Mabasa 2
1 Zuva rePendekosti rakati rasvika, vakanga vakaungana vose panzvimbo imwe chete.
SO when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with unanimity assembled together.
2 Pakarepo kutinhira sokwemhepo inovhuvhuta nesimba kwakabva kudenga kukazadza imba yose yavakanga vagere.
And there came suddenly from heaven a sound as it were of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.
3 Vakaona zvakanga zvakaita sendimi dzomoto dzakaparadzana uye dzakamhara pamusoro pomumwe nomumwe wavo.
And there was an appearance to them of divided tongues, as of fire, and it rested on every one of them.
4 Vose vakazadzwa noMweya Mutsvene vakatanga kutaura nedzimwe ndimi sokupiwa kwavakaitwa noMweya.
And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves.
5 Zvino muJerusarema maigara vaJudha vaitya Mwari vaibva kundudzi dzose pasi pedenga.
Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem, Jews, men of piety, 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 report spread, the multitude collected around them, and were overwhelmed with astonishment, because they heard them speaking every one in his own peculiar dialect.
7 Vakashamiswa kwazvo, vakabvunzana vachiti, “Ko, vanhu ava vose havasi vaGarirea here vari kutaura?
And they were all amazed, and wondered, saying one to another, Are not all these who are speaking Galileans?
8 Zvino seiko mumwe nomumwe wedu achivanzwa nomutauro waakaberekwa nawo?
And how do we hear every man in our own peculiar dialect, in which from our birth we were brought up?
9 VaPatio, vaMedhia navaEramu; navanogara kuMesopotamia, Judhea neKapadhokia, Pondasi neEzhia,
Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and they who inhabit Mesopotamia, and Judea, and Cappadocia, Pontus, and Asia,
10 Firigia nePamufiria, Ijipiti namativi eRibhia pedyo neKureni; vaeni vanobva kuRoma
and Phrygia, and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Lybia adjoining Cyrene, and the sojourners, who are Romans, both Jews and proselytes,
11 (zvose vaJudha navakatendeukira kuchiJudha); vaKirete navaArabhu, tinovanzwa vachitaura zvishamiso zvaMwari nendimi dzedu chaidzo!”
Cretans and Arabians, we hear them speaking in our own several tongues the marvellous things of God.
12 Vakakatyamara uye vakakanganisika, vakabvunzana vachiti, “Zvinoreveiko izvi?”
And they were all amazed, and much perplexed, and knew not what to think, saying one to another, What can this mean?
13 Kunyange zvakadaro, vamwe vakavaseka vakati, “Vanwa waini yakawanda.”
But others scoffing said, These men are brimful of sweet 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.
But Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice, and addressed them; Men of Judea, and all ye who dwell at Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to my words:
15 Vanhu ava havana kudhakwa sezvamunofungidzira zvaichiri nguva yepfumbamwe mangwanani kudai!
for these men are not, as ye suppose, drunk, for it is only the third hour of the day.
16 Kwete, izvi ndizvo zvakataurwa nomuprofita Joere achiti,
But 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.
“And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour our of my spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
18 Kunyange napamusoro pavaranda vangu, zvose varume navakadzi, ndichadurura Mweya wangu mumazuva iwayo, uye vachaprofita.
and upon my servants and my handmaidens in those days will I pour out of my spirit; and they shall prophesy:
19 Ndicharatidza zvishamiso kudenga kumusoro, nezviratidzo panyika pasi, ropa nomoto uye nemhute youtsi.
and I will perform prodigies in the heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke.
20 Zuva richashanduka rikava rima, uye mwedzi uchashanduka ukava ropa, zuva guru raShe uye rinobwinya risati rasvika.
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and illustrious day of the Lord come.
21 Uye ani naani anodana kuzita raShe achaponeswa.’
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the Lord shall 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, hear these words; Jesus the Nazarean, a man from God, pointed out to you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as yourselves also know:
23 Murume uyu akaiswa mumaoko enyu nourongwa uye nokuziva zviri mberi kwaMwari; uye imi, mukamuroverera pamuchinjikwa muchibatsirwa navanhu vakaipa.
him, by the destined counsel and foreknowledge of God delivered up, ye have seized, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
24 Asi Mwari akamumutsa kubva kuvakafa, akamusunungura kubva pakurwadza kworufu, nokuti zvakanga zvisingagoni kuti rufu rumubate.
whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: forasmuch as it was not possible that he should be held thereby.
25 Dhavhidhi akataura nezvake achiti: “‘Ndakaona Ishe mberi kwangu nguva dzose. Nokuti ari kuruoko rwangu rworudyi, handingatongozungunuswi.
For David speaketh concerning him, “I have seen the Lord always before me, for he is at my right hand, that I might not be shaken:
26 Naizvozvo mwoyo wangu unofara uye rurimi rwangu runofarisisa; uyezve muviri wangu uchararama netariro,
therefore is my heart full of joy, and my tongue hath exulted; and still shall my flesh also repose in hope,
that thou wilt not leave my soul in the mansion of the dead, nor permit that Holy One of thine to see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
28 Makandizivisa nzira dzoupenyu; muchandizadza nomufaro pamberi penyu.’
Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt fill me with delight by thy countenance.”
29 “Hama, ndingakuudzai ndiine chokwadi kuti tateguru wedu Dhavhidhi akafa akavigwa, uye guva rake richiri pano kusvikira nhasi.
Men and brethren, permit me to speak with freedom to you concerning the patriarch David, that he hath been both dead and buried, and his sepulchre 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.
Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up the Messiah to sit upon his throne;
31 Achiona zviri mberi, akataura nezvokumuka kwaKristu, kuti akanga asina kusiyiwa muguva, uye muviri wake hauna kuona kuora. (Hadēs g86)
he, foreseeing this, spake of the resurrection of the Messiah, that his soul should not be left in the mansion of the dead, and that his flesh should not see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
32 Mwari akamutsa Jesu uyu kubva kuvakafa, uye isu tose tiri zvapupu zvacho.
This very Jesus hath God raised up, of which we all are witnesses.
33 Akasimudzirwa kuruoko rworudyi rwaMwari, akagamuchira kubva kuna Baba chipikirwa choMweya Mutsvene uye akadurura izvi zvamuri kuona nokunzwa iye zvino.
He therefore being exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, hath poured out this, which ye now see and hear.
34 Nokuti Dhavhidhi haana kukwira kudenga, asi iye akati: “‘Ishe akati kuna She wangu: “Gara kuruoko rwangu rworudyi
For David is not ascended into the heavens: for he saith himself, “The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit on my right hand,
35 kusvikira ndaita kuti vavengi vako vave chitsiko chetsoka dzako.”’
until I make thine enemies a footstool for thy feet.”
36 “Naizvozvo vaIsraeri vose ngavazive izvi: Jesu uyu, wamakaroverera pamuchinjikwa, Mwari akamuita Ishe naKristu.”
Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly, that God hath made him Lord and Messiah, even that very Jesus whom ye crucified.
37 Vanhu vakati vachinzwa izvozvo, vakabayiwa pamwoyo vakati kuna Petro navamwe vapostori, “Hama, tichaiteiko?”
Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, 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.
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptised every one of you into the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
39 Chipikirwa ndechenyu navana venyu navose vari kure, navose vachazodanwa naShe Mwari wedu.”
For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off; even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
40 Akavayambira namamwe mashoko mazhinji; uye akavakumbirisa achiti, “Muzviponese parudzi urwu rwakaora.”
And with many other words he testified and exhorted, saying, Be saved from this untoward generation.
41 Avo vakagamuchira shoko rake vakabhabhatidzwa, uye pazuva iro, vanhu vanenge zviuru zvitatu vakawedzerwa pauwandu hwavo.
They therefore who gladly received his discourse were baptised: and there were added to them that day about three thousand souls.
42 Vakazvipira pakudzidzisa kwavapostori napakuwadzana, pakumedura chingwa uye napakunyengetera.
And they persevered stedfastly in the doctrine of the apostles, and in communion, and in breaking bread, and in prayers.
43 Vanhu vose vakabatwa nokutya, uye zvishamiso zvizhinji nezviratidzo zvakaitwa navapostori.
And on every soul there was an awe: and many miracles and signs were done by the apostles.
44 Vatendi vose vaiva pamwe chete uye vakagoverana zvinhu zvose.
Now all who believed were together, and had all things common;
45 Vachitengesa zvavaiva nazvo nenhumbi dzavo, vakapa kuna ani naani aishayiwa.
and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as every one had need.
46 Mazuva ose vairamba vachiungana pamwe chete mutemberi. Vaimedura chingwa mudzimba dzavo uye vachidya pamwe chete nomufaro uye nomwoyo wakanaka,
And daily continuing with one mind at the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they partook of their food with great joy and simplicity of heart,
47 vachirumbidza Mwari uye vachidikanwa navanhu vose. Uye Ishe akawedzera pauwandu hwavo zuva rimwe nerimwe avo vakanga vachiponeswa.
praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added the saved ones daily to the church.
