Acts 8
1 Saul now was there consenting to the killing of him. Arose then on that [very] day a persecution great against the church which [was] in Jerusalem; All (then *N+kO) were scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria except the apostles.
Zvino Sauro wakange achitenderana nerufu rwake. Zvino pazuva iro kwamuka kushushwa kukuru kwakanangana nekereke yaiva paJerusarema; vese ndokuparadzirwa kunyika dzese dzeJudhiya neSamaria, kunze kwevaapositori.
2 Buried now Stephen men devout and (they made *N+kO) lamentation great over him.
Varume vaitya Mwari vakaviga Sitefano, vakamuchema zvikuru.
3 Saul however was destroying the church by houses entering, dragging off then men and women he was delivering [them] to prison.
Asi Sauro wakaparadza kereke, achipinda muimba imwe neimwe, achikakata varume nevakadzi nekukumikidza mutirongo.
4 Those indeed therefore having been scattered they went about evangelising the word.
Naizvozvo avo vakange vaparadzirwa vakagura vachiparidza shoko.
5 Philip now having gone down to (the *no) city of Samaria was proclaiming to them the Christ.
Firipi ndokuburukira kuguta reSamaria, akaparidza Kristu kwavari.
6 Were giving heed (now *N+kO) the crowds to the [things] being spoken by Philip with one accord in the [time] to hear them and to see the signs that he was performing;
Zvaunga ndokuteerera nemoyo umwe kuzvinhu zvinotaurwa naFiripi, pavakanzwa nekuona zviratidzo zvaaiita.
7 (many *N+kO) for of those having spirits unclean crying voice in a loud (were coming out, *N+kO) many now paralyzed and lame were healed;
Nokuti mweya yetsvina yakabuda kuvazhinji vaiva vakabatwa, ichidanidzira nenzwi guru; nevazhinji vakange vakafa mitezo nevaikamhina vakaporeswa.
8 (and *k) There was (then *no) (much *N+kO) joy in the city that.
Zvino kwakava nemufaro mukuru muguta iro.
9 A man now certain named Simon was formerly in the city practicing sorcery and amazing the people of Samaria declaring to be someone himself great;
Zvino umwe murume, wainzi Simoni, waimboita un'anga paguta, achishamisa rudzi rweSamaria, achizviti munhu mukuru;
10 to whom were giving heed all from small until great saying; This [one] is the power of God which (is called *NO) Great.
wavaiteerera vese kubva kumudiki kusvika kumukuru, vachiti: Uyu isimba guru raMwari.
11 They were giving heed now to him because the long time with the magic arts to have amazed them;
Zvino vaimuteerera, nokuti wakange avashamisa neun'anga nguva refu.
12 When however they believed Philip evangelising concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized men both and women.
Zvino vakati vatenda Firipi achiparidza mashoko akanaka nezveushe hwaMwari uye nezvezita raJesu Kristu, vakabhabhatidzwa vese varume nevakadzi.
13 And Simon also himself believed, and having been baptized he was steadfastly continuing with Philip, Beholding then [the] signs and miracles great being performed he was amazed.
NaSimoniwo pachake wakatenda, zvino wakati abhabhatidzwa, wakagara naFiripi; akashamisika, achiona mabasa esimba nezviratidzo zvaiitwa.
14 Having heard now the in Jerusalem apostles that has received Samaria the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John;
Zvino vaapositori vaiva paJerusarema vakati vanzwa kuti Samaria yagamuchira shoko raMwari, vakatumira kwavari Petro naJohwani;
15 who having come down they prayed for them that they may receive [the] Spirit Holy.
ivo vakati vaburukirako vakavanyengeterera, kuti vagamuchire Mweya Mutsvene;
16 (Not yet *N+kO) for He was upon none of them having fallen, only however baptized they were being into the name of the (Lord *NK+O) Jesus.
nokuti wakange asati aburukira pamusoro peumwe wavo, asi vakange vabhabhatidzwa muzita raIshe Jesu chete.
17 Then they were laying the hands upon them and they were receiving [the] Spirit Holy.
Ipapo vakaisa maoko pamusoro pavo, zvino vakagamuchira Mweya Mutsvene.
18 (having seen *N+kO) now of Simon that through the laying on of the hands of the apostles was given the Spirit (holy *KO) he offered to them money
Zvino Simoni wakati aona kuti nekuiswa kwemaoko evaapositori Mweya Mutsvene waipiwa, akavavigira mari,
19 saying; do give also to me also to me authority this, that on whom (when *N+kO) I shall lay the hands he may receive [the] Spirit Holy.
achiti: Ndipei neni simba iri, kuti pana ani nani wandinoisa maoko pamusoro, agamuchire Mweya Mutsvene.
20 Peter however said to him; The silver of you with you would [that] it be to destruction, because the gift of God you thought through money to be obtained!
Asi Petro wakati kwaari: Sirivheri yako pamwe newe ngazvive zvekuparadzwa, nokuti wafunga kuti chipo chaMwari chingawanikwa nemari.
21 No there is to you part nor lot in matter this; the for heart of you not is right (before *N+kO) God.
Hauna mugove kana nhaka pashoko iri. Nokuti moyo wako hauna kururama pamberi paMwari.
22 do repent therefore of the wickedness of yours this and do pray earnestly to the (Lord, *N+KO) if indeed will be forgiven you the intent of the heart of you.
Naizvozvo tendeuka pakuipa kwako uku, ukumbirise Mwari, kuti zvimwe murangariro wemoyo wako uukanganwirwe.
23 in for [the] gall of bitterness and [the] bond of iniquity I see you being.
Nokuti ndinoona kuti uri munduru inovava, uye musungo weuipi.
24 Answering now Simon said; do pray earnestly you yourselves on behalf of me to the Lord, so that nothing may come upon me myself of which you have spoken.
Zvino Simoni akapindura akati: Ndikumbirirei imwi kuna Ishe, kuti pasava nechimwe chezvinhu zvamataura chingawira pamusoro pangu.
25 They indeed therefore having earnestly testified and having spoken the word of the Lord (were travelling back *N+kO) to Jerusalem, to many then villages of the Samaritans (they were evangelising. *N+kO)
Naizvozvo vakati vapupura nekutaura shoko raIshe, vakadzokera kuJerusarema, uye vakaparidza evhangeri mumisha mizhinji yeVaSamaria.
26 An angel now of [the] Lord spoke to Philip saying; do rise up and do go toward [the] south to the road which is going down from Jerusalem to Gaza; This is [the] desert [road].
Zvino mutumwa waIshe wakataura kuna Firipi, achiti: Simuka, upfuurire kuchamhembe kunzira inoburuka kubva kuJerusarema ichienda kuGaza; iyo irenje.
27 And having risen up he went; And behold a man an Ethiopian a eunuch a potentate of Candace (the *k) queen of Ethiopians, who was over all the treasure of her, who had come to then worship to Jerusalem,
Zvino wakasimuka akaenda; zvino tarira murume weEtiopia, mutenwa, gurukota guru raKandase mambokadzi weVaEtiopia, waiona nezvefuma yake yese, uye wakange auya kuJerusarema kuzonamata,
28 he was (then *NK+o) returning and sitting in the chariot of him and he was reading the prophet Isaiah.
wakange achidzokera uye agere mungoro yake, achiverenga muporofita Isaya.
29 Said then the Spirit to Philip; do go near and do be joined to the chariot this [one].
Mweya ndokuti kuna Firipi: Swedera unamatire pangoro iyi.
30 Having run up then Philip heard when he is reading Isaiah the prophet and said; Surely not also understand you what you are reading?
Firipi ndokumhanyirako, akamunzwa achiverenga muporofita Isaya, ndokuti: Zvino unonzwisisa zvaunoverenga here?
31 And he said; How for maybe would I be able only unless someone (will guide *N+kO) me? He invited then Philip having come up to sit with him.
Iye ndokuti: Zvino ndingagona sei, kunze kwekuti umwe munhu andirairira? Zvino akakumbira Firipi kuti akwire agare naye.
32 Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this: As a sheep to slaughter He was led, and as a lamb before the [one who] (shearing *N+kO) him [is] silent, so not He opens the mouth of Him.
Zvino ndima yerugwaro yaaiverenga yaiva iyi: Wakatungamirirwa segwai rinoenda kunobaiwa; uye segwayana rinyerere pamberi pemuvevuri waro, saizvozvo haana kushamisa muromo wake.
33 In the humiliation of Him justice from Him was taken away, The (now *k) generation of Him who will describe? For is removed from the earth the life of Him.
Mukuninipiswa kwake mutongo wake wakabviswa, zvino ndiani acharondedzera zera rake? Nokuti upenyu hwake hunobviswa panyika.
34 Answering now the eunuch to Philip said; I pray you, concerning whom the prophet says this? Concerning himself, or concerning other some?
Mutenwa ndokupindura Firipi akati: Ndinokukumbirisa, muporofita anoreva izvi maererano nani? Nezvake amene kana nezveumwewo?
35 Having opened then Philip the mouth of him and having begun from Scripture this he evangelised to him [about] Jesus.
Firipi ndokuzarura muromo wake; akatanga parugwaro irworwo, ndokumuparidzira Jesu.
36 As then they were going along the road, they came upon some water and says the eunuch; Behold water; what prevents me to be baptized?
Zvino pavaifamba munzira, vakasvika pane imwe mvura; mutenwa ndokuti: Heyi mvura; chii chinondidzivirira kubhabhatidzwa?
37 (said now Philip: if believe you from all the heart it is lawful. answering now said: I believe the son of God to be Jesus Christ. *K)
Firipi ndokuti: Kana uchitenda nemoyo wese, zvinotenderwa. Akapindura ndokuti: Ndinotenda kuti Jesu Kristu Mwanakomana waMwari.
38 And he commanded to stop the chariot, And they went down both to the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.
Zvino akaraira ngoro kuti imire; ndokuburukira mumvura vari vaviri, Firipi nemutenwa; ndokumubhabhatidza.
39 When now they came up out of the water, [the] Spirit of [the] Lord carried away Philip, and not saw him no longer no longer the eunuch; he was going for the way of him rejoicing.
Zvino vakati vakwira kubva mumvura, Mweya waIshe wakabvuta Firipi; mutenwa ndokusazomuonazve; nokuti wakafamba nenzira yake achifara.
40 Philip however was found at Azotus, and passing through he was evangelising to the towns all until coming of him to Caesarea.
Asi Firipi wakawanikwa paAzota; uye achipfuura wakaparidza evhangeri kumaguta ese, kusvikira asvika paKesariya.
