1Zvino takati taponeswa, tikaziva kuti chiwi chinonzi Merita. 2Vanhu venyika iyo vakatiitira unyoro kwazvo; nokuti vakabatidza moto, vakatigamuchira tose, nokuda kwemvura yakanga ichinaya, uye nokuda kwechando. 3Zvino Pauro akati aunganidza svinga routsotso, akahuisa pamoto, kukabuda nyoka nokudziya, ikanamatira paruoko rwake.
4Vanhu venyika iyo vakati vachiona chikara chakaremberera paruoko rwake, vakataurirana, vachiti, “Zvirokwazvo munhu uyu muurayi, nokuti kunyange adoponeswa hake pagungwa, Kururama hakumutenderi kuti ave mupenyu.”
5Asi iye wakazunzira chikara mumoto, akasanzwa kurwadzwa. 6Ivo vakati achazvimba, kana kuwira pasi pakarepo, akafa; zvino vakati vatarira nguva refu, vakaona kuti haana kusvikirwa nenjodzi, vakashanduka voti, “Iye Mwari.”
7Zvino pedyo ipapo paiva neminda yomukuru wechiwi, ainzi Pubhuiryo; iye akatigamuchira, akatigarisa zvakanaka mazuva matatu. 8Zvino baba vaPubhuriyo vakanga vavete pasi, vakabatwa nefivha nokubudisa ropa; Pauro akapinda kwavari, akanyengetera, ndokuisa maoko ake pamusoro pake, akamuporesa. 9Izvo zvakati zvaitwa, navamwewo vechiwi, vairwara, vakauya, vakaporeswa. 10Vakatikudza nokukudza kukuru; tichizoenda, vakaisa pachikepe zvinhu zvatakanga tichishayiwa.

11Mwedzi mitatu yakati yapfuura, tikaenda nechikepe cheArekizandiriya, chakanga chagara chando pachiwi, chaiva nechiratidzo chokuti “Dhiokuri.” 12Zvino tikaenda napaSirakuse, tikagarapo mazuva matatu. 13Tikabvapo, tikapota, ndokusvika Regio; zuva rimwe rikati rapfuura, mhepo yaibva zasi ikamuka, tikasvika Puteori nezuva repiri; 14tikawanapo hama, dzakakumbira zvikuru kuti tigare nadzo mazuva manomwe; naizvozvo tikasvika Roma. 15Zvino hama dzakati dzatinzwa, dzikabvapo, dzikauya kuzotichingamidza, dzikasvika Apio Foro napaTabherini Nhatu; Pauro akati adziona idzo, akavonga Mwari, akatsunga mwoyo.
16Zvino takati tapinda Roma, Pauro akatenderwa kugara ari oga, anomurwi aimurinda.
17Mazuva matatu akati apfuura, akakokera avo, vakanga vari vakuru vavaJudha. Vakati vaungana, akati kwavari, “Varume, hama, ini kunyange ndisina kuita chinhu chakatadzira vanhu, kana tsika dzamadzibaba edu, ndakabva Jerusaremu ndakasungwa, ndaiswa pamaoko avaRoma; 18ivo, vakati vandibvunzisisa, vakada kundisunungura, nokuti pakanga pasina mhosva yorufu kwandiri. 19Asi vaJudha vakaramba, ndikarovererwa kuzviisa kuna Kesari; kusi kuti ndaiva nechinhu chokupomera rudzi rwangu. 20Zvino ndakakudanai pamusoro pemhosva iyi, kuti ndikuonei, nditaurirane nemi, nokuti ndakasungwa nengetani iyi nokuda kwetariro yavaIsiraeri.”
21Vakati kwaari, “Hatina kugamuchira tsamba pamusoro pako, dzaibva Judhea, uye hakuna mumwe wehama akasvika akatiudza zvako, kana kutaura zvakaipa pamusoro pako. 22Asi tinoda kunzwa kwauri zvaunofunga; nokuti kana iri dzidziso iyi, tinoziva kuti inorambwa kwose-kwose.”
23Zvino vakati vamutarira zuva, vakauya kwaari vari vazhinji, kwaakanga agere, akavadudzira, achivapupurira kwazvo ushe hwaMwari, akavagombedzera pamusoro paJesu, nomurayiro waMosesi navaporofita, kubva mangwanani kusvikira madekwana. 24Vamwe vakatenda zvakataurwa, asi vamwe havana kutenda. 25Zvino zvavakanga vasinganzwani, vakaenda, Pauro ataura shoko rimwechete kwavari rokuti, “Mweya Mutsvene akataura zvakanaka nomuporofita Isaya kuna madzibaba enyu, 26achiti,
‘Enda kuvanhu ava uti,
Nokunzwa muchanzwa, musingatongonzwisisi;
Nokuona, muchaona, musingaonesesi.
27Nokuti mwoyo yavanhu ava yava mikukutu,
Nzeve dzavo hadzinzwi zvakanaka,
Vakatsinzina meso avo;
Kuti varege kutongoona nameso avo,
Nokunzwa nenzeve dzavo,
Nokunzwisisa nemwoyo yavo,
Vatendeuke,
Ndivaporese.’ ”
28Zvino zivai imi, kuti ruponeso urwu rwakatumirwa vahedheni; ivo vachanzwawo. 29[Akati ataura izvozvo, vaJudha vakaenda, vachiita nyaya huru pakati pavo.]
30Iye akapedza makore maviri agere muimba yake yairipirwa mari, akagamuchira vose vaipinda kwaari, 31achiparidza ushe hwaMwari, achidzidzisa zvaIshe Jesu Kristu, asingatongotyi, asingadziviswi nomunhu.
