Acts 13
1 Now there were at Antioch, in the church that was [there], prophets and teachers, Barnabas, and Symeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen the foster-brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
Mukereke yapaAndioki maiva navaprofita navadzidzisi vaiti: Bhanabhasi, Simeoni ainzi Nigeri, Rusiasi wokuSairini, Manaeni (akanga arerwa naHerodhi mubati) naSauro.
2 And as they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.
Pavakanga vachinamata Ishe uye vachitsanya, Mweya Mutsvene akati, “Nditsaurirei Bhanabhasi naSauro kuti vabate basa randakavadanira.”
3 Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
Saka vakati vapedza kutsanya nokunyengetera, vakaisa maoko avo pamusoro pavo vakavatuma.
4 So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, went down to Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
Ava vaviri vakati vatumwa naMweya Mutsvene parwendo rwavo, vakaburuka vakaenda kuSerusia, vakazobvako vakakwira chikepe ndokuenda kuSaipurasi.
5 And when they were at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John as their attendant.
Vakati vasvika paSaramisi, vakaparidza shoko raMwari musinagoge ravaJudha. Johani akanga achivabatsira.
6 And when they had gone through the whole island unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-Jesus;
Vakafamba nomuchiwi chose kudzamara vasvika kuPafosi. Vakasangana neimwe nʼanga yechiJudha ikoko, uye akanga ari muprofita wenhema ainzi Bhari Jesu,
7 which was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. The same called unto him Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word of God.
akanga ari muchengeti womubati wenyika ainzi Segio Paurusi. Mubati akanga ari murume akachenjera, akadana Bhanabhasi naSauro nokuti aida kunzwa shoko raMwari.
8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn aside the proconsul from the faith.
Asi Erimasi nʼanga (nokuti ndizvo zvaireva zita rake) akavapikisa akaedza kutsausa mubati uyu pakutenda.
9 But Saul, who is also [called] Paul, filled with the Holy Ghost, fastened his eyes on him,
Ipapo Sauro akanga achinziwo Pauro, azere noMweya Mutsvene akatarisisa Erimasi akati,
10 and said, O full of all guile and all villany, thou son of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
“Iwe uri mwana wadhiabhori nomuvengi wezvinhu zvose zvakarurama! Uzere nokunyengera kwose namano akaipa. Hausi kuzorega here kumonyorotsa nzira dzakarurama dzaShe?
11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.
Zvino ruoko rwaShe rwava pamusoro pako. Uchava bofu, uye uchatadza kuona chiedza chezuva kwechinguva.” Pakarepo mhute nerima zvakauya pamusoro pake, akadzivaira pose pose achitsvaka mumwe munhu angamutungamirira.
12 Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
Mubati akati aona zvakanga zvaitika akatenda nokuti akashamiswa nedzidziso yezvaShe.
13 Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos, and came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.
Vachibva paPafosi, Pauro navanhu vaaifamba navo vakakwira chikepe vakaenda kuPega muPamufiria, uye vava ikoko Johani akavasiya akadzokera kuJerusarema.
14 But they, passing through from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia; and they went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.
Vachibva kuPega vakapfuurira kuAndioki yePisidhia. Nomusi weSabata vakapinda musinagoge vakasvikogara pasi.
15 And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.
Mushure mokuverengwa kwoMurayiro naVaprofita, vabati vomusinagoge vakatuma shoko kwavari vachiti, “Hama, kana mune shoko rokukuridzira vanhu, tapota taurai henyu.”
16 And Paul stood up, and beckoning with the hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, hearken.
Ipapo Pauro akasimuka, akaninira noruoko rwake akati, “Varume veIsraeri nemi mose vedzimwe ndudzi vanonamata Mwari, nditeererei!
17 The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they sojourned in the land of Egypt, and with a high arm led he them forth out of it.
Mwari wavanhu veIsraeri akasarudza madzibaba edu; akaita kuti vanhu vabudirire panguva yavaigara muIjipiti, akavabudisa munyika iyo nesimba guru,
18 And for about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness.
akava nomwoyo murefu namaitiro avo kwamakore anenge makumi mana vari mugwenga,
19 And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave [them] their land for an inheritance, for about four hundred and fifty years:
akakunda ndudzi nomwe muKenani akapa nyika yavo kuvanhu vake kuti ive nhaka yavo.
20 and after these things he gave [them] judges until Samuel the prophet.
Izvi zvakatora makore anenge mazana mana namakumi mashanu. “Shure kwaizvozvi, Mwari akavapa vatongi kusvikira panguva yaSamueri muprofita.
21 And afterward they asked for a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for the space of forty years.
Ipapo vanhu vakakumbira mambo, akavapa Sauro mwanakomana waKishi, worudzi rwaBhenjamini, uyo akatonga kwamakore makumi mana.
22 And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king; to whom also he bare witness, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who shall do all my will.
Shure kwokunge abvisa Sauro, akagadza Dhavhidhi kuti ave mambo wavo. Iye akapupura pamusoro pake achiti, ‘Ndawana Dhavhidhi mwanakomana waJese murume wapamwoyo pangu; iye achaita zvinhu zvose zvandinoda kuti aite.’
23 Of this man’s seed hath God according to promise brought unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus;
“Kubva kuzvizvarwa zvomurume uyu Mwari akavigira vaIsraeri Muponesi Jesu, sezvaakanga avimbisa.
24 when John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
Jesu asati auya, Johani akaparidza kutendeuka norubhabhatidzo kuvanhu vose veIsraeri.
25 And as John was fulfilling his course, he said, What suppose ye that I am? I am not [he]. But behold, there cometh one after me, the shoes of whose feet I am not worthy to unloose.
Johani paakanga ava kupedzisa basa rake, akati, ‘Munofunga kuti ndini ani? Handizi iye uya. Kwete, asi iye ari kuuya shure kwangu, ndiye wandisingakodzeri kusunungura shangu dzake.’
26 Brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you that fear God, to us is the word of this salvation sent forth.
“Hama dzangu, vana vaAbhurahama nemi vedzimwe ndudzi vanotya Mwari, shoko iri roruponeso rakatumirwa kwatiri.
27 For they that dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath, fulfilled [them] by condemning [him].
Vanhu veJerusarema navatongi vavo havana kuziva Jesu, asi pakumupa mhaka kwavo vakazadzisa mashoko avaprofita anoverengwa Sabata rimwe nerimwe.
28 And though they found no cause of death [in him], yet asked they of Pilate that he should be slain.
Kunyange vasina kuwana hwaro chaihwo hwokuti atongerwe rufu, vakakumbira Pirato kuti amuuraye.
29 And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a tomb.
Vakati vapedza zvose zvakanga zvakanyorwa pamusoro pake, vakamuburutsa pamuti vakamuradzika muguva.
30 But God raised him from the dead:
Asi Mwari akamumutsa kubva kuvakafa,
31 and he was seen for many days of them that came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses unto the people.
uye akaonekwa mazuva mazhinji naavo vakafamba naye kubva kuGarirea kusvikira kuJerusarema. Ndivo zvapupu zvake zvino kuvanhu vokwedu.
32 And we bring you good tidings of the promise made unto the fathers,
“Tiri kukuudzai nhau dzakanaka kuti: Zvakavimbiswa madzibaba edu naMwari,
33 how that God hath fulfilled the same unto our children, in that he raised up Jesus; as also it is written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
akazvizadzisa kwatiri isu, vana vavo, nokumutsa Jesu kubva kuvakafa. Sezvazvakanyorwa muPisarema rechipiri zvichinzi: “‘Ndiwe Mwanakomana wangu; nhasi ndava baba vako.’
34 And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he hath spoken on this wise, I will give you the holy and sure [blessings] of David.
Chokwadi chokuti Mwari akamumutsa kubva kuvakafa, akasazomboora, chinotaurwa mumashoko aya anoti: “‘Ndichakupa maropafadzo matsvene, uye echokwadi akavimbiswa kuna Dhavhidhi.’
35 Because he saith also in another [psalm], Thou wilt not give thy Holy One to see corruption.
Nokudaro zvinotaurwa pane rimwe pisarema kuti: “‘Hamungaregi Mutsvene wenyu achiona kuora.’
36 For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:
“Nokuti Dhavhidhi akati aita kuda kwaMwari pamazuva ake, akavata; akavigwa namadzibaba ake uye muviri wake wakaora.
37 but he whom God raised up saw no corruption.
Asi uyo akamutswa naMwari haana kuona kuora.
38 Be it known unto you therefore, brethren, that through this man is proclaimed unto you remission of sins:
“Naizvozvo, hama dzangu, ndinoda kuti muzive kuti kubudikidza naJesu, kukanganwirwa kwezvivi kunoparidzwa kwamuri.
39 and by him every one that believeth is justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
Kubudikidza naye munhu wose anotenda anoruramiswa pazvinhu zvose zvamanga musingagoni kururamiswa pazviri nomurayiro waMozisi.
40 Beware therefore, lest that come upon [you], which is spoken in the prophets;
Chenjerai kuti zvakataurwa navaprofita zvirege kuitika kwamuri, zvinoti:
41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish; For I work a work in your days, A work which ye shall in no wise believe, if one declare it unto you.
“‘Tarirai imi vaseki, mushamiswe uye muparare, nokuti ndiri kuzoita chimwe chinhu pamazuva enyu chamusingazombotendi, kunyange dai mumwe munhu akakuudzai.’”
42 And as they went out, they besought that these words might be spoken to them the next sabbath.
Pauro naBhanabhasi vava kubuda musinagoge, vanhu vakavakoka kuti vazotaurazve pamusoro pezvinhu izvi paSabata raizotevera.
43 Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.
Gungano rakati rapararira, vazhinji vavaJudha navamwe vakanga vatendeukira kuchiJudha vakatevera Pauro naBhanabhasi, ivo vakataura navo uye vakavakurudzira kuti varambe vari munyasha dzaMwari.
44 And the next sabbath almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God.
PaSabata rakatevera rinenge guta rose rakaungana kuzonzwa shoko raShe.
45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.
VaJudha vakati vaona vanhu vazhinji, vakazadzwa negodo vakataura zvakaipa pamusoro pezvakanga zvichitaurwa naPauro.
46 And Paul and Barnabas spake out boldly, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you. Seeing ye thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
Ipapo Pauro naBhanabhasi vakavapindura vasingatyi vakati, “Zvanga zvakafanira kuti titaure shoko raMwari kwamuri imi kutanga. Sezvo mariramba uye mukasazviona savanhu vakafanira upenyu husingaperi, tava kuenda zvino kune veDzimwe Ndudzi. (aiōnios g166)
47 For so hath the Lord commanded us, [saying], I have set thee for a light of the Gentiles, That thou shouldest be for salvation unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Nokuti izvi ndizvo zvakarayirwa kwatiri naShe achiti: “‘Ndakakuitai chiedza kune veDzimwe Ndudzi, kuti muvigire migumo yenyika ruponeso.’”
48 And as the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of God: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. (aiōnios g166)
VeDzimwe Ndudzi vakati vanzwa izvozvo, vakafara uye vakakudza shoko raShe; uye vose vakanga vakatarirwa upenyu husingaperi vakatenda. (aiōnios g166)
49 And the word of the Lord was spread abroad throughout all the region.
Shoko raShe rakapararira mudunhu rose.
50 But the Jews urged on the devout women of honourable estate, and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and cast them out of their borders.
Asi vaJudha vakakurudzira vakadzi vaitya Mwari uye vaikudzikana navarume vairemekedzwa veguta, vakamutsira Pauro naBhanabhasi kutambudzwa, uye vakavadzinga mudunhu ravo.
51 But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium.
Saka vakazunza guruva patsoka dzavo vachiratidza kusafara pamusoro pavo ndokubva vaenda kuIkoniamu.
52 And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Ghost.
Uye vadzidzi vakazadzwa nomufaro uye noMweya Mutsvene.
