Imisebenzi 9
1 Kwathi uSawuli, esaphefumula insongo lokubulala emelane labafundi beNkosi, waya kumpristi omkhulu,
E HA aku ana o Saulo i ka olelo hooweliweli, a me ka luku aku i na haumana a ka Haku, hele aku la ia i ke kahuna nui,
2 wacela kuye incwadi zokuya eDamaseko kumasinagoge, ukuze kuthi uba ethola abanye baleyondlela, amadoda kanye labafazi, abalethe eJerusalema bebotshiwe.
Nonoi aku la i mau palapala no na halehalawai ma Damaseko, ina loaa ia ia kekahi mau mea no keia aoao, na kane paha, na wahine paha, e alakai mai no oia ia lakou me ka nakinakiia ma Ierusalema.
3 Kwathi ekuhambeni, kwenzeka ukuthi esesondele eDamaseko; njalo kwahle kwamphazimela inhlangothi zonke ukukhanya okuvela ezulwini;
A i kona hele ana aku, a kokoke ia i hiki i Damaseko, anapu koko mai a puni iho la ia i ka malamalama mai ka lani mai.
4 njalo ewela emhlabathini, wezwa ilizwi lisithi kuye: Sawuli, Sawuli, ungizingelelani?
Hina iho la i ka honua, e lohe aku la ia i leo, i ka i ana mai ia ia. E Saulo, e Saulo, no ke aha la oe e hoomaau mai nei ia'u?
5 Wasesithi: Ungubani, Nkosi? INkosi yasisithi: Mina nginguJesu omzingelayo; kulukhuni kuwe ukukhahlelana lezincijo.
I aku la ia, Owai oe, e ka Haku? I mai la ka Haku, O Iesu no wau ka mea au e hoomaau mai nei. O ke keehi ana i na mea oioi, he mea ia e eha ai nou.
6 Ethuthumela njalo emangala wathi: Nkosi, uthanda ukuthi ngenzeni? LeNkosi yathi kuye: Sukuma ungene emzini, njalo uzatshelwa lokho omele ukwenze.
I aku la ia me ka hopohopo a me ka haalulu, e ka Haku, heaha kou makemake e hana aku ai au? I mai la ka Haku ia ia, E ala oe iluna, a e hele i ke kulauakauhale, a e haiia no ia oe ka mea pono nau e hana aku ai.
7 Lamadoda ayehamba laye ayemi engelakukhuluma, esizwa ilizwi, kodwa engaboni muntu.
A o na kanaka e hele pu ana me ia, ku iho la lakou me ka leopaa, ua lohe no lakou i ka leo, aole nae i ike aku i kekahi mea.
8 USawuli wasevuka emhlabathini; kwathi esevule amehlo akhe, kabonanga muntu. Basebembamba ngesandla, bamusa eDamaseko.
Ala mai la o Saulo, mai ka honua mai, oaka ae la kona mau maka, aole nae ia i ike i kekahi mea. Alakai lima aku Ia lakou ia ia a hiki aku i Damaseko.
9 Wasesiba lensuku ezintathu engaboni, njalo engadli futhi enganathi.
Ekolu la o kona ike ole ana, aole ia i ai, aole no hoi i inu.
10 Kwakukhona eDamaseko umfundi othile uAnaniya ngebizo; iNkosi yasisithi kuye ngombono: Ananiya! Wasesithi: Khangela ngilapha, Nkosi.
Aia no ma Damaseko, kekahi haumana, o Anania kona inoa. I mai la ka Haku ia ia ma ka hihio, E Anania, I aku la kela, Eia no wau, e ka Haku.
11 INkosi yasisithi kuye: Sukuma uye endleleni ethiwa iQondile, udinge endlini kaJudasi umuntu, uSawuli ngebizo, weTarsu; ngoba khangela uyakhuleka,
I mai la ka Haku ia ia, E ku, a e hele ma ke kuamoo, i kapaia o Pololei, ma ka hale o Iuda, e imi i kekahi mea i kapaia o Saulo, no Tareso, no ka mea, aia hoi, ke pule la ia.
12 njalo ubonile ngombono umuntu, uAnaniya ngebizo, engena ebeka isandla phezu kwakhe, ukuze abuye abone.
A ma ka hihio oia i ike aku ai i kekahi kanaka, o Anania kona inoa, e hele mai ana, a kau i ka lima maluna ona, i ike ia.
13 Kodwa uAnaniya waphendula wathi: Nkosi, ngizwile ngabanengi ngalindoda, kungakanani okubi akwenzileyo kwabangcwele bakho eJerusalema;
I aku la o Anania, E ka Haku e, ua nui loa na mea a'u i lohe ai i ua kanaka la, i ka nui o ka hewa ana i hana aku ai i kou poe haipule ma Ierusalema.
14 lalapha ulamandla avela kubapristi abakhulu, okubopha bonke labo ababiza ibizo lakho.
Ua loaa no hoi ia ia ka mana na ke kahuna nui mai, e hoopaa i na mea a pau i hea aku i kou inoa.
15 Kodwa iNkosi yathi kuye: Hamba, ngoba lowo uyisitsha sami esikhethiweyo, ukuphatha ibizo lami phambi kwezizwe lamakhosi, labantwana bakoIsrayeli;
I mai la ka Haku ia ia, O hele: no ka mea, he ipu i kohoia na'u oia nei, e lawe aka ai i ko'u inoa imua o ko na aina e, a me na'lii, a me na mamo a Iaeraela.
16 ngoba mina ngizamtshengisa ukuthi umele ukuhlupheka kangakanani ngenxa yebizo lami.
No ka mea, e hoike aku ana au ia ia i ka nui o kona ohaeha ana no ko'u nei inoa.
17 UAnaniya wasesuka wangena endlini, wabeka izandla zakhe phezu kwakhe esithi: Sawuli mzalwane, iNkosi ingithumile, uJesu obonakele kuwe endleleni oze ngayo, ukuze ubuye ubone njalo ugcwaliswe ngoMoya oNgcwele.
Holo aku la o Anania a komo aka la i ka hale; a kau aku la i kona mau lima maluna ona, i aku la, E Saulo, e ke kaikaina, na hoouna mai nei ka Haku ia'u, o Iesu, ka mea au i ike ai ma ke ala au i hele mai ai, i ike oe, a i piha hoi i ka Uhane Hemolele.
18 Kwahle kwawa emehlweni akhe kwangathi zinkwethu, wahle wabuye wabona, njalo esukuma wabhabhathizwa,
Haule koke iho la mai kona mau maka mai me he mau unahi la, a ike koke iho la ia, a ku mai la, bapetizoia iho la.
19 njalo esedlile wathola amandla. USawuli wasehlala labafundi ababeseDamaseko insuku ezithile.
A i ka lawe ana i ai, ikaika ae la. Noho iho la o Saulo, i kekahi mau la me na haumana ma Damaseko.
20 Wahle-ke watshumayela uKristu emasinagogeni, ukuthi yena uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
Hai koke aku la ia maloko o na halehalawai, ia Iesu, o ke Keiki ia a ke Akua.
21 Njalo bonke abezwayo basanganiseka bathi: Lo kayisuye yini owachitha eJerusalema labo ababiza lelibizo, lalapha uzele lokho ukuthi abaqhube bebotshiwe abase kubapristi abakhulu?
Kahaha iho la ka poe a pau i lohe, i ae la; Aole anei keia ka mea i luku ai i ka poe i hea aku ma keia inoa ma Ierusalema, a hele mai hoi ia nei e lawe ia lakou me ka paa, i na kahuna nui?
22 Kodwa uSawuli waqiniswa kakhulu, wasanganisa amaJuda akhileyo eDamaseko, eqinisa ukuthi lo unguye uKristu.
Mahuahua nui aku la ka ikaika o Saulo: a pilipu ia ia ka poe Iudaio, e noho ana ma Damaseko i kona hoakaka ana, o ka Mesia no keia.
23 Kwathi sezigcwalisiwe insuku ezinengi, amaJuda enza icebo ndawonye ukuthi ambulale;
A hala ia mau la, kukakuka ka poe Iudaio e pepehi ia ia.
24 kodwa iqhinga lawo laziwa nguSawuli. Aselinda emasangweni emini lebusuku, ukuze ambulale;
Ike ae la o Saulo i ka lakou kuka ana. Hoomakakiu aku la lakou ma na puka i ke ao a me ka po e pepehi ia ia.
25 kodwa abafundi bamthatha ebusuku, bamehlisela emthangaleni bemehlisa ngesilulu.
Lawe aku La na haumana ia ia i ka po, a ma ka hinai, hookuu iho la ia ia ilalo, mawaho o ka pa.
26 Kwathi uSawuli esefikile eJerusalema, wazama ukuzihlanganisa labafundi; kodwa bonke bamesaba, bengakholwa ukuthi ungumfundi.
A hiki aku la o Saulo i Ierusalema, hoao aku la ia e hui pu me na haumana, makau mai la lakou a pau ia ia, no ka mea, aole lakou i manao he haumana ia.
27 Kodwa uBarnabasi wamthatha wamusa kubaphostoli, wabalandisela ukuthi uyibone njani iNkosi endleleni, lokuthi ikhulumile kuye, lokuthi eDamaseko ukhulume njani ngesibindi ebizweni likaJesu.
Lalau aku la o Barenaba ia ia, a alakai aku la ia ia i na lunaolelo, a hoakaka aku la i kona ike ana i ka Haku ma ke alanui, a me kana olelo ana mai ia ia, a me kana ao ikaika ana aku ma Damaseko, ma ka inoa o Iesu.
28 Wasehlala labo engena ephuma eJerusalema,
Me lakou pu iho la no ia ma Ierusalema, i ka hele ana aku a i ka hoi ana mai.
29 wasekhuluma ngesibindi ngebizo leNkosi uJesu, wakhuluma njalo futhi ephikisana lamaHelenisiti; kodwa bazama ukumbulala.
A e ao wiwo ole aku ia ma ka inoa o Iesu, me ka hoopaapaa aku i ka poe Helene; a kukakuka iho la lakou e pepehi ia ia.
30 Kodwa abazalwane sebekwazi bamehlisela eKesariya, bamthuma eTarsu.
A ike iho la na hoahanau, lawe aku la lakou ia ia i Kaisareia, a hoouna aku la ia ia i Tareso.
31 Ngakho amabandla kuyo yonke iJudiya leGalili leSamariya aba lokuthula, esakheka, ehamba ekwesabeni iNkosi langenduduzo kaMoya oNgcwele, anda.
A maluhia iho la na ekalesia ma Iudea a pau, a me Galilaia, a me Samaria hoi. Hookupaaia iho la lakou, e hele ana me ka makau i ka Haku, a me ka olioli o ka Uhane Hemolele, a mahuahua iho la lakou.
32 Kwasekusithi uPetro edabula indawo zonke wehlela lakwabangcwele abahlala eLida.
A i ko Petero kaahele ana ma na wahi a pau, hiki ae la ia i ka poe haipule e noho ana ma Luda.
33 Wasefica khona umuntu othile uEneya ngebizo, owayeselele ecansini iminyaka eyisificaminwembili, ome umhlubulo.
Loaa aku la ia ia ilaila kekahi kanaka, o Ainea kona inoa, ua moe ma ka moe no na makahiki ewalu, i ka mai lolo.
34 UPetro wasesithi kuye: Eneya, uJesu Kristu uyakusilisa; sukuma uzendlalele icansi. Njalo wahle wasukuma.
I mai la o Petero ia ia, E Ainea, ke hoola mai nei o Iesu Kristo ia oe; e ku, a nau no e holahola i kou wahi moe. Ku koke ae la ia.
35 Basebembona bonke abakhileyo eLida leSaroni, abaphendukela eNkosini.
O ka poe a pau, e noho ana ma Luda, a ma Sarona, ike aku la lakou ia ia, a huli iho la i ka Haku.
36 Kwakukhona eJopha umfundikazi othile, uTabitha ngebizo, okungokuchasiswa kuthiwa nguDorkasi; lo wayegcwele imisebenzi emihle lemisebenzi yomusa ayenzayo.
Aia ma Iope kekahi haumana wahine, o Tabita ka inoa, ma ka hoohalike ana hoi, ua iia o Doreka, ua nui na hana maikai, a me na manawalea ana i hana'i.
37 Kwasekusithi kulezonsuku wagula wafa; sebemgezisile bamlalisa endlini ephezulu.
Ia mau la mai iho Ia ia a make. Holoi aku ia lakou ia ia, a waiho iho Ia ma ke keena maluna.
38 Njalo njengoba iLida yayiseduze leJopha, abafundi sebezwile ukuthi uPetro wayekhona kuyo, bathuma amadoda amabili kuye, bemncenga ukuthi angaphuzi ukuza kubo.
Ua kokoke no o Luda ma Iope, a lohe ae la na haumana i ko Petero hiki ana mala i la, hoouna aku la lakou i elua kanaka ia ia, nonoi aku la laua aole e hookaulua i kona hele ana io lakou la.
39 UPetro wasesukuma wahamba labo; okwathi esefikile bamthatha bamusa endlini ephezulu, labafelokazi bonke bema laye bekhala bemtshengisa izembatho lezigqoko uDorkasi ayezenzile eselabo.
Ku no la o Petero iluna, a hele pu me laua: a hiki aku la ia, alakai aku la lakou ia ia i ua keena la maluna; a ku pu me ia ua wahinekanemake a pau e uwe ana, a e hoike ana i na palule, a me na kapa komo a Doreka i hana'i i kona wa i noho pu ai me lakou.
40 Kodwa uPetro esebakhuphele phandle bonke eguqa ngamadolo wakhuleka; esetshibilikela esidunjini, wathi: Tabitha, vuka! Wasevula amehlo akhe; wabona uPetro, walulama.
Kipaku aku la o Petero ia lakou a pau mawaho, kukuli iho la a pule aku la; alaila haliu ae la ia ma ke kino, i aku la, E Tabita, e ala mai oe; oaka ao la kona mau maka, a ike ao la oia ia Petero, ala ae la ia iluna.
41 Wamelulela isandla, wamsukumisa; esebize abangcwele labafelokazi, wambeka phambi kwabo ephila.
Haawi aku la o Petero i ka lima ia ia, hooku ao la ia ia iluna; kii aku la ia i ka poe haipule, a me na wahinokanemake, a hoike aku la ia ia e ola'na.
42 Kwasekusaziwa kuyo yonke iJopha, labanengi bakholwa eNkosini.
A ikea ao la ia mea ma Iope a pau; a nui na mea i manaoio aku i ka Haku.
43 Kwenzeka ukuthi ahlale eJopha insuku ezinengi loSimoni othile umtshuki wezikhumba.
A noho iho la ia ma Iopo i kekahi mau la, me Simona ka hanaili.
