Acts 5
1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
Asi umwe murume wainzi Ananiasi, naSafira mukadzi wake, wakatengesa nhumbi dzake,
2 and kept back part of the price, his wife also having knowledge of it; and brought a certain part, and laid it at the feet of the apostles.
akazvisiira pamutengo, mukadzi wake achizivawo, akauya nechimwe chikamu, ndokuisa patsoka dzevaapositori.
3 But Peter said, Ananias, why did Satan fill thy heart that thou shouldst lie to the Holy Spirit, and keep back part of the price of the land?
Asi Petro wakati: Ananiasi, Satani wazadzirei moyo wako kuti ureve nhema kuMweya Mutsvene, nekuzvisiira pamutengo wemunda?
4 While it remained, was it not thine own? And after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? Why didst thou conceive this thing in thy heart? Thou didst not lie to men, but to God.
Uchiripo hauna kuramba uri wako here, watengeswa wakange usi musimba rako here? Sei waisa mumoyo mako chiito ichi? Hauna kureva nhema kuvanhu, asi kuna Mwari.
5 And Ananias, hearing these words, fell down, and expired. And great fear came on all that heard of it.
Zvino Ananiasi achinzwa mashoko awa, wakawira pasi, akapera; kutya kukuru ndokuwira pamusoro pevese vakanzwa zvinhu izvi.
6 And the young men arose, and wrapt him up, and carried him out, and buried him.
Nemajaya akasimuka akamuputira ndokutakurira kunze vakamuviga.
7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.
Zvino zvakaitika maawa anenge matatu apfuura, kuti mukadzi wake asingazivi zvaitika wakapinda.
8 Peter said to her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much. And she said, Yes, for so much.
Petro ndokumupindura akati: Ndiudze kana matengesa munda nezvakadai? Ndokuti: Hongu, nezvakadai.
9 And Peter said to her, Why is it that ye agreed together to try the Spirit of the Lord? Lo! the feet of those who have buried thy husband are at the door, and they will carry thee out.
Petro ndokuti kwaari: Sei matenderana kuedza Mweya waIshe? Tarira, tsoka dzevaviga murume wako pamukova, newe vachakutakurira kunze.
10 And she fell down immediately at his feet, and expired; and the young men, when they came in, found her dead, and carried her out, and buried her by her husband.
Ipapo akawira pasi pakarepo patsoka dzake, akapera; majaya akapinda akamuwana afa, akamutakurira kunze ndokuviga nechepamurume wake.
11 And great fear came upon all the church, and upon all that heard of these things.
Kutya kukuru ndokuwira pamusoro pekereke yese nepamusoro pevese vakanzwa zvinhu izvi.
12 And many signs and wonders were wrought among the people by the hands of the apostles; and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.
Uye nemaoko evaapositori kwakaitwa zviratidzo nezvishamiso zvizhinji pakati pevanhu; uye vese vaiva nemoyo umwe muberere raSoromoni.
13 But of the rest no one dared to join himself to them. But the people highly honored them;
Asi pavamwe kwakange kusina munhu wakashinga kuzvisanganisa kwavari; asi vanhu vaivakudza.
14 and more and more were believers added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women;
Uye vatendi vakanyanya kuwedzerwa kuna Ishe, zvaunga zvinoti zvevarume zvikati zvevakadzi.
15 so that in the streets they brought out the sick, and laid them on beds and couches, in order that at least the shadow of Peter, as he passed, might overshadow some of them.
Zvekuti vatakurira kunze varwere munzira dzemuguta, uye vakaradzika pamibhedha nepanhovo, kuti kana Petro achiuya, kunyange mumvuri udzikatire umwe wavo.
16 The multitude also belonging to the cities around came together to Jerusalem bringing the sick, and those plagued by unclean spirits; and they were all healed.
Zvino kwakaunganawo chaunga chemaguta akapoteredza kuJerusarema, vachitakura varwere, nevaitambudzwa nemweya yetsvina, vakaporeswa vese.
17 But the high-priest and all that were with him, which is the sect of the Sadducees, rose up and were filled with indignation,
Zvino mupristi mukuru akasimuka, nevese vaiva naye vari sangano reVaSadhusi, vakazara negodo,
18 and laid hands on the apostles, and put them in the public prison.
vakaisa maoko avo pavaapositori vakavaisa mutirongo revanhu vese.
19 But an angel of the Lord in the night opened the prison-doors, and brought them forth and said,
Asi mutumwa waIshe neusiku wakazarura mikova yetirongo akavabudisa akati:
20 Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.
Endai, mugomira muchitaura mutembere kuvanhu ese mashoko eupenyu uhu.
21 And hearing this, they went into the temple at daybreak and taught. But the high-priest and they that were with him came and called together the council, and all the elders of the sons of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
Zvino vakati vanzwa, vakapinda mutembere mangwanani-ngwanani vakadzidzisa. Asi mupristi mukuru wakasvika nevaiva naye, vakakokera dare remakurukota pamwe neungano yese yedare revakuru revana vaIsraeri, vakatumira mapurisa kutirongo kuti vauiswe.
22 But the officers that came did not find them in the prison; and they returned and brought word,
Asi mapurisa akati achisvika, akasavawana mutirongo; akadzoka akapira shoko,
23 saying, The prison we found shut in all security and the keepers standing at the doors: but when we opened them, we found no one within.
achiti: Tirongo zvirokwazvo takawana rakavharwa nekuchengetedzwa kwese, nevarindi vamire panze pamberi pemikova; asi tati tazarura, mukati hatina kuwana munhu.
24 And when the priest, and the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these words, they were at a loss concerning them, to what this would come.
Zvino mupristi nemutungamiriri wetembere nevapristi vakuru vakati vanzwa mashoko iwayo, vakasava nechokwadi pamusoro pavo, kuti izvi zvichazovei.
25 But one came and brought them word, Lo! the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people.
Zvino kwakasvika umwe akavaudza achiti: Tarirai, varume vamakaisa mutirongo vamire mutembere vachidzidzisa vanhu.
26 Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence, that they might not be stoned; for they feared the people.
Zvino mutungamiriri nemapurisa vakaenda vakauya navo kwete nesimba, nokuti vaitya vanhu kuti vasatakwa nemabwe.
27 And having brought them, they set them before the council. And the high-priest questioned them,
Vakati vavauisa vakavamisa pamberi pedare remakurukota. Mupristi mukuru ndokuvabvunza,
28 saying, We strictly commanded you not to teach in this name, and lo! ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and mean to bring this man's blood upon us.
achiti: Hatina kukurairisai kuti musadzidzisa nezita iri here? Zvino tarirai, mazadza Jerusarema nedzidziso yenyu, uye muchishuva kuuisa ropa remunhu uyu pamusoro pedu.
29 But Peter and the apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
Zvino Petro nevaapositori vakapindura vakati: Zvakafanira kuteerera Mwari kupfuura vanhu.
30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew by hanging him on a cross;
Mwari wemadzibaba edu wakamutsa Jesu, iye wamakauraya imwi, mukaremberedza pamuti.
31 him hath God exalted by his right hand, as a Leader and Saviour, to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
Iye uyu Mwari wakamusimudza neruoko rwake rwerudyi, ave Muvambi neMuponesi, kupa Israeri kutendeuka nekanganwiro yezvivi.
32 And we are his witnesses of these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit which God hath given to those who obey him.
Uye isu tiri zvapupu zvake zvezvinhu izvi, neMweya Mutsvenewo, Mwari waakapa avo vanomuteerera.
33 But when they heard this, they were filled with rage, and were resolving to kill them.
Zvino vakati vanzwa vakashatirwa kwazvo, vakarangana kuvauraya.
34 But there stood up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, in high esteem with all the people, and commanded to put the men forth a little while,
Ipapo kukasimuka umwe padare remakurukota, muFarisi wainzi Gamarieri, mudzidzisi wemurairo, waikudzwa nevanhu vese, akaraira kuti vaapositori vabudiswe chinguva chidiki.
35 and said to them [[of the council]], Men of Israel, take heed to yourselves as to what ye are about to do in respect to these men.
Ndokuti kwavari: Varume VaIsraeri, zvichenjererei maererano nevanhu ava, zvamoda kuita.
36 For before these days arose Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain, and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and came to nought.
Nokuti mazuva ano asati asvika kwakamuka Tudhasi, achiti iye pachake wakange ari munhu, uwandu hwevanhu hunenge mazana mana vakazvisanganisa naye; iye wakaurawa, nevese vaimuteerera neuwandu hwavo vakaparadzirwa, vakava pasina.
37 After this man arose Judas the Galilaean, in the days of the registering, and drew people away after him; he also perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.
Shure kweuyu kukamuka Judhasi muGarirea, pamazuva ekuverengwa, akakwevera vanhu vazhinji shure kwake; iyewo wakaparara, nevese vakamuteerera neuwandu hwavo vakaparadzirwa.
38 And now I say to you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone; for if this design or this work be of men, it will come to nought;
Zvino ikozvino ndinoti kwamuri: Sudurukai kuvanhu ava, muvarege, nokuti kana zano iri kana basa iri riri revanhu, richaparadzwa.
39 but if it be of God, ye will not be able to overthrow them; lest haply ye be found also fighting against God.
Asi kana zviri zvaMwari, hamugoni kuzviparadza; kuti zvimwe muwanikwe muchirwa naMwariwo.
40 And they were persuaded by him; and having called the apostles, they beat them, and commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and released them.
Vakamuteerera; uye vakati vadanira vaapositori kwavari vakavarova, vakavaraira kusataura muzita raJesu, vakavaregedza.
41 They therefore went away from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame in behalf of that name;
Naizvozvo vakabva pazviso zvedare remakurukota, vachifara kuti vakafanirwa nekuzvidzwa nekuda kwezita rake.
42 and every day, in the temple, and in houses, they ceased not to teach, and to publish the glad tidings concerning Jesus the Christ.
Uye mazuva ese mutembere nepaimba imwe neimwe havana kumira kudzidzisa nekuparidza Jesu Kristu.
