Masengo 22
1 “Achalongo achinjangu ni achatati, mumbilikanile uchenene inguti kulichenjela paujo penu!”
Madoda, bazalwane, labobaba, zwanini ukuziphendulela kwami khathesi kini.
2 Ŵandu ŵala paŵampilikene che Paolo achikungulukaga nawo Mchiebulania ŵamyalele jii. Ni che Paolo ŵajendelechele kuŵecheta,
Sebezwile ukuthi ukhuluma labo ngolimi lwamaHebheru, bathula kakhulu, wasesithi:
3 “Uneji ndili Myahudi, napagwilwe ku Taso, musi wa ku Kilikia. Nambo ngulile papapa pa Yelusalemu, naliji jwakulijiganya ju che Gamalieli. Nalijiganyisye uchenene kukamula malajisyo ga achambuje ŵetu. Nalityosisye ni ntima wose kwa Akunnungu mpela intite ŵanyamwe lelo jino.
Mina ngiyindoda engumJuda, eyazalelwa eTarsu yeKilikhiya, ngakhuliselwa kulumuzi enyaweni zikaGamaliyeli, ngafundiswa ngokuqinileyo umlayo wabobaba, ngitshisekela uNkulunkulu, njengani lonke lamuhla;
4 Naalagesye ŵandu Ŵakwakuya Che Yesu mpaka kwaulaga. Naakamwile achalume ni achakongwe ŵakwe ni kwataŵa mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa.
eyazingela leyondlela kwaze kwaba sekufeni, ngibabopha ngibanikela entolongweni amadoda kanye labafazi,
5 Jŵambopesi jwankulu pamo ni nkungulu wa achachekulu akukombola kuutyosya umboni wa yeleyo. Ŵanyawo ni ŵaŵambele chikalata chakwapelechela Ŵayahudi ŵakutama ku Damesiki. Najawile ku Damesiki kuti ngaakamule ŵandu wo ni kwajigala kuja nawo ku Yelusalemu ali ataŵikwe kuti ajamukwe.”
njengoba lompristi omkhulu engifakazela, lomphakathi wonke wabadala; engazuza kubo incwadi eziya kubazalwane, ngaya eDamaseko, ukuthi lababekhona lapho ngibalethe eJerusalema bebotshiwe, ukuze bajeziswe.
6 “Nipele, panaliji mwitala kuŵandichila ku Damesiki, muusi mpela lyuŵa pa ntwe chisisimuchile kwinani kwakopochele lulanga lwekulungwa ni lwalanguchisye une mbande syose.
Kwasekusithi ngisahamba sengisondela eDamaseko, sekungaba yimini enkulu, kwahle kwakhanya ukukhanya okukhulu okuvela ezulwini kungizingelezela.
7 Pelepo nagwile paasi, nipele napilikene liloŵe lichisalilaga, ‘Che Sauli, che Sauli! Ana ligongo chi nkuunagasya une?’
Ngasengiwela phansi, ngasengisizwa ilizwi lisithi kimi: Sawuli, Sawuli, ungizingelelani?
8 Noneji nausisye, ‘Ana ŵaani alakwe, Ambuje?’ Nombewo ŵajanjile, ‘Uneji ndili Che Yesu jwa ku Nasaleti junkunagasya.’
Mina ngasengiphendula ngathi: Ungubani, Nkosi? Wasesithi kimi: NginguJesu weNazaretha wena omzingelayo.
9 Achinjangu ŵanaliji nawo mu ulendo ŵala ŵaliweni lilanguka lila nambo nganalipikana liloŵe lya ajula jwaŵaŵechetaga ni une.
Lalabo ababelami bakubona ukukhanya, njalo basebesesaba, kodwa kabalizwanga ilizwi elakhuluma lami.
10 Nipele uneji nausisye, ‘Ana ndende chichi Ambuje?’ Nombe Ambuje ŵanyanjile, ‘Njime, njaule ku Damesiki ni kweleko chansalile yose yaikummajila kuipanganya.’
Ngasengisithi: Ngenzeni, Nkosi? INkosi yasisithi kimi: Sukuma uye eDamaseko; njalo uzatshelwa khona ngazo zonke izinto ozimiselwe ukuthi uzenze.
11 Kwa ligongo lya kung'alima kwa lilanguka lila nalepele kulola nipele achinjangu unalongene nawo mu ulendo ŵala ŵangamwile nkono ni kunongosya mpaka naiche ku Damesiki.
Njengoba ngangingaboni ngenxa yenkazimulo yalokhokukhanya, ngakhokhelwa ngesandla yilabo ababelami, ngafika eDamaseko.
12 “Ni ku Damesiki ko jwapali mundu jumo liina lyakwe che Anania, mundu jwakwalamba Akunnungu ni jwakugakamulichisya Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa ni juŵaŵalanjikwe umboni kuti ali jwambone ni Ŵayahudi ŵakutama ku Damesiki.
Njalo uAnaniya othile, indoda ekhuthele ekukhonzeni ngokomlayo, owayefakazelwa yiwo wonke amaJuda ahlala khona,
13 Jwelejo ŵaiche kukuunola, ni ŵajimi pachiŵandi ni uneji ni kuti, ‘Mpwanga che Sauli! Nkombole kulola sooni.’ Papopo nakombwele kulola sooni ni nammweni.
weza kimi wasesima phansi kwami wathi kimi: Sawuli mzalwane, buya ubone. Njalo mina ngalesosikhathi ngasengimbona.
14 Nipele che Anania ŵatite, ‘Akunnungu ŵa achambuje ŵetu ansagwile mmwe kuti mmanyilile yakuisaka, ni kummona jwelejo Jwakupanganya yambone paujo pa Akunnungu, ni kumpilikana nsyene achiŵechetaga.
Wasesithi: UNkulunkulu wabobaba bethu ukumisile ngaphambili ukuthi wazi intando yakhe, lokuthi ubone oLungileyo, njalo uzwe ilizwi eliphuma emlonyeni wakhe,
15 Pakuŵa chimme jwaumboni jwakwe kwa ŵandu wose nchasalilaga aila yose inyiweni ni kwipilikana.
ngoba uzakuba ngumfakazi wakhe kubo bonke abantu, walokho okubonileyo lokuzwileyo.
16 Nipele sano nkulindilila ichichi, njime mbatiswe ni kutyosyekwa sambi syenu, kwakutenda yelei nkuliŵilanga liina lya Ambuje.’
Khathesi-ke, usalindeleni? Sukuma ubhabhathizwe uhlanjululwe ezonweni zakho, ubize ibizo leNkosi.
17 “Nipele, nausile ku Yelusalemu ni panapopelaga pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu pala naiweni yakwiwona.
Kwasekusithi kimi sengibuyele eJerusalema, njalo ngikhuleka ethempelini, ngaba lokuhlehla kwengqondo,
18 Nammweni Ambuje achiisalilaga, ‘Njanguye! Ntyoche chitema mu Yelusalemu pakuŵa ŵandu ŵa pelepa ŵa ngaapochela umboni wenu nkati une.’
ngasengimbona wathi kimi: Phangisa uphume ngesiqubu eJerusalema; ngoba kabasoze bemukele ubufakazi bakho ngami.
19 Noneji najanjile, ‘Ambuje, ŵanyawo akumanyilila kuti uneji ni jwejula junajendagajendaga mmajumba gao ga kupopelela ni kwataŵa mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa aŵala ŵaŵankulupilile mmweji ni kwaputa.
Ngasengisithi: Nkosi, bayazi bona ukuthi mina ngangibafaka entolongweni ngibatshaya emasinagogeni wonke labo abakholwa kuwe;
20 Ni katema paŵammuleje che Stefano jwa umboni jwenu, uneji nansyene naliji palapala ni sooni najitichisye kuti ŵaulaje ni nalindilile nguo sya ŵaŵambuleje ŵala.’
njalo mhla kuchithwa igazi likaStefane umfakazi wakho, mina uqobo ngangimi khona ngivumelana lokufa kwakhe, njalo ngilondoloza izembatho zalabo abambulalayo.
21 Ambuje ŵaasalile, ‘Njaule, chinantume kwakutalika, kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi.’”
Wasesithi kimi: Hamba, ngoba mina ngizakuthuma khatshana kwabezizwe.
22 Ŵandu ŵala ŵapilikanilaga mpaka paŵaŵechete maloŵe go, nipele, ŵatandite kunyanyisya achitiji, “Mumbulaje! Mundu jwati yelei ngaakuŵajilwa kulama.”
Bamlalela kwaze kwafika kulelolizwi, baphakamisa ilizwi labo besithi: Msuseni onje emhlabeni, ngoba kakufanele ukuthi aphile!
23 Ni ŵajendelechele kunyanyisya akuno achiulaga iwalo yao ni kututumya luundu mwinani.
Kwathi besamemeza, baphosa izembatho, baphosa uthuli emoyeni,
24 Jwankulu jwa ŵangondo lichila jula ŵaalamwile ŵangondo ŵao anjigale che Paolo ni kunjinjisya mu likome, ni ŵaalajisye ŵaapute mbokola ali nkumbusya kuti ŵamanyisye ligongo lya Ŵayahudi kunyanyisya.
induna enkulu yalaya ukuthi angeniswe enkambeni yamabutho, yathi kahlolisiswe ngokutshaywa ngesiswepu, ukuze yazi ukuthi kungasizatho bani bememeza ngokunjalo ngaye.
25 Nambo paŵantaŵile ngonji kuti ŵapute, che Paolo ŵambusisye jwankulu jumo juŵajimi pepala, “Ana malajisyo gakutusaka kumputa mbokola Mloma akanaŵe kulamulikwa?”
Kwathi sebemelulele phambili ngemichilo, uPawuli wathi enduneni yekhulu eyayimi lapho: Kuvunyelwe kini yini ukutshaya ngesiswepu umuntu ongumRoma engalahlwanga licala?
26 Jwankulu jula paŵapilikene yeleyo, ŵajawile ku jwankulu jwa ŵangondo jula ni kwasalila, “Ana nkusaka kutenda chichi? Pakuŵa mundu ju ali Mloma!”
Induna yekhulu isizwile yasondela yatshela induna enkulu isithi: Nanzelela osuzakwenza; ngoba lumuntu ungumRoma.
27 Nipele jwankulu jwa ŵangondo jula ŵanjaulile che Paolo ni kummusya, “Musalile, ana mmwe Mloma?” Che Paolo ŵajanjile, “Elo.”
Induna enkulu yasifika yathi kuye: Ngitshele, wena ungumRoma yini? Yena wathi: Yebo.
28 Jwankulu jwa ŵangondo jula ŵatite, “Uneji none ndili Mloma kwa kusuma ni ntengo wekulungwa.” Che Paolo ŵatite, “Nambo uneji ndili Mloma jwakupagwa.”
Induna enkulu yasiphendula yathi: Mina lelilungelo lokuba yisakhamuzi ngalizuza ngemali enkulu. UPawuli wasesithi: Kodwa lami ngazalwa lalo.
29 Nipele ŵandu ŵaŵasachile kumbusya ali nkumputa che Paolo ŵala papopo ŵatyosile. Ni jwankulu jwa ŵangondo jula paŵaimanyilile kuti che Paolo ŵaliji Mloma ŵajogwepe pakuŵa ŵantaŵile ni minyolo.
Ngakho labo abasebezamhlola bahle basuka kuye. Lenduna enkulu layo yesaba, isisazi ukuthi ungumRoma, lokuthi ibimbophile.
30 Malaŵi jakwe, jwankulu jwa ŵangondo mia moja jula ŵasachile kugamanyilila magambo gasyenesyene gakuŵechetelwa che Paolo ni Ŵayahudi. Nipele ŵangopwele minyolo jila ni ŵaalamwile achakulu ŵambopesi ni achakulu ŵa nkungulu asimane. Nipele ŵanjigele che Paolo ni kuntulusya paasi ni kunjimika paujo pa nkungulu.
Kwathi kusisa ifuna ukwazi iqiniso, ukuthi kungani emangalelwa ngamaJuda, yamkhulula kuzibopho, yalaya ukuthi abapristi abakhulu lomphakathi wabo wonke babuye, yamehlisa uPawuli yammisa phambi kwabo.
