Acts 4
1 And as they are speaking to the people, there came to them the priests, and the magistrate of the temple, and the Sadducees—
Vaprista nomukuru wavarindi vetemberi navaSadhusi vakauya kuna Petro naJohani pavakanga vachiri kutaura navanhu.
2 being grieved because of their teaching the people, and preaching in Jesus the resurrection out of the dead—
Vakakanganisika zvikuru nokuti vapostori vakanga vachidzidzisa vanhu uye vachiparidza kumuka kwavakafa muna Jesu.
3 and they laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was evening already;
Vakabata Petro naJohani, uye nokuda kwokuti aiva manheru, vakavaisa mujeri kusvikira zuva raitevera.
4 and many of those hearing the word believed, and the number of the men became, as it were, five thousand.
Asi vazhinji vakanzwa shoko vakatenda, uye varume vakasvika zviuru zvinenge zvishanu pauwandu.
5 And it came to pass the next day, there were gathered together of them the rulers, and elders, and scribes, to Jerusalem,
Fume mangwana, vabati, vakuru navadzidzisi vomurayiro vakasangana muJerusarema.
6 and Annas the chief priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the family of the chief priest,
Anasi muprista mukuru aivapo, uye Kayafasi Johani, Arekizanda navamwe varume vemhuri yomuprista mukuru vaivapowo.
7 and having set them in the midst, they were inquiring, “In what power, or in what name did you do this?”
Vakaita kuti Petro naJohani vauyiswe pamberi pavo vakatanga kuvabvunza vachiti, “Makaita izvi nesimba raani kana kuti nezita raani?”
8 Then Peter, having been filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: “Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
Ipapo Petro azere noMweya Mutsvene, akati kwavari, “Imi vabati nemi vakuru vavanhu,
9 if we are examined today concerning the good deed to the ailing man, by whom he has been saved,
kana tadanwa nhasi nokuda kwebasa rakanaka rakaitwa kuchirema uye tichibvunzwa kuti akaporeswa sei,
10 be it known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised out of the dead, in Him has this one stood by before you whole.
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 that was set at nothing by you—the builders, that became head of a corner;
Ndiye “‘ibwe ramakaramba imi vavaki, rakazova musoro wekona.’
12 and there is not salvation in any other, for there is no other name under Heaven that has been given among men, in which it is required of us to be saved.”
Ruponeso haruwanikwi kuna ani zvake, nokuti hakuna rimwe zita pasi pedenga rakapiwa kuvanhu ratingaponeswa naro.”
13 And beholding the openness of Peter and John, and having perceived that they are illiterate men and commoners, they were wondering—they were also taking knowledge of 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 and seeing the man standing with them who has been healed, they had nothing to say against [it],
Asi vachiona murume akanga aporeswa amire navo ipapo, havana chavakagona kutaura.
15 and having commanded them to go away out of the Sanhedrin, they took counsel with one another,
Saka vakavarayira kuti vabve paDare Guru, uye ivo vakasara vachitaurirana.
16 saying, “What will we do to these men? Because that, indeed, a notable sign has been done through them [is] apparent to all those dwelling in Jerusalem, and we are not able to deny [it];
Vakati, “Tichaita seiko navarume ava? Munhu wose anogara muJerusarema anoziva kuti vakaita chishamiso chikuru uye isu hatigoni kuzviramba.
17 but that it may spread no further toward the people, let us strictly threaten them to no longer 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 And having called them, they charged them not to speak at all, nor to teach, in the Name of Jesus,
Ipapo vakavadanazve kuti vapinde ndokuvarayira kuti varege kutaura kana kutongodzidzisa muzita raJesu.
19 and Peter and John answering to them said, “Whether it is righteous before God to listen to you rather than to God, judge;
Asi Petro naJohani vakapindura vakati, “Tongai henyu imi kana zvakarurama pamberi paMwari kuti titeerere imi kupfuura Mwari.
20 for we cannot but speak what we saw and heard.”
Nokuti isu hatigoni kurega kutaura pamusoro pezvatakaona nezvatakanzwa.”
21 And they having further threatened [them], let them go, finding no way how they may punish them, because of the people, because all were glorifying God for that which has been done,
Shure kwokuvayambirazve vakavarega vakaenda. Havana kugona kufunga kuti vangavaranga sei, nokuti vanhu vose vakanga vachirumbidza Mwari pamusoro pezvakanga zvaitika.
22 for above forty years of age was the man on whom had been done this sign of the healing.
Nokuti murume akanga aporeswa nechishamiso akanga ana makore anodarika makumi mana.
23 And being let go, they went to their own friends, and declared whatever the chief priests and the elders said to them,
Vakati vasunungurwa, Petro naJohani vakadzokera kuvanhu vokwavo vakandovaudza zvose zvakanga zvarehwa navaprista vakuru navakuru.
24 and they having heard, lifted up the voice to God with one accord and said, “LORD, You [are] God, who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all that [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, through the mouth of Your servant David, said, Why did nations rage, and peoples 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 stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the LORD and against His Christ;
Madzimambo enyika azvigadzirira uye vabati vanoungana pamwe chete kuzorwa naIshe uye noMuzodziwa Wake.’
27 for gathered together of a truth against Your holy child Jesus, whom You anointed, were both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with nations and peoples 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 whatever Your hand and Your counsel determined before to come to pass.
Vakaita zvakanga zvatongwa nesimba renyu uye nokuda kwenyu kuti zvichaitika.
29 And now, LORD, look on their threatenings, and grant to Your servants to speak Your word with all freedom,
Zvino, Ishe, tarirai kutyisidzira kwavo mugobatsira varanda venyu kuti vataure shoko renyu nokushinga kukuru.
30 in the stretching forth of Your hand, for healing, and signs, and wonders, to come to pass through the Name of Your holy child Jesus.”
Tambanudzai ruoko rwenyu kuti muporese uye muite zviratidzo nezvishamiso kubudikidza nezita raJesu muranda wenyu mutsvene.”
31 And they having prayed, the place was shaken in which they were gathered together, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and were speaking the word of God with freedom,
Shure kwokunge vanyengetera, nzvimbo yavakanga vakaungana pairi yakazungunuswa. Uye vose vakazadzwa noMweya Mutsvene vakataura shoko raMwari vasingatyi.
32 and of the multitude of those who believed, the heart and the soul were one, and not one was saying that anything of the things he had was his own, but all things were in common to 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 the apostles were giving the testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, great grace was also on them all,
Vapostori vakaramba vachipupura nesimba kumuka kwaIshe Jesu, uye nyasha huru dzaiva pamusoro pavo.
34 for there was not anyone among them who lacked, for as many as were possessors of fields, or houses, selling [them], were bringing the prices of the thing sold,
Pakanga pasina vanoshayiwa pakati pavo. Nokuti nguva nenguva vaya vakanga vane minda kana dzimba vakazvitengesa, vakauyisa mari yezvavakatengesa
35 and were laying them at the feet of the apostles, and distribution was being made to each according as anyone had need.
vakazviisa patsoka dzavapostori, uye yakagoverwa kuna ani zvake sokushayiwa kwake.
36 And Joses, who was surnamed by the apostles Barnabas—which is, having been interpreted, Son of Comfort—a Levite, of Cyprus by birth,
Josefa, muRevhi aibva kuSaipurasi, uyo akatumidzwa navapostori kunzi Bhanabhasi (kureva kuti Mwanakomana woKukurudzira),
37 a field being his, having sold [it], brought the money and laid [it] at the feet of the apostles.
akatengesa munda wake akauya nemari akaiisa pamberi pavapostori.
