Mabasa 3
1 Zvino Petro naJohwani vakakwira pamwe kuenda kutembere paawa rekunyengetera repfumbamwe.
Now Peter and John were going up into the temple at the hour of prayer, at three in the afternoon.
2 Zvino kwaitakurwa umwe murume waiva chirema kubva mudumbu ramai vake; wavaiisa zuva rimwe nerimwe pamusuwo wetembere unonzi Wakanaka, kuti akumbire chipo kune vaipinda mutembere.
A certain man who was lame from his mother's womb was being carried, whom they put daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask gifts for the needy of those who entered into the temple.
3 Iye wakati achiona Petro naJohwani voda kupinda mutembere, akakumbira chipo.
Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked to receive gifts for the needy.
4 Zvino Petro akamudzvokora anaJohwani, akati: Titarire!
Peter, fastening his eyes on him, with John, said, "Look at us."
5 Akavacherekedza, achitarisira kugamuchira chinhu kwavari.
He listened to them, expecting to receive something from them.
6 Petro ndokuti: Sirivheri negoridhe handina; asi icho chandinacho ndinokupa: Muzita raJesu Kristu muNazareta, simuka ufambe.
But Peter said, "Silver and gold have I none, but what I have, that I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazorean, get up and walk."
7 Akamubata ruoko rwerudyi akamusimudza; zvino pakarepo tsoka nezviziso zvetsoka dzake zvikasimbiswa.
He took him by the right hand, and raised him up. Immediately his feet and his ankle bones received strength.
8 Zvino akauruka akamira ndokufamba, ndokupinda navo mutembere, achifamba nekuuruka nekurumbidza Mwari.
Leaping up, he stood, and began to walk. He entered with them into the temple, walking, leaping, and praising God.
9 Uye vanhu vese vakamuona achifamba, nekurumbidza Mwari.
All the people saw him walking and praising God.
10 Vakamuziva kuti ndiye waigarira chipo pamukova Wakanaka wetembere; vakazadzwa nekushamisika nekukatyamara nezvakange zvaitika kwaari.
They recognized him, that it was he who used to sit begging for gifts for the needy at the Beautiful Gate of the temple. They were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.
11 Zvino waikamhina wakange aporeswa achakabatira Petro naJohwani, vanhu vese vakamhanyira pamwe kwavari paberere rinonzi raSoromoni, vachishamisika zvikuru.
And as he held on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.
12 Zvino Petro wakati achizviona akapindura kuvanhu achiti: Varume VaIsraeri, mashamisika sei pamusoro pezvizvi, kana munotidzvokora sei, sezvinonzi nesimba kana utsvene hwedu pachedu taita uyu kuti afambe?
When Peter saw it, he responded to the people, "You men of Israel, why are you amazed at this? Why do you fasten your eyes on us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made him walk?
13 Mwari waAbhurahama newaIsaka newaJakobho, Mwari wemadzibaba edu, wakudza Mwanakomana wake Jesu; wamakakumikidza imwi kuvatongi nekumuramba pamberi pechiso chaPirato, iye agura kumusunungura.
The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up, and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had determined to release him.
14 Asi imwi makaramba Mutsvene neWakarurama, mukakumbira murume mhondi kuti ipiwe kwamuri,
But you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a man who was a murderer to be granted to you,
15 mukauraya Muvambi weupenyu; iye Mwari waakamutsa kubva kuvakafa; zvatiri zvapupu zvazvo isu.
and killed the Originator of life, whom God raised from the dead, to which we are witnesses.
16 Uye nerutendo kuzita rake, uyu wamunoona uye wamunoziva, zita rake ramusimbisa; nerutendo rwuri nemaari rwamupa kuporeswa uku kwakazara pamberi penyu mese.
By faith in his name, his name has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which is through him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
17 Uye ikozvino, hama, ndinoziva kuti makaita nekusaziva, sevatongi venyuwo.
"Now, brothers, I know that you did this in ignorance, as did also your rulers.
18 Asi Mwari zvaakagara areva nemuromo wevaporofita vake vese, kuti Kristu achatambudzika, wakazvizadzisa saizvozvi.
But the things which God announced by the mouth of all his prophets, that the Christ should suffer, he thus fulfilled.
19 Naizvozvo tendeukai mudzoke, kuti zvivi zvenyu zvidzimwe, kuti nguva dzekufefeterwa dzinobva pachiso chaIshe dzisvike,
"Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, so that there may come times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord,
20 uye achatuma Jesu Kristu, wakagara aparidzirwa kwamuri;
and that he may send Jesus, the Christ who was ordained for you before,
21 wakafanira kuti denga rimugamuchire kusvikira nguva dzekuvandudzwa kwezvinhu zvese, Mwari dzaakareva nemuromo wevaporofita vake vatsvene vese kubva panguva dzakare. (aiōn g165)
whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God spoke long ago by the mouth of his holy prophets. (aiōn g165)
22 Nokuti Mozisi zvirokwazvo wakati kumadzibaba: Ishe Mwari wenyu achakumutsirai muporofita pahama dzenyu, wakaita seni; iye muchamuteerera pazvese zvaachataura kwamuri.
For Moses indeed said to the fathers, 'The Lord your God will raise up a prophet for you from among your brothers, like me. You must listen to him in all things whatever he says to you.
23 Uye zvichaitika, mweya umwe neumwe ucharega kuteerera muporofita uyo uchaparadzwa kubva pavanhu.
It will be, that every soul that will not listen to that prophet will be utterly destroyed from among the people.'
24 Uye nevaporofita vese kubva kuna Samueri nevakatevera, vese vakataura, vakagara vaparidzawo zvemazuva awa.
Yes, and all the prophets from Samuel and those who followed after, as many as have spoken, they also told of these days.
25 Imwi muri vana vevaporofita, nevesungano Mwari yaakaita nemadzibaba edu, achiti kuna Abhurahama: Nemumbeu yako marudzi ese enyika acharopafadzwa.
You are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, 'And through your offspring all the families of the earth will be blessed.'
26 Mwari amutsa Mwanakomana wake Jesu, wakamutuma kwamuri pakutanga kukuropafadzai, pakudzora umwe neumwe pazvakaipa zvenyu.
God, having raised up his Servant, sent him to you first, to bless you, in turning away everyone of you from your wickedness."
