10 Na kalonga, “Gwenga! Gwenga mwana gwa Mkondola! Gwenga gwa mngondu gwa shoseri shilii shashimfiriziya Mlungu, goya ndiri ata mala yimu kujera kuzipotiziya njira za Mtuwa zyazinyoshikiti.
wakati: Iwe uzere nekubiridzira kwese nekunyengera kwese, mwanakomana wadhiabhorosi, muvengi wekururama kwese, haugumi here kutsausa nzira dzakarurama dzaIshe?
11 Vinu, liwoku lwa Mtuwa halikukomi, haguweri na lwisi na hapeni guwezi kuwona uweru wa mshenji kwa shipindi.” Katepu Elima masu gakuwi gadunuka kanja kugenda aku na aku pakasakula muntu gwa kumkola liwoku kamlonguziyi.

Panguva iyo mutungamiriri wakati aona zvakaitika akatenda, achishamiswa nedzidziso yaIshe.
13 Kulawa Pafu, Paulu na wayaguwi wagenda nyanyi mpaka Periga Mupamfiliya, kumbiti Yohani Mariku kawalekiti, kawuya Yerusalemu.

Zvino wakati amubvisa, wakavamutsira Dhavhidhi kuva mambo, waakapupurirawo akati: Ndawana Dhavhidhi waJese, murume anoenderana nemoyo wangu, achaita chido changu chese.
23 Kulawa mushiyiwuku sha muntu ayu, Mlungu kawajegera Waisraeli Mlopoziya mweni ndo Yesu ntambu yakalagiliti.
Pambeu yeuyu sechivimbiso, Mwari wakamutsira Israeri Muponesi Jesu;
24 Pamberi pa Yesu kwanja lihengu lyakuwi, Yohani kawabweliriti wantu woseri wa Israeli handa mpaka waleki vidoda na wabatizwi.
iye asati asvika Johwani wakaparidza pakutanga rubhabhatidzo rwekutendeuka kuvanhu vese VaIsraeri.

Zvino Johwani wakati azadzisa rwendo, akati: Munofunga kuti ndini ani? Ini handisi iye, asi tarirai, shure kwangu anouya, wandisakafanira kusunungura shangu dzetsoka dzake.
26 “Walongu, mwenga wamwera wananguta wa lukolu lwa Aburahamu, na woseri wawawera Wayawudi ndiri wamwamguwira Mlungu! Ujumbi awu wa ulopoziya ujegwa kwa twenga.
Varume hama, vana verudzi rwaAbhurahama, neavo pakati penyu vanotya Mwari, shoko reruponeso urwu ratumirwa kwamuri.
27 Toziya wenikaya wa Yerusalemu na wakulu wawu wammana ndiri weri mlopoziya, wala wavimana ndiri visoweru vya wambuyi wa Mlungu vyawabetula kila lishaka lya kwoyera. Ata hangu, wavitenditi visoweru vya wambuyi vitimii kwa kumtoza Yesu kuhowa.
Nokuti avo vanogara muJerusarema nevatungamiriri vavo havana kumuziva uyu, uye manzwi evaporofita anoverengwa sabata rimwe nerimwe, vakaazadzisa pakumurasa;

30 Kumbiti Mlungu kamzyukisiyiti kulawa kwahowiti.
Asi Mwari wakamumutsa kubva kuvakafa;
31 Na kwa mashaka gavuwa kawalawiriti walii wawagenditi pamwera nayomberi kulawa Galilaya mpaka Yerusalemu. Awa ndo walii vinu makapitawu wakuwi kwa wantu wa Izraeli.

32 Na vinu Barinaba na neni twa panu kuwajegera mwenga Visoweru Viwagira. Lagilu la Mlungu kwa wambuyi wa twenga liwera nakaka mushipindi shetu,
Nesu tinoparidza kwamuri mashoko akanaka echivimbiso chakaitwa kumadzibaba,

34 Na kwa kumzyukisiya kulawa kwawahowiti, hakenipati kayi kuwuya aku na kuwola, Mlungu katakuliti hangu, ‘Hanukutekeleri tekeleru nanagala na yanakaka Yanumwaiditi Dawudi.’

35 Yina, na Muzaburi zimonga kalonga, ‘Hapeni numuleki Mnanagala gwaku kawoli.’
Naizvozvowo anoti pane imwe nzvimbo: Hamungapi Mutsvene wenyu kuti aone kuora.
36 “Dawudi mweni katimiziti mafiliru ga Mlungu shipindi shakuwi, na shakapanu kahowa na kusilwa pakwegera na wazewi wakuwi, na nshimba yakuwi iwola.
Nokuti Dhavhidhi, ashumira zano raMwari pazera rake pachake wakarara, uye wakaradzikwa kumadzibaba ake, ndokuona kuora;
37 Kumbiti ulii ndo Mlungu kamzyukisiyiti kulawa kwawahowiti hakenipati kuwola.
asi Mwari waakamutsa, haana kuona kuora.
38 Su muvimani walongu wangu, kuwera kupitira Yesu Ujumbi wa kulekiziya vidoda ubweritwi kwa mwenga,
Naizvozvo ngazvizikanwe kwamuri, varume hama, kuti neuyu kanganwiro yezvivi inoparidzirwa imwi;

Tarirai, imwi vazvidzi, uye mushamisike, nekuparadzwa; nokuti ini ndinobata basa pamazuva enyu, basa ramusingatombotendi, kunyange umwe achikurondedzerai.
42 Paulu na Barinaba pawaweriti wankulawa mnumba ya Mlungu, wantu walii wawashemiti kayi lishaka lya kwoyera lyalifatiti, wayoweri nentu kuusu shitwatira ashi.
Zvino pakubuda kweVaJudha musinagoge, vahedheni vakakumbira kuti mashoko awa ataurwe kwavari pasabata raitevera.
43 Kuliwona aku pakumalilikiti, Wayawudi wavuwa na wantu Wayawudi ndiri waweriti wingira dini ya Shiyawudi wawagendiriti Paulu na Barinaba. Wantumini awa wayoweriti nawa, wawatula moyu wendereyi kulikala walitumbiri manemu ga Mlungu.
