10 Mme go ne go se ope wa bone yo o emelanang le botlhale le mowa wa ga Setefane.
Kodwa babengelamandla okumelana lenhlakanipho loMoya ayekhuluma ngawo.
11 Mme ba tlisa bangwe ba banna go tla go bua maaka ka ga gagwe ba re ba utlwile Setefane a tlhapatsa Moshe, le Modimo tota.

14 Mme ba re, “Re mo utlwile a re Jesu wa Nasaretha o tlaa senya Tempele le melao yotlhe ya ga Moshe.”
ngoba simzwile esithi, uJesu lo weNazaretha uzadiliza lindawo, aphendule lemikhuba uMozisi asinika yona.
15 Ya re ka nako eo botlhe ba ba neng ba le mo lekgotleng ba bona sefatlhogo sa ga Setefane se tsabakela jaaka sa moengele.
Bonke ababehlezi emphakathini basebemjolozela, babona ubuso bakhe bungathi yibuso bengilosi.
