Zvino pakereke yapaAntiokia paiva navaporofita navadzidzisi, vaiti: Bharnabhasi naSimeoni, wainzi Nigeri, naRukio weKurini, naManaeni wakanga arerwa pamwe chete naHerodhe mubati, naSauro.Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
Vakati vachishumira Ishe, nokuzvinyima zvokudya, Mweya Mutsvene akati: Nditsaurirei Barnabhasi naSauro kubata basa randakavadanira.As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.
Ipapo vakazvinyima zvokudya, vakanyengetera, vakaisa mavoko pamusoro pavo, ndokuvaendisa.And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
Naizvozvo vakati vatumwa noMweya Mutsvene, vakaburukira Serukia; vakabvapo vakaenda Kupro nechikepe.So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
Vachisvika paSarami, vakaparidza shoko raMwari mumasinagoge avaJudha. Vakanga vanaJohane vo, waiva mubatsiri wavo.And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister.
Vakati vagura chiwi chose kusvikira paPafosi, vakawana imwe n’anga, waiva muporofita wenhema, muJudha, zita rake rainzi Bari-Jesu.And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus:
Waigara pamubati wenyika, wainzi Sergio Pauro, munhu wakachenjera. Iye ndokudana Bharnabhasi naSauro, achitsvaka kunzwa shoko raMwari.Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.
Asi n’anga iyo Erimasi (nokuti ndiro zita rake, kana richishandurwa), akavadzivisa, achitsvaka kutsausa mubati pakutenda.But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.
Asi Sauro (ndiye Pauro vo), azere noMweya Mutsvene, akamutarisisa, akati:Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,
Iwe, uzere nokunyengera kwose namano akaipa ose, mwanakomana waDhiabhorosi, muvengi wokururama kwose, hauregi here kutsausa nzira dzakarurama dzaShe?And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
Zvino, tarira, ruvoko rwaShe ruri pamusoro pako; uchava bofu, uchaita nguva usingavoni zuva. Pakarepo mhute nerima zvikamuwira; akapota-pota, achitsvaka vangamusesedza noruvoko.And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.
Zvino mubati wakati achivona zvaitika, akatenda, akashamiswa nedzidziso yaShe.Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.
Zvino Pauro navaiva naye, vakabva Pafosi, ndokusvika Perga muPamfiria; Johane akabva kwavari, ndokudzokera Jerusarema.Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.
Asi ivo vakabva Perga, vakasvika Antiokia paPisidia; vakapinda musinagoge nezuva resabata, ndokugara pasi.But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.
Zvino murairo navaporofita zvakati zvarabwa, vabati vesinagoge vakatuma shoko kwavari, vachiti: Varume, hama, kana muneshoko rokuvaraidza vanhu, taurai henyu.And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.
Ipapo Pauro akasimuka, akavaninira noruvoko, akati: Varume vaIsraeri, nemi munotya Mwari, tererai:Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.
Mwari wavanhu ava vaIsraeri wakasanangura madzibaba edu, akakudza vanhu ava, vachiri vatorwa munyika yeIjipiti; akavabudisa mairi noruvoko runesimba,The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought he them out of it.
akava nomoyo murefu namafambire avo murenje makore anenge makumi mana,And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness.
akaparadza marudzi manomwe munyika yeKanani, akavagovera nyika yavo nemijenya, ive nhaka yavo makore anenge mazana mana namakumi mashanu.And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot.
Shure kwaizvozvo akavapa vatongi kusvikira kumuporofita Samueri.And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.
Pashure vakakumbira mambo; Mwari akavapa Sauro, mwanakaomana waKisi, murume worudzi rwaBenjamini, makore makumi mana.And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.
Akamubvisa akamutsa Dhavhidhi, kuti ave mambo wavo, waakapupura achiti: Ndawana Dhavhidhi, mwanakomana waJese murume womoyo wangu, uchaita kuda kwangu kwose.And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.
Parudzi rwaiyeyo, Mwari akamutsira vaIsraeri Muponesi Jesu, se zvaakanga avapikira;Of this man’s seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:
iye asati asvika, Johane akamboparidzira vanhu vaIsraeri rubhabhatidzo rwokutendevuka.When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
Zvino Johane wakati opedzisa basa rake, akati: Munoti, ndini aniko? Handizi iye. Asi tarirai, shure kwangu mumwe unovuya, wandisakafanira kuti ndisunungure shangu dzetsoka dzake.And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.
Varume, hama, vana vorudzi rwaAbhurahamu, navari pakati penyu vanotya Mwari, shoko roruponeso urwu rakatitumirwa isu.Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.
Nokuti vaigara Jerusarema navabati vavo, zvavakanga vasingamuzivi iye, kana manzwi avaporofita, anorabwa sabata rimwe nerimwe vakaazadzisa pakumupa mhaka kwavo.For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.
Kunyange vasina kuwana mhosva yorufu kwaari, vakakumbira kunaPirato kuti avurawe.And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.
Zvino vakati vapedza zvose zvakanyorwa pamusoro pake, vakamuturura pamuti, vakamuviga mubwiro.And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.
Asi Mwari wakamumutsa kuvakafa.But God raised him from the dead:
Akavonekwa mazuva mazhinji navakanga vakwira naye Jerusarema, vachibva Garirea, avo vari zvapupu zvake zvino kuvanhu.And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.
zvino tinokuparidzirai mashoko emufaro kuti chipikirwa chakaitwa kumadzibaba edu.And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,
Kuti Mwari wakachizadzisa kwatiri isu vana vavo pakuti wakasimudzazve Jesu sezvazvakanyorwa mupisarema rechipiri ndiwe mwanakomana wangu nhasi ndakubereka.God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
Zvino zvaanoti wakamumutsa kuvakafa kuti asazodzokerazve kukuvora wakareva kudai ndichakupai mikomborera mitsvene inotendwa yaDhavhidhi.And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.
Nokuti unoreva panerimwe Pisarema, achiti: Hamungaisi Mutsvene wenyu kuti avone kuvora.Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
Nokuti Dhavhidhi wakati aita kuda kwaMwari parudzi rwake, akavata rufu, akavigwa kunamadzibaba ake, akavona kuvora.For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:
Asi uyu, wakamutswa naMwari haana kuvora.But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.
Naizvozvo varume, hama, muzive imi, kuti kanganwiro yezvivi noyuyu inokuparidzirwai imi.Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
Noyuyu, mumwe nomumwe unotenda, unoruramiswa pazvose, zvamakanga musingagoni kururamiswa pazviri nomurairo waMosesi.And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
Naizvozvo chenjerai, kuti murege kuwirwa nezvakarebwa navaporofita, zvinoti:Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;
Tarirai, imi vazvidzi, mushamiswe, muparare; Nokuti ndinobata basa pamazuva enyu, Basa ramucharamba kutongotenda, kana muchizvivudzwa nomunhu.Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.
Zvino vakati vachibuda musinagoge, vakakumbira zvikuru kuti vaparidzirwe zve mashoko iwayo nesabata rinotevera.And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.
Zvino vesinagoge vakati vapararira, vaJudha vazhinji navaproserite vainamata Mwari, vakatevera Pauro naBharnabhasi; ivo vakataurirana navo, vakavaraira kuti varambire panyasha dzaMwari.Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
Nesabata rakatevera guta rinenge rose. Rakavungana kuzonzwa shoko raMwari.And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.
Zvino vaJudha vakati vachivona vanhu vazhinji, vakazara negodo, vakaramba zvakarebwa naPauro, vachimhura Mwari.But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.
Ipapo Pauro, naBharnabhasi vakataura vasingatyi, vakati: Zvakanga zvakafanira kuti shoko raMwari ritange kutaurirwa imi, asi zvamariramba, muchiti, hamufanirwi novupenyu bwusingaperi, tarirai, zvino toenda kuvahedheni.Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.
Nokuti Ishe wakatiraira saizvozvo, achiti: Ndakakuisa kuti uve chiedza chavahedheni, Kuti uve ruponeso kusvikira kumugumo wenyika.For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.
Zvino vahedheni vakati vachinzwa izvozvo, vakafara, vakakudza shoko raShe; navose vakanga vatarirwa vupenyu bwusingaperi vakatenda.And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.
Shoko raShe rikaparidzirwa kunyika yose.And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.
Asi vaJudha vakakurudzira vakadzi vainamata Mwari, vaikudzwa, navakuru veguta; vakamutsira Pauro naBharnabhasi dambudziko, vakavadzinga munyika yavo.But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.
Asi ivo vakazuza guruva patsoka dzavo, vakaenda Ikonio.But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium.
Vadzidzi vakaramba vachizadzwa nomufaro noMweya Mutsvene.And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.
