Acts 1
1 THE former book have I written, O Theophilus concerning all the things which our Lord Jesus Messiah began to do and teach,
Rondedzero yekutanga ndakaiita, haiwa Teofiro, pamusoro pezvese Jesu zvaakatanga kuita uyewo kudzidzisa,
2 until the day when he was taken up, after he had instructed those legates whom he had chosen by the Holy Spirit.
kusvikira zuva raakakwidzwa, amboraira neMweya Mutsvene kuvaapositori vaakange asarudza;
3 To whom also he showed himself alive after he had suffered, by numerous signs, during forty days, while he was seen by them, and spoke of the kingdom of God.
vaakazviratidzawo kwavari ari mupenyu shure kwekutambudzika kwake neuchapupu uzhinji hunopwisa, achionekwa navo kwemazuva makumi mana, achitaura zvinhu zveushe hwaMwari.
4 And when he had eaten bread with them, he instructed them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which (said he) ye have heard from me.
Zvino aungana navo, akavaraira kuti varege kubva muJerusarema asi vamirire chivimbiso chaBaba, chamakanzwa neni;
5 For John baptized with water; but ye will be baptized with the Holy Spirit after not many days.
nokuti Johwani zvirokwazvo wakabhabhatidza nemvura, asi imwi muchabhabhatidzwa neMweya Mutsvene pasina mazuva mazhinji kubva ikozvino.
6 And they, when assembled, asked him and said to him: Our Lord, wilt thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?
Naizvozvo ivo vakati vaungana vakamubvunza vachiti: Ishe, muchadzosera ushe kuna Israeri nenguva ino here?
7 He said to them: It is not yours, to know the time or times which God hath placed in his own power.
Zvino akati kwavari: Hazvisi zvenyu kuziva nguva kana misi Baba yavakatara nesimba ravo pachavo;
8 But when the Holy Spirit shall come upon you, ye will receive energy, and will be witnesses for me in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and also among the Samaritans, and unto the ends of the earth.
asi muchagamuchira simba, Mweya Mutsvene asvika pamusoro penyu; uye muchava zvapupu zvangu zvese paJerusarema nemuJudhiya mese nemuSamaria, kusvikirawo kumugumo wenyika.
9 And when he had said these things, while they beheld him, he was taken up, and a cloud received him, and he was hidden from their eyes.
Zvino wakati areva zvinhu izvi, akakwidzwa vakatarira, negore rikamubvisa pameso avo.
10 And while they were looking toward heav, as he departed, two men were found standing near them, in white garments,
Zvino vachakatarisisa kudenga, achikwira, zvino tarira, varume vaviri vakamira navo nenguvo chena;
11 and saying to them: Ye Galilean men, why stand ye and look toward heaven? This Jesus, who is taken up from you to heaven, will so come, as ye have seen him ascend to heaven.
ivowo vakati: Varume veGarirea, makamirirei makatarisisa kudenga? Iyeyu Jesu, anobviswa kwamuri achikwidzwa kudenga, achauya saizvozvo sezvamunomuona achienda kudenga.
12 And afterwards they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called the place of Olives, which was near to Jerusalem, and distant from it about seven furlongs.
Zvino vakadzokera kuJerusarema vachibva pagomo rinonzi reMiorivhi riri pedo neJerusarema, chinhambwe cherwendo rwesabata.
13 And when they had entered, they went to an upper chamber; where were Peter, and John, and James, and Andrew, and Philip, and Thomas, and Matthew, and Bartholomew, and James the son of Alpheus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the son of James.
Vakati vapinda, vakakwira mukamuri yepamusoro apo paigara vese Petro naJakobho naJohwani naAndiriya, Firipi naTomasi, Bhatironomiyo naMatewu, Jakobho waArifio naSimoni muZiroti, naJudhasi waJakobho.
14 All these unitedly persevered in prayer, with one soul, together with the women, and with Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
Ava vese vakatsungirira nemoyo umwe mumunyengetero nemukumbiro, pamwe nevakadzi, naMaria mai vaJesu, uye nevanin'ina vake.
15 And in those days stood up Simon Cephas in the midst of the disciples, (the persons there assembled being about one hundred and twenty, ) and said:
Zvino mumazuva iwayo Petro wakasimuka pakati pevadzidzi akati (kwaiva nechaunga nevanhu pamwe vanenge zana nemakumi maviri):
16 Men, brethren, it was right that the scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spake, by the mouth of David, concerning Judas who was guide to them that apprehended Jesus.
Varume hama, zvakafanira kuti rugwaro urwu rwuzadziswe, Mweya Mutsvene zvawakagara wataura nemuromo waDhavhidhi pamusoro paJudhasi, wakange ari mutungamiriri wevaya vakabata Jesu,
17 For he was numbered with us, and had a part in this ministry.
nokuti wakange achiverengwa pamwe nesu, akagamuchira mugove weushumiri uhu.
18 He purchased a field with the wages of sin; and he fell upon his face on the ground, and burst in the middle, and all his entrails were poured out.
Zvino uyu wakawana munda nemubairo wezvakaipa, akawa nemusoro, akaparuka nepakati, ura hwake hwese hukabvajukira kunze.
19 And this was known to all that dwelt at Jerusalem; so that the field was called, in the language of the country, Aceldama, which is interpreted Field of Blood.
Zvikanzwikwa kuvagari vese paJerusarema, zvekuti munda uyo watumidzwa nerurimi rwavo pachavo kuti Akeridhama, ndiko kuti: Munda weropa.
20 For it is written, in the book of Psalms: Let his habitation be desolate, and let no resident be in it; and let another take his service.
Nokuti zvakanyorwa mubhuku reMapisarema zvichinzi: Musha wake ngauve dongo, uye kurege kuva neanogara mauri; uye: Utariri hwake, umwe ngaatore.
21 It should therefore be, that one of these persons, who have been with us all the time that our Lord Jesus went in and out with us,
Naizvozvo zvakafanira pavarume ava vaifamba nesu munguva yese, apo Ishe Jesu aipinda nekubuda pakati pedu,
22 commencing from the baptism of John, unto the day he was taken up from us, should be, with us, a witness of his resurrection.
kutanga parubhabhatidzo rwaJohwani, kusvikira pazuva raakwidzwa kubva kwatiri, umwe wavo ngaave chapupu pamwe nesu chekumuka kwake.
23 And they proposed two, Joseph called Barsabas, whose surname was Justus, and Matthias.
Zvino vakamisa vaviri: Josefa wainzi Bharisabhasi, wakatumidzwawo Jusito, naMatiasi.
24 And when they had prayed, they said: Thou, Lord, knowest what is in the hearts of all, manifest which thou hast chosen of these two,
Vakanyengetera vachiti: Imwi Ishe, imwi muzivi wemoyo yevese, taridzai umwe pavaviri ava wamasarudza,
25 that he should take part in this ministry and legateship, from which Judas broke away, that he might go to his own place.
kugamuchira mugove paushumiri nevuapositori, Judhasi hwaakatsauka pahuri, kuti aende panzvimbo yake pachake.
26 And they cast lots, and it came upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven legates.
Zvino vakavapa mijenya yavo, mujenya ukawira pana Matiasi; akaverengwa pamwe nevaapositori vanegumi neumwe.
