Aposolo 12
1 Ana knafina Kini Heroti'a mago'a mono vahe zamahe, frinaku zamazeri'ne.
Kungaba yisikhathi lapho iNkosi uHerodi eyabopha khona abanye ababe ngabebandla eqonde ukubahlukumeza.
2 Joni nefu Jemisi azeri'za bainati kazinu ahe fri'naze.
Wabulalisa uJakhobe umfowabo kaJohane ngenkemba.
3 Ana'ma hiazama Agrama kegeno Juda vahe'mo'za musema hazageno'a, Pitana azerino kina hunteku hu'ne. (Zo'ore breti muse hu'za nenaza knare, anara hu'ne.)
Wathi esebone ukuthi lokho kwakuwathabisa amaJuda, wabopha loPhethro njalo. Lokho kwenzakala ngezinsuku zoMkhosi weSinkwa esingelaMvubelo.
4 Heroti'a Pitama azeriteno avareno 4'a sondia vahe kevumofo (16'a sondia vahe) zamazampi ome antege'za, oza aza hu'za kava kri'naze. Heroti'a Pasova ne'za netesageno, amefi'a maka vahe zamufi Pitana azeri ama hunaku antahi'ne.
Esembophile wamphosela entolongweni, wamnikela ukuba alindwe ngamaviyo amane amabutho, ngalinye lilamabutho amane. UHerodi wayefuna ukuthi ngemva kwePhasika amkhuphele obala athonisiswe phambi kwabantu.
5 Ana higeno Pita'a kina nompi mani'nege'za, mono vahe'zagamo'za Anumzamo'ma azama hanigura hampo'nati'za nunamu hunte'naze.
Ngakho uPhethro wagcinwa entolongweni, kodwa ibandla lamkhulekela njalonjalo kuNkulunkulu.
6 Ana kenegera masenkeno okina Heroti'a avareno keaga huntegahianki nehigeno, Pita'a tare sondia netremokizni amu'nompi mase'negeno, tarega azantera seni nofiteti kina rentenageno, kva vahe'mo'za kina vahete kava kri'za kafante mani'naze.
Ngobusuku obandulela ukuthonisiswa kukaPhethro nguHerodi, uPhethro wayelele ephahlwe ngamabutho amabili, ebotshwe ngamaketane amabili, kumi abalindi emnyango wentolongo.
7 Anama nehazageno'a ame huno Ramofo ankeromo efore higeno, masamo'a kina vahe nona remsa hu'ne. Ankeromo'a Pitana asoparega aheno, Ame hunka otio! Higeno seni nofimo'a Pita azantetira evurami'ne.
Masinyane ingilosi yeNkosi yavela, kwabakhona ukukhanya kulelokamela lentolongo. Yathinta uPhethro ohlangothini, yamvusa yathi, “Phangisa, vuka!” Amaketane akhithika ezingalweni zikaPhethro.
8 Ankeromo'a amanage huno Pitana asami'ne, Kamu'nofira nehunka kaga nona vazio, higeno Pita'a aganona antanine. Anante ankeromo'a anage huno asami'ne, Anakre kuka'a nentaninka namage' eno hu'ne.
Ingilosi yasisithi kuye, “Gqoka, ufake lamanyathela akho.” UPhethro wenzenjalo. Ingilosi yamtshela yathi, “Yembatha ijazi lakho ungilandele.”
9 Pita'a amage' avaririno nevuno, ankeromo'ma azama hiazana agra antahino keno osu'neanagi, agra avana negofi huno hu'ne.
UPhethro wayilandela ngaphandle kwentolongo, kodwa wayedidekile engakwazi ukuthi lokho ingilosi eyayikwenza kwakusenzakala ngempela; wayekhumbula ukuthi ubona umbono.
10 Ese kafante kava hu'naza sondia vahe'ene, anante kafante kava hu'naza sondia vahe zamagterete'ne, ran kumapi vu kafana aenireti hagente'nea ran kafante akeno agra'a kafamo'a anagige'ne atirami'ne osi kampi nevakeno, ankeromo'a ame huno atreno vu'ne,
Bedlula kubalindi, owokuqala lowesibili bafika esangweni lensimbi elaliphumela edolobheni. Lazivulekela baphuma. Kwathi sebehambe baphutsha umgwaqo wedolobho, ingilosi yamtshiya.
11 Pita'a agrake nevuno amanage hu'ne, menina nagra antahi'noe, Ra Anumzamo'a ankeroma'a huntegeno, Heroti'ene Jiu vahe'mo'za maka'zama hunante'naku hazafintira naza huno katufe natre'ne.
Kwayikhona uPhethro enanzelela, wathi, “Khathesi sengisazi kungelakuthandabuza ukuthi iNkosi ithume ingilosi yayo yangihlenga ezibotshweni zikaHerodi lakukho konke obekufiswa ngamaJuda.”
12 Anante Pita'ma ana'ma hiaza antahino keno nehuno, Jonina mago agi'a Maki'e nehaza ne'mofo nerera Maria nontega, maka vahe'mo'za mani'neza nunamu nehazarega vu'ne
Sekumkhanyele kuhle lokhu, waqonda endlini kaMariya unina kaJohane, owayethiwa nguMakho njalo, khona lapho abantu abanengi babebuthene bekhuleka.
13 Anante Pita eno megi'a kafante eme vagare vagare higeno'a, Roda'e nehaza eri'za mofa'mo eno eme antahi'ne.
UPhethro waqoqoda entubeni yangaphandle, kwathi incekukazi eyayithiwa nguRoda yayabuza ukuthi ngubani owayesemnyango.
14 Pita ageruma nentahino'a, ana kafana onagi atreno tusi muse nehuno, agareno vuno Pita'a kafante oti'ne huno ana vahe zaga ome zamasmi'ne.
Isilizwile ilizwi likaPhethro yathaba kakhulu, yagijimela phakathi ingasawuvulanga, yabika yathi, “UPhethro usemnyango!”
15 Hu'neanagi zamagra anage ana mofakura hu'naze, Kagra negi nenegahane! Ana mofamo hanavetino tamage Pita'e nehige'za, kagra ankeroma'a ke'negahane hu'za mago'ane hu'naze.
Bathi, “Uyahlanya wena.” Kwathi ngoba wala elokhu ephikelela ukuthi liqiniso, bathi, “Kutsho ukuthi yingilosi yakhe.”
16 Pita'a vagare vagare nehigeno, zamagrama kafa anagi'za nege'za, nankna huno e'neha hu'za tusi'a antri hu'naze.
Kodwa uPhethro wala elokhu eqoqoda, bathi bevula umnyango bambona, bamangala kakhulu.
17 Agra azanu avame hige'za akohe'za mani'zageno Ramo'ma kina nompinti azama huno avare atre'nea kea zamasmi'ne. Ana huteno anage hu'ne, Jemisine mono nafuhe'ina ama ana nanekea zamasmiho huteno atreno ru kumatega vu'ne.
UPhethro wabatshengisa ngesandla ukuthi bathule, wasebalandisela ukuthi iNkosi imkhuphe kanjani entolongweni. Wathi, “Libotshela uJakhobe labazalwane ngalokhu.” Wasesuka waya kwenye indawo.
18 Ko'ma atige'za, kina nonte'ma kva hu'naza sondia vahe'mo'za tusiza hu'za Pita'a na'a hu'neha hu'za rama'a antahintahi hu'naze.
Ekuseni kwaba lokunyakazela okukhulu phakathi kwabebutho. Babuza bathi, “Kambe ngabe uPhethro wenzenjani?”
19 Anante Heroti'ma hakareno keama, keno erifore nosuno'a kavama hu'naza vahera kegaga huzmanteno tamagra frigahaze hige'za, zamahe friku zamare'za vazageno, henka Judiatira atreno uramino Sisaria umani'ne.
Kwathi uHerodi esemthungathe waze wabeka phansi, wathonisisa abalindi wasesithi kababulawe. UHerodi wasuka eJudiya waya eKhesariya wayahlala khona okwesikhathi esithile.
20 Anante Heroti'a Tairi kumate vahe'ene, Saito kumate vahe'mokizmigura arimpa ahezamantege'za, zamagra mago zamarimpa hu'za agrite emeri atru hu'za, kini ne'mofo tva'onte eri'za ne' Blastusi, zamaza hinogu rimpa azeri fru hute'za, knare nomanizama kini ne'mo'ma zamisigu antahige'naze. Na'ankure zamagrama kave'ma e'nerizana kini Heroti'ma kava kri'nea mopafinti e'neri'ze.
Wayekade exabana labantu beThire labeSidoni; basebehlangana ndawonye bacela ukukhuluma laye. Sebezuze ukusekelwa nguBhlastu inceku ethembekileyo enkosini, bacela ukuthula ngoba ukudla kwabo babekuthola elizweni lenkosi.
21 Mago kna erintaza knazupa, Kini Heroti'a kini vahe kukena huteno, keaga refakohu trate mani'neno zamagrira rama'a keaga zamasmi'ne.
Ngosuku olumisiweyo, uHerodi wagqoka izigqoko zobukhosi wahlala esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi, wasekhuluma ebantwini.
22 Hu'neanagi tusi'a vahe'mo'za agafa hu'za rankehu'za mago anumzamofo agerure, hanki vahe'mofo agerura omane'ne! hu'naze.
Bamemeza bathi, “Leli yilizwi likaNkulunkulu, hatshi elomuntu.”
23 Ana kema nehazama'a, mago Ramofo ankeromo Herotina ahe tre'ne, na'ankure Anumzamofo ra agi omigeno agrira knimo amprigeno fri'ne.
Masinyane nje, ngenxa yokuthi uHerodi wayengamkhonzi uNkulunkulu, ingilosi yeNkosi yamtshaya yamlahla phansi, wadliwa zimpethu wafa.
24 Hu'neanagi Anumzamofo kemo'a hageno rura huno vuno eno hu'ne.
Kodwa ilizwi likaNkulunkulu laqhubeka likhula njalo lisanda.
25 Banabasi'ene Solikea Jerusalemi mono eri'zama eri vagareteke, Jon Makina nevareke ete Antioku kumate vu'na'e.
Kwathi uBhanabhasi loSawuli sebewuqedile umlandu wabo, babuyela besuka eJerusalema, bahamba loJohane, owayethiwa nguMakho.
