1 Kwasekusithi sisuka ngomkhumbi sesehlukene labo, sahamba ngendlela eqondileyo safika eKosi, langosuku olulandelayo eRodesi, sasuka lapho saya ePathara;
Unsiki ghuno tukalekine navene, tukyula ku nyanja, tukafikile mulikaja ilya Kosi, ikighono kinokikafikile mu likaja lya Rodo, na kuhuma ukuo tukafikile mulikaja lya Patara.
2 sasesithola umkhumbi ochaphela eFenekiya, sangena sahamba ngomkhumbi.
Ye tupatile i meli jinojino jilovoka kuluta ku Foinike, tukapandile na kukyula.
3 Kwathi sesiqhamuka eKuprosi, sasesiyitshiyela ngakwesokhohlo, saya ngomkhumbi eSiriya, sehlikela eTire; ngoba umkhumbi wawuzakwethulela khona impahla.
Ye tufikile pavulongolo pa kiponge ikya Kipro, tukajilekile ulubale ulwa ng'ighi, tukakyula kuluta ku Siria, tukima mulikaja ilya Tiro, ulwakuva ukuo kwekuno imeli jikale jipakilvue ishehena ja mwene.
4 Sesibatholile abafundi, sahlala khona insuku eziyisikhombisa; bona bamtshela uPawuli ngoMoya, ukuthi angenyukeli eJerusalema.
Ye avavuene avavulanisivua, tukikala ukuo ifighono budika lubale. Ava vulanisivua avaava vakam'bula u Paulo kukilila uMhepo kuuti umwene nangisaghe ku Yerusalemu.
5 Kwathi sekwenzakele ukuthi siqede insuku, sasuka sahamba, bonke basiphelekezela kanye labomkabo labantwana kwaze kwaba ngaphandle komuzi; njalo saguqa ngamadolo ekhunjini sakhuleka,
Ye visile ifighono fila, usue tukabuka kuluta kulyusue. Vooni palikimo, nava mama vavanave palikimo navaana vavanave, vakatuhingilisie musila siitu yeye tuhumile kunji kulikaja. Kange tukafughama ku pwani, tukifunya, tukalaghine tweeni.
6 sesivalelisene, sangena emkhunjini, kodwa bona babuyela kubo.
Tukapandile imeli, kuno avenge vigomoka kange kunyumba sivanave.
7 Kodwa thina, sesiqedile uhambo ngomkhumbi sisuka eTire, safika ePetolemayi, sesibingelele abazalwane sahlala labo usuku lwaba lunye.
Kange ye tumalile ulughendo lwitu kuhuma ku Tiro, tukafikile ku Tolemai. Pala tukahungile avanyalukolo na pikukala na vene kighono kimo.
8 Kusisa thina esasiloPawuli sasuka safika eKesariya; sesingene endlini kaFiliphu umvangeli, owayengomunye wabayisikhombisa, sahlala laye.
Ikighono kino kikwisa tukabukile tukalutile ku Kaisaria. Usue tukingile munyumba ja Filipo, undaliki ughwa livangili, juno alyale jumbo vava budika lubale, najusue tukikala palikimo nu mwene.
9 Yena-ke wayelamadodakazi amane, intombi, eziprofethayo.
Umuunhu uju alyale navahinja vano vakavilagha.
10 Kwathi sesihlezi insuku ezinengi, kwehla umprofethi othile uAgabusi ngebizo evela eJudiya,
Ye ikalile ukuo ifighono n'diiki, akika kuhuma kuvu Yahudi um'biili jumo juno itambulivua Agabo.
11 wasefika kithi, wathatha uzwezwe lukaPawuli, wazibopha izandla kanye lenyawo esithi: Utsho lokho uMoya oyiNgcwele: Indoda olungolwayo loluzwezwe, amaJuda eJerusalema azayibopha kanje, njalo ayinikele ezandleni zabezizwe.
Umwene akisile kulyusue akatola ukanda ghwa Paulo. Ku uluo akipinya amaghulu nana mavoko gha mwene jujuo akaati, “U Mhepo u Mwitike iiti ndiiki,” “Ava Yahudi ku Yerusalemu vikupinya u muunhu juno itema ukanda ughu, voope vikupela mumavoko gha vaanhu avapanji.”
12 Sesizizwile lezizinto, samncenga thina kanye lalabo ababelapho, ukuthi angenyukeli eJerusalema.
Ye tum'pulike amasio agha usue navaanhu vano vakale vikukala pala tukam'bula u Paulo aleke pitogha kuluta ku Yerusalemu.
13 Kodwa uPawuli waphendula esithi: Lenzani likhala lidabula inhliziyo yami? Ngoba mina sengilungele, kungeyisikho ukubotshwa kuphela, kodwa lokufa eJerusalema ngenxa yebizo leNkosi uJesu.
Pe u Paulo akamula, “Muvomba kiki, mulila na kudenyania inumbula jango? Ulwakuva niling'anisie, nambe kukungua kweene, looli kange kufwila ukuo ku Yerusalemu vwimila vwa litavua ilya Mutwa Yesu.”
14 Kwathi engancengeki, sathula sathi: Kayenziwe intando yeNkosi.
Ulwakuva u Paulo nakale ilonda kuvulua, tukabuhilile na kujoova, “kange uvughane vwa Mutwa vuvombike.”
15 Emva kwalezinsuku sasesilungiselela, senyukela eJerusalema.
Ifighono ifi, tukatolile amafuko ghitu nakuluta ku Yerusalemu.
16 Labathile babafundi beKesariya basebehamba lathi, babuya lothile uMnasoni umKuprosi, umfundi omdala, ebesizangenisa kuye.
Avavulanisivua vamo kuhuma ku Kaisaria tukafwatine nusue. Vakan'twala umuunhu jumo juno itambulivua Mnasoni, muunhu ghwa ku Kipro, um'bulanisivua ghwa pakali, juno tulikalile palikimo.
17 Njalo sesifikile eJerusalema, abazalwane basemukela ngokuthokoza.
Ye tufikile ku Yerusalemu, avanyalukolo vakatuupile nulukelo.
18 Kusisa uPawuli wangena lathi kuJakobe, labadala bonke babekhona.
Ikighono kino kikwisa u Paulo akalutile palikimo nusue kwa Yakobo, nava ghogholo vooni vano pevakale.
19 Kwathi esebabingelele, walandisa ngakunye ngakunye izinto uNkulunkulu azenzileyo phakathi kwabezizwe ngenkonzo yakhe.
Ye tuhungile, akavapela imola jino ye jikyale ijinge amasio ghano uNguluve alyavombile mu vanave mu vapanji kuhumila mumbombele inofu ijaija ija mweene.
20 Kwathi sebekuzwile, bayidumisa iNkosi; bathi kuye: Uyabona, mzalwane, ukuthi zinengi kangakanani izigidi zamaJuda akholwayo; futhi bonke batshisekela umlayo;
Unsiki ye vam'pulike agha, vakam'pala u Nguluve, pe vakam'bula, “Ghulola, nyalukolo kweghale amaelufu ghalingi vitiike muvala muva Yahuhudi. Aveene Vooni valinuvufumbue uvwakukola indaghilo.
21 njalo sebetsheliwe ngawe, ukuthi ufundisa wonke amaJuda aphakathi kwabezizwe ukuthi adele uMozisi, usithi angasoki abantwana, lokuthi angahambi ngamasiko.
Vavulilue kusimilisivua uve, kuuti ghu vulanisia ava Yahudi vino vikukala pakate pavapanji kulekana nu Musa, kuuti ghukuvavula vano navakekile avaana vavanave, kangekange navangafwataghe injio isa kali.
22 Pho-ke kuyini? Isibili kufanele ukuthi ixuku libuthane; ngoba bazakuzwa ukuthi usufikile.
Tunoghile tuvombe kiki? Vikagula kuuti vipulika uve ghwisile.
23 Ngakho yenza lokhu esikutsho kuwe; silamadoda amane abalesifungo phezu kwawo;
Lino vombagha kino usue tukukuvula: tuulinavoope vaanhu vane vano vavikile ulujigho.
24 athathe kanye lawe, uzihlambulule kanye lawo, njalo uhlawule indleko zawo, ukuze aphuce amakhanda, njalo ukuze bakwazi bonke ukuthi kakulalutho kulokho abakutshelwe ngawe, kodwa ukuthi lawe uhamba ngokulondoloza umlayo.
Vatole avaanhu ava pe ghuvalasie ghwe mwene palikimo navene, pe uvahombele ighalama savanave, neke vakeete amatue ghavanave. Mu uluo umuunhu jumo akagule kuuti ghano gha vombilue vwimila uve gha vudesi. Vamanyile kuuti uve ghugadilile indaghilo.
25 Kodwa mayelana labezizwe abakholwayo thina sesibhalile, saquma sathi bangagcini lutho olunjalo, ngaphandle kokuthi kabazile okuhlatshelwe izithombe, legazi, lokukhanyiweyo, lokufeba.
Looli imola isa vapanji vaano viitiki, tulyalembile na kuhumia ululaghilo kuuti vanoghile kukujileka ni fiinu fino fihumisivue mumatekelo agha fihweni, ni danda, kuhuma ni kila kino kinyongilue, kange vavulekaghe uvuvafu.”
26 UPawuli wasewathatha amadoda, kusisa wahlanjululwa kanye lawo wangena ethempelini, ukubika ukuphela kwensuku zokuhlanjululwa, kwaze kwalethwa umnikelo walowo lalowo wawo.
Pe pano, u Paulo akavatoola avaghosi, ikighono ikyavuvili, akinosisie jujuo palikimo na veene, akingila mu nyumba imbaha inyimike ijakufunyila, kupulisia unsiki ughwa kighono ikyakuvavulanisia na lilitekelo lihumisivue vwimila umuunhu ghweni ughwa vanave.
27 Kwathi sezizaphela insuku eziyisikhombisa, amaJuda avela eAsiya ayembonile ethempelini, avusa ixuku lonke, amdumela ngezandla,
Ifighono fila ifya budika lubale ye flipipi kusila, ava Yahudi vamo kuhuma ku Asia vakamwaghile u Paulo mu nyumba imbaha inyimike ija kufunyila, namapugha vakakalala, kange vakamugholokesia amavoko.
28 amemeza athi: Madoda maIsrayeli, sizani! Nguye lumuntu ofundisa bonke endaweni zonke okuphambene lesizwe, lomlayo, lalindawo; futhi ungenisile lamaGriki ethempelini, useyingcolisile lindawo engcwele.
Valyale vijeghela, “Avaanhu ava ku Israeli, mututange, uju ghwe muunhu jula juno ivulanisia avaanhu kwooni amasio ghano gha pungine na vaanhu, indaghilo pano tulipuo apa. Kange avaletile ava Yunani mu nyumba inyimike ijakufunyila na piku panyasia apa pa vwimike.”
29 Ngoba ayebonile ngaphambili uTrofimu umEfesu emzini elaye, amkhumbulela ukuthi uPawuli umngenisile ethempelini.
Ulwakuva pavwasio valyale vamwaghile u Trofimo mu Efeso alyale nu mwene palikimo kulikaja, aveene vyalale viiti u Paulo akan'twala ku nyumba imbaha inyimike ija kufunyila.
30 Lomuzi wonke wanyakazela, labantu bagijimela ndawonye, bamdumela uPawuli bamhudulela ngaphandle kwethempeli; leminyango yahle yavalwa.
Ilikaja lyooni lilyale nuludegho, na vaanhu vakakimbiila palikimo na ku n'kola u Paulo. Vakamumia kunji mu nyumba imbaha ijakufunyila, kaange amalyango ghakadindua.
31 Kuthe besafuna ukumbulala, ilizwi lafika enduneni enkulu yesigaba, ukuthi iJerusalema yonke iyaphithizela;
Ye valyale vighela kukum'buda imola sikam'fikila um'baha ghwa kipugha ikya valoleli kuuti i Yerusalemu jooni jilyale jimemile ulunjughanjugha.
32 eyahle yathatha amabutho lezinduna zekhulu, yagijimela kubo; kwathi sebebona induna enkulu lamabutho, bayekela ukumtshaya uPawuli.
Pa uluo akavatola avasikari nava jemedari akakimbilila ikipugha. Unsiki ghuno avaanhu ye vamwaghile um'baha ughwa valoleli navasikari, vakamuleka kun'tova u Paulo.
33 Induna enkulu yasisondela, yambamba, yalaya ukuthi kabotshwe ngamaketane amabili, yabuza ukuthi ungubani, lokuthi wenzeni.
Kange um'baha ghwa kipugha ye alipipi akan'kosa u Paulo, pe akalaghila akungue namanyololo mu m'biili. Akam'posia umwene kaange ghwe veeni kange ghwe veeni avombile kicking.
34 Abanye exukwini bememeza okunye labanye okunye; kodwa ingelakulazi iqiniso ngenxa yomsindo, yalaya ukuthi asiwe enkambeni yamabutho.
Vamo avaanhu mukipugha valyale vilalatila ikiiinu iiki navange ikinge. Ulwakuva u jemedari naghelile kukuvavula ikinu kye kyoni kila ulwakuva lwa njeghelo sila, akalaghila u Paulo ise munkate mu lilinga.
35 Kwathi esefikile ezikhwelweni, kwenzeka ukuthi athwalwe ngamabutho ngenxa yokufutheka kwexuku;
Kange ye afikile pa ngasi, pe akatolua nu nsikari ughwa kipugha vwimila uvwa lunjughanjugha.
36 ngoba ixuku labantu lalandela limemeza lisithi: Msuseni!
Pe ikipugha kikam'bingilila na kughendelela ni njeghelo, “M'busie uju!”
37 Kwathi uPawuli esezangeniswa enkambeni yamabutho wathi enduneni enkulu: Kuvunyelwe yini ukuthi ngikhulume ulutho kuwe? Yona yasisithi: Uyasazi isiGriki yini?
U Paulo ye itwalua munkate mu ngome, akam'bula um'baha ghwa kipugha, “Lunoghile kukum'bula ikinu?” Um'baha jula ughwa kipugha akaati, “Ghujova ikii Yunani?
38 Kanti kawusuye yini lowomGibhithe okwathi kungakafiki lezinsuku wenza umvukela, wakhokhelela enkangala amadoda azinkulungwane ezine angababulali?
Asi, uve naveve mu Misri juno pavutengulilo alongosia uvugalusi kaange atoola avalugu imbilima shine kulukuve?”
39 Kodwa uPawuli wathi: Mina ngingumuntu ongumJuda, weTarsu yeKilikhiya, isakhamuzi somuzi ongadelelekanga; ngiyakuncenga, ngivumela ngikhulume ebantwini.
U paulo akaati, “Une nili Muyahudi kuhuma mulikaja ilya Tarso ilya ku Krikia. UneUne nili muholua ghwa likaja lino litanbulike. Nikuvasuma, munitavule nijove na vaanhu.”
40 Kwathi esemvumele, uPawuli wema ezikhwelweni waqhweba abantu ngesandla; sekuthe cwaka, wasekhuluma labo ngolimi lwamaHebheru wathi:
Unsiki ghuno u jemedari atavwile, u Paulo Akiva pa ngasi akahumia indaghilo ku vaanhu kuluvoko lwa mwene. Unsiki ghuno ghukalilime fiijo pe akajova navoope kuki Hebrania. Akaati,
