2 Asi pashure pekunge Pauro naBhanabhasi vanetsana navo vachiitirana nharo navo, pakazorongwa kuti Pauro, Bhanabhasi, nevamwe varume vaende nenyaya iyi kuvaapostora nevakuru kuJerusarema.+
3 Saka pashure pekunge vamboperekedzwa neungano, varume ava vakaenderera nerwendo rwavo vakapfuura nemuFenikiya nemuSamariya, vachinyatsorondedzera nezvekutendeuka kwevanhu vemamwe marudzi vachiita kuti hama dzese dzifare chaizvo.

8 Uye Mwari, uyo anoziva mwoyo,+ akaratidza kuti anovagamuchira nekuvapa mweya mutsvene,+ sezvaakaitawo kwatiri.
9 Haana kuita kuti pakati pedu navo patombova nemusiyano,+ asi akanatsa mwoyo yavo nekutenda.+

13 Pavakapedza kutaura, Jakobho akati: “Varume, hama, ndinzweiwo.
14 Simiyone+ anyatsorondedzera matangiro akaita Mwari kufunga mamwe marudzi kuti atore vanhu vezita rake pakati pawo.+
15 Uye izvi zvinoenderana nemashoko eVaprofita, sekunyorwa kwazvakaitwa kuti:
16 ‘Pashure pezvinhu izvi ndichadzoka, ndomutsa zvakare tende* raDhavhidhi rakawa; ndichavakazve matongo aro rova sezvaraiva,

18 zvakazivikanwa kubvira kare.’+
19 Saka ndiri kufunga* kuti tisaomesera vemamwe marudzi vari kutendeukira kuna Mwari,+
20 asi kuti tivanyorere kuti varege zvinhu zvakasvibiswa nezvidhori,+ upombwe,*+ zvinhu zvakadzipwa,* uye ropa.+
21 Nekuti zvakanyorwa naMozisi zvagara zviine vanozviparidza muguta neguta kubvira kare, uye zvichiri kuverengwa zvinonzwika mumasinagogi pamasabata ese.”+
22 Vaapostora nevakuru, pamwe chete neungano yese, vakabva vasarudza varume pakati pavo ndokuvatuma kuAndiyoki vaina Pauro naBhanabhasi; vakatuma Judhasi ainzi Bhasabhasi naSirasi,+ avo vaitungamirira pakati pehama.
23 Zvavakanyora ndeizvi uye vakavatuma nazvo:
“Vaapostora nevakuru, hama dzenyu; kuhama dzedu dzinobva kune mamwe marudzi dziri kuAndiyoki,+ Siriya, neKirikiya, tinoti: Kwaziwai!
24 Sezvo takanzwa kuti pane vamwe vanhu vakauya ikoko vachibva kuno vakakuvhiringidzai nezvavaitaura,+ vachiedza kukukanganisai, kunyange zvazvo tisina kumbovaudza kuti vadaro,
25 tabvumirana tese kuti tisarudze varume vekukutumirai pamwe chete nehama dzedu dzatinoda, Bhanabhasi naPauro,
26 varume vakaisa upenyu hwavo* pangozi nekuda kwezita raShe wedu Jesu Kristu.+
27 Saka tatuma Judhasi naSirasi, kuti naivowo vataure nemiromo yavo zvinhu zvatakakunyorerai.+
28 Nekuti mweya mutsvene+ nesu tasarudza kusakuremedzai nemimwe mitoro, kunze kwezvinhu izvi zvamunofanira kuita:

30 Saka varume ava pavakanzi vachienda, vakasvika kuAndiyoki, vakaunganidza vanhu vacho vese, vakavapa tsamba yacho.
31 Pavakaiverenga, vakafara nekukurudzirwa kwavakaitwa.
32 Uye sezvo Judhasi naSirasi vaivawo vaprofita, vakataura zvinhu zvakawanda zvekukurudzira nekusimbisa hama.+
