Mabasa 5
1 Asi umwe murume wainzi Ananiasi, naSafira mukadzi wake, wakatengesa nhumbi dzake,
And a certain man whose name was Ananias, with his wife whose name was Sapphira, sold his field,
2 akazvisiira pamutengo, mukadzi wake achizivawo, akauya nechimwe chikamu, ndokuisa patsoka dzevaapositori.
and carried away part of the price and concealed it, his wife consenting; and he brought a part of the money, and laid it before the feet of the legates.
3 Asi Petro wakati: Ananiasi, Satani wazadzirei moyo wako kuti ureve nhema kuMweya Mutsvene, nekuzvisiira pamutengo wemunda?
And Simon said to him: Ananias, why hath Satan so filled thy heart, that thou shouldst lie against the Holy Spirit, and conceal of the money of the price of the field?
4 Uchiripo hauna kuramba uri wako here, watengeswa wakange usi musimba rako here? Sei waisa mumoyo mako chiito ichi? Hauna kureva nhema kuvanhu, asi kuna Mwari.
Was it not thine own before it was sold? And when sold, again thou hadst authority over the price of it. Why hast thou set thy heart to do this purpose? Thou hast not lied against men, but against God.
5 Zvino Ananiasi achinzwa mashoko awa, wakawira pasi, akapera; kutya kukuru ndokuwira pamusoro pevese vakanzwa zvinhu izvi.
And when Ananias heard these words, he fell down, and died. And great fear was upon all them that heard of it.
6 Nemajaya akasimuka akamuputira ndokutakurira kunze vakamuviga.
And the young men among them arose, and gathered him up, and carried him out, and buried him.
7 Zvino zvakaitika maawa anenge matatu apfuura, kuti mukadzi wake asingazivi zvaitika wakapinda.
And when three hours had passed, his wife also came in, without knowing what had occurred.
8 Petro ndokumupindura akati: Ndiudze kana matengesa munda nezvakadai? Ndokuti: Hongu, nezvakadai.
Simon said to her: Tell me, if ye sold the field for this price? And she said: Yes, for this price.
9 Petro ndokuti kwaari: Sei matenderana kuedza Mweya waIshe? Tarira, tsoka dzevaviga murume wako pamukova, newe vachakutakurira kunze.
Simon said to her: Since ye have been equals in tempting the Spirit of the Lord, lo, the feet of the buriers of thy husband are at the door, and they will carry thee out.
10 Ipapo akawira pasi pakarepo patsoka dzake, akapera; majaya akapinda akamuwana afa, akamutakurira kunze ndokuviga nechepamurume wake.
And immediately she fell before their feet, and died. And those young men came in, and found her dead; and they took up, carried forth, and buried her by the side of her husband.
11 Kutya kukuru ndokuwira pamusoro pekereke yese nepamusoro pevese vakanzwa zvinhu izvi.
And great fear was on all the assembly, and on all them that heard it.
12 Uye nemaoko evaapositori kwakaitwa zviratidzo nezvishamiso zvizhinji pakati pevanhu; uye vese vaiva nemoyo umwe muberere raSoromoni.
And there were many signs and prodigies wrought by the legates among the people. And they were all assembled together in the porch of Solomon.
13 Asi pavamwe kwakange kusina munhu wakashinga kuzvisanganisa kwavari; asi vanhu vaivakudza.
And of the others, no one ventured to come near them; but the people magnified them.
14 Uye vatendi vakanyanya kuwedzerwa kuna Ishe, zvaunga zvinoti zvevarume zvikati zvevakadzi.
And the more were those added who feared the Lord, a multitude both of men and of women.
15 Zvekuti vatakurira kunze varwere munzira dzemuguta, uye vakaradzika pamibhedha nepanhovo, kuti kana Petro achiuya, kunyange mumvuri udzikatire umwe wavo.
So that they brought out into the streets the sick, laid on beds, that when Simon should pass, at least his shadow might cover them.
16 Zvino kwakaunganawo chaunga chemaguta akapoteredza kuJerusarema, vachitakura varwere, nevaitambudzwa nemweya yetsvina, vakaporeswa vese.
And many came to them from other cities around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those who had unclean spirits; and they were all cured.
17 Zvino mupristi mukuru akasimuka, nevese vaiva naye vari sangano reVaSadhusi, vakazara negodo,
And the high priest was filled with indignation, and all those with him who were of the doctrine of the Sadducees.
18 vakaisa maoko avo pavaapositori vakavaisa mutirongo revanhu vese.
And they laid hands on the legates, and took and bound them in prison.
19 Asi mutumwa waIshe neusiku wakazarura mikova yetirongo akavabudisa akati:
Then the angel of the Lord, by night, opened the door of the prison, and let them out; and said to them:
20 Endai, mugomira muchitaura mutembere kuvanhu ese mashoko eupenyu uhu.
Go, stand in the temple, and speak to the people all these words of life.
21 Zvino vakati vanzwa, vakapinda mutembere mangwanani-ngwanani vakadzidzisa. Asi mupristi mukuru wakasvika nevaiva naye, vakakokera dare remakurukota pamwe neungano yese yedare revakuru revana vaIsraeri, vakatumira mapurisa kutirongo kuti vauiswe.
And in the morning, they went and entered into the temple, and taught. And the high priest and those with him, convoked their associates and the Elders of Israel, and sent to the prison to bring forth the legates.
22 Asi mapurisa akati achisvika, akasavawana mutirongo; akadzoka akapira shoko,
And when those sent by them went, they found them not in the prison; and they returned and came back,
23 achiti: Tirongo zvirokwazvo takawana rakavharwa nekuchengetedzwa kwese, nevarindi vamire panze pamberi pemikova; asi tati tazarura, mukati hatina kuwana munhu.
and said: We found the prison carefully closed, and also the keepers standing before the doors; and we opened, but found no one there.
24 Zvino mupristi nemutungamiriri wetembere nevapristi vakuru vakati vanzwa mashoko iwayo, vakasava nechokwadi pamusoro pavo, kuti izvi zvichazovei.
And when the chief priests and rulers of the temple heard these words, they were astonished at them; and they studied what this could mean.
25 Zvino kwakasvika umwe akavaudza achiti: Tarirai, varume vamakaisa mutirongo vamire mutembere vachidzidzisa vanhu.
And one came and informed them: Those men, whom ye shut up in the prison, lo, they are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.
26 Zvino mutungamiriri nemapurisa vakaenda vakauya navo kwete nesimba, nokuti vaitya vanhu kuti vasatakwa nemabwe.
Then went the rulers with attendants, to bring them without violence; for they feared, lest the people should stone them.
27 Vakati vavauisa vakavamisa pamberi pedare remakurukota. Mupristi mukuru ndokuvabvunza,
And when they had brought them, they placed them before the whole council; and the high priest began to say to them:
28 achiti: Hatina kukurairisai kuti musadzidzisa nezita iri here? Zvino tarirai, mazadza Jerusarema nedzidziso yenyu, uye muchishuva kuuisa ropa remunhu uyu pamusoro pedu.
Did we not strictly charge you, to teach no person in this name? And behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine; and ye would bring the blood of this man upon us.
29 Zvino Petro nevaapositori vakapindura vakati: Zvakafanira kuteerera Mwari kupfuura vanhu.
And Simon, with the legates, answered and said to them: God is to be obeyed, rather than men.
30 Mwari wemadzibaba edu wakamutsa Jesu, iye wamakauraya imwi, mukaremberedza pamuti.
The God of our fathers hath raised up that Jesus, whom ye slew when ye hanged him on a tree.
31 Iye uyu Mwari wakamusimudza neruoko rwake rwerudyi, ave Muvambi neMuponesi, kupa Israeri kutendeuka nekanganwiro yezvivi.
Him hath God established as a head and vivifier; and hath exalted him to his own right hand, so that he might give repentance and remission of sins to Israel.
32 Uye isu tiri zvapupu zvake zvezvinhu izvi, neMweya Mutsvenewo, Mwari waakapa avo vanomuteerera.
And we are the witnesses of these things; and also the Holy Spirit, whom God giveth to them that believe in him.
33 Zvino vakati vanzwa vakashatirwa kwazvo, vakarangana kuvauraya.
And when they heard these things, they burned with indignation, and thought of putting them to death.
34 Ipapo kukasimuka umwe padare remakurukota, muFarisi wainzi Gamarieri, mudzidzisi wemurairo, waikudzwa nevanhu vese, akaraira kuti vaapositori vabudiswe chinguva chidiki.
Then rose up one of the Pharisees whose name was Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, and honored by all the people; and he directed them to put the legates aside for a short time.
35 Ndokuti kwavari: Varume VaIsraeri, zvichenjererei maererano nevanhu ava, zvamoda kuita.
And he said, to them: Men, sons of Israel, take heed to yourselves, and consider what ye ought to do in regard to these men.
36 Nokuti mazuva ano asati asvika kwakamuka Tudhasi, achiti iye pachake wakange ari munhu, uwandu hwevanhu hunenge mazana mana vakazvisanganisa naye; iye wakaurawa, nevese vaimuteerera neuwandu hwavo vakaparadzirwa, vakava pasina.
For before this time, rose up Theudas, and said of himself, that he was some great one; and there went after him about four hundred men. And he was slain; and they who went after him, were dispersed and became as nothing.
37 Shure kweuyu kukamuka Judhasi muGarirea, pamazuva ekuverengwa, akakwevera vanhu vazhinji shure kwake; iyewo wakaparara, nevese vakamuteerera neuwandu hwavo vakaparadzirwa.
And after him, rose up Judas a Galilean, in the days when the people were enrolled for the capitation tax; and he seduced much people after him. And he died, and all they that went after him were dispersed.
38 Zvino ikozvino ndinoti kwamuri: Sudurukai kuvanhu ava, muvarege, nokuti kana zano iri kana basa iri riri revanhu, richaparadzwa.
And now, I say to you: Desist from these men, and let them lone. For if this device and this work originate from men, they will dissolve and come to nothing.
39 Asi kana zviri zvaMwari, hamugoni kuzviparadza; kuti zvimwe muwanikwe muchirwa naMwariwo.
But if it be from God, it is not in your power to frustrate it: that ye may not be found placing yourselves in opposition to God. And they, assented to him.
40 Vakamuteerera; uye vakati vadanira vaapositori kwavari vakavarova, vakavaraira kusataura muzita raJesu, vakavaregedza.
And they called the legates, and scourged them, and commanded them not to teach in the name of Jesus, and dismissed them.
41 Naizvozvo vakabva pazviso zvedare remakurukota, vachifara kuti vakafanirwa nekuzvidzwa nekuda kwezita rake.
And they went from before them, rejoicing that they were worthy to suffer abuse on account of that name.
42 Uye mazuva ese mutembere nepaimba imwe neimwe havana kumira kudzidzisa nekuparidza Jesu Kristu.
And they ceased not to teach daily, in the temple and at home, and to preach concerning our Lord Jesus Messiah.
