Acts 10
1 There was a certain man in Cesarea, called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian [band],
PaKesaria pakanga pano mumwe murume ainzi Koniriasi, mukuru wezana weHondo yavaItaria.
2 [A] devout [man], and one that feared God with all his house, who gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God always.
Iye nemhuri yake vakanga vakazvipira uye vaitya Mwari; aipa kwazvo kuna vanoshayiwa uye ainyengetera kuna Mwari nguva dzose.
3 He saw in a vision evidently, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in to him, and saying to him, Cornelius.
Mumwe musi panguva inenge yechitatu masikati akaona chiratidzo. Akanyatsoona mutumwa waMwari, uyo akauya kwaari akati, “Koniriasi!”
4 And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Thy prayers and thy alms are come up for a memorial before God.
Koniriasi akatarisa kwaari achitya, akati, “Chinyiko, Ishe?” Mutumwa akapindura akati, “Minyengetero yako nezvipo zvako kuvarombo zvakwira kudenga sechipiriso chechirangaridzo pamberi paMwari.
5 And now send men to Joppa, and call for [one] Simon, whose surname is Peter:
Zvino tuma vanhu kuJopa vandodana murume anonzi Simoni, achinziwo Petro.
6 He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea-side: he will tell thee what thou oughtest to do.
Ari kugara naSimoni musuki wamatehwe, ane imba iri pedyo negungwa.”
7 And when the angel who spoke to Cornelius had departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;
Mutumwa waakanga achitaura naye akati aenda, Koniriasi akadana varanda vake vaviri nomumwe murwi akatendeka uyo aiva mumwe wavachengeti vake.
8 And when he had declared all [these] things to them, he sent them to Joppa.
Akavarondedzera zvose zvakanga zvaitika ndokuvatuma kuJopa.
9 On the morrow, as they were going on their journey, and drew nigh to the city, Peter went up upon the house-top to pray, about the sixth hour:
Nenguva dzinenge dzamasikati dzezuva raitevera, vachiri parwendo rwavo, uye voswedera pedyo neguta, Petro akakwira pamusoro pedenga reimba kundonyengetera.
10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
Akanzwa nzara uye akada zvokudya, uye zvokudya zvakati zvichigadzirwa, akaona chiratidzo.
11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending to him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
Akaona denga razarurwa uye chimwe chinhu chakanga chakaita sejira guru chichiburutswa pasi chakasungwa makona acho mana.
12 In which were all manner of four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping animals, and fowls of the air.
Chakanga chine mhando dzose dzemhuka dzina makumbo mana, pamwe chete nezvinokambaira zvenyika, neshiri dzedenga.
13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
Ipapo inzwi rakati kwaari, “Simuka, Petro. Baya udye.”
14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
Petro akapindura akati, “Zvirokwazvo kwete, Ishe! Handina kutongodya chinhu chisina kunaka kana chine tsvina.”
15 And the voice [spoke] to him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, [that] call not thou common.
Inzwi rakataurazve kwaari kechipiri richiti, “Usati chinhu chipi zvacho chakanatswa naMwari chine tsvina.”
16 This was done thrice: and the vessel was received again into heaven.
Izvi zvakaitika katatu, pakarepo jira rikadzoserwa kudenga.
17 Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men who were sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simon's house, and were standing before the gate,
Petro achiri kushamiswa nezvaireva chiratidzo, varume vakanga vatumwa naKoniriasi vakawana pakanga pane imba yaSimoni uye vakamira pasuo.
18 And called, and asked whether Simon, who was surnamed Peter, lodged there.
Vakadanidzira vachibvunza kana pakanga pari ipo paigara Simoni ainziwo Petro.
19 While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men seek thee.
Petro achiri kufunga pamusoro pechiratidzo, Mweya akati kwaari, “Simoni, pane varume vatatu vari kukutsvaka.
20 Arise therefore, and go down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
Saka simuka uburuke uende pasi. Usatya kuenda navo, nokuti ndini ndavatuma.”
21 Then Peter went down to the men who were sent to him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what [is] the cause for which ye have come?
Petro akaburuka akandoti kuvarume ava, “Ndini wamuri kutsvaka. Mavingeiko?”
22 And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by a holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words from thee.
Varume vaya vakamupindura vakati, “Tabva kuna Koniriasi mukuru wezana. Munhu akarurama uye anotya Mwari, anokudzwa navanhu vose vechiJudha. Mutumwa mutsvene akamuudza kuti akudanei kuti muuye kumba kwake kuti azonzwa zvamuchareva kwaari.”
23 Then he called them in, and lodged [them]. And on the morrow Peter went with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
Ipapo Petro akakoka varume ava kuti vapinde mumba vave vaeni vake. Fume mangwana Petro akasimuka pamwe chete navo, uye dzimwe hama dzokuJopa dzakaendawo naye.
24 And on the morrow they entered into Cesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends.
Zuva rakatevera akasvika Kesaria. Koniriasi akanga akavamirira uye akanga akoka hama dzake neshamwari dzapedyo.
25 And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshiped [him].
Petro akati apinda mumba, Koniriasi akamugamuchira uye akawira patsoka dzake achimuremekedza.
26 But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up: I myself also am a man.
Asi Petro akaita kuti asimuke akati, “Simuka, ndinongova munhuwo zvangu.”
27 And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that had come together.
Petro achitaura naye, akapinda mumba akawana vanhu vazhinji vakaungana.
28 And he said to them, Ye know that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come to one of another nation; but God hath shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean.
Akati kwavari, “Imi munozviziva kuti hazvibvumirwi nomurayiro wedu kuti muJudha adyidzane nomuhedheni kana kumushanyira. Asi Mwari andiratidza kuti handifaniri kuti nditi munhu haana kunaka kana kuti ane tsvina.
29 Therefore I came [to you] without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?
Nokudaro pandakadanwa, ndakabva ndauya ndisingarambi. Regai ndichibvunza hangu kwamuri kuti mandidanirei?”
30 And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
Koniriasi akapindura akati, “Mazuva mana apfuura ndakanga ndiri mumba mangu ndichinyengetera senguva ino, nenguva yechitatu yamasikati. Pakarepo munhu akanga akapfeka nguo dzinopenya akamira pamberi pangu
31 And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thy alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
akati, ‘Koniriasi, Mwari anzwa minyengetero yako uye arangarira zvipo zvako kuvarombo.
32 Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he lodgeth in the house of [one] Simon a tanner, by the sea-side: who, when he cometh, will speak to thee.
Tumira vanhu kuJopa kuna Simoni anonzi Petro. Mueni mumba maSimoni musuki wamatehwe, anogara pedyo negungwa.’
33 Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou hast come. Now therefore we are all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee from God.
Saka ndakabva ndatumira vanhu kwamuri pakarepo, uye maita zvakanaka zvamauya. Zvino isu tose tiri pano pamberi paMwari kuti tinzwe kwamuri zvose zvamarayirwa naShe kuti muzotitaurira.”
34 Then Peter opened [his] mouth, and said, In truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
Ipapo Petro akatanga kutaura achiti, “Zvino ndava kuziva kuti zvirokwazvo Mwari haazi mutsauri wavanhu
35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
asi anogamuchira vanhu vanobva kundudzi dzose, ivo vanomutya uye vanoita zvakarurama.
36 The word which [God] sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all: )
Imi munoziva shoko rakatumwa naMwari kuvanhu veIsraeri, achivaudza mashoko akanaka orugare kubudikidza naJesu Kristu, anova Ishe wavose.
37 That word, [I say], ye know, which was published throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
Munoziva zvakaitika muJudhea yose, kutanga kuGarirea shure kworubhabhatidzo rwakaparidzwa naJohani,
38 That God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed by the devil; for God was with him.
zvokuti Mwari akazodza sei Jesu Kristu weNazareta noMweya Mutsvene nesimba, uye kuti akapota sei nenyika achiita zvakanaka achiporesa vose vakanga vari pasi pesimba radhiabhori, nokuti Mwari aiva naye.
39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did, both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree.
“Isu tiri zvapupu zvezvinhu zvose zvaakaita munyika yavaJudha nomuJerusarema. Vakamuuraya nokumuturika pamuti,
40 Him God raised the third day, and showed him openly;
asi Mwari akamumutsa kubva kuvakafa nezuva retatu akaita kuti aonekwe.
41 Not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before by God, [even] to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
Haana kuonekwa navanhu vose, asi nezvapupu zvakanga zvagara zvasarudzwa naMwari nesu takadya uye tikanwa naye shure kwokumuka kwake kubva kuvakafa.
42 And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is he who was ordained by God [to be] the Judge of the living and the dead.
Akatirayira kuti tiparidze kuvanhu uye tipupure kuti ndiye akagadzwa naMwari kuti ave mutongi wavapenyu navakafa.
43 To him give all the prophets testimony, that through his name whoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
Vaprofita vose vanopupura nezvake kuti ani naani anotenda kwaari anogamuchira kanganwiro yezvivi kubudikidza nezita rake.”
44 While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all them who heard the word.
Petro achiri kutaura mashoko aya, Mweya Mutsvene akauya pamusoro pavose vakanzwa shoko.
45 And they of the circumcision who believed, were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Vatendi vakadzingiswa vakanga vauya naPetro vakakatyamara nokuti chipo choMweya Mutsvene chakanga chadururirwa kunyange napamusoro pevedzimwe ndudziwo.
46 For they heard them speak in languages and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
Nokuti vakavanzwa vachitaura nendimi vachirumbidza Mwari. Ipapo Petro akati,
47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we?
“Pano munhu angadzivisa vanhu ava kuti vabhabhatidzwe nemvura here? Vagamuchira Mweya Mutsvene sezvatakangoitawo isu.”
48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they requested him to tarry certain days.
Naizvozvo akarayira kuti vabhabhatidzwe muzita raJesu Kristu. Ipapo vakakumbira Petro kuti ambogara navo kwamazuva mashoma.
