Mabasa 15
1 Vamwe varume vakauya vachibva kuJudhea vakaenda kuAndioki, uye vakanga vachidzidzisa hama vachiti: “Kunze kwokunge madzingiswa, maererano netsika yakadzidziswa naMozisi, hamungaponeswi.”
But men from Jihud came down and taught the brethren, If you be not circumcised after the custom of the law, you cannot be saved.
2 Izvi zvakasvitsa Pauro naBhanabhasi pakupesana navo zvikuru uye nokukakavadzana navo. Saka Pauro naBhanabhasi vakasarudzwa kuti vaende kuJerusarema pamwe chete navamwe vatendi, kuti vandoona vapostori navakuru pamusoro peshoko iri.
And there were great agitation and disputation for Paulos and Bar Naba with them; and it was that Paulos and Bar Naba, and others with them, went up to the apostles and presbyters who were in Urishlem on account of this question.
3 Kereke yakavatuma parwendo rwavo, uye pavakafamba vachipinda nomuFonisia nomuSamaria, vakarondedzera kuti veDzimwe Ndudzi vainge vachitendeuka sei. Shoko iri rakafadza hama dzose zvikuru.
And conducting, the church dismissed them; and they went through all Punika, and also among the Shomroyee, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles; and they caused great joy unto all the brethren.
4 Vakati vasvika kuJerusarema, vakagamuchirwa nekereke navapostori uye navakuru, vakarondedzera kwavari zvinhu zvose zvakanga zvaitwa naMwari kubudikidza navo.
AND when they came to Urishlem, they were received by the church, and by the apostles, and by the presbyters. And they recounted to them how much Aloha had done with them;
5 Ipapo vamwe vatendi vakanga vari vebato ravaFarisi vakasimuka vakati, “VeDzimwe Ndudzi ava vanofanira kudzingiswa uye vanosungirwa kuti vateerere murayiro waMozisi.”
but (that) certain had arisen who had believed from the doctrine of the Pharishee, and said, It behoved you to circumcise them, and require them to keep the law of Musha.
6 Vapostori navakuru vakasangana kuti vaongorore nyaya iyi.
But the apostles and presbyters assembled to consider this doctrine.
7 Shure kwehurukuro huru, Petro akasimuka akati, “Hama dzangu, munoziva imi kuti nguva dzakare Mwari akandisarudza pakati penyu kuti veDzimwe Ndudzi vanzwe shoko revhangeri rinobva pamiromo yangu vagotenda.
And when there had been much investigation, Shemun arose, and said to them, Men, brethren, you know that from the first days from my mouth did Aloha choose that the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe.
8 Mwari, iye anoziva mwoyo yavanhu akaratidza kuti anovagamuchira nokuvapa Mweya Mutsvene, sezvaakangoitawo kwatiri.
And Aloha, who knoweth what is in the hearts, testified of them, and gave them the Spirit of Holiness, as to us.
9 Haana kuisa mutsauko pakati pedu navo, nokuti akanatsa mwoyo yavo nokutenda.
And nothing distinguished between us and them, because he had purified by faith their hearts.
10 Naizvozvo zvino, munodireiko kuedza Mwari nokuisa pamitsipa yavadzidzi joko risina kugona kutakurwa nesu kana namadzibaba edu?
And now why tempt you Aloha, that you would lay a yoke upon the necks of the disciples, which nor our fathers nor we could bear?
11 Kwete! Isu tinotenda kuti takaponeswa kubudikidza nenyasha dzaShe wedu Jesu sezvavakangoitwawo.”
But by the grace of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, we believe that we shall be saved, as they.
12 Sangano rose rakanyarara pavakanga vakateerera kuna Bhanabhasi naPauro vachirondedzera pamusoro pezviratidzo nezvishamiso zvakanga zvaitwa naMwari pakati peveDzimwe Ndudzi kubudikidza navo.
And all the assembly were silent. And they listened to Paulos and Bar Naba, who related how Aloha had done by their hands signs and mighty works among the Gentiles.
13 Vakati vapedza, Jakobho akapindura achiti, “Hama dzangu, nditeererei.
AND after they were silent, Jakub arose, and said, Men, brethren, hear me:
14 Simoni arondedzera kwatiri kuti pakutanga Mwari akaratidza nyasha dzake sei paakazvitorera vanhu vake kubva kune veDzimwe Ndudzi.
Shemun hath related to you how Aloha hath begun to elect from the Gentiles a people to his name.
15 Mashoko avaprofita anotenderana naizvozvi, sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi:
And with this accord the words of the prophets; as when it is written,
16 “‘Shure kwaizvozvo ndichadzoka ndigozovakazve tende yaDhavhidhi yakawa. Ndichavakazve matongo ayo, uye ndichaivandudzazve,
After these I will return, And raise the dwelling of David which hath fallen; And I will build that which hath fallen from it, And will raise it up:
17 kuti vakasara vavanhu vatsvake Ishe, uye neveDzimwe Ndudzi vose vanodanwa nezita rangu, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe, anoita zvinhu izvi,’
That the residue of men may seek the Lord, And all the Gentiles, on whom my name is called,
Saith the Lord, who doeth all these. Known from eternity are the works of Aloha. (aiōn g165)
19 “Naizvozvo, kufunga kwangu ini ndinoti hatifaniri kuomesera veDzimwe Ndudzi ava vari kutendeukira kuna Mwari.
On this account I say, that we should not molest those who from the Gentiles have been converted unto Aloha;
20 Asi ngativanyorerei tsamba tichivataurira kuti varege kudya zvakasvibiswa nezvifananidzo, vabve paupombwe, nokudya nyama yemhuka dzakadzipwa, uye neropa.
but that we send to them, that they shall separate from the uncleanness of (idol) sacrifice, and from fornication, and from the strangled, and from blood.
21 Nokuti kubva kare Mozisi akanga achiparidzwa muguta rimwe nerimwe uye anoverengwa musinagoge paSabata rimwe nerimwe.”
For Musha from former generations in all cities hath had preachers in the synagogues who on all shabaths read him.
22 Ipapo vapostori navakuru, nekereke yose, vakafunga kusarudza vamwe varume pakati pavo kuti vagovatuma kuAndioki pamwe chete naPauro naBhanabhasi. Vakasarudza Judhasi (ainzi Bhanabhasi) naSirasi, varume vaviri ava vakanga vari vatungamiri pakati pehama.
Then the apostles and presbyters, with all the church, elected men from them, and sent to Antiokia with Paulos and Bar Naba Jihuda, who was called Bar Shaba, and Shilo, men who were chief among the brethren.
23 Vakatumira tsamba yaiti: Vapostori navakuru, idzo hama dzenyu, kuvatendi nokune veDzimwe Ndudzi vari muAndioki, Siria nomuSirisia: Kwaziwai.
AND they wrote an epistle by their hands, thus: The apostles and presbyters and brethren, to those who are in Antiokia and in Syria and in Cilicia, the brethren who are of the Gentiles; peace.
24 Takanzwa kuti vamwe vakabva kwatiri vasina mvumo yedu vakakanganisa pfungwa dzenyu nezvavakataura.
It hath been heard by us, that men from us have gone forth and disturbed you with words, and have subverted your souls by saying, that you should be circumcised and observe the law, whom we have not commanded.
25 Saka tose takatenderana kuti tisarudze varume pakati pedu tigovatuma kwamuri pamwe chete neshamwari dzedu dzinodikanwa ivo Bhanabhasi naPauro,
On account of this we have deliberated, all being assembled, and have chosen men and sent them to you, with Paulos and Bar Naba, our beloved;
26 varume vakaisa upenyu hwavo panjodzi nokuda kwezita raIshe wedu Jesu Kristu.
men who have delivered their lives for the sake of the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.
27 Naizvozvo tiri kutumira Judhasi naSirasi kuti vagotsigira namashoko omuromo wavo pane zvatanyora.
And we have sent with them Jihuda and Shilo, that by word they may tell you the same things.
28 Zvinenge zvakanaka kuMweya Mutsvene nesu kuti tirege kukuremedzai nomutoro upi zvawo unopfuura zvinodikanwa izvi:
For it hath been the will of the Spirit of Holiness, and also of us, not to lay upon you greater burden beyond these things which are constraining;
29 Munofanira kurega zvokudya zvakabayirwa kuzvifananidzo, neropa, nenyama yemhuka dzakadzipwa uye noupombwe. Muchaita zvakanaka kuti murege izvi. Chisarai.
that you abstain from that which hath been sacrificed (to idols), and from blood, and from that which is strangled, and from fornication; and while you keep yourselves from these, you will be well. Be confirmed in our Lord.
30 Varume ava vakaenda ndokubva vaburuka vakaenda kuAndioki, kwavakandounganidza kereke pamwe chete ndokubva vavapa tsamba.
Now they who were sent came to Antiokia, and they assembled all the people and gave the epistle.
31 Vanhu vakaiverenga vakafara kwazvo nokuda kweshoko rayo rokukurudzira.
And when they had read, they rejoiced and were comforted.
32 Judhasi naSirasi avo vakanga vari vaprofita, vakataura zvakawanda zvokukurudzira nokusimbisa hama.
And by the word the brethren were the more strengthened, and Jihuda and Shilo established them because they were prophets also.
33 Shure kwokunge vambogara kwechinguva ikoko, vakaperekedzwa nehama namaropafadzo orugare kuti vachidzokera havo kuna avo vakanga vavatuma.
And when they had been there a time, the brethren dismissed them with peace unto the apostles.
34 Kunyange zvakadaro, Sirasi akasarudza kusarapo.
35 Asi Pauro naBhanabhasi vakasara muAndioki, uko ivo navamwe vazhinji vakadzidzisa uye vakaparidza shoko raShe.
BUT Paulos and Bar Naba remained in Antiokia, and taught and preached, with many others, the word of Aloha.
36 Mushure mechinguva Pauro akati kuna Bhanabhasi, “Ngatimbodzokera timbondoshanyira hama kuna mamwe maguta atakaparidza shoko raShe tinoona kuti vakadii zvavo.”
And after (certain) days Paulos said to Bar Naba, Let us return and visit the brethren in every city in which we have preached the word of Aloha, and see what they do.
37 Bhanabhasi akanga achida kutora Johani, ainziwo Mako, kuti vaende pamwe chete naye,
But Bar Naba willed to take Juhanon, he who is surnamed Markos.
38 asi Pauro haana kuona zvakanaka kuti vaende naye, nokuti akanga ambovasiya paPamufiria uye haana kuramba ainavo pabasa.
But Paulos willed not to take him with them, because he had forsaken them when they were in Pamphylia, and had not come with them.
39 Vakava nokupesana kukuru zvokuti vakaparadzana. Bhanabhasi akatora Mako akakwira chikepe vakaenda kuSaipurasi,
On account of this contention they separated one from the other; and Bar Naba took Markos, and they went by sea and came to Cypros.
40 asi Pauro akasarudza Sirasi akaenda akakumikidzwa kunyasha dzaShe nehama.
But Paulos chose for him Shilo, and went forth commended by the brethren to the grace of Aloha.
41 Akapinda nomuSiria nokuSirisia, achisimbisa kereke.
And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches. And he came to Derbe the city, and to Lystra.
