Mabasa 4
1 Vaprista nomukuru wavarindi vetemberi navaSadhusi vakauya kuna Petro naJohani pavakanga vachiri kutaura navanhu.
AND as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them,
2 Vakakanganisika zvikuru nokuti vapostori vakanga vachidzidzisa vanhu uye vachiparidza kumuka kwavakafa muna Jesu.
Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
3 Vakabata Petro naJohani, uye nokuda kwokuti aiva manheru, vakavaisa mujeri kusvikira zuva raitevera.
And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next day: for it was now eventide.
4 Asi vazhinji vakanzwa shoko vakatenda, uye varume vakasvika zviuru zvinenge zvishanu pauwandu.
Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.
5 Fume mangwana, vabati, vakuru navadzidzisi vomurayiro vakasangana muJerusarema.
And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes,
6 Anasi muprista mukuru aivapo, uye Kayafasi Johani, Arekizanda navamwe varume vemhuri yomuprista mukuru vaivapowo.
And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.
7 Vakaita kuti Petro naJohani vauyiswe pamberi pavo vakatanga kuvabvunza vachiti, “Makaita izvi nesimba raani kana kuti nezita raani?”
And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this?
8 Ipapo Petro azere noMweya Mutsvene, akati kwavari, “Imi vabati nemi vakuru vavanhu,
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
9 kana tadanwa nhasi nokuda kwebasa rakanaka rakaitwa kuchirema uye tichibvunzwa kuti akaporeswa sei,
If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole;
10 zvino muzive izvi, imi navanhu vose veIsraeri kuti: Zvakaitwa nezita raJesu Kristu weNazareta, iye wamakaroverera pamuchinjikwa asi Mwari akamumutsa kubva kuvakafa, ndiye aita kuti murume uyu amire pamberi penyu apora kudai.
Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
11 Ndiye “‘ibwe ramakaramba imi vavaki, rakazova musoro wekona.’
This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
12 Ruponeso haruwanikwi kuna ani zvake, nokuti hakuna rimwe zita pasi pedenga rakapiwa kuvanhu ratingaponeswa naro.”
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
13 Vakati vachiona kusatya kwaPetro naJohani uye vachiziva kuti vakanga vasina kudzidza, vachingova vanhuwo zvavo, vakakatyamara uye vakarangarira kuti varume ava vaiva naJesu.
Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
14 Asi vachiona murume akanga aporeswa amire navo ipapo, havana chavakagona kutaura.
And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
15 Saka vakavarayira kuti vabve paDare Guru, uye ivo vakasara vachitaurirana.
But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
16 Vakati, “Tichaita seiko navarume ava? Munhu wose anogara muJerusarema anoziva kuti vakaita chishamiso chikuru uye isu hatigoni kuzviramba.
Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.
17 Asi kuti chinhu ichi chirege kuramba chichipararira pakati pavanhu, tinofanira kuyambira varume ava kuti varege kutaura kuna ani zvake muzita iri.”
But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.
18 Ipapo vakavadanazve kuti vapinde ndokuvarayira kuti varege kutaura kana kutongodzidzisa muzita raJesu.
And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
19 Asi Petro naJohani vakapindura vakati, “Tongai henyu imi kana zvakarurama pamberi paMwari kuti titeerere imi kupfuura Mwari.
But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.
20 Nokuti isu hatigoni kurega kutaura pamusoro pezvatakaona nezvatakanzwa.”
For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.
21 Shure kwokuvayambirazve vakavarega vakaenda. Havana kugona kufunga kuti vangavaranga sei, nokuti vanhu vose vakanga vachirumbidza Mwari pamusoro pezvakanga zvaitika.
So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for that which was done.
22 Nokuti murume akanga aporeswa nechishamiso akanga ana makore anodarika makumi mana.
For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was shewed.
23 Vakati vasunungurwa, Petro naJohani vakadzokera kuvanhu vokwavo vakandovaudza zvose zvakanga zvarehwa navaprista vakuru navakuru.
And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them.
24 Vakati vanzwa izvi, vakasimudza manzwi pamwe chete kuna Mwari vakanyengetera vachiti, “Ishe Mwari, imi makaita denga nenyika negungwa, nezvose zvirimo.
And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:
25 Makataura noMweya Mutsvene kubudikidza nomuromo womuranda wenyu, baba vedu Dhavhidhi, muchiti: “‘Ndudzi dzinoitireko hasha uye vanhu vanofungireiko zvisina maturo?
Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?
26 Madzimambo enyika azvigadzirira uye vabati vanoungana pamwe chete kuzorwa naIshe uye noMuzodziwa Wake.’
The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ.
27 Zvirokwazvo Herodhi naPondiasi Pirato vakaungana pamwe chete neveDzimwe Ndudzi uye navanhu veIsraeri muguta rino kuzorangana kurwisa Jesu muranda wenyu mutsvene, iye wamakazodza.
For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,
28 Vakaita zvakanga zvatongwa nesimba renyu uye nokuda kwenyu kuti zvichaitika.
For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.
29 Zvino, Ishe, tarirai kutyisidzira kwavo mugobatsira varanda venyu kuti vataure shoko renyu nokushinga kukuru.
And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,
30 Tambanudzai ruoko rwenyu kuti muporese uye muite zviratidzo nezvishamiso kubudikidza nezita raJesu muranda wenyu mutsvene.”
By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.
31 Shure kwokunge vanyengetera, nzvimbo yavakanga vakaungana pairi yakazungunuswa. Uye vose vakazadzwa noMweya Mutsvene vakataura shoko raMwari vasingatyi.
And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.
32 Vatendi vose vakanga vano mwoyo mumwe nendangariro imwe. Hakuna aiti chimwe chezvaaiva nazvo ndechake oga, asi vakagovana zvose zvavakanga vanazvo.
And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
33 Vapostori vakaramba vachipupura nesimba kumuka kwaIshe Jesu, uye nyasha huru dzaiva pamusoro pavo.
And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.
34 Pakanga pasina vanoshayiwa pakati pavo. Nokuti nguva nenguva vaya vakanga vane minda kana dzimba vakazvitengesa, vakauyisa mari yezvavakatengesa
Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,
35 vakazviisa patsoka dzavapostori, uye yakagoverwa kuna ani zvake sokushayiwa kwake.
And laid them down at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.
36 Josefa, muRevhi aibva kuSaipurasi, uyo akatumidzwa navapostori kunzi Bhanabhasi (kureva kuti Mwanakomana woKukurudzira),
And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation, ) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus,
37 akatengesa munda wake akauya nemari akaiisa pamberi pavapostori.
Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
