Acts 9
1 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,
Zvino Sauro, achiri kufema kutyisa nekuuraya akamirisana nevadzidzi vaIshe, wakaenda kumupristi mukuru,
2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.
akakumbira kwaari magwaro ekuenda Dhamasiko kumasinagoge, kuti kana awana chero venzira iyo vese varume nevakadzi, avauise vakasungwa kuJerusarema.
3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
Zvino pakufamba, wakaswedera kuDhamasiko; zvino kamwe-kamwe kwakapenya kwakamupoteredza chiedza kubva kudenga;
4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
zvino wakawira pasi, akanzwa inzwi richiti kwaari: Sauro, Sauro, unondishushirei?
5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
Zvino akati: Ndimwi ani, Ishe? Ishe ndokuti: Ndini Jesu waunoshusha iwe; zvinokuremera kukavana nezvibayo.
6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
Achidederawo nekushamisika wakati: Ishe, chii chamunoda kuti ndiite? Ishe ndokuti kwaari: Simuka upinde muguta, zvino uchaudzwa zvaunofanira kuita.
7 And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.
Zvino varume vaifamba naye vakamira vasina remuromo, vachinzwa inzwi, asi vasingaoni munhu.
8 And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
Zvino Sauro akasimuka kubva pasi; asi meso ake azarurwa, haana kuona munhu. Zvino vakamubata ruoko, vakamuuisa kuDhamasiko.
9 And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.
Akava nemazuva matatu asingaoni, uye asingadyi kana kunwa.
10 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.
Zvino pakange pane umwe mudzidzi paDhamasiko wainzi Ananiasi; Ishe ndokuti kwaari muchiratidzo: Ananiasi! Zvino akati: Tarirai ndiri pano Ishe.
11 And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,
Ishe ndokuti kwaari: Simuka uende munzira yemuguta inonzi Yakarurama, ugobvunza mumba maJudhasi munhu anonzi Sauro, weTaso; nokuti tarira anonyengetera,
12 And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.
uye waona muchiratidzo murume anonzi Ananiasi achipinda nekuisa ruoko paari, kuti aonezve.
13 Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
Asi Ananiasi wakapindura akati: Ishe, ndakanzwa nevazhinji zvemurume uyu, zvakakura sei zvakaipa zvaakaitira vatsvene venyu paJerusarema;
14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.
uye pano ane simba kubva kuvapristi vakuru, kusunga vese vanodana zita renyu.
15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:
Asi Ishe wakati kwaari: Enda, nokuti iye mudziyo wakasarudzwa kwandiri, kutakurira zita rangu pamberi pevahedheni nemadzimambo, nevana vaIsraeri;
16 For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name’s sake.
nokuti ini ndichamuratidza kuti anofanira kutambura zvakadini nekuda kwezita rangu.
17 And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
Zvino Ananiasi wakaenda ndokupinda mumba, ndokuisa maoko pamusoro pake akati: Sauro hama, Ishe wandituma, Jesu wakaonekwa kwauri munzira yawakauya nayo, kuti uonezve uye uzadzwe neMweya Mutsvene.
18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.
Zvino pakarepo kwakawa mumeso ake zvinenge mafunurwa, akaonazve pakarepo, uye asimuka wakabhabhatidzwa.
19 And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.
Zvino wakati agamuchira kudya akawana simba. Sauro wakavawo nevadzidzi vaiva paDhamasiko mamwe mazuva.
20 And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
Zvino pakarepo wakaparidza Kristu mumasinagoge, kuti iye Mwanakomana waMwari.
21 But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests?
Asi vese vakazvinzwa vakashamisika ndokuti: Ko uyu haasi iye waiparadza avo vaidana zita iri muJerusarema here, uye akauyira izvozvo pano, kuti avatinhire vakasungwa kuvapristi vakuru?
22 But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.
Asi Sauro wakaramba achisimbiswa, akavhiringidza VaJudha vaigara paDhamasiko, achibudisa pachena kuti uyu ndiye Kristu.
23 And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him:
Zvino mazuva mazhinji akati azadziswa, VaJudha vakarangana pamwe chete kuti vamuuraye;
24 But their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him.
asi zano ravo rakazikanwa kuna Sauro. Vakarindawo masuwo masikati neusiku, kuti vamuuraye;
25 Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket.
asi vadzidzi vakamutora usiku, vakamuburusa neparusvingo vachimuburusa ari mudengu.
26 And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple.
Zvino Sauro wakati asvika kuJerusarema, akaidza kuzvibatanidza kuvadzidzi; asi vese vaimutya, vasingatendi kuti mudzidzi.
27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.
Asi Bhanabhasi wakamutora akamuuisa kuvaapositori, ndokurondedzera kwavari kuti wakaona Ishe sei munzira, uye kuti wakange ataura kwaari, uye kuti wakataura akashinga sei paDhamasiko muzita raJesu.
28 And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem.
Zvino wakava navo achipinda nekubuda paJerusarema,
29 And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.
ndokutaura akashinga muzita raIshe Jesu, akataura achipikisa VaHerenisiti; asi vakaidza kumuuraya.
30 Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Cæsarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
Asi hama dzakati dzazviziva dzikamuburusira Kesariya, ndokumutumira kuTaso.
31 Then had the Assemblies rest throughout all Judæa and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.
Naizvozvo kereke paJudhiya yese neGarirea neSamaria dzikava nerugare, dzikavakwa, dzikawedzerwa, dzichifamba mukutya Ishe nemunyaradzo yeMweya Mutsvene.
32 And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.
Zvino zvakaitika Petro achigura nzvimbo dzese, akaburukirawo kuvatsvene vakange vagere paRidha.
33 And there he found a certain man named Æneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy.
Akawanapo umwe munhu wainzi Eneasi, wakange arere panhovo makore masere, akafa mitezo.
34 And Peter said unto him, Æneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
Petro ndokuti kwaari: Eneasi, Jesu Kristu anokuporesa; simuka, uzviwaridzire. Zvino akasimuka pakarepo.
35 And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the Lord.
Zvino vese vakange vagere Ridha neSaroni vakamuona, vakatendeukira kuna Ishe.
36 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.
Zvino paivapo paJopa umwe mudzidzikadzi wainzi Tabhita, ndiko kuti Dhokasi kana zvichitsanangurwa; uyo wakange azere nemabasa akanaka nemabasa erudo aaiita.
37 And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber.
Zvino zvakaitika mumazuva iwayo kuti iye akarwara ndokufa; vakati vamushambidza, vakamuradzika mukamuri yekumusoro.
38 And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to them.
Zvino Ridha zvarakange riri pedo neJopa, vadzidzi vakange vanzwa kuti Petro wakange aripo, vakatumira kwaari varume vaviri, vachikumbira zvikuru kuti asanonoka kuuya kwavari.
39 Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.
Zvino Petro wakasimuka akaenda navo; akati asvika vakamuisa kuimba yekumusoro, uye chirikadzi dzese dzikamirapo naye dzichichema dzichiratidza nguvo refu nezvipfeko Dhokasi zvaakange aita achiri navo.
40 But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
Asi Petro wakavabudisira panze vese akafugama akanyengetera; ndokutendeukira kumutumbi, akati: Tabhita, muka! Akazarura meso ake; zvino wakati achiona Petro, akagara.
41 And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.
Zvino wakamupa ruoko, akamusimudza; ndokuti adana vatsvene nechirikadzi, akamuisa pamberi pavo achirarama.
42 And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.
Zvino zvikazikanwa paJopa yese; vazhinji ndokutenda kuna Ishe.
43 And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.
Zvino zvikaitika kuti wakagara mazuva mazhinji paJopa neumwe Simoni musuki wematehwe.
