Mabasa 11
1 Vapostori nehama dzomuJudhea yose vakanzwa kuti vedzimwe ndudzi vakanga vagamuchirawo shoko raMwari.
Now the emissaries and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the non-Jewish people had also received the word of God.
2 Saka Petro akati aenda kuJerusarema, vatendi vokudzingiswa vakamutsoropodza
When Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended 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,
But Peter began, and explained 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 in a trance I saw a vision: a certain container descending, like it was a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners. It came as far as me.
6 Ndakatarira mukati macho ndikaona mhuka dzenyika dzina makumbo mana, zvikara zvesango, nezvinokambaira uye neshiri dzedenga.
When I had looked intently at it, I considered, and saw the four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, crawling creatures, and birds of the sky.
7 “Ipapo ndakanzwa inzwi richiti kwandiri, ‘Simuka, Petro. Baya udye.’
I also heard a voice saying to me, 'Rise, Peter, kill and eat.'
8 “Ndakapindura ndikati, ‘Zvirokwazvo kwete, Ishe! Hakuna chinhu chisina kunaka kana chine tsvina chakatombopinda mumuromo mangu.’
But I said, 'Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.'
9 “Inzwi rakataurazve kechipiri richibva kudenga richiti, ‘Usati chinhu chipi zvacho chakanatswa naMwari hachina kunaka.’
But a voice answered the second time out of heaven, 'What God has cleansed, do not call unclean.'
10 Izvi zvakaitika katatu, uye ipapo jira nezvose zvikadzoserwazve kudenga.
This was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.
11 “Pakarepo varume vatatu vakanga vatumwa kwandiri vachibva kuKesaria vakamira pamba pandaigara.
And look, immediately three men stood before the house where we were, 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.
The Ruach told me to go with them, without discriminating. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house.
13 Akatirondedzera maonero aakanga aita mutumwa mumba make, uyo akati, ‘Tuma vanhu kuJopa kuna Simoni anonzi Petro.
He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, and saying to him, 'Send to Joppa, and get Shim'on, whose surname is Peter,
14 Iye achakuvigirai shoko richaponesa iwe neveimba yako vose.’
who will speak to you words by which you will be saved, you and all your house.'
15 “Pandakatanga kutaura, Mweya Mutsvene akauya pamusoro pavo samauyiro aakaita kwatiri pakutanga.
As I began to speak, the Ruach ha-Kodesh fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.
16 Ipapo ndakarangarira zvakanga zvarehwa naShe achiti, ‘Johani akabhabhatidza nemvura, asi imi muchabhabhatidzwa noMweya Mutsvene.’
I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, 'John indeed immersed in water, but you will be immersed in the Ruach ha-Kodesh.'
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 same gift as us, when we believed in the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, who was I, that I could withstand God?"
18 Vakati vanzwa izvozvo, vakashayiwa zvimwe zvokureva uye vakarumbidza Mwari vachiti, “Saka zvino Mwari akapawo vedzimwe ndudzi kutendeuka kunotungamirira kuupenyu.”
When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, "Then God has also granted to the non-Jews repentance to life."
19 Zvino vaya vakanga vaparadzirwa namatambudziko nokuda kwaSitefani vakafamba vakandosvika kuFonisia, Saipurasi neAndioki, vachitaura shoko kuvaJudha bedzi.
They therefore who were scattered abroad by the oppression that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to Jews only.
20 Kunyange zvakadaro, vamwe varume vaibva kuSaipurasi nokuKurini, vakaenda kuAndioki vakatanga kutaura kuvaGirikiwo, vachivataurira mashoko akanaka ezvaIshe.
But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Greeks, proclaiming the good news of the Lord Yeshua.
21 Ruoko rwaShe rwakanga rwuri pamusoro pavo, uye vanhu vazhinji vakatenda vakatendeukira kuna She.
The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.
22 Mukurumbira wazvo wakasvika munzeve dzekereke yapaJerusarema, ndokubva vatuma Bhanabhasi kuAndioki.
And the report concerning them was heard by the congregation in Jerusalem, so they sent Barnabas to Antioch,
23 Akati asvika, akaona umboo hwenyasha dzaMwari, uye akafara, akavakurudzira vose kuti varambe vakatendeka kuna She nemwoyo yavo yose.
who, when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad. He exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they should remain true to the Lord.
24 Iye akanga ari munhu akanaka, azere noMweya Mutsvene nokutenda, uye vanhu vazhinji vakauya kuna She.
For he was a good man, and full of the Ruach ha-Kodesh and of faith, and many people were added to the Lord.
25 Ipapo Bhanabhasi akaenda kuTasasi kundotsvaka Sauro,
Barnabas went out to Tarsus to look 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.
When he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. It happened, that for a whole year they were gathered together with the congregation, and taught many people. The talmidim were first called "Messianic" in Antioch.
27 Panguva iyoyo vamwe vaprofita vakaburuka vachibva kuJerusarema vachienda kuAndioki.
Now in these days, prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.
28 Mumwe wavo, ainzi Agabhusi, akasimuka akaprofita noMweya Mutsvene kuti nzara huru yaizopararira munyika yose yavaRoma. (Izvi zvakaitika munguva yokutonga kwaKiraudhio).
One of them named Agabus stood up, and indicated by the Ruach that there should be a great famine all over the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius.
29 Vadzidzi vakazvipira, mumwe nomumwe napaaigona napo, kuti ape rubatsiro kuhama dzaigara muJudhea.
As any of the talmidim had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;
30 Vakaita izvi, vakatumira chipo chavo naBhanabhasi naSauro kuvakuru.
which they also did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
