Imisebenzi 10
1 Kwakukhona eKesariya indoda ethile ngebizo nguKorneliyu, induna yekhulu yebutho elithiwa ngeleIthaliya,
Ai ukoli nu muntu nua kitungaa mu kisali nika ku Kaisaria, lina nilakwe ai witangwaa Kornelio, ai mukulu wi idale nila Kiitalia.
2 eqotho lemesabayo uNkulunkulu kanye lendlu yayo yonke, eyenza imisebenzi yomusa eminengi ebantwini, ikhuleka njalonjalo kuNkulunkulu;
Ai watulaa mukulya Itunda hangi ai umukuiye Itunda ni ito nilakwe lihi; ai upumilye mpia idu ku Ayahudi hangi ai ulompile kung'wa Itunda mahiku ihi.
3 yabona embonweni ngokucacileyo, ngokungaba lihola lesificamunwemunye losuku, ingilosi kaNkulunkulu ingena kuyo, yasisithi kuyo: Korneliyu!
Matungo a saa kenda nia mung'wi, akihenga muloto Malaika nuang'wa Itunda upembilye kitalakwe. uMalaika akamutambuila, “Kornelio!
4 Waseyijolozela efikelwa yikwesaba wathi: Kuyini, Nkosi? Yasisithi kuye: Imikhuleko yakho lezipho zakho kubayanga kwenyuke kwaba yisikhumbuzo phambi kukaNkulunkulu.
uKornelio akamugoza u malaika hangi ai ukete u woa ukulu nangaluu akaligitya “Iki ki ntuni mukulu?” uMalaika akamutambuila “Malompi ako ni masongelyo ako ku aula yanakilaa migulya anga ukimbukiilyi mu umoli nuang'wa Itunda.”
5 Khathesi-ke thuma amadoda eJopha, ubize uSimoni othiwa futhi nguPetro;
Itungili lagiilya i antu alongole ikisali nika Yafa kumuleta muntu ung'wi nuitangwaa Simioni naiza witangwa ga ni Petro.
6 yena ungenisile kuSimoni othile umtshuki wezikhumba, ondlu yakhe iselwandle; yena uzakutshela ofanele ukwenze.
Wikiie hangi munonia ndili nuitangwaa Simioni naiza ito nilakwe likoli mpelo a luzi.”
7 Kwathi ingilosi ebikhuluma loKorneliyu isihambile, wabiza ababili kwabendlu yakhe, lowebutho oqotho kulabo ababemlinda,
Ze yakilaa uMalaika nai watula ukuligitya nu ng'wenso kuhega, uKornelio akaitanga i anyamulimo ni a mito nilakwe abiili, nu a asikali nai watulaa ukumukulya Itunda pa kati a asikali nai atulaa akumuaiilya.
8 njalo eselandisile konke kubo, wabathuma eJopha.
uKornelio ai uatambuie ihi nai apumie nu kualagiilya ku Yafa.
9 Njalo kusisa bona besahamba sebesondela emzini, uPetro wenyukela phezu kophahla lwendlu ukuyakhuleka, okungaba lihola lesithupha;
Luhiku nai lutyatile itungo nila saa mutandatu aze amoli mu nzila hangi ahumbeela mu kisali, uPetro akanankila migulya mu kitala kulompa.
10 waselamba kakhulu, wafuna ukudla; kwathi bona besamlungisela, ukuhlehliswa kwengqondo kwamehlela,
Ga ni hangi akatula ni nzala nu kusiga i kintu ka kulya, kuiti itungo i antu akuluga indya, akalagiilwa muloto,
11 wasebona izulu livulekile, lesitsha esithile sehlela kuye, njengelembu elikhulu, libotshwe ngamasondo amane, lisehliselwa emhlabeni;
akihenga ilunde laluguka ni kiseme kikusima ni kintu kituunga anga ng'wenda mukulu ukusima pihi mu mahalu mu nkigo niakwe yihi inne.
12 okwakukhona kulo izidalwa zonke ezilenyawo ezine zomhlaba lezeganga lezihuquzelayo lenyoni zezulu.
Mukati akwe ai ikoli mpyani yihi nia ikali ni ikete migulu inne nizi ni yagulaa migulya a mahalu, ni nyunyi nia milunde.
13 Kwasekufika ilizwi kuye lathi: Sukuma, Petro, hlaba udle.
Hangi luli lukaligitya kitalakwe, “Uka, Petro sinza nu nkulya.”
14 Kodwa uPetro wathi: Hatshi bo, Nkosi; ngoba kangizake ngidle loba yini engahlambulukanga kumbe engcolileyo.
Kuiti uPetro akaligitya “Shanga iti, Mukulu ku nsoko nkili nkaye kulya kintu kihi ni kizumi hangi kishapu.
15 Ilizwi laphinda ngokwesibili kuye: Izinto uNkulunkulu azihlambululileyo, wena ungatsho ukuthi kazihlambulukanga.
Kuiti u luli lukapembya kitalakwe hangi ku nkua akabiili “Nukeilye Itunda leka kukitanga kizumi ang'wi ki shapu.”
16 Njalo lokhu kwenzeka kwaze kwaba kathathu; lesitsha sabuya saphakanyiselwa ezulwini.
Iki ai kipumie nkua itaatu, ni kiseme iko kikatula kaholwaa hangi milunde.
17 Kwathi uPetro esadidekile ngaphakathi kwakhe ukuthi ngabe uyini umbono awubonileyo, njalo khangela, amadoda ayethunywe evela kuKorneliyu, esebuzile indlu kaSimoni, ema esangweni,
Ni matungo uPetro aze ukoli mu uhalinkanilwa migulya a muloto nuanso ndogoelyo akwe ntuni, Goza, antu nai atulaa alagiigwe nu Kornelio akimika ntongeela a mumpita, azekolya i nzila a kulongola mu ito.
18 esememezile abuza ukuthi uSimoni, othiwa futhi nguPetro, ungenisile lapha yini.
Hangi akitanga nu ku kolya anga ize uSimioni nuitangwaa ga ni Petro anga ize ai watulaa wkiie pang'wanso.
19 Kwathi uPetro esanakana ngombono, uMoya wathi kuye: Khangela, amadoda amathathu ayakudinga.
Itungo nilanso uPetro nai watulaa ukusiga migulya a uwo u muloto, Ng'wau Ng'welu akaligitya nu ng'wenso,
20 Ngakho sukuma wehle, uhambe lawo, ungathandabuzi; ngoba yimi engiwathumileyo.
“Uka hangi usime pihi nu kulongola ni enso. Leka kitumba kulongola ni enso, ku nsoko nialagiiye.”
21 UPetro wasesehlela emadodeni avela kuKorneliyu ayethunywe kuye, wathi: Khangelani, yimi elimdingayo; yisizatho bani elize ngaso?
uPetro akasima pihi kitalao nu kuligitya, “Unene yuyo ni mukumuduma. Ku niki mupembilye?”
22 Basebesithi: UKorneliyu induna yekhulu, indoda elungileyo lemesabayo uNkulunkulu, efakazelwa yisizwe sonke samaJuda, walayelwa nguNkulunkulu ngengilosi engcwele ukuthi akubizele endlini yakhe, njalo ezwe amazwi kuwe.
Akaligitya, “Akida ung'wi i lina nilakwe Kornelio, muntu nua tai ane hangi wilowaa kumukulya Itunda, ni antu imutambulaa ikende mu ingu wihi nua Ayahudi, utambuiwe nu malaika nuang'wa Itunda ku ulagiilya iti ulongole mi ito nilakwe, iti wije u lukani kupuma kitalako.”
23 Ngakho esebabizele phakathi wabangenisa. Njalo kusisa uPetro waphuma wahamba labo, labanye babazalwane ababeseJopha bahamba laye.
uPetro aka asingiilya kingila mukati nu kikie palung'wi nu ng'wenso. Kidau dau nai kityatile akauka akalongola palung'wi ni enso, ni anya ndugu asheenyu kupuma ku Yafa akityata nu ng'wenso.
24 Ngosuku olulandelayo basebengena eKesariya. LoKorneliyu wayebalindele, esebizele ndawonye izihlobo zakhe labangane abazwana laye.
Luhiku nai lutyatile ai azile ku Kaisaria. Nu Kornelio ai ukoli ualindiie; hangi ai watulaa waitanga palung'wi anya ndugu akwe ni ahumba uya akwe nia pakupi.
25 Kwathi sekwenzakele ukuthi uPetro angene, uKorneliyu wamhlangabeza, ewela enyaweni zakhe, wamkhonza.
Matungo uPetro nai ukingila mukati, uKornelio akamusingiilya nu kutuna kupika pihi mu migulu akwe ku ikulyo.
26 Kodwa uPetro emphakamisa, wathi: Sukuma; lami ngokwami ngingumuntu.
Kuiti uPetro akamunyansula nu kuligitya “Imike; ga nu nene mukola ingi ni bina adamu.”
27 Njalo esakhuluma layo wangena, wafica abanengi bebuthene,
Matungo uPetro aze ukoli ukitambuila nu ng'wenso, ai ulongoe mu ito akahanga i antu ilundiila palung'wi.
28 wasesithi kubo: Lina liyazi ukuthi kakuvunyelwa emuntwini ongumJuda ukuhlangana kumbe ukuya emuntwini wesinye isizwe; kodwa uNkulunkulu ungitshengisile ukuthi ngingabizi muntu ngokuthi kahlambulukanga kumbe ungcolile;
Aka aila, Unyenye akola mulingile kina shanga ilagiilyo nila Ayahudi kihanguila ang'wi kugendeelwa nu muntu niiza shanga nua ingu uwu. Kuiti Itunda undagiie unene kina shanga ntakiwe kumitanga muntu wihi ingi muzung'waa ang'wi mushapu.
29 ngakho-ke ngizile ngingaphikisanga nxa ngibizwa. Ngakho ngiyabuza, ukuthi ungibizele sizatho bani?
Hangi yiyo ndogoelyo mpembilye bila kikungumya, nai ndagiigwe ku nsoko a iko. Kululo numukolye ku niki mulagiigwe ku nsoko ane.”
30 UKorneliyu wasesithi: Ngensuku ezine ezidlulileyo kuze kube yilelihola ngangizila ukudla, ngehola lesificamunwemunye ngangikhuleka endlini yami; njalo khangela, indoda yema phambi kwami yembethe isembatho esikhazimulayo,
uKornelio akaligitya, “Mahiku anne nakiile, itungo anga lili aza nkoli kulompa itungo nila saa kenda mung'wi mukati ito nilane; Nihenga ntogeela ane muntu wimikile ukete ni ang'wenda elu.
31 yasisithi: Korneliyu, umkhuleko wakho uzwakele, lemisebenzi yakho yomusa ikhunjulwe phambi kukaNkulunkulu.
Akantambuila. “Kornelio malompi ako igigwa nu Itunda, ni masongelyo ako ku aula yatulaa ukimbukiilyi ntongeela ang'wa Itunda.
32 Ngakho thumela eJopha, ubusubiza uSimoni othiwa futhi nguPetro; yena ungenisile endlini kaSimoni umtshuki wezikhumba ngaselwandle; ozakuthi angabuya akutshele.
Kululo lagiilya muntu ku Yafa nu kumitanga muntu ung'wi nuitangwaa Simioni waze kitalako, naiza hangi witangwaa Petro. naizaa wikiie ku muzipya ndili ung'wi nuitangwaa Simioni naiza ito nilakwe likoli mu mpelo a luzi.
33 Ngakho ngahle ngathumela kuwe; njalo wena wenze kuhle ukuthi ufike. Ngakho khathesi sesikhona sonke phambi kukaNkulunkulu ukuze sizwe konke okulayelwe nguNkulunkulu.
(Komaniilya; U lukiili ulu, Nu ng'wenso nuikapemya ukuligitya nu nyenye,” umutule mu ukilisigwa nua kali.)
34 Kwathi uPetro evula umlomo, wathi: Ngeqiniso ngiyaqedisisa ukuthi uNkulunkulu kayisuye umkhangeli wobuso bomuntu;
Uugwa uPetro akalugula u mulomo nuakwe nuku ligitya “Tai, nahuiila kina Itunda shanga uhumile kutula nu ukuili.
35 kodwa kuso sonke isizwe yena omesabayo lowenza ukulunga, uyemukeleka kuye.
Badala akwe, kila ingu u muntu wihi nuimukulyaa nu kituma i ntendo nia tai ane ugombekile kitalakwe.
36 Ilizwi alithumela kubantwana bakoIsrayeli, ngevangeli etshumayela ukuthula ngoJesu Kristu (yena uyiNkosi yabo bonke).
Ulingile u lukani nai u upimilye ku antu a Isreli, nai watulaa ukutanantya lukani nu lukende nula ulyuuku kukiila Yesu Kristo naiza Mukulu nua ihi -
37 Lina liyalazi ilizwi elamenyezelwa eJudiya yonke, kusukela eGalili, emva kobhabhathizo uJohane alutshumayelayo;
nu nyenye akola mulingile i kintu nai kipumie, naiza kipumie ku Yudea ihi hangi ai landiiye ku Galilaya, ze yzkilaa u wogigwa naza uYohana ai utanantilye.
38 uJesu weNazaretha, ukuthi uNkulunkulu wamgcoba njani ngoMoya oNgcwele langamandla, owabhoda esenza okulungileyo njalo esilisa bonke labo abacindezelwe ngudiyabhola, ngoba uNkulunkulu wayelaye.
i kintu nai katulaa kimutule uYesu Kristo iti Itunda nai umuikie i makuta ku Ng'wau Ng'welu nu ku ngulu. Ai ulongoe nukituma u ukende nu kuaguna ihi naiagigwe nu mulugu, ku nsoko Itunda ai watulaa palung'wi nu ng'wenso.
39 Lathi singabafakazi bezinto zonke azenzayo elizweni lamaJuda leJerusalema; abambulala bamphanyeka esihlahleni.
Usese ingi akuiili a makani ihi nai witumile mi ihi nia Uyahudi nu mu Yerusalemu- uyu ingi Yesu nai amubulagile nu kumutumbika mikota.
40 Yena uNkulunkulu wamvusa ngosuku lwesithathu, wasemnika ukuze abonakale,
Uyu muntu wang'wa Itunda nai umiukilye luhiku nula kataatu nu kuminkiilya kukumuka, shanga ku antu ihi, kuiti ku akuiili nai aholanigwe ze ikili ni Itunda.
41 kungeyisikho kubo bonke abantu, kodwa kubafakazi ababekhethwe ngaphambili nguNkulunkulu, kithi, esadla sanatha kanye laye emva kokuvuka kwakhe kwabafileyo.
-usese akola, nai kalyaa nu ng'wenso nu kung'waa nu ng'wenso ze yakilaa kiuka kupuma ku ashi.
42 Wasesilaya ukuthi sitshumayele ebantwini, sifakaze ukuthi nguye omiswe nguNkulunkulu ukuba nguMehluli wabaphilayo labafileyo.
Ukulagiiye kutanantya ku antu nu ku kuiila kina uyu yuyo naiza Itunda ai umuholanilye kutula mulamuli nua nia panga nawa niakule.
43 Ngaye bonke abaprofethi bafakaza, ukuthi wonke okholwa kuye uzakwemukela uthethelelo lwezono ngebizo lakhe.
Mu ng'wenso anyakidagu ihi akuiile, iti kina kila nukuhuiila mu ng'wenso ukusingiilya ulekelwa nua mulandu kukiila i lina nilakwe.”
44 Kwathi uPetro esakhuluma lawomazwi, uMoya oyiNgcwele wehlela phezu kwabo bonke abalizwayo ilizwi.
Matungo uPetro ulongolekile kuligitya aya, Ng'wau Ng'welu akaizulya ihi nai atulaa akutegeelya u lukani nulakwe.
45 Labokusoka abakholwayo basanganiseka, bonke ababefike loPetro, ukuthi isipho sikaMoya oNgcwele sathululelwa laphezu kwabezizwe;
Antu awo niatulikile ni idale nila ahuiili nai atawe ikidamu- awo ihi nai azile nu Petro- ai akuiwe, ku nsoko a kipegwa nika Ng'wau Ng'welu nai uhunuwe ga nuku anyaingu.
46 ngoba babezwa bekhuluma ngendimi, bekhulisa uNkulunkulu. Khona uPetro waphendula wathi:
Ku nsoko ai igule awa anyaingu akutambula ku ntambu ingiiza nu kumukulya Itunda. uPetro akasukiilya.
47 Ukhona yini ongala lamanzi, ukuthi laba bangabhabhathizwa, abemukele uMoya oyiNgcwele lanjengathi?
“Ukoli muntu wihi uhumile kugilya i mazi iti i antu aleke kogigwa, Antu awa amusingiilya uNg'wau Ng'welu anga usese?”
48 Waselaya ukuthi babhabhathizwe ebizweni leNkosi. Basebemcela ukuthi ahlale insuku ezithile.
Uugwa akalagiilya ogigwe ku lina nilang'wa Yesu Kristo. Panya mbele akamulompa wikiie nienso ku mahiku kituunga.
