Nu siku bhatuma uPaulo nu Sila hu Beroya. Nabhafiha hula bhahinjila mwisinagogi lya Bhayahudi.
11 Zvino vaBheria vakanga vane tsika dzakanaka kupfuura vaTesaronika, nokuti vakagamuchira shoko nemwoyo inodisisa uye vachinzvera Magwaro zuva rimwe nerimwe kuti vaone kana zvairehwa naPauro zvaiva izvo.
Abhantu bhaala bhaali wenjele bhatejelezyaga zyabhayanga, a Paulo nu Sila, nazichunguzye aje zyazisimbilwe zyezyo.
12 VaJudha vazhinji vakatenda, sezvakaitwawo navakadzi vaikudzwa vechiGiriki navarume vazhinji vechiGiriki.
Abhinja bhahitishe na bhashi abheshi Giriki bhabhali nulusuliho nalume bhahinji.
13 VaJudha vokuTesaronika vakati vanzwa kuti Pauro akanga achiparidza shoko raMwari paBheria, vakaendazve ikoko, vakakurudzira uye vakakuchidzira bope pakati pavanhu vazhinji.
Ayahudi bha hu Thesalonike bhahumvwizye huje aPaulo nu Sila bhali uwho bhazumbilila bhabhafuatile nalete efujo hwabhantu.
14 Ipapo hama dzakaendesa Pauro kugungwa, asi Sirasi naTimoti vakasara paBheria.
U Paulo bhasogozya nanali hwidala lye idimi igosi, lelo u Barnaba nu Timotheo bhasagala pala.
15 Varume vakaperekedza Pauro, vakasvika naye paAtene vachibva vadzokera vaine shoko rokuti Sirasi naTimoti vamutevere nokukurumidza.
Aholo bhala bhatwalile uPaulo hu Athene, u Paulo wabhalajizya huje uSila nu Timotheo bhenze nanali.
16 Pauro achakavamirira paAtene, akatambudzika zvikuru achiona kuti guta rakanga rizere nezvifananidzo.
U Paulo avitilwe tee mumwoyo gwakwe shalolile evifwa vinji munsi ela.
17 Saka akataurirana navaJudha navaGiriki vaitya Mwari musinagoge, uyewo napamusika zuva rimwe nerimwe naavo vainge varipo.
U Paulo adalisanyaga nabho ayahudi shila lisiku mwisinagogi na husokoni.
18 Boka ravakachenjera ravaEpikuro navaStoiki rakaita nharo naye. Vamwe vavo vakabvunza vakati, “Ko, uyu mutauri wezvisina maturo ari kuedza kuti kudii?” Vamwe vakati, “Anenge ari kudzidzisa nezvavamwari vokumwe.” Vakareva izvi nokuti Pauro akanga achiparidza mashoko akanaka ezvaJesu uye nezvokumuka kwavakafa.
Lelo Abhefalsafa abha Waepikureo na Waestoiko bhabhalila na bhanje bhabhinji. Bhaga unu umuntu ayanga zyenu uduvya bhamo bhaga, abhoneha alumbilila ezya Ngulubhi ujeni,” alumbilila ezya Yesu nu luzyuho.
19 Ipapo vakamutora vakaenda naye kumusangano weAreopagasi, vakati kwaari, “Tinoda kuziva kuti dzidziso itsva iyi yauri kudzidzisa ndeyei?
Bhamwega uPaulo bhaleta hwa Areopago, bhaga, “Tibhajiye azimanye emanyizyo zyaho ezyo empya zyumanyizya?
20 Uri kuunza pfungwa itsva kunzeve dzedu, uye tinoda kuziva kuti dzinorevei.”
Uletile amambo amapya mumakutu getu. Tihwanzaje timanye nate zili neshi wili?”
21 (VaAtene vose navatorwa vaigara ipapo vaipedza nguva yavo vasina chimwe chavanoita kunze kwokungotaura nokuteerera pfungwa itsva).
(Abhantu bha hu Athene bhasungwa atejelezye enongwa empya.)
22 Ipapo Pauro akasimuka mumusangano weAreopagasi akati, “Varume veAtene! Ndinoona kuti panzira dzose muri vanhu vechitendero zvikuru.
U Paulo wimilila hwa bantu bha Aeropago na huje amwe mubhantu mwahu Athene, muli bhe dini zye shila namna,
23 Nokuti ndakati ndichifamba-famba uye ndikanyatsotarisisa zvinhu zvamunonamata, ndakaonawo aritari yakanyorwa kunzi: KUNA MWARI ASINGAZIVIKANWI. Zvino chamunonamata sechinhu chisingazivikanwi ndicho chandinokuparidzirai.
Nanashilaga uhwo humadhebu genyu endolile musimbile “HWA NGULUBHI YASIGA”. Eshi ane embaletela enongwa zyakwe uyo yamupuuta nahumanyee.
24 “Mwari akasika nyika nezvinhu zvose zviri mairi ndiye Ishe wedenga napasi uye haagari mutemberi dzakavakwa namaoko.
Ungulubhi yabhuumbile ensi ne mwanya ne vintu vyonti siga akhala munyumba ezyapuutile zyazizengwilwe na makhono ga bhantu.
25 Iye haashumirwi namaoko avanhu, sokunge anoshayiwa chinhu, nokuti iye amene anopa vanhu vose upenyu nokufema, nezvimwewo zvinhu.
Nantele siga abhombelwa namakhono umwene yatipela uwomi nevyenje vyonti.
26 Kubva pamunhu mumwe chete akaita ndudzi dzose dzavanhu, kuti vagare panyika yose; uye akavatarira nguva nenzvimbo dzavo chaidzo dzavangagara.
Ashilile hwa muntu umo abhabhisaiye abhantu outaratibu abheshele usiku na pasanya, eshisuku ne shisanya abhabhishiye ne mpaho mwamukhala.
27 Mwari akaita izvi kuitira kuti vanhu vagomutsvaka kuti zvimwe vangamuwana, kunyange zvake asiri kure nomumwe nomumwe wedu.
Eshi, bhahwanziwa huje bhamwanze Ungulubhi, nahumwaje umwene sigahutali nate.
28 ‘Nokuti maari ndimo matinorarama nomatinofamba, uye ndimo matigere.’ Sezvakarehwa navamwe vadetembi vokwenyu vachiti, ‘Tiri chibereko chake.’
Hwa mwene tijenda, tilya nabhe nu womi wetu, neshi shayanjile uteeli umo aje ate tili bhapapwe bhakwe.'
29 “Naizvozvo sezvo tiri chibereko chaMwari, hatifaniri kufunga kuti umwari hwakaita segoridhe kana sirivha kana ibwe, chifananidzo chakavezwa noumhizha hwomunhu.
Eshi, ate nkashele tilibhapapwe nu Ngulubhi setihwanziwa hulinganye Ngulubhi, nedhahabu, ne shaba, au nevifwani vyabhapunza vyavilingine wa bhantu.
30 Mwari akarega hake kurangarira nguva dzakare dzokusaziva kwakadai, asi zvino anorayira vanhu vose kwose kwose kuti vatendeuke.
Emande abhanga aje siga azilola, eshi alajizya hwa bhantu bhonti huje bhalambe.
31 Nokuti akatara zuva raachatonga nyika nokururamisira nomurume waakagadza. Akaratidza izvi kuvanhu vose nokumumutsa kubva kuvakafa.”
Eshi umwene abhishile isiku lyaibhalonga abhantu bhonti bila hubhonele umuntu Ungulubhi afumizye uYesu huje abhantu bhamwitishe uyazyusizye afume hwa bhafwe.
32 Vakati vanzwa nezvokumuka kwavakafa, vamwe vakaseka, asi vamwe vakati, “Tinoda kuzokunzwazve pamusoro peshoko iri.”
Abhantu bhahu Athene nabhuumvwa huje abhafwe bhazyuha, bhamo bhazihaki u Paulo bhagatitejelezye hani zyuyanga ezyo”
33 Nokudaro, Pauro akabva paungano iyi.
Pamande uPaulo wabhaleha.
34 Varume vashoma vakava vateveri vaPauro uye vakatenda. Pakati pavo paiva naDhionisiasi, nhengo yeAreopagasi nomukadzi ainzi Dhamarisi, uye navamwewo.
Lelo bhamo bhahitiha, bhahamwitiha uYesu ahali u Dionisio Mwareopago, nushi itawa yu Damari na bha mwabho.
