Na rĩrĩ, mũraika wa Mwathani akĩĩra Filipu atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ werekeire gũthini, ũkinye njĩra-inĩ, njĩra ĩrĩa ya werũ-inĩ, ĩrĩa ĩikũrũkĩte kuuma Jerusalemu ĩgathiĩ nginya Gaza.”

Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akiumagara, na arĩ njĩra-inĩ agĩcemania na Mũhabashi warĩ mũhakũre, mũndũ mũnene warĩ igweta ũrĩa warũgamĩrĩire kĩgĩĩna gĩa Kandake, mũthamaki-mũndũ-wa-nja wa Ahabashi. Mũndũ ũyũ aathiĩte Jerusalemu kũhooya Ngai;
28 uye pakudzoka kwake kumusha akanga agere mungoro achiverenga bhuku raIsaya muprofita.
na arĩ njĩra-inĩ akĩinũka, aaikarĩte ngaari-inĩ yake ya mbarathi agĩthoma ibuku rĩa Isaia ũrĩa mũnabii.
29 Mweya Mutsvene akati kuna Firipi, “Enda kungoro iyo, uswedere pedyo nayo.”
Roho akĩĩra Filipu atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ ngaari-inĩ ĩĩrĩa ya mbarathi ũikare hakuhĩ nayo.”
30 Ipapo Firipi akamhanya achienda kungoro akanzwa murume uya achiverenga kubva kuna Isaya muprofita. Firipi akati kwaari, “Uri kunzwisisa zvauri kuverenga here?”
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Filipu akĩhanyũka nginya ngaari-inĩ ĩyo ya mbarathi, akĩigua mũndũ ũcio agĩthoma ibuku rĩa Isaia ũrĩa mũnabii, akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩũrataũkĩrwo nĩ ũhoro ũcio ũrathoma?”
31 Iye akati, “Ndinganzwisisa seiko kana pasina munhu anonditsanangurira?” Saka akadana Firipi kuti akwire mungoro agare nayemo.
Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ingĩtaũkĩrwo atĩa, tiga hagĩire mũndũ wa kũndaarĩria?” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩĩra Filipu ahaice ngaari ĩyo ya mbarathi, aikaranie nake.
32 Muyunaki uyu aiverenga chitsauko ichi choRugwaro: “Akatungamirirwa segwai raindobayiwa, uye segwayana rinyerere pamberi pomuveuri, saka haana kushamisa muromo wake.
Mũndũ ũcio warĩ mũhakũre aathomaga gacunjĩ gaka ka Maandĩko: “Aatwarirwo o ta ngʼondu gĩthĩnjĩro-inĩ, na o ta ũrĩa gatũrũme gakiraga ki karĩ mbere ya mũndũ ũrĩa ũrakenja guoya, noguo o nake ataatumũrire kanua gake.
33 Mukuninipiswa kwake akashayiwa kururamisirwa. Ndianiko angataura nezvezvizvarwa zvake? Nokuti upenyu hwake hwakabviswa panyika.”
Nĩaconorithirio na ndaigana gũtuĩrwo ciira na kĩhooto. Nũũ ũngĩaria ũhoro wa njiaro ciake? Nĩgũkorwo muoyo wake nĩwehererio ũkiuma gũkũ thĩ.”
34 Muyunaki uyu akabvunza Firipi akati, “Ndapota, ndiudze, muprofita ari kutaura pamusoro paaniko, anozvireva iye kana mumwe munhuwo?”
Mũndũ ũcio mũhakũre akĩũria Filipu atĩrĩ, “Ndagũthaitha, ta njĩĩra atĩrĩ, mũnabii araaria ũhoro wa ũ, nĩ ũhoro wake we mwene kana nĩ ũhoro wa mũndũ ũngĩ?”
35 Ipapo Firipi akatanga nechitsauko ichocho choRugwaro akamuparidzira vhangeri raJesu.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Filipu akĩrutia ũhoro hau, akĩmũhe Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega ũkoniĩ Jesũ.
36 Zvavakanga vachifamba nomugwagwa, vakasvika pakanga pane mvura saka muyunaki akati, “Tarirai, heino mvura. Chingandikonesa kubhabhatidzwa chiiko?”
Na marĩ njĩra-inĩ magĩthiĩ-rĩ, magĩkinya handũ haarĩ na maaĩ, nake mũndũ ũcio warĩ mũhakũre akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ta rora, maaĩ nĩmo maya. Nĩ kĩĩ kĩngĩgiria mbatithio?”
37 Uye Firipi akati, “Kana uchitenda nomwoyo wako wose, zvinogoneka.” Iye akapindura akati, “Ndinotenda kuti Jesu Kristu ndiye Mwanakomana waMwari.”
(Nake Filipu akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũngĩĩtĩkia na ngoro yaku yothe, no ũbatithio.” Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩnjĩtĩkĩtie atĩ Jesũ Kristũ nĩwe Mũrũ wa Ngai.)”
38 Akarayira kuti ngoro imiswe. Ipapo vose vari vaviri, Firipi nomuyunaki vakapinda mumvura, Firipi akamubhabhatidza.
Nake agĩathana ngaari ĩyo ya mbarathi ĩrũgame. Hĩndĩ ĩyo Filipu na mũndũ ũcio mũhakũre magĩikũrũka, magĩtoonya maaĩ-inĩ, nake Filipu akĩmũbatithia.
39 Vakati vabuda mumvura, Mweya waShe wakatora Firipi pakarepo, uye muyunaki haana kuzomuonazve, asi akafamba munzira yake achifara kwazvo.
Na rĩrĩa moimĩrire maaĩ-inĩ, Roho wa Mwathani o rĩmwe akĩoya Filipu, akĩmweheria, nake mũndũ ũcio mũhakũre akĩaga kũmuona rĩngĩ, no agĩthiĩ na mbere na rũgendo akenete.
40 Zvakadaro hazvo, Firipi akazoonekwa paAzotasi uye akafamba achiparidza vhangeri mumaguta ose kusvikira asvika kuKesaria.
No Filipu nĩonekanire Azota, na agĩthiĩ akĩhunjagia Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega matũũra-inĩ mothe nginya agĩkinya Kaisarea.
