Mabasa 11
1 Vapostori nehama dzomuJudhea yose vakanzwa kuti vedzimwe ndudzi vakanga vagamuchirawo shoko raMwari.
And the apostles and brethren who were in Jihud heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of Aloha.
2 Saka Petro akati aenda kuJerusarema, vatendi vokudzingiswa vakamutsoropodza
AND when Shemun had gone up to Urishlem, they who were of the circumcision contended with him,
3 vachiti, “Iwe wakapinda mumba yavanhu vasina kudzingiswa ukandodya navo.”
saying, that unto men uncircumcised he had entered, and had eaten with them.
4 Petro akatanga kurondedzera zvinhu zvose kwavari zvichitevedzana sokuitika kwazvakanga zvaita achiti,
And Shemun put forth in order to say to them,
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.
That while praying in Joppa I saw a vision; a certain vessel descended which was like to a sheet, and bound at the four corners: and it came down from heaven and came unto me.
6 Ndakatarira mukati macho ndikaona mhuka dzenyika dzina makumbo mana, zvikara zvesango, nezvinokambaira uye neshiri dzedenga.
And gazing at it I beheld in it animals of four feet, and reptiles of the earth, and fowls of the heaven.
7 “Ipapo ndakanzwa inzwi richiti kwandiri, ‘Simuka, Petro. Baya udye.’
And I heard a voice which said to me, Shemun, arise, slay, and eat.
8 “Ndakapindura ndikati, ‘Zvirokwazvo kwete, Ishe! Hakuna chinhu chisina kunaka kana chine tsvina chakatombopinda mumuromo mangu.’
And I said, Not so, my Lord; for nothing hath entered my mouth that is unclean or profane.
9 “Inzwi rakataurazve kechipiri richibva kudenga richiti, ‘Usati chinhu chipi zvacho chakanatswa naMwari hachina kunaka.’
And again the voice said to me from heaven, What Aloha hath cleansed make not thou to be polluted.
10 Izvi zvakaitika katatu, uye ipapo jira nezvose zvikadzoserwazve kudenga.
This was done three times, and every thing was taken up into heaven.
11 “Pakarepo varume vatatu vakanga vatumwa kwandiri vachibva kuKesaria vakamira pamba pandaigara.
And at that moment three men, who had been sent to me by Cornelius from Cesarea, came and stood at the gate of the court where I was sojourning.
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, Go with them without doubting. And there went also with me these six brethren, 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.
And he related to us how he had seen in his house an angel, who stood and said to him, Send to the city Joppa, and bring Shemun who is called Kipha,
14 Iye achakuvigirai shoko richaponesa iwe neveimba yako vose.’
and he will speak with thee words by which thou wilt be saved, thou and all thy house.
15 “Pandakatanga kutaura, Mweya Mutsvene akauya pamusoro pavo samauyiro aakaita kwatiri pakutanga.
And when I proceeded to speak there, the Spirit of Holiness overshadowed them, as upon us from the beginning.
16 Ipapo ndakarangarira zvakanga zvarehwa naShe achiti, ‘Johani akabhabhatidza nemvura, asi imi muchabhabhatidzwa noMweya Mutsvene.’
And I remembered the word of our Lord, who said, Juhanon baptized you with waters, but you shall be baptized with the Spirit of Holiness.
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 Aloha equally hath given the gift to the Gentiles who have believed in our Lord Jeshu Meshiha as we, who was I, that I should be sufficient to prohibit Aloha?
18 Vakati vanzwa izvozvo, vakashayiwa zvimwe zvokureva uye vakarumbidza Mwari vachiti, “Saka zvino Mwari akapawo vedzimwe ndudzi kutendeuka kunotungamirira kuupenyu.”
And when these words they had heard they were silent, and they praised Aloha, and said, Now also unto the Gentiles Aloha hath given repentance unto life.
19 Zvino vaya vakanga vaparadzirwa namatambudziko nokuda kwaSitefani vakafamba vakandosvika kuFonisia, Saipurasi neAndioki, vachitaura shoko kuvaJudha bedzi.
BUT they who had been dispersed by the tribulation that was concerning Estephanos went unto Punika, also to the region of Kypros and to Antiokia, but with any one not speaking the word unless only with the Jihudoyee.
20 Kunyange zvakadaro, vamwe varume vaibva kuSaipurasi nokuKurini, vakaenda kuAndioki vakatanga kutaura kuvaGirikiwo, vachivataurira mashoko akanaka ezvaIshe.
But of them were men of Kypros and of Kyrine; these entered into Antiokia, and discoursed with the Javnoyee, and evangelized concerning our Lord Jeshu.
21 Ruoko rwaShe rwakanga rwuri pamusoro pavo, uye vanhu vazhinji vakatenda vakatendeukira kuna She.
And the hand of the Lord was with them, and many believed, and were converted unto the Lord.
22 Mukurumbira wazvo wakasvika munzeve dzekereke yapaJerusarema, ndokubva vatuma Bhanabhasi kuAndioki.
And this was heard by the ears of the sons of the church which was at Urishlem, and they sent Bar Naba to Antiokia.
23 Akati asvika, akaona umboo hwenyasha dzaMwari, uye akafara, akavakurudzira vose kuti varambe vakatendeka kuna She nemwoyo yavo yose.
And when he came thither, and beheld the grace of Aloha, he rejoiced, and entreated them with all their heart to cleave to our 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 Spirit of Holiness and of faith, and there was added much people to our Lord.
25 Ipapo Bhanabhasi akaenda kuTasasi kundotsvaka Sauro,
And he went forth to Tarsos to seek for Shaol;
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 when he had found him he brought him with him to Antiokia. And a whole year together they assembled in the church, and taught much people: from thence first in Antiokia the disciples were called Christianee.
27 Panguva iyoyo vamwe vaprofita vakaburuka vachibva kuJerusarema vachienda kuAndioki.
And in those days there came from Urishlem thither prophets.
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 arose whose name was Agabos: and he made known to them by the Spirit that a great famine would be in all the land. And that famine was in the days of Claudios Caesar.
29 Vadzidzi vakazvipira, mumwe nomumwe napaaigona napo, kuti ape rubatsiro kuhama dzaigara muJudhea.
Therefore the disciples, according as each of them had, determined to send for the service of those brethren who dwelt in Jihud;
30 Vakaita izvi, vakatumira chipo chavo naBhanabhasi naSauro kuvakuru.
and they sent by the hand of Bar Naba and Shaol to the presbyters who were there.
