Acts 14
1 At Iconium the Apostles went together to the Jewish synagogue and preached, with the result that a great number both of Jews and Greeks believed.
Zvino zvakaitika paIkonio, vakapinda pamwe musinagoge reVaJudha, vakataura kudai zvekuti chaunga chikuru cheVaJudha necheVaGirikiwo chakatenda.
2 But the Jews who had refused obedience stirred up the Gentiles and embittered their minds against the brethren.
Asi VaJudha vasingatendi vakamutsa nekuipisa moyo yevahedheni kuvapesanisa nehama.
3 Yet Paul and Barnabas remained there for a considerable time, speaking freely and relying on the Lord, while He bore witness to the Message of His grace by permitting signs and marvels to be done by them.
Naizvozvo vakagara nguva refu vachitaura vakashinga muna Ishe anopupurira shoko renyasha dzake, uye anovapa kuti kuitwe zviratidzo nezvishamiso nemaoko avo.
4 At length the people of the city split into parties, some siding with the Jews and some with the Apostles.
Asi chaunga cheguta chakakamurwa; vamwe ndokuva neVaJudha, vamwewo nevaapositori.
5 And when a hostile movement was made by both Gentiles and Jews, with the sanction of their magistrates, to maltreat and stone them,
Zvino kwakati kwava nekushushwa kwevahedheni nekweVaJudhawo nevatungamiriri vavo, kuvabata zvakaipa nekuvataka nemabwe,
6 the Apostles, having become aware of it, made their escape into the Lycaonian towns of Lystra and Derbe, and the neighbouring country.
vakati vazviziva, vakatizira kumaguta eRikaonia, Ristra neDhebhe, nekudunhu rakapoteredza;
7 And there they continued to tell the Good News.
neipapo vakaparidza evhangeri.
8 Now a man who had no power in his feet used to sit in the streets of Lystra. He had been lame from his birth and had never walked.
Zvino paRistra paigara umwe murume wakange asina simba patsoka, ari chirema kubva padumbu ramai vake, asina kutongofamba.
9 After this man had listened to one of Paul's sermons, the Apostle, looking steadily at him and perceiving that he had faith to be cured,
Uyu wakanzwa Pauro achitaura; iye akamutarisisa, akaona kuti ane rutendo kuti aporeswe,
10 said in a loud voice, "Stand upright upon your feet!"
akati nenzwi guru: Simuka, uti tasa netsoka dzako. Zvino akakwakuka akafamba.
11 So he sprang up and began to walk about. Then the crowds, seeing what Paul had done, rent the air with their shouts in the Lycaonian language, saying, "The gods have assumed human form and have come down to us."
Zvino zvaunga, zvakati zvaona Pauro zvaakange aita, zvakasimudza manzwi azvo zvichiti nechiRikaonia: Vamwari vaburukira kwatiri vakafanana nevanhu.
12 They called Barnabas 'Zeus,' and Paul, as being the principal speaker, 'Hermes.'
Bhanabhasi vakamutumidzawo Zeusi, naPauro Herimesi, nokuti ndiye waiva mutungamiriri wekutaura.
13 And the priest of Zeus--the temple of Zeus being at the entrance to the city--brought bullocks and garlands to the gates, and in company with the crowd was intending to offer sacrifices to them.
Zvino mupristi waZeusi waiva pamberi peguta ravo, wakauisa nzombe nezvishongo pamisuwo, achida kubaira pamwe nezvaunga.
14 But the Apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it; and tearing their clothes they rushed out into the middle of the crowd, exclaiming, "Sirs, why are you doing all this?
Asi vaapositori Bhanabhasi naPauro vakati vanzwa, vakabvarura nguvo dzavo, vakamhanyira pakati pechaunga, vachidanidzira,
15 We also are but men, with natures kindred to your own; and we bring you the Good News that you are to turn from these unreal things, to worship the ever-living God, the Creator of earth and sky and sea and of everything that is in them.
ndokuti: Varume, munoitirei zvinhu izvi? Isuwo tiri vanhu vane manzwiro mamwe nemwi, tinokuparidzirai mashoko akanaka kuti pane izvozvi zvisina maturo mutendeukire kuna Mwari mupenyu, wakaita denga nenyika negungwa nezvinhu zvese zviri mazviri.
16 In times gone by He allowed all the nations to go their own ways;
Iye pamazera akapfuura wakatendera vahedheni vese kufamba nenzira dzavo.
17 and yet by His beneficence He has not left His existence unattested--His beneficence, I mean, in sending you rain from Heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying your hearts with food and joyfulness."
Zvakadaro haana kuzvisiya asina uchapupu, pakuti wakaita zvakanaka akatipa mvura kubva kudenga nenguva dzezvibereko, achizadza moyo yedu nekudya nemufaro.
18 Even with words like these they had difficulty in preventing the thronging crowd from offering sacrifices to them.
Zvino vachitaura zvinhu izvi, zvairema kugumisa zvaunga kuti vasabaira kwavari.
19 But now a party of Jews came from Antioch and Iconium, and, having won over the crowd, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the town, believing him to be dead.
Asi kwakasvika VaJudha vakabva Andiyokiya neIkonio, vanyengetedza zvaunga, zvino vataka Pauro nemabwe, vakamukwevera kunze kweguta, vachifunga kuti wafa.
20 When, however, the disciples had collected round him, he rose and went back into the town. The next day he went with Barnabas to Derbe;
Asi vadzidzi vakati vamukomba, akasimuka akapinda muguta; zvino chifume akabuda naBhanabhasi akaenda kuDhebhe.
21 and, after proclaiming the Good News to the people there and gaining a large number of converts, they retraced their steps to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch.
Vakati vaparidzawo evhangeri kuguta iro, uye vaita vazhinji vadzidzi, vakadzokera kuRistra neIkonio neAndiyokiya,
22 Everywhere they strengthened the disciples by encouraging them to hold fast to the faith, and warned them saying, "It is through many afflictions that we must make our way into the Kingdom of God."
vachisimbisa mweya yevadzidzi, vachivakurudzira kurambira parutendo, uye kuti tinofanira kupinda muushe hwaMwari nemumatambudziko mazhinji.
23 And in every Church, after prayer and fasting, they selected Elders by show of hands, and commended them to the Lord on whom their faith rested.
Zvino vakati vavagadzira vakuru pakereke imwe neimwe, vanyengetera nekutsanya, vakavakumikidza kuna Ishe, wavaitenda kwaari.
24 Then passing through Pisidia they came into Pamphylia;
Zvino vakati vagura nePisidhiya vakasvika Pamufiriya.
25 and after telling the Message at Perga they came down to Attaleia.
Uye vakati vaparidza shoko paPega, vakaburukira Ataria;
26 Thence they sailed to Antioch, where they had previously been commended to the grace of God in connexion with the work which they had now completed.
vakabvapo nechikepe vakaenda kuAndiyokiya, apo pavakange vakumikidzwa munyasha dzaMwari pabasa ravakange vapedzisa.
27 Upon their arrival they called the Church together and proceeded to report in detail all that God, working with them, had done, and how He had opened for the Gentiles the door of faith.
Vakatiwo vasvika vakaunganidza kereke, vakarondedzera zvese Mwari zvaakange aita navo, uye kuti wakange azarurira vahedheni mukova werutendo.
28 And they remained a considerable time in Antioch with the disciples.
Ipapo vakagara nguva isati iri pfupi nevadzidzi.
