Imisebenzi 11
1 Abaphostoli labazalwane ababeseJudiya basebesizwa ukuthi abezizwe labo balemukele ilizwi likaNkulunkulu.
Jintumwa na bhaili bhalya bhaliga bhali eyo yudea nibhongwa ati abhanu bha Maanga one bhagulamie omusango gwa Nyamuanga.
2 Kwathi uPetro esenyukele eJerusalema, abokusoka baphikisana laye,
Petro ejile aja eyo Yerusalemu, echise cha bhanu bhanu bhaliga batendelwe nibhamba okumugaya, nibhaika,
3 besithi: Ungene emadodeni angasokanga, wadla lawo.
“ugwatene na bhanu bhanu bhatatendelwe no kulya nabho!”
4 Kodwa uPetro eqala wabalandisela ngokulandelana esithi:
Mbe nawe Petro namba okwelesha kutyo gabhonekene mu bhwima; naika,
5 Mina ngangisemzini weJopha ngikhuleka, ngasengibona ekuhlehlisweni kwengqondo umbono, kwehla isitsha esithile, sinjengelembu elikhulu sisehliswa ngamasondo amane sivela ezulwini, sasesifika kimi;
“Naliga ninsabhwa mu musi gwa Yafa, Mbe nindola ebhilolo bhye chinu chinu chaliga nichika lwo mwenda munene nigwika okusoka mu lwile ku nsonde yagwo jone enna. echinu echo nichika Kwanye.
6 okwathi sengilikhangelisisile ngaqaphelisa, ngasengibona inyamazana ezilenyawo ezine zomhlaba lezeganga lezihuquzelayo lenyoni zezulu.
Ninchilolelela no kuchiganilisha. Nindola jityanyi eja magulu gana jinu jikae kuchalo, na jityanyi ja Ibhala na bhinu ebhikwesa na jinyonyi ja mulutumbha.
7 Ngasengisizwa ilizwi lisithi kimi: Sukuma, Petro, hlaba udle.
Mbe ninungwa Obhulaka nibhwaika nanye, “imuka Petro ubhage na ulye!”
8 Kodwa ngathi: Hatshi bo Nkosi; ngoba loba yini engahlambulukanga kumbe engcolileyo kayizake ingene emlonyeni wami.
Ninaika,'jitali kutyo, Latabugenyi, mukanwa yani chichaliga kwingilamo chinu chona chona chinu chitali chelu amwi chijabhi”
9 Kodwa ilizwi langiphendula ngokwesibili livela ezulwini lathi: Izinto uNkulunkulu azihlambululileyo, wena ungatsho ukuthi kazihlambulukanga.
Mbe nawe Obhulaka nibusubhya lindi okusoka mu lwile, chinu Nyamuanga alasishe kubha chelu, wasiga kuchibhilikila chijabhi,
10 Lokhu-ke kwenzeka kathathu, njalo konke kwabuye kwadonselwa phezulu ezulwini.
Gunu gwabhonekene kwiya ngendo esatu, na bhuli chinu nichigegwa lindi mulwile
11 Njalo khangela, ngasona lesosikhathi amadoda amathathu ema phambi kwendlu engangikuyo, ethunyiwe kimi evela eKesariya.
Lola, omwanya ogwo bhanu bhasatu bhaliga bhemeleguyu imbhele ya inyumba ilya munu chaliga chili; bhatumwa okusoka Kaisaria okuja Kwanye.
12 UMoya wasesithi kimi ngihambe lawo, ngingathandabuzi; lalababazalwane abayisithupha labo bahamba lami, sasesingena endlini yendoda;
Mwoyo nambwila okugenda nabho, na nasiga okutasikana nabho Bhanu bhalume mukaga nibhagenda amwi nanye na nichigenda ku nyumba yo munu umwi
13 yasisibikela ukuthi yayibone njani ingilosi imi endlini yayo, isithi kuyo: Thumela amadoda eJopha, ubize uSimoni, othiwa nguPetro,
Achibhwilie kutyo amulolele malaika emeleguyu mu nyumba yae naika,” niuntume nigende Yafa nimulete Simoni unu lisina lyae elindi ni Petro.
14 ozakutshela amazwi, ozasindiswa ngawo wena lendlu yakho yonke.
Kajo kwaika emisango kwawe kwibhyo oujo okukisibhwa awe na inyumba yao.”
15 Kwathi ngisaqala ukukhuluma, uMoya oyiNgcwele wehlela phezu kwabo, lanjengakithi ekuqaleni.
Nejile namba okwaika nabho, Mwoyo Mwelu nabhajako lwa kutyo ejile kwiswe mu bhwambilo.
16 Ngakhumbula ilizwi leNkosi, ukuthi yakhuluma njani isithi: Isibili uJohane wabhabhathiza ngamanzi, kodwa lina lizabhabhathizwa ngoMoya oNgcwele.
Enichuka emisango ja Latabugenyi lwa kutyo aikile, Yohana abhatijishe kwa manji; Nawe omuja okubhatijibhwa kwo Mwoyo Mwelu.”
17 Ngakho nxa uNkulunkulu ebanikile isipho esifananayo lanjengakithi, esakholwa eNkosini uJesu Kristu, mina bengingubani ebengingavimbela uNkulunkulu?
Alabha one Nyamuanga asosishe ebhiyanwa lwa kutyo achiyanile eswe anu chekilisishe mu Latabugenyi Yesu Masiya, anye nanye ga unu enitula okumuganya Nyamuanga?
18 Njalo bathi sebezizwile lezizinto bathula, bamdumisa uNkulunkulu, besithi: Ngakho-ke uNkulunkulu unikile abezizwe labo ukuphendukela empilweni.
Bhejile bhongwa amasango ago, bhatasubhishe, nawe bhamusimile Nyamuanga no kwaika, Nyamuanga asosha okuta kwa bha maanga one.”
19 Labo-ke abahlakazeka ngokuhlupheka okwenzeka mayelana loStefane badabula baze bafika eFenekiya leKuprosi leAntiyoki, bengalikhulumi ilizwi lakoyedwa ngaphandle kumaJuda kuphela.
Mbe abhekilisha bhanu Jinyako jambie mu lufu lwa Stephano bhanyalambukile okusoka mu Yerusalemu -abhekilisha bhanu bhajie kula kukinga Foinike, Kipro na Antiokia. Bhabhabhwilie emisango ja Yesu enyele-ela mu Bhayaudi na ati atalio oundi wona wona.
20 Kodwa kwakukhona abanye kubo, amadoda amaKuprosi lamaKurene, abathi sebefike eAntiyoki, bakhuluma lamaHelenisiti, betshumayela indaba ezinhle zeNkosi uJesu.
Mbe nawe abhandi bhebhwe ni bhanu abhasoka Kipro na Krene, bhejile Antiokia no kwaika na Bhayunani no kumulasha Latabugenyi Yesu.
21 Lesandla seNkosi sasilabo; njalo inani elikhulu lakholwa laphendukela eNkosini.
No kubhoko kwa Latabugenyi kwaliga kuli amwi nabho, na bhanu bhafu bhekilisishe no kumuindukila Latabugenyi.
22 Zasezizwakala indaba ngabo endlebeni zebandla elaliseJerusalema; basebethuma uBarnabasi ukuthi adabule kuze kube seAntiyoki;
Emisango jebhwe nijikingila mu matwi ga Ikanisa inu yaliga ili Yerusalemu: Mbe nibhamtuma Barnaba agende Antiokia.
23 kwathi esefikile esebona umusa kaNkulunkulu wathokoza, wasebakhuthaza bonke ukuthi babambelele eNkosini ngokuzimisela kwenhliziyo;
Ejile aja no kulola ebhiyanwa bhya Nyamuanga akondeywe; no kubhatamo omwoyo bhona ati bhasigale na Latabugenyi mu mioyo jebhwe.
24 ngoba wayeyindoda elungileyo egcwele uMoya oNgcwele lokholo; kwengezelelwa eNkosini ixuku elikhulu.
Kulwo kubha aliga ali munu wa bhwana na ejusibhwe na Mwoyo Mwelu ne likilisha lya Bhanu bhafu nibheyongesha ku Latabugenyi.
25 UBarnabasi wasesiya eTarsu ukuze adinge uSawuli,
Okumala Barnaba ajie Tarso okumulola Sauli.
26 kwathi esemtholile wamletha eAntiyoki. Kwasekusithi umnyaka wonke behlangana ebandleni bafundisa ixuku elikhulu; njalo abafundi baqala ukubizwa ngokuthi ngamaKristu eAntiyoki.
Ejile amubhona, namuleta Antiokia. ejile amala mwaka gumwi mkobhe nibhekofyanya amwi na likanisa no kwi- igisha bhanu bhafu. Abheigisibhwa kwo lugendo lwo kwamba niwo nibhabhilikilwa abhakilisto eyo Antiokia.
27 Kwathi ngalezonsuku kwafika eAntiyoki abaprofethi bevela eJerusalema.
Mu naku jinu abhalagi nibhatelemuka okusoka mu Yerusalemu nibhakinga Antiokia
28 Kwasekusukuma omunye wabo othiwa nguAgabusi, watshengisa ngoMoya ukuthi kuzakuba khona indlala enkulu emhlabeni wonke; eyaba khona futhi ngesikhathi sikaKlawudiyosi Kesari.
Oumwi webhwe katogwa Agabho ndyo lisina lyae, nemelegulu nelesibhwa na Mwoyo ati oguja okubhao omweko mwafu muchalo Chona. Jinu jabhonekene mu mwanya gwa jisiku ja Klaudio.
29 Labafundi bazimisela ukuthi ngulowo lalowo wabo athumele njengamandla alowo lalowo okokusiza abazalwane abahlala eJudiya;
Kulwejo, abheigisibhwa, bhuli munu lwa kutyo aliga nabhona, nibhalamula okusila ebhinu byo kubhasakila abhanu bhanu bhaliga mu Bhuyaudi.
30 abakwenzayo-ke, bakuthumela kubadala ngesandla sikaBarnabasi loSawuli.
Bhakolele kutya, bhatumile Barnaba na Sauli mu mabhoko gebhwe okubhasilila Jimpilya.
