Acts 1
1 The first account I compiled, O Theophilus, was about all that Jesus began to do and teach
Mubhuku rangu rokutanga, Teofirasi, ndakanyora pamusoro pezvose zvakatanga kuitwa uye nokudzidziswa naJesu
2 until the day when he was taken up, after he had given commands through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen.
kusvikira pazuva raakakwidzwa kudenga, shure kwokunge arayira, kubudikidza noMweya Mutsvene, vapostori vaakanga asarudza.
3 He presented himself alive to them, after his suffering, by many convincing proofs, appearing to them over the course of forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.
Mushure mokutambudzika kwake, akazviratidza kuvarume ava uye akaratidza zviratidzo zvakasimba zvizhinji zvokuti akanga ari mupenyu. Akaonekwa navo mazuva anopfuura makumi mana uye akataura nezvoumambo hwaMwari.
4 While he was with them, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, “Which,” he said, “you heard about from me.
Pane imwe nguva, paakanga achidya navo, akavarayira achiti, “Musabva muJerusarema, asi mumirire chipo chakavimbiswa naBaba vangu, icho chamakandinzwa ndichitaura pamusoro pacho.
5 For John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
Nokuti Johani akabhabhatidza nemvura, asi mushure mamazuva mashoma muchabhabhatidzwa noMweya Mutsvene.”
6 So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, are yoʋ going to restore the kingdom to Israel at this time?”
Saka, vakati vaungana pamwe chete, vakamubvunza vakati, “Ishe, mava kuzodzosera ushe kuvaIsraeri panguva ino here?”
7 He said to them, “It is not for you to know the times or seasons that the Father has set by his own authority,
Akati kwavari, “Hazvisi kwamuri kuti muzive nguva kana musi wakatarwa naBaba nesimba ravo pachavo.
8 but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Asi muchagamuchira simba kana Mweya Mutsvene auya pamusoro penyu; uye muchava zvapupu zvangu muJerusarema, nomuJudhea mose, nomuSamaria, kusvikira kumigumo yenyika.”
9 After he said this, he was lifted up as they looked on, and a cloud took him out of their sight.
Mushure mokunge ataura izvi, akakwidzwa kudenga pamberi pameso avo chaipo, uye gore rikamufukidza vakasazomuona.
10 As he went, they were gazing up into the sky, when behold, two men in white clothing were standing beside them.
Vakanga vakatarisisa paakanga achienda, uye pakarepo varume vaviri vakanga vakapfeka nguo chena vakamira pavari.
11 They said, “Men of Galilee, why are you standing here staring into the sky? This Jesus who was taken up from you into heaven will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”
Vakati kwavari, “Varume veGarirea, makamirireiko pano makatarisa kudenga? Iyeyu Jesu abviswa kwamuri achienda kudenga, achadzokazve sezvamamuona achienda kudenga.”
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.
Ipapo vakadzokera kuJerusarema vachibva kugomo rinonzi reMiorivhi, rwendo rwezuva reSabata uchibva kuguta.
13 After entering the city, they went up to the upper room where they were staying. Those present were Peter, James, John, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.
Vakati vasvika, vakakwira kuimba yapamusoro kukamuri ravaigara. Vakanga varipo vaiti: Petro, Johani, Jakobho naAndirea; Firipi naTomasi; Bhatoromeo naMateo; Jakobho mwanakomana waArifeasi naSimoni muZeroti, uye naJudhasi mwanakomana waJakobho.
14 With one accord they were all devoting themselves to prayer and supplication, along with Jesus' brothers and several women, including Mary the mother of Jesus.
Vakabatana vose pakuramba vachinyengetera, pamwe chete navakadzi uye naMaria mai vaJesu, navanunʼuna vake.
15 In those days Peter stood up among the disciples (a crowd of about one hundred twenty people who were gathered together). He said,
Mumazuva iwayo, Petro akasimuka pakati pavatendi (ungano yaida kusvika zana namakumi maviri)
16 “Brothers, it was necessary for this Scripture to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit foretold by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus.
akati, “Hama, Rugwaro rwaifanira kuzadziswa rwakataurwa noMweya Mutsvene nomuromo waDhavhidhi pamusoro paJudhasi, uyo akabatsira kutungamirira vaya vakasunga Jesu,
17 For he was numbered with us and received his share in this ministry.”
akanga ari mumwe wedu uye akanga ano mugove muushumiri uhu.”
18 (Now this man Judas had acquired a field with the wages of unrighteousness, and falling headfirst, his body burst open, and all his intestines gushed out.
(Nomubayiro waakawana nokuda kwokuipa kwake, Judhasi akatenga munda; imomo ndimo maakawira pasi nomusoro, muviri wake ukaputika, ura hwake hukabuda.
19 This became known to all who were dwelling in Jerusalem, so that in their language the field was called Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)
Munhu wose akanzwa nezvazvo muJerusarema, saka vakatumidza munda uya nomutauro wavo kuti Akeridhama, ndiko kuti, Munda weRopa.)
20 Peter continued, “For it is written in the Book of Psalms: ‘May his homestead become desolate; let there be no one to dwell in it,’ and, ‘May another take his position as overseer.’
Petro akati, “Nokuti kwakanyorwa mubhuku raMapisarema kuti, “‘Musha wake ngauve dongo; ngakurege kuva nomunhu anogaramo,’ uye kuti, “‘Mumwe ngaatore nzvimbo yake youtungamiri.’
21 Therefore, one of the men who have accompanied us during the entire time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
Naizvozvo zvakafanira kuti kusarudzwe mumwe murume akanga anesu nguva yose Ishe Jesu paaipinda nokubuda pakati pedu,
22 beginning from the baptism of John up to the day when Jesus was taken up from us, must become a witness with us of his resurrection.”
kutanga parubhabhatidzo rwaJohani kusvikira panguva yakabviswa Jesu kwatiri. Nokuti mumwe waava anofanira kuva chapupu chokumuka kwake, pamwe chete nesu.”
23 So they put forward two men, Joseph called Barsabas (who was given the name Justus), and Matthias.
Saka vakasarudza varume vaviri vaiti: Josefa ainzi Bhanabhasi (aizivikanwawo sokunzi Jastasi) naMatiasi.
24 Then they prayed, “Lord, yoʋ know the hearts of all; show us which of these two men yoʋ have chosen
Ipapo vakanyengetera vachiti, “Ishe, munoziva mwoyo yavanhu vose. Tiratidzei pakati pavaviri ava wamasarudza
25 to receive the share of this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned away to go to his own place.”
kuti atore basa iri roupostori, rakasiyiwa naJudhasi achienda kunzvimbo yake.”
26 Then they cast lots for them, and the lot fell to Matthias, so he was added to the eleven apostles.
Ipapo vakakanda mijenya, uye mujenya ukawira kuna Matiasi; saka akawedzerwa kuvapostori vane gumi nomumwe.
