Acts 8
1 Saul had pleasure in his deeth. And at yt tyme there was a great persecucion agaynst the congregacion which was at Ierusalem and they were all scattered abroade thorowout the regions of Iury and Samaria except the Apostles
Uye Sauro akanga aripo achibvumirana nokufa kwake. Nomusi uyo kutambudzwa kukuru kwakatanga pakereke yepaJerusarema, uye vose vakaparadzirwa muJudhea rose nomuSamaria, kukasara vapostori chete.
2 Then devout men dressed Steven aud made great lamentacion over him.
Varume vaitya Mwari vakaviga Sitefani uye vakamuchema zvikuru.
3 But Saul made havocke of the congregacion entrynge into every housse and drewe out bothe man and woman and thrust the into preson.
Asi Sauro akatanga kuparadza kereke. Achipinda muimba neimba, akazvuzvurudza varume navakadzi achivaisa mutorongo.
4 They that were scattered abroade went every where preachyng the worde.
Vaya vakanga vaparadzirwa vakaparidza shoko kwose kwose kwavaienda.
5 Then came Philip into a cite of Samaria and preached Christ vnto them.
Firipi akaburuka akaenda kuguta raiva muSamaria akaparidza Kristu ikoko.
6 And the people gave hede vnto those thinges which Philip spake with one acorde in that they hearde and sawe the miracles which he dyd.
Vanhu vazhinji vakati vanzwa Firipi uye vakaona zviratidzo zvaakaita, vose vakanyatsoteerera kune zvaaitaura.
7 For vnclene spretes cryinge with loude voyce came out of many that were possessed of them. And manye taken with palsies and many yt halted were healed
Nokuti mweya yetsvina yakabuda muvanhu ichidanidzira nenzwi guru, uye vazhinji vakanga vakaoma mitezo navakanga vakaremara vakaporeswa.
8 And ther was great ioye in that cite.
Nokudaro kwakava nomufaro mukuru muguta iro.
9 And ther was a certayne man called Simon which before tyme in the same cite vsed witche crafte and bewitched the people of Samarie sayinge that he was a man yt coulde do greate thinges
Zvino kwechinguva mumwe murume ainzi Simoni akanga aita unʼanga muguta uye akashamisa vanhu vose veSamaria. Aizvirumbidza achiti iye akanga ari munhu mukuru,
10 Whom they regarded from ye lest to the greatest sayinge: this felow is the great power of God.
uye vanhu vose kubva kuna vakakwirira kusvikira kuna vari pasi pasi, vaimuteerera vachiti, “Munhu uyu ndiye simba guru raMwari.”
11 And him they set moche by because of longe tyme with sorcery he had mocked the.
Vaimutevera nokuti akanga avashamisa kwenguva refu namashiripiti ake.
12 But assone as they beleved Philippes preachynge of the kyngdome of God and of the name of Iesu Christ they were baptised bothe men and wemen.
Asi vakati vatenda Firipi sezvo aiparidza vhangeri roumambo hwaMwari nezita raJesu Kristu, vakabhabhatidzwa, vose varume navakadzi.
13 Then Simon him selfe beleved also and was baptised and cotinued with Phillip and wondered beholdynge the miracles and signes which were shewed.
Simoni pachake akatenda uye akabhabhatidzwa. Uye akatevera Firipi kwose kwose, achikatyamadzwa nezviratidzo zvikuru zvaakaona.
14 When ye Apostles which were at Ierusalem hearde saye that Samaria had receaved ye worde of God: they sent vnto the Peter and Iohn
Vapostori vaiva muJerusarema vakati vanzwa kuti vaSamaria vagamuchira shoko raMwari, vakatumira Petro naJohani kwavari.
15 which when they were come prayed for the that they myght receave ye holy goost
Vakati vasvika, vakavanyengeterera kuti vagamuchire Mweya Mutsvene,
16 For as yet he was come on none of them: But they were baptised only in the name of Christ Iesu.
nokuti Mweya Mutsvene akanga asati auya pamusoro paani zvake wavo; vakanga vangobhabhatidzwa muzita raIshe Jesu.
17 Then layde they their hondes on them and they receaved the holy goost.
Ipapo Petro naJohani vakaisa maoko pamusoro pavo, vakagamuchira Mweya Mutsvene.
18 When Simo sawe that thorowe layinge on of the Apostles hondes on them the holy goost was geven: he offered the money
Simoni akati aona kuti Mweya Mutsvene waipiwa nokuiswa kwamaoko avapostori, akavapa mari
19 sayinge: Geve me also this power that on whom soever I put the hondes he maye receave the holy goost.
akati, “Ndipeiwo simba iri kuti munhu wose wandichaisa maoko pamusoro agamuchire Mweya Mutsvene.”
20 Then sayde Peter vnto him: thy monye perysh with the because thou wenest that the gifte of God maye be obteyned wt money.
Petro akapindura akati, “Mari yako ngaiparare pamwe chete newe, nokuti wafunga kuti ungatenga chipo chaMwari nemari!
21 Thou hast nether parte nor felloushippe in this busines. For thy hert is not ryght in the syght of God.
Iwe hauna chikamu kana mugove muushumiri uhu, nokuti mwoyo wako hauna kunaka pamberi paMwari.
22 Repent therfore of this thy wickednes and praye God that ye thought of thyne hert maye be forgeven the.
Tendeuka ubve pakuipa uku uye unyengetere kuna She. Zvimwe achakukanganwira pakuva nepfungwa yakadai mumwoyo mako.
23 For I perceave that thou arte full of bitter gall and wrapped in iniquite.
Nokuti ndinoona kuti iwe uzere nduru inovava uye wakasungwa nechivi.”
24 Then answered Simon and sayde: Praye ye to the lorde for me yt none of these thinges whiche ye have spoken fall on me.
Ipapo Simoni akapindura akati, “Ndinyengetererei kuna She kuti zvose zvamataura zvirege kuitika kwandiri.”
25 And they whe they had testified and preached the worde of the lorde returned toward Ierusalem and preached the gospell in many cities of the Samaritas.
Vakati vapupura uye vakaparidza shoko raShe, Petro naJohani vakadzokera kuJerusarema, vachiparidza vhangeri mumisha yakawanda yomuSamaria.
26 Then the angell of the lorde spake vnto Phillip sayinge: aryse and goo towardes mydde daye vnto ye waye yt goeth doune fro Ierusalem vnto Gaza which is in ye desert.
Zvino mutumwa waShe akati kuna Firipi, “Buruka uende zasi kumugwagwa, wokugwenga, unoburuka uchibva kuJerusarema uchienda kuGaza.”
27 And he arose and wet on. And beholde a man of Ethiopia which was a chaberlayne and of grete auctorite wt Cadace quene of ye Ethiopias and had ye rule of all her treasure came to Ierusalem for to praye.
Saka akasimuka akapinda munzira uye akasangana nomuyunaki wechiEtiopia, muchinda mukuru aichengeta pfuma yaKandase, mambokadzi weEtiopia. Murume uyu akanga aenda kundonamata kuJerusarema,
28 And as he returned home agayne sittynge in his charet he rede Esay ye prophet
uye pakudzoka kwake kumusha akanga agere mungoro achiverenga bhuku raIsaya muprofita.
29 Then ye sprete sayde vnto Phillip: Goo neare and ioyne thy selfe to yonder charet.
Mweya Mutsvene akati kuna Firipi, “Enda kungoro iyo, uswedere pedyo nayo.”
30 And Philip ranne to him and hearde him rede ye prophet Esayas and sayde: Vnderstondest thou what thou redest?
Ipapo Firipi akamhanya achienda kungoro akanzwa murume uya achiverenga kubva kuna Isaya muprofita. Firipi akati kwaari, “Uri kunzwisisa zvauri kuverenga here?”
31 And he sayd: how can I except I had a gyde? And he desyred Philip that he wold come vp and sit wt him.
Iye akati, “Ndinganzwisisa seiko kana pasina munhu anonditsanangurira?” Saka akadana Firipi kuti akwire mungoro agare nayemo.
32 The tenoure of ye scripture which he redde was this. He was ledde as a shepe to be slayne: and lyke a lambe dome before his sherer so opened he not his mouth.
Muyunaki uyu aiverenga chitsauko ichi choRugwaro: “Akatungamirirwa segwai raindobayiwa, uye segwayana rinyerere pamberi pomuveuri, saka haana kushamisa muromo wake.
33 Because of his humblenes he was not estemed: who shall declare his generacio? for his lyfe is taken fro the erthe.
Mukuninipiswa kwake akashayiwa kururamisirwa. Ndianiko angataura nezvezvizvarwa zvake? Nokuti upenyu hwake hwakabviswa panyika.”
34 The chamberlayne answered Philip and sayde: I praye the of whom speaketh the Prophet this? of him selfe or of some other man?
Muyunaki uyu akabvunza Firipi akati, “Ndapota, ndiudze, muprofita ari kutaura pamusoro paaniko, anozvireva iye kana mumwe munhuwo?”
35 And Philip opened his mouth and beganne at ye same scripture and preached vnto him Iesus.
Ipapo Firipi akatanga nechitsauko ichocho choRugwaro akamuparidzira vhangeri raJesu.
36 And as they went on their waye they came vnto a certayne water and the chamberlayne sayde: Se here is water what shall let me to be baptised?
Zvavakanga vachifamba nomugwagwa, vakasvika pakanga pane mvura saka muyunaki akati, “Tarirai, heino mvura. Chingandikonesa kubhabhatidzwa chiiko?”
37 Philip sayde vnto him: Yf thou beleve with all thyne hert thou mayst. He answered and sayde: I beleve that Iesus Christe is the sonne of God.
Uye Firipi akati, “Kana uchitenda nomwoyo wako wose, zvinogoneka.” Iye akapindura akati, “Ndinotenda kuti Jesu Kristu ndiye Mwanakomana waMwari.”
38 And he comaunded the charet to stonde still. And they went doune bothe into the water: bothe Philip and also the chamberlayne and he baptised him.
Akarayira kuti ngoro imiswe. Ipapo vose vari vaviri, Firipi nomuyunaki vakapinda mumvura, Firipi akamubhabhatidza.
39 And assone as they were come out of the water the sprete of the lorde caught awaye Philip yt the chamberlayne sawe him no moore. And he wet on his waye reioysinge:
Vakati vabuda mumvura, Mweya waShe wakatora Firipi pakarepo, uye muyunaki haana kuzomuonazve, asi akafamba munzira yake achifara kwazvo.
40 but Philip was founde at Azotus. And he walked thorow out ye countre preachynge in their cities tyll he came to Cesarea.
Zvakadaro hazvo, Firipi akazoonekwa paAzotasi uye akafamba achiparidza vhangeri mumaguta ose kusvikira asvika kuKesaria.
