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

¹Peter and John were going up into the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour 3:00 PM .

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

²A certain man who was lame from his mother’s womb was being carried, whom they laid daily at the door of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask gifts for the needy of those who entered into the temple.

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

³Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked to receive gifts for the needy.

⁴Zvino Petro akamudzvokora anaJohwani, akati: Titarire!

⁴Peter, fastening his eyes on him, with John, said, “Look at us.”

⁵Akavacherekedza, achitarisira kugamuchira chinhu kwavari.

⁵He listened to them, expecting to receive something from them.

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

⁶But Peter said, “Silver and gold have I none, but what I have, that I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk!”

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

⁷He took him by the right hand, and raised him up. Immediately his feet and his ankle bones received strength.

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

⁸Leaping up, he stood, and began to walk. He entered with them into the temple, walking, leaping, and praising God.

⁹Uye vanhu vose vakamuona achifamba, nekurumbidza Mwari.

⁹All the people saw him walking and praising God.

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

¹⁰They recognized him, that it was he who used to sit begging for gifts for the needy at the Beautiful Gate of the temple. They were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

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

¹¹As the lame man who was healed held on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch that is called Solomon’s, greatly wondering.

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?

¹²When Peter saw it, he responded to the people, “You men of Israel, why do you marvel at this man? Why do you fasten your eyes on us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made him walk?

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

¹³The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up, and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had determined to release him.

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

¹⁴But you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you,

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

¹⁵and killed the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, to 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.

¹⁶By faith in his name, his name has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which is through him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

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

¹⁷“Now, brothers The word for “brothers” here may be also correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” , I know that you did this in ignorance, as did also your rulers.

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

¹⁸But the things which God announced by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he thus fulfilled.

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

¹⁹“Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, so that there may come times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord,

²⁰uye uchatuma Jesu Kristu, wakagara aparidzirwa kwamuri;

²⁰and that he may send Christ Jesus, who was ordained for you before,

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

²¹whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God spoke long ago by the mouth of his holy prophets.

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

²²For Moses indeed said to the fathers, ‘The Lord God will raise up a prophet for you from among your brothers, like me. You shall listen to him in all things whatever he says to you.

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

²³It will be, that every soul that will not listen to that prophet will be utterly destroyed from among the people.’ Deuteronomy 18:15,18-19

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

²⁴Yes, and all the prophets from Samuel and those who followed after, as many as have spoken, they also told of these days.

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

²⁵You are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘In your seed will all the families of the earth be blessed.’ Genesis 22:18; 26:4

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

²⁶God, having raised up his servant, Jesus, sent him to you first, to bless you, in turning away everyone of you from your wickedness.”
