Matendo ya Mitume 15
1 Bhanu fulani bhaselili kuhoma Uyahudi ni kubhamanyesya bhalongo, bhakajonha, “Mkabela kutahiribhwa kama desturi jha Musa, mwibhwesya lepi kuolibhwa.”
Kwasekusehla abathile bevela eJudiya, bafundisa abazalwane ukuthi: Nxa lingasokwanga ngokwesiko likaMozisi, lingesindiswe.
2 Bwakati Paulo ni Barnaba bhobhajhele na mapambano ni mjadala pamonga na bhalongo bhaamuili kujha Paulo, Barnaba ni bhangi kadhaa bhalotayi Yerusalemu kwa mitume ni bhaseya kwandabha jhe liswali e'le.
Ngakho kwathi sekulokuphambana lokuphikisana okungekuncinyane ngoPawuli loBarnabasi bemelane labo, bamisa ukuthi uPawuli loBarnabasi labanye abathile kubo benyukele kubaphostoli labadala eJerusalema, ngaloludaba.
3 Henu kwa kulaghisibhwa kwa bhene, ni kanisa bhapetili Foinike ni Samaria bhakajha bhitangasyali furaha mbaha kwa bhalongobha bhoha.
Ngakho, kwathi sebephelekezelwe libandla, badabula iFenekiya leSamariya, balandisa ngokuphenduka kwabezizwe; benzela bonke abazalwane intokozo enkulu.
4 Bho bhahidili Yerusalemu, bhakaribisibhu ni kanisa ni mitume ni bhaseya, na bhawasilishi taarifa jha mambo ghoha ambagho K'yara abhombili pamonga nabhu.
Kwathi sebefikile eJerusalema, bemukelwa libandla labaphostoli labadala, njalo balandisa ukuthi zingakanani izinto uNkulunkulu ayezenze labo.
5 Lakini bhanu fulani bhabhaamini bhajhele mu likundi lya Mafarisayo bhajhemili ni kujobha, “ni muhimu kubhatahiri ni kubhaamuru bhayikamulayi sheria jha Musa,”
Kodwa kwasukuma abanye abakholwayo abangabehlelo labaFarisi, besithi: Kufanele ukubasoka, lokubalaya bagcine umlayo kaMozisi.
6 Hivyo mitume nibhaseya bhajhemi pamonga kulifikirila liswala e'le.
Kwasekubuthana abaphostoli labadala ndawonye ukuze baluhlole loludaba.
7 Baada jha majadiliano matali Petro ajhenuli ni kujobha kwa bhene, “Bhalongo mumanyili kujha kitambo kinofu kyakilotili K'yara abhombili lichaguo jha muenga, kujha kwa ndomo ghwangu mataifa bhapelekayi lilobhi lya injili, ni kuamini.
Kwathi sebephikisene kakhulu, uPetro wasukuma wathi kubo: Madoda bazalwane, lina liyazi ukuthi ensukwini zakuqala uNkulunkulu wakhetha phakathi kwethu, ukuthi ngomlomo wami abezizwe balizwe ilizwi levangeli, bakholwe.
8 K'yara jha aghimanyili mioyo, ishuhudila kwa bhene, akabhapela Roho mtakatifu, kama kyaabhombili kwa tete;
Njalo uNkulunkulu umazi wenhliziyo wabafakazela, ebanika uMoya oyiNgcwele, lanjengathi;
9 na atengenisilepi utofauti kati jha tete ni bhene, akajhibhomba mioyo jhya bhene minofu kwa imani.
futhi kehlukanisanga phakathi kwethu labo, ehlambulula inhliziyo zabo ngokholo.
10 Kwa hiyo, kwanajhakiki mukan'jaribu K'yara kujha mubhekayi nira panani pa nsingu sya bhanafunzi ambabho hata bhadadi jhitu wala tete twibhwesyalepi kustahimili?
Pho-ke limlingelani uNkulunkulu, ngokubeka ijogwe entanyeni yabafundi, obaba bethu kanye lathi esingabanga lamandla okulithwala?
11 Lakini twikiera kujha twibetakuokolibhwa kwa neema jha Bwana Yesu, kama kyabhajhele.”
Kodwa sikholwa ukuthi sisindiswa ngomusa weNkosi uJesu Kristu, ngandlelanye labo.
12 Kusanyiku lyoha lyagudeme bho bhakampelekesya Barnaba ni Paulo bho bhihomesya taarifa jha ishara ni maajabu ambagho K'yara abhombi pamonga nabhu kati jha bhanu bha mataifa.
Ixuku lonke laselithula; laselisizwa uBarnabasi loPawuli belandisa ukuthi zingakanani izibonakaliso lezimangaliso uNkulunkulu ayezenze ngabo phakathi kwabezizwe.
13 Bho bhalekili kulongela, Yakobo ajibili akajobha, “Bhalongo munipelekesiajhi.
Kwathi bona sebeqedile ukukhuluma, uJakobe waphendula wathi: Madoda bazalwane, ngilalelani:
14 Simoni ajhelekisi hoti jinsi hoti K'yara kwa neema abhasaidili mataifa ili kwamba akikabhilayi kuhoma kwa bhene bhanu kwandabha jha lihina lya bhebhe.
USimeyoni uselandisile ukuthi uNkulunkulu wahambela njani abezizwe ekuqaleni ukuze azuzele ibizo lakhe abantu kubo.
15 Malobhi gha manabii ghikakubaliana ni e'le kama kya lilembibhu.
Njalo amazwi abaprofethi ayavumelana lalokhu, njengoba kulotshiwe ukuthi:
16 Baada jha mambo agha nibetakukerebhuka ni kujenga kabhele hema jha Daudi, jhahaguili pasi; nibetakuhinula ni kubhumala uharibufu bhwake,
Emva kwalezizinto ngizabuya, ngilakhe futhi ithabhanekele likaDavida eliwileyo; njalo ngizakwakha okudilikileyo kwalo, njalo ngilimise;
17 ili kwamba bhanu bhabhasiele bhandondayi Bwana, pamonga ni bhanu bha mataifa bhabhakutibhu kwa lihina lya nene;
ukuze abaseleyo babantu bayidinge iNkosi, labezizwe bonke ibizo lami elibizwa phezu kwabo, itsho iNkosi eyenza lezizinto zonke.
18 Efe ndo, kyaajobhili Bwana jhaabhombi mambo agha ghamanyikanayi kuhomela enzi sya muandi. (aiōn g165)
Kwaziwa kuNkulunkulu imisebenzi yonke yakhe kusukela ephakadeni. (aiōn g165)
19 Efyo basi, ushauri bhwa nene ni kwamba tusibhapeli shida bhanu bha mataifa bhabhakan'geukila K'yara.
Ngakho mina ngiquma ukuthi singabakhathazi labo kwabezizwe abaphendukela kuNkulunkulu;
20 Lakini tujhandikayi kwa bhene kujha bhakijhepusiajhi patali ni uharibifu bhwa sanamu, tamaa sya uasherati, ni fyafiniongibhu, ni damu.
kodwa sibabhalele ukuthi bazile amanyala ezithombe, lokufeba, lokukhanyiweyo, legazi.
21 Kuhoma fizazi fya bhasee kuna bhanu ku kila mji bhabhihubiri ni kun'soma Musa mu masinagogi khila sabato.”
Ngoba uMozisi ulabo kusukela ezizukulwaneni zendulo abamtshumayelayo umuzi ngomuzi, efundwa emasinagogeni isabatha ngesabatha.
22 Kwa hiyo jhibhonekana kujha jhibhapendesi mitume ni bhaseya, pamonga ni likanisa lyaoha, ku'chagula Yuda ghaakutibhu Barnaba ni Silas bhabhajhele bhalongosi bha kanisa, nikubhalaghisya Antiokia pamonga ni Paulo ni Barnaba.
Kwasekubonakala kukuhle kubaphostoli lakubadala kanye lebandla lonke, ukuthuma amadoda akhethiweyo phakathi kwabo eAntiyoki loPawuli loBarnabasi; babe ngoJudasi othiwa futhi nguBarsaba, loSilasi, amadoda angabakhokheli phakathi kwabazalwane,
23 Bhalembi naha, “Mitume bhasee ni bhalongo bhangu kwa bhalongo bha mataifa bhabhajhele Antiokia, Shamu ni Kilikia, salamu.
basebebhala lokhu ngesandla sabo ukuthi: Abaphostoli labadala labazalwane kubazalwane abangabezizwe eAntiyoki leSiriya leKilikhiya, bayabingelela;
24 Twapelili kujha bhanu fulani ambho twabhapelili lepi amri ejhu, bhabhokili kwa tete na bhabhataabisi kwa mafundisu ghaghileta shida mu nafsi sya muenga.
njengoba sizwile ukuthi abathile abaphume kithi balikhathazile ngamazwi, bedunga imiphefumulo yenu, besithi lisokwe lilonde umthetho, bona esingabalayanga;
25 Kwa hiyo, jhibhonekana kinofu kwa tete twebhoha kuchagula bhanu bha kubhalaghisya kwa muenga pamonga ni bhapendwa bhitu Barnaba, ni Paulo.
kwabonakala kukuhle kithi singqondonye, ukuthi siwakhethe amadoda siwathume kini, kanye labathandekayo bethu uBarnabasi loPawuli,
26 Bhanu bhabhahatarisi maisha gha bhene kwa ndabha jha lihina lya Bwana Yesu Kristu.
abantu abanikele impilo yabo ngenxa yebizo leNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu.
27 Henu, tundaghisi Yuda ni Sila, bhibeta kubhajobhela mambo ghaghuaghu.
Ngakho sithumile uJudasi loSilasi, abazakuthi labo ngelizwi lomlomo balitshele izinto ezifananayo.
28 Kwa kujha jhabhoniki kinofu kwa Roho mtakatifu ni kwa tete, kubho juu jha muenga nsighu mbaha kuliko mambo agha ghaghajhele gha lazima.
Ngoba kwabonakala kukuhle kuMoya oNgcwele, lakithi, ukuthi singalethesi umthwalo omkhulu, ngaphandle kwalezizinto ezifunekayo:
29 kwamba mgeukayi kuhomela kufenu fya fipisibhu kwa sanamu, damu, fenu fya kunyongibhwa, ni uasherati. kama mwibetakwibheka patali ni efe jhibetakujha kinofu kwa muenga. kwaherini.”
Ukuthi lizile okuhlatshelwe izithombe, legazi, lokukhanyiweyo, lokufeba; lezizinto nxa lizazizila, lizabe lenze kuhle. Salani kuhle.
30 Efyo basi, bhobhatawanyisi bhu bhaselelili Antiokia; baada jha kubhonganiya kusanyiku pamonga, bhawasilishi barua.
Ngakho sebebakhululile beza eAntiyoki; futhi sebelihlanganisile ixuku, balinika incwadi.
31 Bho bhajhisomili bhahobhwiki kwandabha jha kupelibhwa muoyo.
Kwathi sebefundile, bathokoza ngenduduzo.
32 Yuda ni Sila ni manabii, bhabhapelili muoyo bhalongo kwa malobhi ghamehele ni kubhasopela ngofu.
UJudasi kanye loSilasi, njengoba labo babengabaprofethi, balaya abazalwane ngamazwi amanengi, babaqinisa.
33 Baada jha kutama muda fulani okhu, bhatawanyisibhu kwa amani kuhoma kwa bhalongo kwa bhala bhabhalaghisi.
Sebehlale isikhathi, bayekelwa basuka ngokuthula kubazalwane baya kubaphostoli,
34 (Lakini jhabhonekene kinofu lepi kusiala okhu).
kodwa kwabonakala kukuhle kuSilasi ukuthi asale khona.
35 Lakini Paulo ni bhangi bhatamili Antiokia pamonga ni bhangi bhamehele, ambapo bhanafundisi ni kuhubiri lilobhi lya Bwana.
UPawuli loBarnabasi basebesala eAntiyoki, befundisa betshumayela indaba ezinhle zelizwi leNkosi, kanye labanye abanengi.
36 Baada jha magono kadhaa Paulo ajobhili kwa Barnaba, “Natukerebhukayi henu ni kubhagendela bhalongo mu khila mji pa twahubiri lilobhi lya Bwana, ni kubhabhona kyabhajhele.
Emva kwensuku ezithile uPawuli wasesithi kuBarnabasi: Ake sibuye sihambele abazalwane bethu emizini yonke, lapho esatshumayela khona ilizwi leNkosi, sibone ukuthi bahlezi njani.
37 Barnaba alondeghe kabhele kun'tola pamonga nabhu Yohana jhaakutibhu Marko.
UBarnabasi wasehlosa ukuthatha uJohane, othiwa nguMarko, ahambe labo.
38 Lakini Paulo afikiriri jhajhekinofu lepi kun'tola Marko, jhaabhalekili okhu pamfilia na ajhendeli lepi nabhu mu mbombo.
Kodwa uPawuli wacabanga ukuthi kufanele ukuthi bangamthathi ahambe labo lowo owabatshiya ePamfiliya, kaze aya labo emsebenzini.
39 Kisha apu kwahomili mabishano mabhaha kwa hiyo bhatengene, ni Barnaba an'tolili Marko ni kusafiri kwa meli mpaka Kipro.
Kwasekuvela ukuphikisana okukhulu, baze behlukana phakathi; uBarnabasi wasethatha uMarko wahamba laye ngomkhumbi, baya eKuprosi.
40 Lakini Paulo an'chaguili Sila ni kubhoka, baada jha kukabisibhwa ni bhalongomunu mu neema jha Bwana.
Kodwa uPawuli wakhetha uSilasi wasuka wahamba, esenikelwe emuseni kaNkulunkulu ngabazalwane.
41 Naalotili kupelela Shamu ni Kilikia, ikajha akaghasindimalisya makanisa.
Wasedabula iSiriya leKilikhiya, eqinisa amabandla.
