Mabasa 11

1 Vapostori nehama dzomuJudhea yose vakanzwa kuti vedzimwe ndudzi vakanga vagamuchirawo shoko raMwari.

And the apostles and the brothers who are in Judea heard that the nations also received the word of God,

2 Saka Petro akati aenda kuJerusarema, vatendi vokudzingiswa vakamutsoropodza

and when Peter came up to Jerusalem, those of circumcision were contending with him,

3 vachiti, “Iwe wakapinda mumba yavanhu vasina kudzingiswa ukandodya navo.”

saying, “You went in to uncircumcised men, and ate with them!”

4 Petro akatanga kurondedzera zvinhu zvose kwavari zvichitevedzana sokuitika kwazvakanga zvaita achiti,

And Peter having begun, set [it] forth to them in order, saying,

5 “Ndakanga ndiri muguta reJopa ndichinyengetera, ndikabatwa nomweya ndikaona chiratidzo. Ndakaona chimwe chinhu chakanga chakaita sejira guru, chichiburutswa kubva kudenga namakona acho mana, uye chakaburuka chikasvika pandaiva.

“I was in the city of Joppa praying, and I saw in a trance a vision, a certain vessel coming down, as a great sheet by four corners being let down out of Heaven, and it came to me;

6 Ndakatarira mukati macho ndikaona mhuka dzenyika dzina makumbo mana, zvikara zvesango, nezvinokambaira uye neshiri dzedenga.

at which having looked steadfastly, I was considering, and I saw the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the birds of the sky;

7 “Ipapo ndakanzwa inzwi richiti kwandiri, ‘Simuka, Petro. Baya udye.’

and I heard a voice saying to me, Having risen, Peter, slay and eat;

8 “Ndakapindura ndikati, ‘Zvirokwazvo kwete, Ishe! Hakuna chinhu chisina kunaka kana chine tsvina chakatombopinda mumuromo mangu.’

and I said, Not so, Lord, because anything common or unclean has at no time entered into my mouth;

9 “Inzwi rakataurazve kechipiri richibva kudenga richiti, ‘Usati chinhu chipi zvacho chakanatswa naMwari hachina kunaka.’

and a voice answered me a second time out of Heaven, What God cleansed, you do not declare common.

10 Izvi zvakaitika katatu, uye ipapo jira nezvose zvikadzoserwazve kudenga.

And this happened three times, and again was all drawn up to Heaven,

11 “Pakarepo varume vatatu vakanga vatumwa kwandiri vachibva kuKesaria vakamira pamba pandaigara.

and behold, immediately, three men stood at the house in which I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me,

12 Mweya Mutsvene akandiudza kuti ndirege kunonoka kuenda navo. Hama nhanhatu idzi dzakaendawo neni, uye takasvikopinda mumba momurume uya.

and the Spirit said to me to go with them, doubting nothing, and these six brothers also went with me, and we entered into the house of the man,

13 Akatirondedzera maonero aakanga aita mutumwa mumba make, uyo akati, ‘Tuma vanhu kuJopa kuna Simoni anonzi Petro.

he also declared to us how he saw the messenger standing in his house, and saying to him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter,

14 Iye achakuvigirai shoko richaponesa iwe neveimba yako vose.’

who will speak sayings by which you will be saved, you and all your house.

15 “Pandakatanga kutaura, Mweya Mutsvene akauya pamusoro pavo samauyiro aakaita kwatiri pakutanga.

And in my beginning to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as also on us in the beginning,

16 Ipapo ndakarangarira zvakanga zvarehwa naShe achiti, ‘Johani akabhabhatidza nemvura, asi imi muchabhabhatidzwa noMweya Mutsvene.’

and I remembered the saying of the LORD, how He said, John indeed immersed in water, but you will be immersed in the Holy Spirit;

17 Saka kana Mwari akavapa chipo chimwe chetecho chaakatipa isu, vakatenda muna Ishe Jesu Kristu, ko, ini ndaigova ani zvangu kuti ndipikisane naMwari?”

if then God gave to them the equal gift as also to us, having believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, I—how was I able to withstand God?”

18 Vakati vanzwa izvozvo, vakashayiwa zvimwe zvokureva uye vakarumbidza Mwari vachiti, “Saka zvino Mwari akapawo vedzimwe ndudzi kutendeuka kunotungamirira kuupenyu.”

And they, having heard these things, were silent, and were glorifying God, saying, “Then, indeed, God also gave conversion to life to the nations.”

19 Zvino vaya vakanga vaparadzirwa namatambudziko nokuda kwaSitefani vakafamba vakandosvika kuFonisia, Saipurasi neAndioki, vachitaura shoko kuvaJudha bedzi.

Those, indeed, therefore, having been scattered abroad, from the tribulation that came after Stephen, went through to Phoenicia, and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to none except to Jews only;

20 Kunyange zvakadaro, vamwe varume vaibva kuSaipurasi nokuKurini, vakaenda kuAndioki vakatanga kutaura kuvaGirikiwo, vachivataurira mashoko akanaka ezvaIshe.

and there were certain of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who having entered into Antioch, were speaking to the Hellenists, proclaiming good news—the Lord Jesus,

21 Ruoko rwaShe rwakanga rwuri pamusoro pavo, uye vanhu vazhinji vakatenda vakatendeukira kuna She.

and the hand of the LORD was with them, a great number also, having believed, turned to the LORD.

22 Mukurumbira wazvo wakasvika munzeve dzekereke yapaJerusarema, ndokubva vatuma Bhanabhasi kuAndioki.

And the account was heard in the ears of the assembly that [is] in Jerusalem concerning them, and they sent forth Barnabas to go through to Antioch,

23 Akati asvika, akaona umboo hwenyasha dzaMwari, uye akafara, akavakurudzira vose kuti varambe vakatendeka kuna She nemwoyo yavo yose.

who, having come, and having seen the grace of God, was glad, and was exhorting all with purpose of heart to cleave to the LORD,

24 Iye akanga ari munhu akanaka, azere noMweya Mutsvene nokutenda, uye vanhu vazhinji vakauya kuna She.

because he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit, and of faith, and a great multitude was added to the LORD.

25 Ipapo Bhanabhasi akaenda kuTasasi kundotsvaka Sauro,

And Barnabas went forth to Tarsus, to seek for Saul,

26 uye akati amuwana, akauya naye kuAndioki. Saka gore rose rakapera Bhanabhasi naSauro vachisangana nekereke uye vakadzidzisa vanhu vazhinji kwazvo. Vadzidzi vakanzi vaKristu kwokutanga paAndioki.

and having found him, he brought him to Antioch, and it came to pass that they assembled together a whole year in the assembly, and taught a great multitude, and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.

27 Panguva iyoyo vamwe vaprofita vakaburuka vachibva kuJerusarema vachienda kuAndioki.

And in those days there came from Jerusalem prophets to Antioch,

28 Mumwe wavo, ainzi Agabhusi, akasimuka akaprofita noMweya Mutsvene kuti nzara huru yaizopararira munyika yose yavaRoma. (Izvi zvakaitika munguva yokutonga kwaKiraudhio).

and one of them, by name Agabus, having stood up, signified through the Spirit a great scarcity is about to be throughout all the world—which also came to pass in the time of Claudius Caesar—

29 Vadzidzi vakazvipira, mumwe nomumwe napaaigona napo, kuti ape rubatsiro kuhama dzaigara muJudhea.

and the disciples, according as anyone was prospering, determined each of them to send for ministry to the brothers dwelling in Judea,

30 Vakaita izvi, vakatumira chipo chavo naBhanabhasi naSauro kuvakuru.

which also they did, having sent to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
