Imisebenzi 13
1 Kwakukhona eAntiyoki ebandleni lapho abaprofethi labafundisi abathile, uBarnabasi kanye loSimeyoni othiwa nguNigeri, loLukiyu umKurene, loManayeni owayondliwe kanye loHerodi umtetrarki, loSawuli.
aparañca barṇabbāḥ, śimon yaṁ nigraṁ vadanti, kurīnīyalūkiyo herodā rājñā saha kṛtavidyābhyāso minahem, śaulaścaite ye kiyanto janā bhaviṣyadvādina upadeṣṭāraścāntiyakhiyānagarasthamaṇḍalyām āsan,
2 Kwathi bekhonza iNkosi bezila ukudla, uMoya oyiNgcwele wathi: Ngehlukaniselani oBarnabasi kanye loSawuli emsebenzini engibabizele wona.
te yadopavāsaṁ kṛtveśvaram asevanta tasmin samaye pavitra ātmā kathitavān ahaṁ yasmin karmmaṇi barṇabbāśailau niyuktavān tatkarmma karttuṁ tau pṛthak kuruta|
3 Sebezile ukudla bakhuleka babeka izandla phezu kwabo, babathuma.
tatastairupavāsaprārthanayoḥ kṛtayoḥ satoste tayo rgātrayo rhastārpaṇaṁ kṛtvā tau vyasṛjan|
4 Bona-ke sebethunyiwe nguMoya oyiNgcwele, behlela eSelukiya, basuka lapho baya eKuprosi ngomkhumbi.
tataḥ paraṁ tau pavitreṇātmanā preritau santau silūkiyānagaram upasthāya samudrapathena kupropadvīpam agacchatāṁ|
5 Kwathi sebefikile eSalamisi, batshumayela ilizwi likaNkulunkulu emasinagogeni amaJuda; njalo babeloJohane umsizi.
tataḥ sālāmīnagaram upasthāya tatra yihūdīyānāṁ bhajanabhavanāni gatveśvarasya kathāṁ prācārayatāṁ; yohanapi tatsahacaro'bhavat|
6 Kwathi sebedabule isihlenge bafika ePhafosi, bafica isanuse esithile, umprofethi wamanga, umJuda, obizo lakhe nguBarjesu,
itthaṁ te tasyopadvīpasya sarvvatra bhramantaḥ pāphanagaram upasthitāḥ; tatra suvivecakena sarjiyapaulanāmnā taddeśādhipatinā saha bhaviṣyadvādino veśadhārī baryīśunāmā yo māyāvī yihūdī āsīt taṁ sākṣāt prāptavataḥ|
7 owayelombusi uSergiyu Pawuli, indoda ehlakaniphileyo. Lo wabizela kuye uBarnabasi loSawuli edinga ukuzwa ilizwi likaNkulunkulu.
taddeśādhipa īśvarasya kathāṁ śrotuṁ vāñchan paulabarṇabbau nyamantrayat|
8 Kodwa isanuse, uElimasi, ngoba liphendulelwa njalo ibizo lakhe, waphikisana labo, edinga ukuphambula umbusi ekholweni.
kintvilumā yaṁ māyāvinaṁ vadanti sa deśādhipatiṁ dharmmamārgād bahirbhūtaṁ karttum ayatata|
9 Kodwa uSawuli, onguPawuli futhi, egcwele uMoya oNgcwele, njalo emjolozela
tasmāt śolo'rthāt paulaḥ pavitreṇātmanā paripūrṇaḥ san taṁ māyāvinaṁ pratyananyadṛṣṭiṁ kṛtvākathayat,
10 wathi: O wena ogcwele inkohliso yonke lobuqili bonke, ndodana kadiyabhola, sitha sakho konke ukulunga, kawuyekeli ukuphambula indlela eziqondileyo zeNkosi yini?
he narakin dharmmadveṣin kauṭilyaduṣkarmmaparipūrṇa, tvaṁ kiṁ prabhoḥ satyapathasya viparyyayakaraṇāt kadāpi na nivarttiṣyase?
11 Njalo khathesi khangela, isandla seNkosi siphezu kwakho, njalo uzakuba yisiphofu, ungaliboni ilanga okwesikhathi. Kwahle kwamehlela ukufiphala lobumnyama, wahamba ebhoda edinga abazamdonsa ngesandla.
adhunā parameśvarastava samucitaṁ kariṣyati tena katipayadināni tvam andhaḥ san sūryyamapi na drakṣyasi| tatkṣaṇād rātrivad andhakārastasya dṛṣṭim ācchāditavān; tasmāt tasya hastaṁ dharttuṁ sa lokamanvicchan itastato bhramaṇaṁ kṛtavān|
12 Ngalesosikhathi umbusi wabona okwenziweyo wakholwa, edidwa yimfundiso yeNkosi.
enāṁ ghaṭanāṁ dṛṣṭvā sa deśādhipatiḥ prabhūpadeśād vismitya viśvāsaṁ kṛtavān|
13 UPawuli lababelaye basebesuka ngomkhumbi ePhafosi bafika ePerga esePamfiliya. Kodwa uJohane wehlukana labo wabuyela eJerusalema.
tadanantaraṁ paulastatsaṅginau ca pāphanagarāt protaṁ cālayitvā pamphuliyādeśasya pargīnagaram agacchan kintu yohan tayoḥ samīpād etya yirūśālamaṁ pratyāgacchat|
14 Kodwa bona bedabula besuka ePerga, bafika eAntiyoki esePisidiya; ngosuku lwesabatha basebengena esinagogeni, bahlala phansi.
paścāt tau pargīto yātrāṁ kṛtvā pisidiyādeśasya āntiyakhiyānagaram upasthāya viśrāmavāre bhajanabhavanaṁ praviśya samupāviśatāṁ|
15 Kwathi sekufundwe umlayo labaprofethi, abaphathi besinagoge bathumela kubo, besithi: Madoda bazalwane, uba kulelizwi phakathi kwenu lenkuthazo ebantwini, khulumani.
vyavasthābhaviṣyadvākyayoḥ paṭhitayoḥ sato rhe bhrātarau lokān prati yuvayoḥ kācid upadeśakathā yadyasti tarhi tāṁ vadataṁ tau prati tasya bhajanabhavanasyādhipatayaḥ kathām etāṁ kathayitvā praiṣayan|
16 Kwathi uPawuli esukuma, njalo eqhweba ngesandla, wathi: Madoda maIsrayeli, lani elesaba uNkulunkulu, lalelani.
ataḥ paula uttiṣṭhan hastena saṅketaṁ kurvvan kathitavān he isrāyelīyamanuṣyā īśvaraparāyaṇāḥ sarvve lokā yūyam avadhaddhaṁ|
17 UNkulunkulu walesisizwe sakoIsrayeli wakhetha obaba bethu, wabaphakamisa abantu bengabemzini elizweni leGibhithe, wabakhupha kulo ngengalo ephakemeyo.
eteṣāmisrāyellokānām īśvaro'smākaṁ pūrvvaparuṣān manonītān katvā gṛhītavān tato misari deśe pravasanakāle teṣāmunnatiṁ kṛtvā tasmāt svīyabāhubalena tān bahiḥ kṛtvā samānayat|
18 Wasebekezelela isimilo sabo okungaba yisikhathi seminyaka engamatshumi amane enkangala.
catvāriṁśadvatsarān yāvacca mahāprāntare teṣāṁ bharaṇaṁ kṛtvā
19 Njalo esechithile izizwe eziyisikhombisa elizweni leKhanani, wabehlukanisela ilizwe labo ngenkatho.
kināndeśāntarvvarttīṇi saptarājyāni nāśayitvā guṭikāpātena teṣu sarvvadeśeṣu tebhyo'dhikāraṁ dattavān|
20 Lemva kwalezizinto, okungaba ngokweminyaka engamakhulu amane lamatshumi amahlanu, wabanika abahluleli kwaze kwaba nguSamuweli umprofethi.
pañcāśadadhikacatuḥśateṣu vatsareṣu gateṣu ca śimūyelbhaviṣyadvādiparyyantaṁ teṣāmupari vicārayitṛn niyuktavān|
21 Njalo kusukela lapho bacela inkosi; uNkulunkulu wasebanika uSawuli indodana kaKishi, indoda yesizwe sakoBhenjamini, okweminyaka engamatshumi amane.
taiśca rājñi prārthite, īśvaro binyāmīno vaṁśajātasya kīśaḥ putraṁ śaulaṁ catvāriṁśadvarṣaparyyantaṁ teṣāmupari rājānaṁ kṛtavān|
22 Njalo esemkhuphile, wabavusela uDavida waba yinkosi, afakaza langaye ngokuthi: Ngimtholile uDavida kaJese, indoda ngokwenhliziyo yami, ezakwenza intando yami yonke.
paścāt taṁ padacyutaṁ kṛtvā yo madiṣṭakriyāḥ sarvvāḥ kariṣyati tādṛśaṁ mama manobhimatam ekaṁ janaṁ yiśayaḥ putraṁ dāyūdaṁ prāptavān idaṁ pramāṇaṁ yasmin dāyūdi sa dattavān taṁ dāyūdaṁ teṣāmupari rājatvaṁ karttum utpāditavāna|
23 Enzalweni yalumuntu njengesithembiso, uNkulunkulu uvusele uIsrayeli uMsindisi uJesu;
tasya svapratiśrutasya vākyasyānusāreṇa isrāyellokānāṁ nimittaṁ teṣāṁ manuṣyāṇāṁ vaṁśād īśvara ekaṁ yīśuṁ (trātāram) udapādayat|
24 engakafiki yena uJohane wayesetshumayele kuqala ubhabhathizo lokuphenduka kubo bonke abantu bakoIsrayeli.
tasya prakāśanāt pūrvvaṁ yohan isrāyellokānāṁ sannidhau manaḥparāvarttanarūpaṁ majjanaṁ prācārayat|
25 UJohane esegcwalise uhambo lwakhe, wathi: Licabanga ukuthi ngingubani? Kangisuye mina; kodwa khangelani, emva kwami uyeza, engingafanelanga ukukhulula amanyathela enyawo zakhe.
yasya ca karmmaṇo bhāraṁ praptavān yohan tan niṣpādayan etāṁ kathāṁ kathitavān, yūyaṁ māṁ kaṁ janaṁ jānītha? aham abhiṣiktatrātā nahi, kintu paśyata yasya pādayoḥ pādukayo rbandhane mocayitumapi yogyo na bhavāmi tādṛśa eko jano mama paścād upatiṣṭhati|
26 Madoda bazalwane, bantwana bohlanga lukaAbrahama, lalabo phakathi kwenu abesaba uNkulunkulu, lithunyelwe kini ilizwi lalolusindiso.
he ibrāhīmo vaṁśajātā bhrātaro he īśvarabhītāḥ sarvvalokā yuṣmān prati paritrāṇasya kathaiṣā preritā|
27 Ngoba labo abahlala eJerusalema lababusi babo kabamazanga lo, bawagcwalisa lamazwi abaprofethi afundwayo isabatha ngesabatha, ngokumlahla;
yirūśālamnivāsinasteṣām adhipatayaśca tasya yīśoḥ paricayaṁ na prāpya prativiśrāmavāraṁ paṭhyamānānāṁ bhaviṣyadvādikathānām abhiprāyam abuddhvā ca tasya vadhena tāḥ kathāḥ saphalā akurvvan|
28 njalo bengatholi lacala lokufa, bacela kuPilatu ukuthi abulawe.
prāṇahananasya kamapi hetum aprāpyāpi pīlātasya nikaṭe tasya vadhaṁ prārthayanta|
29 Kwathi sebeqedile konke okulotshiweyo ngaye, bamethula esihlahleni, bamlalisa engcwabeni.
tasmin yāḥ kathā likhitāḥ santi tadanusāreṇa karmma sampādya taṁ kruśād avatāryya śmaśāne śāyitavantaḥ|
30 Kodwa uNkulunkulu wamvusa kwabafileyo;
kintvīśvaraḥ śmaśānāt tamudasthāpayat,
31 owabonwa insuku ezinengi yilabo ababenyukele laye ukuya eJerusalema besuka eGalili, abangabafakazi bakhe ebantwini.
punaśca gālīlapradeśād yirūśālamanagaraṁ tena sārddhaṁ ye lokā āgacchan sa bahudināni tebhyo darśanaṁ dattavān, atasta idānīṁ lokān prati tasya sākṣiṇaḥ santi|
32 Lathi sitshumayela indaba ezinhle kini zesithembiso esenziwa kubobaba,
asmākaṁ pūrvvapuruṣāṇāṁ samakṣam īśvaro yasmin pratijñātavān yathā, tvaṁ me putrosi cādya tvāṁ samutthāpitavānaham|
33 ukuthi uNkulunkulu usigcwalisile sona kithi, abantwana babo, emvusile uJesu, njengoba kulotshiwe futhi kusihlabelelo sesibili ukuthi: Wena uyiNdodana yami, lamuhla mina ngikuzele.
idaṁ yadvacanaṁ dvitīyagīte likhitamāste tad yīśorutthānena teṣāṁ santānā ye vayam asmākaṁ sannidhau tena pratyakṣī kṛtaṁ, yuṣmān imaṁ susaṁvādaṁ jñāpayāmi|
34 Njalo ngokuthi wamvusa kwabafileyo, engasayikubuyela ekuboleni, wakhuluma kanje wathi: Ngizalinika izibusiso ezingcwele lezithembekileyo zikaDavida.
parameśvareṇa śmaśānād utthāpitaṁ tadīyaṁ śarīraṁ kadāpi na kṣeṣyate, etasmin sa svayaṁ kathitavān yathā dāyūdaṁ prati pratijñāto yo varastamahaṁ tubhyaṁ dāsyāmi|
35 Ngakho njalo kwenye indawo uthi: Kawuyikunikela oNgcwele wakho abone ukubola.
etadanyasmin gīte'pi kathitavān| svakīyaṁ puṇyavantaṁ tvaṁ kṣayituṁ na ca dāsyasi|
36 Ngoba uDavida, esekhonze esakhe isizukulwana ngecebo likaNkulunkulu walala, njalo walaliswa laboyise, wabona ukubola;
dāyūdā īśvarābhimatasevāyai nijāyuṣi vyayite sati sa mahānidrāṁ prāpya nijaiḥ pūrvvapuruṣaiḥ saha militaḥ san akṣīyata;
37 kodwa lowo uNkulunkulu amvusayo, kakubonanga ukubola.
kintu yamīśvaraḥ śmaśānād udasthāpayat sa nākṣīyata|
38 Ngakho kakwaziwe yini, madoda bazalwane, ukuthi ngalowo kutshunyayelwa kini uthethelelo lwezono;
ato he bhrātaraḥ, anena janena pāpamocanaṁ bhavatīti yuṣmān prati pracāritam āste|
39 njalo kulo wonke okholwayo uyalungisiswa kukho konke ebelingelungisiswe kukho ngomlayo kaMozisi.
phalato mūsāvyavasthayā yūyaṁ yebhyo doṣebhyo muktā bhavituṁ na śakṣyatha tebhyaḥ sarvvadoṣebhya etasmin jane viśvāsinaḥ sarvve muktā bhaviṣyantīti yuṣmābhi rjñāyatāṁ|
40 Ngakho qaphelani ukuthi kalehlelwa yilokhu okwakhulunywa kubaprofethi, okokuthi:
aparañca| avajñākāriṇo lokāścakṣurunmīlya paśyata| tathaivāsambhavaṁ jñātvā syāta yūyaṁ vilajjitāḥ| yato yuṣmāsu tiṣṭhatsu kariṣye karmma tādṛśaṁ| yenaiva tasya vṛttānte yuṣmabhyaṁ kathite'pi hi| yūyaṁ na tantu vṛttāntaṁ pratyeṣyatha kadācana||
41 Khangelani, zideleli, njalo limangale, litshabalale; ngoba mina ngenza umsebenzi ensukwini zenu, umsebenzi elingasoze lawukholwa, nxa umuntu elilandisela.
yeyaṁ kathā bhaviṣyadvādināṁ grantheṣu likhitāste sāvadhānā bhavata sa kathā yathā yuṣmān prati na ghaṭate|
42 Kwathi ekuphumeni kwamaJuda esinagogeni, abezizwe bacela ukuthi lamazwi akhulunywe kubo ngesabatha elilandelayo.
yihūdīyabhajanabhavanān nirgatayostayo rbhinnadeśīyai rvakṣyamāṇā prārthanā kṛtā, āgāmini viśrāmavāre'pi katheyam asmān prati pracāritā bhavatviti|
43 Kwathi abesinagoge sebephumile, abanengi kumaJuda labakhonzayo abaphendukela kumaJuda balandela uPawuli loBarnabasi; abakhuluma labo, bebancenga ukuthi bahlale emuseni kaNkulunkulu.
sabhāyā bhaṅge sati bahavo yihūdīyalokā yihūdīyamatagrāhiṇo bhaktalokāśca barṇabbāpaulayoḥ paścād āgacchan, tena tau taiḥ saha nānākathāḥ kathayitveśvarānugrahāśraye sthātuṁ tān prāvarttayatāṁ|
44 Kwathi ngesabatha elilandelayo babuthana kwaphose kwaba ngumuzi wonke ukuzwa ilizwi likaNkulunkulu.
paraviśrāmavāre nagarasya prāyeṇa sarvve lākā īśvarīyāṁ kathāṁ śrotuṁ militāḥ,
45 Kodwa amaJuda ebona amaxuku agcwaliswa ngomona, aphikisa izinto ezakhulunywa nguPawuli, ephikisa njalo ehlambaza.
kintu yihūdīyalokā jananivahaṁ vilokya īrṣyayā paripūrṇāḥ santo viparītakathākathaneneśvaranindayā ca paulenoktāṁ kathāṁ khaṇḍayituṁ ceṣṭitavantaḥ|
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)
tataḥ paulabarṇabbāvakṣobhau kathitavantau prathamaṁ yuṣmākaṁ sannidhāvīśvarīyakathāyāḥ pracāraṇam ucitamāsīt kintuṁ tadagrāhyatvakaraṇena yūyaṁ svān anantāyuṣo'yogyān darśayatha, etatkāraṇād vayam anyadeśīyalokānāṁ samīpaṁ gacchāmaḥ| (aiōnios g166)
47 Ngoba iNkosi isilayile ngokunjalo yathi: Ngikumisile ube yikukhanya kwabezizwe, ube ngowosindiso kuze kube semkhawulweni womhlaba.
prabhurasmān ittham ādiṣṭavān yathā, yāvacca jagataḥ sīmāṁ lokānāṁ trāṇakāraṇāt| mayānyadeśamadhye tvaṁ sthāpito bhūḥ pradīpavat||
48 Kwathi abezizwe bekuzwa bathokoza, basebelidumisa ilizwi leNkosi, basebekholwa bonke ababemiselwe impilo elaphakade; (aiōnios g166)
tadā kathāmīdṛśīṁ śrutvā bhinnadeśīyā āhlāditāḥ santaḥ prabhoḥ kathāṁ dhanyāṁ dhanyām avadan, yāvanto lokāśca paramāyuḥ prāptinimittaṁ nirūpitā āsan te vyaśvasan| (aiōnios g166)
49 lelizwi leNkosi lasatshalaliswa elizweni lonke.
itthaṁ prabhoḥ kathā sarvvedeśaṁ vyāpnot|
50 Kodwa amaJuda avusa abesifazana abakhonzayo abadumileyo lezikhulu zomuzi, avusela uPawuli loBarnabasi ukuzingelwa, abaxotsha emikhawulweni yawo.
kintu yihūdīyā nagarasya pradhānapuruṣān sammānyāḥ kathipayā bhaktā yoṣitaśca kupravṛttiṁ grāhayitvā paulabarṇabbau tāḍayitvā tasmāt pradeśād dūrīkṛtavantaḥ|
51 Kodwa babathintithela uthuli lwenyawo zabo, bafika eIkoniyuma.
ataḥ kāraṇāt tau nijapadadhūlīsteṣāṁ prātikūlyena pātayitvekaniyaṁ nagaraṁ gatau|
52 Njalo abafundi bagcwaliswa ngentokozo loMoya oNgcwele.
tataḥ śiṣyagaṇa ānandena pavitreṇātmanā ca paripūrṇobhavat|
