¹Zvino zuva rePendekosita* rakati razadzisika, vose vakange vari pamwe nemoyo umwe.

¹Now when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all with one accord in one place.

²Pakarepo kwakauya mutinhiro kubva kudenga sokwemhepo inovhuvhuta nesimba, ndokuzadza imba yose mavakange vagere.

²Suddenly there came from the sky a sound like the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

³Zvino kwakaonekwa kwavari ndimi dzakaparadzaniswa sedzemoto, ndokumhara pamusoro peumwe neumwe wavo.

³Tongues like fire appeared and were distributed to them, and one sat on each of them.

⁴Zvino vose vakazadzwa neMweya Mutsvene, ndokutanga kutaura nedzimwe ndimi, Mweya sezvaakavapa kududza.

⁴They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak.

⁵Zvino paigara paJerusarema vaJudha, varume vaitya Mwari, vaibva kurudzi rwose rwevari pasi pedenga.

⁵Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under the sky.

⁶Zvino mutinhimira uyu wakati waitika, chaunga chikaungana chikavhiringidzwa, nekuti umwe neumwe wakavanzwa vachitaura nerurimi rwekwavo.

⁶When this sound was heard, the multitude came together, and were bewildered, because everyone heard them speaking in his own language.

⁷Zvino vakakatyamara vose vakashamisika vakataurirana vachiti: Tarirai, ava vose vanotaura havasi vaGarirea here?

⁷They were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Behold, aren’t all these who speak Galileans?

⁸Zvino isu tinonzwa sei umwe neumwe nerurimi rwekwedu, rwatakaberekwa narwo?

⁸How do we hear, everyone in our own native language?

⁹VePatia neveMedhia neveEramu, nevagari veMesopotamia, neveJudhiya neveKapadhokia, vePonto neveAsia,

⁹Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia,

¹⁰veFrigia nevePamufiriya, veEgipita nevemamativi eRibhia pedo neKurini, nevaeni vaRoma, vose vaJudha nevakatendeukira kuvaJudha,

¹⁰Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, the parts of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,

¹¹vaKrete nevaAraAbhiya, tinovanzwa vachitaura nendimi dzedu mabasa makuru aMwari.

¹¹Cretans and Arabians: we hear them speaking in our languages the mighty works of God!”

¹²Zvino vakakatyamara vose, vakakahadzika vachiti umwe kune umwe: Ichi chingava chei?

¹²They were all amazed, and were perplexed, saying one to another, “What does this mean?”

¹³Asi vamwe vakatsvinya vachiti: Vadhakwa newaini inotapira.

¹³Others, mocking, said, “They are filled with new wine.”

¹⁴Zvino Petro amire nevanegumi neumwe, wakasimudza inzwi rake, ndokuti kwavari: Varume vaJudha, nevose vagere muJerusarema, chinhu ichi ngachizikamwe kwamuri, uye muteerere kumashoko angu.

¹⁴But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and spoke out to them, “You men of Judea, and all you who dwell at Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to my words.

¹⁵Nekuti ava havana kudhakwa sezvamunofunga imwi; nekuti iawa rechitatu rezuva;

¹⁵For these aren’t drunken, as you suppose, seeing it is only the third hour of the day about 9:00 AM .

¹⁶asi ichi ndicho chakataurwa nemuporofita Joweri achiti:

¹⁶But this is what has been spoken through the prophet Joel:

¹⁷Zvino zvichava mumazuva ekupedzisira, unodaro Mwari, ndichadurura zveMweya wangu pamusoro penyama yose; nevanakomana venyu nevanasikana venyu vachaporofita, uye majaya enyu achaona zviratidzo, nevatana venyu vacharota hope;

¹⁷‘It will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will dream dreams.

¹⁸uye nepamusoro pevaranda vangu nepamusoro pevarandakadzi vangu, nemazuva iwayo ndichadurura zveMweya wangu, uye vachaporofita.

¹⁸Yes, and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days, I will pour out my Spirit, and they will prophesy.

¹⁹Zvino ndichaita zvishamiso kudenga kumusoro, nezviratidzo panyika pasi, ropa, nemoto, nemhute yeutsi.

¹⁹I will show wonders in the sky above, and signs on the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and billows of smoke.

²⁰Zuva richashandurwa kuva rima, nemwedzi kuva ropa, risati rasvika zuva raIshe guru uye rinobwinya;

²⁰The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

²¹zvino zvichava kuti ani nani unodana zita raIshe uchaponeswa.

²¹It will be, that whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.’ Joel 2:28-32

²²Varume vaIsraeri, inzwai mashoko awa: Jesu weNazareta, murume wakapupurirwa naMwari pakati penyu nemabasa esimba nezvishamiso nezviratidzo Mwari zvaakaita pakati penyu kubudikidza naye, sezvamunozivawo imwi mumene,

²²“Men of Israel, hear these words! Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved by God to you by mighty works and wonders and signs which God did by him in the midst of you, even as you yourselves know,

²³iye wakakumikidzwa nezano rakamiswa nekuziva zviri mberi kwaMwari, mukamutora, nemaoko evasina murairo mukaroverera pamuchinjikwa mukuuraya;

²³him, being delivered up by the determined counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by the hand of lawless men, crucified and killed;

²⁴iye Mwari waakamutsa, asunungura marwadzo erufu, nekuti zvakange zvisingagoneki kuti abatwe narwo.

²⁴whom God raised up, having freed him from the agony of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it.

²⁵Nekuti Dhavhidhi wakataura maererano naye: Ndaiona Ishe pamberi pangu nguva dzose; nekuti uri kuruoko rwerudyi rwangu, kuti ndirege kuzununguswa.

²⁵For David says concerning him, ‘I saw the Lord always before my face, For he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.

²⁶Naizvozvo moyo wangu wakafara, nerurimi rwangu rwakafarisisa; uyezve nenyama yangu ichazorora mutariro.

²⁶Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced. Moreover my flesh also will dwell in hope;

²⁷Nekuti hamuzosii mweya wangu mugehena, kana kutendera Mutsvene wenyu kuti aone kuora.

²⁷because you will not leave my soul in Hades or, Hell , neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay.

²⁸Makandizivisa nzira dzeupenyu; muchandizadza nemufaro nechiso chenyu.

²⁸You made known to me the ways of life. You will make me full of gladness with your presence.’ Psalm 16:8-11

²⁹Varume hama, regai nditaure kwamuri pachena zvateteguru Dhavhidhi, kuti zvose vakafa uye vakavigwa, guva ravo riri pakati pedu kusvikira zuva rino.

²⁹“Brothers, I may tell you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

³⁰Naizvozvo ari muporofita, uye achiziva kuti Mwari wakapika nemhiko kwaari kuti kuchibereko chechiuno chake panyama uchasimudza Kristu kuti agare pachigaro chake cheushe,

³⁰Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, he would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne,

³¹aona zviri mberi, wakareva zvekumuka kwaKristu, kuti mweya wake hauna kusiiwa mugehena, kana nyama yake kuona kuora.

³¹he foreseeing this spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that neither was his soul left in Hades or, Hell , nor did his flesh see decay.

³²Uyu Jesu Mwari wakamumutsa, zvatiri zvapupu zvazvo tose.

³²This Jesus God raised up, to which we all are witnesses.

³³Naizvozvo asimudzirwa kuruoko rwerudyi rwaMwari, agamuchira kuna Baba chivimbiso cheMweya Mutsvene, wadurura izvi imwi zvamunoona nezvamunonzwa ikozvino.

³³Being therefore exalted by the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this, which you now see and hear.

³⁴Nekuti Dhavhidhi haana kukwira kumatenga, asi unoti amene: Ishe wakati kuna Ishe wangu: Gara kuruoko rwangu rwerudyi,

³⁴For David didn’t ascend into the heavens, but he says himself, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit by my right hand,

³⁵kusvikira ndichiita vavengi vako chitsiko chetsoka dzako.

³⁵until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”’ Psalm 110:1

³⁶Naizvozvo imba yose yaIsraeri ngaizive kwazvo, kuti Mwari wakaita iyeyu Jesu wamakaroverera pamuchinjikwa imwi, zvose Ishe naKristu.

³⁶“Let all the house of Israel therefore know certainly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.”

³⁷Zvino vakati vachinzwa izvi vakabayiwa pamoyo, ndokuti kuna Petro nekune vamwe vaapositori: Varume hama, tichaitei?

³⁷Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”

³⁸Petro ndokuti kwavari: Tendeukai mubhabhatidzwe umwe neumwe wenyu muzita raJesu Kristu, kuitira kangamwiro yezvivi, uye muchagamuchira chipo cheMweya Mutsvene.

³⁸Peter said to them, “Repent, and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

³⁹Nekuti chivimbiso ndechenyu, nechevana venyu, nevose vari kure, uwandu Ishe Mwari wedu sehwevaanodana.

³⁹For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all who are far off, even as many as the Lord our God will call to himself.”

⁴⁰Uye nemamwe mashoko mazhinji, akapupura akakurudzira, achiti: Muzviponese pazera iri rakashonyoroka.

⁴⁰With many other words he testified, and exhorted them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation!”

⁴¹Zvino avo vakagamuchira nemufaro shoko rake vakabhabhatidzwa; uye nezuva iro vakawedzerwa mweya inenge zvuru zvitatu.

⁴¹Then those who gladly received his word were baptized. There were added that day about three thousand souls.

⁴²Vakarambira padzidziso yevaapositori nepakuwadzana, nepakumedura chingwa nepaminyengetero.

⁴²They continued steadfastly in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and prayer.

⁴³Uye kutya kukawira pamusoro pemweya woga woga; uye zvishamiso zvizhinji nezviratidzo zvikaitwa nevaapositori.

⁴³Fear came on every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.

⁴⁴Nevaitenda vose vaiva pamwe, uye vakava nezvinhu zvose panhu pamwe,

⁴⁴All who believed were together, and had all things in common.

⁴⁵ndokutengesa zvavaiva nazvo nenhumbi, vakazvigovana vose, umwe neumwe paaishaiwa napo.

⁴⁵They sold their possessions and goods, and distributed them to all, according as anyone had need.

⁴⁶Zuva rimwe nerimwe vakange vachitsungirira mutembere nemoyo umwe, uye vaimedura chingwa paimba neimba, vachidya chikafu nemufaro nemoyo wakachena,

⁴⁶Day by day, continuing steadfastly with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread at home, they took their food with gladness and singleness of heart,

⁴⁷vachirumbidza Mwari, vachifarirwa nevanhu vose. Ishe akawedzera kukereke zuva rimwe nerimwe avo vanoponeswa.

⁴⁷praising God, and having favor with all the people. The Lord added to the assembly day by day those who were being saved.
