¹Zvino zvakaitika kuti taparadzana navo, tikabva nechikepe, tikarurama muKose, fume muRodhe, tikabvapo, tikasvika Patara;

¹And when it came to pass that were parted from them and had set sail, we came with a straight course unto Cos, and the next day unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:

²tikati tawana chikepe, chaiyambukira Fonisiya, tikapinda, tikaenda nechikepe.

²and having found a ship crossing over unto Phoenicia, we went aboard, and set sail.

³Takati toona Saipuresi, tikaisiya kuruoko rweruboshwe, tichienda Siria nechikepe, tikamhara paTire; nekuti chikepe chaifanira kututunura mutoro wacho ipapo;

³And when we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed unto Syria, and landed at Tyre; for there the ship was to unlade her burden.

⁴zvino takati tawana vadzidzi, tikagarapo mazuva manomwe; ivo vakati kubudikidza nemweya kuna Pauro arege kukwira kuJerusarema.

⁴And having found the disciples, we tarried there seven days: and these said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not set foot in Jerusalem.

⁵Zvino takati tapedza mazuva iwayo takabuda tikaenda; uye vose vakatiperekedza nevakadzi nevana, kusvikira kunze kweguta; ipapo tikafugama pamahombekombe tikanyengetera.

⁵And when it came to pass that we had accomplished the days, we departed and went on our journey; and they all, with wives and children, brought us on our way till we were out of the city: and kneeling down on the beach, we prayed, and bade each other farewell;

⁶Tawonekana takapinda muchikepe, asi ivo vakadzokera kwavo.

⁶and we went on board the ship, but they returned home again.

⁷Isu takati tapedza rwendo kubva Tire, tikasvika Pitoremai, tikakwazisa hama, tikagara navo zuva rimwe.

⁷And when we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais; and we saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.

⁸Zvino fume isu taiva veboka raPauro tikabva, tikasvika Kesariya; zvino tikapinda mumba maFiripi muevhangeri, waiva umwe wevanomwe, tikagara naye.

⁸And on the morrow we departed, and came unto Caesarea: and entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, we abode with him.

⁹Iyeyu wakange ane vakunda vana, mhandara dzaiporofita.

⁹Now this man had four virgin daughters, who prophesied.

¹⁰Zvino takati tichigarap mazuva mazhinji, kwakauya kubva Judhiya umwe muporofita wainzi Agabhusi,

¹⁰And as we tarried there some days, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus.

¹¹uye wakati asvika kwatiri, akatora bhanhire raPauro, akazvisunga makumbo nemaoko, akati: Mweya Mutsvene unoreva kudai: Saizvozvo vaJudha paJerusarema vachasunga murume, mwene webhanhire iri, nekumuisa mumaoko avahedheni.

¹¹And coming to us, and taking Paul's girdle, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, Thus saith the Holy Spirit, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.

¹²Zvino takati tichinzwa zvinhu izvi, isu tose nevenzvimbo iyo tikamukumbirisa kuti arege kukwira kuJerusarema.

¹²And when we heard these things, both we and they of that place besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.

¹³Asi Pauro akapindura, akati; Munoitei, muchichema nekuodza moyo wangu? Nekuti ini ndakagadzirira kwete kusungwa chete, asi nekufa paJerusarema nekuda kwezita raIshe Jesu.

¹³Then Paul answered, What do ye, weeping and breaking my heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.

¹⁴Zvino wakati achiramba kudzorwa, tikanyarara tikati: Kuda kwaIshe ngakuitwe.

¹⁴And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.

¹⁵Zvino shure kwem, takarongedza, tikakwira kuJerusarema.

¹⁵And after these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.

¹⁶Nevamwe vadzidzi veKesariya vakaenda nesu, uye vakauya neumwe Minaasoni weSaipuresi, mudzidzi wakare watainogara naye.

¹⁶And there went with us also [certain] of the disciples from Caesarea, bringing [with them] one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we should lodge.

¹⁷Zvino takati tichisvika kuJerusarema, hama dzikatigamuchira nemufaro.

¹⁷And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.

¹⁸Fume Pauro akapinda nesu kuna Jakobho; nevakuru vose vakange varipo.

¹⁸And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.

¹⁹Zvino wakati avakwazisa, ndokuvarondedzera chimwe nechimwe chezvinhu zvakaitwa naMwari pakati pevahedheni nekushumira kwake.

¹⁹And when he had saluted them, he rehearsed one by one the things which God had wrought among the Gentiles through his ministry.

²⁰Ivo vakati vachizvinzwa, vakakudza Ishe, vakati kwaari: Unoona, hama, kuti zvuru zvingani zvevaJudha vanotenda; vose vanoshingairira murairo;

²⁰And they, when they heard it, glorified God; and they said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of them that have believed; and they are all zealous for the law:

²¹zvino vakaudzwa nezvako kuti iwe unodzidzisa vaJudha vose vari pakati pevahedheni kuti vasiye Mozisi, uchiti varege kudzingisa vana, kana kufamba netsika.

²¹and they have been informed concerning thee, that thou teachest all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children neither to walk after the customs.

²²Zvino chii? Zvirokwazvo zvakafanira kuti chaunga chiungane, nekuti vachanzwa kuti wasvika.

²²What is it therefore? They will certainly hear that thou art come.

²³Naizvozvo ita izvi zvatinotaura kwauri: Tine varume vana vane mhiko;

²³Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men that have a vow on them;

²⁴zvino uvatore, uzvinatse pamwe navo, uvaripire kuti vaveure misoro; kuti vose vazive kuti zvose zvavakaudzwa maererano newe hapana zviripo; asi iwewo pachako unofamba zvakanaka uchichengeta murairo.

²⁴these take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges for them, that they may shave their heads: and all shall know that there is no truth in the things whereof they have been informed concerning thee; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, keeping the law.

²⁵Asi maererano nevahedheni vanotenda, takavanyorera nekutema kuti vasachengeta zvinhu zvakadai, kunze kwekuti vazvidzore pane zvakabayirwa zvifananidzo, neropa nezvakadzipwa neupombwe.

²⁵But as touching the Gentiles that have believed, we wrote, giving judgment that they should keep themselves from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from fornication.

²⁶Ipapo Pauro akatora varume avo zuva raitevera, akazvinatsa pamwe navo, akapinda mutembere kuti azivise kupera kwemazuva okunatsa, kusvikira kwabairwa chibairo cheumwe neumwe.

²⁶Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them went into the temple, declaring the fulfilment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every one of them.

²⁷Zvino mazuva manomwe akati opera, vaJudha vaibva Asia vakamuona mutembere, vakamutsa vanhu vose vakaisa maoko kwaari.

²⁷And when the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the multitude and laid hands on him,

²⁸vakadanidzira, vachiti: Varume vaIsraeri, batsirai! Uyu ndiye munhu unodzidzisa vose kose-kose zvinopesana nevanhu, nemurairo, nenzvimbo ino, pamusoro pazvo unouisa vaGiriki mutembere, achisvibisa nzvimbo ino tsvene.

²⁸crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man that teacheth all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place; and moreover he brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath defiled this holy place.

²⁹Nekuti vakange vamboona Trofimo muEfeso anaye muguta, wavaifungidzira kuti Pauro wakamuuisa mutembere.

²⁹For they had before seen with him in the city Trophimus the Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.

³⁰Neguta rose rakanyonganiswa, vanhu vakamhanyira pamwe; vakabata Pauro, vakamukwevera kunze kwetembere, mikova ikazarirwa pakarepo.

³⁰And all the city was moved, and the people ran together; and they laid hold on Paul, and dragged him out of the temple: and straightway the doors were shut.

³¹Zvino vakati vachitsvaka kumuuraya, shoko rikakwira kumukuru wechuru chemazana chehondo, kuti Jerusarema rose ranyonganiswa.

³¹And as they were seeking to kill him, tidings came up to the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in confusion.

³²Iye pakarepo akatora mauto nevakuru vezana, akaburuka achimhanyira kwavari. Ivo vakati vachiona mukuru wechuru chemazana nemauto, vakarega kurova Pauro.

³²And forthwith he took soldiers and centurions, and ran down upon them: and they, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, left off beating Paul.

³³Zvino mukuru wechuru chemazana akaswedera, akamubata, ndokuraira kuti asungwe nemaketani maviri; akabvunza kuti wainzi ani, uye kuti waitei.

³³Then the chief captain came near, and laid hold on him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and inquired who he was, and what he had done.

³⁴Zvino vamwe pakati pevazhinji vakadanidzira chimwe chinhu, vamwe chimwe; zvino iye asingagoni kuziva chokwadi noekuda kwenyonganyonga, akaraira kuti vamuise kuimba yemauto.

³⁴And some shouted one thing, some another, among the crowd: and when he could not know the certainty for the uproar, he commanded him to be brought into the castle.

³⁵Wakati achisvika pamitanho, akaita zvekutakurwa nemauto nekuda kwebongozozo rechaunga;

³⁵And when he came upon the stairs, so it was that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the crowd;

³⁶nekuti chaunga chevanhu chakatevera, chichidanidzira, chichiti: Mubvisei!

³⁶for the multitude of the people followed after, crying out, Away with him.

³⁷Zvino Pauro oda kupinzwa muimba yemauto wakati kumukuru wechuru: Ko ndingataura nemwi here? Iye akati: Unoziva chiGiriki here?

³⁷And as Paul was about to be brought into the castle, he saith unto the chief captain, May I say something unto thee? And he said, Dost thou know Greek?

³⁸Ko hausi uya muEgipita wakadeya kumutsa bongozozo pamazuva apfuura here; akaendesa murenje zvuru zvina zvevarume vaiva mhondi?

³⁸Art thou not then the Egyptian, who before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?

³⁹Asi Pauro wakati: Ini ndiri munhu muJudha weTaso muKirikia, munhu weguta risiri duku. Zvino ndinokukumbirai: Nditenderei kutaura kuvanhu.

³⁹But Paul said, I am a Jew, of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and I beseech thee, give me leave to speak unto the people.

⁴⁰Zvino wakati amutendera, Pauro akamira pamitanho akaninira kuvanhu neruoko; zvino vakati vanyarara kwazvo, akataura kwavari nerurimi rwechiHebheru achiti:

⁴⁰And when he had given him leave, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with the hand unto the people; and when there was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew language, saying,
