11 Usiku hwakatevera, Ishe akamira pedyo naPauro akati kwaari, “Tsunga mwoyo! Sezvawapupura pamusoro pangu muJerusarema, saizvozvo unofanira kundopupurawo muRoma.”

Rangano yoKuuraya Pauro

12 Fume mangwana, vaJudha vakaita rangano vakazvisunga nemhiko kuti varege kudya kana kunwa kusvikira vauraya Pauro.

13 Varume vaipfuura makumi mana ndivo vakaita rangano iyi.

14 Vakaenda kuvaprista vakuru navakuru vakati, “Isu tazvisunga nemhiko kuti tirege kudya kana chinhu kusvikira tauraya Pauro.

16 Asi, mwanakomana wehanzvadzi yaPauro akati anzwa rangano iyi, akapinda mudzimba dzavarwi akandoudza Pauro.

17 Ipapo Pauro akadana mumwe wavakuru vezana akati kwaari, “Tora jaya iri uende naro kumukuru wavarwi; ane zvaari kuda kumutaurira.”

18 Saka akaenda naye kumukuru wavarwi.

Mukuru wezana akati, “Pauro, musungwa uya, andidaidza akandikumbira kuti ndiuye nejaya iri, kwamuri nokuti rine zvarinoda kukuudzai.”

19 Mukuru wavarwi akabata ruoko rwejaya, akaenda naye padivi akamubvunza akati, “Chii chauri kuda kundiudza?”

20 Iye akati, “VaJudha vakatenderana kukukumbirai kuti muuyise Pauro pamberi peDare Guru ravaJudha mangwana vachiita sevanoda kunyatsobvunzisisa pamusoro pake.

21 Musavanzwa, nokuti pane vamwe vavo vanopfuura makumi mana vakamuvandira. Vakatozvisunga nemhiko kuti varege kudya kana kunwa kusvikira vamuuraya. Vakatogadzirira izvozvi, vakamirira kubvuma kwenyu chikumbiro chavo.”

22 Mukuru wavarwi akaita kuti jaya iri riende uye akamuyambira achiti, “Usaudza munhu kuti wataura izvi kwandiri.”

Pauro anoendeswa kuKesaria

23 Ipapo akadana vakuru vezana vaviri akavarayira achiti, “Gadzirirai mazana maviri avarwi, navanotasva mabhiza makumi manomwe uye mazana maviri avarume vane mapfumo kuti vaende kuKesaria nenguva dzepfumbamwe manheru.

24 Mutsvakirewo Pauro bhiza rokutasva kuitira kuti andosvika zvakanaka kuMubati Ferikisi.”

25 Akanyora tsamba yaiti:

27 Murume uyu akabatwa navaJudha uye vakanga voda kumuuraya, asi ini ndakabva ndasvika navarwi vangu ndikamununura, nokuti ndakanga ndanzwa kuti muRoma.

30 Pandakanyeverwa pamusoro perangano yaakanga arongerwa, ndakabva ndamutumira kwamuri pakarepo. Ndakazivisawo vapomeri vake kuti vazosvitsa kwamuri mhosva yavanomupomera.

31 Saka varwi vakaita sezvavakanga varayirwa, vakatora Pauro vakaenda naye usiku vakandosvika naye kuAndipatirisi.

32 Zuva rakatevera, vakarega vamabhiza vachienda naye, ivo vachibva vadzokera kudzimba dzavarwi.

Pauro anomira pamberi paFerikisi

1 Mazuva mashanu akati apfuura, Ananiasi muprista mukuru akaburuka kuKesaria navamwe vakuru nerimwe gweta rainzi Teturo, vakataura mhosva dzavo pamusoro paPauro pamberi pomubati.

2 Pauro akati adaidzwa kuti apinde, Teturo akasvitsa nyaya yake kuna Ferikisi achiti, “Isu takafadzwa nenguva refu yorugare pasi poutongi hwenyu, uye kunzwisisa kwenyu kwakashandura rudzi urwu.

3 Changamire Ferikisi, izvi tinozvigamuchira nomufaro mukuru uye nemitoo yose kwose kwose.

4 Asi kuti tisakunetsaizve, ndinokumbira hangu kuti mutinzwire ngoni mungotinzwa henyu kwenguva duku.

5 “Takaona kuti murume uyu akaipa, anomutsa bope pakati pavaJudha munyika yose. Ndiye mutungamiri weboka ravaNazareta

7 Asi Risiasi mukuru wavarwi akauya akamutakanura mumaoko edu nechisimba.

8 Mukamubvunzisisa imi pachenyu muchakwanisa kuziva chokwadi chemhosva dzatiri kumupomera.”

9 VaJudha vakabvumirana nezvaakanga achipomerwa, vachisimbisa kuti zvinhu izvi zvaiva zvechokwadi.

10 Mubati akati amuninira kuti ataure, Pauro akapindura, akati, “Ndinoziva kuti manga muri mutongi worudzi urwu kwamakore mazhinji; saka ndinofara kuti ndizvidavirire.

11 Imi munogona kuziva nyore nyore kuti mazuva gumi namaviri haasati atombopera kubva pandakaenda kundonamata kuJerusarema.

12 Vapomeri vangu havana kundiwana ndichiita nharo naani zvake mutemberi, kana kumutsa bope musinagoge kana papi zvapo muguta.

13 Uye havagoni kukubudisirai chokwadi chemhosva yavanondikwirira.

15 uye ndine tariro imwe cheteyo muna Mwari savarume ava, kuti kuchava nokumuka kwavakafa vose zvavo vakarurama navakaipa.

16 Saka ndinoshingairira nguva dzose kuti hana yangu ive yakachena pamberi paMwari navanhu.

17 “Shure kwamakore mazhinji ndisipo, ndakauya kuJerusarema kuti ndizopa vanhu vokwangu zvipo zvavarombo uye kuti ndizopa zvipiriso zvangu.

18 Ndakanga ndakazvinatsa pavakandiwana ndiri mutemberi ndichiita izvi. Pakanga pasina vanhu vazhinji vaiva neni, uye handina kumboita nyonganyonga.

19 Asi pane vaJudha vanobva kuEzhia, vaifanira kunge vari pano pamberi penyu, ndivo vaifanira kundipa mhosva kana vainge vane mhosva ipi zvayo neni.

20 Kana ivava vari pano vanofanira kutaura mhaka yavakawana mandiri pandakamira pamberi peDare Guru ravaJudha,

21 kunze kwechinhu chimwe chete ichi chandakadanidzira pandakanga ndimire pamberi pavo kuti, ‘Ndiri kutongwa maererano nokumuka kwavakafa; ndizvo zvaita kuti ndive pamberi penyu nhasi.’ ”

22 Ipapo Ferikisi uyo akanga achizivisisa nezveNzira iyo, akambomisa dare. Akati, “Kana Risiasi mukuru wavarwi auya, ndichatonga mhosva yenyu.”

23 Akarayira mukuru wezana kuti Pauro achengetwe navarindi asi ave akasununguka uye shamwari dzake dzibvumirwe kuti dzimuvigire zvaanoda.

24 Mushure mamazuva mazhinji, Ferikisi akauya nomukadzi wake Dhurusira, uyo akanga ari muJudha. Akadana Pauro kuti auye vagozomunzwa sezvo aitaura pamusoro pezvokutenda muna Kristu Jesu.

25 Pauro paakanga achidzidzisa pamusoro pokururama, kuzvidzora, nokutongwa kuchauya, Ferikisi akatya akati, “Zvakwana kwazvino! Ungaenda hako. Ndikange ndawana mukana, ndichazokudana.”

26 Panguva yacho iyoyo aifunga kuti Pauro achamupa fufuro, saka aidana Pauro nguva nenguva achitaura naye.

27 Makore maviri akati apfuura, Poshiasi Fesitasi akatora nzvimbo yaFerikisi, asi nokuda kwokuti Ferikisi aida kufadza vaJudha, akasiya Pauro ari mutorongo.

Pauro anotongwa pamberi paFesitasi

3 Vakakumbira zvikuru kuna Fesitasi, sechinhu chinofadza kwavari, kuti Pauro aendeswe kuJerusarema, nokuti vakanga vachigadzirira kumuvandira kuti vagomuuraya munzira imomo.

4 Fesitasi akapindura akati, “Pauro akachengetwa paKesaria, uye ini pachangu ndichaendako nokukurumidza.

5 Vamwe vavakuru venyu ngavaende neni vagondokwirira munhu uyu ikoko, kana akaita chinhu chipi zvacho chakaipa.”

6 Akati apedza mazuva masere kana gumi navo, akaburuka akaenda kuKesaria, uye zuva rakatevera akaunganidza vedare akarayira kuti Pauro auyiswe pamberi pake.

7 Pauro akati asvika, vaJudha vakanga vabva kuJerusarema vakamira vakamukomberedza, vachimupomera mhosva dzakaipisisa, dzavakanga vasingakwanisi kusimbisa.

8 Ipapo Pauro akazvidavirira achiti, “Ini handina kuita chinhu chakaipa pamusoro pomurayiro wavaJudha kana temberi kana Kesari.”

9 Fesitasi achida kufadza vaJudha, akati kuna Pauro, “Unoda here kuenda kuJerusarema kuti undomira pamberi pangu uchitongwa neni ikoko pamusoro pemhosva dzaunopomerwa idzi?”

10 Pauro akapindura akati, “Iye zvino ndimire pamberi pedare raKesari, munova ndimo mandinofanira kutongwa. Handina kuita chinhu chakaipa kuvaJudha, sezvamunonyatsoziva imi pachenyu.

11 Kunyange zvakadaro hazvo, kana ndine mhosva yokuita chinhu chipi zvacho chinokodzera rufu, handingarambi kufa. Asi kana mhosva dzandinopomerwa navaJudha dzisina chokwadi, hakuna munhu ane mvumo yokundiisa kwavari. Ndinozviisa kuna Kesari!”

12 Shure kwokunge Fesitasi ataurirana namakurukota ake, akati, “Wazviisa kuna Kesari. Kuna Kesari uchaenda!”

Fesitasi anobvunza Mambo Agiripa

13 Shure kwamazuva mashoma, Mambo Agiripa naBhenisi vakasvika paKesaria kuti vandopa ruremekedzo rwavo kuna Fesitasi.

14 Sezvo vakanga vachipedza mazuva mazhinji ikoko, Fesitasi akakurukura nyaya yaPauro namambo. Akati, “Pane murume ari pano akasiyiwa ari musungwa naFerikisi.

15 Pandakaenda kuJerusarema, vaprista vakuru navakuru vavaJudha vakauya vachimupomera mhosva vakakumbira kuti atongwe.

16 “Ndakavaudza kuti haisi tsika yavaRoma, yokuendesa munhu upi zvake kuti andofa asati asangana navapomeri vake, uye apiwa mukana wokuzvidavirira pamusoro pemhosva yavanomupomera.

19 Asi, vaingova namashoko okukakavadzana naye pamusoro pechitendero chavo uye napamusoro pomurume akafa anonzi Jesu, uyo anonzi naPauro mupenyu.

20 Ndakashaya ruzivo rwokuferefeta nyaya dzakadai; saka ndakabvunza kana aida hake kuenda kuJerusarema kuti andotongwa ikoko pamusoro pemhosva idzi.

21 Pauro akati azvisarudzira kuti achengetwe kuti azotongwa pamberi paMambo Kesari, ndakarayira kuti achengetwe kusvikira ndazomutumira kuna Kesari.”

22 Ipapo Agiripa akati kuna Fesitasi, “Ndingada kunzwa munhu uyu pachangu.” Akapindura akati, “Muchamunzwa mangwana.”

21 Shure kwokunge vanhu vagara nguva refu vasina zvokudya, Pauro akamira pamberi pavo akati, “Varume, maifanira kunge makateerera zano rangu rokuti murege kubva paKirete; ipapo mungadai makazviponesa pakuparadza nokurasikirwa uku.
