Imisebenzi 11
1 Abaphostoli labazalwane ababeseJudiya basebesizwa ukuthi abezizwe labo balemukele ilizwi likaNkulunkulu.
Jihudi nattabasingnasu Tengban Mapugi wa lousille haiba pakhonchatpasingna amadi Judea-da leiba thajabasingna tarammi.
2 Kwathi uPetro esenyukele eJerusalema, abokusoka baphikisana laye,
Maram aduna Peter-na Jerusalem-da chatpada atoppa phurupsingsu un-kakkadabani haina thajabasingna mangonda yetladuna hairak-i,
3 besithi: Ungene emadodeni angasokanga, wadla lawo.
“Nahakna un-kaktaba migi yumda changduna makhoiga chamin thakminnei.”
4 Kodwa uPetro eqala wabalandisela ngokulandelana esithi:
Maduda Peter-na thokkhiba thoudok pumnak adu ahoubadagi liba houraduna hairak-i,
5 Mina ngangisemzini weJopha ngikhuleka, ngasengibona ekuhlehlisweni kwengqondo umbono, kwehla isitsha esithile, sinjengelembu elikhulu sisehliswa ngamasondo amane sivela ezulwini, sasesifika kimi;
“Eina Joppa saharda haijaduna leiringeida uhanbiba ama urammi. Swarga hangdokpa aduga apakpa phigumba ama chuthek marida kanagumbana paiba manna swargadagi thadaraklammi aduga madu eigi inak yourakkhi.
6 okwathi sengilikhangelisisile ngaqaphelisa, ngasengibona inyamazana ezilenyawo ezine zomhlaba lezeganga lezihuquzelayo lenyoni zezulu.
Aduga eina maduda munna yengbada malemgi makhong mari panba sasing, lamlakki sasing, mapukna sittuna chatpasing amadi atiyagi ucheksing yaoba urammi.
7 Ngasengisizwa ilizwi lisithi kimi: Sukuma, Petro, hlaba udle.
Adudagi khonjel amana eingonda hairak-i, ‘Hougatlu Peter, hattuna chao’
8 Kodwa ngathi: Hatshi bo Nkosi; ngoba loba yini engahlambulukanga kumbe engcolileyo kayizake ingene emlonyeni wami.
Maduda eina khumkhi, ‘Natte, Ibungo! Keidoungeidasu amaangba amasung sengdaba amata eigi chinda khak changkhidri.’
9 Kodwa ilizwi langiphendula ngokwesibili livela ezulwini lathi: Izinto uNkulunkulu azihlambululileyo, wena ungatsho ukuthi kazihlambulukanga.
Adubu khonjel aduna swargadagi amukka hairak-i, ‘Tengban Mapuna senghanbikhraba adubu nahakna sengdabani haina louroidabani.’
10 Lokhu-ke kwenzeka kathathu, njalo konke kwabuye kwadonselwa phezulu ezulwini.
Madu ahumlak thokkhi aduga pumnamak adu swargada amuk chingkhatkhi.
11 Njalo khangela, ngasona lesosikhathi amadoda amathathu ema phambi kwendlu engangikuyo, ethunyiwe kimi evela eKesariya.
Aduga khudak adumaktada Caesarea-dagi tharakpa nupa ahumna eina leiriba yum aduda thunglare.
12 UMoya wasesithi kimi ngihambe lawo, ngingathandabuzi; lalababazalwane abayisithupha labo bahamba lami, sasesingena endlini yendoda;
Eina makhoiga chingnaba leitana chatminnanaba Thawai Asengbana eingonda hairammi. Ichil inao taruk asisu eiga loinana chatlammi aduga eikhoi loina Cornelius-ki yumda changlammi.
13 yasisibikela ukuthi yayibone njani ingilosi imi endlini yayo, isithi kuyo: Thumela amadoda eJopha, ubize uSimoni, othiwa nguPetro,
Mahakna swarga dut ama mahakki yumda ukhiba adu eikhoida tamlammi aduga dut aduna mangonda hai, ‘Joppa-dagi Simon Peter kouba nupa amabu mi thaduna kouru.
14 ozakutshela amazwi, ozasindiswa ngawo wena lendlu yakho yonke.
Nahak amadi nahakki imung pumnamak aran-khubham phangnaba mahakna nangonda wa nganggani.’
15 Kwathi ngisaqala ukukhuluma, uMoya oyiNgcwele wehlela phezu kwabo, lanjengakithi ekuqaleni.
Hourakpada eikhoigi ithakta Thawai Asengbana lakpibagumna, eina wa ngangba hourakpada makhoigi mathaktasu lakpikhi.
16 Ngakhumbula ilizwi leNkosi, ukuthi yakhuluma njani isithi: Isibili uJohane wabhabhathiza ngamanzi, kodwa lina lizabhabhathizwa ngoMoya oNgcwele.
Maduda ‘John-nadi isingda baptize toubi adubu einadi nakhoibu Thawai Asengbada baptize toubigani’ haina Ibungona haikhiba wa adu eina ningsinglakkhi.
17 Ngakho nxa uNkulunkulu ebanikile isipho esifananayo lanjengakithi, esakholwa eNkosini uJesu Kristu, mina bengingubani ebengingavimbela uNkulunkulu?
Eikhoina Ibungo Jisu Christtabu thajaba matamda Tengban Mapuna eikhoida pibiba khudol adumak pibirabadi, eina kana oiduna Tengban Mapubu thinggadouribano?”
18 Njalo bathi sebezizwile lezizinto bathula, bamdumisa uNkulunkulu, besithi: Ngakho-ke uNkulunkulu unikile abezizwe labo ukuphendukela empilweni.
Wa asi tabada makhoi tumin leire. Aduga makhoina Tengban Mapubu thagattuna hairak-i, “Tengban Mapuna Jihudi nattabasingsu hingba phangnabagi pukning hongba adu pibire.”
19 Labo-ke abahlakazeka ngokuhlupheka okwenzeka mayelana loStefane badabula baze bafika eFenekiya leKuprosi leAntiyoki, bengalikhulumi ilizwi lakoyedwa ngaphandle kumaJuda kuphela.

20 Kodwa kwakukhona abanye kubo, amadoda amaKuprosi lamaKurene, abathi sebefike eAntiyoki, bakhuluma lamaHelenisiti, betshumayela indaba ezinhle zeNkosi uJesu.

21 Lesandla seNkosi sasilabo; njalo inani elikhulu lakholwa laphendukela eNkosini.
Aduga Ibungogi panggalna makhoiga loinarammi amasung mi mayam amana thajaraktuna Mapu Ibungoda mai onsillaklammi.
22 Zasezizwakala indaba ngabo endlebeni zebandla elaliseJerusalema; basebethuma uBarnabasi ukuthi adabule kuze kube seAntiyoki;
Pao asi Jerusalem-da leiba singlupki maphamda youraklammi maram aduna makhoina Barnabas-pu Antioch-ta tharaklammi.
23 kwathi esefikile esebona umusa kaNkulunkulu wathokoza, wasebakhuthaza bonke ukuthi babambelele eNkosini ngokuzimisela kwenhliziyo;
Mahakna thungba matamda Tengban Mapuna makhoibu yaipha thoujal pibiba adu urammi maduda mahak haraorammi aduga makhoina thajaba yana amadi thamoi sengna Ibungoda leinaba mahakna makhoida pukning thougatpirammi.
24 ngoba wayeyindoda elungileyo egcwele uMoya oNgcwele lokholo; kwengezelelwa eNkosini ixuku elikhulu.

25 UBarnabasi wasesiya eTarsu ukuze adinge uSawuli,
Adudagi Barnabas-na Saul-bu thiba Tarsus-ta chatlammi.
26 kwathi esemtholile wamletha eAntiyoki. Kwasekusithi umnyaka wonke behlangana ebandleni bafundisa ixuku elikhulu; njalo abafundi baqala ukubizwa ngokuthi ngamaKristu eAntiyoki.

27 Kwathi ngalezonsuku kwafika eAntiyoki abaprofethi bevela eJerusalema.

28 Kwasekusukuma omunye wabo othiwa nguAgabusi, watshengisa ngoMoya ukuthi kuzakuba khona indlala enkulu emhlabeni wonke; eyaba khona futhi ngesikhathi sikaKlawudiyosi Kesari.

29 Labafundi bazimisela ukuthi ngulowo lalowo wabo athumele njengamandla alowo lalowo okokusiza abazalwane abahlala eJudiya;
