1 Madoda, bazalwane, labobaba, zwanini ukuziphendulela kwami khathesi kini.
“Ngoogv Israel ajin vdwa, ngo atuv mvngging sula minam sum nonu tvvria jilabv!”
2 Sebezwile ukuthi ukhuluma labo ngolimi lwamaHebheru, bathula kakhulu, wasesithi:
Vdwlo bunu ninyia Hebru gaambv japdubv tvvto kudw, bunu abuyayabv choi nyatoku; okv Paul japwngla japjuk paying toku:
3 Mina ngiyindoda engumJuda, eyazalelwa eTarsu yeKilikhiya, ngakhuliselwa kulumuzi enyaweni zikaGamaliyeli, ngafundiswa ngokuqinileyo umlayo wabobaba, ngitshisekela uNkulunkulu, njengani lonke lamuhla;
“Ngo Jius nyi vkv, Silisia gv Tarsus lo bvngnamv, vbvritola Jerusalem lo Gamaliel gvlo puri rila singcha toku. Ngo paato abuapa vdwgv alvbv Gamki pvvnama, okv silu so doodunv nonugv asar alvbv Pwknvyarnv gvlo tulwk sunam aingbv rito.
4 eyazingela leyondlela kwaze kwaba sekufeni, ngibabopha ngibanikela entolongweni amadoda kanye labafazi,
Ngo so lamtv lo vngming gvnv nyi vdw ngaka pakipamar la sidubv mvtoku. Ngo nyimv jvka okv nyilo jvka naatungla okv bunua patwk arwnglo tumlwk toku.
5 njengoba lompristi omkhulu engifakazela, lomphakathi wonke wabadala; engazuza kubo incwadi eziya kubazalwane, ngaya eDamaseko, ukuthi lababekhona lapho ngibalethe eJerusalema bebotshiwe, ukuze bajeziswe.
Nyibu butvyachoknv okv kvba nyi mvnwng ngvka chinyadu ngoogv minam si jvjvbv mindunv vla. Ngo bunugv lokv Damaskas lo jius ajin vdwa siti lvknam am naarwksito, vkvlvgabv ngo bunua naatungla Jerusalem lo boolwkla rvngja lokv leeto la mvritririt dubv vla vngto.
6 Kwasekusithi ngisahamba sengisondela eDamaseko, sekungaba yimini enkulu, kwahle kwakhanya ukukhanya okukhulu okuvela ezulwini kungizingelezela.
“Ngo vngdungla okv Damaskas lo aachi svlv nga, alo lopo dvsv nga Nyidokolo gvngv dvminmabv dooriak go nga riakyum toku.
7 Ngasengiwela phansi, ngasengisizwa ilizwi lisithi kimi: Sawuli, Sawuli, ungizingelelani?
Ngo kvdw bolo gipv toku okv gaamgo nga, ‘Sol Sol! No nga ogubv mvdwmvku dunv?’ Vla mindubv tvvpato.
8 Mina ngasengiphendula ngathi: Ungubani, Nkosi? Wasesithi kimi: NginguJesu weNazaretha wena omzingelayo.
Ngo tvvkato, ‘Ahtu, no yvvla?’ ‘Noogv mvdwmvku namv, ngo Najaret gv Jisu kv,’ hv nga vbv minto.
9 Lalabo ababelami bakubona ukukhanya, njalo basebesesaba, kodwa kabalizwanga ilizwi elakhuluma lami.
Nga lvkobv vngnv nyiga vdwv loung ungnama kaapa minggvto, vbvritola yvvka nga gaam japnam am tvvpa manyato.
10 Ngasengisithi: Ngenzeni, Nkosi? INkosi yasisithi kimi: Sukuma uye eDamaseko; njalo uzatshelwa khona ngazo zonke izinto ozimiselwe ukuthi uzenze.
Ngo tvvkato, ‘Ahtu, ngo ogu ridukubv?’ Okv ahtu nga mintoku, ‘Gudungto okv Damaskas bv vngnyika, okv Pwknvyarnv gv no lvgabv mvngnam am no ogu risv ngvdw hoka ogumvnwng nga nam mimpariku.’
11 Njengoba ngangingaboni ngenxa yenkazimulo yalokhokukhanya, ngakhokhelwa ngesandla yilabo ababelami, ngafika eDamaseko.
Loung ngv achialv bv ungkanam lvgabv ngo nyikching toku, okv vbvritola ngoogv vngbam ajin vdwv ngoogv laak am svvbwng tola Damaskas lo aalwk gvvtoku.
12 Njalo uAnaniya othile, indoda ekhuthele ekukhonzeni ngokomlayo, owayefakazelwa yiwo wonke amaJuda ahlala khona,
“Ho pamtv lo nyi ako dooto vkvgv aminv Ananias, hv dormo nyi go ngonugv Pvbv ngaka riming gvnv go okv hoka Jius nyi mvnwng ngv kaibv mvngdv namgo.
13 weza kimi wasesima phansi kwami wathi kimi: Sawuli mzalwane, buya ubone. Njalo mina ngalesosikhathi ngasengimbona.
Hv ngo gvlo aato, ngoogv nvchilo daktola, okv minto, ‘Boru Sol, lvkodv kaadvto!’ Hokaku ngo kaapa toku okv ninyi nyika kaatoku.
14 Wasesithi: UNkulunkulu wabobaba bethu ukumisile ngaphambili ukuthi wazi intando yakhe, lokuthi ubone oLungileyo, njalo uzwe ilizwi eliphuma emlonyeni wakhe,
Hv mintoku, ‘Ngonugv abuapa vdwgv Pwknvyarnv ngv nam darlinto ninyigv mvngnam nga chimu dubv, ninyigv darwkchongjornv pakbu gubv kaamu dubv, okv ninyigv atu gaambv japrinyi ninyia tvvmu dubv.
15 ngoba uzakuba ngumfakazi wakhe kubo bonke abantu, walokho okubonileyo lokuzwileyo.
No ninyigvbv kaariatvvria nvbv ririku mvnwng nga mimpa dukubv okv ogugo no kaapv tvvpv kudw.
16 Khathesi-ke, usalindeleni? Sukuma ubhabhathizwe uhlanjululwe ezonweni zakho, ubize ibizo leNkosi.
Okv svjv, ogu gonyi doyadunv? Gudungto okv baptisma naalaku okv noogv rimur am sokga lakuka ninyia kumgv riku laka.’
17 Kwasekusithi kimi sengibuyele eJerusalema, njalo ngikhuleka ethempelini, ngaba lokuhlehla kwengqondo,
“Ngo Jerusalem bv vngkur toku, okv vdwlo ngo Pwknvyarnvnaam lo kumrilo, ngo nyikrwgo kaato,
18 ngasengimbona wathi kimi: Phangisa uphume ngesiqubu eJerusalema; ngoba kabasoze bemukele ubufakazi bakho ngami.
hoka ngo Ahtunyi kaapato, hv nga vbv minto, ‘baapu alvbv okv Jerusalem am vngyu datoku, ogulvgavbolo so gv nyi vdwv noogv ngo lvkwngbv minam am tvvmare.’
19 Ngasengisithi: Nkosi, bayazi bona ukuthi mina ngangibafaka entolongweni ngibatshaya emasinagogeni wonke labo abakholwa kuwe;
‘Ahtu,’ Ngo mirwksuto, ‘Bunu alv rungbv chindo ho ngo Jius kumkunaamlo vngla okv yvvdw nam mvngjwngnv vdwa naatung la dvngnama.
20 njalo mhla kuchithwa igazi likaStefane umfakazi wakho, mina uqobo ngangimi khona ngivumelana lokufa kwakhe, njalo ngilondoloza izembatho zalabo abambulalayo.
Okv vdwlo noogv kaariariria nvbv rinv Stipinnyi mvki rilo ngo atuv hoka doosuto, ninyigv gwngrw bv sinama alv nvgobv mvnglwk riato okv ninyi gwngrw gwnv vdwgv vji a doogv riato.’
21 Wasesithi kimi: Hamba, ngoba mina ngizakuthuma khatshana kwabezizwe.
Ahtu nga minto, ‘Vngnyilak,’ ‘holvgabv nam ngo Jentail vdwgv dooku adugolo vngmure.’”
22 Bamlalela kwaze kwafika kulelolizwi, baphakamisa ilizwi labo besithi: Msuseni onje emhlabeni, ngoba kakufanele ukuthi aphile!
Nyi vdwv Paulnyi vbv mindu kubv tvvria nyatoku; vbvritola bunu goktv rungbv bunugv goknam am gokrap nyatoku, “Ninyia lvkobv adu tvkuka! ninyia mvkito! ninyi singdu kubv rikuma!”
23 Kwathi besamemeza, baphosa izembatho, baphosa uthuli emoyeni,
Bunu mvnwng ngv goknyato, vjia lwnglolwnglv karla okv, achuaya nga doori aulo jukar dubv taakar nyatoku.
24 induna enkulu yalaya ukuthi angeniswe enkambeni yamabutho, yathi kahlolisiswe ngokutshaywa ngesiswepu, ukuze yazi ukuthi kungasizatho bani bememeza ngokunjalo ngaye.
Roman kamandar angv atugv nyi vdwa Paulnyi sipai naam arwng lo boolwk tvkv vla orto jitoku okv bunua minto ninyia svnyak patola ogulvkwngbv Jius vdwv ninyia svbv goknya dunvdw um tvvlinto.
25 Kwathi sebemelulele phambili ngemichilo, uPawuli wathi enduneni yekhulu eyayimi lapho: Kuvunyelwe kini yini ukutshaya ngesiswepu umuntu ongumRoma engalahlwanga licala?
Vbvritola vdwlo bunu ninyia svnyak padubv vla leeto kudw, hoka nyigam daknv anga Paul minto, “Svkvnv si noogv pvbv lo Roman nyi am ogu rimur go rima jvka leetola svnyak padubv doorung pvnvre?”
26 Induna yekhulu isizwile yasondela yatshela induna enkulu isithi: Nanzelela osuzakwenza; ngoba lumuntu ungumRoma.
Vdwlo nyigam angv ninyia vbv mindubv tvvto kudw, hv orto jinv nyigam gvlo vngtoku okv ninyia tvvkato, “No ogugo ridunv? Alo nyi angv Roman nyi gulaka!”
27 Induna enkulu yasifika yathi kuye: Ngitshele, wena ungumRoma yini? Yena wathi: Yebo.
Vbvriku nvngv orto jinv nyigam angv Paul dokubv aatoku okv ninyi tvvkato, “Nga mimpato, no Roman nyi vre?” “V” vvkv Paul mirwkto.
28 Induna enkulu yasiphendula yathi: Mina lelilungelo lokuba yisakhamuzi ngalizuza ngemali enkulu. UPawuli wasesithi: Kodwa lami ngazalwa lalo.
Orto jinv nyigam angv minto, “Ngo achialvbv ainmorko jila Roman nyi bv rinv ngv.” Paul mirwksito, “Vbvritola ngo bvngyi lokv Roman nyi bv bvngtak linv ngv.”
29 Ngakho labo abasebezamhlola bahle basuka kuye. Lenduna enkulu layo yesaba, isisazi ukuthi ungumRoma, lokuthi ibimbophile.
Paul ninyia tvvka jinv nyi vdwv vjakpigobv ninyigv kochingbv daksum nyato; okv orto jinv nyigam angv Paul Roman nyi gupv kunyi okv ninyia jaakobv leeto kubv vla mvngdin lakula hv busutoku.
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.
