Acts 18
1 After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;
Shure kwezvinhu izvi Pauro wakabva paAtene akauya kuKorinde.
2 And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome: ) and came unto them.
Zvino akawana umwe muJudha wainzi Akwira, wePonto pakuberekwa (achangosvika kubva kuItaria), naPrisira mukadzi wake, nekuda kwekuraira kwaKiraudhio kuti VaJudha vese vabve kuRoma, akaenda kwavari;
3 And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.
zvino nokuti vakange vari vebasa rimwe, wakagara navo ndokushanda; nokuti vaiva vagadziri vematende pabasa.
4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
Zvino waiparidza sabata rimwe nerimwe musinagoge, achigombedzera VaJudha neVaGiriki.
5 And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Yahushua was the Messiah.
Zvino Sirasi naTimotio vakati vachiburuka kubva kuMakedhonia, Pauro wakamanikidzwa neMweya, akapupura kuVaJudha kuti Jesu ndiye Kristu.
6 And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.
Zvino vakati vachimupikisa nekutuka, akazunza nguvo, akati kwavari: Ropa renyu ngarive pamusoro penyu; ini ndakachena; kubva ikozvino ndichaenda kuvahedheni.
7 And he departed thence, and entered into a certain man's house, named Justus, one that worshipped YHWH, whose house joined hard to the synagogue.
Zvino wakabva ipapo akaenda kumba kweumwe wainzi Jusito, wainamata Mwari, imba yake yaiva yakabatana nesinagoge.
8 And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on Yahushua with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized.
NaKrisipo mutungamiriri wesinagoge wakatenda kuna Ishe neimba yake yese; nevazhinji veVaKorinde vakanzwa vakatenda uye vakabhabhatidzwa.
9 Then spake Yahushua to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:
Zvino Ishe wakataura kuna Pauro pausiku nechiratidzo: Usatya, asi taura uye usanyarara;
10 For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.
nokuti ini ndinewe, uye hapana angakumukira kuti akukuvadze; nokuti ndine vanhu vazhinji muguta rino.
11 And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of YHWH among them.
Zvino wakagara gore nemwedzi mitanhatu, achidzidzisa shoko raMwari pakati pavo.
12 And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat,
Zvino Gario wakati ava mutungamiriri weAkaya, VaJudha vakamukira Pauro nemoyo umwe, vakamuuisa pamberi pechigaro chekutonga,
13 Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship Elohim contrary to the law.
vachiti: Uyu anogombedzera vanhu kunamata Mwari zvinopesana nemurairo.
14 And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:
Zvino Pauro wakati oda kushamisa muromo, Gario akati kuVaJudha: Naizvozvo dai chaiva chinhu chezvisakarurama kana mhosva yakaipa, haiwa VaJudha, nechikonzero ichi ndaikuitirai nemoyo murefu;
15 But if it be a question of words and names, and of your law, look ye to it; for I will be no judge of such matters.
asi kana dziri nharo pamusoro peshoko nemazita, nemurairo wenyu pachenyu, zvionerei imwi; nokuti ini handidi kuva mutongi weizvozvo.
16 And he drave them from the judgment seat.
Ndokuvadzinga pachigaro chekutonga.
17 Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. And Gallio cared for none of those things.
Zvino VaGiriki vese vakabata Sositeni mutungamiriri wesinagoge, vakamurova pamberi pechigaro chekutonga. Asi Gario haana kuva nehanya nechinhu chimwe cheizvozvo.
18 And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow.
Pauro wakati achigere mazuva mazhinji, akaonekana nehama, akabvapo nechikepe akaenda kuSiriya, uye Prisira naAkwira vanaye, aveura musoro paKenikirea, nokuti wakange ane mhiko.
19 And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
Zvino wakasvika muEfeso, akavasiyapo; asi iye wakapinda musinagoge akataurirana neVaJudha.
20 When they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not;
Zvino vakati vamukumbira kugara navo nguva yakati rebei, haana kutenda;
21 But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto you, if YHWH will. And he sailed from Ephesus.
asi wakavaoneka achiti: Ndinofanira nenzira dzese kuchengetedza mutambo unouya muJerusarema; asi ndichadzokazve kwamuri, kana Mwari achida. Akabva paEfeso nechikepe.
22 And when he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up, and saluted the assembly, he went down to Antioch.
Zvino wakati asvika Kesariya, ndokukwira akakwazisa kereke, akaburukira kuAndiyokiya.
23 And after he had spent some time there, he departed, and went over all the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.
Zvino wakati ambopedza nguva, akabva, akagura nedunhu reGaratia neFrigia achitevedzanisa, achisimbisa vadzidzi vese.
24 And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.
Zvino umwe muJudha wainzi Aporo, muAreksandiria nekuberekwa, murume nyanzvi yekutaura, ane simba pamagwaro, wakasvika paEfeso.
25 This man was instructed in the way of YHWH; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of YHWH, knowing only the baptism of John.
Uyu wakange adzidziswa nzira yaIshe, uye waishingaira mumweya, achitaura nekunyatsodzidzisa zvinhu zvaIshe, achiziva rubhabhatidzo rwaJohwani chete;
26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of YHWH more perfectly.
iye ndokutanga kutaura asingatyi musinagoge. Zvino Prisira naAkwira vakati vamunzwa, vakamutora, vakanyatsomududzira nzira yaMwari nemazvo.
27 And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through favour:
Zvino wakati achida kuyambukira kuAkaya, hama dzakanyora dzichisimbisa vadzidzi kuti vamugamuchire; iye wakati achisvika akabatsira zvikuru avo vakatenda nenyasha;
28 For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Yahushua was the Messiah.
nokuti wakapwisa VaJudha nesimba pachena, achiratidza nemagwaro kuti Jesu ndiye Kristu.
