Mabasa 2
1 Zuva rePendekosti rakati rasvika, vakanga vakaungana vose panzvimbo imwe chete.
When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.
2 Pakarepo kutinhira sokwemhepo inovhuvhuta nesimba kwakabva kudenga kukazadza imba yose yavakanga vagere.
Suddenly a sound like a mighty rushing wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.
3 Vakaona zvakanga zvakaita sendimi dzomoto dzakaparadzana uye dzakamhara pamusoro pomumwe nomumwe wavo.
They saw tongues like flames of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.
4 Vose vakazadzwa noMweya Mutsvene vakatanga kutaura nedzimwe ndimi sokupiwa kwavakaitwa noMweya.
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
5 Zvino muJerusarema maigara vaJudha vaitya Mwari vaibva kundudzi dzose pasi pedenga.
Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven.
6 Vakati vanzwa kutinhira uyu, vazhinji vakaungana pamwe chete vachishamiswa, nokuti mumwe nomumwe akavanzwa vachitaura norurimi rwake chairwo.
And when this sound rang out, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard them speaking his own language.
7 Vakashamiswa kwazvo, vakabvunzana vachiti, “Ko, vanhu ava vose havasi vaGarirea here vari kutaura?
Astounded and amazed, they asked, “Are not all these men who are speaking Galileans?
8 Zvino seiko mumwe nomumwe wedu achivanzwa nomutauro waakaberekwa nawo?
How is it then that each of us hears them in his own native language?
9 VaPatio, vaMedhia navaEramu; navanogara kuMesopotamia, Judhea neKapadhokia, Pondasi neEzhia,
Parthians, Medes, and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
10 Firigia nePamufiria, Ijipiti namativi eRibhia pedyo neKureni; vaeni vanobva kuRoma
Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome,
11 (zvose vaJudha navakatendeukira kuchiJudha); vaKirete navaArabhu, tinovanzwa vachitaura zvishamiso zvaMwari nendimi dzedu chaidzo!”
both Jews and converts to Judaism; Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!”
12 Vakakatyamara uye vakakanganisika, vakabvunzana vachiti, “Zvinoreveiko izvi?”
Astounded and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?”
13 Kunyange zvakadaro, vamwe vakavaseka vakati, “Vanwa waini yakawanda.”
But others mocked them and said, “They are drunk on new wine!”
14 Ipapo Petro akamira pamwe chete navane gumi nomumwe, akadanidzira kuvanhu vazhinji achiti, “Hama imi vaJudha nemi mose mugere muJerusarema, regai ndikutsanangurirei chinhu ichi; nyatsoteererai mashoko angu.
Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, lifted up his voice, and addressed the crowd: “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen carefully to my words.
15 Vanhu ava havana kudhakwa sezvamunofungidzira zvaichiri nguva yepfumbamwe mangwanani kudai!
These men are not drunk, as you suppose. It is only the third hour of the day!
16 Kwete, izvi ndizvo zvakataurwa nomuprofita Joere achiti,
No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17 “‘Mumazuva okupedzisira,’ ndizvo zvinotaura Mwari, ‘ndichadurura Mweya wangu pamusoro pavanhu vose. Vanakomana navanasikana venyu vachaprofita, majaya enyu achaona zviratidzo, vatana venyu vacharota hope.
‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out My Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.
18 Kunyange napamusoro pavaranda vangu, zvose varume navakadzi, ndichadurura Mweya wangu mumazuva iwayo, uye vachaprofita.
Even on My menservants and maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.
19 Ndicharatidza zvishamiso kudenga kumusoro, nezviratidzo panyika pasi, ropa nomoto uye nemhute youtsi.
I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke.
20 Zuva richashanduka rikava rima, uye mwedzi uchashanduka ukava ropa, zuva guru raShe uye rinobwinya risati rasvika.
The sun will be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the coming of the great and glorious Day of the Lord.
21 Uye ani naani anodana kuzita raShe achaponeswa.’
And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’
22 “Imi vaIsraeri, teererai izvi: Jesu weNazareta akanga ari murume akaratidzwa kwamuri naMwari namabasa esimba, nezvishamiso uye nezviratidzo, zvakaitwa naMwari pakati penyu kubudikidza naye, sezvamunoziva imi pachenyu.
Men of Israel, listen to this message: Jesus of Nazareth was a man certified by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs, which God did among you through Him, as you yourselves know.
23 Murume uyu akaiswa mumaoko enyu nourongwa uye nokuziva zviri mberi kwaMwari; uye imi, mukamuroverera pamuchinjikwa muchibatsirwa navanhu vakaipa.
He was delivered up by God’s set plan and foreknowledge, and you, by the hands of the lawless, put Him to death by nailing Him to the cross.
24 Asi Mwari akamumutsa kubva kuvakafa, akamusunungura kubva pakurwadza kworufu, nokuti zvakanga zvisingagoni kuti rufu rumubate.
But God raised Him from the dead, releasing Him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for Him to be held in its clutches.
25 Dhavhidhi akataura nezvake achiti: “‘Ndakaona Ishe mberi kwangu nguva dzose. Nokuti ari kuruoko rwangu rworudyi, handingatongozungunuswi.
David says about Him: ‘I saw the Lord always before me; because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
26 Naizvozvo mwoyo wangu unofara uye rurimi rwangu runofarisisa; uyezve muviri wangu uchararama netariro,
Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell in hope,
because You will not abandon my soul to Hades, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay. (Hadēs g86)
28 Makandizivisa nzira dzoupenyu; muchandizadza nomufaro pamberi penyu.’
You have made known to me the paths of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence.’
29 “Hama, ndingakuudzai ndiine chokwadi kuti tateguru wedu Dhavhidhi akafa akavigwa, uye guva rake richiri pano kusvikira nhasi.
Brothers, I can tell you with confidence that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
30 Asi akanga ari muprofita uye aiziva kuti Mwari akanga amuvimbisa nemhiko kuti aizogadza mumwe wezvizvarwa zvake pachigaro choushe.
But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that He would place one of his descendants on his throne.
31 Achiona zviri mberi, akataura nezvokumuka kwaKristu, kuti akanga asina kusiyiwa muguva, uye muviri wake hauna kuona kuora. (Hadēs g86)
Foreseeing this, David spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that He was not abandoned to Hades, nor did His body see decay. (Hadēs g86)
32 Mwari akamutsa Jesu uyu kubva kuvakafa, uye isu tose tiri zvapupu zvacho.
God has raised this Jesus to life, to which we are all witnesses.
33 Akasimudzirwa kuruoko rworudyi rwaMwari, akagamuchira kubva kuna Baba chipikirwa choMweya Mutsvene uye akadurura izvi zvamuri kuona nokunzwa iye zvino.
Exalted, then, to the right hand of God, He has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear.
34 Nokuti Dhavhidhi haana kukwira kudenga, asi iye akati: “‘Ishe akati kuna She wangu: “Gara kuruoko rwangu rworudyi
For David did not ascend into heaven, but he himself says: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand
35 kusvikira ndaita kuti vavengi vako vave chitsiko chetsoka dzako.”’
until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’
36 “Naizvozvo vaIsraeri vose ngavazive izvi: Jesu uyu, wamakaroverera pamuchinjikwa, Mwari akamuita Ishe naKristu.”
Therefore let all Israel know with certainty that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ!”
37 Vanhu vakati vachinzwa izvozvo, vakabayiwa pamwoyo vakati kuna Petro navamwe vapostori, “Hama, tichaiteiko?”
When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and asked Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”
38 Petro akapindura akati, “Tendeukai mubhabhatidzwe, mumwe nomumwe wenyu, muzita raJesu Kristu kuti muregererwe zvivi zvenyu, uye mugogamuchira chipo choMweya Mutsvene.
Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39 Chipikirwa ndechenyu navana venyu navose vari kure, navose vachazodanwa naShe Mwari wedu.”
This promise belongs to you and your children and to all who are far off—to all whom the Lord our God will call to Himself.”
40 Akavayambira namamwe mashoko mazhinji; uye akavakumbirisa achiti, “Muzviponese parudzi urwu rwakaora.”
With many other words he testified, and he urged them, “Be saved from this corrupt generation.”
41 Avo vakagamuchira shoko rake vakabhabhatidzwa, uye pazuva iro, vanhu vanenge zviuru zvitatu vakawedzerwa pauwandu hwavo.
Those who embraced his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to the believers that day.
42 Vakazvipira pakudzidzisa kwavapostori napakuwadzana, pakumedura chingwa uye napakunyengetera.
They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
43 Vanhu vose vakabatwa nokutya, uye zvishamiso zvizhinji nezviratidzo zvakaitwa navapostori.
A sense of awe came over everyone, and the apostles performed many wonders and signs.
44 Vatendi vose vaiva pamwe chete uye vakagoverana zvinhu zvose.
All the believers were together and had everything in common.
45 Vachitengesa zvavaiva nazvo nenhumbi dzavo, vakapa kuna ani naani aishayiwa.
Selling their possessions and goods, they shared with anyone who was in need.
46 Mazuva ose vairamba vachiungana pamwe chete mutemberi. Vaimedura chingwa mudzimba dzavo uye vachidya pamwe chete nomufaro uye nomwoyo wakanaka,
With one accord they continued to meet daily in the temple courts and to break bread from house to house, sharing their meals with gladness and sincerity of heart,
47 vachirumbidza Mwari uye vachidikanwa navanhu vose. Uye Ishe akawedzera pauwandu hwavo zuva rimwe nerimwe avo vakanga vachiponeswa.
praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
