Acts 28
1 When we had escaped, then they learned that the island was called Malta.
Takati tasvika zvakanaka kumahombekombe, takazoziva kuti chitsuwa ichi chainzi Marita.
2 The natives showed us uncommon kindness; for they kindled a fire and received us all, because of the present rain and because of the cold.
Vanhu vomuchitsuwa ichi vakatiitira tsitsi dzinoshamisa. Vakavesa moto vakatigamuchira tose nokuti kwakanga kuchinaya uye kuchitonhora.
3 But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened on his hand.
Pauro akaunganidza svinga retutsotso. Paakanga ava kutuisa mumoto, nyoka, yanzwa kupisa kwomoto, yakanamatira paruoko rwake.
4 When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped from the sea, yet Justice has not allowed to live.”
Vanhu vomuchitsuwa ichi pavakaona nyoka yakarembera paruoko rwake, vakataurirana pakati pavo vakati, “Munhu uyu anofanira kuva mhondi; nokuti kunyange apunyuka hake mugungwa, kururamisira hakuna kumubvumira kuti ararame.”
5 However he shook off the creature into the fire, and wasn’t harmed.
Asi Pauro akazunzira nyoka mumoto uye haana kurwara.
6 But they expected that he would have swollen or fallen down dead suddenly, but when they watched for a long time and saw nothing bad happen to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.
Vanhu vakanga vakatarisira kuti achazvimba kana kuwira pasi pakarepo ofa, asi vakati varindira kwenguva refu uye vakasaona chakaitika kwaari, vakashanduka vakati aiva mwari.
7 Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who received us and courteously entertained us for three days.
Pakanga pano munda waiva pedyo ipapo wakanga uri waPabhuriosi, muchinda mukuru wechitsuwa icho. Akatigamuchira kumba kwake akatichengeta zvakanaka kwamazuva matatu.
8 The father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery. Paul entered in to him, prayed, and laying his hands on him, healed him.
Baba vake vakanga vachirwara vavete pamubhedha, vachirwadziwa nefivha uye vane manyoka aibudisa ropa. Pauro akapinda kuti andovaona, uye shure kwokunyengetera, akaisa maoko ake pamusoro pavo akavaporesa.
9 Then when this was done, the rest also who had diseases in the island came and were cured.
Izvi zvakati zvaitika, vairwara vose vomuchitsuwa vakauya vakaporeswa.
10 They also honored us with many honors; and when we sailed, they put on board the things that we needed.
Vakatikudza nenzira zhinji uye patakanga tagadzirira kukwira chikepe, vakatipa zvinhu zvataida.
11 After three months, we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose figurehead was “The Twin Brothers.”
Mwedzi mitatu yakati yapfuura, takaenda kugungwa tikakwira muchikepe chakanga chapedza mwaka wechando chiri pachitsuwa apa. Chakanga chiri chikepe chokuArekizandiria chakanga chine misoro miviri yavamwari mapatya, ivo Kasitori naPorukisi.
12 Touching at Syracuse, we stayed there three days.
Takaenda paSirakuse tikandogarapo kwamazuva matatu.
13 From there we circled around and arrived at Rhegium. After one day, a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli,
Takabvapo tikakwira chikepe tikandosvika kuRegiamu. Zuva rakatevera, mhepo yaibva zasi yakatanga kuvhuvhuta, uye pazuva rechipiri takazosvika paPuteori.
14 where we found brothers, and were entreated to stay with them for seven days. So we came to Rome.
Ipapo takawana hama uye dzakatikoka kuti tipedze vhiki imwe tinavo. Tichibva ipapo takaenda kuRoma.
15 From there the brothers, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns. When Paul saw them, he thanked God and took courage.
Hama dzaikoko dzakanga dzanzwa kuti takanga tichiuya, naizvozvo vakafamba kusvikira kuMusika weApio napaMahotera Matatu kuti vazosangana nesu. Pauro, paakaona varume ava, akavonga Mwari uye akakurudzirwa.
16 When we entered into Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard, but Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who guarded him.
Takati tasvika kuRoma, Pauro akatenderwa kuti agare oga, ane murwi aimuchengeta.
17 After three days Paul called together those who were the leaders of the Jews. When they had come together, he said to them, “I, brothers, though I had done nothing against the people or the customs of our fathers, still was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans,
Mazuva matatu akati apfuura, akakoka vatungamiri vavaJudha. Vakati vaungana, Pauro akati kwavari, “Hama dzangu, kunyange ndisina kuita chinhu chakaipa kuvanhu vokwedu kana pamusoro petsika dzamadzitateguru edu, ndakasungwa muJerusarema ndikaiswa mumaoko avaRoma.
18 who, when they had examined me, desired to set me free, because there was no cause of death in me.
Vakandibvunzisisa uye vakada kundisunungura, nokuti ndakanga ndisina mhosva ipi zvayo yaikodzera rufu.
19 But when the Jews spoke against it, I was constrained to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything about which to accuse my nation.
Asi vaJudha vakati varamba ndakazvipira kuti ndizviise kuna Kesari, kwete kuti ndakanga ndine mhosva ipi zvayo nehama dzangu.
20 For this cause therefore I asked to see you and to speak with you. For because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.”
Nokudaro ndakumbira hangu kuti ndikuonei uye nditaure nemi. Nokuda kwetariro yaIsraeri ndakasungwa nengetani iyi.”
21 They said to him, “We neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor did any of the brothers come here and report or speak any evil of you.
Ivo vakati, “Hatina kumbogamuchira kana tsamba zvadzo dzichibva kuJudhea maererano newe, uye hakuna mumwe wehama dzakabvako akatizivisa kana kutaura chinhu chipi zvacho chakaipa pamusoro pako.
22 But we desire to hear from you what you think. For, as concerning this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against.”
Asi tinoda kunzwa kuti pfungwa dzako ndedzei, nokuti tinoziva kuti kwose kwose vanhu vanotaura zvakaipa pamusoro peboka iri.”
23 When they had appointed him a day, many people came to him at his lodging. He explained to them, testifying about God’s Kingdom, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses and from the prophets, from morning until evening.
Vakaronga kuzosanganazve naPauro pane rimwe zuva, uye vakauya kwaakanga ari vari vazhinji kwazvo. Kubvira mangwanani kusvikira madekwana akavatsanangurira uye akavapupurira zvoumambo hwaMwari, uye achiedza kwazvo kuti vatende nezvaJesu kutanga paMurayiro waMozisi kusvikira kuvaprofita.
24 Some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.
Vamwe vakatendeswa nezvaaireva, asi vamwe havana kutenda.
25 When they didn’t agree among themselves, they departed after Paul had spoken one message: “The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers,
Havana kutenderana pakati pavo ndokubva vatanga kuenda, shure kwokunge Pauro ataura mashoko okupedzisira okuti: “Mweya Mutsvene akataura chokwadi kumadzitateguru enyu paakataura nomuromo waIsaya muprofita achiti:
26 saying, ‘Go to this people and say, in hearing, you will hear, but will in no way understand. In seeing, you will see, but will in no way perceive.
“‘Enda kuvanhu ava uti, “Mucharamba muchinzwa asi musingatongonzwisisi; mucharamba muchiona asi musingaonesesi.”
27 For this people’s heart has grown callous. Their ears are dull of hearing. Their eyes they have closed. Lest they should see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again, then I would heal them.’
Nokuti mwoyo yavanhu ava yava mikukutu; havanzwisisi nenzeve dzavo, uye vakatsinzina meso avo. Zvimwe vangaona nameso avo, vanganzwa nenzeve dzavo, vakanzwisisa nemwoyo yavo, vagotendeuka, ndigovaporesa.’
28 “Be it known therefore to you that the salvation of God is sent to the nations, and they will listen.”
“Naizvozvo ndinoda kuti muzive kuti ruponeso rwaMwari rwatumirwa kune veDzimwe Ndudzi, uye vachanzwa!”
29 When he had said these words, the Jews departed, having a great dispute among themselves.
Shure kwokunge ataura izvi, vaJudha vakabva, vachikakavadzana zvikuru pakati pavo.
30 Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house and received all who were coming to him,
Pauro akagara ikoko kwamakore maviri ose ari muimba yake yaairipira uye aigamuchira vose vaiuya kuzomuona.
31 preaching God’s Kingdom and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, without hindrance.
Akaparidza zvoumambo hwaMwari asingatyi, asingadziviswi uye akadzidzisa nezvaIshe Jesu Kristu.
