Imisebenzi 22
1 Madoda, bazalwane, labobaba, zwanini ukuziphendulela kwami khathesi kini.
“Bhai khan, aru baba khan, moi etiya nijor laga safai te apnikhan usorte kotha kobole ase, etu ke huni bhi.”
2 Sebezwile ukuthi ukhuluma labo ngolimi lwamaHebheru, bathula kakhulu, wasesithi:
Aru jitia tai Yehudi bhasa te koise, taikhan arubi ekdom chup thaki jaise. Titia tai aru koise,
3 Mina ngiyindoda engumJuda, eyazalelwa eTarsu yeKilikhiya, ngakhuliselwa kulumuzi enyaweni zikaGamaliyeli, ngafundiswa ngokuqinileyo umlayo wabobaba, ngitshisekela uNkulunkulu, njengani lonke lamuhla;
“Moi Yehudi ase Cilicia laga Tarsus sheher te jonom luwa, etu sheher pora Gamaliel laga theng te bohi kene amikhan laga baba khan laga niyom thik pora sikhi loise, aru Isor phale jor dikena aji apnikhan jineka kori ase tineka kori ahisele.
4 eyazingela leyondlela kwaze kwaba sekufeni, ngibabopha ngibanikela entolongweni amadoda kanye labafazi,
Aru mota, maiki, hobi, etu dhorom Rasta te juwa khan ke bondhi ghor te dikene morai bhi di thakise,
5 njengoba lompristi omkhulu engifakazela, lomphakathi wonke wabadala; engazuza kubo incwadi eziya kubazalwane, ngaya eDamaseko, ukuthi lababekhona lapho ngibalethe eJerusalema bebotshiwe, ukuze bajeziswe.
etu kotha cholawta, bura khan aru sabha bhi sakhi dibo pare, moi taikhan pora ami laga bhai khan Damascus te thaka khan logote chithi likhi diya utu bhi loise, karone moi jai kene ta te kunba thakile dhori kene Jerusalem te ani taikhan ke sajai dibo bhabise.
6 Kwasekusithi ngisahamba sengisondela eDamaseko, sekungaba yimini enkulu, kwahle kwakhanya ukukhanya okukhulu okuvela ezulwini kungizingelezela.
Etu homoi moi Damascus punchibole usor hoi asele, titia din nisena homoi asele, aru sorgo pora achanak ekta dangor puhor ahi moi usorte thaki jaise.
7 Ngasengiwela phansi, ngasengisizwa ilizwi lisithi kimi: Sawuli, Sawuli, ungizingelelani?
Aru moi matite giri jaise, aru ekta awaj moike kowa hunise, ‘Saul, Saul, kele tumi Moike digdar kori ase?
8 Mina ngasengiphendula ngathi: Ungubani, Nkosi? Wasesithi kimi: NginguJesu weNazaretha wena omzingelayo.
Karone moi hudise, ‘Probhu Apuni kun ase?’ Aru Tai moike koise, ‘Moi Nazareth Jisu ase, junke tumi dukh digdar di ase.’
9 Lalabo ababelami bakubona ukukhanya, njalo basebesesaba, kodwa kabalizwanga ilizwi elakhuluma lami.
Aru jun manu moi logot ahise, taikhan bhi puhor to dikhise aru bhoi korise, kintu taikhan moike kotha kowa laga awaj to huna nai.
10 Ngasengisithi: Ngenzeni, Nkosi? INkosi yasisithi kimi: Sukuma uye eDamaseko; njalo uzatshelwa khona ngazo zonke izinto ozimiselwe ukuthi uzenze.
Titia moi koise, ‘Moi ki koribo lage Probhu?’ Aru Probhu moike koise, ‘Uthi kene Damascus te jabi, aru ta te tumi ki-ki koribo lage etu sob tumike koi dibo.’
11 Njengoba ngangingaboni ngenxa yenkazimulo yalokhokukhanya, ngakhokhelwa ngesandla yilabo ababelami, ngafika eDamaseko.
Aru utu puhor bisi huwa karone moi eku dikhibo para nai, titia moi laga sathi khan laga hath dhurikena he moi Damascus te ahise.
12 Njalo uAnaniya othile, indoda ekhuthele ekukhonzeni ngokomlayo, owayefakazelwa yiwo wonke amaJuda ahlala khona,
Titia Ananias koi kene ekjon asele, tai niyom mani thaka ekjon asele, aru ta te thaka Yehudi khan bisi sonman kori thaka manu ase.
13 weza kimi wasesima phansi kwami wathi kimi: Sawuli mzalwane, buya ubone. Njalo mina ngalesosikhathi ngasengimbona.
Tai ami laga usorte ahikena koise, ‘Bhai Saul, apuni laga suku dikhi bhi.’ Aru etu homoi te moi dikhibole parise aru taike dikhise.
14 Wasesithi: UNkulunkulu wabobaba bethu ukumisile ngaphambili ukuthi wazi intando yakhe, lokuthi ubone oLungileyo, njalo uzwe ilizwi eliphuma emlonyeni wakhe,
Titia tai koise, ami laga baba khan laga Isor he tumike basi loise, tumi he tai itcha ke janibole aru Dharmikta Jonke sabo paribole aru tai nijor mukh pora kowa awaj ke huni bole.
15 ngoba uzakuba ngumfakazi wakhe kubo bonke abantu, walokho okubonileyo lokuzwileyo.
Kelemane tumi ki dikhise aru ki hunise etu sob manu ke koi dibole tai sakhi bonai dise.
16 Khathesi-ke, usalindeleni? Sukuma ubhabhathizwe uhlanjululwe ezonweni zakho, ubize ibizo leNkosi.
Tinehoile apuni etiya bhi kele bohi ase? Uthi kene baptizma loi lobi, aru prathana kori kene tai naam pora tumi laga paap dhui dibi.’
17 Kwasekusithi kimi sengibuyele eJerusalema, njalo ngikhuleka ethempelini, ngaba lokuhlehla kwengqondo,
Titia moi aru Jerusalem te ahi kene mondoli te prathana kori asele, titia moi Atma te bhorta hoi kene darshan dikhise.
18 ngasengimbona wathi kimi: Phangisa uphume ngesiqubu eJerusalema; ngoba kabasoze bemukele ubufakazi bakho ngami.
Aru moi Probhu ke dikhise, Tai moike koise, ‘Joldi Jerusalem chari kene jabi, kelemane taikhan Ami laga kotha tumi gawahi diya ke namanibo.’
19 Ngasengisithi: Nkosi, bayazi bona ukuthi mina ngangibafaka entolongweni ngibatshaya emasinagogeni wonke labo abakholwa kuwe;
Karone moi koise, ‘Probhu, moi pora biswasi khan mondoli te dhurikena bondhi ghor te diya aru mari thaka taikhan jani ase.
20 njalo mhla kuchithwa igazi likaStefane umfakazi wakho, mina uqobo ngangimi khona ngivumelana lokufa kwakhe, njalo ngilondoloza izembatho zalabo abambulalayo.
Aru jitia Apuni nimite mori juwa Stephen ke khun giraikena morai di thakise, ta te moi bhi thakise, aru jun manu khan pora taike morai dise utu khan laga kapra ke moi rukhi thakise.’
21 Wasesithi kimi: Hamba, ngoba mina ngizakuthuma khatshana kwabezizwe.
Titia Tai moike koise, ‘Jabi, kelemane moi tumike yate pora dur Porjati khan logot pathai dibo.’
22 Bamlalela kwaze kwafika kulelolizwi, baphakamisa ilizwi labo besithi: Msuseni onje emhlabeni, ngoba kakufanele ukuthi aphile!
Aru taikhan etu kotha kowa tak taike huni thakise. Etu pichete taikhan awaj uthaikene hala kori koise, “Eneka manu ke prithibi pora hatai dibi, kelemane tai jinda thaki bole thik nohoi.”
23 Kwathi besamemeza, baphosa izembatho, baphosa uthuli emoyeni,
Titia taikhan hala kori kene taikhan laga kapra khan ulai phelaise, aru upor hawa te dhul urai thakise,
24 induna enkulu yalaya ukuthi angeniswe enkambeni yamabutho, yathi kahlolisiswe ngokutshaywa ngesiswepu, ukuze yazi ukuthi kungasizatho bani bememeza ngokunjalo ngaye.
titia mukhyo henedhikari pora Paul ke bondh kora jagate loi jabole hukum dise, aru manu khan kele taike iman ghusa kori ase etu janibole taike chabuk pora mari kene bhal pora hudibole koise.
25 Kwathi sebemelulele phambili ngemichilo, uPawuli wathi enduneni yekhulu eyayimi lapho: Kuvunyelwe kini yini ukutshaya ngesiswepu umuntu ongumRoma engalahlwanga licala?
Aru taikhan jitia taike chabuk mari bole taiyar korise, Paul pora tai usorte khara thaka henapoti ke koise, “Rome manu ke eku golti nathaki kene bhi chabuk mari bole niyom te ase?”
26 Induna yekhulu isizwile yasondela yatshela induna enkulu isithi: Nanzelela osuzakwenza; ngoba lumuntu ungumRoma.
Jitia henapoti etu kotha hunise tai mukhyo henedhikari logote jai kene koise, “Apuni eneka kele kori ase? Tai Rome laga nagrik ase.”
27 Induna enkulu yasifika yathi kuye: Ngitshele, wena ungumRoma yini? Yena wathi: Yebo.
Titia henedhikari tai logot te ahikena koise, “Moike kobi, tumi Rome laga nagrik ase?” Paul koise “Hoi”.
28 Induna enkulu yasiphendula yathi: Mina lelilungelo lokuba yisakhamuzi ngalizuza ngemali enkulu. UPawuli wasesithi: Kodwa lami ngazalwa lalo.
Etu huni kene mukhyo henedhikari pora koise, “Moi to Rome laga nagrik hobole bisi toka poisa pora kinise.” Kintu Paul koise, “Moi to jonom pora he Rome laga nagrik ase.”
29 Ngakho labo abasebezamhlola bahle basuka kuye. Lenduna enkulu layo yesaba, isisazi ukuthi ungumRoma, lokuthi ibimbophile.
Titia jun taike mari bole thakise, taikhan loge- loge tai usor pora joldi hati jaise. Aru kitia mukhyo henedhikari bhi Paul to Rome laga nagrik ase koi kene janise, tai bhi bhoi khaise kele koile tai pora Paul ke dhori kene bandh kora karone.
30 Kwathi kusisa ifuna ukwazi iqiniso, ukuthi kungani emangalelwa ngamaJuda, yamkhulula kuzibopho, yalaya ukuthi abapristi abakhulu lomphakathi wabo wonke babuye, yamehlisa uPawuli yammisa phambi kwabo.
Dusra din Yehudi khan pora ki nimite Paul ke doshi korise, etu janibole mukhyo henedhikari pora Paul ke khuli dise, aru mukhyo purohit khan aru sabhakhan ke joma kori bole hukum dise, aru Paul ke loi kene taikhan age te khara kori dise.
