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

¹And when, having got away from them, we at last sailed away, we came by a direct course to Cos, and on the morrow to Rhodes, and thence to Patara.

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

²And having found a ship passing over into Phoenicia, we went on board and sailed;

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

³and having sighted Cyprus, and left it on the left hand, we sailed to Syria, and made the land at Tyre, for there the ship was to discharge her cargo.

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

⁴And having found out the disciples, we remained there seven days; who said to Paul by the Spirit not to go up to Jerusalem.

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

⁵But when we had completed the days, we set out and took our journey, all of them accompanying us, with wives and children, till [we were] out of the city. And kneeling down upon the shore we prayed.

⁶Tawonekana takapinda muchikepe, asi ivo vakadzokera kwavo.

⁶And having embraced one another, we went on board ship, and they returned home.

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

⁷And we, having completed the voyage, arrived from Tyre at Ptolemais, and having saluted the brethren, we remained one day with them.

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

⁸And leaving on the morrow, we came to Caesarea; and entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was 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 stayed there many days, a certain man, by name Agabus, a prophet, came down from Judaea,

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 the girdle of Paul, and having bound his own hands and feet, said, Thus saith the Holy Spirit, The man whose this girdle is shall the Jews thus bind in Jerusalem, and deliver him up 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 those of the 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.

¹³But Paul answered, What do ye, weeping and breaking my heart? for *I* am ready not only to be bound, 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 were silent, saying, The will of the Lord be done.

¹⁵Zvino shure kwem, takarongedza, tikakwira kuJerusarema.

¹⁵And after these days, having got our effects ready, we went up to Jerusalem.

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

¹⁶And [some] of the disciples from Caesarea went with us, bringing [with them] a certain Mnason, a Cyprian, an old disciple, with whom we were to lodge.

¹⁷Zvino takati tichisvika kuJerusarema, hama dzikatigamuchira nemufaro.

¹⁷And when we arrived at Jerusalem the brethren gladly received us.

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

¹⁸And on the morrow Paul went in with us to James, and all the elders came there.

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

¹⁹And having saluted them, he related one by one the things which God had wrought among the nations by his ministry.

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

²⁰And they having heard [it] glorified God, and said to him, Thou seest, brother, how many myriads there are of the Jews who have believed, and all are zealous of 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 among the nations apostasy from Moses, saying that they should not circumcise their children, nor walk in the customs.

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

²²What is it then? a multitude must necessarily come together, for they will hear that thou art come.

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

²³This do therefore that we say to thee: We have four men who 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.

²⁴take these and be purified with them, and pay their expenses, that they may have their heads shaved; and all will know that [of those things] of which they have been informed about thee nothing is [true]; 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 concerning [those of] the nations who have believed, we have written, deciding that they should [observe no such thing, only to] keep themselves both from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from things 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, taking the men, on the next day, having been purified, entered with them into the temple, signifying the time the days of the purification would be fulfilled, 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 nearly completed, the Jews from Asia, having seen him in the temple, set all the crowd in a tumult, and laid hands upon 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, Israelites, help! this is the man who teaches all everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place, and has brought Greeks too into the temple, and profaned this holy place.

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

²⁹For they had before seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, 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 the whole city was moved, and there was a concourse of the people; and having laid hold on Paul they drew him out of the temple, and immediately 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, a representation came to the chiliarch of the band that the whole of Jerusalem was in a tumult;

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

³²who, taking with him immediately soldiers and centurions, ran down upon them. But they, seeing the chiliarch and the soldiers, ceased beating Paul.

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

³³Then the chiliarch came up and laid hold upon him, and commanded [him] to be bound with two chains, and inquired who he might be, 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 different persons cried some different thing in the crowd. But he, not being able to know the certainty on account of the uproar, commanded him to be brought into the fortress.

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

³⁵But when he got upon the stairs it was so that he was borne by the soldiers on account of the violence of the crowd.

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

³⁶For the multitude of the people followed, crying, Away with him.

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

³⁷But as he was about to be led into the fortress, Paul says to the chiliarch, Is it allowed me to say something to 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?

³⁸Thou art not then that Egyptian who before these days raised a 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, citizen of no insignificant city of Cilicia, and I beseech of thee, allow me to speak to the people.

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

⁴⁰And when he had allowed him, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people; and a great silence having been made, he addressed them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,
