Acts 11
1 Nowe the Apostles and the brethren that were in Iudea, heard, that the Gentiles had also receiued the worde of God.
Zvino vaapositori nehama dzaiva paJudhiya vakanzwa kuti vahedheni vagamuchirawo shoko raMwari.
2 And when Peter was come vp to Hierusalem, they of the circumcision contended against him,
Zvino Petro wakati akwira kuJerusarema, vekudzingiswa vakapokana naye,
3 Saying, Thou wentest in to men vncircumcised, and hast eaten with them.
vachiti: Wakapinda muvarume vasina kudzingiswa, ukadya navo.
4 Then Peter beganne, and expounded the thing in order to them, saying,
Asi Petro atanga wakavarondedzera zvichitevedzana achiti:
5 I was in the citie of Ioppa, praying, and in a trance I sawe this vision, A certaine vessell comming downe as it had bene a great sheete, let downe from heauen by the foure corners, and it came to me.
Ini ndakange ndiri muguta reJopa ndichinyengetera, zvino muchiyeverwa ndakaona chiratidzo, umwe mudziyo wakaburuka, semucheka mukuru unoburuswa kubva kudenga nemakona mana, ndokusvika kwandiri;
6 Towarde the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and sawe foure footed beastes of the earth, and wilde beastes, and creeping things, and foules of the heauen.
wandakati ndatarisisa ndacherekedza, zvino ndakaona mhuka dzine makumbo mana dzenyika nemhuka dzesango nezvinokambaira neshiri dzedenga.
7 Also I heard a voyce, saying vnto me, Arise, Peter: slay and eate.
Zvino ndakanzwa inzwi richiti kwandiri: Simuka, Petro, baya udye.
8 And I said, God forbid, Lord: for nothing polluted or vncleane hath at any time entred into my mouth.
Asi ndakati: Aiwa kwete Ishe; nokuti hakuna chisakachena kana chine tsvina chakatongopinda mumuromo mangu.
9 But the voyce answered me the seconde time from heauen, The things that God hath purified, pollute thou not.
Asi inzwi rakandipindura rwechipiri richibva kudenga richiti: Mwari chaachenesa, iwe usati chakasviba.
10 And this was done three times, and all were taken vp againe into heauen.
Uye izvi zvakaitika kusvikira katatu, zvese ndokukweverwazve kumusoro kudenga.
11 Then behold, immediatly there were three men already come vnto the house where I was, sent from Cesarea vnto me.
Zvino tarira, pakarepo varume vatatu vamire pamberi pemba yandakange ndiri, vatumwa kwandiri kubva kuKesariya.
12 And the Spirit saide vnto me, that I should go with them, without doubting: moreouer these sixe brethren came with me, and we entred into the mans house.
Mweya ndokuti kwandiri ndiende navo, ndisiri asina chokwadi nechinhu; nehama idzi nhanhatuwo dzakaenda neni, zvino takapinda mumba memurume uyu;
13 And he shewed vs, howe he had seene an Angel in his house, which stoode and said to him, Send men to Ioppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter.
iye akatipira kuti wakaona sei mutumwa amire mumba make, achiti kwaari: Tumira varume kuJopa, ugodana Simoni, anonzi Petro,
14 He shall speake wordes vnto thee, whereby both thou and all thine house shalbe saued.
achakuudza mashoko, auchaponeswa nawo iwe nemhuri yako yese.
15 And as I began to speake, the holy Ghost fell on them, euen as vpon vs at the beginning.
Zvino ndakati ndichatanga kutaura, Mweya Mutsvene wakaburukira pamusoro pavowo, sezvazvakaita pamusoro pedu pakutanga.
16 Then I remembred the word of the Lord, howe he said, Iohn baptized with water, but ye shalbe baptized with the holy Ghost.
Zvino ndakarangarira shoko raIshe, kuti wakataura sei achiti: Johwani zvirokwazvo wakabhabhatidza nemvura, asi imwi muchabhabhatidzwa neMweya Mutsvene.
17 For as much then as God gaue them a like gift, as he did vnto vs, when we beleeued in the Lord Iesus Christ, who was I, that I coulde let God?
Naizvozvo kana Mwari avapa chipo chakafanana nechaakapa kwatiriwo, takatenda kuna Ishe Jesu Kristu, ini ndaiva ani waigona kudzivisa Mwari?
18 When they heard these things, they helde their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles graunted repentance vnto life.
Zvino vakati vanzwa zvinhu izvozvi vakanyarara, vakarumbidza Mwari, vachiti: Naizvozvo Mwari wakapawo kuvahedheni kutendeukira kuupenyu.
19 And they which were scattered abroade because of the affliction that arose about Steuen, went throughout till they came vnto Phenice and Cyprus, and Antiochia, preaching the worde to no man, but vnto the Iewes onely.
Zvino avo vakapararira nekushushwa kwakaitika pamusoro paSitefano vakagura kusvikira paFenikia neSaipuresi neAndiyokiya, vasingatauri shoko kuna ani asi kuVaJudha chete.
20 Now some of them were men of Cyprus and of Cyrene, which when they were come into Antiochia, spake vnto the Grecians, and preached the Lord Iesus.
Asi kwaiva nevamwe vavo, varume VaSaipuresi neVaSairini vakati vasvika kuAndiyokiya, vakataura kuVaHerenisiti, vachiparidza mashoko akanaka aIshe Jesu.
21 And the hand of the Lord was with them, so that a great number beleeued and turned vnto the Lord.
Neruoko rwaIshe rwaiva navo; uye uwandu ukuru hwakatenda hukatendeukira kuna Ishe.
22 Then tydings of those things came vnto the eares of the Church, which was in Hierusalem, and they sent foorth Barnabas, that he should goe vnto Antiochia.
Zvino shoko pamusoro pavo rikanzwikwa munzeve dzekereke yaiva paJerusarema; zvino vakatuma Bhanabhasi kuti agure kunosvika Andiyokiya;
23 Who when he was come and had seene the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted all, that with purpose of heart they would continue in the Lord.
iye asvika ndokuona nyasha dzaMwari akafara, akavakurudzira vese kuti varambire panaIshe nekuzvipira kwemoyo;
24 For he was a good man, and full of the holy Ghost, and faith, and much people ioyned them selues vnto the Lord.
nokuti waiva murume wakanaka, uye azere neMweya Mutsvene uye nekutenda; chaunga chikuru ndokuwedzerwa kuna Ishe.
25 Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus to seeke Saul:
Bhanabhasi ndokubuda akaenda kuTaso kunotsvaka Sauro.
26 And when he had founde him, he brought him vnto Antiochia: and it came to passe that a whole yere they were conuersant with ye Church, and taught much people, in so much that the disciples were first called Christians in Antiochia.
Zvino wakati amuwana akamuuisa kuAndiyokiya. Zvino zvikaitika kuti gore rese vakaungana mukereke vakadzidzisa chaunga chikuru; uye vadzidzi vakatanga kunzi vaKristu paAndiyokiya.
27 In those dayes also came Prophets from Hierusalem vnto Antiochia.
Zvino nemazuva iwayo, vaporofita vakaburukira kuAndiyokiya vachibva kuJerusarema.
28 And there stoode vp one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit, that there should be great famine throughout all the world, which also came to passe vnder Claudius Cesar.
Zvino kwakasimuka umwe wavo wainzi Agabhusi, ndokuratidza neMweya kuti nzara huru ichavapo panyika yese; yakaitikawo panguva yaKiraudhio Kesari.
29 Then the disciples, euery man according to his ability, purposed to sende succour vnto the brethren which dwelt in Iudea.
Uye vadzidzi vakazvipira kuti chero ani paaigona napo, umwe neumwe wavo atume zvinobatsira kuhama dzigere muJudhiya;
30 Which thing they also did, and sent it to the Elders, by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
zvavakaitawo, vakatumira kuvakuru neruoko rwaBhanabhasi naSauro.
