Zvino Pauro wakati achitarisisa kumakurukota, akati: Varume, hama, ini ndakafamba pamberi paMwari nehana yakarurama kusvikira zuva ranhasi.And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.
Ipapo Ananiasi, muPirisita mukuru, akaraira vakanga vamire naye kuti vamurove muromo.And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth.
Ipapo Pauro akati kwaari: Mwari uchakurova iwe, rusvingo rwakacheneswa; ugerepo kuti unditonge nomurairo, zvino woraira kuti ndirobwe, uchidarika murairo here?Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?
Vakanga vamirepo vakati: Ko unotuka muPirisita mukuru waMwari here?And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God’s high priest?
Pauro akati: Hama dzangu, ndakanga ndisingazivi kuti ndiye muPirisita mukuru; nokuti kwakanyorwa, kuchinzi: Usataura zvakaipa pamusoro pomubati wavanhu vako.Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.
Zvino Pauro wakati achivona kuti vamwe ndivaSadhuse navamwe vaFarise, akadanidzira mumakurukota, akati: Varume, hama, ini ndiri muFarise, mwanakomana wavaFarise, ndotongwa pamusoro petariro nokumuka kwavakafa.But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
Wakati adaro, kupesana kukavapo pakati pavaFarise navaSaduse; vungano ikaparadzana.And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided.
Nokuti vaSadhuse vaiti hapana kumuka kwavakafa, kana mutumwa, kana mweya; asi vaFarise vaitenda izvozvo zvose.For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
Zvino bope guru rikavapo; vamwe vanyori vokuvaFarise vakasimuka, vakaita nharo, vachiti: Ngatirege kugwa naMwari, hativoni chinhu chakaipa kumunhu uyu; zvimwe mweya wakataura naye, kana mutumwa.And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were of the Pharisees’ part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God.
Zvino kupesana kukuru kuchida kumuka, mutungamiri Mukuru akatya kuti Pauro ungabvamburwa navo, akaraira varwi kuti vaburuke, vamubvute pakati pavo, vamuise muimba yavarwi.And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle.
Vusiku; bwakatevera, Ishe akamira naye, akati: Tsunga moyo, sezvawakandipupurira kwazvo paJerusarema, unofanira kupupura paRoma vo.And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.
Zvino kwakati kwaedza, vaJudha vakaita rangano, vakazvisunga nokupika, vachiti, havangadyi kana kunwa kusvikira vavuraya Pauro.And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.
Vakanga vaita rangano iyo, vakapfuvura makumi mana.And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy.
Ava vakaenda kuvaPirisita vakuru navakuru, vakati: Tazvisunga nokupika kukuru, kuti hatingadyi chinhu, kusvikira tavuraya Pauro.And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul.
Naizvozvo zvino imi, namakurukota, mutaridzire mutungamiri mukuru, kuti amuburusire kwamuri mangwana, muchiita somunoda kunatso-bvunzisisa mhosva yake; isu tazvigadzira kuti timuvuraye, asati aswedera.Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye would enquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him.
Zvino mwanakomana wehanzvadzi yaPauro akanzwa zvokuvandira kwavo, akaenda, akapinda mumba mavarwi, akavudza Pauro.And when Paul’s sister’s son heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.
Ipapo Pauro akadana mumwe wavakuru vezana, akati: Isa jaya iri kumutungamiri Mukuru; nokuti uneshoko raanoda kumuvudza.Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing to tell him.
Naizvozvo akamutora, akaenda naye kumutungamiri Mukuru, akati: Pauro musungwa, wakandidana akakumbira, kuti ndivuye nejaya iri kwamuri; uneshoko raanoda kukuvudzai.So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto him, and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto thee.
Mutungamiri Mukuru akabata ruvoko rwake, akaenda naye vari voga, akamubvunza vari voga, akati: Uneshoko reiko, raunoda kundivudza?Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him aside privately, and asked him, What is that thou hast to tell me?
Iye akati: VaJudha vakatenderana kukumbira kwamuri, kuti muburuse Pauro kumakurukota mangwana, vachiita savanoda kumubvunzisisa mhosva yake.And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as though they would enquire somewhat of him more perfectly.
Naizvozvo musavatendera; nokuti pakati pavo kunavarume vanopfuvura makumi mana vanomuvandira vakazvisunga nokupika, kuti havangadyi, kana kunwa, kusvikira vamuvuraya; zvino vakazvigadzirira vachimirira chivimbiso, chinobva kwamuri.But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they ready, looking for a promise from thee.
Naizvozvo Mutungamiri Mukuru akaendesa jaya amuraira achiti: Usavudza munhu, kuti wandizivisa izvozvo.So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and charged him, See thou tell no man that thou hast shewed these things to me.
Zvino akadana vakuru vezana vaviri, akati: Gadzirai varwi vanamazana maviri, navanotasva mabhiza vanamakumi manomwe, navanamapfumo vanamazana maviri, vaende Kesaria nenguva yechitatu yovusiku;And he called unto him two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night;
muvatsvakire zvipfuwo, kuti vatasvise Pauro, vagonyatsomuisa kumubati Feriksi.And provide them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor.
Akanyora mwadi yakanga ichiti:And he wrote a letter after this manner:
Kraudio Risia, kunaFeriksi, mubati wakakurumbira kwazvo, kwaziwai!Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sendeth greeting.
Uyu munhu wakabatwa navaJudha, akanga oda kuvurawa navo, ini ndikasvika navarwi, ndikamurwira, zvandakanzwa kuti muRoma.This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman.
Zvino ndakati ndichida kuziva mhosva yavakamukwirira nayo, ndikamuburusira kumakurukota avo;And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their council:
ndakawana kuti wakwirirwa pamusoro pamashoko omurairo wavo, asi asinemhosva yechinhu chingafanira rufu kana kusungwa.Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.
Zvino ndakati ndavudzwa, kuti voda kuvandira munhu uyu, ndikamutumira kwamuri pakarepo, ndikaraira vanomukwirira kuti vataure pamberi penyu mhosva yake.And when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent straightway to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also to say before thee what they had against him. Farewell.
Zvino varwi vakatora Pauro sezvavakarairwa, vakamuisa Antipatri vusiku.Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris.
Fume mangwana vakarega vatasvi vamabhiza, kuti vaende naye, ivo vakadzokera kuimba yavarwi.On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle:
Vaya vakati vasvika Kesaria, vakapa mubati mwadhi, vakaisa vo Pauro pamberi pake.Who, when they came to Caesarea, and delivered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him.
Wakati arava, akabvunza kuti ndowenyika ipi; zvino wakati anzwa kuti ndoweKirikia,And when the governor had read the letter, he asked of what province he was. And when he understood that he was of Cilicia;
akati: Ndichakunzwa kwazvo, kana vanokukwirira vasvika vo; akaraira kuti achengetwe mumba maHerodhe.I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are also come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod’s judgment hall.
