Zvino mumwe murume, wainzi Ananiasi, wakatengesa fuma yake anaSafira mukadzi wake,But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
akazvikamurira zvimwe pamutengo, mukadzi wake achizviziva vo, akavuya nomumwe mugove, ndokuuisa pamberi pavaapostora.And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
Asi Petro akati: Ananiasi, Satani wazadzireiko moyo wako, kuti ureve nhema kuMweya Mutsvene, nokuzvikamurira zvimwe pamutengo womunda?But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
Iwo uchiripo, wakanga usi wako here? Watengeswa, wakanga usinesimba nazvo here? Waita seiko, zvawafunga chinhu ichi mumoyo mako? Hauna kureva nhema kuvanhu, asi kunaMwari.Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.
Ananiasi, wakati achinzwa mashoko iwayo, akawira pasi, akabudisa mweya wake; kutya kukuru kukawira vose vakazvinzwa.And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.
Majaya akasimuka, akamuputira, ndokumutakurira kunze, ndokumuviga.And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.
Nguva dzinege senhatu dzakati dzapfuvura, mukadzi wake akapinda, asingazivi zvaitwa.And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.
Petro akapindura kwaari, akati: Ndivudze kana maka tengesa munda nemari yakadai? Iye akati: Hongu, neyakadai.And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.
Petro akati kwaari: Maita seiko zvamarangana kuidza Mweya waShe? Tarira, tsoka dzavakaviga murume wako, dzichiri pamukova, vachakutakurira vo kunze.Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.
Ipapo akawira pasi pakarepo patsoka dzake, akabudisa mweya wake; majaya akapinda, akamuwana afa, ndokumutakurira kunze, ndokumuviga kumurume wake.Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.
Kutya kukuru kukawira kereke yose navose vakazvinzwa.And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.
Zviratidzo nezvinoshamisa zvizhinji zvakaitwa pakati pavanhu namavoko avaapostora; vose vaiva nomoyo mumwe pabiravira raSoromoni.And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.
Asi pakati pavamwe kwakanga kusinomunhu wakatsunga kuzviisa kwavari; asi vanhu vaivakudzaAnd of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.
Vatendi vazhinji kwazvo, varume navakadzi, vairamba vachiwedzerwa kunaShe.And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)
Nokudaro vakatakurira varwere munzira dzomumusha, vakavaradzika pamibhedha napanhovo, kuti kana Petro achiswederapo, kunyange nomumvuri wake bedzi udzikatire mumwe wavo.Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.
Navazhinji vamaguta akapoteredza Jerusarema vakavungana, vachivuya navarwere, navaitambudzika nemweya yetsvina, vakaporeswa.There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.
Zvino muPirisita mukuru akasimuka, navose vaiva naye (vaiva vedzidziso yavaSadhuse), vanegodo kwazvo;Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation,
vakabata vaapostora vakavaisa mutorongo maipinzwa vanhu vose.And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.
Asi mutumwa waShe wakazarura mikova yetorongo vusiku, akavabudisa, akati:But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said,
Endai, mumire mutembere muchitaura kuvanhu mashoko ose ovupenyu ubwu.Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.
Vakati vachizvinzwa, vakapinda mutembere mangwanani, vakadzidzisa. Zvino muPirisita mukuru navaiva naye, vakasvika, vakakokera makurukota nevungano yose yavakuru vavana vaIsraeri; vakatumira vanhu kutorongo kuzovuya navo.And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel and sent to the prison to have them brought.
Asi varanda vakati vachisvikapo, vakawana vasimo mutorongo; vakadzoka, vakavavudza izvozvo, vachiti:But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned, and told,
Torongo takaiwana yakazarirwa zvakasimba kwazvo, navarindi vamire panze; asi takati tichizarura, tikasawana munhu mukati.Saying, The prison truly found we shut with all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within.
Zvino MuPirisita nomukuru wetembere, navaPirisita vakuru vakati vachinzwa mashoko iwayo, vakakanganiswa pamusoro pazvo, vasingazivi kuti zvinozodini.Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them whereunto this would grow.
ipapo mumwe munhu akasvika, akavavudza, achiti: Tarirai, varume vamakaisa mutorongo, vava mutembere, vamire vachidzidzisa vanhu.Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.
Zvino mutungamiriri wavarwi, navatariri, vakaenda, vakavuya navo, vasingaiti nesimba, nokuti vakanga vachitya vanhu kuti vangatakwa namabwe.Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned.
Vakati vasvika navo, vakavaisa kumakurukota. MuPirisita mukuru akavabvunzaAnd when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them,
achiti: Ko hatina kukurairai zvikuru kuti murege kudzidzisa nezita iri here?, zvino tarirai, mazadza Jerusarema nokudzidzisa kwenyu; muchida kuti ropa romunhu uyu rivuye pamsoro pedu.Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.
Zvino Petro navaapostora vakapindura vakati: Tinofanira kuterera Mwari kupfuvura vanhu.Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
Mwari wamadzibaba edu wakamutsa Jesu iye wamakavuraya muchimuturika pamuti,The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.
Mwari wakamusimudza iye noruvoko rwake rworudyi, ave Mutungamiriri noMusununguri, kuti ape vaIsraeri kutendevuka nekanganwiro yezvivi.Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
Isu tiri zvapupu zvamashoko iwayo; noMweya Mutsvene vo, wavakapiwa naMwari ivo vanomuterera.And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
Zvino ivo vakati vachizvinzwa, vakafa neshungu, vakada kuvavuraya.When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them.
Ipapo mumwe muFarise, wainzi Gamarieri, mudzidzisi womurairo, waikudzwa navanhu vose, akasimuka pamakurukota, akaraira kuti vaapostora vabudiswe chinguva chiduku;Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space;
akati kwavari: Varume vaIsraeri, chenjerai zvamunoda kuitira vanhu ava.And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men.
Nokuti kare kwakambomuka Tudasi, achiti, ndiri munhu mukuru, vanhu vanenge mazana mana vakamutevera; iye akavurawa, navose vaimuterera vakaparadzirwa, nokuparadzwa.For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought.
Shure kwomunhu uyu Judhasi weGarirea akamuka, pamazuva okuverengwa, akatsausa vanhu kuti vamutevere; iye akaparara, navose vakamuterera, vakaparadzirwa.After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.
Zvino ndinoti kwamuri: Musabata vanhu ava, muvarege, nokuti kana kufunga uku nebasa iri zviri zvavanhu, zvichaparadzwa.And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:
Asi kana zviri zvaMwari, hamungagoni kuzviparadza; kuti zvimwe mungadai muchirwa naMwari vo.But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.
Vakamunzwa; ipapo vakati vadana vaapostora, vakavarova, vakavaraira kuti varege kutaura nezita raJesu; vakavaregedza.And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
Ipapo vakabuda pamakurukota, vachifara, zvavakanzi vakafanirwa kunyadziswa nokuda kwezita rake.And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.
Havana kurega kudzidzisa, nokuparidza mazuva ose zvaKristu Jesu, mutembere kana kudzimba dzavo.And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.
