Acts 13
1 Now in the assembly that was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
Zvino paivapo muAndiyokiya, mukereke ipapo vamwe vaporofita nevadzidzisi, Bhanabhasi naSimioniwo wainzi Nigeri, naRukio muKurini, naManaeni wakange arerwa pamwe naHerodhe umwe wevatungamiriri vana, naSauro.
2 As they served the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Separate Barnabas and Saul for me, for the work to which I have called them.”
Vakati vachishumira kuna Ishe nekutsanya, Mweya Mutsvene akati: Nditsaurirei Bhanabhasi pamwe naSauro pabasa randakavadanira.
3 Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
Ipapo vatsanya nekunyengetera nekuisa maoko pamusoro pavo, vakavaendesa.
4 So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus.
Naizvozvo zvirokwazvo ivo vakati vatumwa naMweya Mutsvene, vakaburukira Serukia, vakabvapowo vakaenda kuSaipuresi nechikepe.
5 When they were at Salamis, they proclaimed God’s word in the Jewish synagogues. They also had John as their attendant.
Zvino vasvika paSarami, vakaparidza shoko raMwari mumasinagoge eVaJudha; uye vakange vanaJohwaniwo mubatsiri.
6 When they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar Jesus,
Zvino vakati vagura nemuchiwi kusvikira paPafosi, vakawana imwe n'anga, muporofita wenhema, muJudha, wainzi Bhari-Jesu.
7 who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word of God.
Wainge ane mutungamiriri Sejiyo Pauro, murume wakachenjera. Iye wakadanira kwaari Bhanabhasi naSauro akatsvaka kunzwa shoko raMwari.
8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.
Asi Erimasi n'anga, nokuti ndiro zita rake kana zvichishandurwa, akavapikisa, achitsvaka kutsausa mutungamiriri parutendo.
9 But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastened his eyes on him
Asi Sauro, ndiye Paurowo, azadzwa neMweya Mutsvene, uye amutarisisa,
10 and said, “You son of the devil, full of all deceit and all cunning, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
wakati: Iwe uzere nekubiridzira kwese nekunyengera kwese, mwanakomana wadhiabhorosi, muvengi wekururama kwese, haugumi here kutsausa nzira dzakarurama dzaIshe?
11 Now, behold, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun for a season!” Immediately a mist and darkness fell on him. He went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand.
Uye ikozvino tarira, ruoko rwaIshe rwuri pamusoro pako, uye uchava bofu, usingaoni zuva kwenguva. Pakarepo mhute nerima zvakamuwira, akatenderera achitsvaka vangamutungamirira neruoko.
12 Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
Panguva iyo mutungamiriri wakati aona zvakaitika akatenda, achishamiswa nedzidziso yaIshe.
13 Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia. John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.
Zvino Pauro nevaiva naye vakabva Pafosi nechikepe vakasvika paPega muPamufiriya. Asi Johwani wakabva kwavari akadzokera kuJerusarema.
14 But they, passing on from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia. They went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down.
Asi ivo vakati vagura vachibva paPega, vakasvika kuAndiyokiya muPisidhiya; vakapinda musinagoge nezuva resabata, vakagara pasi.
15 After the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, “Brothers, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, speak.”
Zvino shure kwekuverengwa kwemurairo nevaporofita, vakuru vesinagoge vakatumira kwavari, vachiti: Varume hama, kana kune shoko mukati menyu rekurudziro kuvanhu, taurai.
16 Paul stood up, and gesturing with his hand said, “Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen.
Zvino Pauro wakasimuka, ndokuninira neruoko, akati: Varume VaIsraeri, nemwi munotya Mwari, teererai.
17 The God of this people chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they stayed as aliens in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm, he led them out of it.
Mwari werudzi urwu rwaIsraeri wakasarudza madzibaba edu, akakudza vanhu vachiri vatorwa munyika yeEgipita, uye neruoko rwakakwirira akavabudisa mairi.
18 For a period of about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness.
Uye akava nemoyo murefu nemaitiro avo nguva inenge makore makumi mana murenje.
19 When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land for an inheritance for about four hundred fifty years.
Zvino wakati aparadza marudzi manomwe munyika yeKenani, akavagovera nyika yavo nemujenya.
20 After these things, he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.
Zvino shure kweizvozvo, makore anenge mazana mana nemakumi mashanu, wakavapa vatongi kusvikira kuna Samueri muporofita.
21 Afterward they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.
Uye kubvira ipapo vakakumbira mambo; Mwari ndokuvapa Sauro mwanakomana waKishi, murume werudzi rwaBhenjamini, makore makumi mana.
22 When he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, to whom he also testified, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who will do all my will.’
Zvino wakati amubvisa, wakavamutsira Dhavhidhi kuva mambo, waakapupurirawo akati: Ndawana Dhavhidhi waJese, murume anoenderana nemoyo wangu, achaita chido changu chese.
23 From this man’s offspring, God has brought salvation to Israel according to his promise,
Pambeu yeuyu sechivimbiso, Mwari wakamutsira Israeri Muponesi Jesu;
24 before his coming, when John had first preached the baptism of repentance to Israel.
iye asati asvika Johwani wakaparidza pakutanga rubhabhatidzo rwekutendeuka kuvanhu vese VaIsraeri.
25 As John was fulfilling his course, he said, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. But behold, one comes after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’
Zvino Johwani wakati azadzisa rwendo, akati: Munofunga kuti ndini ani? Ini handisi iye, asi tarirai, shure kwangu anouya, wandisakafanira kusunungura shangu dzetsoka dzake.
26 “Brothers, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, the word of this salvation is sent out to you.
Varume hama, vana verudzi rwaAbhurahama, neavo pakati penyu vanotya Mwari, shoko reruponeso urwu ratumirwa kwamuri.
27 For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they didn’t know him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.
Nokuti avo vanogara muJerusarema nevatungamiriri vavo havana kumuziva uyu, uye manzwi evaporofita anoverengwa sabata rimwe nerimwe, vakaazadzisa pakumurasa;
28 Though they found no cause for death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed.
uye kunyange vasina kuwana mhosva yerufu, vakakumbira kuna Pirato kuti aurawe.
29 When they had fulfilled all things that were written about him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb.
Zvino vakati vapedza zvese zvakanyorwa pamusoro pake, vakamuturura pamuti, vakamuradzika muguva.
30 But God raised him from the dead,
Asi Mwari wakamumutsa kubva kuvakafa;
31 and he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.
iye wakaonekwa kwemazuva mazhinji neavo vakange vakwira naye kuJerusarema vachibva Garirea, vari zvapupu zvake kuvanhu.
32 We bring you good news of the promise made to the fathers,
Nesu tinoparidza kwamuri mashoko akanaka echivimbiso chakaitwa kumadzibaba,
33 that God has fulfilled this to us, their children, in that he raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second psalm, ‘You are my Son. Today I have become your father.’
kuti Mwari wakazadzisa ichi kwatiri, isu vana vavo, pakuti wakamutsa Jesu; sezvazvakanyorwawo mupisarema rechipiri kuti: Iwe uri Mwanakomana wangu, nhasi ini ndakubereka.
34 “Concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus: ‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.’
Zvino zvekuti wakamumutsa kubva kuvakafa, asadzokerazve kukuora, wakareva sezvizvi: Ndichakupai maropafadzo matsvene anovimbika aDhavhidhi.
35 Therefore he says also in another psalm, ‘You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.’
Naizvozvowo anoti pane imwe nzvimbo: Hamungapi Mutsvene wenyu kuti aone kuora.
36 For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, was laid with his fathers, and saw decay.
Nokuti Dhavhidhi, ashumira zano raMwari pazera rake pachake wakarara, uye wakaradzikwa kumadzibaba ake, ndokuona kuora;
37 But he whom God raised up saw no decay.
asi Mwari waakamutsa, haana kuona kuora.
38 Be it known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man is proclaimed to you remission of sins;
Naizvozvo ngazvizikanwe kwamuri, varume hama, kuti neuyu kanganwiro yezvivi inoparidzirwa imwi;
39 and by him everyone who believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
uye neuyu ani nani anotenda anonzi wakarurama pazvinhu zvese zvamakange musingagoni kunzi makarurama pazviri nemurairo waMozisi.
40 Beware therefore, lest that come on you which is spoken in the prophets:
Naizvozvo onai kuti zvirege kuwira pamusoro penyu zvakarehwa muvaporofita, zvinoti:
41 ‘Behold, you scoffers! Wonder and perish, for I work a work in your days, a work which you will in no way believe, if one declares it to you.’”
Tarirai, imwi vazvidzi, uye mushamisike, nekuparadzwa; nokuti ini ndinobata basa pamazuva enyu, basa ramusingatombotendi, kunyange umwe achikurondedzerai.
42 So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.
Zvino pakubuda kweVaJudha musinagoge, vahedheni vakakumbira kuti mashoko awa ataurwe kwavari pasabata raitevera.
43 Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.
Zvino vesinagoge vakati vapera, vazhinji veVaJudha nevakatendeukira kuVaJudha vainamata vakatevera Pauro naBhanabhasi; ivo vakataura kwavari, vachivagombedzera kuti varambire munyasha dzaMwari.
44 The next Sabbath, almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God.
Zvino nesabata rakatevera guta rinenge rese rakaungana kuzonzwa shoko raMwari.
45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.
Zvino VaJudha vakati vachiona zvaunga vakazadzwa negodo, vakapikisa zvinhu zvakarehwa naPauro, vachipikisa uye vachinyomba.
46 Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, and said, “It was necessary that God’s word should be spoken to you first. Since indeed you thrust it from yourselves, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
Asi Pauro naBhanabhasi vachitaura vakashinga vakati: Zvakange zvakafanira kuti shoko raMwari ritaurirwe kwamuri pakutanga; asi zvamarininira kure, uye mazvitongera kusafanira upenyu husingaperi, tarirai, tinotendeukira kuvahedheni. (aiōnios g166)
47 For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, ‘I have set you as a light for the Gentiles, that you should bring salvation to the uttermost parts of the earth.’”
Nokuti Ishe wakatiraira saizvozvo achiti: Ndakakugadza kuva chiedza chevahedheni, kuti uve weruponeso kusvikira kumugumo wenyika.
48 As the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of God. As many as were appointed to eternal life believed. (aiōnios g166)
Zvino vahedheni vakati vachinzwa izvi vakafara, uye vakakudza shoko raIshe, neuwandu hwevese vakange vatarirwa upenyu husingaperi vakatenda; (aiōnios g166)
49 The Lord’s word was spread abroad throughout all the region.
uye shoko raIshe rikaparadzirwa kudunhu rese.
50 But the Jews stirred up the devout and prominent women and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and threw them out of their borders.
Asi VaJudha vakamutsa vakadzi vaishumira vaikudzwa, nevakuru veguta, vakamutsira Pauro naBhanabhasi rushusho, vakavadzinga kubva kumiganhu yavo.
51 But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.
Asi ivo vakavazuzira guruva retsoka dzavo, vakasvika Ikonio.
52 The disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
Zvino vadzidzi vakazadzwa nemufaro neMweya Mutsvene.
