Mabasa 5
1 Zvino mumwe murume ainzi Ananiasi, pamwe chete nomukadzi wake Safira, akatengesawo chikamu chepfuma yake.
But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, got money for his property,
2 Mukadzi wake achinyatsozvizivawo, akazvikamurira chimwe chikamu chemari, asi yakasara akauya nayo akaiisa pamberi pavapostori.
And kept back part of the price, his wife having knowledge of it, and took the rest and put it at the feet of the Apostles.
3 Ipapo Petro akati, “Ananiasi, Satani azadzireiko mwoyo wako kudai, kuti usvike pakureva nhema kuMweya Mutsvene uye wazvikamurira imwe mari yawawana pakutengesa munda?
But Peter said, Ananias, why has the Evil One put it into your heart to be false to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
4 Ko, wakanga usiri wako here usati watengeswa? Uye shure kwokunge wautengesa, mari yakanga isiri yako here? Chiiko chakaita kuti ufunge kuita chinhu chakadai? Hauna kureva nhema kuvanhu asi kuna Mwari.”
While you had it, was it not your property? and after you had given it in exchange, was it not still in your power? how has this purpose come into your mind? you have been false, not to men, but to God.
5 Ananiasi akati anzwa izvi, akawira pasi akabva afa. Uye kutya kukuru kwakabata vose vakanga vanzwa zvakanga zvaitika.
And at these words, Ananias went down on the earth, and his life went from him: and great fear came on all who were present.
6 Ipapo majaya akaswedera, akaputira muviri wake, akamutakura akaenda naye kunze vakandomuviga.
And the young men went and made ready his body, and took it out, and put it in the earth.
7 Shure kwamaawa anenge matatu mukadzi wake akasvikopinda, asingazivi zvakanga zvaitika.
And about three hours after, his wife, having no knowledge of what had taken place, came in.
8 Petro akamubvunza akati, “Ndiudze, uyu ndiwo here mutengo wamakawana, iwe naAnaniasi, pamunda?” Iye akati, “Hongu, ndiwoyu mutengo.”
And Peter said to her, Give me an answer: was this amount of money the price of the land? And she said, Yes, it was.
9 Petro akati kwaari, “Matenderana seiko kuti muedze Mweya waShe? Tarira! Tsoka dzamajaya aviga murume wako dziri pamukova, uye vachakutakura newewo.”
But Peter said to her, Why have you made an agreement together to be false to the Spirit of the Lord? See, the feet of the young men who have put the body of your husband in the earth, are at the door, and they will take you out.
10 Pakarepo akawira pasi, patsoka dzake akabva afa. Ipapo majaya akapinda uye akamuwana afa, akamutakura akaenda naye kunze akandomuviga parutivi pomurume wake.
And straight away she went down at his feet, and her life went from her: and the young men came in and saw her dead, and they took her out and put her in the earth with her husband.
11 Kutya kukuru kwakabata kereke yose navose vakanzwa zvinhu izvi.
Then great fear came on all the church and on all who had knowledge of these things.
12 Vapostori vakaita zviratidzo zvizhinji nezvishamiso pakati pavanhu. Uye vatendi vose vaiwanzosangana pamwe chete muBiravira raSoromoni.
Now a number of signs and wonders were done among the people by the hands of the Apostles; and they were all together in Solomon's covered way.
13 Hakuna munhu akatsunga kubatana navo kunyange zvazvo vakanga vachikudzwa zvikuru navanhu.
The others, in fear, kept back from joining them: but the people made much of them;
14 Zvisinei zvazvo, varume vazhinji navakadzi vakatenda kuna She uye vakawedzera uwandu.
And a great number of men and women had faith, and were joined to the Lord;
15 Nokuda kwaizvozvo, vanhu vakauya navairwara munzira dzomumisha vakavaradzika pamibhedha napahukwe vachiitira kuti mumvuri waPetro uwire pane vamwe vavo paainge ava kupfuura napavari.
And they even took into the streets people who were ill, and put them on beds, so that when Peter went by, some of them might be in his shade.
16 Vanhu vazhinji zhinji vaibva mumaguta akapoteredza Jerusarema vakaunganawo, vakauya navarwere vavo navaya vaitambudzwa nemweya yakaipa, uye vose vakaporeswa.
And numbers of people came together from the towns round about Jerusalem, with those who were ill and those who were troubled with unclean spirits: and they were all made well.
17 Ipapo muprista mukuru navamwe vose vaaiva navo, avo vakanga vari nhengo dzebato ravaSadhusi, vakazadzwa negodo.
But the high priest and those who were with him (the Sadducees) were full of envy,
18 Vakasunga vapostori vakavaisa mujeri.
And they took the Apostles and put them in the common prison.
19 Asi mutumwa waShe akauya usiku akazarura mukova wejeri akavabudisa,
But in the night an angel of the Lord, opening the doors of the prison, took them out and said,
20 akati, “Endai, mundomira muzvivanze zvetemberi, mugoudza vanhu mashoko ose oupenyu hutsva uhu.”
Go, take your place in the Temple and give the people all the teaching about this Life.
21 Vakapinda mutemberi mangwanani, sezvavakanga vaudzwa, vakatanga kudzidzisa vanhu. Muprista mukuru navamwe vake vakati vasvika, vakaunganidza Dare Guru ramakurukota, ungano yose yavakuru, vakatumira vanhu kuti vandotora vapostori kujeri.
And hearing this, they went into the Temple at dawn, and were teaching. But the high priest and those who were with him got together the Sanhedrin and the representatives of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to get them.
22 Asi vabati vakati vasvika pajeri, vakawana vasimo. Saka vakadzokera vakasvikoti,
But the men who were sent saw that they were not in the prison, and came back with the news,
23 “Tawana jeri rakanyatsozarirwa, navarindi vamire pamikova; asi patazarura, hatina kuwana munhu mukati.”
Saying, The doors of the prison were safely shut, and the keepers were at the doors, but when they were open, there was nobody inside.
24 Vakati vanzwa chiziviso ichi, mukuru wavarindi vetemberi navaprista vakuru vakakanganisika, vachishaya kuti chii chaizoitika.
Now, at these words, the captain of the Temple and the chief priests were greatly troubled about what might be the end of this business.
25 Ipapo mumwe akasvika akati, “Tarirai! Varume vamakaisa mujeri vamire mutemberi vachidzidzisa vanhu.”
And someone came and said to them, The men, whom you put in prison, are in the Temple teaching the people.
26 Paakazvinzwa, mukuru wavarindi akabva aenda navabati vake akandouya navapostori. Havana kuzviita nokumanikidza, nokuti vaitya kuti vanhu vangavatake namabwe.
Then the captain and some of the police went and took them, but not violently, for fear that they might be stoned by the people.
27 Vakati vauya navapostori, vakavamisa pamberi peDare Guru kuti vabvunzwe nomuprista mukuru.
And they took them into the Sanhedrin, and the high priest said to them,
28 Akati, “Takakurayirai zvakasimba kuti murege kudzidzisa muzita iri. Asi mazadza Jerusarema rose nedzidziso yenyu uye munoda kuti tive nemhosva yeropa romurume uyu.”
We gave you very clear orders not to give teaching in this name: and now Jerusalem is full of your teaching, and you are attempting to make us responsible for this man's death.
29 Petro navamwe vapostori vakapindura vachiti, “Tinofanira kuteerera Mwari kukunda vanhu!
But Peter and the Apostles, answering, said, We have to do the orders of God, not of man.
30 Mwari wamadzibaba edu akamutsa Jesu kubva kuvakafa uyo wamakaita kuti aurayiwe nokumuturika pamuti.
The God of our fathers gave Jesus back to life, whom you had put to death, hanging him on a tree.
31 Mwari akamusimudzira kuruoko rwake rworudyi soMuchinda noMuponesi kuti ape kutendeuka nokuregererwa kwezvivi kuvaIsraeri.
Him God has put on high at his right hand, as a Ruler and a Saviour, to give to Israel a change of heart and forgiveness of sins.
32 Isu tiri zvapupu zvezvinhu izvi, uyewo noMweya Mutsvene wakapiwa naMwari kuna avo vanomuteerera.”
And we are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who keep his laws.
33 Vakati vanzwa izvi, vakashatirwa uye vakada kuvauraya.
But when these words came to their ears, they were cut to the heart, and had a mind to put them to death.
34 Asi mumwe muFarisi ainzi Gamarieri, mudzidzisi womurayiro, uyo aikudzwa navanhu vose, akasimuka pakati pedare akarayira kuti vanhu vambobudiswa panze kwechinguvana.
But one of the Sanhedrin, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a man of learning in the law, of whom all the people had a high opinion, got up and made a suggestion for the men to be put outside for a little time.
35 Ipapo akati kwavari, “Imi varume veIsraeri, nyatsofungai pamusoro pezvamuri kuda kuita kuvanhu ava.
And he said to them, Men of Israel, take care what you do about these men.
36 Munguva yakapfuura, kwakambova naTudhasi aizviti iye munhu mukuru, uye varume vanenge mazana mana vakamutevera. Akaurayiwa, vose vaimutevera vakaparadzirwa, uye zvikaguma zvava pasina.
For before this there was Theudas, who said he was someone important, to whom about four hundred men gave their support: he was put to death, and his band was broken up and came to nothing.
37 Shure kwake, Judhasi weGarirea akambovapowo pamazuva okuverengwa kwavanhu akatungamirira boka ravanhu mune zvokupanduka. Naiyewo akaurayiwa, uye vose vaimutevera vakaparadzirwa.
After this man, there was Judas of Galilee, at the time of the numbering, and some of the people went after him: he was put to death, and all his supporters were put to flight.
38 Naizvozvo, panyaya iyi ndinokurayirai kuti: Regai vanhu ava vakadaro! Regai vaende! Nokuti kana kufunga kwavo kuri kwomunhu, kuchaguma.
And now I say to you, Do nothing to these men, but let them be: for if this teaching or this work is of men, it will come to nothing:
39 Asi kana kuchibva kuna Mwari, hamungagoni kukonesa vanhu ava; muchazoona kuti muri kurwa naMwari.”
But if it is of God, you will not be able to overcome them, and you are in danger of fighting against God.
40 Kutaura kwake kwakavadzikamisa. Vakadana vapostori kuti vapinde vakaita kuti varohwe. Ipapo vakavarayira kuti varege kutaura muzita raJesu, uye vakavaregedza.
And he seemed to them to be right: and they sent for the Apostles, and, after having them whipped and giving them orders to give no teaching in the name of Jesus, they let them go.
41 Vapostori vakabva paDare Guru, vachifara nokuda kwokuti vakanga vanzi vakafanira kutambudzwa nokunyadziswa nokuda kweZita iri.
So they went away from the Sanhedrin, happy to undergo shame for the Name.
42 Zuva rimwe nerimwe havana kumborega kudzidzisa nokuparidza shoko rakanaka vari mutemberi nomudzimba nedzimba kuti Jesu ndiye Kristu.
And every day, in the Temple and privately, they went on teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ.
