Mabasa 14
1 Zvino zvakaitika paIkonio, vakapinda pamwe musinagoge reVaJudha, vakataura kudai zvekuti chaunga chikuru cheVaJudha necheVaGirikiwo chakatenda.
It happened in Iconium that they entered together into the Jewish synagogue, and so spoke that a great number of both of Jews and of Greeks believed.
2 Asi VaJudha vasingatendi vakamutsa nekuipisa moyo yevahedheni kuvapesanisa nehama.
But the disbelieving Jews stirred up and embittered the souls of the non-Jewish people against the brothers.
3 Naizvozvo vakagara nguva refu vachitaura vakashinga muna Ishe anopupurira shoko renyasha dzake, uye anovapa kuti kuitwe zviratidzo nezvishamiso nemaoko avo.
Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who testified to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
4 Asi chaunga cheguta chakakamurwa; vamwe ndokuva neVaJudha, vamwewo nevaapositori.
But the population of the city was divided. Some sided with the Jews, and some with the apostles.
5 Zvino kwakati kwava nekushushwa kwevahedheni nekweVaJudhawo nevatungamiriri vavo, kuvabata zvakaipa nekuvataka nemabwe,
When some of both the non-Jewish people and the Jews, with their rulers, made a violent attempt to mistreat and stone them,
6 vakati vazviziva, vakatizira kumaguta eRikaonia, Ristra neDhebhe, nekudunhu rakapoteredza;
they became aware of it, and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, Derbe, and the surrounding region.
7 neipapo vakaparidza evhangeri.
There they preached the Good News.
8 Zvino paRistra paigara umwe murume wakange asina simba patsoka, ari chirema kubva padumbu ramai vake, asina kutongofamba.
At Lystra a certain man sat, without strength in his feet, a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked.
9 Uyu wakanzwa Pauro achitaura; iye akamutarisisa, akaona kuti ane rutendo kuti aporeswe,
He was listening to Paul speaking, who, fastening eyes on him, and seeing that he had faith to be made whole,
10 akati nenzwi guru: Simuka, uti tasa netsoka dzako. Zvino akakwakuka akafamba.
said with a loud voice, "Stand upright on your feet." He leaped up and walked.
11 Zvino zvaunga, zvakati zvaona Pauro zvaakange aita, zvakasimudza manzwi azvo zvichiti nechiRikaonia: Vamwari vaburukira kwatiri vakafanana nevanhu.
When the crowd saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, saying in the language of Lycaonia, "The gods have come down to us in human form."
12 Bhanabhasi vakamutumidzawo Zeusi, naPauro Herimesi, nokuti ndiye waiva mutungamiriri wekutaura.
They called Bar-Naba "Jupiter," and Paul "Mercury," because he was the chief speaker.
13 Zvino mupristi waZeusi waiva pamberi peguta ravo, wakauisa nzombe nezvishongo pamisuwo, achida kubaira pamwe nezvaunga.
The priest of Jupiter, whose temple was in front of their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and would have made a sacrifice along with the crowds.
14 Asi vaapositori Bhanabhasi naPauro vakati vanzwa, vakabvarura nguvo dzavo, vakamhanyira pakati pechaunga, vachidanidzira,
But when the apostles, Bar-Naba and Paul, heard of it, they tore their clothes, and sprang into the crowd, crying out,
15 ndokuti: Varume, munoitirei zvinhu izvi? Isuwo tiri vanhu vane manzwiro mamwe nemwi, tinokuparidzirai mashoko akanaka kuti pane izvozvi zvisina maturo mutendeukire kuna Mwari mupenyu, wakaita denga nenyika negungwa nezvinhu zvese zviri mazviri.
"Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to the living God, who made the sky and the earth and the sea, and all that is in them;
16 Iye pamazera akapfuura wakatendera vahedheni vese kufamba nenzira dzavo.
who in the generations gone by allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways.
17 Zvakadaro haana kuzvisiya asina uchapupu, pakuti wakaita zvakanaka akatipa mvura kubva kudenga nenguva dzezvibereko, achizadza moyo yedu nekudya nemufaro.
Yet he did not leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you rains from the sky and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness."
18 Zvino vachitaura zvinhu izvi, zvairema kugumisa zvaunga kuti vasabaira kwavari.
Even saying these things, they hardly stopped the crowds from making a sacrifice to them.
19 Asi kwakasvika VaJudha vakabva Andiyokiya neIkonio, vanyengetedza zvaunga, zvino vataka Pauro nemabwe, vakamukwevera kunze kweguta, vachifunga kuti wafa.
But some Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there, and having persuaded the crowds, they stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.
20 Asi vadzidzi vakati vamukomba, akasimuka akapinda muguta; zvino chifume akabuda naBhanabhasi akaenda kuDhebhe.
But as the disciples stood around him, he rose up, and entered into the city. On the next day he went out with Bar-Naba to Derbe.
21 Vakati vaparidzawo evhangeri kuguta iro, uye vaita vazhinji vadzidzi, vakadzokera kuRistra neIkonio neAndiyokiya,
When they had preached the Good News to that city, and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,
22 vachisimbisa mweya yevadzidzi, vachivakurudzira kurambira parutendo, uye kuti tinofanira kupinda muushe hwaMwari nemumatambudziko mazhinji.
confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must enter into the Kingdom of God.
23 Zvino vakati vavagadzira vakuru pakereke imwe neimwe, vanyengetera nekutsanya, vakavakumikidza kuna Ishe, wavaitenda kwaari.
When they had appointed elders for them in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they had believed.
24 Zvino vakati vagura nePisidhiya vakasvika Pamufiriya.
They passed through Pisidia, and came to Pamphylia.
25 Uye vakati vaparidza shoko paPega, vakaburukira Ataria;
When they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.
26 vakabvapo nechikepe vakaenda kuAndiyokiya, apo pavakange vakumikidzwa munyasha dzaMwari pabasa ravakange vapedzisa.
From there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.
27 Vakatiwo vasvika vakaunganidza kereke, vakarondedzera zvese Mwari zvaakange aita navo, uye kuti wakange azarurira vahedheni mukova werutendo.
When they had arrived, and had gathered the church together, they reported all the things that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith to the nations.
28 Ipapo vakagara nguva isati iri pfupi nevadzidzi.
And they stayed with the disciples a long time.
