1 Aporosi paakanga achiri paKorinde, Pauro akafamba nomugwagwa wakanga uchipinda nomukati menyika akasvika paEfeso. Akawana vamwe vadzidzi ipapo
Nipele, yaliji che Apolo paŵaliji ku Kolinto, che Paolo ŵapite kuchilambo cha ikwesya ni ŵaiche ku Efeso. Kweleko ŵaasimene ŵakulijiganya ŵane ŵa Che Yesu,
2 akavabvunza akati, “Makagamuchira Mweya Mutsvene here pamakatenda?” Vakapindura vakati, “Kwete, hatina kutongonzwa kuti kune Mweya Mutsvene isu.”
ni ŵausisye, “Ana pamwakulupilile Che Yesu mwampochele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu?” Ni ŵanyawo ŵajanjile, “Ngwamba! Natamuno kupilikana kose nganitupilikane kuti apali Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.”
3 Saka Pauro akavabvunza akati, “Zvino makagamuchira rubhabhatidzo rupi?” Vakapindura vakati, “Rubhabhatidzo rwaJohani.”
Ni che Paolo ŵausisye, “Nambi mwabatiswe ubatiso chi?” Ni ŵanyawo ŵajanjile, “Ubatiso u che Yohana.”
4 Pauro akati, “Rubhabhatidzo rwaJohani rwaiva rubhabhatidzo rwokutendeuka. Akaudza vanhu kuti vatende kuna iye aizouya mumashure make, iye Jesu.”
Che Paolo ŵatite, “Ubatiso u che Yohana waliji wakulosya kuti ŵandu alesile sambi. Che Yohana ŵaasalile ŵandu ŵaakulupilile ŵatachiika panyuma pao, ŵelewo ali Che Yesu.”
5 Vakati vanzwa izvi, vakabhabhatidzwa muzita raIshe Jesu.
Paŵapilikene yeleyo ŵabatiswe kwa liina lya Ambuje Che Yesu.
6 Pauro akati aisa maoko ake pamusoro pavo, Mweya Mutsvene wakauya pamusoro pavo, uye vakataura nendimi vakaprofita.
Nipele, che Paolo ŵaŵisile makono gao pa ŵanyawo, ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵaatuluchile ni ŵatandite kuŵechetanga iŵecheto ineine, iyoyo ŵatandite kulalichila utenga wa Akunnungu.
7 Vakanga vari varume vanenge gumi navaviri vose.
Ŵandu wose wo ŵaliji mpela ŵandu likumi ni ŵaŵili.
8 Pauro akapinda musinagoge akataura asingatyi imomo kwemwedzi mitatu, achikakavadzana navo zvinyoronyoro pamusoro poumambo hwaMwari.
Che Paolo ŵajinjilaga mu nyuumba ja kupopelela jila kwa miesi jitatu ni ŵaachisyaga kuti akulupilile Umwenye wa Akunnungu.
9 Asi vamwe vavo vakaomesa mwoyo yavo; vakaramba kutenda uye vakatsoropodza Nzira iyo pamberi pavanhu. Saka Pauro akabva pavari. Akatora vadzidzi akaenda navo akandoita hurukuro navo zuva nezuva pachikoro chaTirano.
Nambo ŵandu ŵane ŵaliji ŵakukakatima mitima ni ŵakanile kukulupilila, ŵatandite kuŵechetanga yangalumbana nkati ŵandu ŵakulikuya Litala lya Ambuje pasikati ja ŵandu. Pelepo che Paolo ŵaalesile, ŵaajigele ŵakulijiganya ŵa Ambuje ni ŵaliji nkukunguluka nawo moŵa gose mu chuumba chakulijiganyila chi che Tulona.
10 Izvi zvakaramba zvichiitwa kwamakore maviri, zvokuti vaJudha vose navaGiriki vaigara munyika yeEzhia vakanzwa shoko raShe.
Yeleyo yatendekwe yaka iŵili mpaka ŵandu wose ŵaŵatamaga ku Asia ni Ŵayahudi pamo ni Ŵagiliki, ŵapilikene Liloŵe lya Ambuje.
11 Mwari akaita mabasa anoshamisa kubudikidza naPauro,
Akunnungu ŵapanganyisye yakusimonjeka yejinji kwa makono ga che Paolo.
12 zvokuti kunyange nehangachepfu namaapuroni akanga ari pamuviri wake zvakaendeswa kuvarwere, zvirwere zvavo zvikaporeswa uye mweya yakaipa ikabva pavari.
Ŵandu ŵajigalaga namose iguo ya mwana ni iwalo ine iŵaikwaiye che Paolo, ŵaijawisye kwa ŵakulwala ni ŵakulwala wo ŵalamiswe ilwele yao, ni aŵala ŵaŵakwete masoka gaakopweche.
13 Vamwe vaJudha vaifamba vachidzinga mweya yakaipa vakaedza kudana zita raJesu pamusoro paavo vakanga vakabatwa namadhimoni vachiti, “Muzita raJesu, anoparidzwa naPauro, ndinokurayira kuti ubude.”
Ŵayahudi ŵampepe ŵakugaŵinga masoka mwa ŵandu, ŵajesilejesile akuno ni akunokuno achilingaga kulikolanga liina lya Ambuje Che Yesu, kwa ŵele ŵaŵakwete masoka achitiji, “Ngunsalila kwa liina lya Ambuje Che Yesu jwakulalichilwa ni che Paolo, ntyoche.”
14 Vanakomana vanomwe vaSikevha muprista mukuru wavaJudha, vakanga vachiita izvozvo.
Ŵaŵatendaga yeleyo, ŵaliji ŵanache nsano ni ŵaŵili wa che Sikewa Jŵambopesi Jwankulu jwa Chiyahudi.
15 Rimwe zuva mweya wakaipa wakavapindura ukati, “Jesu ndinomuziva, uye ndinoziva nezvaPauro, asi imi ndimi vanaaniko?”
Nambo lisoka lila lyaajanjile ŵanyawo, “Che Yesu ngwamanyilila ni che Paolo nombejo ngummanyilila, nambo ŵanyamwe ndi ŵaani?”
16 Ipapo murume akanga ane mweya wakaipa akasvetukira pavari akavakurira vose. Akavarova zvokuti vakamhanya vachibuda mumba vasina kupfeka uye vachibuda ropa.
Nipele jwamasoka jo ŵasumbile ni kwagalagasya mpaka ŵanache ŵa che Sikewa wo ŵautwiche mu nyuumba jo ali matakope ni maŵanga gakwe.
17 Izvi zvakati zvazivikanwa navaJudha navaGiriki vaigara muEfeso, vose vakabatwa nokutya, uye zita raIshe Jesu rakakudzwa nokukudzwa kukuru.
Ngani ji jamanyiche kwa jwalijose juŵatamaga ku Efeso, kutandila Myahudi kwichila Ŵagiliki. Wose ŵakamwilwe ni lipamba, ni ŵalikusisye liina lya Ambuje Che Yesu.
18 Zvino vazhinji vavakanga vatenda vakauya vakareurura pachena mabasa avo akanga akaipa.
Ŵajinji mwa ŵele ŵaŵakulupilile Che Yesu ŵaiche ni ŵajitichisye paujo pa ŵandu yangalimate iŵaitesile.
19 Vazhinji vakanga vachiita zvounʼanga vakaunganidza mabhuku avo pamwe chete vakaapisa pamberi pavanhu. Vakati vaverenga mutengo wamabhuku acho, mari ikasvika madhirakema zviuru makumi mashanu.
Ŵane ŵaŵatendaga usaŵi ndanda jo, ŵajigele itabu yao iŵaitendelaga usaŵi yo ni kwijocha paujo pa ŵandu. Ŵaŵalasile ntengo wa itabu yo ni kusimana mbiya syesijinji.
20 Nenzira iyi shoko raMwari rakapararira kwazvo uye rikakura musimba.
Kwanti yeleyo, Liloŵe lya Ambuje lyapundile ni kwenela ni kola machili nnope.
21 Shure kwokunge zvose izvi zvaitika, Pauro akafunga zvokuenda kuJerusarema achipfuura nokuMasedhonia, nokuAkaya achiti, “Kana ndambosvika ikoko, ndinofanira kushanyirawo Roma.”
Payamasile yeleyo, che Paolo ŵasachile kwaula ku Yelusalemu achipitilaga ku Makedonia ni ku Akaya. Ŵatite, “Pachiiche kweleko, ikuumajila kwaula ku Loma nombe.”
22 Akatuma vabatsiri vake vaviri, Timoti naErastasi, kuMasedhonia, iye achimbosara munyika yeEzhia kwechinguva.
Ni ŵalajisye ŵaŵili mwa ŵakwakamuchisya ŵao, che Timoseo ni che Elasto, kuti ŵalongolele ku Makedonia ni nsyene ŵasigalile mu Asia kwa katema.
23 Nenguva yakaita saiyoyo bope guru rakamuka pamusoro peNzira iyi.
Katema ko ni katema kakatyochele utinda wekulungwa ku Efeso ko ligongo lya Litala lya Ambuje.
24 Mumwe mupfuri wesirivha ainzi Dhemetiri akanga achigadzira zvitemberi zvesirivha zvaAritemisi, zvakanga zvichipfumisa zvikuru mhizha dzavo.
Jwapali mundu liina lyakwe che Demetilio jwakusyana madini ga feza. Jweleju ŵaliji ni masengo ga kolosya inyago ya nyuumba sya mwana sisyaliji mpela nyuumba ja nnungu jwankongwe jwakuŵilanjikwa Atemi. Masengo go gaapokasisye kwannope ŵamasengo ŵao.
25 Akavaunganidza vose, pamwe chete navabati vaishanda mabasa akadaro, akati kwavari, “Varume, imi munoziva kuti takanga tichiwana pfuma yakanaka nebasa iri.
Che Demetilio ŵasongangenye ŵamasengo ŵao pamo ni ŵandu ŵane ŵaŵaliji ŵamasengo mpela gagogo pego ni kwasalila, “Ŵandumwe, nkumanyililanga kuti ipanje yetu itukupata yi ikukopoka mmalonda gagaga pega.
26 Zvino munozvionawo nokuzvinzwira kuti murume uyu Pauro akadzidzisa uye akatsausa vanhu vazhinji muno muEfeso, uye zviri pachena kuti nomunyika yose yeEzhia zvayo, anoti vamwari vakaitwa navanhu havasi vamwari chaivo.
Sano nkulola ni kulipikanila mwachinsyene che Paolo yakuti pakupanganya, nombe ngaŵa pa Efeso pe nambo pa Asia pose. Che Paolo ju ŵaachisisye ni kwagalausya ŵandu ajitichisye kuti achiminungu ŵapanganyiswe ni makono ga ŵandu ngaŵa achiminungu ŵa usyene.
27 Zvino njodzi iripo ndeyokuti harizi basa redu bedzi richarasikirwa nembiri yaro, asiwo temberi yamwari wedu mukuru, Aritemisi, ichazvidzwa uye iye mwarikadzi pachake, anova ndiye ari kunamatwa munyika yose yeEzhia uye nenyika yose, achatorerwa ukuru hwake.”
Nipele kupikaniche kuti malonda getu ga chigajaluche. Ni ngaŵa malonda getu pega, nambo ni nyuumba ja nnungu jwankongwe Atemi ngajichimbichikwa kose. Ni mbesi jakwe lumbili lwa ŵelewo ŵakunlamba ŵa Asia wose ni ŵandu wose ŵa mchilambo chiuchimala.”
28 Vakati vanzwa izvi, vakashatirwa vakatanga kudanidzira vachiti, “Mukuru ndiAritemisi wavaEfeso!”
Ŵandu ŵala paŵapilikene yeleyo yaachimile kwannope ni kutanda gumilanga achitiji, “Jwankulu ali Atemi jwa Ŵaefeso!”
29 Pakarepo guta rose rakanyonganiswa. Vanhu vakabata Gayo naAristakusi, shamwari dzaPauro dzaaifamba nadzo dzaibva kuMasedhonia, vakamhanya navo nomwoyo mumwe vakapinda navo munhandare.
Musi wose wagumbele utindiganyo. Ni ŵaakamwile che Gayo ni che Alisitako, ŵaŵatamaga ku Makedonia ŵaŵaliji mu ulendo umo ni che Paolo, ni ŵaajawisye kwa kwanguya kuluŵala lwa micheso.
30 Pauro akanga achida kuzviratidza pamberi pemhomho, asi vadzidzi vakamudzivisa.
Che Paolo nsyene ŵasachile kwinjila mu mpingo wa ŵandu mula nambo ŵakwakuya ŵala ŵankanyisye.
31 Kunyange vamwe vakuru veEzhia, shamwari dzaPauro, vakamutumira shoko vachimukumbirisa kuti arege kuedza kupinda munhandare.
Achakulu ŵane ŵa chilambo cha ku Asia ŵaliji achambusanga ŵao che Paolo, ŵapelechele utenga wakwachondelela kuti akalijausya nsyene ku luŵala lwa micheso ko.
32 Ungano yakanga yanyonganiswa: vamwe vaidaidzira chimwe chinhu, vamwe chimwe. Vazhinji vavanhu vakanga vasingatongozivi kuti sei vakanga varipo.
Katema ko kila mundu jwagumisile, ŵane achi ni ŵane achila, pakuŵa nkungulu ula waliji jugulijuguli, ŵajinji nganaimanyililanga ligongo lya kusongangana kwao.
33 VaJudha vakasundidzira Arekizanda mberi, uye vamwe vazhinji vaidanidzira vachimurayira zvokuita. Akaninira vanhu kuti vanyarare kuitira kuti agone kuzvidavirira pamberi pavanhu.
Pakuŵa Ŵayahudi ŵantesile che Alekisanda akopoche mmbujo mwa ŵandu, ŵandu ŵampepe mu mpingo mula ŵaganisisye kuti ali jwelejo. Nipele che Alekisanda ŵajongwele nkono ni kwamyalasya achisakaga kuliŵalanga paujo pa mpingo wa ŵandu.
34 Asi pavakaona kuti iye aiva muJudha, vose vakadanidzira pamwe chete kwenguva dzinenge maawa maviri vachiti, “Mukuru ndiAritemisi wavaEfeso!”
Nambo paŵammanyilile kuti ŵaliji Myahudi, wose ŵagumisile kwana kamo kwa masaa gaŵili, “Jwankulu ali Atemi jwa Ŵaefeso!”
35 Munyori weguta akanyaradza vanhu akati, “Varume veEfeso, ko, nyika yose haizivi here kuti guta reEfeso ndiro rinochengeta temberi yaAritemisi mukuru nomufananidzo wake, uyo wakawa uchibva kudenga?
Mbesi, jwakulemba jwa pamusi po ŵakombwele kwamyalasya, ŵaasalile, “Ŵanyamwe ŵandu ŵa ku Efeso, kila mundu pelepa akumanyilila kuti ŵandu ŵa musi wa Efeso wu, ni ŵakujilindilila nyuumba ja nnungu Atemi, ni ŵakuligosa liganga lyeswela lilyagwile kutyochela kwinani lila.
36 Naizvozvo, sezvo izvi zvisingagoni kurambika, munofanira kuti munyarare murege kumhanyira kuita chinhu.
Ngapagwa jwalijose jwakukombola kukanila yeleyo. Nipele mmyalalanje, nkatenda chachili chose kwakwanguya.
37 Mauya navarume ava pano, kunyange zvavo vasina kuba temberi dzedu kana kumhura mwarikadzi wedu.
Mwaŵilasile ŵandu ŵa pelepa namuno nganajinyelusya nyuumba ja nnungu pane kuntukana nnungu jwetu jwankongwe.
38 Zvino, kana Dhemetiri nedzimwe mhizha dzaanadzo vakange vane mhosva naani zvake, matare edzimhosva akazarurwa uye vatongi varimo. Vanogona kuvakwirira havo.
Nipele, iŵaga che Demetilio ni ŵamasengo ŵao akwete magambo gao nkati ŵandu ŵa, mikungulu jipali ni achakulu ŵa ilambo nombe nawo apali, akukombola kuŵechetelana kweleko.
39 Kana pane chimwe chinhuzve chamungada kutaura, chinofanira kutaurwa paungano iri pamutemo.
Nambo iŵaga kwana magambo gane njausye ku nkungulu waukukundikwa.
40 Asi sezvazviri izvi, tiri panjodzi yokuti tingangopiwa mhosva yokumutsa bongozozo nokuda kwezvaitika nhasi. Kana pane chimwezve chamungada kutaura, chinofanira kutaurwa paungano iri pamutemo.”
Pakuŵa akakombwele kutuŵechetela ligongo lya kutindiganya kwatukutesile lelo jino. Kutindiganya ku nganilipagwa ligongo ni sooni ngatukombola kusala ligongo lya kutenda nkungulu wu.”
41 Akati ataura izvi, akarayira kuti ungano iparare.
Paŵamasile kuŵecheta yeleyo, ŵamwasisye ŵandu ŵaŵasongangene wo.
