¹Zvino Petro naJohwani vakakwira pamwe kuenda kutembere paawa rekunyengetera repfumbamwe.

¹And Peter and John were going up at the same time to the temple, at the hour of the prayer, the ninth [hour],

²Zvino kwaitakurwa umwe murume waiva chirema kubva mudumbu ramai vake; wavaiisa zuva rimwe nerimwe pamusuwo wetembere unonzi Wakanaka, kuti akumbire chipo kune vaipinda mutembere.

²and a certain man, being lame from the womb of his mother, was being carried, whom they were laying every day at the gate of the temple, called Beautiful, to ask a kindness from those entering into the temple,

³Iye wakati achiona Petro naJohwani voda kupinda mutembere, akakumbira chipo.

³who, having seen Peter and John about to go into the temple, was begging to receive a kindness.

⁴Zvino Petro akamudzvokora anaJohwani, akati: Titarire!

⁴And Peter, having looked stedfastly toward him with John, said, `Look toward us;`

⁵Akavacherekedza, achitarisira kugamuchira chinhu kwavari.

⁵and he was giving heed to them, looking to receive something from them;

⁶Petro ndokuti: Sirivheri nendarama handina; asi icho chandinacho ndinokupa: Muzita raJesu Kristu muNazareta, simuka ufambe.

⁶and Peter said, `Silver and gold I have none, but what I have, that I give to thee; in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and be walking.`

⁷Akamubata ruoko rwerudyi akamusimudza; zvino pakarepo tsoka nezviziso zvetsoka dzake zvikasimbiswa.

⁷And having seized him by the right hand, he raised [him] up, and presently his feet and ankles were strengthened,

⁸Zvino akauruka akamira ndokufamba, ndokupinda navo mutembere, achifamba nekuuruka nekurumbidza Mwari.

⁸and springing up, he stood, and was walking, and did enter with them into the temple, walking and springing, and praising God;

⁹Uye vanhu vose vakamuona achifamba, nekurumbidza Mwari.

⁹and all the people saw him walking and praising God,

¹⁰Vakaziva kuti ndiye waigarira chipo pamukova Wakanaka wetembere; vakazadzwa nekushamisika nekukatyamara nezvakange zvaitika kwaari.

¹⁰they were knowing him also that this it was who for a kindness was sitting at the Beautiful gate of the temple, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what hath happened to him.

¹¹Zvino waikamhina wakange aporeswa achakabatira Petro naJohwani, vanhu vose vakamhanyira pamwe kwavari paberere rinonzi raSoromoni, vachishamisika zvikuru.

¹¹And at the lame man who was healed holding Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch called Solomon`s — greatly amazed,

¹²Zvino Petro wakati achizviona akapindura kuvanhu achiti: Varume vaIsraeri, mashamisika sei pamusoro pezvizvi, kana munotidzvokora sei, sezvinonzi nesimba kana utsvene hwedu pachedu taita uyu kuti afambe?

¹²and Peter having seen, answered unto the people, `Men, Israelites! why wonder ye at this? or on us why look ye so earnestly, as if by our own power or piety we have made him to walk?

¹³Mwari waAbhurahamu newaIsaka newaJakobho, Mwari wemadzibaba edu, wakudza Mwanakomana wake Jesu; wamakakumikidza imwi kuvatongi nekumuramba pamberi pechiso chaPirato, iye agura kumusunungura.

¹³`The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, did glorify His child Jesus, whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, he having given judgment to release [him],

¹⁴Asi imwi makaramba Mutsvene neWakarurama, mukakumbira murume mhondi kuti ipiwe kwamuri,

¹⁴and ye the Holy and Righteous One did deny, and desired a man — a murderer — to be granted to you,

¹⁵mukauraya Muvambi weupenyu; iye Mwari waakamutsa kuvakafa; zvatiri zvapupu zvazvo isu.

¹⁵and the Prince of the life ye did kill, whom God did raise out of the dead, of which we are witnesses;

¹⁶Uye nerutendo kuzita rake, uyu wamunoona uye wamunoziva, zita rake ramusimbisa; nerutendo rwuri nemaari rwamupa kuporeswa uku kwakazara pamberi penyu mose.

¹⁶and on the faith of his name, this one whom ye see and have known, his name made strong, even the faith that [is] through him did give to him this perfect soundness before you all.

¹⁷Uye ikozvino, hama, ndinoziva kuti makaita nekusaziva, sevatongi venyuwo.

¹⁷`And now, brethren, I have known that through ignorance ye did [it], as also your rulers;

¹⁸Asi zvinhu izvo Mwari zvaakagara areva nemuromo wevaporofita vake vose, kuti Kristu uchatambudzika, wakazvizadzisa saizvozvi.

¹⁸and God, what things before He had declared through the mouth of all His prophets, that the Christ should suffer, He did thus fulfil;

¹⁹Naizvozvo tendeukai mudzoke, kuti zvivi zvenyu zvidzimwe, kuti nguva dzekufefeterwa dzinobva pamberi pechiso chaIshe dzisvike,

¹⁹reform ye, therefore, and turn back, for your sins being blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,

²⁰uye uchatuma Jesu Kristu, wakagara aparidzirwa kwamuri;

²⁰and He may send Jesus Christ who before hath been preached to you,

²¹wakafanira kuti denga rimugamuchire kusvikira nguva dzekuvandudzwa kwezvinhu zvose, Mwari dzaakareva nemuromo wevaporofita vake vatsvene vose kubva panguva dzakare.

²¹whom it behoveth heaven, indeed, to receive till times of a restitution of all things, of which God spake through the mouth of all His holy prophets from the age.

²²Nekuti Mozisi zvirokwazvo wakati kumadzibaba: Ishe Mwari wenyu uchakumutsirai muporofita pahama dzenyu, wakafanana neni; iye muchamuteerera pazvose zvaachataura kwamuri.

²²`For Moses, indeed, unto the fathers said — A prophet to you shall the Lord your God raise up out of your brethren, like to me; him shall ye hear in all things, as many as he may speak unto you;

²³Uye zvichaitika, mweya umwe neumwe ucharega kuteerera muporofita uyo uchaparadzwa kubva pavanhu.

²³and it shall be, every soul that may not hear that prophet shall be utterly destroyed out of the people;

²⁴Uye nevaporofita vose kubva kuna Samueri nevakatevera, vose vakataura, vakagara vaparidzawo zvemazuva awa.

²⁴and also all the prophets from Samuel and those following in order, as many as spake, did also foretell of these days.

²⁵Imwi muri vana vevaporofita, nevesungano Mwari yaakaita nemadzibaba edu, achiti kuna Abhurahamu: Nemumbeu yako marudzi ose enyika acharopafadzwa.

²⁵`Ye are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant that God made unto our fathers, saying unto Abraham: And in thy seed shall be blessed all the families of the earth;

²⁶Mwari amutsa Mwanakomana wake Jesu, wakamutuma kwamuri pakutanga kukuropafadzai, pakudzora umwe neumwe pazvakaipa zvake.

²⁶to you first, God, having raised up His child Jesus, did send him, blessing you, in the turning away of each one from your evil ways.`
