Vbvrikunamv bunu Maisia takbv vngtoku okv Troas lo vnglwk toku.
9 Kwasekubonakala umbono kuPawuli ebusuku; indoda ethile umMakedoniya yayimi, imncenga isithi: Chaphela eMakedoniya, usisize.
Ho ayu Paul nyikrwgo kaato ninyia Mesedonia ngv dakto la okv ninyia kodwkrwk la kodubv kaato, “Mesedonia lo aala okv ngonua ringla bvkv vla!”
10 Kwathi esewubonile umbono, sahle sazama ukusuka siye eMakedoniya, siphetha sisithi iNkosi isibizele ukutshumayela ivangeli kubo.
Paul so nyikrwa kaanam gola, ngonu mvngrap toku Mesedonia bv vngdu kubv, ogulvgavbolo ngonu Mvngtoku Pwknvyarnv ngonua goklin pvkunv alvnv yunying nga Mesedonia gv nyi vdwa minji dokubv.
11 Ngakho sasuka eTrowasi ngomkhumbi, saqonda eSamotrake, langolulandelayo eNeyapholi,
Ngonu Troas lokv svpw gvngv vnglin lakula okv sidakala bv vngdavngra la Samotras lo vngpikla, okv logo nvnga Neapolis lo vngchito.
12 sasuka lapho saya eFiliphi, engumuzi wokuqala wesigaba seMakedoniya, esibuswa ngelinye ilizwe; kulowomuzi sasesihlala insuku ezithile.
Ngonu ho mooku gvngv Pilippi lo aalwk toku, ho pamtv vv Mesedonia gv mvtumvke distrik akobv rito; so si ka Roman nyi vdwgv doolwkku bvka ritoku. Ngonu hoka alu meegoka doa pvkunv.
13 Njalo ngosuku lwesabatha saphumela ngaphandle komuzi eceleni komfula, lapho okwakufanele kwenzelwe umkhuleko khona; sasesihlala phansi sakhuluma labesifazana ababebuthene ndawonye.

14 Lowesifazana othile uLidiya ngebizo, ongumthengisikazi wamalembu ayibubende owemzini weTiyathira, ekhonza uNkulunkulu, wezwa, onhliziyo yakhe iNkosi yayivula, ukuthi alalele okwakhulunywa nguPawuli.
Ngonu gvlo tvvnv akonv Laidia Taitira lokv, ho vv yalwng yajinv iji pioknv angv. Nyimv angv Pwknvyarnvnyi kumnv go, okv Ahtu ninyigv tuktum mvngnv nvnvnga mvkoto Paul gv ogugo minpvdw alvbv tvvria dubv.
15 Kuthe esebhabhathiziwe, lendlu yakhe, wasincenga esithi: Uba libonile ukuthi ngithembekile eNkosini, wozani endlini yami, lihlale khona. Wasesicindezela.
Kochingbv ninyia okv ninyigv naam lo doonv vdwv baptisma naatoku, ninyi ngonua harlwkto, “Aala okv ngoogv naam lo doolaka nonuno nga jvjvbv Ahtu gv mvngjwng bogobv mvngpvlo.” Okv ninyi ngonua gumya yala vnggv toku.
16 Kwasekusithi sisiya emkhulekweni, intombazana eyisigqili elomoya wokuhlahlula yahlangana lathi, eyayizuzela amakhosi ayo inzuzo enengi ngokuvumisa.
Alu golo ngonu mvnwng ngv kumku mookulo vngtoku; ngonu mvnwng ngv nyijar paknv go vngrwk sito hvkv gvlo darwkmanv dowv doonvgo ho aajinv singdung nga mincho nyunvgo. Ninyigv atu gvbv hv achialv bv morko nga paanv go alvbv aainvgv lvga mincho jinam lokv.
17 Lo walandela uPawuli lathi, ememeza esithi: Lababantu bazinceku zikaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke, ezisitshumayeza indlela yosindiso.
Hv Paul okv ngonua vngming gvtoku, gokto “So nyi vdwsi Kairungnv Pwknvyarnv gv pakbu go! Bunu nonua dupwng jidu oguaingbv nonu singnya svngvdw!”
18 Lalokhu yakwenza insuku ezinengi. Kwathi uPawuli esenengiwe, watshibilika, wathi kumoya: Ngiyakulaya ngebizo likaJesu Kristu ukuthi uphume kuyo. Wasephuma ngalesosikhathi.
Ninyia svbv rila alu meego ritoku, Anyungnga Paul achialvbv mvngdwk toku ho ninyi hinkur hirwkla okv dowa mintoku, “Ngo Jisu Kristo gv amin bv nyimv sokv alvmanv dowv liro toku vla orto jidunv!” dowv linda toku vbv ho minda rilo.
19 Amakhosi akhe esebonile ukuthi ithemba lenzuzo yabo seliphumile, abamba uPawuli loSilasi, abadonsela emdangeni phambi kwababusi,
Vdwlo ninyigv atu gv morko nanv nvngv nyeepv kudw bunu mvngdwk toku, bunu Paul okv Silasnyi gakbwng toku okv bunu svvla ikula rigvdoogvnv nyi vnggiachaagia lo svvlwk nyatoku.
20 esebalethile ezinduneni athi: Lababantu badunga umuzi wethu, bengamaJuda,
Bunu bunua Roman nyigam vdwlo boolwk chotola okv mintoku, “So nyi vdwsi Jius vdwgo okv bunu mvnwng ngv ngoogv pamtv so ridwkriku nyadu.
21 batshumayela imikhuba esingavunyelwa ukuyemukela siyenze, singamaRoma.
Bunu akusunv ridungdodung go tamsar la ngonugv pvbv nga rinyingrirudo, ngonu Roman pamtv lokv, okv ngonu mvnggia mare so ridungdoodung sum vmalo bunugv rinama.”
22 Lexuku labelekelela, lenduna zabadabulela izembatho zabo zalaya ukuthi babatshaye ngenduku.
Okv nyipamv lvkin gubv Paul okv Silasnyi naatungto. Vbvrikunamv nyigam vdwv Paul okv Silas gv vji nga putakpuyak tokula okv bunua mvdu ridubv orto nga jitoku.
23 Sebebatshayile imivimvinya eminengi babaphosela entolongweni, balaya umlindintolongo ukuthi abalondoloze abaqinise;
Koching nga achialv bv dwngto la, bunu vdwv buniya patwk arwng lo tumlwk toku, okv patwk rigv nvngv bunua alvbv itum pvvto vla orto nga jito.
24 yena, emukele umlayo onjalo, wabaphosela entolongweni ephakathi, waseqinisa inyawo zabo esigodweni.
Oogv orto nga tvvnam gola, patwk rigvnvgv bunua chenyung lo tunglwk to okv bunugv lvpa nga lvpia lwkpium sitola tumpvto.
25 Kwathi sekungaba phakathi kobusuku uPawuli loSilasi babekhuleka behlabela amahubo endumiso kuNkulunkulu, lezibotshwa zazibezwa;
Yupra lvpa nga Paul okv Silas bunyiv Pwknvyarnvnyi kumla okv mimin mintoku, okv kvvbi patwk doonv mvnwng ngv bunya tvla dootoku.
26 njalo kwahle kwaba khona ukuzamazama komhlaba okukhulu, kwaze kwanyikinyeka izisekelo zentolongo; kwahle kwavulwa iminyango yonke, kwathukululwa izibopho zabo bonke.
Dvminmabv hoka kairungnv mobi go hwkto, hogv patwk doogingnvnv vka hvkdin rvpwngto. Vbvrinamv agi mvnwng ngv kokko nyatoku, okv patwk lo doonv mvnwng ngv jaako ngv doksok toku.
27 Kwathi umlindintolongo ephaphama, esebona iminyango yentolongo ivulekile, wakhokha inkemba, ezimisele ukuzibulala, ecabanga ukuthi izibotshwa zibalekile.
Patwk am kaarianv angv godung toku, okv vdwlo hv patwk gv age ngv kokda namnga kaapa tokula, ho ninyi patwk lo doonv vdwv toosi pvvkuji mvngtoku; vkvlvgabv hv atubongv rioksv nga svvlin laku okv atubongv peeki sitv toku.
28 Kodwa uPawuli wamemeza ngelizwi elikhulu esithi: Ungazilimazi; ngoba silapha sonke.
Vbvritola Paul ho lokv gvngv ninyigv gaam bv gokbub lotoku, “No atubongv mvki suma bvka! Ngonu mvnwng ngv si dopvnv!”
29 Wasecela isibane waphoseka phakathi, njalo wasethuthumela wawela phansi phambi kukaPawuli loSilasi,
Patwk am rigv nvngv mvru bvngla ikula, arwngbv chaplwk toku, okv jinjin rumrum laku Paul okv Silas gv lvpa lvkwnglo aalwk toku.
30 njalo esebakhuphela phandle wathi: Makhosi, kumele ngenzeni ukuze ngisindiswe?
Vbvrikunamv hv bunua agumbv linggv toku okv tvuto, “Tamsarbo vdw, ngo oguaingbv rila ringdubv?”
31 Basebesithi: Kholwa eNkosini uJesu Kristu, njalo uzasindiswa wena lendlu yakho.
Bunu mvrwkto, “Ahtu Jisunyi mvngjwng laka, okv nonua ringya tvvrikunv—nam okv noogv ogu nyi haka.”
32 Basebekhuluma kuye ilizwi leNkosi, lakulabo bonke ababesendlini yakhe.
Vbvrikunamv bunu Ahtu gv gaam nga japji toku okv ninyigv naam lo doonv kvvbi vdwaka.
33 Wasebathatha ngalelohola lobusuku wabagezisa amanxeba, njalo wahle wabhabhathizwa yena labakhe bonke.
Hogv ayulo patwk kaaria nvngv bunua vnggv toku okv bunugv ungv nga harkak toku; okv hv okv ninyigv ogu nyi mvnwng ngv lvkin gubv baptisma naatoku.
34 Wasebasa endlini yakhe wabeka itafula lokudla phambi kwabo, wasethokoza lendlu yakhe yonke, ekholwa kuNkulunkulu.
Vbvrikunamv hv Paul okv Silasnyi naambv chaagv toku okv bunua dvnam go meego jitola dvmu tvku. Hv okv ninyigv ogumvnwng ngv achialv bv himpu toku, vkvlvgabv bunu Pwknvyarnvnyi vjv mvngjwng nyatoku.
35 Kwathi sekusile, induna zathuma amapholisa zisithi: Khulula labobantu.
Aru gunv nga Roman rigvnv vdwv polis nyigam vdwa orto nga jilinla vngmuto, “Hogv nyi vdwa vngmu laku kv vla.”
36 Umlindintolongo wasebikela uPawuli lamazwi esithi: Induna zithumele, ukuthi likhululwe; ngakho phumani khathesi lihambe ngokuthula.
Vkvlvgabv patwk kaarianv Paulnyi minto, “Nyigam vdwv nam okv Silasnyi orto go jilwkpv topu dukubv. Vbvribolo, nonu vngla riku, vngnyi kuka okv nyanyak alvbvku.”
37 Kodwa uPawuli wathi kuwo: Basitshayile obala singalahlwanga licala, singamaRoma, basebesiphosela entolongweni, njalo khathesi ngensitha sebesiphosela phandle yini? Hatshi bo! Kodwa kumele beze bona basikhuphe.
Vbvritola Paul polis nyigam vdwa mintoku, “Ngonu mvnwng lo ogu rimur goka kaapama, bunu ngonu mvnwng nga nyi gv apam lo mvritmvkato—okv ngonu mvnwng vka Roman nyi to!

38 Amapholisa azibikela izinduna lamazwi; zasezisesaba zisizwa ukuthi bangamaRoma,
Polis nyigam vdwv mirwk toku soogv gaam am Roman nyigam vdwlo minpa toku; okv vdwlo bunu Paul okv Silasnyi Roman nyi go vla tvvpa kunamv, bunu mvnwng ngv busu nyatoku.
39 njalo zeza zabancenga, njalo zabakhupha zabacela ukuthi baphume emzini.
Vkvlvgabv bunu aalaku okv bunua minggu lwktoku; Vbvrikunamv bunu patwk gvngv bunua linggv toku okv bunua pamtv nga kayu tokukv vla tvvkato.
40 Basebephuma entolongweni bangena koLidiya; kwathi sebebabonile abazalwane, babaduduza, basuka bahamba.
Paul okv Silas patwk gvngv linlaku okv Laidia gv naam bv aatoku. Bunu hoka mvngjwngnv vdwa kaarwk sito kula, okv bunua gaam mintvmiru pikula okv vngtoku.
