Imisebenzi 1
1 Ukulandisa kokuqala ngakwenza, Teyofilu, ngakho konke uJesu aqala kokubili ukukwenza lokukufundisa,
U A hoonoho aku au, e Teopilo, i ka mooolelo mua, no namea a pau a Iesu i hoomaka'i e hana a e ao mai no hoi,
2 kwaze kwaba lusuku akhutshulwa ngalo, esebalayile ngoMoya oNgcwele abaphostoli ayebakhethile;
A hiki i ka la i laweia'ku ai ia iluna, mahope o kana kauoha ana mai ma ka Uhane Hemolele i na lunaolelo ana i wae mai ai.
3 wazibonakalisa futhi kubo ephilile emva kokuhlupheka kwakhe ngobufakazi obunengi obuqinisekileyo, wabonwa yibo okwensuku ezingamatshumi amane, ekhuluma ngezinto ezimayelana lombuso kaNkulunkulu.
Hoike ola mai no oia ia ia iho ia lakou mahope o kona make ana, ma na hoailona hoike he nui loa, me ka ikeia e lakou i na la ho kanaha, a olelo mai no ia i na mea o ke aupuni o ke Akua:
4 Kwathi ehlangene labo, wabalaya ukuthi bangasuki eJerusalema, kodwa balindele isithembiso sikaBaba, elasizwa ngami;
A i kona halawai ana me lakou, kauoha mai la oia ia lakou, aole e haalele ia Ierusalema, aka, e kali i ka ka Makua olelo hoopomaikai, a oukou i lohe ai ia'u.
5 ngoba ngeqiniso uJohane wabhabhathiza ngamanzi, kodwa lina lizabhabhathizwa ngoMoya oNgcwele kungakadluli insuku ezinengi.
No ka mea, ua bapetizo io no o Ioane me ka wai; aka, e bapetizoia no hoi oukou i ka Uhane Hemolele, mahope iho o na la aohe nui.
6 Kwathi sebebuthene bambuza bathi: Nkosi, uzabuyisela umbuso kuIsrayeli kulesisikhathi yini?
No ia mea, i ko lakou akoakoa ana, ninau aku la lakou ia ia, i aku la, E ka Haku, e hoihoi mai anei oe i ke aupuni no ka Iseraela i keia wa?
7 Wasesithi kubo: Kakusikho okwenu ukwazi izikhathi kumbe imizuzu ayimisileyo uBaba ngawakhe amandla;
I mai la oia ia lakou, Aole ia oukou ka ike i na wa, a me na kau a ka Makua i waiho ai i kona mana iho.
8 kodwa lizakwemukela amandla, esefikile phezu kwenu uMoya oNgcwele; njalo libe ngabafakazi bami eJerusalema kanye layo yonke iJudiya leSamariya, njalo kuze kube semkhawulweni womhlaba.
Aka, e loaa no ia oukou ka mana, ke hiki mai ka Uhane Hemolele maluna iho o oukou; a e lilo auanei oukou i poe hoike no'u ma Ierusalema, a ma Iudea a pau, a ma Samaria, a hiki wale aku i ke kihi o ka honua.
9 Kwathi esetshilo lezizinto, wakhutshulwa bekhangele, leyezi lamsusa emehlweni abo.
A oki ae la kana olelo ana ia mau mea, e nana aku ana lakou, a laweia'ku la ia iluna; a na ke ao no ia i apo mai, mai ko lakou mau maka aku.
10 Bathi besajolozele ezulwini, esenyuka, njalo khangela, amadoda amabili ema labo elezembatho ezimhlophe,
A i ko lakou haka pono ana aku i ka lani, i kona pii ana, aia hoi, ku kokoke mai la me lakou na kanaka elua, me ka aahu keokeo;
11 njalo athi: Madoda maGalili, limeleni lijolozele ezulwini? UJesu lo, osuswe kini wenyukiselwa ezulwini, uzabuya ngokunjalo ngendlela elimbone esiya ngayo ezulwini.
I mai la hoi laua, E na kanaka o Galilaia, no ke aha la oukou e ku nei e nana aku ana i ka lani? O Iesu nei, ka mea i laweia'ku nei i ka lani, mai o oukou aku nei, pela no ia e hoi hou mai ai e like me ka oukou ike ana aku ia ia e pii ana i ka lani.
12 Basebebuyela eJerusalema bevela entabeni ethiwa ngeyoMhlwathi, eseduze leJerusalema, ummango wohambo lwesabatha.
Alaila, hoi aku la lakou i Ierusalema, mai ka mauna aku i kapaia o Oliveta, ua kokoke no ia i Ierusalema, o ko ka la Sabati hele ana.
13 Kwathi sebengenile, benyukela endlini ephezulu, lapho ababehlala khona, uPetro loJakobe loJohane loAndreya, uFiliphu loTomasi, uBartolomewu loMathewu, uJakobe kaAlfewu loSimoni umZelothi, loJudasi kaJakobe.
A komo lakou iloko, pii aku la, a iloko o kekahi keena maluna, malaila lakou i noho ai, o Petero, a me Iakobo, a me Ioane, a me Anederea, a me Pilipo, a me Toma, a me Baretolomaio, a me Mataio, a me Iakobo a Alepaio, a me Simona Zelote, a me Inda ka hoahanau no Iakobo.
14 Bonke laba baphikelela bengqondonye emkhulekweni lekuncengeni, kanye labesifazana loMariya unina kaJesu, njalo labafowabo.
Hoomau iho la lakou nei a pau i ka pule ana, a me ka nonoi aku, me ka lokahi o ka manao, o na wahine hoi kekahi, a me Maria, ka makuwahine o Iesu, a me kona poe hoahanau.
15 Kwathi ngalezonsuku uPetro wasukuma phakathi kwabafundi, kwakulexuku labantu ndawonye elalingaba likhulu lamatshumi amabili, wathi:
I ua mau la la, ku ae la o Petero iwaenakonu o na haumana, i mai la, (o ka nui o ko lakou inoa, hookahi haneri me ka iwakalua, )
16 Madoda bazalwane, kwakumele ukuthi lumbhalo ugcwaliswe, uMoya oyiNgcwele awukhuluma ngaphambili ngomlomo kaDavida ngoJudasi, owayengumkhokheli walabo abambambayo uJesu,
E na kanaka, na hoahanau, he mea pono e hookoia keia palapala a ka Uhane Hemolele i hai mai ai ma ka waha o Davida no Iuda, ka mea nana i alakai i ka poe i hopu ia Iesu.
17 ngoba wayebalwe kanye lathi, njalo wemukela isabelo salinkonzo.
No ka mea, ua helu pu ia oia me kakou, a loaa no hoi ia ia kekahi o neia oihana.
18 Lo-ke wathenga isiqinti ngomvuzo wobubi, wawa ngekhanda waqhekezeka phakathi, lemibilini yakhe yonke yachitheka.
A kuai iho la ia i aina me ka uku no ka hewa; a haule iho la ia ilalo kona poo, nahae iho la iwaenakonu ona, a pahu aku la kona naau a pau iwaho.
19 Njalo kwaziwa yibo bonke abakhileyo eJerusalema, saze sabizwa lesosiqinti ngolimi lwakibo ngokuthi iAkeldama, okuyikuthi iSiqinti segazi.
A ikea iho la ia mea e ka poe a pau e noho ana ma Ierusalema; nolaila ua kapaia'ku la ia aina, ma ka lakou olelo, Akeledama, o ke ano keia, O ka aina koko.
20 Ngoba kulotshiwe egwalweni lweziHlabelelo ukuthi: Umuzi wakhe kawube lunxiwa, njalo kungabi khona ohlala kuwo; lokuthi: Omunye kathathe ubuphathi bakhe.
No ka mea, ua palanalaia ma ka buke Halelu, E lilo kona hale i neoneo, aole loa kekahi e noho ilaila; a, E lawe hoi kekahi i kana oihana.
21 Ngakho kumele ukuthi kulawomadoda ayehamba lathi kuso sonke isikhathi lapho iNkosi uJesu yayingena njalo iphuma phakathi kwethu,
Nolaila, o na kanaka i hele pu ai me kakou i na wa a pau loa a ka Haku, a Iesu i hele mai ai, a i hele aku ai iwaena o kakou,
22 kusukela ebhabhathizweni lukaJohane, kwaze kwaba lusuku akhutshulwa ngalo kithi, omunye wabo kabe ngumfakazi kanye lathi wokuvuka kwakhe.
Mai ka hoomaka ana o Ioane e bapetizo ai, a hiki mai i ka la i laweia'ku ai ia mai o kakou aku, he mea pono e lilo kekahi o lakou i mea hoike pu me kakou i kona alahou ana mai.
23 Basebemisa ababili, uJosefa othiwa nguBarsaba, othiwa futhi nguJustusi, loMathiyasi.
Wae aku la lakou i elua, o Iosepa i kapaia o Baresaba, o Iouseto kekahi inoa ona, a me Matia hoi.
24 Basebekhuleka besithi: Wena Nkosi, wena owaziyo inhliziyo zabo bonke, tshengisa kulaba ababili oyedwa, omkhethileyo,
Pule aku la lakou, i aku la, E ka Haku, ka mea ike i ka naau o na mea a pau loa, e hoike mai oe i ka mea o laua nei au e koho mai ai,
25 ukwemukela isabelo kulinkonzo lobuphostoli, uJudasi aphambuka kuso, ukuthi aye endaweni engeyakhe.
I lawe pu ia i kekahi o keia oihana, a me ko ka lunaolelo, mai ia wahi mai ko Iuda haule ana, i hele aku ia i kona wahi iho.
26 Basebebapha inkatho yabo; lenkatho yadla uMathiyasi, wasebalwa kanye labaphostoli abalitshumi lanye.
Hailona iho la lakou, a lilo ka hailona ia Matia; a helu pu ia iho la ia me na lunaolelo he umikumamakahi.
