Acts 18
1 After this he left Athens and came to Corinth.
Shure kwaizvozvo, Pauro akabva paAtene akaenda kuKorinde.
2 Here he found a Jew, a native of Pontus, of the name of Aquila. He and his wife Priscilla had recently come from Italy because of Claudius's edict expelling all the Jews from Rome. So Paul paid them a visit;
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 trade--that of tent-maker--he lodged with them and worked with them.
uye sezvo akanga ari mugadziri wamatende saivo, akagara navo achishanda pamwe chete navo.
4 But, Sabbath after Sabbath, he preached in the synagogue and tried to win over both Jews and Greeks.
Sabata rimwe nerimwe akanga achitaurirana navo musinagoge, achiedza kugombedzera vaJudha navaGiriki.
5 Now at the time when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was preaching fervently and was solemnly telling the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.
Sirasi naTimoti vakati vasvika vachibva kuMasedhonia, Pauro akazvipira kuti aparidze chete, achipupura kuvaJudha kuti Jesu ndiye Kristu.
6 But upon their opposing him with abusive language, he shook his clothes by way of protest, and said to them, "Your ruin will be upon your own heads. I am not responsible: in future I will go among 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 So he left the place and went to the house of a person called Titius Justus, a worshipper of the true God. His house was next door to the synagogue.
Ipapo Pauro akabuda musinagoge akaenda kumba kwaTitiasi Jastasi munhu ainamata Mwari.
8 And Crispus, the Warden of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, and so did all his household; and from time to time many of the Corinthians who heard Paul believed and received baptism.
Krispasi mukuru wesinagoge, neimba yake yose vakatenda kuna She; uye vazhinji vavaKorinde vakamunzwa vakatenda uye vakabhabhatidzwa.
9 And, in a vision by night, the Lord said to Paul, "Dismiss your fears: go on speaking, and do not give up.
Humwe usiku Ishe akataura naPauro muchiratidzo akati, “Usatya; ramba uchingotaura, usanyarara.
10 I am with you, and no one shall attack you to injure you; for I have very many people in this city."
Nokuti ndinewe, uye hakuna munhu achakurwisa akakukuvadza, nokuti ndina vanhu vazhinji muguta rino.”
11 So Paul remained in Corinth for a year and six months, teaching among them the Message of God.
Saka Pauro akagaramo kwegore nemwedzi mitanhatu, achivadzidzisa shoko raMwari.
12 But when Gallio became Proconsul of Greece, the Jews with one accord made a dead set at Paul, and brought him before the court.
Panguva iyo Gario akanga ari mubati weAkaya, vaJudha vakabatana mukurwisa Pauro uye vakauya naye kudare redzimhosva.
13 "This man," they said, "is inducing people to offer unlawful worship to God."
Vakati, “Munhu uyu, ari kugombedzera vanhu kuti vanamate Mwari nenzira inopesana nomurayiro.”
14 But, when Paul was about to begin his defence, Gallio said to the Jews, "If it had been some wrongful act or piece of cunning knavery I might reasonably have listened to you Jews.
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 since these are questions about words and names and your Law, you yourselves must see to them. I refuse to be a judge in such matters."
Asi sezvo ichingova mibvunzo pamusoro pamashoko namazita uye nezvomurayiro wenyu, gadzirisanai pachenyu. Ini handidi kutonga nyaya dzakadai.”
16 So he ordered them out of court.
Saka akaita kuti vadzingwe kubva mudare remhosva.
17 Then the people all set upon Sosthenes, the Warden of the synagogue, and beat him severely in front of the court. Gallio did not concern himself in the least about this.
Ipapo vose vakatendeukira kuna Sosteni mukuru wesinagoge vakamurova pamberi pedare. Asi Gario haana kumbova nehanya nazvo.
18 After remaining a considerable time longer in Corinth, Paul took leave of the brethren and set sail for Syria; and Priscilla and Aquila were with him. He had shaved his head at Cenchreae, because he was bound by 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 They put in at Ephesus, and there Paul left his companions behind. As for himself, he went to the synagogue and had a discussion with the Jews.
Vakasvika paEfeso, Pauro akasiya Pirisira naAkwira ipapo. Iye pachake akapinda musinagoge akataurirana navaJudha.
20 When they asked him to remain longer he did not consent,
Vakati vamukumbira kuti agare navo nguva refu, iye akaramba.
21 but took leave of them with the promise, "I will return to you, God willing." So he set sail from Ephesus.
Asi paakabva, akavimbisa achiti, “Ndichadzokazve kana Mwari achida.” Ipapo akakwira chikepe kubva kuEfeso.
22 Landing at Caesarea, he went up to Jerusalem and inquired after the welfare of the Church, and then went down to Antioch.
Akati aburuka paKesaria, akakwidza akandokwazisa kereke ipapo ndokubva aburuka oenda kuAndioki.
23 After spending some time in Antioch, Paul set out on a tour, visiting the whole of Galatia and Phrygia in order, and strengthening all the disciples.
Shure kwokunge ambogara muAndioki kwechinguva, Pauro akabvapo akaenda achishanya munzvimbo nenzvimbo, akapinda nomumatunhu eGaratia neFirigia, achisimbisa vadzidzi vose.
24 Meanwhile a Jew named Apollos came to Ephesus. He was a native of Alexandria, a man of great learning and well versed in the Scriptures.
Zvichakadaro, mumwe muJudha ainzi Aporosi, chizvarwa cheArekizandiria, akasvika kuEfeso. Akanga ari murume akadzidza, aino ruzivo rwaMagwaro chaizvo.
25 He had been instructed by word of mouth in the way of the Lord, and, being full of burning zeal, he used to speak and teach accurately the facts about Jesus, though he knew of no baptism but John's.
Akanga akadzidziswa nzira yaShe, uye aitaura nesimba guru achinyatsodzidzisa nezvaJesu, kunyange zvake aingoziva nezvorubhabhatidzo rwaJohani.
26 He began to speak boldly in the synagogue, and Priscilla and Aquila, after hearing him, took him home and explained God's way to him more accurately.
Akatanga kutaura musinagoge asingatyi. Pirisira naAkwira vakati vamunzwa, vakamukoka kumba kwavo vakamutsanangurira nzira yaMwari zvizere.
27 Then, as he had made up his mind to cross over into Greece, the brethren wrote to the disciples in Corinth begging them to give him a kindly welcome. Upon his arrival he rendered valuable help to those who through grace had believed;
Aporosi akati oda kuenda kuAkaya, hama dzakamukurudzira ndokumunyorera tsamba yokuti vadzidzi vaikoko vamugamuchire. Paakasvika akabatsira kwazvo avo vakanga vatenda nenyasha.
28 for he powerfully and in public overcame the Jews in argument, proving to them from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.
Nokuti pakutaurirana, akapikisa vaJudha zvine simba pamberi pavanhu, achiratidza kubva muMagwaro kuti Jesu ndiye Kristu.
