Udadaye ua pablio akhatamwa liliekhuvava eilitumbu alikhuhaliesya. upavuli akhaluta khumwe akhadoovela, akahavieka amavoko pantwe gwa mwene akhapona.
9 Ngakho lokho sekwenzakele, beza labanye ababesesihlengeni ababelezifo basebesiliswa;
Vuvalolie inchi inchihumile, avanu avingi avamukhisiva khila avale vatamuvakhaluta vope vakhapona.
10 abasidumisa langodumo olunengi, njalo mhla sisukayo ngomkhumbi, basethesa izinto ezidingekayo.
Avanu valiekhutudwada khulisima ilivaha. vutwikhola ukhuhega tugeendage, vakhatupa ifinu fyoni ifyutwalonga.
11 Kwathi emva kwenyanga ezintathu sasuka ngomkhumbi weAleksandriya, owawuhlezi ebusika esihlengeni, ulophawu oluthiwa ngoDiyosikuroyi.
Vugiesilie imyeenchi geidatu tukhageenda mungalava iya isakanda yiyobomoliwe niemepu pala pakhisiva, yiyo avalongonchi vayene vale mapasya vavile uyunge ale vie kasta nu polukusi.
12 Sasesifika eSirakhuse sahlala insuku ezintathu;
Twavile tufikhe khukhilunga ikya silakusa, twatamile pala amachuva gadatu.

Ukhuhuma pala tukhageenda tukhafika khukhilunga ikya legio, vulilutile ilinchuva limo imepo iya khusikha yiekhincha imbieve, tukhagenda manchuva gavili tukhilkunga ikya putoli.
14 lapho esafica khona abazalwane, sacelwa ukuhlala labo insuku eziyisikhombisa; ngokunjalo saya-ke eRoma.
Ukwa tukhavavona navalukhololweto, vakhatupokhela vunonu tukhatama nawo amanchuva saba pwutukha hegha ukhuluta impakha khu roma.
15 Njalo besuka lapho abazalwane sebezwile izinto ngathi, beza ukusihlangabeza baze bafika eApiyi Foruma leNdlini zeZihambi eziNtathu; okwathi uPawuli ebabona, wabonga uNkulunkulu, wema isibindi.
Avalukhololwetu avakhu loma vuvapulikhe inongwa nchitu, vakhincha khukhotwupilila khuliguunchi ilya apiasi upwuvieta “migahava giedatu”. vakhansana u Nghuluve.
16 Sathi sesifike eRoma, induna yekhulu yanikela izibotshwa enduneni yabalindi; kodwa uPawuli wavunyelwa ukuhlala yedwa, lowebutho omlindayo.
Vutufikhe khu loma, upavuli vakhatavula ukhutama mwene nundindilinchi uviandolelaga.
17 Kwasekusithi emva kwensuku ezintathu uPawuli wabizela ndawonye labo abangabakhulu bamaJuda; sebebuthene, wathi kubo: Madoda bazalwane, mina kangenzanga lutho oluphambene lesizwe kumbe lamasiko abobaba, ngiyisibotshwa ngivela eJerusalema nganikelwa ezandleni zamaRoma;
Vughlutile amanchuva ghudatu upavuli akhavielanga avaghosi uvuvale valongonchi muva yahudi. vuvinchile paninie, akhanchova akhata, “valunkololwangwa une sanienangile khinu khulyumwe khuvanu ava apange ukhuvomba umusavakhanogwagwa mumigeendele igya dada vienyo avatalile, une vanoili ndunkungwa ukhuhuma khu yelusalemu ukhugugaa mumavokho agavaloma.
18 wona esengihlolile afuna ukungikhulula, ngoba kungekho kimi cala elifanele ukufa.
Avene vuvikhumbuncha valikhuvona nilievuvule einogwa valikhunogwa inchikhumbiekha ukhuta niehigiwe ukhufwa.
19 Kodwa amaJuda ala, ngacindezeleka ukulidlulisela kuKesari, kungeyisikho ukuthi ngilolutho olokumangalela isizwe sakithi.
Ulwakhuva avayahudi vakhanchova vakhapiendula umuvienogwa avene, une pwuniekhadova kwa kaisari, khuta inongwa yango yilutage kuvulongolo, ulwakhuva sanaleta inongwa ya nkilunga kyango.
20 Ngakho ngenxa yalesisizatho ngilibizele lapha ukuthi ngilibone ngikhulume lani; ngoba ngenxa yethemba likaIsrayeli ngizingelezelwe ngaleliketane.
Ulwakhuva natile inongwa yango yillutaghe kuvulongolo, pwunikhadova ukhuta nienchove numwe. ulwakhuva uluhuvilo lwa islaeli lukhungiwe nunyololo.
21 Basebesithi kuye: Thina kasemukelanga izincwadi ngawe ezivela eJudiya, futhi loba ngubani wabazalwane, esefikile, kabikanga kumbe akhulume lutho olubi ngawe.
Vakhambula vakhata, “satwupilile inkhalata ukhuhuma khuvayahudi iyiekhukhunchova uuve, hange asikhuli ululkololwo uvieinchile kwinchova eilimenyu eilivivi eililoncha khulyuve.
22 Kodwa sifisa ukuzwa izinto ozinakanayo wena; ngoba mayelana lalobububhazuka siyazi ukuthi buyaphikiswa endaweni zonke.
Leino pwutwinogwa ukhupulikha khuluyve vusaga khihki khuvanu ava, ilwakhuva guupuliekhikhi khwoni ukhuta savikhwidihana ukhukhongana.
23 Njalo kwathi sebemmisele usuku, abanengi beza kuye endlini yezihambi; owabachasisela wafakaza umbuso kaNkulunkulu, ebancenga ngezinto zikaJesu, ethathela emlayweni kaMozisi kanye labaprofethi, kusukela ekuseni kakhulu kwaze kwaba kusihlwa.

Akhata, ulutage khuvanu ava ukhatiinchage, “khumbulukhutu nchiento mupulikhagha hange samukhanchimanyage; khumiho gienyo muiolaga hange siimukhanchinovage.
27 Ngoba inhliziyo yalesisizwe seyaba buthundu, njalo bezwa kanzima ngendlebe, lamehlo abo bawacimezile; hlezi babone ngamehlo, njalo bezwe ngendlebe, futhi baqedisise ngenhliziyo, njalo baphenduke, besengibasilisa.
Ukhuva inumbula incha vanu ava ndekhedekhe, imbuluukhutu nchaveni sanchipulika vunonu, amiho gavene, nukhupulikha khumbulukhutu nchavo, inumbua nchavo nchilumanyage nukhusyetukha une nikhuvapokha.
