Acts 28
1 And having been saved, then they knew that the island is called Melita,
Zvino vakati vapona, ipapo vakaziva kuti chiwi chinonzi Merita.
2 and the foreigners were shewing us no ordinary kindness, for having kindled a fire, they received us all, because of the pressing rain, and because of the cold;
Zvino vatorwa vakatiitira unyoro husina kujairika; nokuti vakavesa moto, vakatigamuchira tese, nekuda kwemvura yaitanga uye nekuda kwechando.
3 but Paul having gathered together a quantity of sticks, and having laid [them] upon the fire, a viper — out of the heat having come — did fasten on his hand.
Zvino Pauro wakati aunganidza svinga rehuni, akaisa pamoto, kwakabuda chiva kubva murudziyira, chikakwinyira paruoko rwake.
4 And when the foreigners saw the beast hanging from his hand, they said unto one another, 'Certainly this man is a murderer, whom, having been saved out of the sea, the justice did not suffer to live;'
Zvino vatorwa vakati vachiona chikara chakaremberera paruoko rwake, vakataurirana vachiti: Zvirokwazvo munhu uyu imhondi, iye kunyange apukunyuka gungwa, kururama hakumutenderi kurarama.
5 he then, indeed, having shaken off the beast into the fire, suffered no evil,
Iye ndokuzuzira chikara mumoto, akasambokuvara.
6 and they were expecting him to be about to be inflamed, or to fall down suddenly dead, and they, expecting [it] a long time, and seeing nothing uncommon happening to him, changing [their] minds, said he was a god.
Zvino vakatarisira kuti iye achazvimba, kana kuwira pasi pakarepo akafa; asi vakati vatarira nguva refu, vakaona pasina chinhu chisina kujairika chaitika kwaari, vakashandura fungwa dzavo voti iye ndimwari.
7 And in the neighbourhood of that place were lands of the principal man of the island, by name Publius, who, having received us, three days did courteously lodge [us];
Zvino panharaunda yenzvimbo iyo paiva neminda yemukuru wechiwi wainzi Pubhirio; iye wakatigamuchira akatigarisa zvakanaka mazuva matatu.
8 and it came to pass, the father of Publius with feverish heats and dysentery pressed, was laid, unto whom Paul having entered, and having prayed, having laid [his] hands on him, healed him;
Zvino zvakaitika kuti baba vaPubhirio vakange varere vakabatwa nefivhiri nemudumbu weropa; kwavari Pauro kwaakapinda, akanyengetera, akaisa maoko pamusoro pavo, akavaporesa.
9 this, therefore, being done, the others also in the island having infirmities were coming and were healed;
Naizvozvo izvi zvakati zvaitika, vamwewo vaiva nezvirwere pachiwi vakaswedera ndokuporeswa;
10 who also with many honours did honour us, and we setting sail — they were lading [us] with the things that were necessary.
ivo vakatikudzawo nerukudzo ruzhinji, uye toenda nechikepe, vakakwidza zvinhu zvaidikanwa.
11 And after three months, we set sail in a ship (that had wintered in the isle) of Alexandria, with the sign Dioscuri,
Zvino shure kwemwedzi mitatu takabva nechikepe cheArekizandiria, chakange chagara muchando pachiwi, chaiva nechiratidzo chekuti Dhiosikuri.
12 and having landed at Syracuse, we remained three days,
Zvino tasvika paSirakuse takagara mazuva matatu.
13 thence having gone round, we came to Rhegium, and after one day, a south wind having sprung up, the second [day] we came to Puteoli;
Tabvapo tikatenderera tikasvika kuRegiomu; zvino shure kwezuva rimwe mhepo yechamhembe ikasimuka, zuva repiri tikasvika muPuteori;
14 where, having found brethren, we were called upon to remain with them seven days, and thus to Rome we came;
matakawana hama, tikakumbirwa kugara nadzo mazuva manomwe; saizvozvowo takaenda kuRoma.
15 and thence, the brethren having heard the things concerning us, came forth to meet us, unto Appii Forum, and Three Taverns — whom Paul having seen, having given thanks to God, took courage.
Zvino kubva ipapo hama dzakati dzanzwa nezvedu, dzikabuda kuzotichingamidza kudzamara Apio Foramu nepaDzimba Dzevaeni Nhatu; ivo Pauro vaakati achiona, akavonga Mwari, akatsunga moyo.
16 And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered up the prisoners to the captain of the barrack, but Paul was suffered to remain by himself, with the soldier guarding him.
Zvino takati tasvika kuRoma, mukuru wezana akakumikidza vasungwa kumutungamiriri wevarindi; asi Pauro wakatenderwa kugara ari ega, nemuuto anomurinda.
17 And it came to pass after three days, Paul called together those who are the principal men of the Jews, and they having come together, he said unto them: 'Men, brethren, I — having done nothing contrary to the people, or to the customs of the fathers — a prisoner from Jerusalem, was delivered up to the hands of the Romans;
Zvino zvikaitika shure kwemazuva matatu, kuti Pauro wakadanira vaiva vakuru veVaJudha pamwe; zvino vakati vaungana, akati kwavari: Varume hama, ini ndisina kuita chinhu chinopesana nerudzi kana tsika dzemadzibaba, ndiri musungwa ndabva kuJerusarema ndakumikidzwa pamaoko eVaRoma;
18 who, having examined me, were wishing to release [me], because of their being no cause of death in me,
ivo vakati vandiongorora vakada kundisunungura, nokuti pakange pasina chikonzero cherufu kwandiri.
19 and the Jews having spoken against [it], I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar — not as having anything to accuse my nation of;
Asi VaJudha vakaramba, ndikarovererwa kuikwidza kuna Kesari, kwete kuti ndaiva nechinhu chekumhan'arira rudzi rwangu.
20 for this cause, therefore, I called for you to see and to speak with [you], for because of the hope of Israel with this chain I am bound.'
Naizvozvo nekuda kwechikonzero ichi ndakudanai kuti ndikuonei, nditaure nemwi; nokuti ndakamoneredzwa neketani iyi nekuda kwetariro yaIsraeri.
21 And they said unto him, 'We did neither receive letters concerning thee from Judea, nor did any one who came of the brethren declare or speak any evil concerning thee,
Zvino vakati kwaari: Isu hatina kugamuchira tsamba kubva kuJudhiya pamusoro pako, uye hakuna umwe wehama, wakati asvika, akatipira kana kutaura chinhu chakaipa pamusoro pako.
22 and we think it good from thee to hear what thou dost think, for, indeed, concerning this sect it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against;'
Asi tinoda kunzwa newe zvaunofunga; nokuti maererano nebato iri tinoziva kuti rinopikiswa kwese-kwese.
23 and having appointed him a day, they came, more of them unto him, to the lodging, to whom he was expounding, testifying fully the reign of God, persuading them also of the things concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses, and the prophets, from morning till evening,
Zvino vakati vamutarira zuva, vazhinji vakauya kwaari kuimba yevaenzi; akavadudzira achivapupurira ushe hwaMwari, akavagombedzera zviri maererano naJesu, zvese kubva pamurairo waMozisi nevaporofita, kubva mangwanani kusvikira madekwani.
24 and, some, indeed, were believing the things spoken, and some were not believing.
Zvino vamwe vakatenda zvinhu zvakataurwa, asi vamwe vakasatenda.
25 And not being agreed with one another, they were going away, Paul having spoken one word — 'Well did the Holy Spirit speak through Isaiah the prophet unto our fathers,
Zvino zvavakange vasingawirirani pachavo, vakaenda, Pauro ataura shoko rimwe chete rekuti: Mweya Mutsvene wakataura zvakanaka naIsaya muporofita kumadzibaba edu,
26 saying, Go on unto this people and say, With hearing ye shall hear, and ye shall not understand, and seeing ye shall see, and ye shall not perceive,
achiti: Enda kurudzi urwu ugoti: Nekunzwa muchanzwa, uye hamungatongonzwisisi; nekuona muchaona, uye hamungatongoonesesi.
27 for made gross was the heart of this people, and with the ears they heard heavily, and their eyes they did close, lest they may see with the eyes, and with the heart may understand, and be turned back, and I may heal them.
Nokuti moyo wevanhu ava wakasindimadzwa, uye nenzeve vanonzwa nemutsutsururu, nemeso avo vakavhara; kuti zvimwe vangaona nemeso, nekunzwa nenzeve, nekunzwisisa nemoyo, zvino vatendeuke, ndigovaporesa.
28 'Be it known, therefore, to you, that to the nations was sent the salvation of God, these also will hear it;'
Naizvozvo ngazvizikanwe kwamuri, kuti ruponeso rwaMwari rwunotumirwa kuvahedheni, ivo vachanzwawo.
29 and he having said these things, the Jews went away, having much disputation among themselves;
Zvino wakati ataura zvinhu izvi, VaJudha vakaenda, vachiita nharo huru pakati pavo.
30 and Paul remained an entire two years in his own hired [house], and was receiving all those coming in unto him,
Pauro akagara makore maviri agere muimba yake pachake yaairipira mari, uye akagamuchira vese vaipinda kwaari,
31 preaching the reign of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness — unforbidden.
achiparidza ushe hwaMwari, nekudzidzisa zviri maererano naIshe Jesu Kristu, neushingi hwese, pasina kudziviswa.
