Mabasa 11
1 Vapostori nehama dzomuJudhea yose vakanzwa kuti vedzimwe ndudzi vakanga vagamuchirawo shoko raMwari.
Abaphostoli labazalwane ababeseJudiya basebesizwa ukuthi abezizwe labo balemukele ilizwi likaNkulunkulu.
2 Saka Petro akati aenda kuJerusarema, vatendi vokudzingiswa vakamutsoropodza
Kwathi uPetro esenyukele eJerusalema, abokusoka baphikisana laye,
3 vachiti, “Iwe wakapinda mumba yavanhu vasina kudzingiswa ukandodya navo.”
besithi: Ungene emadodeni angasokanga, wadla lawo.
4 Petro akatanga kurondedzera zvinhu zvose kwavari zvichitevedzana sokuitika kwazvakanga zvaita achiti,
Kodwa uPetro eqala wabalandisela ngokulandelana esithi:
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.
Mina ngangisemzini weJopha ngikhuleka, ngasengibona ekuhlehlisweni kwengqondo umbono, kwehla isitsha esithile, sinjengelembu elikhulu sisehliswa ngamasondo amane sivela ezulwini, sasesifika kimi;
6 Ndakatarira mukati macho ndikaona mhuka dzenyika dzina makumbo mana, zvikara zvesango, nezvinokambaira uye neshiri dzedenga.
okwathi sengilikhangelisisile ngaqaphelisa, ngasengibona inyamazana ezilenyawo ezine zomhlaba lezeganga lezihuquzelayo lenyoni zezulu.
7 “Ipapo ndakanzwa inzwi richiti kwandiri, ‘Simuka, Petro. Baya udye.’
Ngasengisizwa ilizwi lisithi kimi: Sukuma, Petro, hlaba udle.
8 “Ndakapindura ndikati, ‘Zvirokwazvo kwete, Ishe! Hakuna chinhu chisina kunaka kana chine tsvina chakatombopinda mumuromo mangu.’
Kodwa ngathi: Hatshi bo Nkosi; ngoba loba yini engahlambulukanga kumbe engcolileyo kayizake ingene emlonyeni wami.
9 “Inzwi rakataurazve kechipiri richibva kudenga richiti, ‘Usati chinhu chipi zvacho chakanatswa naMwari hachina kunaka.’
Kodwa ilizwi langiphendula ngokwesibili livela ezulwini lathi: Izinto uNkulunkulu azihlambululileyo, wena ungatsho ukuthi kazihlambulukanga.
10 Izvi zvakaitika katatu, uye ipapo jira nezvose zvikadzoserwazve kudenga.
Lokhu-ke kwenzeka kathathu, njalo konke kwabuye kwadonselwa phezulu ezulwini.
11 “Pakarepo varume vatatu vakanga vatumwa kwandiri vachibva kuKesaria vakamira pamba pandaigara.
Njalo khangela, ngasona lesosikhathi amadoda amathathu ema phambi kwendlu engangikuyo, ethunyiwe kimi evela eKesariya.
12 Mweya Mutsvene akandiudza kuti ndirege kunonoka kuenda navo. Hama nhanhatu idzi dzakaendawo neni, uye takasvikopinda mumba momurume uya.
UMoya wasesithi kimi ngihambe lawo, ngingathandabuzi; lalababazalwane abayisithupha labo bahamba lami, sasesingena endlini yendoda;
13 Akatirondedzera maonero aakanga aita mutumwa mumba make, uyo akati, ‘Tuma vanhu kuJopa kuna Simoni anonzi Petro.
yasisibikela ukuthi yayibone njani ingilosi imi endlini yayo, isithi kuyo: Thumela amadoda eJopha, ubize uSimoni, othiwa nguPetro,
14 Iye achakuvigirai shoko richaponesa iwe neveimba yako vose.’
ozakutshela amazwi, ozasindiswa ngawo wena lendlu yakho yonke.
15 “Pandakatanga kutaura, Mweya Mutsvene akauya pamusoro pavo samauyiro aakaita kwatiri pakutanga.
Kwathi ngisaqala ukukhuluma, uMoya oyiNgcwele wehlela phezu kwabo, lanjengakithi ekuqaleni.
16 Ipapo ndakarangarira zvakanga zvarehwa naShe achiti, ‘Johani akabhabhatidza nemvura, asi imi muchabhabhatidzwa noMweya Mutsvene.’
Ngakhumbula ilizwi leNkosi, ukuthi yakhuluma njani isithi: Isibili uJohane wabhabhathiza ngamanzi, kodwa lina lizabhabhathizwa ngoMoya oNgcwele.
17 Saka kana Mwari akavapa chipo chimwe chetecho chaakatipa isu, vakatenda muna Ishe Jesu Kristu, ko, ini ndaigova ani zvangu kuti ndipikisane naMwari?”
Ngakho nxa uNkulunkulu ebanikile isipho esifananayo lanjengakithi, esakholwa eNkosini uJesu Kristu, mina bengingubani ebengingavimbela uNkulunkulu?
18 Vakati vanzwa izvozvo, vakashayiwa zvimwe zvokureva uye vakarumbidza Mwari vachiti, “Saka zvino Mwari akapawo vedzimwe ndudzi kutendeuka kunotungamirira kuupenyu.”
Njalo bathi sebezizwile lezizinto bathula, bamdumisa uNkulunkulu, besithi: Ngakho-ke uNkulunkulu unikile abezizwe labo ukuphendukela empilweni.
19 Zvino vaya vakanga vaparadzirwa namatambudziko nokuda kwaSitefani vakafamba vakandosvika kuFonisia, Saipurasi neAndioki, vachitaura shoko kuvaJudha bedzi.
Labo-ke abahlakazeka ngokuhlupheka okwenzeka mayelana loStefane badabula baze bafika eFenekiya leKuprosi leAntiyoki, bengalikhulumi ilizwi lakoyedwa ngaphandle kumaJuda kuphela.
20 Kunyange zvakadaro, vamwe varume vaibva kuSaipurasi nokuKurini, vakaenda kuAndioki vakatanga kutaura kuvaGirikiwo, vachivataurira mashoko akanaka ezvaIshe.
Kodwa kwakukhona abanye kubo, amadoda amaKuprosi lamaKurene, abathi sebefike eAntiyoki, bakhuluma lamaHelenisiti, betshumayela indaba ezinhle zeNkosi uJesu.
21 Ruoko rwaShe rwakanga rwuri pamusoro pavo, uye vanhu vazhinji vakatenda vakatendeukira kuna She.
Lesandla seNkosi sasilabo; njalo inani elikhulu lakholwa laphendukela eNkosini.
22 Mukurumbira wazvo wakasvika munzeve dzekereke yapaJerusarema, ndokubva vatuma Bhanabhasi kuAndioki.
Zasezizwakala indaba ngabo endlebeni zebandla elaliseJerusalema; basebethuma uBarnabasi ukuthi adabule kuze kube seAntiyoki;
23 Akati asvika, akaona umboo hwenyasha dzaMwari, uye akafara, akavakurudzira vose kuti varambe vakatendeka kuna She nemwoyo yavo yose.
kwathi esefikile esebona umusa kaNkulunkulu wathokoza, wasebakhuthaza bonke ukuthi babambelele eNkosini ngokuzimisela kwenhliziyo;
24 Iye akanga ari munhu akanaka, azere noMweya Mutsvene nokutenda, uye vanhu vazhinji vakauya kuna She.
ngoba wayeyindoda elungileyo egcwele uMoya oNgcwele lokholo; kwengezelelwa eNkosini ixuku elikhulu.
25 Ipapo Bhanabhasi akaenda kuTasasi kundotsvaka Sauro,
UBarnabasi wasesiya eTarsu ukuze adinge uSawuli,
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.
kwathi esemtholile wamletha eAntiyoki. Kwasekusithi umnyaka wonke behlangana ebandleni bafundisa ixuku elikhulu; njalo abafundi baqala ukubizwa ngokuthi ngamaKristu eAntiyoki.
27 Panguva iyoyo vamwe vaprofita vakaburuka vachibva kuJerusarema vachienda kuAndioki.
Kwathi ngalezonsuku kwafika eAntiyoki abaprofethi bevela eJerusalema.
28 Mumwe wavo, ainzi Agabhusi, akasimuka akaprofita noMweya Mutsvene kuti nzara huru yaizopararira munyika yose yavaRoma. (Izvi zvakaitika munguva yokutonga kwaKiraudhio).
Kwasekusukuma omunye wabo othiwa nguAgabusi, watshengisa ngoMoya ukuthi kuzakuba khona indlala enkulu emhlabeni wonke; eyaba khona futhi ngesikhathi sikaKlawudiyosi Kesari.
29 Vadzidzi vakazvipira, mumwe nomumwe napaaigona napo, kuti ape rubatsiro kuhama dzaigara muJudhea.
Labafundi bazimisela ukuthi ngulowo lalowo wabo athumele njengamandla alowo lalowo okokusiza abazalwane abahlala eJudiya;
30 Vakaita izvi, vakatumira chipo chavo naBhanabhasi naSauro kuvakuru.
abakwenzayo-ke, bakuthumela kubadala ngesandla sikaBarnabasi loSawuli.
