Imisebenzi 17
1 Kwathi sebedabule iAmfipholi leApoloniya, bafika eThesalonika, lapho okwakukhona isinagoge lamaJuda;
Phawuloosaranne Sillaasera Amfiphoolisaranne Apholoniyara aadhdhidi Teselonqe bidosona. Yan Ayhude Woosa Keethi de7ees.
2 njalo njengomkhuba kaPawuli wangena kuwo, wakhulumisana lawo ngokuvela emibhalweni okwamasabatha amathathu,
Phawuloosi kaseyssada yaa gelis. Hessan heedzu saamintta Xoossaa qaalappe asaas odis.
3 evula etshengisa ukuthi kwakufanele uKristu ahlupheke avuke kwabafileyo, lokuthi: UJesu lo, mina engimtshumayela kini, unguKristu.
Kiristtoosi waaye ekkanawunne hayqoppe denddanaw besseyssa enttaw qonccisidi odishe, “Yesuusi ha taani hinttew odeyssi Kiristtoosa” yaagis.
4 Labanye babo bakholwa, bazihlanganisa loPawuli loSilasi, njalo ixuku elikhulu lamaGriki akhonzayo, lakwabesifazana abadumileyo abangabalutshwana.
Enttafe issoti issoti oday tuma gideyssa ma77idi Phawuloosaranne Sillaasera issifidosona. Hessadakka, Xoossaa goynniya daro Girike asaynne daro bonchchettida maccasatikka enttara issifidosona.
5 Kodwa amaJuda angakholwayo aba lomona, athatha amanye amadoda amabi angamavila emdangeni, enza ixuku, adunga umuzi; ahlasela indlu kaJasoni, edinga ukubakhuphela ebantwini;
Shin Ayhudeti qanaattidi issi issi oosoy baynna iita asata ogeppe shiishidosona. Kataman buqethi kessidosona; Phawuloosanne Sillaase asaas aathi immanaw koyidi Yaasona keethaa teqqidosona.
6 kwathi engabatholi, adonsela uJasoni labazalwane abathile kubaphathi bomuzi, ememeza esithi: Laba abayaluzelisa umhlaba, bona sebefikile lalapha,
Phawuloosinne Sillaasi enttaw benttonna ixxin, Yaasonanne issi issi ammaneyssata katamaa halaqatakko goochchi efidi, “Hayssati biitta ubbaa buqeyssati ha77i nuukko yidosona.
7 uJasoni abemukeleyo; lalaba bonke benza okuphambene lemithetho kaKesari, besithi kukhona enye inkosi, enguJesu.
Yaasoni entta ba son wothis. Hayssati, ‘Yesuusa giya hara kawoy de7ees’ gidi Qeesara kiitaa menthosona” yaagidi dhoqqu gida qaalan odidosona.
8 Asedunga ixuku labaphathi bomuzi besizwa lezizinto.
Shiiqida asaynne katamaa halaqati hessa si7idi hananabaa dhayidosona.
9 Kwathi sebethethe isibambiso kuJasoni lakwabanye, abakhulula.
Halaqati Yaasonanne harata waasen birshshidosona.
10 Njalo abazalwane bahle basusa uPawuli loSilasi babathuma eBeriya ebusuku; okwathi sebefikile khona basuka baya esinagogeni lamaJuda.
Ammaneysati Phawuloosanne Sillaase qammara Beeriya yeddidosona. Beeriya gakkidi, Ayhude Woosa Keethi gelidosona.
11 Lawo ayelungile kulalawo aweThesalonika, emukela ilizwi ngokuvuma konke, ehlolisisa imibhalo insuku ngensuku, ukuthi zinjalo yini lezizinto.
Beeriya asati Teselonqe asatappe aadhdhida suureta. Entti qaala kumetha wozanaappe ekkidosona; Phawuloosi gidayssi tuma gideyssa shaakki eranaw gallas gallas Geeshsha Gaxaafata xanna7oosona.
12 Ngakho amanengi kuwo akholwa, lakwabesifazana abahloniphekayo abangamaGriki lakwabesilisa abangabalutshwana.
Hessa gisho, enttafe daroti, Giriketappeka bonchchettida daro maccasatinne daro addeti ammanidosona.
13 Kodwa kwathi amaJuda eThesalonika esekwazi ukuthi ilizwi likaNkulunkulu liyatshunyayelwa nguPawuli leBeriya, eza lakhona enyakazelisa amaxuku.
Shin Teselonqen de7iya Ayhudeti Phawuloosi Xoossaa qaala Beeriyankka odidayssa si7ida wode Beeriya yidi asaa buqidosona.
14 Njalo ngalesosikhathi abazalwane bahle bamthuma uPawuli kungathi uya elwandle; kodwa uSilasi loTimothi basala khona.
Hessafe guye, ammaneyssati ellesidi Phawuloosa abbaa mati yeddidosona. Shin Sillaaseynne Ximotiyoosi Beeriyan attidosona.
15 Lalabo ababephelekezela uPawuli, bamfikisa eAtene; sebemukele umlayezelo oya kuSilasi loTimothi, ukuthi beze kuye ngokuphangisa okukhulu, basuka bahamba.
Phawuloosa moyzida asati Ateena gathidosona. He asati Sillaaseynne Ximotiyoosi banttaw dandda7ettida mela ellesidi baakko yaana mela Phawuloosi kiittida kiitaa ekkidi Beeriya simmidosona.
16 Kwathi uPawuli esabalindele eAtene, umoya wakhe wakhathazeka phakathi kwakhe, ebona umuzi ugcwele izithombe.
Phawuloosi Ateenan Sillaasenne Ximotiyoosa naagishe, kataman eeqi kumidayssa be7idi yilotis.
17 Ngakho waphikisana lamaJuda esinagogeni labanye abakhonzayo, lasemdangeni insuku zonke lalabo ahlangana labo.
Hessa gisho, Ayhude Woosa Keethan Ayhudetaranne Xoossaa goynniya Ayhude gidonna asatara qassi baara gayttiya asatara ubba gallas palamees.
18 Labathile kuzo izazi zamaEpikuri lamaStoyiki baphikisana laye. Labanye bathi: Uwumane lolu lufuna ukuthini? Kodwa abanye bathi: Kungathi ungotshumayela onkulunkulu bezizweni; ngoba ngevangeli watshumayela kubo uJesu lokuvuka kwabafileyo.
Eppiqoroosanne Istoyke geetettiya cugetappe issi issi eranchchoti Phawuloosara palamidosona. Enttafe issoti issoti, “Ha yooyamay ay odanaw koyii?” yaagidosona. Harati Phawuloosi Yesuusabaanne hayqoppe I denddidayssa banttaw odida gisho, “Ooratha xoossatabaa odiya daanees” yaagidosona.
19 Basebemthatha, bamusa eAreyopagu besithi: Singazi yini ukuthi iyini limfundiso entsha oyifundisayo?
Phawuloosa oykkidi Aryoospaagosa giya shiiqo bessaa efidi, “Ha neeni tamaarssiya oorathabay aybeekko nuna erisikkii?
20 Ngoba uletha indaba ezimangalisayo ezithile endlebeni zethu; ngakho sifisa ukwazi ukuthi lezizinto ziyini.
Ays giikko, neeni nuus oorathabaa odaasa; hiza hessi aybeekko nuuni eranaw koyoos” yaagidosona.
21 Ngoba bonke abeAtene lezethekeli ezihlala khona babechitha isikhathi kungeyisikho ngolutho olunye, ngaphandle kokutshela lokuzwa into entsha.
Ateena asay ubbaynne hessan de7iya imathati oorathabaa odettonnanne si7onna pee7okkona.
22 Kwathi uPawuli esima phakathi kweAreyopagu, wathi: Madoda maAtene, ngiyabona ukuthi ezintweni zonke kungathi lilenkolelo enkulu.
Phawuloosi Aryoospaagosa sinthan eqqidi, “Ateena asato, xoossatas ubbaban hintte daro yayyeyssa taani be7ays.
23 Ngoba ngithe ngidabula ngikhangela izinto zenu elizikhonzayo, ngasengifica ilathi elilotshwe ukuthi: KUNKULUNKULU ONGAZIWAYO. Lowo-ke elimkhonza lingamazi, nguye mina engimtshumayela kini.
Taani hintte katamaara yuuyashe hintte goynniya bessata be7iya wode, ‘Erettonna Xoossaas’ geetetti xaafettida yarshsho bessaa demmas. Ha hintte eronnashin goynneyssa taani hinttew odays.
24 UNkulunkulu owenza umhlaba lakho konke okukuwo, yena, oyiNkosi yezulu lomhlaba, kahlali emathempelini enziwe ngezandla,
Sa7aanne sa7an de7iya ubbabaa medhdhida Xoossay, saluwanne sa7aa Goday, asi keexida keethan deenna.
25 futhi kakhonzwa ngezandla zabantu, njengoswela ulutho, ngoba yena uqobo lwakhe uyabapha bonke impilo lokuphefumula lazo zonke izinto;
I de7o, shempponne ubbabaa asa ubbaas immiya gisho paci de7iya asada asa maade koyenna.
26 njalo wazenza zonke izizwe zabantu zivela egazini linye, ukuthi zihlale ebusweni bonke bomhlaba, wazimisela izikhathi eziqunyiweyo ngaphambili lemingcele yokuhlala kwazo;
Xoossay asa zerethi ubbaa issi addiyafe medhdhidi biitta ubban wothis. Yaatidi entti de7ana wodiyasinne bessaas zawa immis.
27 ukuze zidinge iNkosi, ukuthi mhlawumbe sibili zimuzwe zimthole, njalo kanti kakhatshana kulowo lalowo wethu.
I hessa oothiday asi iya koyana melanne pilggidi demmana melassa. Hanikkoka I nuuppe geemmibeenna.
28 Ngoba kuye siphila njalo sihamba futhi sikhona; njengoba lembongi ezithile zakini zithe: Ngoba futhi siyinzalo yakhe.
Hinttefe issi issi yexxeyssati, ‘Nuuni iya nayta’ gidayssada, ‘Nuuni iyan paxa de7oos, qaaxoos.’
29 Ngakho lokhu siyinzalo kaNkulunkulu, kakufanele ukuthi sinakane ukuthi ubuNkulunkulu bunjengegolide kumbe isiliva loba ilitshe, okubazwe ngeminwe langokunakana kwabantu.
Hiza, nuuni Xoossaa nayta gidiya gisho, ‘Xoossay asa hiillatethaninne qofan worqqafe woykko birappe woykko shuchchafe oosettidabaa daanees’ yaagidi qoppanaw bessenna.
30 Ngakho izikhathi zokungazi uNkulunkulu kazinanzanga, kodwa khathesi uyalaya bonke abantu endaweni zonke ukuthi baphenduke;
Hessa gisho, Xoossay kase wode asay eronna oothidayssa aggidi aadhdhis, shin ha77i ubbason de7iya asi ubbay nagaraappe simmana mela kiittees.
31 ngoba umisile usuku, azakwahlulela ngalo umhlaba ngokulunga, ngendoda ayimisileyo, waqinisa kubo bonke, ngokuyivusa kwabafileyo.
Ays giikko, Xoossay ba doorida addiyan sa7an de7iya asa ubbaa bolla xillo pirdda pirddanaw qamma giigisi wothis. Iya hayqoppe denthidi hessa asa ubbaas tumayis” yaagis.
32 Kwathi besizwa ngokuvuka kwabafileyo, abanye bahleka usulu; kodwa abanye bathi: Sizaphinda sikuzwe ngalokhu.
Enttafe issi issi asati hayqoppe denddobaa Phawuloosappe si7idi, iya bolla qelqisidosona. Shin harati, “Nuuni hessa neeppe gujjidi si7anaw koyoos” yaagidosona.
33 Langokunjalo uPawuli waphuma phakathi kwabo.
Hessa gisho, Phawuloosi entta giddofe keyis.
34 Kodwa amadoda athile anamathela kuye, akholwa; phakathi kwawo kwakukhona loDiyonisiyu umAreyopagu, lowesifazana obizo lakhe nguDamari, labanye kanye labo.
Shin issi issi addeti Phawuloosara gaakettidi ammanidosona. Entta giddofe Aryoospaagosan shiiquwan de7iya Diyonasyoos giya addey, Damarsso giya issi maccasiyanne harati de7oosona.
