
vakazviisa patsoka dzavapostori, uye yakagoverwa kuna ani zvake sokushayiwa kwake.
36 And Joses, who was surnamed Barnabas by the apostles, (which is, being interpreted, A son of consolation, ) a Levite, a Cyprian by birth,
Josefa, muRevhi aibva kuSaipurasi, uyo akatumidzwa navapostori kunzi Bhanabhasi (kureva kuti Mwanakomana woKukurudzira),
37 having a field belonging to him, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
akatengesa munda wake akauya nemari akaiisa pamberi pavapostori.
