Acts 4
1 As they spoke to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came to them,
Zvino vakati vachataura kuvanhu, vapristi nemutungamiriri wetembere neVaSadhusi vakavasvikira,
2 being upset because they taught the people and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
vachishungurudzika nokuti vanodzidzisa vanhu, nekuparidza kumuka kubva kuvakafa munaJesu.
3 They laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was now evening.
Zvino vakaisa maoko pavari ndokuisa muchitokisi kusvikira mangwana; nokuti akange atova madekwani.
4 But many of those who heard the word believed, and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.
Asi vazhinji vevakanzwa shoko vakatenda; neuwandu hwevarume hwaiva zvuru zvinenge zvishanu.
5 In the morning, their rulers, elders, and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem.
Zvino zvakaitika kuchiidza kuti kwakaungana vatungamiriri nevakuru nevanyori vavo paJerusarema,
6 Annas the high priest was there, with Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and as many as were relatives of the high priest.
naAnasi mupristi mukuru, naKayafasi, naJohwani, naArekizandira, nevese vaiva vehama dzemupristi mukuru.
7 When they had stood Peter and John in the middle of them, they inquired, “By what power, or in what name, have you done this?”
Zvino vakati vavamisa pakati, vakabvunza vachiti: Izvi imwi mazviita nesimba ripi kana nezita ripi?
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “You rulers of the people and elders of Israel,
Ipapo Petro azedzwe neMweya Mutsvene wakati kwavari: Vatongi vevanhu, nevakuru VaIsraeri;
9 if we are examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed,
kana isu tichibvunzurudzwa nhasi pamusoro pebasa rakanaka kumunhu asina simba, kuti iye waponeswa nei,
10 may it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, this man stands here before you whole in him.
ngazvizikanwe kwamuri mese, nekuvanhu vese veIsraeri, kuti nezita raJesu Kristu muNazareta, wamakaroverera pamuchinjikwa imwi, Mwari waakamutsa kubva kuvakafa, naye munhu uyu amire pano pamberi penyu apora.
11 He is ‘the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.’
Uyu ndiye ibwe rakazvidzwa nemwi vavaki, razova musoro wekona.
12 There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!”
Uye hakuna ruponeso kune umwezve; nokuti hakuna rimwe zita pasi pedenga rakapiwa pakati pevanhu, ratinofanira kuponeswa naro.
13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled. They recognized that they had been with Jesus.
Zvino vakati vachiona kusatya kwaPetro naJohwani, uye vachinzwisisa kuti vaiva vanhu vasina kudzidza uye vasina ruzivo, vakashamisika; ndokuvaziva kuti vaiva naJesu.
14 Seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
Asi vachiona munhu wakange aporeswa amire navo, vakashaiwa chavangapikisa.
15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
Zvino vakati vavaraira kuti vabude kunze kwedare remakurukota, vakarangana pakati pavo,
16 saying, “What shall we do to these men? Because indeed a notable miracle has been done through them, as can be plainly seen by all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we can’t deny it.
vachiti: Tichaitei kuvanhu ava? Nokuti zviri pachena kune vese vagere Jerusarema kuti chiratidzo chinozikanwa chaitwa navo, uye hatigoni kuzviramba.
17 But so that this spreads no further among the people, let’s threaten them, that from now on they don’t speak to anyone in this name.”
Asi kuti zvirege kunyanya kuparadzirwa pakati pevanhu, ngativayambirei zvikuru kuti varege kuchizotaura nemunhu upi neupi muzita iri.
18 They called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
Vakabva vavadana, vakavaraira kuti varege kutongotaura kana kudzidzisa muzita raJesu.
19 But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves,
Asi Petro naJohwani vakapindura vakati kwavari: Gurai, kana zvakarurama pamberi paMwari kuteerera imwi kupfuura Mwari.
20 for we can’t help telling the things which we saw and heard.”
Nokuti isu hatigoni kusataura zvatakaona nekunzwa.
21 When they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, because of the people; for everyone glorified God for that which was done.
Zvino vakati vawedzera kuvavhundudzira, vakavaregedza, vasingawani chinhu kuti vangavaranga sei nekuda kwevanhu; nokuti vese vairumbidza Mwari pamusoro pezvakaitika.
22 For the man on whom this miracle of healing was performed was more than forty years old.
Nokuti munhu wakange apfuura makore makumi mana wakange aitirwa chiratidzo ichi chekuporesa.
23 Being let go, they came to their own company and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them.
Vakati varegedzwa vakaenda kune vekwavo, vakanopira zvese vapristi vakuru nevakuru zvavakange vataura kwavari.
24 When they heard it, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord and said, “O Lord, you are God, who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them;
Zvino ivo vakati vanzwa vakasimudzira inzwi kuna Mwari nemoyo umwe, vakati: Tenzi, imwi Mwari makaita denga nenyika negungwa nezvese zviri mazviri;
25 who by the mouth of your servant David, said, ‘Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing?
makareva nemuromo waDhavhidhi, muranda wenyu muchiti: Nemhaka yei vahedheni vachiita bope, nevanhu vachifunga zvisina maturo?
26 The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers plot together, against the Lord, and against his Christ.’
Madzimambo enyika akasimuka, nevatungamiriri vakaungana pamwe chete kumirisana naIshe nekumirisana naKristu wake.
27 “For truly, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed,
Nokuti zvirokwazvo vakaungana vakamirisana neMwanakomana wenyu mutsvene Jesu, wamakazodza, vese Herodhe naPondiyo Pirato pamwe nevahedheni, nevanhu vekwaIsraeri,
28 to do whatever your hand and your counsel foreordained to happen.
kuti vaite zvese ruoko rwenyu nezano renyu zvamakagara matema kuti zviitike.
29 Now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness,
Uye ikozvino Ishe, tarirai kuvhundudzira kwavo, mupe varanda venyu kuti vataure shoko renyu nekusatya kwese,
30 while you stretch out your hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy Servant Jesus.”
pakuti mutandavadze ruoko rwenyu pakuporesa, nezviratidzo nezvishamiso zviitwe nezita reMwanakomana wenyu mutsvene Jesu.
31 When they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were gathered together. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
Zvino vakati vanyengetera nzvimbo yavakange vakaungana pairi yakazununguswa; zvino vakazadzwa vese neMweya Mutsvene, ndokutaura shoko raMwari nekusatya.
32 The multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul. Not one of them claimed that anything of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.
Zvino chaunga chevaitenda chaiva nemoyo nemweya umwe; uye kwakange kusina umwe waiti chimwe chezvaaiva nazvo ndechake, asi vakadyidzana zvinhu zvese.
33 With great power, the apostles gave their testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Great grace was on them all.
Uye nesimba guru vaapositori vakapa uchapupu hwekumuka kwaIshe Jesu; nenyasha huru dzikava pamusoro pavo vese.
34 For neither was there among them any who lacked, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold,
Nokuti pakange pasina umwe pakati pavo waishaiwa, nokuti vese vaiva vene veminda kana dzimba, vakazvitengesa, vakauisa mutengo wezvinhu zvakatengeswa,
35 and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and distribution was made to each, according as anyone had need.
vakaisa patsoka dzevaapositori; uye zvikagoverwa kune umwe neumwe zvichienderana nekushaiwa kwaaiva nako.
36 Joses, who by the apostles was also called Barnabas (which is, being interpreted, Son of Encouragement), a Levite, a man of Cyprus by race,
NaJose, wakatumidzwa nevaapositori Bhanabhasi, ndokuti kana zvichishandurwa, mwanakomana wenyaradzo, muRevhi weSaipuresi parudzi,
37 having a field, sold it and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
ane munda, wakatengesa, akauisa mari akaisa patsoka dzevaapositori.
