Mabasa 9
1 Zvichakadaro Sauro akanga ari mubishi rokutaura zvokuuraya vadzidzi vaShe. Akaenda kumuprista mukuru
But Saul, still breathing threats and slaughter against the talmidim of the Lord, went to the cohen hagadol,
2 akandomukumbira matsamba kuti agoenda nawo kumasinagoge okuDhamasiko, kuti kana akawana ani zvake ari weNzira iyo, vangava varume kana vakadzi, aizovabata savasungwa agoenda navo kuJerusarema.
and asked for letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
3 Akati oswedera kuDhamasiko ari parwendo rwake, pakarepo chiedza chakabva kudenga chikamupenyera kumativi ose.
As he traveled, it happened that he got close to Damascus, and suddenly a light from the sky shone around him.
4 Akawira pasi akanzwa inzwi richiti kwaari, “Sauro, Sauro, unonditambudzireiko?”
And he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?"
5 Sauro akabvunza akati, “Ndimi aniko, Ishe?” Iye akapindura akati, “Ndini Jesu wauri kutambudza.
And he said, "Who are you, Lord?" And he said, "I am Yeshua, whom you are persecuting.
6 Zvino simuka uende muguta, uchandoudzwa zvaunofanira kuita.”
But rise up, and enter into the city, and you will be told what you must do."
7 Varume vaifamba naSauro vakamira vakashaya chokutaura; vakanzwa inzwi asi havana kuona kana munhu.
The men who traveled with him stood speechless, hearing the sound, but seeing no one.
8 Sauro akasimuka, asi akati achisvinudza meso ake haana kugona kuona chinhu. Saka vakamubata ruoko vakamutungamirira kupinda muDhamasiko.
Saul arose from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could not see anything. They led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
9 Akava bofu kwamazuva matatu, uye akanga asingadyi kana kunwa kana chinhu.
He was without sight for three days, and neither ate nor drank.
10 MuDhamasiko makanga muno mudzidzi ainzi Ananiasi. Ishe akati kwaari muchiratidzo, “Ananiasi!” Iye akapindura akati, “Ndiri pano Ishe.”
Now there was a certain talmid at Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, "Ananias." And he said, "Look, it's me, Lord."
11 Ishe akati kwaari, “Enda kumba kwaJudhasi panzira inonzi Nzira Yakarurama undobvunza murume anonzi Sauro anobva kuTasasi, nokuti ari kunyengetera.
The Lord said to him, "Arise, and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judah for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus. For look, he is praying,
12 Akaona muchiratidzo murume anonzi Ananiasi achiuya kwaari akaisa maoko ake pamusoro pake kuti aonezve.”
and in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in, and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight."
13 Ananiasi akapindura akati, “Ishe, ndakanzwa mashoko akawanda pamusoro pomurume uyu, uye nezvakaipa zvose zvaakaitira vatsvene venyu muJerusarema.
But Ananias answered, "Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he did to your kadoshim at Jerusalem.
14 Uye akauya kuno nemvumo yakabva kuvaprista vakuru yokuti asunge vose vanodana kuzita renyu.”
Here he has authority from the chief cohanim to bind all who call on your name."
15 Asi Ishe akati kuna Ananiasi, “Enda! Murume uyu mudziyo wangu wandakasanangura kuti aende nezita rangu pamberi pevedzimwe ndudzi napamberi pamadzimambo avo uye napamberi paIsraeri.
But the Lord said to him, "Go your way, for he is my chosen vessel to bear my name before the nations and kings, and the children of Israel.
16 Ndichamuratidza kuti anofanira kutambudzika sei nokuda kwezita rangu.”
For I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name's sake."
17 Ipapo Ananiasi akaenda kuimba iyi akasvikopindamo. Akaisa maoko ake pamusoro paSauro akati, “Muzvarwa Sauro, Ishe Jesu, uyo akazviratidza kwauri pamugwagwa pawakanga uchiuya kuno, andituma kuti iwe uonezve uye uzadzwe noMweya Mutsvene.”
Ananias departed, and entered into the house. Laying his hands on him, he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me, that you may receive your sight, and be filled with the Ruach ha-Kodesh."
18 Pakarepo, zvinhu zvakaita samakwati zvakabva pameso aSauro, akagona kuonazve. Akasimuka akabhabhatidzwa,
Immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he received his sight. He arose and was immersed.
19 uye shure kwokunge adya zvokudya, akavazve nesimba. Sauro akagara navadzidzi paDhamasiko kwamazuva mazhinji.
He took food and was strengthened. He stayed several days with the talmidim who were at Damascus.
20 Pakarepo akatanga kuparidza musinagoge kuti Jesu ndiye Mwanakomana waMwari.
Immediately in the synagogues he proclaimed Yeshua, that he is the Son of God.
21 Vose vakamunzwa vakakatyamara vakati, “Ko, haazi iye here akamutsa bongozozo muJerusarema pakati paavo vanodana kuzita iri? Uye haana kuuya kuno kuzovabata savasungwa kuti avaendese kuvaprista vakuru here?”
All who heard him were amazed, and said, "Is not this he who in Jerusalem made havoc of those who called on this name? And he had come here intending to bring them bound before the chief cohanim."
22 Asi Sauro akanyanya kuva nesimba akakunda vaJudha vaigara muDhamasiko achivaratidza kuti Jesu ndiye Kristu.
But Saul increased more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived at Damascus, proving that this is the Messiah.
23 Mazuva mazhinji akati apera, vaJudha vakarangana kumuuraya,
When many days were fulfilled, the Jews conspired together to kill him,
24 asi Sauro akanzwa nezverangano yavo. Vakarinda masuo eguta masikati nousiku vachiitira kuti vagomuuraya.
but their plot became known to Saul. They watched the gates both day and night that they might kill him,
25 Asi vateveri vake vakamutora usiku vakamuburutsa ari mudengu napakanga pakashama murusvingo.
but his talmidim took him by night, and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.
26 Akati asvika kuJerusarema akaedza kuti abatane navadzidzi, asi vose vakanga vachimutya, vasingatendi kuti akanga ava mudzidzi wechokwadi.
When Saul had come to Jerusalem, he tried to join himself to the talmidim; but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a talmid.
27 Asi Bhanabhasi akamutora akamuuyisa kuvapostori. Akavaudza kuti Sauro akanga aona Ishe sei ari parwendo rwake uye kuti muDhamasiko Ishe akanga ataura kwaari, uyewo kuti akaparidza sei muzita raJesu asingatyi.
But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the emissaries, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Yeshua.
28 Saka Sauro akagara navo muJerusarema akasununguka, achitaura muzita raIshe uye akafamba asingatyi.
He was with them coming in and going out in Jerusalem, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord.
29 Akataura uye akapikisana navaJudha vaitaura chiGiriki, asi vakaedza kumuuraya.
He spoke and disputed against the Hellenists, but they were seeking to kill him.
30 Zvino hama dzakati dzazvinzwa izvi, dzakamutora dzikaburuka naye kuKesaria ndokumuendesa kuTasasi.
When the brothers knew it, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him off to Tarsus.
31 Ipapo kereke yakava norugare muJudhea mose, nomuGarirea neSamaria. Kereke yakasimbiswa; uye yakakurudzirwa naMweya Mutsvene, ikakura pauwandu, ichirarama mukutya Ishe.
So the congregation throughout all Judea and Galil and Samaria had peace, and were built up. They were multiplied, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Ruach ha-Kodesh.
32 Petro paakanga achifamba achipota nenyika, akashanyira vatsvene muRidha.
It happened, as Peter went throughout all those parts, he came down also to the kadoshim who lived at Lydda.
33 Ikoko, akawana mumwe murume ainzi Eniasi akanga akaoma mutezo uye akanga achigara avete panhoo kwamakore masere.
There he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden for eight years, because he was paralyzed.
34 Petro akati kwaari, “Eniasi, Jesu Kristu anokuporesa. Simuka uzvitakurire nhoo yako.” Pakarepo Eniasi akasimuka.
Peter said to him, "Aeneas, Yeshua the Messiah heals you. Get up and make your bed." Immediately he arose.
35 Vose vaigara muRidha nomuSharoni vakamuona vakatendeukira kuna She.
All who lived at Lydda and in Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.
36 MuJopa maiva nomudzidzi ainzi Tabhita (kana zvichishandurwa, Dhokasi), aiita zvakanaka nguva dzose uye achibatsira varombo.
Now there was at Joppa a certain talmid named Tabitha (which when translated, means Dorcas). This woman was full of good works and tzedakah which she did.
37 Panguva inenge iyoyo akatanga kurwara ndokubva afa, mutumbi wake ukashambidzwa uye ukaiswa muimba yapamusoro.
It happened in those days that she fell sick, and died. When they had washed her, they placed her in an upper chamber.
38 Ridha yakanga iri pedyo neJopa; saka vadzidzi vakati vanzwa kuti Petro akanga ari muRidha, vakatuma varume vaviri kwaari kuti vandomukumbira vachiti, “Tapota, uyai nokukurumidza!”
As Lydda was near Joppa, the talmidim, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, imploring him not to delay in coming to us.
39 Petro akaenda navo, uye akati asvika, vakamutora vakaenda naye muimba yapamusoro. Chirikadzi dzose dzakamira dzakamupoteredza, dzichichema dzichimuratidza majasi nedzimwe nguo dzakanga dzaitwa naDhokasi panguva yaakanga achinavo.
Peter got up and went with them. When he had come, they brought him into the upper chamber. All the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them.
40 Petro akavabudisa vose mumba; ipapo akapfugama namabvi ake akanyengetera. Akatendeukira kumukadzi akanga afa akati, “Tabhita, muka.” Iye akasvinura meso ake, uye akati aona Petro, akamuka akagara.
Peter put them all out, and kneeled down and prayed. Turning to the body, he said, "Tabitha, get up." She opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
41 Akamubata noruoko akamubatsira kuti amire netsoka dzake. Ipapo akadana vatendi nechirikadzi ndokubva amupa kwavari ari mupenyu.
He gave her his hand, and raised her up. Calling the kadoshim and widows, he presented her alive.
42 Izvi zvakazivikanwa muJopa yose, uye vanhu vazhinji vakatenda kuna She.
And it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
43 Petro akambogara muJopa kwechinguva nomusuki wamatehwe ainzi Simoni.
It happened, that he stayed many days in Joppa with one Shim'on, a tanner.
