Acts 23
1 Having looked intently then Paul at the Council he said; Men brothers, I myself in all conscience good have lived as a citizen to God unto this day.
Zvino Pauro wakati achitarisisa dare remakurukota akati: Varume hama, ini ndakafamba pamberi paMwari nehana yese yakanaka, kusvikira zuva rino.
2 Then the high priest Ananias commanded to those standing by him to strike of him the mouth.
Asi mupristi mukuru Ananiasi wakaraira vakange vamire naye kuti vamurove muromo.
3 Then Paul to him said; To strike you is about God, wall whitewashed! And you yourself do you sit judging me according to the law, and violating law you command me to be struck?
Ipapo Pauro akati kwaari: Mwari achakurova, madziro akadzudzurwa akacheneswa; nokuti iwe ugere kuti unditonge maererano nemurairo, zvino unoraira kuti ndirohwe zvinopesana nemurairo here?
4 Those who now standing by said; The high priest of God do you insult?
Zvino vakange vamirepo vakati: Unotuka mupristi mukuru waMwari here?
5 Was saying then Paul; Not I had known, brothers, that he is high priest; it has been written for (that *no) [The] ruler of the people of you not you will speak evil [of].’
Pauro ndokuti: Ndanga ndisingazivi, hama, kuti mupristi mukuru; nokuti kwakanyorwa kuchinzi: Usataura zvakaipa pamusoro pemutungamiriri wevanhu vekwako.
6 Having known then Paul that the one part consists of Sadducees but the other of Pharisees (he was crying out *N+kO) in the Council; Men brothers, I myself a Pharisee am, [the] son (of Pharisees; *N+KO) concerning [the] hope and resurrection of [the] dead I myself am judged.
Zvino Pauro wakati aziva kuti rimwe divi ndereVaSadhusi uye rimwe ndereVaFarisi, akadanidzira kudare remakurukota, akati: Varume hama, ini ndiri muFarisi, mwanakomana wemuFarisi; ini ndinotongwa pamusoro petariro nekumuka kwevakafa.
7 This then of him (saying *N+k+o) arose a dissension between the Pharisees and (of the *k) Sadducees, and was divided the crowd.
Wakati areva izvi, kupesana kukauya pakati peVaFarisi neVaSadhusi, chaunga ndokukamukana.
8 Sadducees indeed for say not there to be resurrection (neither [to be] *N+kO) angel nor [to be] spirit; Pharisees however confess both.
Nokuti VaSadhusi vanoti hakuna kumuka, kana mutumwa, kana mweya; asi VaFarisi vanobvuma zviri zviviri.
9 Arose then a clamor great; and having risen up (some *NO) (of the scribes *N+kO) of the party of the Pharisees they were contending saying; No [thing] evil we find in man this; What if now a spirit has spoken to him or an angel (Surely we shall be fighting God? *K)
Zvino mhere-mhere huru ikamuka; vanyori vekudivi reVaFarisi vakasimuka vachipikisa zvikuru vachiti: Hatiwani chinhu chakaipa kumunhu uyu; asi kana mweya akataura naye kana mutumwa, hatingarwisani naMwari.
10 great then (is becoming *N+kO) dissension, (having feared *N+kO) the commander lest may be torn to pieces Paul by them he commanded the troop (having gone down *NK+o) (and *k) to take by force him from midst of them, to bring [him] then into the barracks.
Zvino kupesana kukuru kwakati kwauya, mukuru wechuru akatya kuti Pauro angabvamburwa navo, akaraira mauto kuti aburuke amubvute pakati pavo, amuise kuimba yemauto.
11 But on the following night having stood by him the Lord said; Take courage (Paul; *k) as for you have fully testified about Me at Jerusalem, thus you it behooves also in Rome to testify.
Zvino usiku hwakatevera Ishe wakamira naye akati: Tsunga moyo Pauro; nokuti sezvawakapupura zvinhu maererano neni paJerusarema, saizvozvo zvakafanirawo kuti upupure kuRoma.
12 When it was becoming then day having made a conspiracy (the Jews *N+kO) put under an oath themselves declaring neither to eat nor to drink until that they may kill Paul.
Zvino kwakati kwaedza, vamwe veVaJudha vakaita rangano, vakazvisunga nemhiko, vachiti havangadyi kana kunwa kusvikira vauraya Pauro.
13 There were now more than forty this plot (having made; *N+kO)
Zvino vaipfuura makumi mana vakange vaita mhiko iyi pamwe chete;
14 who having come to the chief priests and to the elders said; With an oath we have bound ourselves nothing to eat until that we may kill Paul.
ava vakaenda kuvapristi vakuru nevakuru vakati: Tazvisunga nemhiko huru, kuti hatidyi chinhu kusvikira tauraya Pauro.
15 Now therefore you yourselves do make a report to the commander along with the Council, so that (tomorrow *K) he may bring down him (to *N+kO) you as being about to examine more earnestly the [things] about him; we ourselves then before drawing near of him ready we are to execute him.
Naizvozvo ikozvino imwi nedare remakurukota taridzai kumukuru wechuru, kuti amuburusire kwamuri mangwana, sezvinonzi munoda kunyatsobvunzisisa zviri maererano naye; asi isu asati aswedera, tazvigadzira kumuuraya.
16 Having heard however the son of the sister of Paul (of the ambush, *N+kO) having come near and having entered into the barracks he reported [it] to Paul.
Zvino mwanakomana wehanzvadzi yaPauro akanzwa zvekuvandira, akauya akapinda mumba memauto, akaudza Pauro.
17 Having called to [him] then Paul one of the centurions he was saying; young man this (do take *NK+o) to the commander; he has for to report something to him.
Pauro ndokudanira kwaari umwe wevakuru vezana akati: Isa jaya iri kumukuru wechuru; nokuti rine chekutaura kwaari.
18 The [one] indeed therefore having taken him he brought [him] to the commander and he says; The prisoner Paul having called to me he asked [me] this (young man *N+kO) to lead to you having something to say to you.
Zvino ndokumutora, akamuuisa kumukuru wechuru, ndokuti: Pauro musungwa wandidanira kwaari akakumbira kuti ndiuise jaya iri kwamuri, rine chekutaura kwamuri.
19 Having taken hold then of the hand of him the commander and having withdrawn in private he was inquiring: What is it that you have to report to me?
Mukuru wechuru akabata ruoko rwaro, akaenda naro parutivi vari vega, akabvunza akati: Chii chaunacho chekundiudza?
20 He said then that The Jews have agreed to ask you that tomorrow Paul you may bring down into the Council as (it being about *N+K+O) something more earnestly to inquire about him.
Iye akati: VaJudha vatenderana kukukumbirai, kuti muburusire Pauro kudare remakurukota mangwana, sevanoda kunyatsobvunzisisa chimwe chinhu maererano naye.
21 You yourself therefore not may be persuaded by them, Lie in wait indeed for him of them men more than forty, who was put under an oath themselves neither to eat nor to drink until that they may execute him and now they are ready awaiting the from you promise.
Naizvozvo imwi musatendeswa navo; nokuti vakamuvandira pakati pavo varume vanopfuura makumi mana, vakazvisunga nemhiko kuti havangadyi kana kunwa kusvikira vamuuraya; zvino ikozvino vakagadzirira vachimirira chivimbiso kubva kwamuri.
22 Indeed therefore [the] commander dismissed the (young man *N+kO) having instructed [him] No one to tell that these things you reported to me.
Naizvozvo mukuru wechuru wakaregera jaya richienda, ariraira achiti: Usaudza munhu kuti wandizivisa zvinhu izvi.
23 And having called to [him] two certain of the centurions he said; do prepare soldiers two hundred so that they may go as far as Caesarea and horsemen seventy and spearmen two hundred for [the] third hour of the night,
Zvino akadanira kwaari vamwe vaviri vevakuru vezana, akati: Gadzirirai mauto mazana maviri kuti afambe kusvikira Kesariya, nevatasvi vemabhiza makumi manomwe, nevemapfumo mazana maviri, kubva paawa rechitatu reusiku;
24 Mounts then providing so that having set upon [them] Paul they may bring [him] safely to Felix the governor;
muvawanisewo zvipfuwo, kuti vatasvise Pauro vamuise akachengeteka kumutungamiriri Ferikisi;
25 having written a letter (having *N+kO) form this:
akanyora tsamba yakatakura zvemukati izvi:
26 Claudius Lysias To the most excellent governor Felix Greeting.
Kiraudhio Risia kuna Ferikisi mutungamiriri changamire, kwaziwai.
27 man this having been seized by the Jews and being about to be executed by them, having come up with the troop I rescued (him *k) having learned that a Roman he is;
Uyu murume wakabatwa neVaJudha, uye angadai akaurawa navo, ndikasvika nemauto ndikamununura, ndanzwa kuti muRoma.
28 Resolving (then to know *N+kO) the charge on account of which they were accusing him I brought down (him *k) to the council of them;
Zvino ndakati ndichida kuziva chikonzero chavaimupomera nacho, ndikamuburusira kudare ravo remakurukota;
29 whom I found being accused concerning questions of the law of them, not however [of anything] worthy of death or of chains having accusation.
ndikawana achipomerwa pamusoro pemashoko emurairo wavo, asi asingapomerwi chinhu chingafanira rufu kana zvisungo.
30 When was being disclosed then to me a plot that against the man (to be about to *k) going to happen (by the Jews *K) (at once *NK+O) I sent [him] to you having instructed also to the accusers to speak the [things] against him before you. (Farewell! *KO)
Zvino ndakati ndaziviswa kuti kwakange koda kuva nekuvandirwa kwemurume uyu neVaJudha, ndikamutumira kwamuri pakarepo, ndikarairawo vanomumhan'arira kuti vataure pamberi penyu zvavanopesana naye. Chisarai.
31 Indeed therefore [the] soldiers according to that ordered them having taken Paul brought [him] through night to Antipatris.
Zvino mauto, sezvaakarairwa akatora Pauro, akamuisa kuAntipatiri neusiku.
32 On the now next day having allowed the horsemen (to go *N+kO) with him they returned to the barracks;
Zvino chifume, vakarega vatasvi vemabhiza kuti vaende naye, vakadzokera kuimba yemauto;
33 who having entered into Caesarea and having delivered the letter to the governor presented also Paul to him.
ivo vakati vasvika kuKesariya, vakakumikidza tsamba kumutungamiriri, vakaisawo Pauro pamberi pake.
34 Having read [it] then (governor *k) and having asked from what province he is and having learned that from Cilicia [he is],
Zvino mutungamiriri wakati averenga, akabvunza kuti ndewedunhu ripi; zvino aziva kuti ndeweKirikia,
35 I will hear fully you, he was saying, when also the accusers of you may have arrived. (having commanded *N+kO) (then *k) in the Praetorium of Herod to be guarded him.
akati: Ndichakunzwa, kana vanokupomera mhosva vasvikawo; akaraira kuti achengetwe mumba maHerodhe mekutongera.
