Imisebenzi 23

1 UPawuli wasewujolozela umphakathi wathi: Madoda bazalwane, mina ngihambile phambi kukaNkulunkulu ngesazela sonke esihle, kuze kube lamuhla.

Hagi Poli'a kanisol vahe zamufi keankere'neno anage hu'ne, Nenafugate nagra magore hu'na havizana osu'noe. Fatgo huno ama' nagu'nagesare Anumzamofo avurera mani'na ena ama knarera ehanatue.

2 Kodwa uAnaniya umpristi omkhulu walaya labo ababemi phansi kwakhe ukuthi bamtshaye umlomo.

Anagema higeno, ugagota pristi ne' Ananaisi'a anante oti'naza vaheku Polina agi ruhapatitma aheho huzmante'ne.

3 UPawuli wasesithi kuye: UNkulunkulu uzakutshaya, mduli oconjwe waba mhlophe; ngoba wena uhlalele ukungahlulela ngomlayo, kanti ngokuphambene lomlayo ulaya ukuthi ngitshaywe?

Anante Poli'a anage agrikura hu'ne, Anumzamo'a kagrira kahegahie. Kagra amega fatgo hu'na knare hu'noe nehananagi, kagu'afinka haviza hu'nane! Kagra amare mani'nenka kasegemo'ma hu'nere antenka refako hunenantane. Kasegea rutagarenka aheho hunka hunezmantano?

4 Lababemi lapho bathi: Uyamthuka umpristi omkhulu kaNkulunkulu yini?

Ana tva'onte oti'naza vahe'mo'za anage hu'naze, kagra Anumzamofo hai pristi ne' huhaviza huntenaku nehampi? Hu'za hazageno,

5 UPawuli wasesithi: Bengingazi, bazalwane, ukuthi ungumpristi omkhulu; ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: Ungakhulumi kubi ngombusi wesizwe sakini.

Poli'a kenona zamire anage hu'ne, nenafugata ugagota pristi ne' mani'ne hu'na nagra ontahi'noe, na'ankure anage huno avon tafepina krente'ne, kagri vahete'ma kva hu'nea vahera huhavizana huonto hu'ne. (Eks-Ati 22:28.)

6 Kwathi uPawuli esekwazi ukuthi enye ingxenye yabo ingabaSadusi, lenye ingabaFarisi, wamemeza emphakathini wathi: Madoda bazalwane, mina ngingumFarisi, indodana yomFarisi; ngethemba langokuvuka kwabafileyo mina ngiyahlulelwa.

Anante Polima nezmagege'za anama eri tru hu'naza vahepina, Satusi vahe'ene mago'a Farisi vahe mani'nageno nezmageno, ranke huno anage hu'ne, Nafu naganaheta nagra Farisi neki, nenfa'a Farisi ne'mo kasenantege'na mani'noe. Nagri'ma kema hunenantazana, nagrama namentinti hu'na fripinti otigahie hu'na huazanku kea hunenantaze!

7 Kwathi esetshilo lokhu, kwavela ukuphikisana kwabaFarisi labaSadusi, lexuku ladabuka phakathi;

Anage'ma hige'za, Farisi vahe'ene Satusi vahe'mo'za atruma hu'nafinti amu'nompinti refako hu'za ana kegu fra vazi'naze.

8 ngoba abaSadusi bathi kakukho ukuvuka kwabafileyo, loba ingilosi, loba umoya; kodwa abaFarisi bayakuvuma kokubili.

Na'ankure Satusi vahe'mo'za fripinti o'otigahie nehu'za, ankero vahera omanine nehu'za, avamura omani'ne hu'nazanagi, Farisi vahe'mo'za ana maka'zana me'ne hu'za antahi'naze.

9 Kwasekuvela ukumemeza okukhulu; kwathi ababhali behlelo labaFarisi basukuma baphika kakhulu besithi: Kasitholi bubi kulumuntu; kodwa nxa umoya kumbe ingilosi kukhulume laye, kasingalwi simelene loNkulunkulu.

Anampinti kezati'za ranke hu'za kea nehazage'za, mago'a Farisi nagapinti kasegere ugagota hu'naza vahe'mo'za oti'za hanave ke hu'za, Mago hazenke'a ama nera keta eri forera osu'none. Avamu'mo'o, ankeromo'ma kema huminesigeno'a na'a hugahie?

10 Kwathi sekuvele ukuphikisana okukhulu, induna enkulu yesaba ukuthi uPawuli uzadatshulwa yibo, yalaya amabutho ukuthi ahle amhluthule phakathi kwabo, njalo abuyele laye enkambeni yamabutho.

Tusi ke hafra nehazageno, Romu sondia kva ne'mo aru Poli avazu hu'za azeri taganape'zanku sondia vahera huzamanteno, uramitma Polina hanavetitma zamagripintira avaretma sondia vahe kumapi efareho hu'ne.

11 Njalo ngobusuku obulandelayo iNkosi yema phansi kwakhe yathi: Mana isibindi Pawuli; ngoba njengalokhu ufakaze izinto ngami eJerusalema, kunjalo-ke umele ufakaze leRoma.

Ana kenage Ramo'a Polina tava'oma'are oti'neno anage huno asami'ne, Oti hanavetio, Jerusalema Nagri nagi nagenke huama hu'nanaza hunka Romu kumatera anazanke hunka ome huama hugahane.

12 Kwathi sekusile, abanye bamaJuda benza iqhinga, bazibopha ngesiqalekiso, besithi kabayikudla lokunatha baze bambulale uPawuli.

Ko'atige'za nanterampi mago'a Jiu vahe'mo'za eri atru hu'za, hanave ke huvempa hu'za Polima ahesnaza naneke retro nehu'za, ne'zane tine a'o huta mani'neta Polina ahesunkeno frisnie, hu'za huhankaveti'za kea retro hu'naze.

13 Njalo babengaphezu kwamatshumi amane abenza lesisifungo ndawonye;

Anampima nanekema hu'za retro'ma hu'nazana 40'a vahera agatere'za mani'ne'za retro hu'naze.

14 abaya kubapristi abakhulu labadala bathi: Sizibophe ngesiqalekiso esikhulu, sokuthi kasiyikudla lutho size simbulale uPawuli.

Zamagra ugota pristi vahete'ene mono kva (elda) vahe'zagare vu'za anage ome hu'naze. Tagra kea huvempa huta mago'zana one'mani'neta, Polina ahe farigahune hu'za hu'naze.

15 Ngakho khathesi lina kanye lomphakathi yazisani induna enkulu, ukuze imthume kini kusasa, ngokungathi lizazwisisa okunengi ngendaba zakhe; thina-ke, engakasondeli, sesilungele ukumbulala.

Hanki menina kagrane, kanisol vahe'motma sondia kva vaheku ke eri fatgo hugahunanki avreta eramiho hinke'za, avare'za eramisnageta, amare erava'o osu'nenageta kantega kavagrita mani'neta, ahe frisune.

16 Kodwa indodana kadadewabo kaPawuli yezwa ngokumcathamela, yeza yangena enkambeni yamabutho, yamtshela uPawuli.

Hianagi Polina nesaro ne' mofavremo ahegahune hazanke nentahino, eno sondia vahe kumapi efareno Polina kahe ke nehaze huno asami'ne.

17 UPawuli wasebizela kuye enye yezinduna zekhulu wathi: Sana lelijaha enduneni enkulu; ngoba lilento elizayitshela yona.

Poli'a mago kina vahete kva ne' (sensulien), ke huno asami'ne, Avarenka ama arisera ugagota sondia kva nete vuo, na'ankure mago'a kea agra ome asamigahie huno huntene.

18 Yasilithatha-ke yalisa enduneni enkulu, yasisithi: UPawuli isibotshwa ungibizele kuye wacela ukuthi ngilethe lelijaha kuwe, lilento elizakutshela yona.

Ana higeno hantreti'a sondia vahete kva ne'mo (sensulien, ) ana arisera avareno ugagota sondia kva nete vuno, Poli'a hunanteno avarenka ama arisera ugagota sondia kva ne'te vuo, na'ankure agra mago'a kea ome asamigahie, hige'na avare'na e'noe.

19 Induna enkulu yasilithatha ngesandla, yasibuyela eceleni bebodwa, yabuza: Kuyini ozongitshela khona?

Ana ugagota sondia kva ne'mo azante avazuhuganti ataregene, zanagraku umani'neke, anage huno antahige'ne, Na'ane naneke nasaminaku hu'nane?

20 Laselisithi: AmaJuda avumelene ukucela kuwe, ukuze wehlisele uPawuli emphakathini kusasa, kungathi azahlolisisa ngcono ulutho ngaye.

Ana arise'mo'a anage huno asami'ne, Jiu vahe'mo'za mago zamarimpa nehu'za, havige hu'za kantahigesagenka Polina avarenka okina kanisol vahetega uramisanke'za, keaga refako hu'za mago'ene hake'za ke'naku hu'naze.

21 Ngakho wena ungavunyiswa yiwo; ngoba amadoda adlula amatshumi amane kuwo amcathamele, azibophe ngesiqalekiso ngokuthi angadli anganathi aze ambulale; lakhathesi alungile elindele isithembiso sakho.

Ana hu'negu zamatrege'za anara osiho, na'ankure 40'a nazana agatere'naza vahe'mo'za ahe'nakura hu'naze. Zamagra kea huvempa hu'za, ne'zane tine oneneta ahe frigahune nehu'za menina zamagri kere'ma mago karimpa hananku, kavega ante'za mani'naze.

22 Ngakho induna enkulu yasiliyekela ijaha lahamba, ililaya isithi: Ungatsheli muntu ukuthi ungibikele lezizinto.

Anante ugagota sondia kva ne'mo'a ana risera hunenteno, hamponage asamino, vanunka ama nanekea kva nera ome asami'noe hunka, mago'mofona osamitfa huo.

23 Yasibizela kuyo induna zekhulu ezithile ezimbili, yathi: Lungisani abebutho abangamakhulu amabili ukuze bahambe baze bayefika eKesariya, labagadi bamabhiza abangamatshumi ayisikhombisa, labemikhonto abangamakhulu amabili, kusukela ngehola lesithathu lobusuku;

Anante ugagota sondia kva ne'mo, sondia vahete kva ne'tre (sensulien), ke higeke akeno, anage huno zanasmi'ne, 200'a sondia vahera huge'za Siseria kumate vugahazanki tro hiho, anampina 70'a hosifi vano nehu'za ha' nehaza sondia vaheki 200'a karugaru kevereti ha' nehaza sondia vaheki hu'za meni kenagera 9 kiloki vugahazanki tro hiho. Polina hosi afu'zagafintira mago'a amigeno agumpi manina avaretma kva huntetma, Gavana ne' Feliksinte viho huno zamasmi'ne.

24 lungisani lezinyamazana, ukuze ligadise uPawuli limfikise ephephile kumbusi uFelike;

Polina hosi afu'zagafintira mago'a amigeno agumpi manina avaretma kva huntetma Gavana ne' Feliksinte viho huno zamasmi'ne.

25 wabhala incwadi imumethe lokhu:

Agra avoma kre'neana amanahu kante kre tre'ne,

26 Klawudiyosi Lisiya kumhlekazi umbusi uFelike ngiyabingelela.

Nagra Klautiusi Lisiasi'na, knare Gavana kva nemokarega Feliksiga musenke kre'negamue,

27 Lindoda ibibanjwe ngamaJuda, njalo ibisizabulawa yiwo, ngafika lamabutho ngayophula, sengizwile ukuthi ungumRoma.

Ama nera Jiu vahe'mo'za azeri'za ahe'za nehazage'na, sondia vahe'niane e'na aza hu'na avare'noe. Na'ankure nagrama antahuana Romu ne' mani'noe higeta avareta e'none.

28 Ngathi ngifuna ukuthi ngazi isizatho ayimangalela ngaso, ngayehlisela emphakathini wawo;

Na'anteku nanekea hunentazo nagra antahinaku, zamagri kanisol vahete avare'na urami'noe.

29 engathi ngithola ukuthi imangalelwe ngemibuzo yomlayo wawo, kodwa ingamangalelwanga ngalutho olufanele ukufa loba izibopho.

Nagrama ke'na erifore'ma huana, zamagra'zimi kasegereku hu'za ke hakare hunte'naze. Hianagi ahe fri kankamune kina hunte kea kena eri fore osu'noe.

30 Kwathi sekuvelile kimi ukuthi kwasekuzakuba khona iqhinga ngalindoda ngamaJuda, ngahle ngayithuma kuwe, ngibalayile futhi abamangaleli ukuthi bakhulume izinto ababemelene layo ngazo phambi kwakho. Sala kuhle.

Ahenaku kema retro'ma haza naneke eme nenasmige'na, ama nera ame hu'na kagritega huntogeno ne-egena, ke ha'ma rentaza vahera magoka kagri kavure kea huntesazegu huzmantoge'za neaze huno krente'ne.

31 Abebutho-ke, njengokulaywa kwabo, bamthatha uPawuli, bamusa eAntipatri ngobusuku.

Ana hige'za sondia vahe'mo'za kema huzmantea kante ante'za, Polina avre'za kenageke Antipatrisi rankumate vunaku vu'naze.

32 Njalo kusisa, batshiya abagadi bamabhiza ukuthi bahambe laye, babuyela enkambeni yamabutho;

Mase'za nantera hosifima vano hu'za ha' nehaza sondia vahera zamatrage'za avare'za vazage'za, mago'amo'za ete sondia vahe kumatega e'naze.

33 okwathi sebefikile eKesariya, bamnika umbusi incwadi, bammisa loPawuli phambi kwakhe.

Hosifima vano nehu'za ha'ma nehaza vahe'mo'za Sisariama e'za ana avona Gavana ne'ma eme nemi'za, Polina eme ami'naze.

34 Kwathi umbusi eseyifundile incwadi, wasebuza ukuthi ungowawuphi umkhono; esezwile ukuthi ungoweKilikhiya,

Ana Gavana ne'mo'ma avoma hamprino nentahino, anage huno antahige'ne, Kagra ina provinsifinti nere? Higeno Poli'a huno, Nagra Sirisia nere higeno antahiteno,

35 wathi: Ngizakuzwa, sebefikile labamangaleli bakho. Waselaya ukuthi alondolozwe endlini kaHerodi yokwahlulela.

anage hu'ne, kema hugante'naza vahe'ma esage'na, keka'a antahigahue. Higeno anante Heroti kina nompi Polina avaretma ome anteho hu'ne.
