Acts 17
1 Having passed through then Amphipolis and (*no*) Apollonia they came to Thessalonica, where was (the *k*) a synagogue of the Jews.
Vakati vapfuura nomuAmufipori neAporonia, vakasvika muTesaronika umo makanga mune sinagoge ravaJudha.
2 According to now the being customary with Paul he went in to them, and for Sabbaths three (he reasoned *N(k)O*) with them from the Scriptures,
Setsika yake Pauro akapinda musinagoge, akataurirana navo zvaibva muMagwaro, kwamaSabata matatu,
3 opening and setting forth that the Christ it was being necessary to have suffered and to have risen out from [the] dead and that this is the Christ (*no*) Jesus whom I myself preach to you.
achitsanangura nokuvaratidza kuti Kristu aifanira kutambudzika uye agomuka kubva kuvakafa. Akati, “Jesu uyu wandinokuparidzirai ndiye Kristu.”
4 And some of them were obedient and they joined themselves to Paul and to Silas, along with worshipping Greeks a multitude great of women then leading not a few.
Vamwe vaJudha vakatenda ndokubva vabatana naPauro naSirasi, sezvakaitwawo navazhinji zhinji vavaGiriki vaitya Mwari uye navakadzi vazhinji vaikudzwa.
5 Having become jealous now (the *o*) ([being] disobedient *K*) Jews and having taken to [them] of the market-loungers men certain wicked and having collected a crowd they were setting in uproar the city, (and *N(k)O*) having assailed the house of Jason they were seeking them (to bring out *N(k)O*) to the people;
Asi vaJudha vakaita godo; saka vakakokorodza vanhu vakanga vakaipa kubva pamusika, vakaunganidza mhomho yavanhu kuti vandotanga bope muguta. Vakamhanyira kumba kwaJasoni kundotsvaka Pauro naSirasi vachida kuti vavabudise vavaendese kuvanhu vazhinji.
6 Not having found however them they were dragging (*k*) Jason and certain brothers before the city authorities crying out that The [ones] the world having upset these also here are come,
Asi vakati vavashayiwa, vakakakatira Jasoni nedzimwe hama pamberi pavabati veguta, vachidanidzira vachiti, “Vanhu vaya vakauyisa kusagadzikana panyika yose vasvikawo kuno zvino,
7 whom has received Jason; And these all contrary to the decrees of Caesar do king another proclaiming to be Jesus.
uye Jasoni akavagamuchira mumba make. Vose vari kumhura zvirevo zvaKesari, vachiti pano mumwe mambo, anonzi Jesu.”
8 They stirred up then the crowd and the city authorities hearing these things;
Vakati vanzwa izvozvo, ungano uye navabati veguta vakashushikana.
9 And having taken security from Jason and the rest they let go them.
Ipapo vakaita kuti Jasoni navamwe varipe rubatso ndokubva vavaregedza.
10 And the brothers immediately through (*k*) night sent away both Paul and Silas to Berea, who having arrived into the synagogue of the Jews were going.
Kuchangosviba, hama dzakaendesa Pauro naSirasi kuBheria. Vakati vasvika ikoko, vakapinda musinagoge ravaJudha.
11 These now were more noble than those in Thessalonica, who received the word with all readiness (*ko*) every day examining the Scriptures if would be these things so.
Zvino vaBheria vakanga vane tsika dzakanaka kupfuura vaTesaronika, nokuti vakagamuchira shoko nemwoyo inodisisa uye vachinzvera Magwaro zuva rimwe nerimwe kuti vaone kana zvairehwa naPauro zvaiva izvo.
12 Many indeed therefore of them believed, and of the Grecian women prominent and men not a few.
VaJudha vazhinji vakatenda, sezvakaitwawo navakadzi vaikudzwa vechiGiriki navarume vazhinji vechiGiriki.
13 When however knew those from Thessalonica Jews that also in Berea was proclaimed by Paul the word of God, they came there also there also stirring up (and agitating *NO*) the crowds.
VaJudha vokuTesaronika vakati vanzwa kuti Pauro akanga achiparidza shoko raMwari paBheria, vakaendazve ikoko, vakakurudzira uye vakakuchidzira bope pakati pavanhu vazhinji.
14 Immediately also then Paul sent away the brothers to go (until *N(k)O*) to the sea; (remained but *N(k)O*) both Silas and Timothy there.
Ipapo hama dzakaendesa Pauro kugungwa, asi Sirasi naTimoti vakasara paBheria.
15 Those now (escorting *N(k)O*) Paul brought (him *k*) unto Athens, and having received a command unto Silas and (*no*) Timothy that as quickly as possible they may come to him they were departing.
Varume vakaperekedza Pauro, vakasvika naye paAtene vachibva vadzokera vaine shoko rokuti Sirasi naTimoti vamutevere nokukurumidza.
16 In now Athens is waiting for them Paul was provoked the spirit of him in him (seeing *N(k)O*) utterly idolatrous to be the city.
Pauro achakavamirira paAtene, akatambudzika zvikuru achiona kuti guta rakanga rizere nezvifananidzo.
17 He was reasoning indeed therefore in the synagogue with the Jews and with those worshiping and in the marketplace on every day with those meeting [him];
Saka akataurirana navaJudha navaGiriki vaitya Mwari musinagoge, uyewo napamusika zuva rimwe nerimwe naavo vainge varipo.
18 Some then also of the Epicureans and (of the *k*) Stoics philosophers were encountering him; And some were saying; What maybe would intend babbler this to say? Others however; Of foreign gods he seems a proclaimer to be; because Jesus and the resurrection (to them *k*) he was evangelising.
Boka ravakachenjera ravaEpikuro navaStoiki rakaita nharo naye. Vamwe vavo vakabvunza vakati, “Ko, uyu mutauri wezvisina maturo ari kuedza kuti kudii?” Vamwe vakati, “Anenge ari kudzidzisa nezvavamwari vokumwe.” Vakareva izvi nokuti Pauro akanga achiparidza mashoko akanaka ezvaJesu uye nezvokumuka kwavakafa.
19 Having taken hold (also *NK(o)*) of him to the Ares Hill they brought [him] saying; Are we able to know what [is] new this which by you is spoken teaching?
Ipapo vakamutora vakaenda naye kumusangano weAreopagasi, vakati kwaari, “Tinoda kuziva kuti dzidziso itsva iyi yauri kudzidzisa ndeyei?
20 Strange things for some you are bringing to the ears of us; We resolve therefore to know (what [things] *N(k)O*) (maybe *k*) (intends *N(k)O*) these things to be.
Uri kuunza pfungwa itsva kunzeve dzedu, uye tinoda kuziva kuti dzinorevei.”
21 [The] Athenians now all and the visiting strangers in no [thing] else were spending their time than to tell something (and *N(k)O*) to hear something new.
(VaAtene vose navatorwa vaigara ipapo vaipedza nguva yavo vasina chimwe chavanoita kunze kwokungotaura nokuteerera pfungwa itsva).
22 Having stood then Paul in [the] midst of the Ares Hill he was saying; Men Athenians, in all things as very religious you I behold;
Ipapo Pauro akasimuka mumusangano weAreopagasi akati, “Varume veAtene! Ndinoona kuti panzira dzose muri vanhu vechitendero zvikuru.
23 Passing through for and beholding the objects of worship of you I found even an altar on which had been inscribed: To an unknown God. (whom *N(k)O*) therefore not knowing you worship, (Him *N(K)O*) I myself proclaim to you.
Nokuti ndakati ndichifamba-famba uye ndikanyatsotarisisa zvinhu zvamunonamata, ndakaonawo aritari yakanyorwa kunzi: KUNA MWARI ASINGAZIVIKANWI. Zvino chamunonamata sechinhu chisingazivikanwi ndicho chandinokuparidzirai.
24 The God who having made the world and all things that [are] in it, He of heaven and earth being Lord not in hand-made temples dwells,
“Mwari akasika nyika nezvinhu zvose zviri mairi ndiye Ishe wedenga napasi uye haagari mutemberi dzakavakwa namaoko.
25 nor by hands (human *N(k)O*) is He served as needing anything, Himself giving to all life and breath (and *N(K)O*) (the *N(k)O*) all;
Iye haashumirwi namaoko avanhu, sokunge anoshayiwa chinhu, nokuti iye amene anopa vanhu vose upenyu nokufema, nezvimwewo zvinhu.
26 He made then of one (blood *K*) every nation of men to dwell upon (all [the] face *N(k)O*) of the earth, determining (ordered *N(k)O*) times and the boundaries of the habitation of them
Kubva pamunhu mumwe chete akaita ndudzi dzose dzavanhu, kuti vagare panyika yose; uye akavatarira nguva nenzvimbo dzavo chaidzo dzavangagara.
27 to seek (God, *N(K)O*) if perhaps indeed they would touch Him and would find [Him], And (indeed *N(k)O*) not far from one each of us He is.
Mwari akaita izvi kuitira kuti vanhu vagomutsvaka kuti zvimwe vangamuwana, kunyange zvake asiri kure nomumwe nomumwe wedu.
28 In Him for we live and move and are,’ As also some of the among you poets have said; of [Him] For also offspring we are.’
‘Nokuti maari ndimo matinorarama nomatinofamba, uye ndimo matigere.’ Sezvakarehwa navamwe vadetembi vokwenyu vachiti, ‘Tiri chibereko chake.’
29 Offspring therefore being of God not we ought to consider to gold or to silver or to stone, a graven thing of craft and imagination of man, the Divine Being to be like.
“Naizvozvo sezvo tiri chibereko chaMwari, hatifaniri kufunga kuti umwari hwakaita segoridhe kana sirivha kana ibwe, chifananidzo chakavezwa noumhizha hwomunhu.
30 The indeed therefore times of ignorance having overlooked God now (He commands *NK(O)*) to men (all *N(k)O*) everywhere to repent;
Mwari akarega hake kurangarira nguva dzakare dzokusaziva kwakadai, asi zvino anorayira vanhu vose kwose kwose kuti vatendeuke.
31 (just as *N(k)O*) He set a day in which He is about to judge the world in righteousness by a man whom He appointed a guarantee having provided to all, having raised Him out from [the] dead.
Nokuti akatara zuva raachatonga nyika nokururamisira nomurume waakagadza. Akaratidza izvi kuvanhu vose nokumumutsa kubva kuvakafa.”
32 Having heard of now a resurrection of [the] dead some indeed were mocking [him], some however said; We will hear you concerning this (also *no*) again.
Vakati vanzwa nezvokumuka kwavakafa, vamwe vakaseka, asi vamwe vakati, “Tinoda kuzokunzwazve pamusoro peshoko iri.”
33 (and *k*) Thus Paul went out from [the] midst of them.
Nokudaro, Pauro akabva paungano iyi.
34 Some however men having joined themselves to him believed, among whom also [were] Dionysius the Areopagite and a woman named Damaris and others with them.
Varume vashoma vakava vateveri vaPauro uye vakatenda. Pakati pavo paiva naDhionisiasi, nhengo yeAreopagasi nomukadzi ainzi Dhamarisi, uye navamwewo.
