Mabasa 2

¹Zvino zuva rePentekosta rakati rasvika, vakanga vakavungana vose nomoyo mumwe panzvimbo imwe.And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

²Pakarepo kutinhira sokwemhepo inovhuvhuta nesimba kwakabva kudenga, kukazadza imba yose mavakanga vagere.And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

³Vakavona vo ndimi dzichiparadzana, dzinenge dzomoto; ndokumhara pamusoro womumwe nomumwe wavo.And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

⁴Vose vakazadzwa noMweya Mutsvene, vakatanga kutaura nedzimwe ndimi, pavakapiwa napo noMweya kureva.And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

⁵Zvino paJerusarema pakanga pagere vaJudha, varume vakarurama, vaibva kumarudzi ose pasi pedenga.And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.

⁶Zvino kutinhira uku kwakati kwanzvika, vanhu vazhinji vakavungana, vakakanganiswa, nokuti mumwe nomumwe wakavanzwa, vachitaura norurimi rwake.Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.

⁷Vakakatyamara vose, vakataura mumwe kunomumwe, vachiti: Tarirai, ava vose vanotaura havazi vaGarirea here?And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?

⁸Zvino tinogovanzwa seiko mumwe nomumwe norurimi rwedu, rwatakaberekwa narwo?And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?

⁹VaPartia, navaMedia, neJudhea, neKapadokia, naPonto, neAsia,Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,

¹⁰neFrigia, nePamfiria, neIjipiti, namativi enyika dzeRibia, dziri pedo neKurine, navaeni vabva Roma, navaJudha, navaproseraite,Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,

¹¹navaKrete, navaArAbhiya, tinovanzwa vachitaura nendimi dzedu mabasa anoshamisa aMwari.Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.

¹²Vakakatyamara vose, vakakanganiswa, ndokutaurirana, vachiti: Izvi zvinoti kudiniko?And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?

¹³Asi vamwe vakaseka, vachiti: Vaguta waini itsva.Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.

¹⁴Zvino Petro amire navanegumi nomumwe, akadanidzira, akaparidza kwavari, achiti: Varume veJudhea, nemi mose mugere Jerusarema, chinhu ichi ngachizikanwe nemi, muterere mashoko angu,But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:

¹⁵nokuti ava havana kubatwa sezvamunofunga imi, zvaichiri nguva yechitanhatu yezuva,For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.

¹⁶asi ichi ndicho chakarebwa nomuporofita Joeri, achiti:But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;

¹⁷Mwari unoti: Namazuva okupedzisira, Ndichadurura zvoMweya wangu pamusoro penyama yose; Vanakomana venyu navanasikana venyu vachaporofita; Majaya enyu achavona zviratidzo, Navatana venyu vacharota hope.And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God,I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

¹⁸Napamusoro pavaranda vangu napamusoro pavashandiri vangu, Ndichadurura zvomweya wangu namazuva iwayo; vachaporofita.And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

¹⁹Ndichaita zvinoshamisa kudenga kumusoro, Nezviratidzo panyika pasi; Ropa, nomoto, nemhute yovutsi.And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:

²⁰Zuva richashandurwa rima, Nomwedzi uchashandurwa ropa. Zuva guru raShe rinobwinya risati rasvika.The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:

²¹Zvino kuchaitika kuti aninani unodana zita raShe uchaponeswa.And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

²²Varume vaIsraeri, donzwai mashoko awa: Jesu weNazareta, murume wakaratidzwa naMwari kwamuri namabasa esimba, nezvishamiso, nezviratidzo zvakaitwa naMwari pakati penyu naye, sezvamunoziva imi mumene;Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:

²³iye, wakaiswa kwamuri nomutemo nokuziva zviri mberi kwaMwari, imi makamutora namavoko akaipa mukamurovera pamuchinjikwa mukamuvuraya;Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:

²⁴iye wakamutswa naMwari, amusunungura pakurwadziwa kworufu; nokuti zvakanga zvisingabviri kuti abatwe narwo.Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.

²⁵Nokuti Dhavhidhi wakataura pamusoro pake, achiti: Ndakavona Ishe pamberi pangu misi yose. Nokuti uri kurudyi rwangu, kuti ndirege kuzununguswa.For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:

²⁶Naizvozvo moyo wangu wakafara, norurimi rwangu rwakafarisisa; Vuye zve, nenyama yangu ichazorora netariro.Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:

²⁷Nokuti hamungasiyi mweya wangu muHadhesi; Hamungatenderi Mutsvene wenyu kuti avone kuvora.Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

²⁸Makandizivisa nzira dzovupenyu; Muchandizadza nomufaro ndichivona chiso chenyu.Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.

²⁹Varume, hama, ndingakuvudzai pachena zvateteguru Dhavhidhi, kuti vakafa, vakavigwa, bwiro bwavo bwuri pakati pedu kusvikira nhasi.Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.

³⁰Zvino zvaakanga ari muporofita, achiziva vo kuti Mwari wakamupikira nemhiko kuti uchagadza pachigaro chake chovushe mumwe wezvibereko zvechivuno chake munyama uchasimudza Kristu kuti agare pachigaro chake chovushe.Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;

³¹zvaaivona zviri mberi, wakareva pamusoro pokumuka kwaKristu, kuti haana kusiyiwa paHadhesi, nenyama yake haina kuvona kuvora.He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.

³²Uyu Jesu wakamutswa naMwari, isu tiri zvapupu zvake tose.This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.

³³Zvino wakati asimudzirwa kurudyi rwaMwari, apiwa naBaba chipikirwa choMweya Mutsvene, akadurura izvi zvamunovona nezvamunonzwa ikozvino.Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.

³⁴Nokuti Dhavhidhi haana kukwira kudenga, asi unoti amene: Ishe wakati kunaShe wangu; Gara kurudyi rwangu,For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

³⁵Kusvikira ndichiita vavengi vako vave chitsiko chetsoka dzako.Until I make thy foes thy footstool.

³⁶Zvino imba yose yavaIsraeri ngaizive kwazvo, kuti uyu Jesu wamakarovera pamuchinjikwa, Mwari wakamuita Ishe naKristu.Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

³⁷Zvino vakati vachinzwa izvozvo, vakabayiwa pamoyo, vakati kunaPetro nokunavamwe vaapostora: Varume, hama, tichaiteiko?Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?

³⁸Petro akati kwavari: Tendevukai, mumwe nomumwe wenyu abhabhatidzwe nezita raJesu, kuti mukanganwirwe zvivi, mupiwe chipiwa choMweya Mutsvene.Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

³⁹Nokuti chipikirwa ndechenyu, navana venyu, navose vari kure, vanozodanwa naShe, Mwari wedu.For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

⁴⁰Akapupura kwazvo namamwe mashoko mazhinji, akavaraira, achiti: Muzviponese parudzi urwu rwakakombama.And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.

⁴¹Zvino avo vakagamuchira nomufaro shoko rake, vakabhabhatidzwa; nezuva iro vanhu vanenge zvuru zvitatu vakawedzera.Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

⁴²Vakatsungirira pakudzidzisa kwavaapostora, napakuyanana kwavo, napakumedura chingwa, napaminyengetero.And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

⁴³Vanhu vose vakabatwa nokutya; zvinoshamisa zvizhinji nezviratidzo zvakaitwa navaaapostora.And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.

⁴⁴Navaitenda vose vaiva pamwe chete, vakati zvinhu zvose ndezvavose;And all that believed were together, and had all things common;

⁴⁵vakatengesa fuma yavo nenhumbi, vakagovana navose, mumwe nomumwe paakashaiwa napo.And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.

⁴⁶Zuva rimwe nerimwe vakanga vachitsungirira mutembere nomoyo mumwe, vachimedura chingwa mudzimba dzavo, vachidya zvokudya zvavo nomufaro nomoyo wakanaka,And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,

⁴⁷vachirumbidza Mwari, vachidikanwa navanhu vose. Ishe akawedzera kukereke zuva rimwe nerimwe avo vaifanira kuponeswa.Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
