¹Zvino zvakaitika paIkoniyamu, vakapinda pamwe musinagoge revaJudha, vakataura zvokuti chaunga chikuru chevaJudha nechevaGiriki chakatenda.

¹It happened in Iconium that they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude both of Jews and of Greeks believed.

²Asi vaJudha vasingatendi vakamutsa nekuipisa moyo yevahedheni kuvapesanisa nehama.

²But the disbelieving or, disobedient Jews stirred up and embittered the souls of the Gentiles against the brothers.

³Naizvozvo vakagara nguva refu vachitaura vakashinga muna Ishe unopupurira shoko renyasha dzake, uye unovapa kuita zviratidzo nezvishamiso nemaoko avo.

³Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who testified to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

⁴Asi chaunga cheguta chakakamurwa; vamwe ndokuva nevaJudha, vamwe nevaapositori.

⁴But the multitude of the city was divided. Part sided with the Jews, and part with the apostles.

⁵Zvino kwakati kwava nekushusha kwevahedheni nekwevaJudhawo nevatungamiriri vavo, kuvabata zvakaipa nekuvataka nemabwe,

⁵When some of both the Gentiles and the Jews, with their rulers, made a violent attempt to mistreat and stone them,

⁶vakati vazviziva, vakatizira kumaguta eRikaonia, Ristra neDhebhe, nekudunhu rakapoteredza;

⁶they became aware of it, and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, Derbe, and the surrounding region.

⁷neipapo vakaparidza evhangeri.

⁷There they preached the Good News.

⁸Zvino paRistra paigara umwe murume wakange asina simba patsoka dzake, ari chirema kubva padumbu ramai vake, asina kutongofamba.

⁸At Lystra a certain man sat, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked.

⁹Uyo wakanzwa Pauro achitaura; iye akamutarisisa, akaona kuti une rutendo kuti aporeswe,

⁹He was listening to Paul speaking, who, fastening eyes on him, and seeing that he had faith to be made whole,

¹⁰akati nenzwi guru: Simuka, uti tasa netsoka dzako. Zvino akakwakuka akafamba.

¹⁰said with a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet!” He leaped up and walked.

¹¹Zvino zvaunga, zvakati zvaona Pauro zvaakange aita, zvakasimudza manzwi azvo zvichiti nerurimi rwechiRikaonia: Vamwari vaburukira kwatiri vakafanana nevanhu.

¹¹When the multitude saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, saying in the language of Lycaonia, “The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!”

¹²Bhanabhasi vakamutumidzawo Zeusi, naPauro Hemesi, nekuti ndiye waiva mutungamiriri wekutaura.

¹²They called Barnabas “Jupiter,” and Paul “Mercury,” because he was the chief speaker.

¹³Zvino mupristi waZeusi waiva pamberi peguta ravo, wakauisa nzombe nezvishongo pamisuwo, achida kubayira pamwe nechaunga.

¹³The priest of Jupiter, whose temple was in front of their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and would have made a sacrifice along with the multitudes.

¹⁴Asi vaapositori Bhanabhasi naPauro vakati vanzwa, vakabvarura nguvo dzavo, vakamhanyira pakati pechaunga, vachidanidzira,

¹⁴But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they tore their clothes, and sprang into the multitude, crying out,

¹⁵ndokuti: Varume, munoitirei zvinhu izvi? Isuwo tiri vanhu vane manzwiro mamwe nemwi, tinokuparidzirai mashoko akanaka kuti pane izvozvi zvisina maturo mutendeukire kuna Mwari mupenyu, wakaita denga nepasi negungwa nezvinhu zvose zviri mazviri.

¹⁵“Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to the living God, who made the sky and the earth and the sea, and all that is in them;

¹⁶Iye pamazera akapfuura wakatendera vahedheni vose kufamba nenzira dzavo.

¹⁶who in the generations gone by allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways.

¹⁷Zvakadaro haana kuzvisiya asina uchapupu, pakuti wakaita zvakanaka nekutipa mvura kubva kudenga nenguva dzezvibereko, achizadza moyo yedu nechikafu nemufaro.

¹⁷Yet he didn’t leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you TR reads “us” instead of “you” rains from the sky and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”

¹⁸Zvino vachitaura zvinhu izvi, zvairema kwazvo kugumisa zvaunga kubayira kwavari.

¹⁸Even saying these things, they hardly stopped the multitudes from making a sacrifice to them.

¹⁹Asi kwakasvika vaJudha vakabva Andiyokiya neIkoniyamu, vanyengetedza zvaunga, zvino vakati vataka Pauro nemabwe, vakamukwevera kunze kweguta, vachiti wafa.

¹⁹But some Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there, and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.

²⁰Asi vadzidzi vakati vamuunganira, akasimuka akapinda muguta; zvino chifume akasimuka naBhanabhasi akaenda kuDhebhe.

²⁰But as the disciples stood around him, he rose up, and entered into the city. On the next day he went out with Barnabas to Derbe.

²¹Vakati vaparidzawo evhangeri kuguta iro, uye vaita vazhinji vadzidzi, vakadzokera kuRistra neIkoniyamu neAndiyokiya,

²¹When they had preached the Good News to that city, and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,

²²vachisimbisa mweya yevadzidzi, vachivakurudzira kurambira parutendo, uye kuti tinofanira kupinda muushe hwaMwari nemumatambudziko mazhinji.

²²confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must enter into the Kingdom of God.

²³Zvino vakati vavagadzira vakuru pakereke imwe neimwe, vanyengetera nekutsanya, vakavakumikidza kuna Ishe, wavaitenda kwaari.

²³When they had appointed elders for them in every assembly, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they had believed.

²⁴Zvino vakati vagura nePisidhiya vakasvika Pamufiriya.

²⁴They passed through Pisidia, and came to Pamphylia.

²⁵Uye vakati vaparidza shoko paPega, vakaburukira Ataria;

²⁵When they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.

²⁶vakabvapo nechikepe vakaenda kuAndiyokiya, apo pavakange vakumikidzwa munyasha dzaMwari kubata basa ravakange vapedzisa.

²⁶From there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.

²⁷Vakatiwo vasvika vakaunganidza kereke, vakarondedzera zvose Mwari zvakange aita kubudikidza navo, uye kuti wakange azarurira sei mukova werutendo vahedheni.

²⁷When they had arrived, and had gathered the assembly together, they reported all the things that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith to the nations.

²⁸Ipapo vakagara nguva isati iri pfupi nevadzidzi.

²⁸They stayed there with the disciples for a long time.
