Acts 18
1 After these things Paul departed from Athens and came to Corinth.
Shure kwezvinhu izvi Pauro wakabva paAtene akauya kuKorinde.
2 He found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome. He came to them,
Zvino akawana umwe muJudha wainzi Akwira, wePonto pakuberekwa (achangosvika kubva kuItaria), naPrisira mukadzi wake, nekuda kwekuraira kwaKiraudhio kuti VaJudha vese vabve kuRoma, akaenda kwavari;
3 and because he practiced the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers.
zvino nokuti vakange vari vebasa rimwe, wakagara navo ndokushanda; nokuti vaiva vagadziri vematende pabasa.
4 He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath and persuaded Jews and Greeks.
Zvino waiparidza sabata rimwe nerimwe musinagoge, achigombedzera VaJudha neVaGiriki.
5 When Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.
Zvino Sirasi naTimotio vakati vachiburuka kubva kuMakedhonia, Pauro wakamanikidzwa neMweya, akapupura kuVaJudha kuti Jesu ndiye Kristu.
6 When they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook out his clothing and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am clean. From now on, I will go to the Gentiles!”
Zvino vakati vachimupikisa nekutuka, akazunza nguvo, akati kwavari: Ropa renyu ngarive pamusoro penyu; ini ndakachena; kubva ikozvino ndichaenda kuvahedheni.
7 He departed there and went into the house of a certain man named Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.
Zvino wakabva ipapo akaenda kumba kweumwe wainzi Jusito, wainamata Mwari, imba yake yaiva yakabatana nesinagoge.
8 Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house. Many of the Corinthians, when they heard, believed and were baptized.
NaKrisipo mutungamiriri wesinagoge wakatenda kuna Ishe neimba yake yese; nevazhinji veVaKorinde vakanzwa vakatenda uye vakabhabhatidzwa.
9 The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, “Don’t be afraid, but speak and don’t be silent;
Zvino Ishe wakataura kuna Pauro pausiku nechiratidzo: Usatya, asi taura uye usanyarara;
10 for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city.”
nokuti ini ndinewe, uye hapana angakumukira kuti akukuvadze; nokuti ndine vanhu vazhinji muguta rino.
11 He lived there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
Zvino wakagara gore nemwedzi mitanhatu, achidzidzisa shoko raMwari pakati pavo.
12 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat,
Zvino Gario wakati ava mutungamiriri weAkaya, VaJudha vakamukira Pauro nemoyo umwe, vakamuuisa pamberi pechigaro chekutonga,
13 saying, “This man persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.”
vachiti: Uyu anogombedzera vanhu kunamata Mwari zvinopesana nemurairo.
14 But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked crime, you Jews, it would be reasonable that I should bear with you;
Zvino Pauro wakati oda kushamisa muromo, Gario akati kuVaJudha: Naizvozvo dai chaiva chinhu chezvisakarurama kana mhosva yakaipa, haiwa VaJudha, nechikonzero ichi ndaikuitirai nemoyo murefu;
15 but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves. For I don’t want to be a judge of these matters.”
asi kana dziri nharo pamusoro peshoko nemazita, nemurairo wenyu pachenyu, zvionerei imwi; nokuti ini handidi kuva mutongi weizvozvo.
16 So he drove them from the judgment seat.
Ndokuvadzinga pachigaro chekutonga.
17 Then all the Greeks seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. Gallio didn’t care about any of these things.
Zvino VaGiriki vese vakabata Sositeni mutungamiriri wesinagoge, vakamurova pamberi pechigaro chekutonga. Asi Gario haana kuva nehanya nechinhu chimwe cheizvozvo.
18 Paul, having stayed after this many more days, took his leave of the brothers, and sailed from there for Syria, together with Priscilla and Aquila. He shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had a vow.
Pauro wakati achigere mazuva mazhinji, akaonekana nehama, akabvapo nechikepe akaenda kuSiriya, uye Prisira naAkwira vanaye, aveura musoro paKenikirea, nokuti wakange ane mhiko.
19 He came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.
Zvino wakasvika muEfeso, akavasiyapo; asi iye wakapinda musinagoge akataurirana neVaJudha.
20 When they asked him to stay with them a longer time, he declined;
Zvino vakati vamukumbira kugara navo nguva yakati rebei, haana kutenda;
21 but taking his leave of them, he said, “I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem, but I will return again to you if God wills.” Then he set sail from Ephesus.
asi wakavaoneka achiti: Ndinofanira nenzira dzese kuchengetedza mutambo unouya muJerusarema; asi ndichadzokazve kwamuri, kana Mwari achida. Akabva paEfeso nechikepe.
22 When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the assembly, and went down to Antioch.
Zvino wakati asvika Kesariya, ndokukwira akakwazisa kereke, akaburukira kuAndiyokiya.
23 Having spent some time there, he departed and went through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, in order, establishing all the disciples.
Zvino wakati ambopedza nguva, akabva, akagura nedunhu reGaratia neFrigia achitevedzanisa, achisimbisa vadzidzi vese.
24 Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the Scriptures.
Zvino umwe muJudha wainzi Aporo, muAreksandiria nekuberekwa, murume nyanzvi yekutaura, ane simba pamagwaro, wakasvika paEfeso.
25 This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John.
Uyu wakange adzidziswa nzira yaIshe, uye waishingaira mumweya, achitaura nekunyatsodzidzisa zvinhu zvaIshe, achiziva rubhabhatidzo rwaJohwani chete;
26 He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside, and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
iye ndokutanga kutaura asingatyi musinagoge. Zvino Prisira naAkwira vakati vamunzwa, vakamutora, vakanyatsomududzira nzira yaMwari nemazvo.
27 When he had determined to pass over into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him; and wrote to the disciples to receive him. When he had come, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace;
Zvino wakati achida kuyambukira kuAkaya, hama dzakanyora dzichisimbisa vadzidzi kuti vamugamuchire; iye wakati achisvika akabatsira zvikuru avo vakatenda nenyasha;
28 for he powerfully refuted the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
nokuti wakapwisa VaJudha nesimba pachena, achiratidza nemagwaro kuti Jesu ndiye Kristu.
