Acts 18
1 After these things, Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;
Shure kwaizvozvo, Pauro akabva paAtene akaenda kuKorinde.
2 And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome) and [he] came to 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 occupation, he abode with them, and wrought (for by their occupation they were tent-makers)
uye sezvo akanga ari mugadziri wamatende saivo, akagara navo achishanda pamwe chete navo.
4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
Sabata rimwe nerimwe akanga achitaurirana navo musinagoge, achiedza kugombedzera vaJudha navaGiriki.
5 And when Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in spirit, and testified to the Jews, [that] Jesus [was] Christ.
Sirasi naTimoti vakati vasvika vachibva kuMasedhonia, Pauro akazvipira kuti aparidze chete, achipupura kuvaJudha kuti Jesu ndiye Kristu.
6 And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook [his] raiment, and said to them, Your blood [be] upon your own heads: I [am] clean: from henceforth I will go to the Gentiles.
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 he departed thence, and entered into the house of a certain man named Justus, [one] that worshiped God, whose house joined close to the synagogue.
Ipapo Pauro akabuda musinagoge akaenda kumba kwaTitiasi Jastasi munhu ainamata Mwari.
8 And Crispus the chief ruler of the synagogue believed on the Lord with all his house: and many of the Corinthians hearing, believed, and were baptized.
Krispasi mukuru wesinagoge, neimba yake yose vakatenda kuna She; uye vazhinji vavaKorinde vakamunzwa vakatenda uye vakabhabhatidzwa.
9 Then the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:
Humwe usiku Ishe akataura naPauro muchiratidzo akati, “Usatya; ramba uchingotaura, usanyarara.
10 For I am with thee, and no man shall lay hands on thee, to hurt thee: for I have many people in this city.
Nokuti ndinewe, uye hakuna munhu achakurwisa akakukuvadza, nokuti ndina vanhu vazhinji muguta rino.”
11 And he continued [there] a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
Saka Pauro akagaramo kwegore nemwedzi mitanhatu, achivadzidzisa shoko raMwari.
12 And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment-seat,
Panguva iyo Gario akanga ari mubati weAkaya, vaJudha vakabatana mukurwisa Pauro uye vakauya naye kudare redzimhosva.
13 Saying, This [man] persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.
Vakati, “Munhu uyu, ari kugombedzera vanhu kuti vanamate Mwari nenzira inopesana nomurayiro.”
14 And when Paul was now about to open [his] mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong, or hainous crime, O [ye] Jews, reason would that I should bear 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 But if it is a question of words and names, and [of] your law, look ye [to it]: for I will be no judge of such [matters].
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 Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat [him] before the judgment-seat. And Gallio cared for none of those things.
Ipapo vose vakatendeukira kuna Sosteni mukuru wesinagoge vakamurova pamberi pedare. Asi Gario haana kumbova nehanya nazvo.
18 And Paul [after this] tarried [there] yet a good while, and took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn [his] head in Cenchrea: 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 he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
Vakasvika paEfeso, Pauro akasiya Pirisira naAkwira ipapo. Iye pachake akapinda musinagoge akataurirana navaJudha.
20 When they desired [him] to tarry longer time with them, he consented not:
Vakati vamukumbira kuti agare navo nguva refu, iye akaramba.
21 But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return to you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus.
Asi paakabva, akavimbisa achiti, “Ndichadzokazve kana Mwari achida.” Ipapo akakwira chikepe kubva kuEfeso.
22 And when he had landed at Cesarea, and gone up and saluted the church, he went down to Antioch.
Akati aburuka paKesaria, akakwidza akandokwazisa kereke ipapo ndokubva aburuka oenda kuAndioki.
23 And after he had spent some time [there], he departed and went over [all] the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.
Shure kwokunge ambogara muAndioki kwechinguva, Pauro akabvapo akaenda achishanya munzvimbo nenzvimbo, akapinda nomumatunhu eGaratia neFirigia, achisimbisa vadzidzi vose.
24 And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, [and] mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.
Zvichakadaro, mumwe muJudha ainzi Aporosi, chizvarwa cheArekizandiria, akasvika kuEfeso. Akanga ari murume akadzidza, aino ruzivo rwaMagwaro chaizvo.
25 This man was instructed in the way of the Lord: and being fervent in the spirit, he spoke and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.
Akanga akadzidziswa nzira yaShe, uye aitaura nesimba guru achinyatsodzidzisa nezvaJesu, kunyange zvake aingoziva nezvorubhabhatidzo rwaJohani.
26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: Whom, when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him to [them], and expounded to him the way of God more perfectly.
Akatanga kutaura musinagoge asingatyi. Pirisira naAkwira vakati vamunzwa, vakamukoka kumba kwavo vakamutsanangurira nzira yaMwari zvizere.
27 And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he had come, helped them much who had believed through grace.
Aporosi akati oda kuenda kuAkaya, hama dzakamukurudzira ndokumunyorera tsamba yokuti vadzidzi vaikoko vamugamuchire. Paakasvika akabatsira kwazvo avo vakanga vatenda nenyasha.
28 For he mightily convinced the Jews, [and that] publicly, showing by the scriptures, that Jesus was Christ.
Nokuti pakutaurirana, akapikisa vaJudha zvine simba pamberi pavanhu, achiratidza kubva muMagwaro kuti Jesu ndiye Kristu.
