Imisebenzi 13
1 Kwakukhona eAntiyoki ebandleni lapho abaprofethi labafundisi abathile, uBarnabasi kanye loSimeyoni othiwa nguNigeri, loLukiyu umKurene, loManayeni owayondliwe kanye loHerodi umtetrarki, loSawuli.
Pea naʻe ʻi he siasi ʻi ʻAniteoke ʻae niʻihi ko e kau palōfita mo e akonaki; ko Pānepasa, mo Simione ʻoku ui ko Nika, mo Lusio mei Sailine, mo Maneno, ʻaia naʻa na nonofo mo Helota ko e tuʻi, pea mo Saula.
2 Kwathi bekhonza iNkosi bezila ukudla, uMoya oyiNgcwele wathi: Ngehlukaniselani oBarnabasi kanye loSawuli emsebenzini engibabizele wona.
Pea lolotonga ʻenau ngāue ki he ʻEiki, mo ʻaukai, naʻe pehē ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, “Vavahe mai maʻaku ʻa Pānepasa mo Saula ki he ngāue kuo u fili ʻakinaua ki ai.”
3 Sebezile ukudla bakhuleka babeka izandla phezu kwabo, babathuma.
Pea kuo nau ʻaukai mo lotu, pea nau hili honau nima kiate kinaua, ʻo tuku ke na ō.
4 Bona-ke sebethunyiwe nguMoya oyiNgcwele, behlela eSelukiya, basuka lapho baya eKuprosi ngomkhumbi.
Pea kuo fekau ʻakinaua ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, naʻa na ō ki Selusia; pea folau mei ai ki Saipalo.
5 Kwathi sebefikile eSalamisi, batshumayela ilizwi likaNkulunkulu emasinagogeni amaJuda; njalo babeloJohane umsizi.
Pea ʻi heʻena ʻi Salamisi, naʻa na malangaʻaki ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua ʻi he ngaahi falelotu ʻoe kakai Siu: pea naʻe ʻiate kinaua foki ʻa Sione ko [hona ]tauhi.
6 Kwathi sebedabule isihlenge bafika ePhafosi, bafica isanuse esithile, umprofethi wamanga, umJuda, obizo lakhe nguBarjesu,
Pea kuo ʻosi ʻae motu ʻi heʻenau ʻalu, pea nau aʻu ki Pafosi, ʻonau ʻilo ai ʻae fie mana ʻe tokotaha, ko e palōfita loi, ko e Siu, naʻe hingoa ko Pāsisu:
7 owayelombusi uSergiyu Pawuli, indoda ehlakaniphileyo. Lo wabizela kuye uBarnabasi loSawuli edinga ukuzwa ilizwi likaNkulunkulu.
Naʻe nonofo ia mo e pule ʻoe fonua, ko Sesio-Paula, ko e tangata poto; pea naʻe ui mai ʻe ia kia Pānepasa mo Saula, ko ʻene fie fanongo ki he folofola ʻae ʻOtua.
8 Kodwa isanuse, uElimasi, ngoba liphendulelwa njalo ibizo lakhe, waphikisana labo, edinga ukuphambula umbusi ekholweni.
Ka naʻe fakatanga ʻakinaua ʻe he fie mana ko ʻElima, (he ko hono ʻuhinga ia ʻo hono hingoa, ) ʻo ne ʻahiʻahi ke taʻofi ʻae pule ke ʻoua naʻa tui ia.
9 Kodwa uSawuli, onguPawuli futhi, egcwele uMoya oNgcwele, njalo emjolozela
Pea naʻe fonu ʻa Saula, (ʻa ia foki ko Paula, ) ʻi he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, pea ne sio fakamamaʻu kiate ia,
10 wathi: O wena ogcwele inkohliso yonke lobuqili bonke, ndodana kadiyabhola, sitha sakho konke ukulunga, kawuyekeli ukuphambula indlela eziqondileyo zeNkosi yini?
Mo ne pehē, “ʻA koe, ʻoku ke fonu ʻi he kākā kotoa pē mo e pauʻu kotoa pē, ko e foha ʻoe tēvolo, ko e fili ʻoe māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē, ʻe ʻikai te ke tuku hoʻo fakakoviʻi ʻae ngaahi hala totonu ʻoe ʻEiki?
11 Njalo khathesi khangela, isandla seNkosi siphezu kwakho, njalo uzakuba yisiphofu, ungaliboni ilanga okwesikhathi. Kwahle kwamehlela ukufiphala lobumnyama, wahamba ebhoda edinga abazamdonsa ngesandla.
Pea ko eni, vakai, kuo ʻiate koe ʻae nima ʻoe ʻEiki, pea te ke kui, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke mamata ki he laʻā ʻo fuoloa.” Pea tō leva kiate ia ʻae nenefu mo e fakapoʻuli; pea ne tautaufā ʻo kumi ha taha ke ne tataki ia ʻi hono nima.
12 Ngalesosikhathi umbusi wabona okwenziweyo wakholwa, edidwa yimfundiso yeNkosi.
Pea kuo mamata ʻe he pule ki he meʻa kuo fai, pea tui ia, he kuo ofo ʻi he akonaki ʻae ʻEiki.
13 UPawuli lababelaye basebesuka ngomkhumbi ePhafosi bafika ePerga esePamfiliya. Kodwa uJohane wehlukana labo wabuyela eJerusalema.
Pea kuo ʻalu ʻa Paula mo hono kau fononga ʻi Pafosi, naʻa nau aʻu ki Peaka ʻi Pamifilia: pea liʻaki ʻakinaua ʻe Sione, kae foki ia ki Selūsalema.
14 Kodwa bona bedabula besuka ePerga, bafika eAntiyoki esePisidiya; ngosuku lwesabatha basebengena esinagogeni, bahlala phansi.
Pea kuo na ō ʻi Peaka, pea na aʻu ki ʻAniteoke ʻi Pisitia, pea hū ki he falelotu ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate, ʻo nofo hifo.
15 Kwathi sekufundwe umlayo labaprofethi, abaphathi besinagoge bathumela kubo, besithi: Madoda bazalwane, uba kulelizwi phakathi kwenu lenkuthazo ebantwini, khulumani.
Pea hili ʻae lau ʻoe fono mo e kau palōfita, naʻe fakahā ʻe he kau pule ʻoe falelotu kiate kinaua, ʻo pehē, “Ongo tangata ko e kāinga, kapau ʻoku ʻiate kimoua ha akonaki maʻae kakai, ke mo lea.”
16 Kwathi uPawuli esukuma, njalo eqhweba ngesandla, wathi: Madoda maIsrayeli, lani elesaba uNkulunkulu, lalelani.
Pea tuʻu hake ʻa Paula, ʻo kamo ʻaki hono nima, mo ne pehē, “ʻAe kakai ʻIsileli, mo kimoutolu ʻoku manavahē ki he ʻOtua, tokanga mai.
17 UNkulunkulu walesisizwe sakoIsrayeli wakhetha obaba bethu, wabaphakamisa abantu bengabemzini elizweni leGibhithe, wabakhupha kulo ngengalo ephakemeyo.
Ko e ʻOtua ʻoe kakai ʻIsileli ni, naʻa ne fili ʻetau ngaahi tamai, pea ne hakeakiʻi ʻae kakai ʻi he nofo ʻāunofo ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, pea ne ʻomi ʻakinautolu mei ai ʻaki ʻae nima kuo mafao.
18 Wasebekezelela isimilo sabo okungaba yisikhathi seminyaka engamatshumi amane enkangala.
Pea naʻa ne kātaki ʻenau anga ʻi he toafa ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu nai.
19 Njalo esechithile izizwe eziyisikhombisa elizweni leKhanani, wabehlukanisela ilizwe labo ngenkatho.
Pea ʻi he fakaʻauha ʻe ia ʻae puleʻanga ʻe fitu ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani, naʻa ne tufaki honau fonua kiate kinautolu ʻi he talotalo.
20 Lemva kwalezizinto, okungaba ngokweminyaka engamakhulu amane lamatshumi amahlanu, wabanika abahluleli kwaze kwaba nguSamuweli umprofethi.
Pea hili ia, naʻe foaki ʻae kau fakamaau ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngeau mo e nimangofulu nai, ʻo aʻu kia Samuela ko e palōfita.
21 Njalo kusukela lapho bacela inkosi; uNkulunkulu wasebanika uSawuli indodana kaKishi, indoda yesizwe sakoBhenjamini, okweminyaka engamatshumi amane.
“Pea hili ia, naʻa nau holi ki ha tuʻi pea naʻe tuku ʻe he ʻOtua kiate kinautolu, ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu, ʻa Saula ko e foha ʻo Kisi, ko e tangata ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Penisimani.
22 Njalo esemkhuphile, wabavusela uDavida waba yinkosi, afakaza langaye ngokuthi: Ngimtholile uDavida kaJese, indoda ngokwenhliziyo yami, ezakwenza intando yami yonke.
Pea kuo ne liua ia, pea ne fokotuʻu ʻa Tevita ko honau tuʻi; ʻaia naʻa ne fakamoʻoni ai, ʻo pehē, ‘Kuo u ʻilo ʻa Tevita ko e foha ʻo Sese, ko e tangata tatau mo hoku loto, pea ʻe fai ʻe ia ʻa hoku loto kotoa pē.’
23 Enzalweni yalumuntu njengesithembiso, uNkulunkulu uvusele uIsrayeli uMsindisi uJesu;
Pea kuo fokotuʻu ki ʻIsileli ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi he hako ʻoe tangata ni ʻae Fakamoʻui ko Sisu, ʻo hangē ko e talaʻofa:
24 engakafiki yena uJohane wayesetshumayele kuqala ubhabhathizo lokuphenduka kubo bonke abantu bakoIsrayeli.
Ka naʻe fuofua malangaʻaki ʻe Sione ʻae papitaiso ʻoe fakatomala, ki he kakai kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻi he teʻeki ai haʻu ia.
25 UJohane esegcwalise uhambo lwakhe, wathi: Licabanga ukuthi ngingubani? Kangisuye mina; kodwa khangelani, emva kwami uyeza, engingafanelanga ukukhulula amanyathela enyawo zakhe.
Pea ʻi he fakaʻosi ʻe Sione ʻene lakanga, naʻa ne pehē, ‘ʻOku mou pehē ko hai au? ʻOku ʻikai ko ia au. Kae vakai, ʻoku muimui mai ʻae tokotaha ʻiate au, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai taau mo au ke u vete ʻae topuvaʻe mei hono vaʻe.’
26 Madoda bazalwane, bantwana bohlanga lukaAbrahama, lalabo phakathi kwenu abesaba uNkulunkulu, lithunyelwe kini ilizwi lalolusindiso.
“ʻAe kau tangata ko e kāinga, ko e fānau ʻae hako ʻo ʻEpalahame, mo ia fulipē ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku manavahē ki he ʻOtua, kuo fekau mai kiate kimoutolu ʻae tala ʻoe fakamoʻui ni.
27 Ngoba labo abahlala eJerusalema lababusi babo kabamazanga lo, bawagcwalisa lamazwi abaprofethi afundwayo isabatha ngesabatha, ngokumlahla;
He ko kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi Selūsalema, mo honau kau pule, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau taʻeʻilo ia, mo e leʻo ʻoe kau palōfita ʻoku lau ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate kotoa pē, kuo nau fakamoʻoni ia ʻi he fakamaauʻi ke mate.
28 njalo bengatholi lacala lokufa, bacela kuPilatu ukuthi abulawe.
Pea neongo ʻae ʻikai pe te nau ʻilo ha meʻa ke mate ai ia, ka naʻa nau kole kia Pailato ʻa hono tāmateʻi.
29 Kwathi sebeqedile konke okulotshiweyo ngaye, bamethula esihlahleni, bamlalisa engcwabeni.
Pea hili ʻenau fakamoʻoni ʻaia kotoa pē kuo tohi kiate ia, naʻa nau vete hifo ia mei he ʻakau, ʻo tuku ki he fonualoto.
30 Kodwa uNkulunkulu wamvusa kwabafileyo;
Ka naʻe fokotuʻu ia ʻe he ʻOtua mei he mate:
31 owabonwa insuku ezinengi yilabo ababenyukele laye ukuya eJerusalema besuka eGalili, abangabafakazi bakhe ebantwini.
Pea naʻe mamata kiate ia ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho lahi ʻakinautolu naʻe omi mo ia mei Kāleli ki Selūsalema, ʻaia ko ʻene kau fakamoʻoni ki he kakai.
32 Lathi sitshumayela indaba ezinhle kini zesithembiso esenziwa kubobaba,
Pea ʻoku ma fakahā kiate kimoutolu ʻae ongoongolelei, koeʻuhi ʻi he talaʻofa naʻe tuku ki he ngaahi tamai,
33 ukuthi uNkulunkulu usigcwalisile sona kithi, abantwana babo, emvusile uJesu, njengoba kulotshiwe futhi kusihlabelelo sesibili ukuthi: Wena uyiNdodana yami, lamuhla mina ngikuzele.
Ko ia kuo fakamoʻoni ʻe he ʻOtua kiate kitautolu ko ʻenau fānau, ʻi heʻene toe fokotuʻu ʻa Sisu; ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi ʻi hono ua ʻoe Saame, ‘Ko hoku ʻAlo koe, kuo u fakatupu koe he ʻaho ni.
34 Njalo ngokuthi wamvusa kwabafileyo, engasayikubuyela ekuboleni, wakhuluma kanje wathi: Ngizalinika izibusiso ezingcwele lezithembekileyo zikaDavida.
Pea koeʻuhi ko ʻene fokotuʻu ia mei he pekia, ke ʻoua naʻa toe foki ki he ʻauʻauha, naʻa ne lea pehē, ‘Te u tuku kiate kimoutolu ʻae ngaahi meʻaʻofa moʻoni ʻa Tevita.’
35 Ngakho njalo kwenye indawo uthi: Kawuyikunikela oNgcwele wakho abone ukubola.
Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai foki ʻe ia ʻi he [Saame ]ʻe taha, ‘ʻE ʻikai te ke tuku ʻa hoʻo tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ke ʻilo ʻae ʻauʻauha.’
36 Ngoba uDavida, esekhonze esakhe isizukulwana ngecebo likaNkulunkulu walala, njalo walaliswa laboyise, wabona ukubola;
He kuo hili ʻae fai ʻe Tevita ʻi hono kuonga ki he finangalo ʻoe ʻOtua, ne mohe ia, pea tanu ia mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea ʻilo ʻe ia ʻae ʻauʻauha:
37 kodwa lowo uNkulunkulu amvusayo, kakubonanga ukubola.
Ka ko ia naʻe toe fokotuʻu ʻe he ʻOtua, naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe ia ʻae ʻauʻauha.
38 Ngakho kakwaziwe yini, madoda bazalwane, ukuthi ngalowo kutshunyayelwa kini uthethelelo lwezono;
Ko ia ke ʻilo ʻekimoutolu, ʻae kau tangata ko e kāinga, ʻoku malangaʻaki kiate kimoutolu ʻi he tangata ni ʻae fakamolemole ʻoe angahala:
39 njalo kulo wonke okholwayo uyalungisiswa kukho konke ebelingelungisiswe kukho ngomlayo kaMozisi.
Pea ko e meʻa ʻiate ia, ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku tui, ʻoku fakatonuhiaʻi mei he meʻa kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai faʻa fakatonuhia mei ai ʻe he fono ʻa Mōsese.
40 Ngakho qaphelani ukuthi kalehlelwa yilokhu okwakhulunywa kubaprofethi, okokuthi:
Ko ia vakai telia naʻa hoko kiate kimoutolu ʻaia ʻoku fakahā ʻi he kau palōfita;
41 Khangelani, zideleli, njalo limangale, litshabalale; ngoba mina ngenza umsebenzi ensukwini zenu, umsebenzi elingasoze lawukholwa, nxa umuntu elilandisela.
‘Vakai, ʻakimoutolu ʻae kau luma, pea ofo, mo malaʻia: he ʻoku ou fai ha ngāue ʻi homou ngaahi ʻaho, ha ngāue ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te mou tui ki ai, neongo hono fakahā ʻe ha tangata kiate kimoutolu.”
42 Kwathi ekuphumeni kwamaJuda esinagogeni, abezizwe bacela ukuthi lamazwi akhulunywe kubo ngesabatha elilandelayo.
Pea ʻi he ʻalu ʻae kakai Siu ʻi he falelotu, naʻe kole ʻae Senitaile ke malangaʻaki kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi lea ni ʻi he Sāpate ʻe haʻu.
43 Kwathi abesinagoge sebephumile, abanengi kumaJuda labakhonzayo abaphendukela kumaJuda balandela uPawuli loBarnabasi; abakhuluma labo, bebancenga ukuthi bahlale emuseni kaNkulunkulu.
Pea kuo tutuku ʻae kakai, naʻe muimui ʻia Paula mo Pānepasa ʻae Siu mo e kakai ului faʻa lotu tokolahi: pea naʻa na lea kiate kinautolu, ʻo akonakiʻi ke nau tuʻumaʻu ʻi he ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua.
44 Kwathi ngesabatha elilandelayo babuthana kwaphose kwaba ngumuzi wonke ukuzwa ilizwi likaNkulunkulu.
Pea hoko ki he ʻaho Sāpate ʻe taha, naʻe meimei fakataha ʻae kolo kotoa pē, ke fanongo ki he folofola ʻae ʻOtua.
45 Kodwa amaJuda ebona amaxuku agcwaliswa ngomona, aphikisa izinto ezakhulunywa nguPawuli, ephikisa njalo ehlambaza.
Ka ʻi he mamata ʻae kakai Siu ki he fuʻu tokolahi, naʻa nau feinga ʻaupito, mo nau lea kehe ki he ngaahi meʻa naʻe leaʻaki ʻe Paula, ʻo fakakikihi mo lea kovi lahi.
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)
Pea naʻe toki mālohi ai ʻae loto ʻo Paula mo Pānepasa, ʻo na pehē, “Naʻe totonu ke tomuʻa leaʻaki ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu: ka ʻi hoʻomou tekeʻi atu ia ʻiate kimoutolu, pea fakahā ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻaonga ki he moʻui taʻengata, vakai, te ma ō ki he kakai Senitaile. (aiōnios g166)
47 Ngoba iNkosi isilayile ngokunjalo yathi: Ngikumisile ube yikukhanya kwabezizwe, ube ngowosindiso kuze kube semkhawulweni womhlaba.
He kuo pehē ʻae fekau ʻae ʻEiki kiate kimautolu, Kuo u fokotuʻu koe koe maama ki he ngaahi Senitaile, pea koeʻuhi ko e moʻuiʻanga ki he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo māmani.”
48 Kwathi abezizwe bekuzwa bathokoza, basebelidumisa ilizwi leNkosi, basebekholwa bonke ababemiselwe impilo elaphakade; (aiōnios g166)
Pea ʻi he fanongo eni ʻe he kakai Senitaile, naʻa nau fiefia, mo fakamālōʻia ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua: pea naʻe tui ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe loto ki he moʻui taʻengata. (aiōnios g166)
49 lelizwi leNkosi lasatshalaliswa elizweni lonke.
Pea naʻe malangaʻaki ʻae folofola ʻae ʻEiki ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ko ia.
50 Kodwa amaJuda avusa abesifazana abakhonzayo abadumileyo lezikhulu zomuzi, avusela uPawuli loBarnabasi ukuzingelwa, abaxotsha emikhawulweni yawo.
Ka naʻe fakatupu ʻe he kakai Siu ʻae loto ʻoe kau fefineʻeiki kuo lotu, mo e kau matāpule tangata ʻoe kolo, ʻonau fakalanga ʻae fakatanga kia Paula mo Pānepasa, pea naʻe kapusi ʻakinaua ʻi honau fonua.
51 Kodwa babathintithela uthuli lwenyawo zabo, bafika eIkoniyuma.
Ka naʻa na tūtuuʻi ʻae efu mei hona vaʻe kiate kinautolu, pea na ō ki ʻIkoniume.
52 Njalo abafundi bagcwaliswa ngentokozo loMoya oNgcwele.
Pea naʻe fakapito ʻaki ʻae kau ākonga ʻae fiefia, mo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.
