Lwabhaputaga na funje, Umpepo Ufinjile wayanga, “Nabhaala akristi waga nefwezi a Paulo nu Barnaba bhabhale humbombo yembasaluliye(Yembakwzizizye).”
3 Ngakho bathi sebezilile njalo sebekhulekile, bababeka izandla babakhupha.
Ikanisa palyabapuutila bhabhiha amakono pitwe lyabho, bhabhaleha bhabhalaje.
4 Bonke bobabili baholwa nguMoya oNgcwele, behlela eSelusiya lapho abawela khona ngomkhumbi baya eSiphrasi.
U Barnaba nu Paulo bhamwitishe Umpepo Ufinjile bhahasogola bhahafiha huseleukia afume uhwo, bhahashula bhashila muminzi mpaka hu Kipro.
5 Bathi sebefikile eSalami, balitshumayela ilizwi likaNkulunkulu emasinagogweni amaJuda. UJohane wayelabo engumsizi wabo.
Na bhahali hu Salami, bhahalumbilila izu elya Ngulubhi mumasinagogi ga Yahudi bhahali nu Yohana (U Marko) yabhavwaga.
6 Basibhoda sonke isihlenge baze bafika ePhafosi. Khonapho bafumana umJuda oyisanuse, njalo engumphrofethi wamanga owayethiwa nguBha-Jesu,
Nabhabhalile hushisiwa sha Pafo bhahamwajile umuntu umo itawa yu Bar Yesu umuntu uyo ali ni tuunga nantele ali kuwe wilenga.
7 wayeyinceku kasibalukhulu, uSegiyasi Phawuli. Usibalukhulu lowo, indoda ekhaliphileyo, yathumela ukuthi kubizwe uBhanabhasi loSawuli ngoba wayefuna ukuzwa ilizwi likaNkulunkulu.
Umuntu unu ahavwanwaga nu ugosi we Wilaya u Sergion Paulus, ali umuntu wi njele umwene abhakwizizye a Paulo nu Barnaba ahanzaga atejelezye izu elya Ngulubhi.
8 Kodwa u-Elima isanuse (phela yikho ibizo lakhe elikutshoyo) waphikisana labo wazama ukuphambula usibalukhulu ekukholweni.
Lelo u Elima “ula uwitunga sigahanzaga huje ula uliwali (ugosi we wilaya) atipinjile tete ahanzaga hugaluzanye hahitishile zyabhayanga a Paulo nu Barnaba.
9 Kwasekusithi uSawuli, owayethiwa njalo nguPhawuli, egcwele uMoya oNgcwele, wamjolozela u-Elima wathi,
Lelo uSauli yahitwaga Paulo, walangulila amaso amemile Umpepo Ufinjile, akamkazia macho
10 “Wena ungumntakaSathane lesitha sakho konke okulungileyo! Ugcwele zonke inhlobo zenkohliso lokudlelezela. Kawuyikufa wakhawula yini ukuhlinikeza izindlela eziqondileyo?
waga awe wumwana wa shetani wupenga shila hantu ahinza aha Ngulubhi, ugaluzanya idala lya Ngulubhi lyaligulushe ubhaliwezye?
11 Khathesi-ke, isandla seNkosi sizakutshaya. Uzakuba yimpumputhe, awuzukubona ukukhanya kwelanga okwesikhathi esithile.” Masinyane wehlelwa yinkungu lomnyama, waphumputha, waswela umuntu wokumhola ngesandla.
Eshi enya, ukhono gwa Ngulubhi guli nawe ubhabhefwe maso, subhalilole isanya, nawayanga isho pepo walola enkisi amaso gafa, walabha abhantu abhahukhate ukhono aje bhalongozye.
12 Kwathi usibalukhulu esekubonile lokho okwakwenzakele wakholwa, ngoba wamangaliswa yimfundiso ngeNkosi.
Ula uli wali alolaje esho walyeteha izu lya Ngulubhi aswijile tee zila zyazyabhombishe hwuula uwitunga.
13 Besuka ePhafosi uPhawuli labaphelekezeli bakhe bawela ngomkhumbi baya ePhega esePhamfiliya lapho uJohane abatshiya khona esebuyela eJerusalema.
U Paulo wa bhamwabho bhasogola bhafiha hu Pafo bhafiha na hu Pafo bhafiha a hu Perge hu Pamfilia. U Yohana(U Marko) wabhaleha umwene wawela hu Yerusalemu.
14 Besuka ePhega baya e-Antiyokhi yasePhisidiya. NgeSabatha bangena esinagogweni bahlala phansi.
U Paulo nu wamwabho bhashula afume hu Perge bhafiha hu Antiokia yahu Pisidia. Uhwo bhahinjila mwisinagogi isiku elya Sabato(eleye lutuyo).
15 Sekubaliwe eMthethweni labaPhrofethi, abaphathi besinagogu bedlulisela ilizwi kubo lisithi, “Bazalwane, nxa lilelizwi lokukhuthaza abantu, khulumani.”
Nabhabhazya esheria na kuwe, alongozi bhe sinagogi bhabhatuma abhantu huje kabhanga mlinezyayanje muyanje na bhantu.”
16 UPhawuli wasukuma welekelela ngesandla wathi, “Madoda ako-Israyeli kanye lani abeZizwe elimesabayo uNkulunkulu, ngilalelani!
U Paulo wabhuha wayanga waga mubhalume namwe mwamuhumwitiha Ungulubhi tejelezi(umwumi).
17 UNkulunkulu wabantu bako-Israyeli wakhetha okhokho bethu wenza abantu baphumelela ngesikhathi behlezi eGibhithe. Ngamandla amakhulu wabakhupha kulelolizwe
Ungulubhi wa bhantu ebha abha Israeli abhasaluye abhaise bhetu na huje bhanyame bhabhe bhinji pabhakhiye hunsi ya Misri, nu khono gwakwe abhalongozizye.
18 wababekezelela ekuhambeni kwabo okweminyaka engamatshumi amane besenkangala.
Humaha amalongo gane hwijangwa.
19 Wachitha izizwe eziyisikhombisa eKhenani wanika ilizwe lazo abantu bakhe laba yilifa labo.
Nabhagananganya amataifa saba aga hu Kaanani, abhapiiye abhaise betu ensi yabho aje ebhensi yabho aise bhetu.
20 Konke lokho kwathatha iminyaka engamakhulu amane lamatshumi amahlanu. Ngemva kwalokhu uNkulunkulu wababekela abahluleli kwaze kwaba yisikhathi sikaSamuyeli umphrofethi.
Ezi zyonti zyabhombishe humaha zaidi ye maha emia zine na mashomi gasanu nazya shila ezi zyonti, Ungulubhi abhapeelile abhameli mpaka u Samweli Ukuwe.
21 Abantu bacela inkosi, wabanika uSawuli indodana kaKhishi, owesizwana sikaBhenjamini, wabusa iminyaka engamatshumi amane.
Pamande abhaiisraeli bhahalabha umfumu, Ungulubhi abapela uSauli umwana wa kishi uwishikholo sha Benjamini, alongozizye amaha amalongo gane.
22 Ngemva kokuba esemsusile uSawuli, wabeka uDavida waba yinkosi. Wafakaza ngaye wathi, ‘Sengifumane uDavida indodana kaJese, indoda ethandwa yinhliziyo yami; uzakwenza konke engifuna ukuba akwenze.’
Ungulubhi pawamwefwa uSauli, wabhiha uDaudi aje abhe mfumu wabho. Ungulubhi ahile uDaudi agukhondezizye zyonti zyenziganile ane.'
23 Esizukulwaneni salindoda uNkulunkulu uselethe ko-Israyeli uMsindisi uJesu njengokuthembisa kwakhe.
Afume mushikholo sha Daudi Ungulubhi atiletiye ugombozi uYesu Kilisti, neshi shatilaginye aje aibhomba.
24 Mandulo kokufika kukaJesu, uJohane watshumayela ukuphenduka lokubhaphathizwa kubo bonke abantu bako-Israyeli.
Shasile ahwenze uYesu ahinzile uYohana nasoti umwene atangazizye uwozyo uwalaambe hwa bhantu bhonti abhaIsraeli.
25 UJohane esewuphetha umsebenzi wakhe wathi, ‘Licabanga ukuthi ngingubani na? Kangisuye lowo. Hatshi, kodwa uyeza ngemva kwami, omanyathela akhe akungilingananga ukuthi ngiwathukulule.’
Wope uYohana nawamala embombo yakwe abhabhuuzya abhantu huje amwe muiga ane ne nanu? Ane sendi yayula, umvwi ahwinza umwene yampyanila ane uyo anesiga embajiye ata husatule evilato vyakwe.'
26 Bazalwane, bantwana baka-Abhrahama lani beZizwe elimesabayo uNkulunkulu, lelilizwi lensindiso selithunyelwe kithi.
Abheshikholo sha Ibulahimu mwa mupuuta hwa Ngulubhi, unuu Yesu atinziye tete.
27 Abantu baseJerusalema kanye lababusi babo kabamamukelanga uJesu, ikanti kwathi ngokumlahla bagcwalisa amazwi abaphrofethi afundwayo ngamaSabatha wonke.
Hwa bhaala bhabhakhala hu Yerusalemu, na gosi bhabho sigabhaminye uYesu ata nongwa ezya akuwe zyabhabhazya shila lutuyo(Sabato); bhitimilizizye enongwa zya akuwe nabhahabudile uYesu.
28 Lokuba bengazange bafumane ubufakazi obuqondileyo ukuthi agwetshelwe ukubulawa, bacela uPhilathu ukuthi abulawe.
Nantele sigabhazyajile embibhi ezyahugoje uYesu pabhalabhile u Pilato huje agoje.
29 Bathi sebekwenzile konke lokho okwakulotshwe ngaye, bamethula esiphambanweni bamlalisa ethuneni.
Nabhamalizya zyonti zyasimbililwe bhahamwisya mwikwi bhahagonia munkungwa.
30 Kodwa uNkulunkulu wamvusa kwabafileyo,
Lelo Ungulubhi ahazyusya afume hwa bhafwe.
31 Wabonwa okwensuku ezinengi yilabo abahamba laye besuka eGalile besiya eJerusalema. Manje yibo asebe ngofakazi ebantwini bakithi.
Nawazyuha ahajenda na bhantu bhakwe ensiku zinyinji nabhaala abhantu eshi bhaketi bha bhantu.
32 Silitshela izindaba ezinhle ukuthi: Lokho uNkulunkulu akuthembisa okhokho bethu
Eshi tibhaletela enongwa enyinza ezye ndaganyo zya bhapewilwe agogolo betu.
33 usesigcwalisele khona, thina abantwababo, ngokumvusa uJesu kwabafileyo. Njengalokhu kulotshiwe eHubeni lesibili ukuthi: ‘UyiNdodana yami; lamhla sengibe nguYihlo.’
Ungulubhi abhishile endaganyo ezi hulite, tibhana bhabho Ungulubhi azyusizye apiye uwomi wane nantele. Ezi zyasimbilwe mu Zaburi eya bhili: 'Awe uli Mwana wane, ane endi Yise waho'
34 Lokho ukuthi uNkulunkulu wamvusa kwabafileyo, engasoze abole lanini, kucacisiwe emazwini la: ‘Ngizakunika izibusiso ezingcwele eziqinisekileyo ezathenjiswa uDavida.’
Ungulubhi azyusizye afume hwa bhafwe aje ubili gwakwe gusahananjishe nu lusayo lwa lyoli ulwa Daudi'
35 Kanjalo kulotshiwe kwenye indawo ukuthi: ‘Kawusoze wekele oNgcwele wakho abone ukubola.’
Neshi shayanjile muzaburi apamwabho, subhahuleshe, ufinjile waho alole uvunzu.'
36 Ngoba kwathi uDavida eseyifezile injongo kaNkulunkulu ngalesosikhathi aphila kuso, walala; wangcwatshwa labokhokho bakhe, umzimba wakhe wabola.
U Daudi nawabhombela Ungulubhi embombo yakwe ne mpapo yakwe, agonile(afwiye), bhahagonizye pandwimo na bhaise bhakwe aulolile uvunzu,
37 Kodwa lowo uNkulunkulu amvusayo kwabafileyo kazange akubone ukubola.
Umwene yazyusiwe nu Ngulubhi siga aulolile uvunzu.
38 Ngakho-ke, bazalwane bami, ngithanda ukuba lazi ukuthi ngoJesu ukuthethelelwa kwezono kuyatshunyayelwa kini.
Eshi mumanye mwenti huje ashilile hwa muntu unu ulusajilo lwe mbibhi lulombelelwe hulimwe.
39 Ngaye bonke abakholwayo sebehlanjululwe ezonweni zonke abebengeke bahlanjululwe kuzo ngomthetho kaMosi.
Ashilile hwunu tisajilwe naganje gonti gaala gehapotilwe esheria ya Musa atipele.
40 Qaphelani ukuthi lokho okwakhulunywa ngabaphrofethi kungenzakali kini, ukuthi:
Eshi mukhalaje maso aje zyazyayangwilwe nakuwe zisahafumile hulimwe:
41 ‘Khangelani, lina bachothozi, mangalani libhubhe, ngoba ensukwini zenu ngizakwenza into elingasoze liyikholwe lanxa kube lalingakutshelwa ngubani.’”
'Eshi, amwe mwamudhalau, muswije nantele muyaje; ebhomba embombo hunsiku zyenyu, sigamuzyeteha ata umuntu abhabhuule.”
42 Kwathi uPhawuli loBhanabhasi sebesuka esinagogweni abantu babacela ukuthi babuye bazokhuluma njalo ngalezizinto ngeSabatha elilandelayo.
U Paulo nu Barnaba pabhasogola abhantu bhabhabhuula huje enongwa ezi mugayanjile mwisiku lye tuyo(Sabato) yehwenza.
43 Abantu sebechithekile amaJuda amanengi lamakholwa ayephendukele enkolweni yesiJuda balandela uPhawuli loBhanabhasi, bona bakhuluma labo bebakhuthaza ukuthi baqhubeke bebambelele emuseni kaNkulunkulu.
Ubhungano ugwamwi sinagogi nagwamaliha Ayahudi na bhaongofu bhabhalondola aPaulo nu Barnaba, bhayanga nabho mukhalaje mwibhangili lya Ngulubhi.
44 NgeSabatha elilandelayo phose lonke idolobho labuthana ukuzakuzwa ilizwi leNkosi.
Mulutuyo ulwamwabho nalwenza abhantu bhabhungine bhabhinsi ahwenze atejelezye izu lya Ngulubhi.
45 Kwathi amaJuda ebona amaxuku abantu, aba lomona, akhuluma ehlambaza lokho okwakutshiwo nguPhawuli.
Ayahudi nabhalola uwinji wa bhantu bhabhatejelezya aPaulo bhabha nu kero, bhayanga enongwa embibhi na hubhalije.
46 UPhawuli loBhanabhasi basebewaphendula ngesibindi bathi, “Bekumele silikhulume kini ilizwi likaNkulunkulu kuqala. Kodwa njengoba lililahla ngoba lizibona lina lingakufanelanga ukuphila okungapheliyo, khathesi sesiphendukela kwabeZizwe. (aiōnios g166)
A Paulo nu Barnaba bhayanga nkahwogope bhaga izu lya Ngulubhi tulubhiliye hulimwe nasoti amwe mulibunshiye uhutali eshi ate tibhala hwa bha Mataifa. (aiōnios g166)
47 Phela nanku iNkosi esisiyale khona yathi: ‘Sengilenze isibane sabeZizwe, ukuthi lilethe insindiso emikhawulweni yomhlaba.’”
Neshi Ugosi shatibhuulile huje embabhishile amwe huje mubhe lukhozya munsi yonti mubhatwalile uwausha abhantu bhonti abha munsi.”
48 Kwathi abeZizwe bekuzwa lokhu bathaba, balidumisa ilizwi leNkosi; kwathi bonke ababemiselwe ukuphila okungapheliyo bakholwa. (aiōnios g166)
Abhamataifa nabhumvwa isho bhasha(basungwa) tee nalilumbilile izu lya Ngulubhi. Nabhalabhabhasalulwe hu womi uwawila bhahitishe. (aiōnios g166)
49 Ilizwi leNkosi landa umango wonke.
Izu lya Ngulubhi lanyampana hwonti.
50 Kodwa amaJuda athela umoya omubi kwabesifazane abahlonitshwayo ababekholwa lamadoda ayengabakhokheli bedolobho. Akhwezela ukuhlukuluzwa kukaPhawuli loBhanabhasi, abaxotsha emangweni wakibo.
Lelo ayahudi bhabhavitilwe aPaulo nu Barnaba bhabhabhinga aje bheepe mumpaho yensi yabho.
51 Ngakho bathintitha uthuli ezinyaweni zabo njengesixwayiso, baqonda e-Ikhoniyamu.
U Paulo nu Barnaba bhabhakunyitila amankowi ga mumanama gabho bhasogola bhabhala hu Ikonia.
52 Abafundi bagcwala ngentokozo langoMoya oNgcwele.
Amanyili (abhanafunzi) bhahali nuluseshelo nu Mpepo Ufinjile.
