Aposolo 19
1 Hagi apolosi'ma Korintima mani'negeno, Poli'a agu'afinka kumatamimpi ufreno vuno Efesasi kumate uhanatino, mago'a disaipol naga anantega ome zamageno erifore nehuno,
Kwasekusithi, uApolosi eseseKorinte, uPawuli wafika eEfesu esedabule indawo eziphakemeyo; wasefica abafundi abathile
2 zamagrikura anage hu'ne, tamagrama tamentintima hu'nazana, hago Ruotge Avamura erinafi? Higeno Agrikura anage hu'naze. A'o Ruotge Avamura mani'ne huta tagra ontahitfa hu'none.
wathi kubo: Lamemukela yini uMoya oNgcwele mhla likholwayo? Basebesithi kuye: Kodwa kasizanga sizwe ngitsho ukuthi kukhona uMoya oNgcwele.
3 Hazageno Poli'a zamantahige'ne, Nazamofonte mono tina fre'naze? Zamagra ke'nona hu'za, Joni'ma ti fre'zama huraveri'nea zantere.
Wasesithi kubo: Pho labhabhathizelwa kukuphi? Basebesithi: Kubhabhathizo lukaJohane.
4 Poli'a huno, Joni'ma tima frezmante'neana, zamasunku hu'za zamagu'a rukarehe hanaza tine huno frezmantene. Vahera zamasmino, agri amage'ma ne'emofonte Jisasimpi tamentinti hiho hu'ne.
Kodwa uPawuli wathi: UJohane isibili wabhabhathiza ubhabhathizo lokuphenduka, etshela abantu ukuze bakholwe kulowo oweza emva kwakhe, okuyikuthi, kuKristu Jesu.
5 Anankema antahite'za, Jisasi Ramofo agifi mono ti fre'naze.
Lalabo abezwayo babhabhathizwa ebizweni leNkosi uJesu.
6 Hagi Poli'ma zamagrite azama antegeno'a, Ruotge Avamu'mo'a zamagrite ege'za, agafa hu'za ruzamageru ruzmageru neru'za, henkama esiazamofo kasnampa kea huama hu'naze.
Wathi uPawuli esebeke izandla phezu kwabo, uMoya oyiNgcwele weza phezu kwabo; basebekhuluma ngendimi, baprofetha.
7 Ana mika vene'nea 12fu'a naza eritru hu'naze.
Njalo wonke amadoda ayengaba litshumi lambili.
8 Hagi 3'a ikamofo agu'afina, Poli'a osi mono nompi ufreno korera osuno, antahintahizamia eriama huno agrarega zamatreku Anumzamofo avu'ava zankura huankereno zamasmi'ne.
Wasengena esinagogeni wakhuluma ngesibindi, inyanga ezintathu etshumayela eqinisekisa izinto ngombuso kaNkulunkulu.
9 Hu'neanagi mago'amo'za antahi'za zami'mo'a hampo'na atige'za, zamentinti hu'zankura zamagena hunente'za, ana vahe'mokizmi zamufi Ramofo avariri kankura huhaviza hunentageno, zamagrira nezamatreno, Jisasi amage' nentaza disaipol naga nezamavareno, mago nera Tairanusi'e nehaza ne'mofo rempi huzami nonte via'zamo, mika zupa vahe'ene keaga hu'ne.
Kodwa kwathi abanye besiba lukhuni bengakholwa, bekhuluma kubi ngaleyondlela phambi kwabantu, wasuka kubo wehlukanisa abafundi, insuku ngensuku etshumayela esikolo sothile uTiranu.
10 Amanahu'zana tare kafufi fore huno vu'ne, tarega Jiu vahe'ene Griki vahe'ma Esia provinsifi nemani'za vahe'mo'za Ramofo naneke antahisazegu anahura hu'ne.
Lalokhu kwenzeka okweminyaka emibili, baze balizwa ilizwi leNkosi uJesu bonke abakhileyo eAsiya, amaJuda kanye lamaGriki.
11 Anumzamo'a Poli azampi huvazino rama'a ruzahu ruzahu avame'za mago'ane erifore hu'ne.
UNkulunkulu wasesenza imisebenzi yamandla engejwayelekanga ngezandla zikaPawuli,
12 Ana hinogu asime nehamia tavravene (ankasip), tavaravenaza eri'za Poli avufare eme avako hute'za, eri'za kri vahe zamufare ome antageno, krizmimo'a vaganeregeno, havi avamumo'a zamagripintira atirami'ne.
kwaze kwathi lakwabagulayo kwasiwa izifinyo kumbe amafasikoti okuvela emzimbeni wakhe, lezifo zasuka kubo, labomoya ababi baphuma kubo.
13 Mago kevu Jiu vahe'mo'za retro hu'za mago mago kumate vano vano nehu'za, Jisasi agifi huvame hu'za havi avamura huntenaku nehu'za, ana huvava hu'za nevu'za anage hu'naze. Poli'ma huama nehia Jisasi agifi atiramio huta tagra hunegantone.
Kwathi abanye kumihambuma yamaJuda, izanuse, bazama ukubiza ibizo leNkosi uJesu kulabo ababelabomoya ababi, besithi: Siyalifungisa ngoJesu amtshumayelayo uPawuli.
14 Mago Jiu vahe'mokizmi rankva nera Skeva'e nehaza ne'mofona, 7ni'a mofavre zaga'amo'za anahu'zana hu'naze.
Njalo kwakukhona amadodana ayisikhombisa athile kaSikeva umJuda umpristi omkhulu akwenzayo lokho.
15 Hianagi ana havi avamu'mo'a ke'nona zamire huno zamasmi'ne, Jisasina nagra ke'na antahi'na hu'na, Polina ke'noe, hagi tamagra izagate?
Kodwa umoya omubi waphendula wathi: UJesu ngiyamazi, loPawuli ngiyazi ngaye; kodwa lina lingobani?
16 Higeno agu'afima havi avamu'ma fre'nea ne'mo'a zamagumpi takaureno, himamutino zamaheno rehapatige'za, korankno eneri'za ana nompinti atiramiza zamufa zamapake fre'naze.
Lowomuntu okwakukuye umoya omubi waseseqela phezu kwabo, njalo wabehlula, wabanqoba, baze babaleka kuleyondlu benqunu belimele.
17 Efesasi kumate nemaniza Jiu vahe'ene Griki vahe'mo'zane ana ke nentahizageno, tusiza huno zamagogo nefege'za Anumza Jisasi agi'a erisaga hu'naze.
Lokhu kwasekusaziwa yibo bonke abakhileyo eEfesu amaJuda kanye lamaGriki; lokwesaba kwasekubehlela bonke; njalo lakhuliswa ibizo leNkosi uJesu.
18 Rama'a zamentinti vahe'mo'za eama hu'za zamasunku hu'za, havi zamu'zma'zana eriama hu'naze.
Labanengi balabo abakholwayo beza, bevuma, bememezela izenzo zabo.
19 Huama nehu'za zamene vahe'mo'zane avuatga vahe'mo'zane kre'naza avontafe tamina eri'za amate hakare vahe zamure tevefi kre hana hu'naze. Ana avontafe miza se'naza zagoa 50 tauseni'a zago atre'naze.
Labanengi balabo ababesenza amasalamusi baletha ingwalo ndawonye bazitshisa phambi kwabo bonke; basebebala intengo yazo, bathola izinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amahlanu zesiliva.
20 Ramofo hanavere, e'inahu'zana fore nehigeno, Ramofo nanekemo vuno eno huno hankavetino me'ne.
Ngokunjalo ilizwi leNkosi lakhula ngamandla lanqoba.
21 Anazana fore hutegeno Poli'a Masedonia kaziga vute'na Griki kaziga nevu'na Jerusalemi kumate vute'na, henka'a Romu kuma enena ome kegahue huno agesa antahine.
Kwathi lezizinto seziphelile, uPawuli wazimisela emoyeni, esedabule eMakedoniya leAkaya, ukuya eJerusalema, esithi: Emva kokuba kwami lapho, ngimele ukubona iRoma layo.
22 Tare azahu netrema, Timotine Erastusine huzanantegeke Masedonia kaziga vakeno, osi'agna Poli'a Esia mani'ne.
Esethume eMakedoniya ababili balabo ababemsiza, uTimothi loErastu, yena wahlala eAsiya okwesikhathi.
23 Ana knafina, Jisasi Kamofonkura tusi'a hazenke Efesasia fore hu'ne.
Kodwa ngalesosikhathi kwasuka isiphithiphithi esingesincinyane mayelana laleyondlela.
24 Na'ankure magora silvare tuzampaza tro nehia ne'mofo agi'a Demetriusikino, silvareti mago amema'a trohu'neana, Atemisi mono hunentea kna'za tro hu'ne. Anazama tro'ma nehaza naga'mo'za, tusi'a zagokrerafa anazantetira tro'nehaze.
Ngoba umuntu othile onguDemetriyu ngebizo, umkhandi wesiliva, owenza amathempelana esiliva kaDiyana, waletha kuzingcwethi inzuzo engencinyane;
25 Demetriusi'a anahu eri'zama antahi'naza eri'za vahera kehutru huno anage hu'ne. Ama vahe'motagi, amanahu eri'zantetira zagogrerafa erifore nehune hu'ne.
owabaqoqayo bona, lezisebenzi zezinto ezifananayo, wathi: Madoda, liyazi ukuthi inotho yethu ivela kulumsebenzi.
26 Hanki tamagra ketma antahitama nehaze, Efesasige ana nosianki, Esia kokampina Poli'ma vahetamina kema zamasamino, vahe'mo'ma azanteti'ma trohu'nea anumzana, e'i tamage huno anumzana omanitfa hune huno tusi'a vahe krerafa zamazeri ruvahe nehie.
Njalo liyabona liyezwa ukuthi kungeyisikho eEfesu kuphela, kodwa phose kulo lonke iAsiya, uPawuli lo uncengile njalo uphambule ixuku elikhulu, esithi kayisibo onkulunkulu abenziwe ngezandla.
27 Hago menina hazenke fore hu'ne, tagri zago erizankera eri havizana osugahie. Hianagi so'e a' anumza Atemisi mono nomo'a amne zankna hanigeno, Esia kokampi vahe'mo'zane, ama mopa kagi'afi vahe'mo'zama, mono hunentaza vahe'mo'za atre'sageno, ana a'mofo hanave'amo'a haviza hugahie.
Njalo kayisikho lokhu kuphela ukuthi sisengozini yokuthi lolugatsha lomsebenzi lufike ekutheni lungahlonitshwa, kodwa lethempeli likankulunkulukazi omkhulu uDiyana lizathiwa liyinto engesilutho, njalo lobukhulukazi bakhe buzakwehliswa, elimkhonzayo yonke iAsiya lomhlaba wonke.
28 Anankema nentahi'za, zamarimpamo'a haviza nehige'za oti'za keza ati'za Efesasia so'e rantia, Atemisi'a agrake mani'ne!
Kwathi bekuzwa bagcwala intukuthelo, bamemeza besithi: Mkhulu uDiyana wamaEfesu!
29 Higeno rankumapina rama'a kereso nehu'za, vahe'mo'za magoka zamagare'za krina nehazage'za mani'neza negaza kumapi (stetium) ufre'za, Mesadoniati Poli'enema e'na'a netre Gaiusine Aristakusikiznia zanavazu hu'za vu'naze.
Njalo umuzi wonke wagcwala isiphithiphithi; basebetheleka kanyekanye endaweni yokudlalela, bahudula uGayusi loAristako amaMakedoniya, abaphelekezeli bakaPawuli.
30 Poli'ma ana vahe'zagamo'ma atru hu'nefima ufreku'ma nehige'za, Jisasi amage nentaza disaipol naga'mo'za otre'naze.
Kwathi uPawuli efuna ukungena exukwini, abafundi kabamvumelanga.
31 Higeno mago'ene mago'a Esia kumate kva vahera, Polina knampa'agi'za anama atru hu'nafina keke huntonanki uofreno hu'za hampo'nati'za kea atrente'naze.
Njalo labanye bababusi beAsiya, ababengabangane bakhe, bathuma kuye, bemncenga ukuthi angazinikeli endaweni yokudlalela.
32 Higeno mago'amo'za magoke zanku kezati'zageno, mago'amo'za otage zanku kezatizageno, anama atru hu'za negaza vahe'mo'za tusi savari nehazageno, rama'amo'za nahige'za atru hu'nazo amara osu'naze.
Ngakho abanye bamemeza okunye labanye okunye; ngoba umhlangano wawusanganisekile, njalo inengi labo lalingazi ukuthi libuthene lapho ngenxa yani.
33 Vahepintira Aleksandana Jiu vahe'mo'za atufe'za zamuga eme nente'za, ama ana zamofo keaga eriama hunka zamasmio hu'za huhanaveti'naze. Aleksanda'a ama ana vahe'mo'zama hazankere nona huzmanteku azana antesga hu'ne.
Basebemusa phambili uAleksandro esuka exukwini, ngoba amaJuda amqhubela phambili. UAleksandro waseqhweba ngesandla, efuna ukuzivikela ebantwini.
34 Hu'neanagi kazama Aleksanda'a Jiu ne'ma mani'nege'za nege'za, ana mika vahe'mo'za magoke kere zamagerura erinte'za, 2'a auamofo agu'afina kezati'za, Efesasitira knare huno agatererfa rantia, Atemisi agrake mani'ne!
Kodwa bathi sebekwazi ukuthi ungumJuda, kwaba lelizwi elilodwa livela kubo bonke okungaba ngamahola amabili limemeza lisithi: Mkhulu uDiyana wamaEfesu!
35 Rankumapima avoma negrea (kuskus) ne'mo ana vahe kevua zamazeri rava huteno anage hu'ne. Efesasi vahe'motma antahiho, ina vahe'mo antahino keno osu'ne? Efesasia ranku'mamo'a Atemesi agetererfa ra anumzamofo mono nona kegava nehie. Ana a'mofo amema'a monafinti asga hurami'ne.
Njalo kwathi umabhalane eselithulisile ixuku wathi: Madoda eEfesu, kanti kukhona yini umuntu ongaziyo ukuthi umuzi weEfesu ungumlondolozi wethempeli likankulunkulukazi omkhulu uDiyana lowento eyawa ivela kuZewusi?
36 Ana hu'negu ama ana zankura ke hakare osugahaze. Taganetma mani'netma ame'amara osutma tamagesa antahitetma anazana hugahaze.
Ngakho njengoba lezizinto zingephikwe, kufanele lithule, lingenzi lutho ngamawala.
37 Na'ankure tamagrama, ama ana vene'nema zamaretma e'nazana, ra mono nompintira kumazafa ose'na'e, tagrama anteneta mono hunentona a' anumzankura (goddess) huhavizana huonte'na'e.
Ngoba lilethe lamadoda, angeyisibo abaphangi bamathempeli langahlambazi unkulunkulukazi wenu.
38 E'ina'ma Demetriusi'o agrane eri'za eneriza naga'mo'zama rumokizmima huzmante'nesigetma ke refakohu nonte zamaretma vinke'za, kva vahe'mofo zamure keaga hugantu hugama hugahaze.
Ngakho uba uDemetriyu lezingcwethi kanye laye belodaba ngomuntu, amalanga okuthonisa amacala ayagcinwa, bakhona lababusi; kabamangalelane.
39 Hu'neanagi mago'anema keagama hunaku hanutma, vahe'ma atruhu'za keagama azerirva nehaza knazupa kanisol vahete mareritma azerirava hugahaze.
Kodwa uba lidinga ulutho ngezinye izinto, kuzalungiswa emhlanganweni osemthethweni.
40 Na'ankure menima kehakarema nehuna zankuma, Romu rankva vahe'mo'za tantahigesageta hazenkefi manigahune. Na'ankure eriama huta zamasmisuna knare agafa'a omane'ne.
Ngoba futhi sisengozini yokumangalelwa ngomvukela ngenxa yalamuhla, kungelambangela esingalandisa ngayo ngalesisiphithiphithi.
41 E'inahu kema huno nezmasmino'a, ana atrua eritrege'za vuza e'za hu'naze.
Njalo esetshilo lokho, wawuchitha umhlangano.
