Acts 4
1 But while they were speaking to the people, the priests and the magistrate of the temple and the Sadducees overwhelmed them,
Zvino vakati vachataura kuvanhu, vapristi nemutungamiriri wetembere neVaSadhusi vakavasvikira,
2 being grieved that they were teaching the people and announcing in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
vachishungurudzika nokuti vanodzidzisa vanhu, nekuparidza kumuka kubva kuvakafa munaJesu.
3 And they laid hands on them, and they placed them under guard until the next day. For it was now evening.
Zvino vakaisa maoko pavari ndokuisa muchitokisi kusvikira mangwana; nokuti akange atova madekwani.
4 But many of those who had heard the word believed. And the number of men became five thousand.
Asi vazhinji vevakanzwa shoko vakatenda; neuwandu hwevarume hwaiva zvuru zvinenge zvishanu.
5 And it happened on the next day that their leaders and elders and scribes gathered together in Jerusalem,
Zvino zvakaitika kuchiidza kuti kwakaungana vatungamiriri nevakuru nevanyori vavo paJerusarema,
6 including Annas, the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John and Alexander, and as many as were of the priestly family.
naAnasi mupristi mukuru, naKayafasi, naJohwani, naArekizandira, nevese vaiva vehama dzemupristi mukuru.
7 And stationing them in the middle, they questioned them: “By what power, or in whose name, have you done this?”
Zvino vakati vavamisa pakati, vakabvunza vachiti: Izvi imwi mazviita nesimba ripi kana nezita ripi?
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: “Leaders of the people and elders, listen.
Ipapo Petro azedzwe neMweya Mutsvene wakati kwavari: Vatongi vevanhu, nevakuru VaIsraeri;
9 If we today are judged by a good deed done to an infirm man, by which he has been made whole,
kana isu tichibvunzurudzwa nhasi pamusoro pebasa rakanaka kumunhu asina simba, kuti iye waponeswa nei,
10 let it be known to all of you and to all of the people of Israel, that in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God has raised from the dead, by him, this man stands before you, healthy.
ngazvizikanwe kwamuri mese, nekuvanhu vese veIsraeri, kuti nezita raJesu Kristu muNazareta, wamakaroverera pamuchinjikwa imwi, Mwari waakamutsa kubva kuvakafa, naye munhu uyu amire pano pamberi penyu apora.
11 He is the stone, which was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.
Uyu ndiye ibwe rakazvidzwa nemwi vavaki, razova musoro wekona.
12 And there is no salvation in any other. For there is no other name under heaven given to men, by which it is necessary for us to be saved.”
Uye hakuna ruponeso kune umwezve; nokuti hakuna rimwe zita pasi pedenga rakapiwa pakati pevanhu, ratinofanira kuponeswa naro.
13 Then, seeing the constancy of Peter and John, having verified that they were men without letters or learning, they wondered. And they recognized that they had been with Jesus.
Zvino vakati vachiona kusatya kwaPetro naJohwani, uye vachinzwisisa kuti vaiva vanhu vasina kudzidza uye vasina ruzivo, vakashamisika; ndokuvaziva kuti vaiva naJesu.
14 Also, seeing the man who had been cured standing with them, they were unable to say anything to contradict them.
Asi vachiona munhu wakange aporeswa amire navo, vakashaiwa chavangapikisa.
15 But they ordered them to withdraw outside, away from the council, and they conferred among themselves,
Zvino vakati vavaraira kuti vabude kunze kwedare remakurukota, vakarangana pakati pavo,
16 saying: “What shall we do to these men? For certainly a public sign has been done through them, before all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. It is manifest, and we cannot deny it.
vachiti: Tichaitei kuvanhu ava? Nokuti zviri pachena kune vese vagere Jerusarema kuti chiratidzo chinozikanwa chaitwa navo, uye hatigoni kuzviramba.
17 But lest it spread further among the people, let us threaten them not to speak anymore in this name to any man.”
Asi kuti zvirege kunyanya kuparadzirwa pakati pevanhu, ngativayambirei zvikuru kuti varege kuchizotaura nemunhu upi neupi muzita iri.
18 And calling them in, they warned them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.
Vakabva vavadana, vakavaraira kuti varege kutongotaura kana kudzidzisa muzita raJesu.
19 Yet truly, Peter and John said in response to them: “Judge whether it is just in the sight of God to listen to you, rather than to God.
Asi Petro naJohwani vakapindura vakati kwavari: Gurai, kana zvakarurama pamberi paMwari kuteerera imwi kupfuura Mwari.
20 For we are unable to refrain from speaking the things that we have seen and heard.”
Nokuti isu hatigoni kusataura zvatakaona nekunzwa.
21 But they, threatening them, sent them away, having not found a way that they might punish them because of the people. For all were glorifying the things that had been done in these events.
Zvino vakati vawedzera kuvavhundudzira, vakavaregedza, vasingawani chinhu kuti vangavaranga sei nekuda kwevanhu; nokuti vese vairumbidza Mwari pamusoro pezvakaitika.
22 For the man in whom this sign of a cure had been accomplished was more than forty years old.
Nokuti munhu wakange apfuura makore makumi mana wakange aitirwa chiratidzo ichi chekuporesa.
23 Then, having been released, they went to their own, and they reported in full what the leaders of the priests and the elders had said to them.
Vakati varegedzwa vakaenda kune vekwavo, vakanopira zvese vapristi vakuru nevakuru zvavakange vataura kwavari.
24 And when they had heard it, with one accord, they lifted up their voice to God, and they said: “Lord, you are the One who made heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them,
Zvino ivo vakati vanzwa vakasimudzira inzwi kuna Mwari nemoyo umwe, vakati: Tenzi, imwi Mwari makaita denga nenyika negungwa nezvese zviri mazviri;
25 who, by the Holy Spirit, through the mouth of our father David, your servant, said: ‘Why have the Gentiles been seething, and why have the people been pondering nonsense?
makareva nemuromo waDhavhidhi, muranda wenyu muchiti: Nemhaka yei vahedheni vachiita bope, nevanhu vachifunga zvisina maturo?
26 The kings of the earth have stood up, and the leaders have joined together as one, against the Lord and against his Christ.’
Madzimambo enyika akasimuka, nevatungamiriri vakaungana pamwe chete kumirisana naIshe nekumirisana naKristu wake.
27 For truly Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, joined together in this city against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed
Nokuti zvirokwazvo vakaungana vakamirisana neMwanakomana wenyu mutsvene Jesu, wamakazodza, vese Herodhe naPondiyo Pirato pamwe nevahedheni, nevanhu vekwaIsraeri,
28 to do what your hand and your counsel had decreed would be done.
kuti vaite zvese ruoko rwenyu nezano renyu zvamakagara matema kuti zviitike.
29 And now, O Lord, look upon their threats, and grant to your servants that they may speak your word with all confidence,
Uye ikozvino Ishe, tarirai kuvhundudzira kwavo, mupe varanda venyu kuti vataure shoko renyu nekusatya kwese,
30 by extending your hand in cures and signs and miracles, to be done through the name of your holy Son, Jesus.”
pakuti mutandavadze ruoko rwenyu pakuporesa, nezviratidzo nezvishamiso zviitwe nezita reMwanakomana wenyu mutsvene Jesu.
31 And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered was moved. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. And they were speaking the Word of God with confidence.
Zvino vakati vanyengetera nzvimbo yavakange vakaungana pairi yakazununguswa; zvino vakazadzwa vese neMweya Mutsvene, ndokutaura shoko raMwari nekusatya.
32 Then the multitude of believers were of one heart and one soul. Neither did anyone say that any of the things that he possessed were his own, but all things were common to them.
Zvino chaunga chevaitenda chaiva nemoyo nemweya umwe; uye kwakange kusina umwe waiti chimwe chezvaaiva nazvo ndechake, asi vakadyidzana zvinhu zvese.
33 And with great power, the Apostles were rendering testimony to the Resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord. And great grace was in them all.
Uye nesimba guru vaapositori vakapa uchapupu hwekumuka kwaIshe Jesu; nenyasha huru dzikava pamusoro pavo vese.
34 And neither was anyone among them in need. For as many as were owners of fields or houses, selling these, were bringing the proceeds of the things that they were selling,
Nokuti pakange pasina umwe pakati pavo waishaiwa, nokuti vese vaiva vene veminda kana dzimba, vakazvitengesa, vakauisa mutengo wezvinhu zvakatengeswa,
35 and were placing it before the feet of the Apostles. Then it was divided to each one, just as he had need.
vakaisa patsoka dzevaapositori; uye zvikagoverwa kune umwe neumwe zvichienderana nekushaiwa kwaaiva nako.
36 Now Joseph, who the Apostles surnamed Barnabas (which is translated as ‘son of consolation’), who was a Levite of Cyprian descent,
NaJose, wakatumidzwa nevaapositori Bhanabhasi, ndokuti kana zvichishandurwa, mwanakomana wenyaradzo, muRevhi weSaipuresi parudzi,
37 since he had land, he sold it, and he brought the proceeds and placed these at the feet of the Apostles.
ane munda, wakatengesa, akauisa mari akaisa patsoka dzevaapositori.
