1 Ze yakilaa imakani nanso, uPaulo ai uhegile ku Athene kulongola ku Korintho.
Ngemva kwalokho uPhawuli wasuka e-Athene waya eKhorinte.
2 Uko akamulija Muyahudi nuitangwaa Akwila muntu nua kabila nila Ponto, ung'wenso nu musungu nuakwe nuitangwaa Prisila ai apembilye kupuma uko ku Italia, ku nsoko uKlaudia ai ulagiiye i Ayahudi ihi ahege ku Roma; uPaulo akapembya kitalao;
Khonapho wahlangana lomJuda owayethiwa ngu-Akhwila, owasePhontusi ngomdabuko, owayesanda kufika lapho evele e-Ithali lomkakhe uPhrisila ngoba uKlawudiyasi wayekhuphe isinqumo sokuthi amaJuda wonke aphume eRoma. UPhawuli wahamba wayababona,
3 uPaulo akikie nu kituma i milimo ni enso kunsoko nuanso witumaa mulimo nuipyani niyi nao. Enso ai iza azepya mahema.
kwathi ngoba engumenzi wamathente njengabo wasehlala labo, wasebenza labo.
4 uPaulo akitambulya ni enso mi itekeelo kila luhiku nula kusupya. Ai uapemile i Ayahudi palung'wi ni Agiriki.
NgamaSabatha wonke wayesiya esinagogweni ebonisana lamaJuda lamaGrikhi ezama ukuwaphendula.
5 Kuiti uSila nu Timotheo nai akapembya kupuma ku Makedonia, uPaulo ai usuntilwe nu Ng'wau Ngwelu kua kuiila i Ayahudi kina uYesu yuyo Kristo.
Kwathi uSayilasi loThimothi sebefikile bevela eMasedoniya, uPhawuli wasenikela isikhathi sakhe sonke ekutshumayeleni kuphela efakaza kumaJuda ukuthi uJesu wayenguKhristu.
6 Matungo i Ayahudi nai amukua nu kumukuna, iti uPaulo wikapununta u ng'wenda nuakwe ntongeela ao, nu kuatambuila, “Sakami anyu ni itule migulya a matwe anyu akola; Unene nimugila ikinkwaatya. kupuma itungili nu kulongoleka, kuahanga i anyaingu.”
Kodwa kwathi lapho amaJuda emphikisa njalo emchothoza, wathintitha izembatho zakhe phambi kwawo wathi, “Igazi lenu kalibe phezu kwamakhanda enu! Mina sengiwenzile owami umlandu. Kusukela manje sengisiya kwabeZizwe.”
7 Iti gwa akahega kupuma pang'wanso akalongola mi ito nilang'wa Tito Yusto, Muntu nai wimukulya Itunda. Ito nilakwe ai likoli pakupi ni itekeelo.
UPhawuli wasesuka esinagogweni waya endlini eseceleni, eyayingekaThithu Justusi, owayekhonza uNkulunkulu.
8 uKrispo, mutongeeli nu itekeelo palung'wi ni antu a mi ito nilakwe akamuhuiila uMukulu. Antu idu nia ku Korintho nai amigulye uPaulo ukuligitya ai ahuiie nu kogigwa.
UKhrispasi, umphathi wesinagogu, kanye lendlu yakhe yonke bakholwa eNkosini; kwathi labanengi bamaKhorinte abamuzwayo bakholwa, babhaphathizwa.
9 uMukulu akamutambuila uPaulo utiku kukiila ku nzila a muloto, “Leka kogopa, kuiti ligitya hangi leka kukilaga.
Ngobunye ubusuku iNkosi yakhuluma kuPhawuli ngombono yathi: “Ungesabi; qhubeka utshumayela, ungathuli.
10 Ku iti unene nkoli palung'wi nu ewe, hangi kutili nuikagema kuumela, ndogoelyo nkete antu idu mu kisali iki.”
Ngoba mina ngilawe, kakho ozakuhlasela akulimaze, ngoba ngilabantu abanengi kulelidolobho.”
11 uPaulo akikie kuko ku itungo la ng'waka ung'wi ni myeli mutandatu wazemanyisa lukani nulang'wa Itunda mukati ao.
Ngakho uPhawuli wahlala khona okomnyaka olengxenye, ebafundisa ilizwi likaNkulunkulu.
12 Kuiti uGalio nai wakatendwa muhumi nua ku Akaya, Ayahudi ai imikile palung'wi nsuta nu Paulo nu kumutwala ntongeela a ituntu nila ulamuli,
UGaliyo esangusibalukhulu wase-Akhayiya, amaJuda eKhorinte amanyana ahlasela uPhawuli, amletha emthethwandaba,
13 aze ligitya, “uMuntu uyu wiapemaa i antu kumukulya Itunda nsuta ni malagiilyo.”
amangalela esithi, “Indoda le idonsela abantu ekukhonzeni uNkulunkulu ngezindlela eziphambene lomthetho.”
14 Matungo uPaulo nai wakatula uloilwe kuligitya, uGalio aka atambuila i Ayahudi, “Unyenye Ayahudi, anga aza itule utumuli ang'wi ubipya, aza izeetula tai kuitumila u mulimo.
Kwathi uPhawuli esathi uyakhuluma, uGaliyo wathi kumaJuda, “Kube lina maJuda libika ngokona okuthile loba icala lokuganga okubi, bekufanele ukuthi ngililalele.
15 Kuiti ku nsoko ingi makolyo, natulikile imakani ni mina, ni malagiilyo anyu, uugwa lamuli nyenye akola. Unene nimugila insula kutula mulamuli ku nkani nia makani nanso.”
Kodwa njengoba kuphathelane ngezinto zamazwi lamabizo, langomthetho wenu; kulungiseni lina. Mina kangiyikuba ngumahluleli wezinto ezinjalo.”
16 uGalio akalagiilya ahege ntongeela ituntu nila ulamuli.
Wasesithi kabaxotshwe enkantolo.
17 Iti gwa, akamuamba uSosthene, mutongeeli nu itekeelo, akamukua ntongeela ituntu nila ulamuli. Kuiti uGalio shanga ai ukee nai akitumile.
Bonke basebephendukela uSosithene, umphathi wesinagogu, bamtshaya phambi kwenkantolo. Kodwa uGaliyo kazange athi thiki lakancane.
18 uPaulo, ze yakilaa kikie pang'wanso ku itungo ilipu, ai ualekile anya ndugu nu kulongola na meli ku Siria palung'wi nu Prisila nu Akwila. Ze ikili nu kuhega pa bandari, ai uzue insingi niakwe ku nsoko ai watula walapaa kutula munazili.
UPhawuli waphinda wahlala njalo okwesikhathi esithile eKhorinte. Wasetshiya abazalwane waya e-Asiriya, ephelekezelwa nguPhrisila lo-Akhwila. Engakaweli ulwandle waqala wagela inwele zakhe eKhenkireya ngenxa yesifungo ayesenzile.
19 Nai akapika ku Efeso, uPaulo ai umulekile uPrisila nu Akwila pang'wanso, kuiti ung'wenso mukola akingila mi itekeelo nu kitambulya ni Ayahudi.
Bafika e-Efesu lapho uPhawuli atshiya khona uPhrisila lo-Akhwila. Yena waya esinagogweni wayabonisana lamaJuda.
20 Nai amutambuie uPaulo wikie ni enso ku itungo ilipu, nuanso ai uhitile.
Bamcela ukuthi ahlale okwesikhathi eside kodwa wala.
21 Kuiti wakahega kitalao, aka atambuila, “Nikasuka hangi kitalanyu, agaitule ingi ulowa wang'wa Itunda.” Ze yakilaa pang'wanso, wakahega ku meli kupuma ku Efeso.
Wathi esesuka wathembisa wathi, “Ngizaphenduka nxa kuyintando kaNkulunkulu.” Wasewela ulwandle esuka e-Efesu.
22 uPaulo nai wakasima ku Kaisaria, ai unankie kulongola kulilamusha itekeelo nila ku Yerusalemu, uugwa akasima pihi ku itekeelo nila ku Antiokoa.
Wakhuphukela eKhesariya wahamba wayabingelela ibandla eJerusalema, wasesehlela e-Antiyokhi.
23 Ze yakilaa kikie ku itungo ilipu pang'wanso, uPaulo ai uhegile kukiila nkika nia ku Galatia ni Frigia nu kuakinyila inkolo i amanyisigwa ihi.
UPhawuli eseke wahlala e-Antiyokhi wasuka lapho wabhoda indawo ngendawo kuwo wonke umango waseGalathiya lowaseFirigiya eqinisa bonke abafundi.
24 Muyahudi ung'wi nuitangwaa Apolo, nai utugiwe uko ku Alexandria, ai upembilye ku Efeso. Ai ukete nu ulingi mu kuligitya hangi muhugu mu ukilisigwa.
Kusenjalo, umJuda owayethiwa ngu-Apholo, owe-Alekizandriya ngomdabuko, weza e-Efesu. Wayeyindoda efundileyo, elolwazi olukhulu ngeMibhalo.
25 uApollo ai watulaa ulagiiwe mu umanyisigwa nua Mukulu. Ku kinya uli nai ukete nu ukamatiku mu nkolo, ai wiligityaa nu kumanyisa ku uziza imakani namutuile uYesu, ila ai ulingile udu u wogigwa nuang'wa Yohana.
Yayifundisiwe ngendlela yeNkosi, ikhuluma ngomfutho njalo ifundisa okuqondileyo ngoJesu, isazi ngobhaphathizo lukaJohane kuphela.
26 uApolo akandya kitamulya ku ukamatiku mi itekeelo. Kuiti uPrisila nu Akwila nai akamija, ai azipilye kihumbashuya nu ng'wenso hangi akamuganuila migulya a nzila niang'wa Itunda ku uziza,
Yakhuluma ngesibindi esinagogweni. Kwathi uPhrisila lo-Akhwila beyizwa, bayinxusa emzini wabo, bayichazela ngokugcweleyo indlela kaNkulunkulu.
27 Nai wakahung'wa insula kuhega kulongola ku Akaya, anyandugu ai amukinyie inkolo nu kuakilisilya ibada i amanyisigwa niakoli ku Akaya iti ahume kumusingiilya. Nuikapikiila, ku ukende ai ua aiiye nangaluu awo nai ahuiie.
U-Apholo wayefuna ukuya e-Akhayiya, abazalwane basebemkhuthaza, babhalela abafundi khonale ukuthi bamamukele. Wathi efika khona waba luncedo olukhulu kulabo ababekholwe beholwa ngumusa.
28 Ku ngulu niakwe ni mahala, uApolo ai uakiile i Ayahudi mu kihenga wazelagiila kukiila ukilisigwa niya kina uYesu yuyo Kristo.
Ngoba watshukana lamaJuda ewaphikisa enkundleni, ebonisa obala eMibhalweni ukuthi uJesu wayenguKhristu.
