Ebandleni elalise-Antiyokhi kwakulabaphrofethi labafundisi: uBhanabhasi, loSimiyoni owayethiwa nguNigeri, loLusiya waseKhureni, loManayeni (owayekhuliswe loHerodi umbusi) kanye loSawuli.
2 Anamo'za Ramofonte mono hunente'za, ne'za a'o hu'za nunamu nehazageno, Ruotge Avamu'mo'a anage hu'ne, Banabasine Soli kizni huhampri znante'keno, eri'za eriogu hua eri'zana eri'o hu'ne.
Kwathi beyikhonza iNkosi njalo bezilile uMoya oNgcwele wathi, “Ngahlukaniselani uBhanabhasi loSawuli baye emsebenzini engibabizele wona.”
3 Ana hute'za ne'zama a'o hu'za mani'neza henka zamazana znagofetu ante'za nunamu hute'za huzamantake'ne vu'na'e.
Ngakho bathi sebezilile njalo sebekhulekile, bababeka izandla babakhupha.
4 Banabasine Soli kiznia Ruotge Avamu'mo huznantege'ne Selusia uramike vente omerike Saiprusi ti amu'nompi me'nea kumate vu'na'e.
Bonke bobabili baholwa nguMoya oNgcwele, behlela eSelusiya lapho abawela khona ngomkhumbi baya eSiphrasi.
5 Zamagrama Saramisi kumate vute'za, agafa hu'za Anumzamofo kea Jiu vahe osi mono nompi (Sinagog) huama hu'naze. Zanaza hanigu Joninena avare'ke umani'naze. (Mago agi'a Jon Maki'e.)
Bathi sebefikile eSalami, balitshumayela ilizwi likaNkulunkulu emasinagogweni amaJuda. UJohane wayelabo engumsizi wabo.
6 Zamagrama maka ti amunompi kumatami agatere'za nevu'za Pafosi uhanati'za zago nereno Jiu vahepi havige kasnampa nera, Bar Jisasi'e nehaza nera mani'negeke ke'na'e.
Basibhoda sonke isihlenge baze bafika ePhafosi. Khonapho bafumana umJuda oyisanuse, njalo engumphrofethi wamanga owayethiwa nguBha-Jesu,
7 Ana nera, Segius Paulosi knare antahizamo agatere'nea ne' Romu kamanimo huhamprintegeno ana ti amu'nompi kuma kava hu'nea ne'ene mani'ne, ana kamani kva (gavana) ne'mo'a Banabasine Soli kizni Anumzamofo ke eme asami'ogu zanagi hu'ne.
wayeyinceku kasibalukhulu, uSegiyasi Phawuli. Usibalukhulu lowo, indoda ekhaliphileyo, yathumela ukuthi kubizwe uBhanabhasi loSawuli ngoba wayefuna ukuzwa ilizwi likaNkulunkulu.
8 Hu'neanagi amene ne' Elimasi'a zago nereno ha' arezmanteno ana kamani kva ne'mo amentinti osanie hu'ne. (Elimasi'e huno Griki kefi hu'neana, avuatga huno zago nereno vahe zamahe fri nere hu'ne.)
Kodwa u-Elima isanuse (phela yikho ibizo lakhe elikutshoyo) waphikisana labo wazama ukuphambula usibalukhulu ekukholweni.
9 Hu'neanagi Solina, mago agi'a Polikino, Ruotge Avamumo'a agu'afi avinetegeno avua kefatgo huno ana ne' negeno,
Kwasekusithi uSawuli, owayethiwa njalo nguPhawuli, egcwele uMoya oNgcwele, wamjolozela u-Elima wathi,

“Wena ungumntakaSathane lesitha sakho konke okulungileyo! Ugcwele zonke inhlobo zenkohliso lokudlelezela. Kawuyikufa wakhawula yini ukuhlinikeza izindlela eziqondileyo?
11 Menina ko, Anumzamofo azamo'a ha' reganteankino kavurgamo'a asu hanigenka, osi'a knafina kavua onkegahane! Higeno ame huno avumo'a asu higeno, azante azerino vanohu vaheku hakre'ne.
Khathesi-ke, isandla seNkosi sizakutshaya. Uzakuba yimpumputhe, awuzukubona ukukhanya kwelanga okwesikhathi esithile.” Masinyane wehlelwa yinkungu lomnyama, waphumputha, waswela umuntu wokumhola ngesandla.
12 Anante kamani (Gavana) kva ne'mo anazama agrite fore hiaza negeno, amentinti hu'ne. Na'ankure agra tusi'za huno Ramofonkema rempima humia zankura antri hu'ne.
Kwathi usibalukhulu esekubonile lokho okwakwenzakele wakholwa, ngoba wamangaliswa yimfundiso ngeNkosi.
13 Anante Poli'ene agrane vu'naza vahe'mo'za Pafosi kuma atre'za ventefi mareri'za hagerimpi vu'za Pega kumate Pamfalia kaziga ehanati'naze. Hianangi Joni'a anante ome zanatreno ete Jerusalemi kumate vu'ne.
Besuka ePhafosi uPhawuli labaphelekezeli bakhe bawela ngomkhumbi baya ePhega esePhamfiliya lapho uJohane abatshiya khona esebuyela eJerusalema.
14 Pega kumara atreke, zanagra Pisidia Antioku ehanatike, mani fruhu knazupa osi mono nompi (sinagog) marerike umani'na'e.
Besuka ePhega baya e-Antiyokhi yasePhisidiya. NgeSabatha bangena esinagogweni bahlala phansi.
15 Kasegene kasnampa vahe kema hampri vagarete'za osi mono nompi kva vahe'mo'za ke atrezmante'za anage hu'naze, Tafuheta mago'a tazeri hanaveti ke eri'nenutma amane hugahaze.
Sekubaliwe eMthethweni labaPhrofethi, abaphathi besinagogu bedlulisela ilizwi kubo lisithi, “Bazalwane, nxa lilelizwi lokukhuthaza abantu, khulumani.”
16 Hazageno Poli'a anante otino azanu avame huno anage hu'ne, Israel vahe'motmane megi'a vahe'ma Anumzamofonku koroma nehaza'motma antahiho.
UPhawuli wasukuma welekelela ngesandla wathi, “Madoda ako-Israyeli kanye lani abeZizwe elimesabayo uNkulunkulu, ngilalelani!
17 Ama'i Israeli vahe'mofo Anumzamo'a, tagri tagehe'ina huhampri zamanteno, ru vahe kumapima Isipima umani'nageno zamazeri knare zantfa nehuno hihamu'areti anampintira zamare megi atre'ne.
UNkulunkulu wabantu bako-Israyeli wakhetha okhokho bethu wenza abantu baphumelela ngesikhathi behlezi eGibhithe. Ngamandla amakhulu wabakhupha kulelolizwe
18 40'a kafufi ka'ma mopafi zamareno ome zamantege'za mani'naze.

Wachitha izizwe eziyisikhombisa eKhenani wanika ilizwe lazo abantu bakhe laba yilifa labo.

Konke lokho kwathatha iminyaka engamakhulu amane lamatshumi amahlanu. Ngemva kwalokhu uNkulunkulu wababekela abahluleli kwaze kwaba yisikhathi sikaSamuyeli umphrofethi.
21 Anante kini ne' tamisane hu'za antahigageno, Anumzamo'a Kisi nemofo Benzameni naga nofipinti ne' Soli zamigeno, 40'a zagegfufi kini manino kva huzmante'ne.
Abantu bacela inkosi, wabanika uSawuli indodana kaKhishi, owesizwana sikaBhenjamini, wabusa iminyaka engamatshumi amane.
22 Anumzamo'a kini Solina azeri netreno, Deviti azeri otigeno kini manino kva huzmante'ne. Agra anage huno Devitinkura hu'ne, Nagra kogeno Jesi nemofo Deviti'a, Nagri'ma nagu'afima navenesia'zana agra nevaririno, maka'zama huo hanuazana hugahie. (Sam-Zga 89:20, 1 Sam 13:14)
Ngemva kokuba esemsusile uSawuli, wabeka uDavida waba yinkosi. Wafakaza ngaye wathi, ‘Sengifumane uDavida indodana kaJese, indoda ethandwa yinhliziyo yami; uzakwenza konke engifuna ukuba akwenze.’
23 Ama ana ne'mofo negehompinti, Anumzamo'a Israeli vahe'mota tahoke'ma heno tazahu nera Jisasina huvempa hu'nea kante anteno tami'ne.
Esizukulwaneni salindoda uNkulunkulu uselethe ko-Israyeli uMsindisi uJesu njengokuthembisa kwakhe.
24 Jisasi'ma hakare'a Israeli vahe zamufi eama osu'negeno, Joni'a huama huno mono tina fretma tamagu'a rukrehe hiho huno maka Israeli vahe'mota tasami'ne.
Mandulo kokufika kukaJesu, uJohane watshumayela ukuphenduka lokubhaphathizwa kubo bonke abantu bako-Israyeli.
25 Hu'neanagi Joni'ma huhamprinte'nea eri'zama'a eri vaga reteno'a, mago'ene anage hu'ne, iza'e hutma nagrikura nentahize? Nagra ana nera omani'noe. Hu'neanagi antahiho, mago'mo'a namage ne-e. Nagra knarera osu'noanki'na agia anonte'ma anaki'nea nofira katu ofegahue huno hu'ne.
UJohane esewuphetha umsebenzi wakhe wathi, ‘Licabanga ukuthi ngingubani na? Kangisuye lowo. Hatshi, kodwa uyeza ngemva kwami, omanyathela akhe akungilingananga ukuthi ngiwathukulule.’
26 Nafuhetma Abrahamu agigo azankomofo nagare, amama Anumzanku koro nehu'za tamagrane mani'naza megi'a vahe'motma kumipinti tazahu kea tagrite atregeno e'ne.
Bazalwane, bantwana baka-Abhrahama lani beZizwe elimesabayo uNkulunkulu, lelilizwi lensindiso selithunyelwe kithi.

Abantu baseJerusalema kanye lababusi babo kabamamukelanga uJesu, ikanti kwathi ngokumlahla bagcwalisa amazwi abaphrofethi afundwayo ngamaSabatha wonke.
28 Ahe fri agafagura ke'za erifore osu'za, zamagra Paerotinte vu'za, antahige'za ahe frio hu'za hu'naze.
Lokuba bengazange bafumane ubufakazi obuqondileyo ukuthi agwetshelwe ukubulawa, bacela uPhilathu ukuthi abulawe.

Bathi sebekwenzile konke lokho okwakulotshwe ngaye, bamethula esiphambanweni bamlalisa ethuneni.

Kodwa uNkulunkulu wamvusa kwabafileyo,

Wabonwa okwensuku ezinengi yilabo abahamba laye besuka eGalile besiya eJerusalema. Manje yibo asebe ngofakazi ebantwini bakithi.
32 Hanki neragehokizmima huvempa huzmante'nea Knare Musenke tagrama neramasmunana,

usesigcwalisele khona, thina abantwababo, ngokumvusa uJesu kwabafileyo. Njengalokhu kulotshiwe eHubeni lesibili ukuthi: ‘UyiNdodana yami; lamhla sengibe nguYihlo.’
34 Hu'neanagi e'ima hunte'nere, Anumzamo'a tamage huno Jisasina azeri oti'neankino mago'anena frino onkasritfa hugahie, Anumzamo'a anage huno hu'ne, Nagra agru huno ruotge hu'nea huvempa asomu ke Devitima ami'noana, menina tamagrira tamigahue, (Ais 55:3)
Lokho ukuthi uNkulunkulu wamvusa kwabafileyo, engasoze abole lanini, kucacisiwe emazwini la: ‘Ngizakunika izibusiso ezingcwele eziqinisekileyo ezathenjiswa uDavida.’
35 E'ina hu'negu mago'ene zagame avon tafepina anage huno kre'ne, Kagra atresankeno ruotge hu'nemo'a onkasrigahie. (Sam-Zga 16:10)
Kanjalo kulotshiwe kwenye indawo ukuthi: ‘Kawusoze wekele oNgcwele wakho abone ukubola.’
36 Deviti'a, agrama manino e'nea knafina Anumzamo'ma erigahane huno hunte'nea eri'zana eri vagareteno, frige'za negehoma asentenafi ome asentageno avufamo'a kasri'ne.
Ngoba kwathi uDavida eseyifezile injongo kaNkulunkulu ngalesosikhathi aphila kuso, walala; wangcwatshwa labokhokho bakhe, umzimba wakhe wabola.
37 Hu'neanagi Jisasina fri'nefinti Anumzamo azeri otigeno onkasri'ne.
Kodwa lowo uNkulunkulu amvusayo kwabafileyo kazange akubone ukubola.
38 E'ina hu'negu nenafutma antahita keta hiho, ama ana ne'pinti kumi tamia eri atresia ke huama hu'na neramasmune.

Ngaye bonke abakholwayo sebehlanjululwe ezonweni zonke abebengeke bahlanjululwe kuzo ngomthetho kaMosi.
40 Ana hu'negu tamagra kava hu'nenkeno, kasnampa vahe'mo'za hu'naza nanekemo'a tmagritera fore osino.
Qaphelani ukuthi lokho okwakhulunywa ngabaphrofethi kungenzakali kini, ukuthi:

‘Khangelani, lina bachothozi, mangalani libhubhe, ngoba ensukwini zenu ngizakwenza into elingasoze liyikholwe lanxa kube lalingakutshelwa ngubani.’”
42 Anage huteke Poli'ene Banabasike atineramike'za, vahe'mo'za ama ana nanekea ru mani fruhu kna (sabat) zupa knare eme tasmigaha'o, hu'za zanasmi'naze.
Kwathi uPhawuli loBhanabhasi sebesuka esinagogweni abantu babacela ukuthi babuye bazokhuluma njalo ngalezizinto ngeSabatha elilandelayo.
43 Mono'ma osi mono nompi (sinagog) huvagarete'za, vu'za e'za nehazage'za, rama'a Jiu vahe'mo'zane, Anumzanku koro nehaza megi'a vahe'mo'za, Poline Banabasi kizani zanavriri'za nevzage'ne, zamazeri hanaveti ke hu'ne, Anumzamofo asunku'zampina hanavetita maniho hu'ne ana vahera zamasmi'na'e.
Abantu sebechithekile amaJuda amanengi lamakholwa ayephendukele enkolweni yesiJuda balandela uPhawuli loBhanabhasi, bona bakhuluma labo bebakhuthaza ukuthi baqhubeke bebambelele emuseni kaNkulunkulu.
44 Hanki anante mani fruhu kna (Sabat) zupa, ran kumapi mani'naza vahe'mo'za kuma azute'za Ramofo ke antahinaku emeritru hu'naze.
NgeSabatha elilandelayo phose lonke idolobho labuthana ukuzakuzwa ilizwi leNkosi.

Kwathi amaJuda ebona amaxuku abantu, aba lomona, akhuluma ehlambaza lokho okwakutshiwo nguPhawuli.

UPhawuli loBhanabhasi basebewaphendula ngesibindi bathi, “Bekumele silikhulume kini ilizwi likaNkulunkulu kuqala. Kodwa njengoba lililahla ngoba lizibona lina lingakufanelanga ukuphila okungapheliyo, khathesi sesiphendukela kwabeZizwe. (aiōnios g166)

Phela nanku iNkosi esisiyale khona yathi: ‘Sengilenze isibane sabeZizwe, ukuthi lilethe insindiso emikhawulweni yomhlaba.’”
48 Megi'a vahe'mo'za ana naneke nentahi'za muse nehu'za, Ramofo kegura tusi'za hu'za musenkase nehazageno, manivava zamasimu erigahaze huno huhampri zamante'nea vahe'mo'za zamentinti hu'naze. (aiōnios g166)
Kwathi abeZizwe bekuzwa lokhu bathaba, balidumisa ilizwi leNkosi; kwathi bonke ababemiselwe ukuphila okungapheliyo bakholwa. (aiōnios g166)
49 Ana hazageno Ramofo kemo'a ana mopa kaziga zamukino vuno eno hu'ne.
Ilizwi leNkosi landa umango wonke.

Kodwa amaJuda athela umoya omubi kwabesifazane abahlonitshwayo ababekholwa lamadoda ayengabakhokheli bedolobho. Akhwezela ukuhlukuluzwa kukaPhawuli loBhanabhasi, abaxotsha emangweni wakibo.

Abafundi bagcwala ngentokozo langoMoya oNgcwele.
