Mabasa 21
1 Shure kwokuparadzana kwedu navo, takaenda kugungwa tikandokwira chikepe tikananga kuKosi. Zuva rakatevera takaenda kuRhodzi uye tichibva ikoko takaenda kuPatara.
And it came to pass, that after we were separated from them, and had lanched, we came with a straight course to Coos, and the [day] following to Rhodes, and from thence to Patara:
2 Takawana chikepe chaiyambuka chichienda kuFonisia, tikakwira machiri tikaenda.
And finding a ship sailing over to Phenicia, we went aboard, and set forth.
3 Takati taona Saipurasi takaipfuura nechezasi kwayo, tikaenda kuSiria. Takandoburuka chikepe paTire, paiburutsa chikepe chedu nhumbi dzacho.
Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden.
4 Takati tawana vadzidzi ipapo, takagara navo kwamazuva manomwe. Vakakumbirisa Pauro kubudikidza noMweya kuti arege kuenda kuJerusarema.
And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
5 Asi nguva yedu yakati yapera, takabvapo tikaenderera mberi norwendo rwedu. Vadzidzi vose pamwe chete navakadzi vavo navana vakatiperekedza vakatisiya tava kunze kweguta, uye pamahombekombe ipapo takapfugama tikanyengetera.
And when we had accomplished those days, we departed, and proceeded on our way; and they all conducted us with wives and children, till [we were] out of the city; and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed.
6 Shure kwokuonekana kwedu, takabva taenda kundokwira chikepe, ivo vakadzokera kumusha kwavo.
And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned home again.
7 Takapfuurira mberi norwendo rwedu tichibva kuTire tikandoburuka chikepe paToremai, patakakwazisana nehama tikagara zuva rimwe chete navo.
And when we had finished [our] course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.
8 Zuva rakatevera takabvapo, tikandosvika kuKesaria tikandogara pamba pomuvhangeri Firipi, mumwe wavaya vanomwe.
And the next [day] we that were of Paul's company departed, and came to Cesarea; and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was [one] of the seven; and abode with him.
9 Akanga ana vanasikana vana vakanga vasati vawanikwa vaiprofita.
And the same man had four daughters, virgins, who prophesied.
10 Shure kwokugara kwedu ipapo kwamazuva akati kuti, muprofita ainzi Agabhusi akasvika achibva kuJudhea.
And as we tarried [there] many days, there came down from Judea a certain prophet, named Agabus.
11 Asvika kwatiri, akatora bhanhire raPauro, akabva azvisunga makumbo namaoko ake naro akati, “Mweya Mutsvene anoti, ‘Nenzira imwe chete iyoyi, vaJudha vokuJerusarema vachasunga muridzi webhanhire vagomuisa mumaoko eveDzimwe Ndudzi.’”
And when he had come to us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Spirit, So will the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and will deliver [him] into the hands of the Gentiles.
12 Takati tanzwa izvi, isu navanhu voko takakumbirisa Pauro kuti arege kukwidza kuJerusarema.
And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 Ipapo Pauro akapindura akati, “Seiko muchichema uye muchirwadzisa mwoyo wangu? Ini ndakagadzirira kwete kusungwa kwoga, asi kufawo muJerusarema nokuda kwezita raIshe Jesu.”
Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep, and to break my heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
14 Paakaramba kudziviswa, isu takamurega tikati, “Kuda kwaShe ngakuitwe.”
And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
15 Shure kwaizvozvo takagadzirira tikakwidza kuJerusarema.
And after those days we took up our furniture, and went up to Jerusalem.
16 Vamwe vadzidzi vokuKesaria vakatiperekedza vakatisvitsa kuimba yaMunasoni, uko kwataifanira kundogara. Akanga ari murume aibva kuSaipurasi uye ari mumwe wavadzidzi vokutanga.
There went with us also [certain] of the disciples of Cesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.
17 Takati tasvika paJerusarema, hama dzakatigamuchira nomufaro.
And when we had come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
18 Zuva rakatevera Pauro nesu tose takaenda kundoona Jakobho, uye vakuru vose vaivapo.
And the [day] following Paul went in with us to James: and all the elders were present.
19 Pauro akavakwazisa uye akanyatsovarondedzera zvakanga zvaitwa naMwari pakati pavaHedheni kubudikidza noushumiri hwake.
And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.
20 Vakati vanzwa izvi, vakarumbidza Mwari. Ipapo vakati kuna Pauro, “Unoona, hama, kune zviuru nezviuru zvavaJudha vakatenda, uye vose zvavo vanoshingairira murayiro.
And when they heard [it], they glorified the Lord, and said to him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are who believe; and they are all zealous of the law:
21 Vakaudzwa kuti iwe unodzidzisa vaJudha vose vagere pakati peveDzimwe Ndudzi kuti vatsauke kubva kuna Mozisi, uchivaudza kuti varege kudzingisa vana vavo kana kuchengeta tsika dzedu.
And they are informed concerning thee, that thou teachest all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying, That they ought not to circumcise [their] children, neither to walk after the customs.
22 Zvino toita seiko? Vachanzwa zvirokwazvo kuti wauya,
What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come.
23 saka iwe chiita zvatinokuudza zvino. Tina varume vana pano vakaita mhiko.
Do therefore this that we say to thee: we have four men who have a vow on them;
24 Tora varume ava, ubatane navo pakuzvinatsa kwavo, uye iwe ugovaripira kuti vaveurwe misoro yavo. Ipapo munhu wose achaziva kuti hapana chokwadi pane zviri kurehwa pamusoro pako, asi kuti iwe pachako unoteerera murayiro.
Take them, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave [their] heads: and all may know that those things of which they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but [that] thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.
25 Kana vari vatendi vokune veDzimwe Ndudzi, takavanyorera pane zvatakatema kuti varege kudya zvakabayirwa kuzvifananidzo, uye ropa, nenyama yemhuka dzakadzipwa uye varege upombwe.”
As concerning the Gentiles who believe, we have written [and] concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from [things] offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from lewdness.
26 Zuva rakatevera Pauro akatora varume vaya uye akazvinatsa pamwe chete navo. Ipapo akaenda kutemberi kundozivisa kupera kwamazuva okuzvinatsa uye kuti chipiriso chaizoitirwa mumwe nomumwe wavo rinhi.
Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them, entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until an offering should be offered for every one of them.
27 Mazuva manomwe akati oda kupera, vamwe vaJudha vaibva kuEzhia vakaona Pauro patemberi. Vakamutsa vanhu vazhinji uye vakamubata,
And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews who were from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him,
28 vachishevedzera vachiti, “Varume veIsraeri, tibatsirei! Uyu ndiye murume anodzidzisa vanhu kwose kwose zvinopesana navanhu vokwedu, murayiro wedu uye nenzvimbo ino. Zvisati zviri izvozvo zvoga, akapinza vaGiriki muruvanze rwetemberi akasvibisa nzvimbo iyi tsvene.”
Crying out, Men of Israel, help. This is the man that teacheth all [men] every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further, hath brought Greeks also into the temple; and hath polluted this holy place.
29 (Nokuti vakanga vamboona Tirofimasi muEfeso ari muguta pamwe chete naPauro vakafunga kuti Pauro akanga apinda naye mutemberi.)
(For they had seen before with him in the city, Trophimus, an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)
30 Guta rose rakamutswa, uye vanhu vakauya vachimhanya vachibva kumativi ose. Vakabata Pauro, vakamukwevera kunze kwetemberi, pakarepo masuo akazarirwa.
And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul and drew him out of the temple. And forthwith the doors were shut.
31 Pavakanga vachiedza kumuuraya, shoko rakasvika kumukuru wehondo yeuto ravaRoma richiti guta rose reJerusarema rakanga raita bope.
And as they went about to kill him, tidings came to the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
32 Pakarepo akatora mamwe machinda navarwi akamhanyira kuvanhu. Vaiti vebongozozo vakati vachiona mukuru wamauto ana varwi vake, vakabva varega kurova Pauro.
Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them. And when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating Paul.
33 Mukuru wamauto akauya akasunga Pauro uye akarayira kuti asungwe nengetani mbiri. Ipapo akamubvunza kuti akanga ari ani uye kuti akanga aitei.
Then the chief captain came near and took him, and commanded [him] to be bound with two chains: and inquired who he was, and what he had done.
34 Vamwe vaiva pakati pavanhu vazhinji ava vakadanidzira, mumwe ichi, mumwe icho, uye sezvo mukuru wamauto akanga asingagoni kusvika pachokwadi chenyaya nokuda kwebope, akarayira kuti Pauro aiswe kudzimba dzavarwi.
And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle.
35 Pauro akati asvika pamatanho, bongozozo ravanhu rakanga rakurisa zvokuti akaita zvokutotakurwa navarwi.
And when he came upon the stairs, so it was that he was borne by the soldiers, for the violence of the people.
36 Vanhu vazhinji vaimutevera vakaramba vachidanidzira vachiti, “Ngaaurayiwe!”
For the multitude of the people followed, crying, Away with him.
37 Varwi pavakanga vava kuda kupinza Pauro mudzimba dzavarwi, akakumbira mukuru wavarwi akati, “Ndingataurawo nemi here?” Iye akati, “Unotaura chiGiriki here?
And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said to the chief captain, May I speak to thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek?
38 Ko, hauzi uya muIjipita akamutsa bope, akatungamirira zviuru zvina zvavapanduki mugwenga nguva dzakapfuura here?”
Art not thou that Egyptian, who before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?
39 Pauro akapindura akati, “Ini ndiri muJudha anobva kuTasasi kuSirisia, munhu weguta rakakurumbira. Ndapota regai nditaure kuvanhu.”
But Paul said, I am a man [who am] a Jew of Tarsus, [a city] of Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and I beseech thee suffer me to speak to the people.
40 Akati apiwa mvumo nomukuru wavarwi, Pauro akamira pamatanho akaninira vanhu noruoko rwake. Uye vakati vanyarara vose, akati kwavari nechiHebheru:
And when he had given him license, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand to the people. And when there was made entire silence, he spoke to [them] in the Hebrew language, saying,
