Imisebenzi 13

1 Kwakukhona eAntiyoki ebandleni lapho abaprofethi labafundisi abathile, uBarnabasi kanye loSimeyoni othiwa nguNigeri, loLukiyu umKurene, loManayeni owayondliwe kanye loHerodi umtetrarki, loSawuli.

Antiokua mono nonte'ma menima mani'naza kasnampa vahe'ene, rempi huzmi vahera ama'a mani'naze, Banabasiki, Simioni (aganumpa nere hu'za nehaza ne'ki), Lusiusi'a Sairini ne'ki, kumate ugagota kva (Gavana) ne' Heroti knampa, magoka ositeti rasena'a ne' Manainiki, Soliki hu'za mani'naze.

2 Kwathi bekhonza iNkosi bezila ukudla, uMoya oyiNgcwele wathi: Ngehlukaniselani oBarnabasi kanye loSawuli emsebenzini engibabizele wona.

Anamo'za Ramofonte mono hunente'za, ne'za a'o hu'za nunamu nehazageno, Ruotge Avamu'mo'a anage hu'ne, Banabasine Soli kizni huhampri znante'keno, eri'za eriogu hua eri'zana eri'o hu'ne.

3 Sebezile ukudla bakhuleka babeka izandla phezu kwabo, babathuma.

Ana hute'za ne'zama a'o hu'za mani'neza henka zamazana znagofetu ante'za nunamu hute'za huzamantake'ne vu'na'e.

4 Bona-ke sebethunyiwe nguMoya oyiNgcwele, behlela eSelukiya, basuka lapho baya eKuprosi ngomkhumbi.

Banabasine Soli kiznia Ruotge Avamu'mo huznantege'ne Selusia uramike vente omerike Saiprusi ti amu'nompi me'nea kumate vu'na'e.

5 Kwathi sebefikile eSalamisi, batshumayela ilizwi likaNkulunkulu emasinagogeni amaJuda; njalo babeloJohane umsizi.

Zamagrama Saramisi kumate vute'za, agafa hu'za Anumzamofo kea Jiu vahe osi mono nompi (Sinagog) huama hu'naze. Zanaza hanigu Joninena avare'ke umani'naze. (Mago agi'a Jon Maki'e.)

6 Kwathi sebedabule isihlenge bafika ePhafosi, bafica isanuse esithile, umprofethi wamanga, umJuda, obizo lakhe nguBarjesu,

Zamagrama maka ti amunompi kumatami agatere'za nevu'za Pafosi uhanati'za zago nereno Jiu vahepi havige kasnampa nera, Bar Jisasi'e nehaza nera mani'negeke ke'na'e.

7 owayelombusi uSergiyu Pawuli, indoda ehlakaniphileyo. Lo wabizela kuye uBarnabasi loSawuli edinga ukuzwa ilizwi likaNkulunkulu.

Ana nera, Segius Paulosi knare antahizamo agatere'nea ne' Romu kamanimo huhamprintegeno ana ti amu'nompi kuma kava hu'nea ne'ene mani'ne, ana kamani kva (gavana) ne'mo'a Banabasine Soli kizni Anumzamofo ke eme asami'ogu zanagi hu'ne.

8 Kodwa isanuse, uElimasi, ngoba liphendulelwa njalo ibizo lakhe, waphikisana labo, edinga ukuphambula umbusi ekholweni.

Hu'neanagi amene ne' Elimasi'a zago nereno ha' arezmanteno ana kamani kva ne'mo amentinti osanie hu'ne. (Elimasi'e huno Griki kefi hu'neana, avuatga huno zago nereno vahe zamahe fri nere hu'ne.)

9 Kodwa uSawuli, onguPawuli futhi, egcwele uMoya oNgcwele, njalo emjolozela

Hu'neanagi Solina, mago agi'a Polikino, Ruotge Avamumo'a agu'afi avinetegeno avua kefatgo huno ana ne' negeno,

10 wathi: O wena ogcwele inkohliso yonke lobuqili bonke, ndodana kadiyabhola, sitha sakho konke ukulunga, kawuyekeli ukuphambula indlela eziqondileyo zeNkosi yini?

anage hu'ne, Kagripina havige avu'avamo'ene havizahu zamo'a avite'ne. Sata mofavre mani'nenka fatgo avu'avamofona ha' arenentane, kagra fatgo osu avu'avara netrenka, Anumzamofo fatgo avu'avara osugahampi?

11 Njalo khathesi khangela, isandla seNkosi siphezu kwakho, njalo uzakuba yisiphofu, ungaliboni ilanga okwesikhathi. Kwahle kwamehlela ukufiphala lobumnyama, wahamba ebhoda edinga abazamdonsa ngesandla.

Menina ko, Anumzamofo azamo'a ha' reganteankino kavurgamo'a asu hanigenka, osi'a knafina kavua onkegahane! Higeno ame huno avumo'a asu higeno, azante azerino vanohu vaheku hakre'ne.

12 Ngalesosikhathi umbusi wabona okwenziweyo wakholwa, edidwa yimfundiso yeNkosi.

Anante kamani (Gavana) kva ne'mo anazama agrite fore hiaza negeno, amentinti hu'ne. Na'ankure agra tusi'za huno Ramofonkema rempima humia zankura antri hu'ne.

13 UPawuli lababelaye basebesuka ngomkhumbi ePhafosi bafika ePerga esePamfiliya. Kodwa uJohane wehlukana labo wabuyela eJerusalema.

Anante Poli'ene agrane vu'naza vahe'mo'za Pafosi kuma atre'za ventefi mareri'za hagerimpi vu'za Pega kumate Pamfalia kaziga ehanati'naze. Hianangi Joni'a anante ome zanatreno ete Jerusalemi kumate vu'ne.

14 Kodwa bona bedabula besuka ePerga, bafika eAntiyoki esePisidiya; ngosuku lwesabatha basebengena esinagogeni, bahlala phansi.

Pega kumara atreke, zanagra Pisidia Antioku ehanatike, mani fruhu knazupa osi mono nompi (sinagog) marerike umani'na'e.

15 Kwathi sekufundwe umlayo labaprofethi, abaphathi besinagoge bathumela kubo, besithi: Madoda bazalwane, uba kulelizwi phakathi kwenu lenkuthazo ebantwini, khulumani.

Kasegene kasnampa vahe kema hampri vagarete'za osi mono nompi kva vahe'mo'za ke atrezmante'za anage hu'naze, Tafuheta mago'a tazeri hanaveti ke eri'nenutma amane hugahaze.

16 Kwathi uPawuli esukuma, njalo eqhweba ngesandla, wathi: Madoda maIsrayeli, lani elesaba uNkulunkulu, lalelani.

Hazageno Poli'a anante otino azanu avame huno anage hu'ne, Israel vahe'motmane megi'a vahe'ma Anumzamofonku koroma nehaza'motma antahiho.

17 UNkulunkulu walesisizwe sakoIsrayeli wakhetha obaba bethu, wabaphakamisa abantu bengabemzini elizweni leGibhithe, wabakhupha kulo ngengalo ephakemeyo.

Ama'i Israeli vahe'mofo Anumzamo'a, tagri tagehe'ina huhampri zamanteno, ru vahe kumapima Isipima umani'nageno zamazeri knare zantfa nehuno hihamu'areti anampintira zamare megi atre'ne.

18 Wasebekezelela isimilo sabo okungaba yisikhathi seminyaka engamatshumi amane enkangala.

40'a kafufi ka'ma mopafi zamareno ome zamantege'za mani'naze.

19 Njalo esechithile izizwe eziyisikhombisa elizweni leKhanani, wabehlukanisela ilizwe labo ngenkatho.

7ni'a ranra kumatamimpi mani'naza Kenani vahe zamahe hana huteno, Anumzamo'a ana mopafi vahe'amo'za manisagu mopa erizamige'za zamagra mopa erise'za mani'naze.

20 Lemva kwalezizinto, okungaba ngokweminyaka engamakhulu amane lamatshumi amahlanu, wabanika abahluleli kwaze kwaba nguSamuweli umprofethi.

Anazama fore'ma hu'neana 450'a zagegafu nazampi fore hu'ne. Ana'ma huteno'a henka kva vahezaga zamazeri otige'za, kva krizmante'za mani'za e'za kasnampa ne' Samueli knare ehanati'naze.

21 Njalo kusukela lapho bacela inkosi; uNkulunkulu wasebanika uSawuli indodana kaKishi, indoda yesizwe sakoBhenjamini, okweminyaka engamatshumi amane.

Anante kini ne' tamisane hu'za antahigageno, Anumzamo'a Kisi nemofo Benzameni naga nofipinti ne' Soli zamigeno, 40'a zagegfufi kini manino kva huzmante'ne.

22 Njalo esemkhuphile, wabavusela uDavida waba yinkosi, afakaza langaye ngokuthi: Ngimtholile uDavida kaJese, indoda ngokwenhliziyo yami, ezakwenza intando yami yonke.

Anumzamo'a kini Solina azeri netreno, Deviti azeri otigeno kini manino kva huzmante'ne. Agra anage huno Devitinkura hu'ne, Nagra kogeno Jesi nemofo Deviti'a, Nagri'ma nagu'afima navenesia'zana agra nevaririno, maka'zama huo hanuazana hugahie. (Sam-Zga 89:20, 1 Sam 13:14)

23 Enzalweni yalumuntu njengesithembiso, uNkulunkulu uvusele uIsrayeli uMsindisi uJesu;

Ama ana ne'mofo negehompinti, Anumzamo'a Israeli vahe'mota tahoke'ma heno tazahu nera Jisasina huvempa hu'nea kante anteno tami'ne.

24 engakafiki yena uJohane wayesetshumayele kuqala ubhabhathizo lokuphenduka kubo bonke abantu bakoIsrayeli.

Jisasi'ma hakare'a Israeli vahe zamufi eama osu'negeno, Joni'a huama huno mono tina fretma tamagu'a rukrehe hiho huno maka Israeli vahe'mota tasami'ne.

25 UJohane esegcwalise uhambo lwakhe, wathi: Licabanga ukuthi ngingubani? Kangisuye mina; kodwa khangelani, emva kwami uyeza, engingafanelanga ukukhulula amanyathela enyawo zakhe.

Hu'neanagi Joni'ma huhamprinte'nea eri'zama'a eri vaga reteno'a, mago'ene anage hu'ne, iza'e hutma nagrikura nentahize? Nagra ana nera omani'noe. Hu'neanagi antahiho, mago'mo'a namage ne-e. Nagra knarera osu'noanki'na agia anonte'ma anaki'nea nofira katu ofegahue huno hu'ne.

26 Madoda bazalwane, bantwana bohlanga lukaAbrahama, lalabo phakathi kwenu abesaba uNkulunkulu, lithunyelwe kini ilizwi lalolusindiso.

Nafuhetma Abrahamu agigo azankomofo nagare, amama Anumzanku koro nehu'za tamagrane mani'naza megi'a vahe'motma kumipinti tazahu kea tagrite atregeno e'ne.

27 Ngoba labo abahlala eJerusalema lababusi babo kabamazanga lo, bawagcwalisa lamazwi abaprofethi afundwayo isabatha ngesabatha, ngokumlahla;

Na'ankure Jerusalemi mani'naza vahe'mo'zane, kva vahe'zmimo'zanena Agra taza hu'nere hu'za ke'za antahi'za osu'naze. Kasnampa vahe'mo'za Agriku hu'za kre'naza kea maka mani fruhu (sabat) mono knare'ma hampri'za nentahi'za, antahiso'e osu'za ahenaku huhaviza hunte'naza kemo'a, avufa'a fore hu'ne.

28 njalo bengatholi lacala lokufa, bacela kuPilatu ukuthi abulawe.

Ahe fri agafagura ke'za erifore osu'za, zamagra Paerotinte vu'za, antahige'za ahe frio hu'za hu'naze.

29 Kwathi sebeqedile konke okulotshiweyo ngaye, bamethula esihlahleni, bamlalisa engcwabeni.

Agriku'ma hu'zama avon tafepi krente'naza maka nanekea huvagarete'za, keka zafareti erifenka atre'za eri'za vu'za hanagati'za tro hunte'naza kerifi ome ante'naze.

30 Kodwa uNkulunkulu wamvusa kwabafileyo;

Hu'neanagi Anumzamo'a fri kragefe'nefinti azeri otigeno,

31 owabonwa insuku ezinengi yilabo ababenyukele laye ukuya eJerusalema besuka eGalili, abangabafakazi bakhe ebantwini.

Galiliti amage' ante'za Jerusalemi mareri'za e'naza vahetaminte rama'a zupa efore hu'ne. E'ima ke'naza naga'mo'za vahepina huama hu'za menina nezamasmize.

32 Lathi sitshumayela indaba ezinhle kini zesithembiso esenziwa kubobaba,

Hanki neragehokizmima huvempa huzmante'nea Knare Musenke tagrama neramasmunana,

33 ukuthi uNkulunkulu usigcwalisile sona kithi, abantwana babo, emvusile uJesu, njengoba kulotshiwe futhi kusihlabelelo sesibili ukuthi: Wena uyiNdodana yami, lamuhla mina ngikuzele.

ama ana huvempa kea, Anumzamo'a tagrite eri knare huranteno Agra'a mofavre'aza huneranteno, Jisasinena azeri oti'ne, ko'ma nampa 2 zagame avontafepima krente'nea kante, Kagra mofavreni'a menina maninkena, Nagra negafa'na manue huno huama hu'ne. (Sam-Zga 2:7)

34 Njalo ngokuthi wamvusa kwabafileyo, engasayikubuyela ekuboleni, wakhuluma kanje wathi: Ngizalinika izibusiso ezingcwele lezithembekileyo zikaDavida.

Hu'neanagi e'ima hunte'nere, Anumzamo'a tamage huno Jisasina azeri oti'neankino mago'anena frino onkasritfa hugahie, Anumzamo'a anage huno hu'ne, Nagra agru huno ruotge hu'nea huvempa asomu ke Devitima ami'noana, menina tamagrira tamigahue, (Ais 55:3)

35 Ngakho njalo kwenye indawo uthi: Kawuyikunikela oNgcwele wakho abone ukubola.

E'ina hu'negu mago'ene zagame avon tafepina anage huno kre'ne, Kagra atresankeno ruotge hu'nemo'a onkasrigahie. (Sam-Zga 16:10)

36 Ngoba uDavida, esekhonze esakhe isizukulwana ngecebo likaNkulunkulu walala, njalo walaliswa laboyise, wabona ukubola;

Deviti'a, agrama manino e'nea knafina Anumzamo'ma erigahane huno hunte'nea eri'zana eri vagareteno, frige'za negehoma asentenafi ome asentageno avufamo'a kasri'ne.

37 kodwa lowo uNkulunkulu amvusayo, kakubonanga ukubola.

Hu'neanagi Jisasina fri'nefinti Anumzamo azeri otigeno onkasri'ne.

38 Ngakho kakwaziwe yini, madoda bazalwane, ukuthi ngalowo kutshunyayelwa kini uthethelelo lwezono;

E'ina hu'negu nenafutma antahita keta hiho, ama ana ne'pinti kumi tamia eri atresia ke huama hu'na neramasmune.

39 njalo kulo wonke okholwayo uyalungisiswa kukho konke ebelingelungisiswe kukho ngomlayo kaMozisi.

Ama ana nete'ma zamentinti hanu'za fatgo vahe manigahaze. Mosese kasegemo'a tamazeri fatgo osugahie.

40 Ngakho qaphelani ukuthi kalehlelwa yilokhu okwakhulunywa kubaprofethi, okokuthi:

Ana hu'negu tamagra kava hu'nenkeno, kasnampa vahe'mo'za hu'naza nanekemo'a tmagritera fore osino.

41 Khangelani, zideleli, njalo limangale, litshabalale; ngoba mina ngenza umsebenzi ensukwini zenu, umsebenzi elingasoze lawukholwa, nxa umuntu elilandisela.

Kiza zokago kema nehaza vahe'tmina, keho! Tamano nevazinketma antri hutma fritma haviza hugahaze! Nagra knare eri'za enerugetma tamentinti'a nosaze. Vahe'mo'ma tamasmi'nigeta tamentintia osugahaze, huno kre'ne. (Hava 1:5.)

42 Kwathi ekuphumeni kwamaJuda esinagogeni, abezizwe bacela ukuthi lamazwi akhulunywe kubo ngesabatha elilandelayo.

Anage huteke Poli'ene Banabasike atineramike'za, vahe'mo'za ama ana nanekea ru mani fruhu kna (sabat) zupa knare eme tasmigaha'o, hu'za zanasmi'naze.

43 Kwathi abesinagoge sebephumile, abanengi kumaJuda labakhonzayo abaphendukela kumaJuda balandela uPawuli loBarnabasi; abakhuluma labo, bebancenga ukuthi bahlale emuseni kaNkulunkulu.

Mono'ma osi mono nompi (sinagog) huvagarete'za, vu'za e'za nehazage'za, rama'a Jiu vahe'mo'zane, Anumzanku koro nehaza megi'a vahe'mo'za, Poline Banabasi kizani zanavriri'za nevzage'ne, zamazeri hanaveti ke hu'ne, Anumzamofo asunku'zampina hanavetita maniho hu'ne ana vahera zamasmi'na'e.

44 Kwathi ngesabatha elilandelayo babuthana kwaphose kwaba ngumuzi wonke ukuzwa ilizwi likaNkulunkulu.

Hanki anante mani fruhu kna (Sabat) zupa, ran kumapi mani'naza vahe'mo'za kuma azute'za Ramofo ke antahinaku emeritru hu'naze.

45 Kodwa amaJuda ebona amaxuku agcwaliswa ngomona, aphikisa izinto ezakhulunywa nguPawuli, ephikisa njalo ehlambaza.

Mika vahe eritru nehazage'za Jiu mono vahe'mo'za nezmage'za kanive reneznantageno, Poli'ma hiankegura mago zamarimpa huoznante'za, ana vahe'mo'za ha' reznante'naze.

46 Kodwa uPawuli loBarnabasi bekhuluma ngesibindi bathi: Kwakudingeka ukuthi ilizwi likaNkulunkulu likhulunywe kini kuqala; kodwa njengoba lilinina, njalo lizigweba ukuthi alifanelanga impilo elaphakade, khangelani, siphendukela kwabezizwe. (aiōnios g166)

Poli'ene Banabasi'kea hanavetike koro osu anage hu'na'e, Esera Jiu vahe'motma Anumzamofo nanekea tamasmi'nonanagi, tamagra tamefi ana kea hunemitma fatgoma hutma mani'netma manivava asimu erizankura tame'nosigu, megi'a vahete tagra rukarehe nehu'e. (aiōnios g166)

47 Ngoba iNkosi isilayile ngokunjalo yathi: Ngikumisile ube yikukhanya kwabezizwe, ube ngowosindiso kuze kube semkhawulweni womhlaba.

Ramo'a amanage huno hanavege hurante'ne, Nagra huhampri kantoankinka, kagra megi'a vahera tavi zami mani'nenka, kumipinti zamazahu kea erinka mopa atupare uhanatigahane huno tasami'ne. (Ais 42:6, 49:6)

48 Kwathi abezizwe bekuzwa bathokoza, basebelidumisa ilizwi leNkosi, basebekholwa bonke ababemiselwe impilo elaphakade; (aiōnios g166)

Megi'a vahe'mo'za ana naneke nentahi'za muse nehu'za, Ramofo kegura tusi'za hu'za musenkase nehazageno, manivava zamasimu erigahaze huno huhampri zamante'nea vahe'mo'za zamentinti hu'naze. (aiōnios g166)

49 lelizwi leNkosi lasatshalaliswa elizweni lonke.

Ana hazageno Ramofo kemo'a ana mopa kaziga zamukino vuno eno hu'ne.

50 Kodwa amaJuda avusa abesifazana abakhonzayo abadumileyo lezikhulu zomuzi, avusela uPawuli loBarnabasi ukuzingelwa, abaxotsha emikhawulweni yawo.

Hu'neanagi Jiu vahe'mo'za, Anumzamofonku koro nehu'za zamagi me'nea a'nene, zamagi me'nea vene'nene zamarimpare ke hu'za zamazeri otizage'za, Poline Banabasi kiznia, ana mopa kazigatira zamahe anati tre'naze.

51 Kodwa babathintithela uthuli lwenyawo zabo, bafika eIkoniyuma.

Zanahe anatizageke zanagiareti kugusopa rupopo hutra'azamo'a, huzmerino e'izama hazazamo'a knare osiaza hazankino knazamo'a tamagripi megahie nehuke, Ikoniamu atreke vu'na'e.

52 Njalo abafundi bagcwaliswa ngentokozo loMoya oNgcwele.

Hu'neanagi Antioku kumate'ma zamentinti nehu'za Ramofo amage nentaza nagapina musezamo'ene Ruotge Avamu'mo'a avite'ne.
