Mitendo 9
1 Kono Saule, usiwamba zokutiza ni kwihaya balutwana ba Simwine, cha yenda ku mupurisita mukulwana
Kwathi uSawuli, esaphefumula insongo lokubulala emelane labafundi beNkosi, waya kumpristi omkhulu,
2 ni kuka kumbila mañolo ama Sinagoge mwa Damaseka, ili kuti chawana babakuwila mweyo inzila, kapa mukwame kapa mwanakazi, pona chokabaleta niba suminwe kwa Jerusalema.
wacela kuye incwadi zokuya eDamaseko kumasinagoge, ukuze kuthi uba ethola abanye baleyondlela, amadoda kanye labafazi, abalethe eJerusalema bebotshiwe.
3 Haba kukabuyenda, kuba tendahali kuti heza kusika hembali ni Damaseka, hahobulyo chikweza kuboneka iseli lingi libakuzwa mwiwulu;
Kwathi ekuhambeni, kwenzeka ukuthi esesondele eDamaseko; njalo kwahle kwamphazimela inhlangothi zonke ukukhanya okuvela ezulwini;
4 mi chawila hansi ni kuzuwa linzwi liwamba kwali, “Saule, Saule, chinzi ho ni nyandisa?
njalo ewela emhlabathini, wezwa ilizwi lisithi kuye: Sawuli, Sawuli, ungizingelelani?
5 Saule chetaba, “njewe ni, Simwine?” Simwine chati, “Njeme Jesu yokwete kunyandisa;
Wasesithi: Ungubani, Nkosi? INkosi yasisithi: Mina nginguJesu omzingelayo; kulukhuni kuwe ukukhahlelana lezincijo.
6 kono zime, winjile mu muleneñi, mi mowambilwe zo swanela kutenda.”
Ethuthumela njalo emangala wathi: Nkosi, uthanda ukuthi ngenzeni? LeNkosi yathi kuye: Sukuma ungene emzini, njalo uzatshelwa lokho omele ukwenze.
7 Bakwame baba kuyenda ni Saule chiba zima nikubula maanzwi, ni bazuwile linzwi, kono ni basabwene muntu.
Lamadoda ayehamba laye ayemi engelakukhuluma, esizwa ilizwi, kodwa engaboni muntu.
8 Saule chabuka hansi, mi heyalula menso akwe, kakwina chabakubona; chiba mukwata kwiyanza niku muleta mwa Damaseka.
USawuli wasevuka emhlabathini; kwathi esevule amehlo akhe, kabonanga muntu. Basebembamba ngesandla, bamusa eDamaseko.
9 Abahindi mazuba otatwe nasaboni, mi kena aba kulya ni kunywa.
Wasesiba lensuku ezintathu engaboni, njalo engadli futhi enganathi.
10 Linu Kubena mulutwana mwa Damaseka yaba kusumpwa Aneniyas; mi Simwine aba wambi kwali chempono, “Aneniyasi.” cha wamba, “Bone, ime zunu, Simwine.”
Kwakukhona eDamaseko umfundi othile uAnaniya ngebizo; iNkosi yasisithi kuye ngombono: Ananiya! Wasesithi: Khangela ngilapha, Nkosi.
11 Simwine cha wamba kwali, “Zime, uyende mwi kululu lisumpwa Kuotoloka, mi kwi nzubo ya Judasi buze mukwame yozwa kwa Tarese yosumpwa Saule; yokwete kulapela;
INkosi yasisithi kuye: Sukuma uye endleleni ethiwa iQondile, udinge endlini kaJudasi umuntu, uSawuli ngebizo, weTarsu; ngoba khangela uyakhuleka,
12 mi ababoni impono mukwame yaba ku sumpwa Ananiyasi nakeza kwali kwiza kumubika maanza, ilikuti atambule kubona kwakwe.”
njalo ubonile ngombono umuntu, uAnaniya ngebizo, engena ebeka isandla phezu kwakhe, ukuze abuye abone.
13 Kono Ananiyasi chetaba, “Simwine, ni bazuwi kubangi kuamana nozu mukwame, inkolofalo isika hayi yabatendi kubantu bako bajolola mwa Jerusalema.
Kodwa uAnaniya waphendula wathi: Nkosi, ngizwile ngabanengi ngalindoda, kungakanani okubi akwenzileyo kwabangcwele bakho eJerusalema;
14 Wina maata azwa ku mukulwana wa maprisita ku sumina bonse kunu ba sumpa he zina lyako.”
lalapha ulamandla avela kubapristi abakhulu, okubopha bonke labo ababiza ibizo lakho.
15 Kono Simwine chawamba kwali, “Yende, mi uzu uketetwe kuba chisebeliso changu, kuhinda izina lyangu habusu bwa chisi chingi ni malena ni bana ba Isilaele;
Kodwa iNkosi yathi kuye: Hamba, ngoba lowo uyisitsha sami esikhethiweyo, ukuphatha ibizo lami phambi kwezizwe lamakhosi, labantwana bakoIsrayeli;
16 mi kani mutondeze mwete a sukulukile chebaka lye zina lwangu.”
ngoba mina ngizamtshengisa ukuthi umele ukuhlupheka kangakanani ngenxa yebizo lami.
17 Cwale Ananiyasi chayenda, ni kwinjila munzuvo. Kuka muvika maanza hakwe, chati, “Mukwangu Saule, Simwine Jesu, yaba boneki kwako he nzila hamuba kukeza, wakanituma ili kuti zo tambule kubona kwako mi wizule luho lu jolola.”
UAnaniya wasesuka wangena endlini, wabeka izandla zakhe phezu kwakhe esithi: Sawuli mzalwane, iNkosi ingithumile, uJesu obonakele kuwe endleleni oze ngayo, ukuze ubuye ubone njalo ugcwaliswe ngoMoya oNgcwele.
18 Hahobulyo zintu zikola maamba zibawi mumenso a Saule, mi chatambula kubona kwakwe, aba zimi ni kukolobezwa;
Kwahle kwawa emehlweni akhe kwangathi zinkwethu, wahle wabuye wabona, njalo esukuma wabhabhathizwa,
19 abali nikuwana ziho. Abekali ni balutwana mwa Damaseka chamazuba alikene.
njalo esedlile wathola amandla. USawuli wasehlala labafundi ababeseDamaseko insuku ezithile.
20 Haho chaha bupaki bwa Jesu muma Sinagoge, nata kuti uzo mwana wa Ireeza.
Wahle-ke watshumayela uKristu emasinagogeni, ukuthi yena uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
21 Bonse baba zuwi baba komokwa ni kuwamba, “kanjiyena uzu mukwame yaba sinyi abo mwa Jerusalema baba kusumpa heli zina? mi abakezi kunu ili kuti abalete zeba suminwe kumu kulwana wa maprisita.”
Njalo bonke abezwayo basanganiseka bathi: Lo kayisuye yini owachitha eJerusalema labo ababiza lelibizo, lalapha uzele lokho ukuthi abaqhube bebotshiwe abase kubapristi abakhulu?
22 Kono Saule abezi kwinjihilwa ziho, aba leti filikana mukati ka ma Juda baba kuhala mwa Damaseka chakutondeza kuti Jesu nji Keresite.
Kodwa uSawuli waqiniswa kakhulu, wasanganisa amaJuda akhileyo eDamaseko, eqinisa ukuthi lo unguye uKristu.
23 Hakuhita mazuba mangi, ma Juda chibalela hamwina kuti bamwihaye.
Kwathi sezigcwalisiwe insuku ezinengi, amaJuda enza icebo ndawonye ukuthi ambulale;
24 Kono mulelo wabo chiwezibeka kwa Saule. Baba kugantela milyango musihali ni masiku ilikuti bamwihaye.
kodwa iqhinga lawo laziwa nguSawuli. Aselinda emasangweni emini lebusuku, ukuze ambulale;
25 Kono balutwana bakwe baba muhindi masiku kumushilsa imota, shetumwina muchitanda.
kodwa abafundi bamthatha ebusuku, bamehlisela emthangaleni bemehlisa ngesilulu.
26 Hakeza kusika mwa Jerusalema, Saule abaliki kukopana ni balutwana, kono bonse baba kumutiya, nibasa zumina kuti mulutwana.
Kwathi uSawuli esefikile eJerusalema, wazama ukuzihlanganisa labafundi; kodwa bonke bamesaba, bengakholwa ukuthi ungumfundi.
27 Kono Barnabasi abamuhindi ni kumutwala ku bapositola. Mi Chaba wambila mwaba boneni Saule Simwine he nzila ni kuti kuti Simwine aba wambi naye, ni kwaDamaseka Saule mwa bakutazi chakusatiya mwizina lya Jesu.
Kodwa uBarnabasi wamthatha wamusa kubaphostoli, wabalandisela ukuthi uyibone njani iNkosi endleleni, lokuthi ikhulumile kuye, lokuthi eDamaseko ukhulume njani ngesibindi ebizweni likaJesu.
28 Aba kopani nabo hababa kukeza ni kuzwa mwa Jerusalema. Abawambi chakusatiya mwi zina lya Simwine Jesu
Wasehlala labo engena ephuma eJerusalema,
29 aba wambolisani ni ma Gerike bama Juda; kono baba zwili habusu ni kulika kusaka kumwihaya.
wasekhuluma ngesibindi ngebizo leNkosi uJesu, wakhuluma njalo futhi ephikisana lamaHelenisiti; kodwa bazama ukumbulala.
30 Linu baakwetu habeziba izi, chiba mulate hansi kwa Sesaria nikumu tumina kwa Tarese.
Kodwa abazalwane sebekwazi bamehlisela eKesariya, bamthuma eTarsu.
31 Cwale linu, Inkeleke zonse mwa Judea, Galilea, ni Samaria babena inkozo imi ibazakite; ni, kuyenda niba tiite Simwine ni mukuombwa-ombwa kwa luhuho lu jolola, inkeleke chiza yekezeha chabungi.
Ngakho amabandla kuyo yonke iJudiya leGalili leSamariya aba lokuthula, esakheka, ehamba ekwesabeni iNkosi langenduduzo kaMoya oNgcwele, anda.
32 Linu kubezi tendahali kuti, Pitrosi haba kukabuyenda muchikiliti chonse, aba kezi kuba lumeli baba kuhala mwi tolopo ya Lida.
Kwasekusithi uPetro edabula indawo zonke wehlela lakwabangcwele abahlala eLida.
33 Uko abakawani mukwame zumi wezina lya Enea, yabena kabulo bwakwe chezilimo zilimo zimane iyanza ni zotatwe, aba kuzuminine luñañali.
Wasefica khona umuntu othile uEneya ngebizo, owayeselele ecansini iminyaka eyisificaminwembili, ome umhlubulo.
34 Pitrosi chati kwali, “Enea, Jesu Kereste waku hoza. Buke mi uzale bulobwako.” hahobulyo cha zimana.
UPetro wasesithi kuye: Eneya, uJesu Kristu uyakusilisa; sukuma uzendlalele icansi. Njalo wahle wasukuma.
35 cwale bonse baba kuhala mwa Lida ni mwa Saroni bababoni mukwame ni ba sandukila kwa Simwine.
Basebembona bonke abakhileyo eLida leSaroni, abaphendukela eNkosini.
36 Linu mwa Jopa kubena mulutwana ya ba kusumpwa Tabita, itoloketwe kuti “Dorkasi.” Uzu mwanakazi abezwile mitendo milotu ni zitendantu zizwile chishemo zaba pangili bahumanehi.
Kwakukhona eJopha umfundikazi othile, uTabitha ngebizo, okungokuchasiswa kuthiwa nguDorkasi; lo wayegcwele imisebenzi emihle lemisebenzi yomusa ayenzayo.
37 kubezi kauba kuti mwawo mazuba kuti abezi kulwala ni kufwa; hachi babamanite kumushanza, baba mulaziki munzubo yokwiwulu.
Kwasekusithi kulezonsuku wagula wafa; sebemgezisile bamlalisa endlini ephezulu.
38 Sina Lida haiba kwina hembali ni Jopa, mi balutwana babazuwi kuti Pitrosi kwabakwina, chibatumina bakwame bobele kwali, kumu kumbila kuti, “Wize kwetu nikusena kuliyeha.”
Njalo njengoba iLida yayiseduze leJopha, abafundi sebezwile ukuthi uPetro wayekhona kuyo, bathuma amadoda amabili kuye, bemncenga ukuthi angaphuzi ukuza kubo.
39 Pitrosi chazimana ni kuyenda nabo. Hakasika, chibamutwala kwi nzubo ya kwiwulu. Mi imbelwa zonse ziba kuzimene kwimbali yakwe ni zilila, niba mutondeza majansi nizi zizwato zababa pangi Dorkasi nasina nebo.
UPetro wasesukuma wahamba labo; okwathi esefikile bamthatha bamusa endlini ephezulu, labafelokazi bonke bema laye bekhala bemtshengisa izembatho lezigqoko uDorkasi ayezenzile eselabo.
40 Pitrosi chaba zwisikiza bonse hanze ye nzubo, cha fukama, ni kulapela; haho, cha sandukila kumubili, chawamba, “Tabita, buke.” Che yalula menso akwe, mi habona Pitrosi che kala.
Kodwa uPetro esebakhuphele phandle bonke eguqa ngamadolo wakhuleka; esetshibilikela esidunjini, wathi: Tabitha, vuka! Wasevula amehlo akhe; wabona uPetro, walulama.
41 Pitrosi linuchamuha iyanza lyakwe ni kumu zimanika; mi hasumpa balumeli ni mbelwa, abamuleti na hala kubali.
Wamelulela isandla, wamsukumisa; esebize abangcwele labafelokazi, wambeka phambi kwabo ephila.
42 Iyi indaba chiyezibeka ahulu mwaJopa yonse, imi bantu bangi baba zumini kwa Simwine.
Kwasekusaziwa kuyo yonke iJopha, labanengi bakholwa eNkosini.
43 Kubazi kuba kuti Pitrosi abekali mazuba mangi mwaJopa ni mukwame yosumpwa Simoni, yaba kusuka madalo.
Kwenzeka ukuthi ahlale eJopha insuku ezinengi loSimoni othile umtshuki wezikhumba.
