Acts 1
1 The first book I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
Rondedzero yekutanga ndakaiita, haiwa Teofiro, pamusoro pezvese Jesu zvaakatanga kuita uyewo kudzidzisa,
2 until the day in which he was received up, after he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.
kusvikira zuva raakakwidzwa, amboraira neMweya Mutsvene kuvaapositori vaakange asarudza;
3 To these he also showed himself alive after he suffered, by many proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days and speaking about God’s Kingdom.
vaakazviratidzawo kwavari ari mupenyu shure kwekutambudzika kwake neuchapupu uzhinji hunopwisa, achionekwa navo kwemazuva makumi mana, achitaura zvinhu zveushe hwaMwari.
4 Being assembled together with them, he commanded them, “Don’t depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which you heard from me.
Zvino aungana navo, akavaraira kuti varege kubva muJerusarema asi vamirire chivimbiso chaBaba, chamakanzwa neni;
5 For John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
nokuti Johwani zvirokwazvo wakabhabhatidza nemvura, asi imwi muchabhabhatidzwa neMweya Mutsvene pasina mazuva mazhinji kubva ikozvino.
6 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?”
Naizvozvo ivo vakati vaungana vakamubvunza vachiti: Ishe, muchadzosera ushe kuna Israeri nenguva ino here?
7 He said to them, “It isn’t for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority.
Zvino akati kwavari: Hazvisi zvenyu kuziva nguva kana misi Baba yavakatara nesimba ravo pachavo;
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth.”
asi muchagamuchira simba, Mweya Mutsvene asvika pamusoro penyu; uye muchava zvapupu zvangu zvese paJerusarema nemuJudhiya mese nemuSamaria, kusvikirawo kumugumo wenyika.
9 When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Zvino wakati areva zvinhu izvi, akakwidzwa vakatarira, negore rikamubvisa pameso avo.
10 While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white clothing,
Zvino vachakatarisisa kudenga, achikwira, zvino tarira, varume vaviri vakamira navo nenguvo chena;
11 who also said, “You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who was received up from you into the sky, will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky.”
ivowo vakati: Varume veGarirea, makamirirei makatarisisa kudenga? Iyeyu Jesu, anobviswa kwamuri achikwidzwa kudenga, achauya saizvozvo sezvamunomuona achienda kudenga.
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away.
Zvino vakadzokera kuJerusarema vachibva pagomo rinonzi reMiorivhi riri pedo neJerusarema, chinhambwe cherwendo rwesabata.
13 When they had come in, they went up into the upper room where they were staying, that is Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.
Vakati vapinda, vakakwira mukamuri yepamusoro apo paigara vese Petro naJakobho naJohwani naAndiriya, Firipi naTomasi, Bhatironomiyo naMatewu, Jakobho waArifio naSimoni muZiroti, naJudhasi waJakobho.
14 All these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer and supplication, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
Ava vese vakatsungirira nemoyo umwe mumunyengetero nemukumbiro, pamwe nevakadzi, naMaria mai vaJesu, uye nevanin'ina vake.
15 In these days, Peter stood up in the middle of the disciples (and the number of names was about one hundred twenty), and said,
Zvino mumazuva iwayo Petro wakasimuka pakati pevadzidzi akati (kwaiva nechaunga nevanhu pamwe vanenge zana nemakumi maviri):
16 “Brothers, it was necessary that this Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus.
Varume hama, zvakafanira kuti rugwaro urwu rwuzadziswe, Mweya Mutsvene zvawakagara wataura nemuromo waDhavhidhi pamusoro paJudhasi, wakange ari mutungamiriri wevaya vakabata Jesu,
17 For he was counted with us, and received his portion in this ministry.
nokuti wakange achiverengwa pamwe nesu, akagamuchira mugove weushumiri uhu.
18 Now this man obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness; and falling headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines gushed out.
Zvino uyu wakawana munda nemubairo wezvakaipa, akawa nemusoro, akaparuka nepakati, ura hwake hwese hukabvajukira kunze.
19 It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called ‘Akeldama,’ that is, ‘The field of blood.’
Zvikanzwikwa kuvagari vese paJerusarema, zvekuti munda uyo watumidzwa nerurimi rwavo pachavo kuti Akeridhama, ndiko kuti: Munda weropa.
20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, ‘Let his habitation be made desolate. Let no one dwell in it;’ and, ‘Let another take his office.’
Nokuti zvakanyorwa mubhuku reMapisarema zvichinzi: Musha wake ngauve dongo, uye kurege kuva neanogara mauri; uye: Utariri hwake, umwe ngaatore.
21 “Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
Naizvozvo zvakafanira pavarume ava vaifamba nesu munguva yese, apo Ishe Jesu aipinda nekubuda pakati pedu,
22 beginning from the baptism of John to the day that he was received up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of his resurrection.”
kutanga parubhabhatidzo rwaJohwani, kusvikira pazuva raakwidzwa kubva kwatiri, umwe wavo ngaave chapupu pamwe nesu chekumuka kwake.
23 They put forward two: Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also called Justus, and Matthias.
Zvino vakamisa vaviri: Josefa wainzi Bharisabhasi, wakatumidzwawo Jusito, naMatiasi.
24 They prayed and said, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two you have chosen
Vakanyengetera vachiti: Imwi Ishe, imwi muzivi wemoyo yevese, taridzai umwe pavaviri ava wamasarudza,
25 to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place.”
kugamuchira mugove paushumiri nevuapositori, Judhasi hwaakatsauka pahuri, kuti aende panzvimbo yake pachake.
26 They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias; and he was counted with the eleven apostles.
Zvino vakavapa mijenya yavo, mujenya ukawira pana Matiasi; akaverengwa pamwe nevaapositori vanegumi neumwe.
