Ngemva kwensuku ezintathu efikile esifundeni uFestasi, wasuka eKhesariya waya eJerusalema

2 Higeno ugagota mono kva vahe'ene Jiu vahepinti zamagi me'nea vahe'mo'za, Polina havige hu'za keaga eme agrite huntenaze.

lapho abaphristi abakhulu labakhokheli bamaJuda bema phambi kwakhe beneka amacala kaPhawuli.

Bamcela ngokuphangisa uFestasi, ukuba abenzele umusa, abalethele uPhawuli eJerusalema, ngoba babeceba ukumcathamela bambulale endleleni.

4 Hianagi Festusi'a kenona huno, Polina ko azeri'za kina hunte'za azerintageno Sisaria mani'neanki'na, nagra atupa knafi atrena Sisaria vugahue, hu'ne.

UFestasi waphendula wathi, “UPhawuli uvalelwe eKhesariya, njalo mina ngokwami Ngiya khona masinyane.

5 Nehuno anage hu'ne, Zamatrenke'za kva vahekamo'za nagrane urami'za, ama ne'mo'ma mago'a havizama hu'nesniazama me'nesige'za kesu'za, zamagra keaga agrira hunteho.

Akuthi abanye abakhokheli bakini bahambe lami bafike bamethese amacala khonale, nxa kukhona akonileyo.”

6 Festusi'a zamagranema 8'o 10'a kna agateoreno, osi'a knama maniteno'a Sisaria uramino, hagi mago knarera keaga refakohu trate unemanino, Polina avareta eho huno huzmante'ne.

Esehlale insuku eziyisificaminwembili loba ezilitshumi labo, wehlela eKhesariya, kwathi ngosuku olulandelayo wangenisa inkundla wathi kalethwe uPhawuli phambi kwakhe.

7 Poli'ma ehanatige'za, Jerusalemiti e'naza Jiu vahe'mo'za, azeri amunompi ante'za otigagine'za, rama'a hamponanentake kea huntaza kemofona agafa omanetfa hu'ne.

Esefikile uPhawuli amaJuda ayebuyile evela eJerusalema ambuthanela, ethula amacala amanengi esabekayo ngaye, kodwa engelabufakazi ngawo.

8 Agri'ama azama hania nanekea Poli'a anage hu'ne, Nagra Jiu vahe Tra Kea eri haviza osu'noe, ra mono nona eri haviza osuge, Sisana havizana huontetfa hu'noe.

UPhawuli wasezivikela wathi, “Angenzanga lutho oluphikisa umlayo wamaJuda kumbe ukudumaza ithempeli, kumbe oluphikisa uKhesari.”

9 Hianagi Festusi'a Jiu vahe'mo'za musema huntesaza kazigati Poli antahigeno, kagra knare Jerusalemia mareri'nanke'na naneke ka'a ome antahigahufi?

UFestasi wayefuna ukwenzela amaJuda umusa, wathi kuPhawuli, “Uyavuma na ukuya eJerusalema ukuthi ngiyekuthonisela khona amacala la?”

10 Higeno Poli'a kenona'arera anage hu'ne, Nagri'ma keagama hunantekure hazare, Sisa'ma keagama refako nehia tra'are menina oti'noe. Nagra Jiu vahera havizana huozmantetfa hu'noe. Ama tamageginka kagra ko antahi ankere'nane.

Waphendula uPhawuli wathi, “Khathesi sengisiyakuma phambi kwenkundla kaKhesari, lapho engifanele ukuthonisiswa khona. Kangonanga lutho kumaJuda, njengoba lawe usazi kakuhle.

11 Hagi nagrama haviza hunesuge'za frigahane hu'za zamagra hanazana, fri'zankura korera ofregahue. Hu'neanagi zamagrama mago kema hunantesaza kemo'ma tamage agafa'ama omanenesiana, mago ne'mo'a amuha osu'neankino zamagri zamazampina navare ontegahie. Nagra ama keaga Sisante retufentoankino agra refako hugahie.

Kodwa, nxa ngilecala lokwenza loba yini efanele ukufa kangali ukubulawa. Kodwa nxa lawomacala engiwetheswa ngamaJuda la engasiqiniso, kakho olelungelo lokunginikela kuwo. Ngilidlulisela kuKhesari!”

12 Higeno Festusi'a kanisol vahe'enema atru huno keagama huteno'a, ke'nona hunteno, Hago nasaminka Sisante retufentoe hanankinka Sisante vugahane huno asami'ne.

UFestasi esehlanganise amakhanda lomphakathi wakhe, wathi, “Usulidlulisele kuKhesari. Uzakuya-ke kuKhesari!”

13 Mago'agna evutegeno kini nera Agripake nesaro Benaisikea, Festusi antahimi'ne nantu antenteke Sisaria urami'na'e.

Sekuyizinsuku ezimbalwa ngemva kwalokho iNkosi u-Agripha loBhenikhe bafika eKhesariya ukuyaqinisa ubudlelwano laye uFestasi.

14 Anantega mago'a za'za kna umani'nakeno, Poli agenkea Festusi'a antahintahi'a erinaku Agripana anage huno asmi'ne, Feliksi'a mago nera kina nompi ante'ne.

Njengoba babezachitha insuku ezinengi khona, uFestasi wakhuluma leNkosi ngendaba kaPhawuli. Wathi, “Kulendoda lapha eyatshiywa nguFelikhe iyisibotshwa.

15 Jerusalemi mani'noge'za, mono nonte ugagota kva (hai pristi) vahe'ene, Jiu ranra (eldas) vahe'mo'za agri agenkea nenasmi'za hugeta ahe frimaneno hu'za nantahige'naze.

Ngathi ngiseJerusalema, abaphristi abakhulu labadala bamaJuda bayimangalela ngamacala athile, bacela ukuthi ibulawe.

16 Nagra kenona zamire anage hu'noe, Romu vahe'mofo avu'ava'mo'a, keagama mago vahe'ma hunteku'ma hanimo'a, agri'ma keagama hunteku'ma hanamokizmi zamure otino, agri'ma huntesaza kemofona azahu nanekea hutesige'za henka avaremigahaze.

Ngabatshela ukuthi kakusimkhuba wamaRoma ukunikela umuntu engakahlanganiswa labamangaleli bakhe, waphiwa ithuba lokuzivikela kulawo macala abambeka wona.

17 Hu'neanki'na amare'ma atruma hazage'na, ama ana kea huretufe onte'noe. Hagi anante knazupa keagama refakohu trate unemani'na, avaretma egahaze hu'noe.

Bathi sebefikile lapha behamba lami, ngahle ngalingenisa icala, kodwa inkundla ngayihlanganisa ngosuku olulandelayo, ngathi indoda leyo kayingeniswe.

18 Keaga hunteku'ma haza vahe'mo'za oti'za zamagrama keaga hunte'nazana, havizama hu'nesia zante keaga huntegahaze hu'na nagesama antahi'noa kantera huonte'naze.

Sebephakamile ukuba bakhulume, kabasambekanga lawomacala engangiwakhumbula.

19 Hagi zamagrazmi mono'mofo zanku'ene mago nera Jisasi'e hu'za nehaza ne'ma fri'nea zanku'ma, Poli'ma huno mani'ne hu'nea zanku agenoka humare'za agripi atre'naze.

Kodwa, kulezinto ezithile ababephikisana ngazo laye mayelana lenkolo yabo langenye indoda eyafayo ethiwa nguJesu, uPhawuli athi yena iyaphila.

20 Agri'ma hunentaza kemofo agafa'a, nagra ke'na erifore osua kazigati Jerusalemi eteno vanige'za amanahu keagama hunte'naza kea ome erifatgo husanifi hu'na knarerema hanigu antahige'noe.

Ngisuke ngadideka ukuthi ngizicubungule njani izindaba ezinjalo; yikho ngimbuzile ukuthi angavuma yini ukuya eJerusalema ayethonisiswa khona ngamacala la.

21 Hianagi Poli'ma huno ete nazeri antenkena kina nompi mani'nesugeno, Sisa'a na'ane keaga hunantegahifi antahineno hige'na, nagra hanavege huzmantoanki'za, agrira kava krinte'nesagena, inanknarero eri fatgoma hutesu'na, Sisantera (Empra) huntesugeno vugahie.

Kuthe uPhawuli esethe ucela icala lakhe limiswe liyoqunywa nguMbusi oMkhulu, ngathi kagcinwe entolongweni ngize ngimdlulisele kuKhesari.”

22 Nehigeno anante Agripa'a anage huno Festusina asami'ne, nagranena ana ne'mofo kea nagra'ni'a nagesafinti antahinaku nehue, higeno Festusi'a okine huno Agripana asami'ne.

U-Agripha wasesithi kuFestasi, “Ngifuna ukuthi kengiyizwe mina ngokwami indoda leyo.” Waphendula wathi, “Uzayizwa kusasa.”

23 Hianagi anante knarera, Agripake Benasikea mizama'amo marerisa kukena huteke, ana vahe'zagama atruma hu'naza tusi'a nompi ha' kaziga keagare'ma ugagote'naza kva vahe'ene (commanding officers), rankumapi ranra kva vahe'ene ufrageno Festusi'a ke huzmantege'za Polina avare'za e'naze.

Kusisa u-Agripha loBhenikhe bafika ngodumo olukhulu bangena emthethwandaba lezikhulu zakhona ezaziwayo kanye labakhokheli bedolobho. UFestasi wathi uPhawuli kalethwe.

24 Efrageno Festusi'a anage hu'ne, Kini ne' Agripagane miko tagrane mani'naza vahe'motma ama nera keho, maka Jiu vahe krerafamo'za keaga huntenaku nagrite eri'za Jerusalemine amafinema eri'za e'nazana kezati'za, Polina ahe frisnageno mago'enena amafina omanigahie hu'naze.

UFestasi wasesithi, “Nkosi Agripha, lani lonke elikhona lathi lapha, liyayibona indoda le! Sonke isizwe samaJuda eJerusalema lakhona lapha eKhesariya senza isikhalazo kimi bememeza ukuthi kayisafanelanga ukuthi ibe ilokhu iphila.

25 Hu'neanagi nagrama hakena erifore'ma huana, agri'ma ahe friga agafa omanetfa hu'ne. Hagi agrama ana kumate'ma ugagote'nea ne' Sisante'ma keaga'ama mago'ene retufentoe hu'negu, nagra Polina avretrenaku nagesa antahi'noane.

Ngafumana ukuthi kwakungelalutho alwenzayo olufanele ukufa, kodwa ngenxa yokuthi wacela ukudluliselwa kuMbusi oMkhulu, ngakhetha ukuthi ngimdlulisele eRoma.

26 Hu'neanagi agri nanekema, nagrama kre'na rani'a (lord) amiga keaga nagripina omanetfaza hu'negu tmagrite'ene amu Kini ne' Agripaga tamagrama haketma keso'e hutesage'na, nagra avona kresue hu'na Polina avare'na tamagritera neoe.

Kodwa kakulalutho olubambekayo engizalulobela uMhlekazi ngaye. Ngakho sengimlethe lapha phambi kwenu lonke, ikakhulu phambi kwakho wena Nkosi Agripha, ukuze kuthi ngemva kokumhlola hlezi ngithole ulutho engingaluloba.

27 Na'ankure nagrama nagesama nentahuana mago kina ne'ma keaga huntaza kemo'ma, knare agafa omnenesire'ma huntezamo'a knarera osugahie.

Ngibona kungaba liphutha elikhulu ukuthumela isibotshwa ngingacacanga ngamacala esiwetheswayo.”
