Itendi 11
1 Bhai, mitume na bhakwaakulupalilanga a Yeshu bha ku Yudea kula, gubhapilikenenje kuti bhandunji bhangabha Bhayaudi bhaliposhelenje Lilobhe lya a Nnungu.
Abaphostoli labazalwane ababeseJudiya basebesizwa ukuthi abezizwe labo balemukele ilizwi likaNkulunkulu.
2 Bhai, a Petili bhakabhujeje ku Yelushalemu bhaakulupalila bha Shiyaudi bhaapingangaga bhandunji bhangabha Bhayaudi bhajalukanje, gubhaagambilenje bhalinkutinji,
Kwathi uPetro esenyukele eJerusalema, abokusoka baphikisana laye,
3 “Mmwe nshikwenda tama na nalya nabhonji bhandunji bhangajalukanga.”
besithi: Ungene emadodeni angasokanga, wadla lawo.
4 Penepo a Petili gubhaatalashiyenje kwa ntima ndende shiishite tandubhila bhalinkuti.
Kodwa uPetro eqala wabalandisela ngokulandelana esithi:
5 “Lyubha limo ngulijuga Nnungu ku Yapa, nashinkuagamila, gunishibhweni shindu mbuti nkwamba gwankulungwa ulituluywa kukopoka kunani kunnungu gukamwilwe mmapepe gakwe ganansheshe, nibhikwa tome na nne.
Mina ngangisemzini weJopha ngikhuleka, ngasengibona ekuhlehlisweni kwengqondo umbono, kwehla isitsha esithile, sinjengelembu elikhulu sisehliswa ngamasondo amane sivela ezulwini, sasesifika kimi;
6 Gunolile nkati mula gunaabhweninji bhannyama bha makongono nsheshe bha mukonde na bhannyama bhatambala pai na ijuni.
okwathi sengilikhangelisisile ngaqaphelisa, ngasengibona inyamazana ezilenyawo ezine zomhlaba lezeganga lezihuquzelayo lenyoni zezulu.
7 Kungai gumbilikene lilobhe lilimalanjila, ‘A Petili, nnjinushe nng'inje na ntaune.’”
Ngasengisizwa ilizwi lisithi kimi: Sukuma, Petro, hlaba udle.
8 “Ikabheje nne gunjite, ‘Nngabha nneyo Mmakulungwa, pabha shoshowe sha nyata shikanabhe pita nkang'wa jangu.’
Kodwa ngathi: Hatshi bo Nkosi; ngoba loba yini engahlambulukanga kumbe engcolileyo kayizake ingene emlonyeni wami.
9 Lilobhe lila kukopoka kunnungu likumalanjilaga gwa bhili lilinkuti, ‘Indu ikonjeleywe na a Nnungu nnaisheme ya nyata.’”
Kodwa ilizwi langiphendula ngokwesibili livela ezulwini lathi: Izinto uNkulunkulu azihlambululileyo, wena ungatsho ukuthi kazihlambulukanga.
10 Lyenelyo gulitendeshe patatu, kungai yowe gwiikweshiywe kubhuja kunani kunnungu.
Lokhu-ke kwenzeka kathathu, njalo konke kwabuye kwadonselwa phezulu ezulwini.
11 “Shangupe bhandunji bhatatu kukopoka ku Kaishalia bhatumilwenje kunjema nne gubhajimingene mmujo ja nyumba jinatamaga jila.
Njalo khangela, ngasona lesosikhathi amadoda amathathu ema phambi kwendlu engangikuyo, ethunyiwe kimi evela eKesariya.
12 Mbumu gwamalanjile ngunakole nnjishi, kulongana nabhonji. Bhandu shita bhananji gubhalongenenje na nne kwenda ku Kaishalia, kweneko gutujinjile nnyumba ja a Koloneli.
UMoya wasesithi kimi ngihambe lawo, ngingathandabuzi; lalababazalwane abayisithupha labo bahamba lami, sasesingena endlini yendoda;
13 A Koloneli gubhatubhalanjile shibhashite kummona malaika nnyumba jabho nikwaabhalanjila kuti, ‘Muntume mundu ajende ku Yapa akaasheme bhandu bhamo bhaashemwa a Shimoni kwa lina, lina a Petili.
yasisibikela ukuthi yayibone njani ingilosi imi endlini yayo, isithi kuyo: Thumela amadoda eJopha, ubize uSimoni, othiwa nguPetro,
14 Bhenebho shibhannugulile malobhe ga kuntapula mmwe na ashaalongo ajenunji bhowe.’”
ozakutshela amazwi, ozasindiswa ngawo wena lendlu yakho yonke.
15 “Ngatandubheje kubheleketa, Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo gwabhatulushilenje malinga shatutulushile uwe kundandubho kula.
Kwathi ngisaqala ukukhuluma, uMoya oyiNgcwele wehlela phezu kwabo, lanjengakithi ekuqaleni.
16 Penepo gungumbushile malobhe gubhabhelekete Bhakulungwa gala kuti, ‘A Yowana bhashinkubhatisha kwa mashi, ikabheje mmanganyanji shimbhatishwanje kwa Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo.’
Ngakhumbula ilizwi leNkosi, ukuthi yakhuluma njani isithi: Isibili uJohane wabhabhathiza ngamanzi, kodwa lina lizabhabhathizwa ngoMoya oNgcwele.
17 Bhai, ibhaga a Nnungu bhaapelenje bhandunji bhangabha Bhayaudi upo malinga shibhatupele uwe, tukaakulupalileje Bhakulungwa a Yeshu Kilishitu, bhuli, nne gani ngombole kutaukangana na a Nnungu?”
Ngakho nxa uNkulunkulu ebanikile isipho esifananayo lanjengakithi, esakholwa eNkosini uJesu Kristu, mina bengingubani ebengingavimbela uNkulunkulu?
18 Bhakapilikananjeje genego, gubhaleshilenje mitau jabhonji, gubhaakushiyenje a Nnungu bhalinkutinji, “Kwa nneyo a Nnungu bhashikwaapanganga bhandunji bhangabha Bhayaudi shikono sha kwiipeta bhapatanje gumi.”
Njalo bathi sebezizwile lezizinto bathula, bamdumisa uNkulunkulu, besithi: Ngakho-ke uNkulunkulu unikile abezizwe labo ukuphendukela empilweni.
19 Kwa ligongo lya mboteko ibhapatile a Shitepano, bhaakulupalila gubhapwilingenenje. Bhananji gubhapitengenenje ku Poinike na ku Kipulo na ku Antiokia ja ku Shilia akuno bhalipita lunguya ntenga gula ku Bhayaudipe.
Labo-ke abahlakazeka ngokuhlupheka okwenzeka mayelana loStefane badabula baze bafika eFenekiya leKuprosi leAntiyoki, bengalikhulumi ilizwi lakoyedwa ngaphandle kumaJuda kuphela.
20 Ikabheje bhaakulupalila bhananji bhakopokenje ku Kipulo na ku Kilene, bhashinkwendangana ku Antiokia gubhakungulukenje na bhandunji bhaabheleketanga Shigiliki bhalikwaalungushiyanga Ngani ja Mmbone ja Bhakulungwa a Yeshu.
Kodwa kwakukhona abanye kubo, amadoda amaKuprosi lamaKurene, abathi sebefike eAntiyoki, bakhuluma lamaHelenisiti, betshumayela indaba ezinhle zeNkosi uJesu.
21 Mashili ga Bhakulungwa pugaaliji pamo na bhanganyabho na bhandunji bhabhagwinji gubhaakulupalilenje nikwaatendebhushila Bhakulungwa.
Lesandla seNkosi sasilabo; njalo inani elikhulu lakholwa laphendukela eNkosini.
22 Jene nganijo jikupilikanikaga kubhandu bhakagulanga mpanda gwa a Yeshu bha ku Yelushalemu. Kwa nneyo gubhaatumilenje a Bhanabha bhajende ku Antiokia.
Zasezizwakala indaba ngabo endlebeni zebandla elaliseJerusalema; basebethuma uBarnabasi ukuthi adabule kuze kube seAntiyoki;
23 Bhakaisheje kweneko na kuubhona ntuka gwa a Nnungu shushite poshelwa kubhandunji bhala guyaanonyele, gubhaashondelesheyenje bhapundanje kwakulupalila Bhakulungwa.
kwathi esefikile esebona umusa kaNkulunkulu wathokoza, wasebakhuthaza bonke ukuthi babambelele eNkosini ngokuzimisela kwenhliziyo;
24 A Bhanabha pubhaaliji bhandu bhanguja bhagumbelwe na Mbumu Jwa Ukonjelo na bhashinkukola ngulupai, kwa nneyo bhandu bhabhagwinji gubhajenjeshekenje ku Bhakulungwa.
ngoba wayeyindoda elungileyo egcwele uMoya oNgcwele lokholo; kwengezelelwa eNkosini ixuku elikhulu.
25 Kungai a Bhanabha gubhapite ku Tasho kukwaloleya a Shauli.
UBarnabasi wasesiya eTarsu ukuze adinge uSawuli,
26 Bhaakabhoneje, gubhajienabho ku Antiokia. Na bhanaabhili gubhatemingenenje na bhaakulupalilanga mpanda gwa a Yeshu, kwa shaka shimo bhalikwaajiganyanga bhandunji bhabhagwinji. Na bhaakulupalila gubhatandwibhenje kushemwa Bhakilishitu ku Antiokiako.
kwathi esemtholile wamletha eAntiyoki. Kwasekusithi umnyaka wonke behlangana ebandleni bafundisa ixuku elikhulu; njalo abafundi baqala ukubizwa ngokuthi ngamaKristu eAntiyoki.
27 Gene mobhapego, ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu gubhaikengenenje ku Antiokia kopoka ku Yelushalemu.
Kwathi ngalezonsuku kwafika eAntiyoki abaprofethi bevela eJerusalema.
28 Bhai, bhamo bha munkumbi gwabhonji lina lyabho a Agabhushi gubhajimi na kwaakomboywa naka Mbumu gubhalondwele kuti, shipinga koposhela shibhanga sha punda nshilambolyo. Shene shibhangasho shakoposhele mobha ga upalume gwa a Kilaudio.
Kwasekusukuma omunye wabo othiwa nguAgabusi, watshengisa ngoMoya ukuthi kuzakuba khona indlala enkulu emhlabeni wonke; eyaba khona futhi ngesikhathi sikaKlawudiyosi Kesari.
29 Bhaajiganywa bhala gubhatumbililenje kuti kila mundu mushakombolele apeleshe shoshowe sha kwajangutilanga Bhakilishitu bhaatamangananga ku Yudea.
Labafundi bazimisela ukuthi ngulowo lalowo wabo athumele njengamandla alowo lalowo okokusiza abazalwane abahlala eJudiya;
30 Bhai, gubhatendilenje nneyo, gubhaakamwiyenje a Bhanabha na a Shauli bhaapelekanje ku bhanangulungwa bha bhandunji bha a Nnungu.
abakwenzayo-ke, bakuthumela kubadala ngesandla sikaBarnabasi loSawuli.
