1 Lukumbi Apolo avi Kolinto, Pauli akagenda mu vidunda na kuhika ku Efeso kwenuko avakolili vawuliwa nunuyu,
Aporosi paakanga achiri paKorinde, Pauro akafamba nomugwagwa wakanga uchipinda nomukati menyika akasvika paEfeso. Akawana vamwe vadzidzi ipapo
2 akavakota, “Wu, mwampokili Mpungu Msopi lukumbi pamwasadiki?” Vene vakamyangula, “Lepi! Hati kuyuwana kuvi Mpungu Msopi.”
akavabvunza akati, “Makagamuchira Mweya Mutsvene here pamakatenda?” Vakapindura vakati, “Kwete, hatina kutongonzwa kuti kune Mweya Mutsvene isu.”
3 Pauli akavakota, “Ubatizu woki wemwapatili?” Vene vakamyangula, “Ubatizu wa Yohani.”
Saka Pauro akavabvunza akati, “Zvino makagamuchira rubhabhatidzo rupi?” Vakapindura vakati, “Rubhabhatidzo rwaJohani.”
4 Namwene Pauli akajova, “Ubatizu wa Yohani wavi ndava ya kulangisa kuvya vandu vamali kumuwuyila Chapanga. Yohani avajovili vandu kuvya vamsadikayi yula mweibwela palongolo yaki ndi Yesu.”
Pauro akati, “Rubhabhatidzo rwaJohani rwaiva rubhabhatidzo rwokutendeuka. Akaudza vanhu kuti vatende kuna iye aizouya mumashure make, iye Jesu.”
5 Hinu pevamali kugayuwanila genago, ndi vakabatiziwa muliina la Bambu Yesu.
Vakati vanzwa izvi, vakabhabhatidzwa muzita raIshe Jesu.
6 Pauli avapamisi mawoko panani yavi na Mpungu Msopi akavahelelela, vakatumbula kulongela luga ya chiyehe na kukokosa ujumbi wa Chapanga.
Pauro akati aisa maoko ake pamusoro pavo, Mweya Mutsvene wakauya pamusoro pavo, uye vakataura nendimi vakaprofita.
7 Jumula vavi vagosi kumi na vavili.
Vakanga vari varume vanenge gumi navaviri vose.
8 Mulukumbi lwa miheyi yidatu Pauli ayendalili kuyingila munyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi, na kukokosa cha ukekesi na kukotana nawu ndava kuvakofwa kuuvala Unkosi wa Chapanga.
Pauro akapinda musinagoge akataura asingatyi imomo kwemwedzi mitatu, achikakavadzana navo zvinyoronyoro pamusoro poumambo hwaMwari.
9 Nambu vangi vavi na mitima yeyitopa hati vakabela kusadika, vakajova gahakau ndava ya Njila ya Bambu palongo ya msambi wa vandu. Ndi Pauli akajibagula mwene pamonga na vamsadika vala, na kila ligono akakotana nawu mu libanji la mawuliwu la mundu mmonga liina laki Tilano.
Asi vamwe vavo vakaomesa mwoyo yavo; vakaramba kutenda uye vakatsoropodza Nzira iyo pamberi pavanhu. Saka Pauro akabva pavari. Akatora vadzidzi akaenda navo akandoita hurukuro navo zuva nezuva pachikoro chaTirano.
10 Mambu ago gehengiki mulukumbi lwa miyaka yivili hati vakolonjinji voha va Asia, Vayawudi na vandu vangali Vayawudi vakayuwana Lilovi la Bambu.
Izvi zvakaramba zvichiitwa kwamakore maviri, zvokuti vaJudha vose navaGiriki vaigara munyika yeEzhia vakanzwa shoko raShe.
11 Chapanga akitili gachinamititi ga kukangasa gamahele mu mawoko ya Pauli.
Mwari akaita mabasa anoshamisa kubudikidza naPauro,
12 Hati vandu vavi mukutola hitambala ya kuhungulila na nyula zeazipamisi Pauli. Vavapelekili vatamu wavi ndi vakalama na vana mizuka mewawa, mizuka yikavahuma.
zvokuti kunyange nehangachepfu namaapuroni akanga ari pamuviri wake zvakaendeswa kuvarwere, zvirwere zvavo zvikaporeswa uye mweya yakaipa ikabva pavari.
13 Mewawa kwavili na Vayawudi vevatyalatyala kuni na kula, kuvinga mizuka navene valinga mewa kuluwula liina la Bambu Yesu. Mewa vijova, “Nikulagiza umuhuma paliina la Yesu yula mweakumkokosa Pauli.”
Vamwe vaJudha vaifamba vachidzinga mweya yakaipa vakaedza kudana zita raJesu pamusoro paavo vakanga vakabatwa namadhimoni vachiti, “Muzita raJesu, anoparidzwa naPauro, ndinokurayira kuti ubude.”
14 Vevakita genago pagati yavi vavi vasongolo saba va Sikewa, mmonga wa Vateta Vakulu wa Vayawudi.
Vanakomana vanomwe vaSikevha muprista mukuru wavaJudha, vakanga vachiita izvozvo.
15 Nambu mzuka mhakau wula ukavayangula, “Nikummanya Yesu, na kavili nikummanya Pauli, nambu mwavayani nyenye?”
Rimwe zuva mweya wakaipa wakavapindura ukati, “Jesu ndinomuziva, uye ndinoziva nezvaPauro, asi imi ndimi vanaaniko?”
16 Na mundu mweatalaliwi na mzuka yula akavahumbila kwa chigigi voha vavili avashindili makakala. Navene vakajumba changali nyula kuni vana mavamba.
Ipapo murume akanga ane mweya wakaipa akasvetukira pavari akavakurira vose. Akavarova zvokuti vakamhanya vachibuda mumba vasina kupfeka uye vachibuda ropa.
17 Mundu yeyoha mweitama ku Efeso, Myawudi na angali kuvya Myawudi, ayuwini lijambu lenilo. Voha vakavya na wogohi, vakalilumba liina la Bambu Yesu.
Izvi zvakati zvazivikanwa navaJudha navaGiriki vaigara muEfeso, vose vakabatwa nokutya, uye zita raIshe Jesu rakakudzwa nokukudzwa kukuru.
18 Vamsadika vamahele vakabwela na kujova hotohoto pavandu mambu gahakau gevahengili.
Zvino vazhinji vavakanga vatenda vakauya vakareurura pachena mabasa avo akanga akaipa.
19 Vandu vamahele pagati ya vala vevikita mambu ga uhavi vakatola hitabu yavi na kuyocha motu palongo ya voha. Vakavalanga bei ya hitabu yahikili mashonga elufu hamsini.
Vazhinji vakanga vachiita zvounʼanga vakaunganidza mabhuku avo pamwe chete vakaapisa pamberi pavanhu. Vakati vaverenga mutengo wamabhuku acho, mari ikasvika madhirakema zviuru makumi mashanu.
20 Munjila yeniyo ndi Lilovi la Bambu chalayonjokisiki kudandasika na kuvya na makakala neju.
Nenzira iyi shoko raMwari rakapararira kwazvo uye rikakura musimba.
21 Chechagelekili mu mambu ago, Pauli akahamwili kuhamba ku Yelusalemu kwa kupitila Makedonia na Akaya. Akajova, “Nakahika kwenuko, mewawa yikunigana nigendelela ku Loma.”
Shure kwokunge zvose izvi zvaitika, Pauro akafunga zvokuenda kuJerusarema achipfuura nokuMasedhonia, nokuAkaya achiti, “Kana ndambosvika ikoko, ndinofanira kushanyirawo Roma.”
22 Kangi avatumili vamtangatila vaki, Timoti na Elasito, vamlongolela kuhamba ku Makedonia, kuni mwene asigalili ku Asia magono gadebe.
Akatuma vabatsiri vake vaviri, Timoti naErastasi, kuMasedhonia, iye achimbosara munyika yeEzhia kwechinguva.
23 Lukumbi lwenulo kweahumili chitututu neju ku Efeso ndava ya Njila yeniyo ya Bambu.
Nenguva yakaita saiyoyo bope guru rakamuka pamusoro peNzira iyi.
24 Mfukuta vindu vya madini ga mashonga mmonga liina laki Demetilio, mweavi na lihengu la kutengeneza majengu gadebe gadebe gegiwanangana na nyumba ya chapanga mdala Atemi. Lihengu lila lavapelili chiyonjokesu chivaha vahengati vaki.
Mumwe mupfuri wesirivha ainzi Dhemetiri akanga achigadzira zvitemberi zvesirivha zvaAritemisi, zvakanga zvichipfumisa zvikuru mhizha dzavo.
25 Demetilio avakemili pamonga na vanalihengu vangi ngati laki akavajovela, “Vagosi, mmanyili kuvya mashonga gemwipata gihumila mulihengu lenili.
Akavaunganidza vose, pamwe chete navabati vaishanda mabasa akadaro, akati kwavari, “Varume, imi munoziva kuti takanga tichiwana pfuma yakanaka nebasa iri.
26 Hinu mwihotola kuyuwana na kujilolela mwavene mambu geihenga Pauli, lepi Pa Efeso pene, nambu mewa ku Asia yoha. Mwene akuvakulukisa na kuvang'anamusa vandu vasadikayi kuvya vachapanga vala vevitengenezwa na vandu, hati padebe lepi vachapanga.
Zvino munozvionawo nokuzvinzwira kuti murume uyu Pauro akadzidzisa uye akatsausa vanhu vazhinji muno muEfeso, uye zviri pachena kuti nomunyika yose yeEzhia zvayo, anoti vamwari vakaitwa navanhu havasi vamwari chaivo.
27 Nga lepi lihengu litu livii muhatali ya kuveveswa, nambu mewawa na nyumba ya chapanga mdala mweavimkulu, Atemi, kuvalangiwa chindu lepi. Na kuwusiwa ukulu waki, mwene mweigundamiliwa Asia na mulima woha.”
Zvino njodzi iripo ndeyokuti harizi basa redu bedzi richarasikirwa nembiri yaro, asiwo temberi yamwari wedu mukuru, Aritemisi, ichazvidzwa uye iye mwarikadzi pachake, anova ndiye ari kunamatwa munyika yose yeEzhia uye nenyika yose, achatorerwa ukuru hwake.”
28 Pevayuwini genago, vakamema ligoga na kutumbula kuywanga, “Mkulu ndi Atemi wa ku Efeso!”
Vakati vanzwa izvi, vakashatirwa vakatanga kudanidzira vachiti, “Mukuru ndiAritemisi wavaEfeso!”
29 Muji woha ukamema chitututu, vakavakamula Gayo na Alistako vakolonjinji va Makedonia, vevavi mulugendu pamonga na Pauli, vakavajumbisa mbaka mu libanji la mikinu.
Pakarepo guta rose rakanyonganiswa. Vanhu vakabata Gayo naAristakusi, shamwari dzaPauro dzaaifamba nadzo dzaibva kuMasedhonia, vakamhanya navo nomwoyo mumwe vakapinda navo munhandare.
30 Pauli aganili kujilangisa mu msambi wa vandu, nambu vawuliwa vakambesa.
Pauro akanga achida kuzviratidza pamberi pemhomho, asi vadzidzi vakamudzivisa.
31 Hati vakulu nunuyu va muji wa Asia vevavi vankozi vaki, vampelekili ujumbi Pauli, vakamjovela akotoka kujiyagisa mukuhamba kulibanji la mikinu.
Kunyange vamwe vakuru veEzhia, shamwari dzaPauro, vakamutumira shoko vachimukumbirisa kuti arege kuedza kupinda munhandare.
32 Lukumbi lwenulo kila mundu aywangayi, vangi vijova aga na vangi vijova gala, hati mngonganu wula ukapechengana. Vangi nakumanya hati ndava ya kukonganeka kwavi.
Ungano yakanga yanyonganiswa: vamwe vaidaidzira chimwe chinhu, vamwe chimwe. Vazhinji vavanhu vakanga vasingatongozivi kuti sei vakanga varipo.
33 Vayawudi vakamkang'a palongolo ya vandu mundu mmonga mweikemiwa Alekisanda, ndi vakamuwusa mwene palongolo ya vandu, Alekizanda akavapungila vandu chiwoko kuvagunisa. Muni aganayi kujikengelela palongolo yavi.
VaJudha vakasundidzira Arekizanda mberi, uye vamwe vazhinji vaidanidzira vachimurayira zvokuita. Akaninira vanhu kuti vanyarare kuitira kuti agone kuzvidavirira pamberi pavanhu.
34 Nambu pevamanyili kuvya mwene ndi Myawudi, voha kwa pamonga vakaywanga, “Mkulu ndi Atemi wa ku Efeso!” Mewawa vakayendelela kuywanga mulukumbi lwa masaa gavili.
Asi pavakaona kuti iye aiva muJudha, vose vakadanidzira pamwe chete kwenguva dzinenge maawa maviri vachiti, “Mukuru ndiAritemisi wavaEfeso!”
35 Pamwishu myimilila lihengu wa muji akahotola kuvagunisa vandu, akavajovela, “Vakolonjinji va ku Efeso, kila mundu imanya kuvya muji witu ndi mlonda wa nyumba ya chapanga Atemi na liganga lamsopi leligwili kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga.
Munyori weguta akanyaradza vanhu akati, “Varume veEfeso, ko, nyika yose haizivi here kuti guta reEfeso ndiro rinochengeta temberi yaAritemisi mukuru nomufananidzo wake, uyo wakawa uchibva kudenga?
36 Avi lepi mweihotola kubela mambu aga. Ndi, yikuvagana kuguna, mkotoka kuhenga chindu changa hololela.
Naizvozvo, sezvo izvi zvisingagoni kurambika, munofanira kuti munyarare murege kumhanyira kuita chinhu.
37 Ndava muni muvaletili vandu apa, pamonga vayivi lepi vindu vya nyumba ya chapanga amala kumliga chapanga witu wa chidala.
Mauya navarume ava pano, kunyange zvavo vasina kuba temberi dzedu kana kumhura mwarikadzi wedu.
38 Ngati, Demetilio na vana lihengu vaki vavi na mhalu wavi ndava ya vandu ava, gavi kulibanji la mihalu na kwa na vakulu va miji, vihotola kutakila kwenuko.
Zvino, kana Dhemetiri nedzimwe mhizha dzaanadzo vakange vane mhosva naani zvake, matare edzimhosva akazarurwa uye vatongi varimo. Vanogona kuvakwirira havo.
39 Ngati muvi na mambu gangi, mugapeleka mumngonganu wewuyidakiliwa.
Kana pane chimwe chinhuzve chamungada kutaura, chinofanira kutaurwa paungano iri pamutemo.
40 Muni tivii muhatali ya kutakiliwa ndava ya chitututu cha lelu, muni kawaka chanzu cha chitututu chenichi.”
Asi sezvazviri izvi, tiri panjodzi yokuti tingangopiwa mhosva yokumutsa bongozozo nokuda kwezvaitika nhasi. Kana pane chimwezve chamungada kutaura, chinofanira kutaurwa paungano iri pamutemo.”
41 Peamali kujova genago, akamala mngonganu.
Akati ataura izvi, akarayira kuti ungano iparare.
