Imisebenzi 4
1 Kwathi besakhuluma ebantwini, abapristi lenduna yethempeli labaSadusi babafikela,
Omwanya Petro na Yohana ao bhaga mbaroma na bhanu, bhakuhani no mulindi wa lihekalu na bhasadukayo bhabhalubhire.
2 benengekile ngoba babefundisa abantu, njalo betshumayela ukuvuka kwabafileyo ngoJesu.
Bhaliga bhabhiiliwe muno ku njuno Petro na Yohana bhaliga mbeigisha abhanu kurubhara lwa Yesu no kwaika inguru yo kusuluka kwaye okusoka ku bhafuye.
3 Babadumela ngezandla, babafaka esitokisini kwaze kwaba kusisa; ngoba kwasekuhlwile.
Bhabhagwatile no kubhatura mwibhoyelo mpaka katondo eyo yarubhiye, kwo kubha yaga yakingile kegoro.
4 Kodwa abanengi abalizwayo ilizwi bakholwa; lenani lamadoda lalingaba zinkulungwane ezinhlanu.
Nawe abhanu bhanfu abho bhaga bhonguwe omusango bhekilisishe; na bharume abho bhaga bhekilisishe yaga bhali kuti bhiumbi bhitanu.
5 Kwasekusithi kusisa kwabuthana ababusi labadala lababhali babo eJerusalema,
Yejire yakinga katondo olusiku olwo rwalubhire, ati abhakuru bhebhwe abhakaruka na bhandiki kwa amwi bhekofyanyisishe Yerusalemu.
6 loAnasi umpristi omkhulu, loKayafasi, loJohane, loAleksandro, labo bonke abendlu yompristi omkhulu.
Anasi omugabhisi omukuru aliga alio, na Kayafa, na Yohana, na Iskanda, na bhona abho bhaliga bhali bhabho no mugabhisi omukuru.
7 Sebebamise phakathi, babuza: Lokhu lina likwenze ngawaphi amandla kumbe ngaliphi ibizo?
Ao yaga bhabhateye Petro na Yohana agati yebhwe, mbabhabhusha, “Kwo bhuturo ki, au kwa lisina ki mukorere linu?”
8 Khona uPetro egcwaliswe nguMoya oNgcwele wathi kubo: Babusi babantu labadala bakoIsrayeli,
Niwo, Petro, ejuye Omwoyo Omweru, nabhabhwira, “Emwe abhakuru bha bhanu, na bhakaruka,
9 nxa thina sibuzwa lamuhla ngomsebenzi omuhle emuntwini obuthakathaka emzimbeni, ukuthi yena usiliswe ngani;
labha eswe olusiku lwa lelo echibhusibhwa kurubhara lwe chikorwa che kisi echo chakorwa ku munu unu omurwaye - ni kutiki omunu unu akorerwe muanga?
10 kakwaziwe yini lonke laso sonke isizwe sakoIsrayeli, ukuthi ngebizo likaJesu Kristu umNazaretha, lina elambethelayo, uNkulunkulu owamvusayo kwabafileyo, ngaye lo umi lapha phambi kwenu esesilile.
Mbe limenyekane eryo kwemwe na kubhanu bhona agati ya Israeli, ati kwa lisina lya Yesu Kristo wa Nazareti, oyo mwabhambire, oyo Nyamuanga amusuluye okusoka mu bhafuye, ni kwa injira yaye ati omunu unu emereguyu imbele yemwe ali no bhuanga.
11 Yena lo uyilitshe elaliwa yini abakhi, eseliyinhloko yengonsi.
Yesu Kristo ni bhwiyi eryo emwe abhombaki mwaligaile, nawe eryo likorerwe okubha libhwiyi enene lya kumbari.
12 Njalo kalukho usindiso komunye; ngoba kalikho lelinye ibizo ngaphansi kwezulu elinikiweyo phakathi kwabantu, esimele sisindiswe ngalo.
Gutalio omweruro ku munu undi wona uliya. Kwo kubha litalio lisina lindi emwaro yo rwire eryo bhayanile abhanu, kweryo echitura okwirurwa.”
13 Kwathi bebona isibindi sikaPetro loJohane, njalo besazi ukuthi babengabantu abangafundanga njalo bengabantu nje, bamangala, njalo babazi ukuthi babeloJesu,
Mbe bhejile bharora obhuigi bhwa Petro na Yohana, na mbamenya ati bhaliga bhali bhanu bha kawaida bhatali ne chisomo, mbarugula, mbamenya ati Petro na Yohana bhabhaga amwi na Yesu.
14 kodwa bebona umuntu osilisiweyo emi labo, babengelakuphika lutho.
Kwo kubha bhamurorere omunu oyo eulisibhwe emereguyu amwi nabho, bhatabheye ne chinu cho kwaika inguru ya linu.
15 Kodwa sebebalayile ukuthi baphume phandle emphakathini, bacebisana bodwa,
Mbe nawe bhejile bhamara okubhabhwira jintumwa bhasoke imbele yo mukutano gwa libharaja, mbaroma abhene kwa bhene.
16 besithi: Sizabenzani lababantu? Ngoba ukuthi isibonakaliso esidumisekayo senziwa yibo, kusobala kubo bonke abahlezi eJerusalema, njalo singekuphike;
Mbaika, echibhakora kutiki abhanu bhanu? Ni chimali ati ebhikumisho bhyo kukuya bhikorerwe okutura kubhene eimenyekana ku bhuli umwi oyo ekaye Yerusalemu; chitakutura kulirema eryo.
17 kodwa ukuze kungabe kusanda phakathi kwabantu, asibaqonqosele ukuthi bangabe besakhuluma lamuntu ngalelibizo.
Mbe nawe, omusango gunu gutasugana mu bhanu, hebu chibhaganye bhataroma ku munu wona wona kwa lisina linu.
18 Basebebabiza, babalaya ukuthi bangakhulumi lakanye njalo bangafundisi ngebizo likaJesu.
Mbabhabhirikila Petro na Yohana munyumba no kubhaganya bhataroma chimwi norwo okwiigisha kwa lisina lya Yesu.
19 Kodwa uPetro loJohane babaphendula bathi: Yehlukanisani ukuthi kulungile phambi kukaNkulunkulu ukulalela lina kuloNkulunkulu.
Mbe nawe Petro na Yohana bhabhasubhishe no kubhabhwira ati, “Labha ni kisi mumeso ga Nyamuanga okubhongwa emwe kuliko Nyamuanga, muramure abhene.
20 Ngoba thina kasilakuyekela ukukhuluma izinto esizibonileyo lesizizwileyo.
Kwo kubha eswe chitakutura kusiga kuroma emisango ejo cholorere no kujungwa.”
21 Kwathi sebebaqonqosele futhi, babayekela bahamba; bengatholi lutho lokuthi bangabajezisa njani, ngenxa yabantu, ngoba bonke badumisa uNkulunkulu ngalokho okwenzakeleyo.
Bhejire kubhafunda muno Petro na Yohana, mbabhasiga bhagende. Bhataturire okubhona injuno yona yona yo kubhayana, kwo kubha abhanu bhona bhaliga mbamusima Nyamuanga ku chinu echo yaga chikorekene.
22 Ngoba umuntu wayeleminyaka edlula amatshumi amane esenziwa kuye lesisibonakaliso seselapho.
Omunu oyo yaga alamiye ebhikumusho bhyo kwiulisibhwa aliga ali ne myaka kuti makumi gana.
23 Kwathi sebeyekelwe basuka baya kwabakibo, bababikela konke abapristi abakhulu labadala abakutshiloyo kubo.
Bhejile bhamara okubhatatira, Petro na Yohana mbaja kubhanu bhebhwe no kubhabhwira gona ago abhagabhisi abhakuru na bhakaruka bhabhabhwiliye.
24 Kwathi bona sebezwile baphakamisela ilizwi nganhliziyonye kuNkulunkulu, bathi: Nkosi, wena unguNkulunkulu owenza izulu lomhlaba lolwandle lakho konke okukukho;
Bhejire bhongwa, mbasabhwa kwo bhuraka bhunene kwa amwi ku Nyamuanga mbaika a ti, “Omukama, we oyo ukonjere orwire ne chalo na inyanja na bhuli chinu echo chilimo,
25 owathi ngomlomo wenceku yakho uDavida: Kungani abezizwe bexokozela, labantu banakane okuyize?
awe oyo, kwo Mwoyo Omweru, kwo munwa gwa lata weswe Daudi, omukosi wao, waikile ati, “Kulwaki abhanu bha maanga abhakora obhusambe, na abhanu abheganirisha emisango ejo jiteire?
26 Amakhosi omhlaba ema, lababusi bahlangana ndawonye ukumelana leNkosi, lokumelana loGcotshiweyo wayo;
Abhakama bha insi bhemereguyu amwi, na bhatongi bhekumanyishe amwi zidi yo Mukama na zidi ya masihi waye.”
27 ngoba isibili bahlangana ndawonye bemelane leNdodana yakho engcwele uJesu, owayigcobayo, bonke uHerodi loPontiyusi Pilatu, kanye labezizwe labantu bakoIsrayeli,
Okubha ni chimali, bhona Herode na Pontio Pilato, amwi na abhanu bha maanga na abhanu bha Israeli, bhekofyanyishe amwi ku musi gunu inguru yo mukosi wao omweru Yesu, oyo wamubhabhagile amafuta.
28 ukwenza konke isandla sakho lecebo lakho elakumisa phambili ukuthi kwenzeke.
Bhekofyanishe amwi okukora gona ago okubhoko kwao no kwenda kwao kwaramuye okusoka kubhwambiro gachali okusokerera.
29 Njalo ngalesisikhathi, Nkosi, khangela ukusonga kwabo, unike izinceku zakho ukuthi zikhulume ilizwi lakho ngesibindi sonke,
Oli, Omukama, nugalore okukanga kwebhwe, na ubhayane amanaga abhakosi bhao okwaika omusango gwao kwo bhuigi bhwona,
30 ngokuthi welule isandla sakho ukusilisa, lokuthi kwenziwe izibonakaliso lezimangaliso ngebizo leNdodana yakho engcwele uJesu.
ugorore okubhoko kwao okwiulisha, ebhibharikisho ne bhiruguro bhiture okusokerera okulabha kwi sina lyo mukosi wao omweru Yesu.
31 Kwathi sebekhulekile kwazanyazanyiswa indawo ababebuthene kuyo, basebegcwaliswa bonke ngoMoya oNgcwele, basebekhuluma ilizwi likaNkulunkulu ngesibindi.
Bhejile bhamara okusabha, orubhara orwo bhekofyanyishe amwi nurusingishwa, na bhona mbejura Omwoyo Omweru, na mbaika omusango gwa Nyamuanga kwo bhuigi.
32 Lexuku labakholwayo lalinhliziyonye lomoya munye; njalo kungekho oyedwa owathi ezintweni alazo ngezakhe, kodwa bahlanganyela izinto zonke.
Obhukumi bhwanfu bhwa bho bhekirisishe bhaliga bhali no mutima gumwi no mwoyo gumwi: na ataliwo norwo umwi webhwe oyo aikile ati chona chona ali nacho chaliga chili chaye omwene; atali bhaliga bhali ne bhinu bhyona bhasagiye.
33 Langamandla amakhulu abaphostoli baveza ubufakazi bokuvuka kweNkosi uJesu, lomusa omkhulu waba phezu kwabo bonke.
Kwa managa manfu jintumwa bhaliga mbarasha obhubhambasi bhwebhwe kurubhara rwo bhusuruko bhwo Mukama Yesu, ne chigongo chinene chaliga chili inguru yebhwe bhona.
34 Ngoba kwakungekho futhi oswelayo phakathi kwabo; ngoba bonke ababengabanikazi bemihlaba kumbe izindlu, bathengisa baletha intengo zalokho okuthengisiweyo,
Aliga ataliwo omunu wona wona amwi yebhwe oyo aliga alebherwe obhukene, ku njuno abhanu bhona abho bhaliga bhali na jinsambu amwi jinyumba, bhagusishe mbaleta jiyela je bhinu ebhyo bhagusishe
35 bayibeka enyaweni zabaphostoli; njalo kwabelwa ngulowo lalowo njengokuswela kwakhe.
no kubhitura emwaro ya maguru ga jintumwa. No mugabho gwakorekene ku bhuli mwikirisha, okwingana na bhuli umwi kutyo aliga ali no bhukene.
36 Kwathi uJose owabizwa ngabaphostoli ngokuthi nguBarnabasi, okuyikuthi ngokuphendulelwa, indodana yenduduzo, umLevi, umKuprosi ngokuzalwa,
Yusufu, omulawi, omunu okusoka Kipro, ayanilwe lisina lya Barnabasi na jintumwa (eyo nigajurwa ati, ni mwana wo kusilisha).
37 elesiqinti, wasithengisa, waletha imali, wayibeka enyaweni zabaphostoli.
Aliga ali na lisambu, naligusha naleta jimpirya, najitura ansi ya maguru ga jintumwa.
