Acts 21
1 And when it came to pass that we were parted from them, and had set sail, we came with a straight course unto Cos, and the next day unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:
Zvino zvakaitika kuti tichibva nechikepe taparadzana navo, takafamba nenzira yakarurama tikasvika muKose, neraitevera muRodhe, tikabvapo tikasvika Patara;
2 and having found a ship crossing over unto Phoenicia, we went aboard, and set sail.
ndokuti tawana chikepe chaiyambukira kuFonisiya, takapinda tikaenda nechikepe.
3 And when we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed unto Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden.
Takati tabudikira Saipuresi, ndokuisiya kuruoko rweruboshwe, tikaenda kuSiriya nechikepe, tikamhara paTire; nokuti chikepe chaifanira kututunura mutoro ipapo;
4 And having found the disciples, we tarried there seven days: and these said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not set foot in Jerusalem.
zvino takati tawana vadzidzi, tikagarapo mazuva manomwe; ivo vakati neMweya kuna Pauro, arege kukwira kuJerusarema.
5 And when it came to pass that we had accomplished the days, we departed and went on our journey; and they all, with wives and children, brought us on our way, till we were out of the city: and kneeling down on the beach, we prayed,
Zvino zvakaitika kuti takapedza mazuva, tikabva tikaenda, vese vakatiperekedza nevakadzi nevana kusvikira kunze kweguta; zvino takafugama nemabvi pamahombekombe tikanyengetera.
6 and bade each other farewell; and we went on board the ship, but they returned home again.
Zvino tawonekana, takapinda muchikepe, asi ivo vakadzokera kwavo.
7 And when we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais; and we saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.
Asi isu takati tapedza rwendo nechikepe kubva kuTire, takasvika kuPitoremai, tikakwazisa hama tikagara navo zuva rimwe.
8 And on the morrow we departed, and came unto Caesarea: and entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, we abode with him.
Chifume isu taiva naPauro takabva tikasvika kuKesariya; ndokupinda mumba maFiripi muevhangeri, waiva umwe wevanomwe, tikagara naye.
9 Now this man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.
Uyuwo wakange ane vakunda vana, mhandara dzaiporofita.
10 And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus.
Zvino takati tagara mazuva mazhinji, kwakaburuka kubva kuJudhiya umwe muporofita wainzi Agabhusi,
11 And coming to us, and taking Paul’s girdle, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
ndokusvika kwatiri, akatora bhanhire raPauro, akazvisunga maoko nemakumbo ake, akati: Mweya Mutsvene anoreva izvi: Murume bhanhire iri riri rake, VaJudha paJerusarema vachamusunga saizvozvi, nekumukumikidza mumaoko evahedheni.
12 And when we heard these things, both we and they of that place besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.
Zvino takati tanzwa zvinhu izvi tese isu nevenzvimbo iyo tikakumbirisa kuti arege kukwira kuJerusarema.
13 Then Paul answered, What do ye, weeping and breaking my heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
Asi Pauro wakapindura akati: Munoitei muchichema nekuputsa moyo wangu? Nokuti ini ndakagadzirira, kwete kusungwa chete, asi nekufa paJerusarema nekuda kwezita raIshe Jesu.
14 And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
Zvino wakati asingapwiswi, takanyarara tikati: Chido chaIshe ngachiitwe.
15 And after these days we took up our baggage, and went up to Jerusalem.
Zvino shure kwemazuva iwayo takarongedza, tikakwira kuJerusarema.
16 And there went with us also [certain] of the disciples from Caesarea, bringing [with them] one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we should lodge.
Nevamwewo vevadzidzi veKesariya vakaenda nesu, vakauya neumwe Minasoni weSaipuresi, mudzidzi wekare, watainogara naye.
17 And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
Zvino takati tichisvika kuJerusarema, hama dzakatigamuchira nemufaro.
18 And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.
Chifume Pauro wakapinda nesu kuna Jakobho, nevakuru vese vakange varipo.
19 And when he had saluted them, he rehearsed one by one the things which God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.
Zvino wakati avakwazisa, wakarondedzera chimwe nechimwe chezvinhu Mwari chaakaita pakati pevahedheni neshumiro yake.
20 And they, when they heard it, glorified God; and they said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of them which have believed; and they are all zealous for the law:
Ivo vakati vachizvinzwa, vakakudza Ishe; vakati kwaari: Unoona, hama, kuti zvuru zvingani zveVaJudha vanotenda; uye vese vanoshingairira murairo;
21 and they have been informed concerning thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.
zvino vakaudzwa nezvako, kuti unodzidzisa VaJudha vese vari pakati pevahedheni kuti vasiye Mozisi, uchiti varege kudzingisa vana, kana kufamba netsika.
22 What is it therefore? they will certainly hear that thou art come.
Ko zvino chii? Zvirokwazvo zvakafanira kuti chaunga chiungane; nokuti vachanzwa kuti wasvika.
23 Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them;
Naizvozvo ita izvi zvatinoreva kwauri; tine varume vana vane mhiko pamusoro pavo;
24 these take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges for them, that they may shave their heads: and all shall know that there is no truth in the things whereof they have been informed concerning thee; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, keeping the law.
vatore pamwe newe, uzvichenure pamwe navo, uye uripe muripo wavo, kuti vaveure musoro, kuti vese vazive kuti zvavakaudzwa maererano newe hapana zviripo, asi iwewo pachako unofamba zvakarurama uchichengeta murairo.
25 But as touching the Gentiles which have believed, we wrote, giving judgment that they should keep themselves from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from fornication.
Asi maererano nevahedheni vanotenda isu tanyora, tikatema kuti vasachengeta chinhu chakadai, kunze kwekuti vazvidzore pane zvakabairwa zvifananidzo, neropa nezvakadzipwa neupombwe.
26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them went into the temple, declaring the fulfillment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every one of them.
Ipapo Pauro wakatora varume avo, zuva raitevera akazvichenura pamwe navo, akapinda mutembere kupira kupera kwemazuva ekunatswa, kusvikira kwabairwa chibairo cheumwe neumwe wavo.
27 And when the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the multitude, and laid hands on him,
Zvino mazuva manomwe akati opera, VaJudha vaibva kuAsia pavakamuona mutembere, vakamutsa chaunga chese, ndokuisa maoko kwaari.
28 crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place: and moreover he brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath defiled this holy place.
Vakadanidzira, vachiti: Varume VaIsraeri, batsirai! Uyu ndiye munhu anodzidzisa vese kwese-kwese zvinopesana nevanhu, nemurairo, nenzvimbo ino; pamusoro pazvo anouisa VaGirikiwo mutembere, ndokusvibisa nzvimbo ino tsvene.
29 For they had before seen with him in the city Trophimus the Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.
Nokuti vakange vamboona Trofimo muEfeso anaye muguta, wavaifunga kuti Pauro wamupinza mutembere.
30 And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they laid hold on Paul, and dragged him out of the temple: and straightway the doors were shut.
Neguta rese rakanyonganiswa; vanhu vakamhanyira pamwe; vakabata Pauro, vakamukwevera kunze kwetembere; mikova ikazarirwa pakarepo.
31 And as they were seeking to kill him, tidings came up to the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in confusion.
Zvino vakati vachitsvaka kumuuraya, shoko rikakwira kumukuru wechuru wehondo, kuti Jerusarema rese ranyonganiswa.
32 And forthwith he took soldiers and centurions, and ran down upon them: and they, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, left off beating Paul.
Iye pakarepo akatora mauto nevakuru vezana, akaburuka achimhanyira kwavari; ivo vakati vachiona mukuru wechuru chemazana nemauto, vakarega kurova Pauro.
33 Then the chief captain came near, and laid hold on him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and inquired who he was, and what he had done.
Zvino mukuru wechuru chemazana wakaswedera, akamubata, ndokuraira kuti asungwe nemaketani maviri, akabvunza kuti waiva ani, uye kuti waitei.
34 And some shouted one thing, some another, among the crowd: and when he could not know the certainty for the uproar, he commanded him to be brought into the castle.
Zvino vamwe pakati pevazhinji vakadanidzira chimwe vamwe chimwewo; zvino asingagoni kuziva chokwadi nekuda kwenyonga-nyonga, wakaraira kuti aiswe kuimba yemauto.
35 And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the crowd;
Zvino wakati asvika pamitanho, zvakaitika kuti atakurwe nemauto nekuda kwemhirizhonga yechaunga;
36 for the multitude of the people followed after, crying out, Away with him.
nokuti chaunga chevanhu chakatevera chichidanidzira chichiti: Mubvise!
37 And as Paul was about to be brought into the castle, he saith unto the chief captain, May I say something unto thee? And he said, Dost thou know Greek?
Pauro wakati oda kupinzwa muimba yemauto akati kumukuru wechuru: Zvinotenderwa here kuti nditaure chinhu kwauri? Iye ndokuti: Unoziva chiGiriki here?
38 Art thou not then the Egyptian, which before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?
Ko iwe hausi uya muEgipita wakamutsa bongozozo mazuva ano asati asvika here, akatungamirira kurenje zvuru zvina zvevarume vaiva mhondi?
39 But Paul said, I am a Jew, of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and I beseech thee, give me leave to speak unto the people.
Asi Pauro wakati: Ini ndiri munhu muJudha, weTaso yeKirikia, mugari weguta risina kureruka. Zvino ndinokukumbirai, nditenderei kutaura kuvanhu.
40 And when he had given him leave, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with the hand unto the people; and when there was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew language, saying,
Zvino wakati amutendera, Pauro wakamira pamitanho akaninira kuvanhu neruoko; zvino kwakati kwanyarara kwazvo, akataura kwavari nerurimi rwechiHebheru achiti:
