1 Aporosi paakanga achiri paKorinde, Pauro akafamba nomugwagwa wakanga uchipinda nomukati menyika akasvika paEfeso. Akawana vamwe vadzidzi ipapo
It fortuned whyll Appollo was at Corinthum that Paul passed thorow the vpper costes and came to Ephesus and foude certayne disciples
2 akavabvunza akati, “Makagamuchira Mweya Mutsvene here pamakatenda?” Vakapindura vakati, “Kwete, hatina kutongonzwa kuti kune Mweya Mutsvene isu.”
and sayd vnto them: have ye receaved the holy gost sence ye beleved? And they sayde vnto him: no we have not hearde whether ther be eny holy goost or no.
3 Saka Pauro akavabvunza akati, “Zvino makagamuchira rubhabhatidzo rupi?” Vakapindura vakati, “Rubhabhatidzo rwaJohani.”
And he sayd vnto them: wher wt were ye then baptised? And they sayd: with Iohns baptim
4 Pauro akati, “Rubhabhatidzo rwaJohani rwaiva rubhabhatidzo rwokutendeuka. Akaudza vanhu kuti vatende kuna iye aizouya mumashure make, iye Jesu.”
Then sayde Paul: Iohn verely bapiised with the baptim of repentaunce sayinge vnto the people that they shuld beleve on him which shuld come after him: that is on Christ Iesus.
5 Vakati vanzwa izvi, vakabhabhatidzwa muzita raIshe Jesu.
When they hearde that they were baptised in the name of the lorde Iesu.
6 Pauro akati aisa maoko ake pamusoro pavo, Mweya Mutsvene wakauya pamusoro pavo, uye vakataura nendimi vakaprofita.
And Paul layde his hondes apon them and the holy gost came on them and they spake with tonges and prophesied
7 Vakanga vari varume vanenge gumi navaviri vose.
and all the men were aboute. xii.
8 Pauro akapinda musinagoge akataura asingatyi imomo kwemwedzi mitatu, achikakavadzana navo zvinyoronyoro pamusoro poumambo hwaMwari.
And he went into the synagoge and behaved him selfe boldely for the space of thre monethes disputynge and gevynge them exhortacions of the kyngdome of God.
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.
When dyvers wexed harde herted and beleved not but spake evyll of the waye and that before the multitude: he departed from them and seperated the disciples. And disputed dayly in ye scole of one called Tyranus.
10 Izvi zvakaramba zvichiitwa kwamakore maviri, zvokuti vaJudha vose navaGiriki vaigara munyika yeEzhia vakanzwa shoko raShe.
And this contynued by the space of two yeares: so yt all they which dwelt in Asia hearde the worde of the lorde Iesu bothe Iewes and Grekes.
11 Mwari akaita mabasa anoshamisa kubudikidza naPauro,
And god wrought no small miracles by the hondes of Paul:
12 zvokuti kunyange nehangachepfu namaapuroni akanga ari pamuviri wake zvakaendeswa kuvarwere, zvirwere zvavo zvikaporeswa uye mweya yakaipa ikabva pavari.
so that from his body were brought vnto the sicke napkyns or partlettes and the diseases departed from the and the evyll spretes went out of them.
13 Vamwe vaJudha vaifamba vachidzinga mweya yakaipa vakaedza kudana zita raJesu pamusoro paavo vakanga vakabatwa namadhimoni vachiti, “Muzita raJesu, anoparidzwa naPauro, ndinokurayira kuti ubude.”
Then certayne of the vagabounde Iewes exorcistes toke apon them to call over them which had evyll spretes the name of the lorde Iesus sayinge: We adiure you by Iesu who Paul preacheth.
14 Vanakomana vanomwe vaSikevha muprista mukuru wavaJudha, vakanga vachiita izvozvo.
And ther were seven sonnes of one Sceva a Iewe and chefe of the prestes which dyd so.
15 Rimwe zuva mweya wakaipa wakavapindura ukati, “Jesu ndinomuziva, uye ndinoziva nezvaPauro, asi imi ndimi vanaaniko?”
And the evyll sprete answered and sayde: Iesus I knowe and Paul I knowe: but who are ye?
16 Ipapo murume akanga ane mweya wakaipa akasvetukira pavari akavakurira vose. Akavarova zvokuti vakamhanya vachibuda mumba vasina kupfeka uye vachibuda ropa.
And ye man in who the evyll sprete was ranne on the and overcame the and prevayled agaynst them so that they fledde out of that housse naked and wouded.
17 Izvi zvakati zvazivikanwa navaJudha navaGiriki vaigara muEfeso, vose vakabatwa nokutya, uye zita raIshe Jesu rakakudzwa nokukudzwa kukuru.
And this was knowen to all ye Iewes and Grekes also which dwelt at Ephesus and feare came on them all and they magnified the name of ye lorde Iesus.
18 Zvino vazhinji vavakanga vatenda vakauya vakareurura pachena mabasa avo akanga akaipa.
And many yt beleved came and confessed and shewed their workes.
19 Vazhinji vakanga vachiita zvounʼanga vakaunganidza mabhuku avo pamwe chete vakaapisa pamberi pavanhu. Vakati vaverenga mutengo wamabhuku acho, mari ikasvika madhirakema zviuru makumi mashanu.
Many of the which vsed curious craftes brought their bokes and burned the before all men and they counted the price of the and foude it fifty thousande silverlynges.
20 Nenzira iyi shoko raMwari rakapararira kwazvo uye rikakura musimba.
So myghtely grewe ye worde of god and prevayled.
21 Shure kwokunge zvose izvi zvaitika, Pauro akafunga zvokuenda kuJerusarema achipfuura nokuMasedhonia, nokuAkaya achiti, “Kana ndambosvika ikoko, ndinofanira kushanyirawo Roma.”
After these thinges were ended Paul purposed in the sprete to passe over Macedonia and Achaia and to goo to Ierusalem saying: After I have bene there I must also se Rome.
22 Akatuma vabatsiri vake vaviri, Timoti naErastasi, kuMasedhonia, iye achimbosara munyika yeEzhia kwechinguva.
So sent he into Macedonia two of the that ministred vnto him Timotheus and Erastus: but he him selfe remayned in Asia for a season.
23 Nenguva yakaita saiyoyo bope guru rakamuka pamusoro peNzira iyi.
The same tyme ther arose no lytell a do aboute that waye.
24 Mumwe mupfuri wesirivha ainzi Dhemetiri akanga achigadzira zvitemberi zvesirivha zvaAritemisi, zvakanga zvichipfumisa zvikuru mhizha dzavo.
For a certayne man named Demetrius a silvermyth which made silver schrynes for Diana was not a lytell beneficiall vnto the craftes men.
25 Akavaunganidza vose, pamwe chete navabati vaishanda mabasa akadaro, akati kwavari, “Varume, imi munoziva kuti takanga tichiwana pfuma yakanaka nebasa iri.
Which he called to geder with the worke men of lyke occupacion and sayd: Syrs ye knowe that by this crafte we have vauntage.
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.
Moreover ye se and heare that not alone at Ephesus but almost thorowe oute all Asia this Paul hath persuaded and turned awaye moche people saying yt they be not goddes which are made wt hondes.
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.”
So that not only this oure crafte cometh into parell to be set at nought: but also that ye temple of ye greate goddas Diana shuld be despysed and her magnificence shuld be destroyed which all Asia and the worlde worshippeth.
28 Vakati vanzwa izvi, vakashatirwa vakatanga kudanidzira vachiti, “Mukuru ndiAritemisi wavaEfeso!”
When they hearde these sayinges they were full of wrathe and cryed out saying: Greate is Diana of the Ephesians.
29 Pakarepo guta rose rakanyonganiswa. Vanhu vakabata Gayo naAristakusi, shamwari dzaPauro dzaaifamba nadzo dzaibva kuMasedhonia, vakamhanya navo nomwoyo mumwe vakapinda navo munhandare.
And all the cite was on a roore and they russhed in to the comen hall with one assent and caught Gayus and Aristarcus men of Macedonia Pauls companios.
30 Pauro akanga achida kuzviratidza pamberi pemhomho, asi vadzidzi vakamudzivisa.
When Paul wolde have entred in vnto the people ye disciples suffered him not.
31 Kunyange vamwe vakuru veEzhia, shamwari dzaPauro, vakamutumira shoko vachimukumbirisa kuti arege kuedza kupinda munhandare.
Certayne also of ye chefe of Asia which were his frendes sent vnto him desyrynge him that he wolde not preace into the comen hall.
32 Ungano yakanga yanyonganiswa: vamwe vaidaidzira chimwe chinhu, vamwe chimwe. Vazhinji vavanhu vakanga vasingatongozivi kuti sei vakanga varipo.
Some cryed one thinge and some another and the congregacion was all out of quiet and ye moare parte knewe not wherfore they were come togeder.
33 VaJudha vakasundidzira Arekizanda mberi, uye vamwe vazhinji vaidanidzira vachimurayira zvokuita. Akaninira vanhu kuti vanyarare kuitira kuti agone kuzvidavirira pamberi pavanhu.
Some of the company drue forth Alexander the Iewes thrustynge him forwardes. Alexander beckened with the honde and wolde have geven ye people an answer.
34 Asi pavakaona kuti iye aiva muJudha, vose vakadanidzira pamwe chete kwenguva dzinenge maawa maviri vachiti, “Mukuru ndiAritemisi wavaEfeso!”
When they knewe ye he was a Iewe ther arose a shoute almost for the space of two houres of all men cryinge greate is Diana of the Ephesians.
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?
When the toune clarcke had ceased the people he sayd: ye men of Ephesus what man is it that knoweth not how that the cite of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddas Diana and of ye ymage which came fro heven.
36 Naizvozvo, sezvo izvi zvisingagoni kurambika, munofanira kuti munyarare murege kumhanyira kuita chinhu.
Seinge then yt no man sayth here agaynst ye ought to be content and to do nothinge rasshly:
37 Mauya navarume ava pano, kunyange zvavo vasina kuba temberi dzedu kana kumhura mwarikadzi wedu.
For ye have brought hyther these me whiche are nether robbers of churches nor yet despisers of youre goddes.
38 Zvino, kana Dhemetiri nedzimwe mhizha dzaanadzo vakange vane mhosva naani zvake, matare edzimhosva akazarurwa uye vatongi varimo. Vanogona kuvakwirira havo.
Wherfore yf Demetrius and the craftes men which are wt him have eny sayinge to eny man the lawe is open and ther are ruelars let the accuse one another.
39 Kana pane chimwe chinhuzve chamungada kutaura, chinofanira kutaurwa paungano iri pamutemo.
Yf ye goo about eny other thinge it maye be determined in a lawfull cogregacion
40 Asi sezvazviri izvi, tiri panjodzi yokuti tingangopiwa mhosva yokumutsa bongozozo nokuda kwezvaitika nhasi. Kana pane chimwezve chamungada kutaura, chinofanira kutaurwa paungano iri pamutemo.”
For we are in ieoperdy to be accused of this dayes busines: for as moche as ther is no cause wherby we maye geve a rekenynge of this concourse of people.
41 Akati ataura izvi, akarayira kuti ungano iparare.
And when he had thus spoken he let the congregacion departe.
