Acts 18
1 After these things, withdrawing from Athens, he came unto Corinth;
Shure kwaizvozvo, Pauro akabva paAtene akaenda kuKorinde.
2 and, finding a certain Jew, by name Aquila, of Pontus by birth, —lately come from Italy, and Priscilla his wife, because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to be leaving Rome, he came unto them,
Ikoko akandosangana nomuJudha ainzi Akwira chizvarwa chePondasi, akanga achangobva kuItari nomukadzi wake Pirisira, nokuti Kiraudhiyo akanga arayira kuti vaJudha vose vabve muRoma. Pauro akaenda kundomuona,
3 and, because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought, for they were tent-makers by their trade.
uye sezvo akanga ari mugadziri wamatende saivo, akagara navo achishanda pamwe chete navo.
4 And he began reasoning in the synagogue every sabbath, and was persuading both Jews and Greeks.
Sabata rimwe nerimwe akanga achitaurirana navo musinagoge, achiedza kugombedzera vaJudha navaGiriki.
5 When, however, both Silas and Timothy had come down from Macedonia, Paul began to be urged on in the word, bearing full witness unto the Jews that, Jesus, was, the Christ.
Sirasi naTimoti vakati vasvika vachibva kuMasedhonia, Pauro akazvipira kuti aparidze chete, achipupura kuvaJudha kuti Jesu ndiye Kristu.
6 But, as they began opposing and defaming, shaking out his garments, he said unto them—Your blood, be upon your own head! Pure, am, I: henceforth, unto the nations, will I go.
Asi vaJudha vakati vapikisana naPauro uye vachimutuka, akazunza nguo dzake asingafari akati kwavari, “Ropa renyu ngarive pamisoro yenyu! Ini ndakachena pabasa rangu. Kubva zvino ndichaenda kune veDzimwe Ndudzi.”
7 And, removing from thence, he came into the house of a certain man by name Titius Justus, who worshipped God, whose house was adjoining unto the synagogue.
Ipapo Pauro akabuda musinagoge akaenda kumba kwaTitiasi Jastasi munhu ainamata Mwari.
8 But, Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, with all his house. And, many of the Corinthians, hearing, were believing, and being immersed.
Krispasi mukuru wesinagoge, neimba yake yose vakatenda kuna She; uye vazhinji vavaKorinde vakamunzwa vakatenda uye vakabhabhatidzwa.
9 And the Lord said by night, through means of a vision, unto Paul—Be not afraid! but be speaking, —and do not hold thy peace;
Humwe usiku Ishe akataura naPauro muchiratidzo akati, “Usatya; ramba uchingotaura, usanyarara.
10 Inasmuch as, I, am with thee, and, no one, shall set upon thee to harm thee; inasmuch as I have much people in this city.
Nokuti ndinewe, uye hakuna munhu achakurwisa akakukuvadza, nokuti ndina vanhu vazhinji muguta rino.”
11 And he remained a year and six months, teaching among them the word of God.
Saka Pauro akagaramo kwegore nemwedzi mitanhatu, achivadzidzisa shoko raMwari.
12 But, when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews, with one accord, set upon Paul, and led him unto the judgment-seat,
Panguva iyo Gario akanga ari mubati weAkaya, vaJudha vakabatana mukurwisa Pauro uye vakauya naye kudare redzimhosva.
13 saying—Contrary to the law, is this one seducing men to be worshipping God.
Vakati, “Munhu uyu, ari kugombedzera vanhu kuti vanamate Mwari nenzira inopesana nomurayiro.”
14 But, as Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews—If, indeed, it had been some wrong or wicked recklessness, O Jews, with reason, in that case, should I have been bearing with you.
Pauro akati oda kutaura, Gario akati kuvaJudha, “Kana imi vaJudha manga muchinyunyuta pamusoro pemhosva yezvisakarurama kana kutadza kwakaipisisa, zvainge zviri nyore kwandiri kuti ndikuteererei.
15 If, however, they are questions concerning discourse, and names, and law, that which ye have, ye shall see to it, yourselves; A judge of these things, I, am not disposed to be.
Asi sezvo ichingova mibvunzo pamusoro pamashoko namazita uye nezvomurayiro wenyu, gadzirisanai pachenyu. Ini handidi kutonga nyaya dzakadai.”
16 And he drove them from the judgment-seat.
Saka akaita kuti vadzingwe kubva mudare remhosva.
17 But they all, laying hold of Sosthenes the ruler of the synagogue, began to strike him before the judgment-seat; and, for none of these things, did Gallio care.
Ipapo vose vakatendeukira kuna Sosteni mukuru wesinagoge vakamurova pamberi pedare. Asi Gario haana kumbova nehanya nazvo.
18 Paul, however, still further abiding a good many days with the brethren, bidding them adieu, set sail for Syria; and, with him, Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchreae, for he had a vow.
Pauro akaramba ari muKorinde kwamazuva mazhinji. Ipapo akabva pahama ndokuenda nechikepe kuSiria, achiperekedzwa naPirisira naAkwira. Asati akwira chikepe, akaveura bvudzi rake paKenikireya nokuda kwemhiko yaakanga aita.
19 And they came down to Ephesus; and, as for them, he left them there, —but, himself entering into the synagogue, he reasoned with the Jews.
Vakasvika paEfeso, Pauro akasiya Pirisira naAkwira ipapo. Iye pachake akapinda musinagoge akataurirana navaJudha.
20 And, when they requested him for a longer time to abide, he consented not;
Vakati vamukumbira kuti agare navo nguva refu, iye akaramba.
21 but, bidding them adieu, and saying—Again, will I return unto you, God willing, he sailed away from Ephesus;
Asi paakabva, akavimbisa achiti, “Ndichadzokazve kana Mwari achida.” Ipapo akakwira chikepe kubva kuEfeso.
22 and, putting in at Caesarea, going up and saluting the assembly, went down unto Antioch;
Akati aburuka paKesaria, akakwidza akandokwazisa kereke ipapo ndokubva aburuka oenda kuAndioki.
23 and, spending some time, he went forth, passing through, in order, the country of Galatia and Phrygia, confirming all the disciples.
Shure kwokunge ambogara muAndioki kwechinguva, Pauro akabvapo akaenda achishanya munzvimbo nenzvimbo, akapinda nomumatunhu eGaratia neFirigia, achisimbisa vadzidzi vose.
24 But, a certain Jew, Apollos by name, an Alexandrian by birth, a learned man, came down to Ephesus, being, mighty, in the Scriptures.
Zvichakadaro, mumwe muJudha ainzi Aporosi, chizvarwa cheArekizandiria, akasvika kuEfeso. Akanga ari murume akadzidza, aino ruzivo rwaMagwaro chaizvo.
25 The same, had been orally taught the way of the Lord, and, being fervent in his spirit, began speaking and teaching accurately, the things concerning Jesus, —properly knowing, only the immersion of John.
Akanga akadzidziswa nzira yaShe, uye aitaura nesimba guru achinyatsodzidzisa nezvaJesu, kunyange zvake aingoziva nezvorubhabhatidzo rwaJohani.
26 The same, also began speaking boldly in the synagogue; and Priscilla and Aquila, hearing him, took him unto them, and, more accurately, expounded unto him the way of God.
Akatanga kutaura musinagoge asingatyi. Pirisira naAkwira vakati vamunzwa, vakamukoka kumba kwavo vakamutsanangurira nzira yaMwari zvizere.
27 And, he being minded to pass through into Achaia, the brethren urgently wrote unto the disciples to welcome him, —who, arriving, was very useful unto them who had believed, with his gift;
Aporosi akati oda kuenda kuAkaya, hama dzakamukurudzira ndokumunyorera tsamba yokuti vadzidzi vaikoko vamugamuchire. Paakasvika akabatsira kwazvo avo vakanga vatenda nenyasha.
28 for, with great force, began he confuting the Jews, publicly, shewing by the Scriptures that Jesus was, the Christ.
Nokuti pakutaurirana, akapikisa vaJudha zvine simba pamberi pavanhu, achiratidza kubva muMagwaro kuti Jesu ndiye Kristu.
