Mabasa 14
1 PaIkoniamu Pauro naBhanabhasi vakasvikopinda musinagoge ravaJudha sezvavaisiita nguva dzose. Imomo vakataura zvinobata mwoyo kwazvo zvokuti vaJudha vazhinji neveDzimwe Ndudzi vakatenda.
At Iconium, Paul and Barnabas went as usual into the Jewish synagogue, where they spoke so well that a great number of Jews and Greeks believed.
2 Asi vaJudha vakaramba kutenda vakamutsa mwoyo yeveDzimwe Ndudzi uye vakavakanganisa pfungwa dzavo kuti vavenge hama.
But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers.
3 Saka Pauro naBhanabhasi vakapedza nguva refu varipo, vachitaura zvaIshe vasingatyi, iye akasimbisa shoko renyasha dzake nokuvagonesa kuita zviratidzo nezvishamiso.
So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there, speaking boldly for the Lord, who affirmed the message of His grace by enabling them to perform signs and wonders.
4 Vanhu vomuguta vakapesana; vamwe vakatsigira vaJudha, vamwewo vakatsigira vapostori.
The people of the city were divided. Some sided with the Jews, and others with the apostles.
5 VeDzimwe Ndudzi navaJudha, pamwe chete navatungamiri vavo vakarangana kuvaitira zvakaipa nokuvataka namabwe.
But when the Gentiles and Jews, together with their rulers, set out to mistreat and stone them,
6 Asi vakazviziva vakabva vatizira kuRistira neDhebhe maguta avaRikonia nokudunhu rose rakanga rakapoteredza,
they found out about it and fled to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and to the surrounding region,
7 uko kwavakaramba vachiparidza vhangeri.
where they continued to preach the gospel.
8 MuRistira maigara mumwe murume akanga ari mhetamakumbo, akanga ari chirema kubva pakuberekwa kwake uye akanga asina kumbofamba.
In Lystra there sat a man crippled in his feet, who was lame from birth and had never walked.
9 Akateerera Pauro paakanga achitaura. Pauro akamutarisisa, akaona kuti akanga ano kutenda kuti angaporeswa
This man was listening to the words of Paul, who looked intently at him and saw that he had faith to be healed.
10 akadanidzira akati, “Simuka netsoka dzako!” Ipapo, murume akakwakuka akatanga kufamba.
In a loud voice Paul called out, “Stand up on your feet!” And the man jumped up and began to walk.
11 Vazhinji vakati vaona zvakanga zvaitwa naPauro, vakadanidzira norurimi rwechiRikonia vachiti, “Vamwari vaburuka kwatiri muchimiro chavanhu!”
When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices in the Lycaonian language: “The gods have come down to us in human form!”
12 Bhanabhasi vakamutumidza kuti Zeusi, uye Pauro vakamutumidza kuti Herimesi nokuti ndiye aiva mutauri mukuru.
Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes, because he was the chief speaker.
13 Muprista waZeusi aiva netemberi yake yakanga iri kunze kweguta, akauya nehando namaruva kumasuo eguta nokuti iye navanhu vazhinji vaida kupa zvibayiro kwavari.
The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought bulls and wreaths to the city gates, hoping to offer a sacrifice along with the crowds.
14 Asi vapostori Bhanabhasi naPauro vakati vazvinzwa, vakabvarura nguo dzavo vakamhanyira mukati moruzhinji, vakadanidzira vachiti,
But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul found out about this, they tore their clothes and rushed into the crowd, shouting,
15 “Varume, munoitireiko izvi? Isuwo tiri vanhu semi, vanhuwo zvavo semi. Tinokuparidzirai mashoko akanaka, tichikuudzai kuti mubve pazvinhu izvi zvisina maturo mudzokere kuna Mwari mupenyu, akaita denga nenyika negungwa nezvinhu zvose zviri mukati mazvo.
“Men, why are you doing this? We too are only men, human like you. We are bringing you good news that you should turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made heaven and earth and sea and everything in them.
16 Panguva dzakapfuura, akarega hake ndudzi dzose dzichifamba nenzira dzadzo.
In past generations, He let all nations go their own way.
17 Asi haana kusiya pasina zvingamupupurira: Akakuitirai tsitsi nokukupai mvura inobva kudenga nezvirimwa nenguva yazvo; akakupai zvokudya zvakawanda uye akazadza mwoyo yenyu nomufaro.”
Yet He has not left Himself without testimony to His goodness: He gives you rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.”
18 Kunyange namashoko iwaya, zvakanga zvakaoma chose kuti vadzivise vanhu vazhinji ava kuti varege kuvabayira.
Even with these words, Paul and Barnabas could hardly stop the crowds from sacrificing to them.
19 Ipapo vamwe vaJudha vaibva kuAndioki nokuIkoniamu vakauya vakasvikopindura mwoyo yavanhu vazhinji ava. Vakataka Pauro namabwe ndokumuzvuzvurudzira kunze kweguta, vachifunga kuti afa.
Then some Jews arrived from Antioch and Iconium and won over the crowds. They stoned Paul and dragged him outside the city, presuming he was dead.
20 Asi shure kwokunge vadzidzi vaungana vakamukomba, akamuka akadzokera muguta zvakare. Zuva rakatevera akaenda naBhanabhasi kuDhebhe.
But after the disciples had gathered around him, he got up and went back into the city. And the next day he left with Barnabas for Derbe.
21 Vakaparidza mashoko akanaka muguta iroro vakawana vadzidzi vazhinji kwazvo. Ipapo vakadzokera kuRistira, Ikoniamu nokuAndioki,
They preached the gospel to that city and made many disciples. Then they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,
22 vachisimbisa vadzidzi nokuvakurudzira kuti varambe vari pakutenda. Vakati, “Tinofanira kutambudzika kuti tipinde muumambo hwaMwari.”
strengthening the souls of the disciples and encouraging them to continue in the faith. “We must endure many hardships to enter the kingdom of God,” they said.
23 Pauro naBhanabhasi vakagadza vatungamiri mukereke imwe neimwe uye nokunyengetera nokutsanya, vakavakumikidza kuna She, uyo wavaivimba naye.
Paul and Barnabas appointed elders for them in each church, praying and fasting as they entrusted them to the Lord, in whom they had believed.
24 Shure kwokupinda kwavo nomuPisidhia, vakasvika muPamufiria,
After passing through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.
25 uye vakati vaparidza shoko muPega, vakadzika vakaenda kuAtaria.
And when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.
26 Kubva paAtaria vakakwira chikepe vakadzokera kuAndioki, kuya kwavakanga vakumikidzwa kunyasha dzaMwari pabasa ravakanga vapedza zvino.
From Attalia they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work they had just completed.
27 Vakati vasvika ikoko, vakaunganidza kereke pamwe chete vakavarondedzera zvose zvakanga zvaitwa naMwari kubudikidza navo uye kuti akanga avazarurira sei mukova wokutenda kune veDzimwe Ndudzi.
When they arrived, they gathered the church together and reported all that God had done through them, and how He had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.
28 Uye vakagara navadzidzi ipapo kwenguva refu.
And they spent a long time there with the disciples.
