| 13:23 | Kwinzala yakhe, ngokweSithembiso, UThixo wazisa uYesu uMsindisi kwaSirayeli. |
| 13:24 | UYohane wayeshumayela, phambi kokufika kwakhe, ubhaptizo lwenguquko kubo bonke abantu bakwaSirayeli. |
| 13:25 | Emva koko, xa uYohane wagqiba ikhondo lakhe, Ebesitsho: ‘Andinguye lo ucinga ukuba ndinguye. Kuba, khangela!, omnye ufika emva kwam, iimbadada zeenyawo zakhe andifanelekanga ukuzikhulula. |
| 13:26 | Abazalwana abadumileyo, oonyana bomlibo ka-Abraham, nabo bamoyikayo uThixo phakathi kwenu, lithunyelwe kuni ilizwi lolu sindiso. |
| 13:27 | Kwabo babehlala eYerusalem, nabalawuli bayo, bengamhoyanga, kwanamazwi abaProfeti aleswayo ngeesabatha ngeesabatha, bawafezekise ngokumgweba. |
| 13:28 | Kwaye nangona bengafumananga nalinye ityala lokufa kuye, bambongoza uPilato, ukuze bambulale. |
| 13:29 | bakuba ke bezifezile zonke izinto ezibhaliweyo ngaye, bemhlisa emthini, bambeka engcwabeni. |

| 13:31 | Yena lowo wabonwa imihla emininzi ngabo babenyuke naye, bevela kwelaseGalili besiya eYerusalem, abangamangqina akhe nangoku ebantwini. |
| 13:32 | Kwaye siyanazisa ukuba iSithembiso, owamiselwa oobawo bethu, |
| 13:33 | sizalisekile uThixo ngenxa yabantwana bethu ngokumvusa uYesu, njengokuba kubhaliwe nakweyesibini iNdumiso: ‘UnguNyana wam wena. Namhlanje ndikuzele.’ |
| 13:34 | Ngoku, ekubeni wamvusa kwabafileyo, ukuze ungabi sabuyela ekonakaleni, utshilo: ‘Ndiya kukunika izinto ezingcwele zikaDavide, othembekileyo.’ |
| 13:35 | Kwaye emva koko, kwenye indawo, uthi: ‘Akuyi kumvumela oyiNgcwele wakho ukuba abone ukubola.’ |
| 13:36 | KuDavide, xa wayesilungiselele isizukulwana sakhe ngokwentando kaThixo, Ndiye ndalala, wabekwa ecaleni kooyise, kwaye wabona ukonakala. |
| 13:37 | Kodwa ngokwenene, ke yena owavuswayo nguThixo kwabafileyo, akabonanga kubola. |
| 13:38 | Ngoko ke, makwazeke oko kuni, abazalwana abahloniphekileyo, ukuba kuye kwaxelwa kuye uxolelo lwezono, nakuzo zonke izinto ebeningenako ukugwetyelwa nikhululeke ngazo emthethweni kaMoses.. |
| 13:39 | Kuye, bonke abakholwayo bayagwetyelwa. |
| 13:40 | Ngoko ke, lumnka, hleze iqwebe into eyathethwa ngabaprofeti: |
| 13:41 | ‘Nina badeli! Jonga, kwaye uzibuze, nokuba ziintsali! Ngokuba ndisebenza umsebenzi wam ngemihla yakho, isenzo eningakholwanga ngaso, nokuba ubani ebenokukucacisela.’ ” |
| 13:42 | Emva koko, njengoko babehamba, bababuza ukuba, ngeSabatha elandelayo, bawathethe kubo la mazwi. |
| 13:43 | Yakuba icinyiwe indlu yesikhungu, abaninzi phakathi kwamaYuda nabanquli abatsha babelandela uPawulos noBharnabhas. Kwaye bona, ethetha nabo, bebavuselela ukuba bahlale behleli elubabalweni lukaThixo. |
| 13:44 | Kodwa ngokwenene, ngeSabatha elandelayo, waphantse ukuhlanganisana umzi wonke, ukuba ulive ilizwi likaThixo. |
| 13:45 | Emva koko amaYuda, ebona izihlwele, bazala ngumona, kwaye bona, ukunyelisa, zaziphikisana nezinto ezazithethwa nguPawulos. |
| 13:46 | Emva koko uPawulos noBharnabhas batsho ngokuqinileyo: “Bekuyimfuneko ukuba ndithethe ilizwi likaThixo kuwe kuqala. Kodwa ngenxa yokuba uyala, nizigwebe ngokwenu anibufanele ubomi obungunaphakade, khangela, siphethukela kwiintlanga. |
| 13:47 | Kuba isiwisele umthetho ngokunjalo iNkosi: ‘Ndikumise njengokhanyiso lweentlanga, ukuze uzise usindiso eziphelweni zehlabathi.’” |
| 13:48 | Emva koko abeeNtlanga, ekuveni oku, bavuya, baye belizukisa ilizwi leNkosi. Kwaye bonke abo bakholwayo babemiselwe kwangaphambili ebomini obungunaphakade. |
| 13:49 | Laye ke ilizwi leNkosi lihanjiswa kulo lonke ilizwe elo. |
| 13:50 | Kodwa amaYuda axhokonxa abafazi abathile abazinikeleyo nabanyanisekileyo, kunye neenkokheli zesixeko. babaxhoxhela intshutshiso ooPawulos noBharnabhas. Kwaye bawagxotha kwiindawo zabo. |
| 13:51 | Kodwa bona, bavuthululela uthuli ezinyaweni zabo, wemka waya eIkoniyo. |
| 13:52 | Kwangokunjalo nabafundi babezaliswe luvuyo nanguMoya oyiNgcwele. |
IZenzo zabaPostile 14

| 14:5 | Ngoku kwakucetywe uhlaselo ngamaYuda namaYuda kunye neenkokeli zawo, ukuze babajongele phantsi, babagibisele ngamatye, |
| 14:6 | bona, ukuqonda oku, basaba kunye eListra naseDerbhe, izixeko zaseLikawoniya, nakuwo wonke ummandla ojikelezileyo. Baye ke beshumayela iindaba ezilungileyo kuloo ndawo. |
| 14:7 | Kwaye ke indoda ethile ihleli eListra, enesiphene ezinyaweni zakhe, isiqhwala kwasesizalweni sikanina, ongazange ahambe. |
| 14:8 | Le ndoda yeva uPawulos ethetha. Kwaye uPawulos, ejonge kuye ngenyameko, kwaye eqonda ukuba unokholo, ukuze aphile, |
| 14:9 | watsho ngelizwi elikhulu, “Yima nkqo ngeenyawo zakho!” Yatsiba, yahambahamba. |

| 15:6 | Bahlanganisana ke abapostile namadoda amakhulu, ukuba bawubambe lo mcimbi. |
| 15:7 | Kwaye emva kokuba yenzekile imbambano enkulu, Wesuka uPetros wathi kubo: “Abazalwana abadumileyo, uyakwazi oko, kwiintsuku zamva nje, UThixo unyule phakathi kwethu, ngomlomo wam, abeeNtlanga ukuba beve ilizwi leVangeli kwaye bakholwe. |
| 15:8 | Kwaye uThixo, ozazi iintliziyo, wanikela ubungqina, ngokubanika uMoya oyiNgcwele, njengokuba nakuthi. |
| 15:9 | Kwaye akazange ahlule nto phakathi kwethu nabo, bezihlambulule iintliziyo zabo ngokholo. |
| 15:10 | Ngoku ke, kutheni nihenda uThixo ukuba abeke idyokhwe ezintanyeni zabafundi, esibe singenako ukusithwala, thina kwanoobawo bethu? |
| 15:11 | Ke ngobabalo lweNkosi uYesu Kristu, siyakholwa ukuze sisindiswe, kwangokunjalo nabo.” |
| 15:12 | Yathi cwaka ke yonke inkitha. Kwaye baphulaphula uBharnabhas noPawulos, bebalisa ngemiqondiso emikhulu nezimanga, awazenzayo uThixo phakathi kwazo iintlanga ngabo. |
| 15:13 | Kwaye emva kokuba bethule, Uphendule watsho uJames: “Abazalwana abadumileyo, Mamela kum. |
| 15:14 | USimon ucacisile ukuba yeyiphi na indlela uThixo awamtyelela ngayo kuqala, ukuze kuzo iintlanga athabathele abantu igama lakhe. |
| 15:15 | Yaye amazwi abaProfeti ayavumelana noku, kanye njengoko kubhaliwe: |
| 15:16 | ‘Emva kwezi zinto, ndiya kubuya, yaye ndiya kubuya ndiwakhe umnquba kaDavide, eye yawa phantsi. Kwaye ndiza kubuya ndiwakhe amanxuwa ayo, kwaye ndiya kuliphakamisa, |
| 15:17 | ukuze abanye abantu bayifune iNkosi, nazo zonke iintlanga ezibizwe ngegama lam, utsho uYehova, ngubani na ozenzayo ezi zinto.’ |
| 15:18 | INkosi, imisebenzi yakhe iyaziwa kwasephakadeni. |
| 15:19 | Ngenxa yale nto, Mna ndigqiba kwelithi, abo baguqukela kuThixo bephuma phakathi kweentlanga, mabangaphazanyiswa, |
| 15:20 | kodwa endaweni yoko sibabhalela, ukuze bazigcine ekungcolisweni kwezithixo, nakuhenyuzo, nakuyo nantoni na efuthanisiweyo, nakwigazi. |
| 15:21 | KuMoses, ukususela kumaxesha amandulo, ubenabo kwimizi ngemizi abamshumayelayo ezindlwini zesikhungu, apho kufundwa khona iisabatha ngeesabatha. |
| 15:22 | Kwabavuyisa ke abaPostile nabadala, kunye neBandla liphela, ukukhetha amadoda phakathi kwabo, ndithumele kwa-Antiyokwe, kunye noPawulos noBharnabhas, noYudas, owayebizwa ngokuba nguBharsabhas, noSilas, amadoda abalaseleyo phakathi kwabazalwana, |
| 15:23 | oko kubhalwe ngezandla zabo: “Abapostile namadoda amakhulu, abazalwana, kwabo bakwa-Antiyokwe, kwelaseSiriya, naseKilikiya;, abazalwana beentlanga, imibuliso. |
| 15:24 | Ekubeni sivile ukuba abanye, ephuma phakathi kwethu, ndinikhathaze ngamazwi, bebhukuqa imiphefumlo yenu, esingabawiselanga mthetho thina, |
| 15:25 | yasivuyisa, ukuhlanganiswa njengento enye, ukunyula amadoda nokubathumela kuni, kunye neentanda zethu, uBharnabhas noPawulos: |
| 15:26 | abantu ababuncamileyo ubomi babo ngenxa yegama leNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu. |
| 15:27 | Ngoko ke, Sibathumile ooYuda noSilas, abathi nabo ngokwabo, ngelizwi elithethiweyo, ndingqinela kwaezo zinto. |
| 15:28 | Kuba kwakholeka kuye uMoya oyiNgcwele, nakuthi, ukuba singanithwalisi mthwalo ungaphezu kwenu, ngaphandle kwezi zinto ziyimfuneko: |
| 15:29 | zokuba nizile izinto ezibingelelwe izithixo, nakwigazi, nakuloo nto ifuthanisiweyo, nakuhenyuzo. Kuya kuba kuhle ukuba nizikhwebule kwezo zinto. Sala kakuhle.” |
| 15:30 | Kwaye, sele ugxothiwe, behla baya kwa-Antiyokwe. Wayihlanganisela ndawonye inkitha, bayihambisa incwadi. |
| 15:31 | Bakuba beyilesile, bayivuyela le ntuthuzelo. |
| 15:32 | Kodwa ooYuda noSilas, bengabaprofeti nabo, babathuthuzela abazalwana ngamazwi amaninzi, bomelela. |
| 15:33 | Emva koko, emva kokuchitha ixesha elingakumbi apho, banduluka benoxolo, ngabazalwana, kwabo babebathumile. |
| 15:34 | Kodwa kuSilas kwabonakala kulungile ukuba akhe ahlale khona. Wemka ke uYudas yedwa, waya eYerusalem. |
| 15:35 | Kwaye uPawulos noBharnabhas basala kwa-Antiyokwe, nabanye abaninzi, ukufundisa nokushumayela iLizwi leNkosi. |
| 15:36 | Emva koko, emva kweentsuku ezithile, UPawulos wathi kuBharnabhas, “Masibuye sityelele abazalwana kuzo zonke izixeko esalishumayela kuzo iLizwi leNkosi, ukubona ukuba banjani.” |
| 15:37 | Ke uBharnabhas wafuna ukumbamba uYohane, owayebizwa ngokuba nguMarko, kunye nabo. |

IZenzo zabaPostile 17
| 17:1 | Ke kaloku, bakuba beyityhutyha iAmfipoli neApoloni, bafika eTesalonika, apho kwakukho indlu yesikhungu yamaYuda. |
| 17:2 | Emva koko uPawulos, ngokwesiko, wangena kubo. Yaye iisabatha ezintathu wayexoxa nabo ngeZibhalo, |

| 17:6 | Bakuba bengabafumani, bamrholela uYason nabazalwana abathile kubaphathi bomzi, ekhala: “Kuba aba baxhokonxa umzi. Kwaye beza apha, |
| 17:7 | waza uYason wazamkela. Kwaye bonke aba bantu benza ngokuchasene nemimiselo kaKesare, esithi kukho omnye ukumkani, uYesu.” |
| 17:8 | Kwaye babaxhokonxa abantu. Nabaphathi bomzi, bakuva ezi zinto, |
| 17:9 | kwaye emva kokuba efumene inkcazelo kuYason nakwabanye, wabakhulula. |
| 17:10 | Kodwa ngokwenene, bathi abazalwana kwaoko bamndulula uPawulos noSilas ngobusuku, ukuba baye eBhereya. Kwaye xa befika, bangena endlwini yesikhungu yamaYuda. |

| 17:13 | Emva koko, xa amaYuda aseTesalonika aqondayo ukuba iLizwi likaThixo lalishunyayelwa nguPawulos naseBhereya, baya nalapho, basivuse, basidubaduba isihlwele. |
| 17:14 | Bandula ke abazalwana bamndulula ngokukhawuleza uPawulos, ukuze ahambe ngolwandle. Kodwa ooSilas noTimoti basala apho. |
| 17:15 | Baza abo babehamba naye uPawulos, bamsa eAtene. Kwaye emva kokuba amkele umyalelo kuye ukuba uSilas noTimoti, ukuze beze kuye kamsinya, bahamba. |
| 17:16 | Ke kaloku, xa uPawulos wayebalindile eAtene, Wavutha umoya wakhe phakathi kwakhe, ebona umzi uzinikele ekukhonzeni izithixo. |
| 17:17 | Kwaye, waye exoxa namaYuda endlwini yesikhungu, kunye nabanquli, nakwiindawo zikawonke-wonke, yonke imihla, nabani na owayelapho. |

| 17:19 | Kwaye ukumbamba, bamzisa eAreyopago, esithi: “Ngaba siyakwazi ukwazi ukuba yintoni le mfundiso intsha?, othetha ngayo? |
| 17:20 | Kuba uzisa iingcamango ezithile ezintsha ezindlebeni zethu. Kwaye ke singathanda ukwazi ukuba zithetha ukuthini ezi zinto. ” |
| 17:21 | (Ngoku bonke baseAthene, kunye neendwendwe ezifikayo, babezixakekise ngokuthetha okanye beva iingcamango ezintsha ezahlukahlukeneyo.) |
| 17:22 | Kodwa uPawulos, emi esazulwini seAreyopago, watsho: “Madoda aseAtene, ndiyabona ukuba ezintweni zonke nincamisa kakhulu. |
| 17:23 | Kuba njengoko bendidlula ndaza ndazibona izithixo zenu ezingento, Ndafumana nesibingelelo, ekubhalwe kuyo: KUTHIXO ONGAZIWAYO. Ngoko ke, izinto enizinqula ngokungazi, yiyo le nto ndinishumayezayo: |

| 17:25 | Kananjalo akakhonzwa zizandla zabantu, ngokungathi uswele nantoni na, ngokuba inguye ozinika zonke izinto ubomi, nomphefumlo, nazo zonke ezinye. |
| 17:26 | Kwaye uyenzile, ngaphandle kwenye, yonke intsapho yomntu: ukuhlala phezu kobuso behlabathi lonke, ukugqiba kwamaxesha amisiweyo, nemida yokuhlala kwazo, |
| 17:27 | ukuze bafune uThixo, ukuba mhlawumbi bangamgqala, mhlawumbi bamfumane, nakuba engekude kuthi sonke ngabanye. |
| 17:28 | ‘Kuba sihleli kuye, kwaye uhambe, kwaye zibekho.’ Kanye njengokuba ezinye iimbongi zenu zitshilo. ‘Kuba nathi singabentsapho yakhe.’ |
| 17:29 | Ngoko ke, ngokuba singabendlu kaThixo, masingagqali ngegolide, nesilivere, namatye anqabileyo, okanye imizobo yobugcisa nengcamango yomntu, ukuba ngummeleli wento eNgcwele. |
| 17:30 | Kwaye ngokwenene, uThixo, ejonge phantsi ukuze abone ukungazi kwala maxesha, ngoku ubhengeze ebantwini ukuba wonke umntu makaguquke. |
| 17:31 | Kuba umise umhla aza kuligweba ngawo elimiweyo ngobulungisa, ngendoda ayimiseleyo, enikela ukholo kubo bonke, ngokumvusa kwabafileyo. |
| 17:32 | Kwaye xa bevile ngoVuko lwabafileyo, kanjalo, abanye babehlekisa, ngelixa abanye besithi, “Siza kukuphulaphula ngale nto kwakhona.” |
| 17:33 | Wemka ke uPawulos phakathi kwabo. |
| 17:34 | Kodwa ngokwenene, amadoda athile, babambelele kuye, nakholwa. Phakathi kwabo kwakukho noDiyonisiyo waseAreyopago, nenkazana egama linguDamaris, nabanye kunye nabo. |
IZenzo zabaPostile 18

| 18:2 | Wafumana umYuda othile ogama linguAkwila, wazalelwa ePonto, owayesandul’ ukufika evela eItali ehamba noPrisila umkakhe, (ngokuba uKlawudiyo ebemise ukuthi, emke eRoma onke amaYuda,) wadibana nabo. |
| 18:3 | Kwaye ngenxa yokuba wayesenza umsebenzi ofanayo, wahlala nabo esebenza. (Ngoku umsebenzi wabo babengabenzi beentente.) |
| 18:4 | Wayexoxa ke endlwini yesikhungu iisabatha ngeesabatha, ukwazisa igama leNkosi uYesu. Wazamela ukweyisa amaYuda namaGrike. |
| 18:5 | Kwaye xa uSilas noTimoti bafika bevela eMakedoni, UPawulos wema eqinile eLizwini, eqononondisa kumaYuda ukuba uYesu unguye uKristu. |
| 18:6 | Kodwa ekubeni babephikisana naye kwaye benyelisa, wavuthulula iingubo zakhe, wathi kubo: “Igazi lenu libe phezu kwentloko yenu. Ndicocekile. Ukususela ngoku ukuya phambili, ndiya kuya kuzo iintlanga. |
| 18:7 | Kwaye ukusuka kuloo ndawo, wangena endlwini yendoda ethile, ogama linguTito olilungisa, umnquli kaThixo, ondlu yakhe yayamene nendlu yesikhungu. |
| 18:8 | Ngoku uKrispo, inkokeli yendlu yesikhungu, bakholwa yiNkosi, nendlu yakhe yonke. Kwaye abaninzi baseKorinte, ekuveni, bakholwa baza babhaptizwa. |
| 18:9 | Yathi ke iNkosi kuPawulos, ngombono ebusuku: "Sukoyika. Kunoko, Thetha, ungathi cwaka. |
| 18:10 | kuba ndikunye nawe. Kwaye akukho mntu uya kubambelela kuwe, ukuze nenze ububi. ngokuba abantu abaninzi bakulo mzi bakunye nam. |
| 18:11 | Wahlala apho unyaka oneenyanga ezintandathu, efundisa iLizwi likaThixo phakathi kwabo. |
| 18:12 | Ke kaloku, xa uGaliyo wayelibamba kwelaseAkaya, Asuka amaYuda amvukela ngamxhelo mnye uPawulos. Bamzisa ke enkundleni, |
| 18:13 | esithi, “Uphembelela abantu ukuba banqule uThixo ngokuchasene nomthetho.” |
| 18:14 | Emva koko, xa uPawulos wayeqalisa ukuvula umlomo wakhe, Wathi uGaliyo kumaYuda: “Ukuba lo ibingumcimbi wokungabikho kokusesikweni, okanye isenzo esibi, Owu maYuda abekekileyo, Bendiya kukuxhasa, njengoko kufanelekile. |
| 18:15 | Ukuba ke okunene ezi yimibuzo ngelizwi, namagama, nomthetho wenu;, nifanele nizibonele ngokwenu. Andiyi kuba ngumgwebi wezo zinto mna. |
| 18:16 | Wabawisela umthetho ngokomyalelo wentlanganiso yamatyala. |
| 18:17 | Kodwa bona, ukubamba uSosithene, inkokeli yendlu yesikhungu, wambetha phambi kwenkundla. Akabanga nakuzikhathalela ezo zinto uGaliyo. |
| 18:18 | Kodwa ngokwenene, UPawulos, emva kokuba ehleli iintsuku ezininzi, bevalelisile kubazalwane, waya eSiriya, bekunye noPrisila noAkwila. Ke kaloku wayeyichebile intloko eKenkreya, ngokuba wabhambathisa ngesibhambathiso. |
| 18:19 | Kwaye wafika e-Efese, wabashiya apho ngasemva. Kodwa ngokwenene, yena ngokwakhe, bengena endlwini yesikhungu, wayephikisana namaYuda. |
| 18:20 | Emva koko, nangona babemcela ukuba akhe ahlale umzuzu kuwo, akavuma. |
| 18:21 | Kunoko, evalelisa ebaxelela, Ndiya kubuyela kuni kwakhona, Xa uThixo evuma,” wemka e-Efese. |
| 18:22 | Kwaye emva kokuhla ukuya eKesareya, wenyuka waya eYerusalem, wabulisa eCaweni apho, waza wehla waya kwa-Antiyokwe. |
| 18:23 | Kwaye uchithe ixesha elide apho, Waphuma, walityhutyha ilizwe laseGalati, nelaseFrigi, elungelelene;, besomeleza bonke abafundi. |
| 18:24 | Ke kaloku umYuda othile ogama linguApolo, wazalelwa e-Alexandria, indoda eliciko eyayinamandla ngeZibhalo, wafika e-Efese. |
| 18:25 | Wafundiswa ngeNdlela yeNkosi. Kwaye uvutha emoyeni, wayethetha efundisa izinto ezikaYesu, esazi nje ubhaptizo lukaYohane lodwa. |

| 22:16 | Kwaye ngoku, ulibazise ntoni? Vuka, uze ubhaptizwe, uzihlambe izono zakho, ngokubiza igama lakhe.’ |
| 22:17 | Emva koko kwenzeka ukuba, xa ndabuyela eYerusalem, ndandithandaza etempileni, kwangena ingqondo yam, |
| 22:18 | ndambona esithi kum: ‘Khawuleza! Mkani ngokukhawuleza eYerusalem! Kuba abavumi ukubamkela ubungqina bakho ngam. |
| 22:19 | Ndaye ndathi: ‘Nkosi, bayayazi ukuba ndiyabetha kwaye ndivalela entolongweni, kuzo zonke izindlu zesikhungu, abo bakholiweyo kuwe. |
| 22:20 | xeshikweni laphalazwayo igazi lengqina lakho uStefano, Ndema kufuphi ndavuma, yaye ndandizigcinile iingubo zabo babembulala.’ |
| 22:21 | Wathi ke kum, ‘Phuma. Kuba ndikuthuma ezintlangeni ezikude.’” |
| 22:22 | Ngoku babemphulaphule, kude kube eli lizwi, kwaye ke baliphakamisa ilizwi labo, esithi: Lususeni olu hlobo emhlabeni! Kuba akufanelekile ukuba adle ubomi!” |
| 22:23 | Kwaye ngoxa babekhwaza, belahla iingubo zabo, nokugalela uthuli emoyeni, |
| 22:24 | umthetheli-waka wathi makangeniswe enqabeni yomkhosi;, nokubethwa, nokuthuthunjiswa, ukuze afumane isizathu sokuba benjenje ukunkqangaza ngaye. |
| 22:25 | Baza bamkhonkxa ngemitya, Wathi uPawulos kumthetheli-khulu obemi ngakuye, Kuvumelekile na, ukuba nimtyakatye umntu ongumRoma, engagwetywanga na??” |
| 22:26 | Ekuveni oku, Wesuka umthetheli-khulu, waya wabika kumthetheli-waka, esithi: “Uzimisele ukwenza ntoni? Kuba lo mntu ngummi waseRoma. |
| 22:27 | Kwaye umphathi-mkhosi, isondela, wathi kuye: "Ndixelele. Ngaba ungumRoma?” Ngoko wathi, "Ewe." |
| 22:28 | Yasabela irhuluneli, “Obu bummi ndabufumana ngeendleko ezinkulu.” Wathi ke uPawulos, "Kodwa ndazalelwa kuyo." |
| 22:29 | Ngoko ke, abo babeza kumngcungcuthekisa, Wemka kwangoko kuye. Nomphathi-mkhosi wayesoyika ngokufanayo, emva kokuqonda ukuba ungummi waseRoma, ngokuba ebembophile. |
| 22:30 | Kodwa ngosuku olulandelayo, efuna ukufumanisa ngenkuthalo ngakumbi ukuba yintoni na isizathu sokuba atyholwe ngamaYuda, wamkhulula, wabayalela ukuba babize ababingeleli, kunye nebhunga lonke. Kwaye, evelisa uPawulos, wammisa phakathi kwabo. |
IZenzo zabaPostile 23

| 23:2 | Nombingeleli omkhulu, UHananiyas, wabayalela ababemi kufuphi ukuba bambethe emlonyeni. |
| 23:3 | Wathi ke uPawulos kuye: UThixo wokubetha, ludonga oluqatywe mhlophe! Niya kuhlala nindigwebe ngokomthetho, nini, ngokuchasene nomthetho, uthi mandibethwe?” |
| 23:4 | Batsho ke abo babemi kufuphi, Ngaba uthetha kakubi ngombingeleli omkhulu kaThixo??” |
| 23:5 | Wathi ke uPawulos: "Andazi, abazalwana, ukuba ungumbingeleli omkhulu. kuba kubhaliwe kwathiwa: ‘Uze ungathethi kakubi ngenkokeli yabantu bakowenu.’ ” |
| 23:6 | Ngoku nguPawulos, esazi ukuba elinye iqela lelabaSadusi elinye lingabaFarisi, wadanduluka entlanganisweni yamatyala: “Abazalwana abadumileyo, ndingumFarisi, unyana womFarasi! Kungenxa yethemba novuko lwabafileyo endigwetywayo.” |
| 23:7 | Akuba etshilo, kwabakho ukungavisisani phakathi kwabaFarisi nabaSadusi. Yahlulelana ke inkitha. |
| 23:8 | Kuba abaSadusi bathi akukho luvuko, kwanezithunywa zezulu, okanye imimoya. Kodwa abaFarisi bazivuma zombini ezo ndawo. |
| 23:9 | Emva koko kwabakho intswahla enkulu. Kwaye ke abathile bakubaFarisi, ephakama, bebesilwa, esithi: “Asifumani nto imbi kule ndoda. Kuthekani ukuba kuthethwe ngumoya kuye?, okanye ingelosi?” |
| 23:10 | Kwaye ekubeni kukho impikiswano enkulu, umthetheli-mkhosi, besoyika ukuba uPawulos angaqwengwa ngabo, wathi amasoldati mahle, ambambe phakathi kwawo, nokumzisa enqabeni. |
| 23:11 | Emva koko, ngobusuku obulandelayo, iNkosi yema ngakuye, yathi: “Hlala ungagungqi. Kuba kanye njengoko wangqinayo ngam eYerusalem, Ngokukwanjalo ke kufuneka ukuba ungqine naseRoma. |
| 23:12 | Kwaye xa kufika imini, Yahlanganisana ke abathile kumaYuda, bazibopha ngesifungo, besithi abayi kudla, bangaseli, bangaseli, bade bambulale uPawulos. |
| 23:13 | Ke kaloku bekukho amadoda angaphezu kwamashumi amane, awayefungele ndawonye eso sifungo. |
| 23:14 | Basondela ke kubathetheli bababingeleli, kunye namadoda amakhulu, bathi: “Sizifungile ngesifungo, ukuze singangcamla nto, side simbulale uPawulos. |
| 23:15 | Ngoko ke, kunye nebhunga, ngoku kufuneka unike isaziso kwi-tribune, ukuze amzise kuwe, ngokungathi ubunenjongo yokumisela enye into ngaye. Kodwa ngaphambi kokuba asondele, senze amalungiselelo okumbulala. |
| 23:16 | Kodwa xa unyana wodade boPawulos wayivayo le nto, ngobuqhophololo babo, waya kungena enqabeni, waza waxelela uPawulos. |
| 23:17 | Kwaye uPawulos, ebizele kuye omnye wakubathetheli-khulu, watsho: “Khokela lo mfana kumphathi-mkhosi. Kuba unento afuna ukumxelela yona. |
| 23:18 | Kwaye ngokwenene, wamthabatha, wamsa kumthetheli-waka, watsho, “UPawulos, ibanjwa, undicele ukuba ndikhokele lomfana ndize kuwe, kuba kukho into afuna ukuyithetha kuwe.” |
| 23:19 | Emva koko i-tribune, embamba ngesandla, bemka naye bebodwa, wambuza: “Yintoni le ufuna ukundixelela yona?” |
| 23:20 | Emva koko wathi: “AmaYuda ahlanganisene ukuze akucele ukuba uze noPawulos ngomso entlanganisweni yamatyala, ngokungathi bafuna ukumbuza ngenye into. |
| 23:21 | Kodwa ngokwenene, akumele ubakholelwe, ngokuba babemlalele kubo bengamadoda angaphezu kwamashumi amane, abo bazibophe ngesifungo ukuba abayi kudla, okanye ukusela, bade bambulale. Kwaye ngoku zilungisiwe, ngethemba isiqinisekiso esivela kuwe. |
| 23:22 | Waza umthetheli-waka wamndulula umfana lowo, emthethela ukuba angaxeleli bani, ukuba umazile ezi zinto kuye. |
| 23:23 | Emva koko, ebize abathetheli-khulu ababini, wathi kubo: Lungisani amajoni angamakhulu amabini, ukuze bahambe bede baye kufika eKesareya, namashumi asixhenxe abamahashe, namakhulu amabini ezikhali zemikhonto, ilixa lesithathu lobusuku. |
| 23:24 | nilungise namaqegu okuthwala uPawulos, ukuze bamrhole kuFelikis ekhuselekile, irhuluneli.” |

| 23:26 | UKlawudiyo Lisiya, kweyona rhuluneli ibalaseleyo, Felix: imibuliso. |
| 23:27 | Le ndoda, ebanjwe ngamaYuda, eza kubulawa ngawo, Ndahlangula, beboyisa ngamajoni, ekubeni ndaqonda ukuba ungumRoma. |
| 23:28 | Kwaye befuna ukwazi isizathu sokuba bamchase, Ndamzisa entlanganisweni yabo. |
| 23:29 | Ndafumanisa ukuba umangalelwe ngemibuzo yomthetho wawo. Kodwa ngokwenene, Akukho nto ifanele ukufa okanye ukuvalelwa entolongweni eyayiphakathi kweso sityholo. |
| 23:30 | Ndaye ndaxelelwa iindaba zokulalela, ababemlungisele zona, ndimthumele kuwe, ebazisa nabamangaleli bakhe, ukuze bamangalele phambi kwakho ngokumangalela kwabo. Sala kakuhle.” |

| 23:32 | Kwaye ngosuku olulandelayo, wathuma abamahashe, ukuba bahambe naye, babuyela enqabeni. |
| 23:33 | bathi, bakuba befikile eKesareya, bayinikela incwadi kwirhuluneli, bammisa noPawulos phambi kwakhe. |
| 23:34 | Iyilesile ke, yabuza nokuba ungowaliphi na iphondo;, eqonda ukuba ungowaseKiliki, uthe: |
| 23:35 | Ndiyakuva, xa bathe bafika abamangaleli bakho. wathi makagcinwe endlwini yerhuluneli kaHerode. |
IZenzo zabaPostile 24
| 24:1 | Emva koko, emva kweentsuku ezintlanu, wehla umbingeleli omkhulu, uHananiya, enamadoda amakhulu, noTertulo othile, isithethi. Baya ke baya kwirhuluneli bemmangalela uPawulos. |
| 24:2 | Kwaye wambiza uPawulos, uTertulo waqala ukummangalela, esithi: “Obalaseleyo Felix, ngokuba sinoxolo olukhulu ngawe, kwaye izinto ezininzi zinokulungiswa ngokubonelela kwakho, |
| 24:3 | siyayivuma le nto, rhoqo naphi na, ngezenzo zokubulela ngento yonke. |

| 24:5 | Siyifumene le ndoda iyindyikitya yokufa, ukuze axhokonxe iziphendu phakathi kwawo onke amaYuda ehlabathini lonke, nokuba ngumbhali wemvukelo yehlelo lamaNazarete. |
| 24:6 | Yaye sele ezama nokuhlambela itempile. Kwaye bambambile, besifuna ukuba agwetywe ngomthetho wethu. |
| 24:7 | Kodwa uLisiya, umthetheli-mkhosi, besongamela ngogonyamelo olukhulu, wamxhwila ezandleni zethu, |
| 24:8 | wathi, mabeze kuwe abamangaleli bakhe. Ukusuka kubo, wena ngokwakho uya kukwazi, ngokugweba ngazo zonke ezi zinto, ukuze aqonde isizathu sokuba simmangalele.” |
| 24:9 | Kwaye ke amaYuda angenelela, besithi zinjalo ezo zinto. |
| 24:10 | Emva koko, ekubeni irhuluneli ibimyala ukuba athethe, UPawulos wasabela: “Ukwazi ukuba ubungumgwebi kwesi sizwe iminyaka emininzi, Ndiya kuzicacisa ngomphefumlo onyanisekileyo. |
| 24:11 | Kuba, njengoko unokuqonda, zintsuku nje ezilishumi elinambini ndenyuka ndaya kunqula eYerusalem. |
| 24:12 | Abandifumananga ndixoxa namntu etempileni, okanye abangele indibano yabantu: nakwizindlu zesikhungu, okanye esixekweni. |
| 24:13 | Kananjalo abanako ukuzimisa izinto abandimangalela ngazo ngoku. |
| 24:14 | Kodwa ndivuma oku kuwe, ukuba ngokwelo hlelo, nto leyo abayibiza ngokuba luqhekeko, ngokunjalo ndikhonza uThixo uBawo wam, ekholwa kuko konke okubhaliweyo emthethweni nasebaprofetini, |
| 24:15 | ndithembele kuThixo, abakulindeleyo naba abanye, ukuba kuya kubakho uvuko lwexesha elizayo lwamalungisa nabangengomalungisa. |
| 24:16 | Kwaye kule, Mna ngokwam ndiyazama, ukuba ngamaxesha onke ndingabi nasazela sikhubekisa nganto ngakuThixo nangakubantu;. |
| 24:17 | Emva koko, emva kweminyaka emininzi, Ndaya kwisizwe sakowethu, bezisa amalizo, neminikelo, nezibhambathiso, |
| 24:18 | endathi ngayo ndahlanjululwa etempileni: nokuba kukho nesihlwele, okanye ngesiphithiphithi. |
| 24:19 | + Kodwa amaYuda athile avela kwelaseAsiya ngawo ayemele ukuba avela phambi kwakho ukuze andimangalele, ukuba banendawo ngakum. |
| 24:20 | Okanye mabatsho aba balapha ukuba bafumene ubugwenxa na kum, bemi phambi kwebhunga. |
| 24:21 | Kuba ngoxa emi phakathi kwabo, Ndathetha kuphela ngalo mbandela mnye: ngovuko lwabafileyo. Ndigwetywa nje ke mna namhla nini. |
| 24:22 | Emva koko uFelix, emva kokuba efumene ulwazi oluninzi malunga nale Ndlela, bahlala belindile, ngokuthi, “Xa efikile uLisiya umthetheli-waka, ndiza kukuva. |
| 24:23 | Wayalela umthetheli-khulu ukuba amgcine, nokuphumla, nokuba angalela nabani na ongowakhe ukuba amlungiselele. |

| 24:25 | Kwaye emva kokuba ethethe ngobulungisa nobunyulu, nangomgwebo ozayo, UFelix wayengcangcazela, wasabela: "Okwangoku, hamba, kodwa hlalani nilindile. Emva koko, ngexesha elifanelekileyo, Ndiza kukubiza. |
| 24:26 | kananjalo wayethembe ukuba wonikwa imali nguPawulos, kwaye ngenxa yoko, wayemane embiza, ethetha naye. |
| 24:27 | Emva koko, xa kwadlula iminyaka emibini, UFeliks walandelwa nguPortiyo Festo. Ke kaloku uFelikis wayefuna ukubonakalisa ubabalo kumaYuda, wamshiya ngasemva uPawulos engumbanjwa. |
IZenzo zabaPostile 25
| 25:1 | Kwaye, akufika uFesto kwelo phondo, emva kweentsuku ezintathu, wenyuka waya eYerusalem, evela eKesareya. |
| 25:2 | Neentloko zababingeleli, nabokuqala phakathi kwamaYuda, waya kuye ngenxa kaPawulos. Baye ke bembongoza, |
| 25:3 | ecela ukubabalwa ngaye, ukuze ayalele ukuba amsiwe eYerusalem, apho babelalela khona ukuze bambulale endleleni. |
| 25:4 | Kodwa uFesto waphendula wathi uPawulos makagcinwe eKesareya, nokuba naye ngokwakhe wayeza kuya khona kamsinya. |
| 25:5 | “Ke ngoko," uthe, mabathi abanako phakathi kwenu, yehla ngaxeshanye, ukuba kukho tyala endodeni, banokummangalela. |
| 25:6 | Emva koko, wahlala phakathi kwabo ngaphezu kweentsuku ezisibhozo okanye ezilishumi, wehla waya eKesareya. Kwaye ngosuku olulandelayo, wahlala esihlalweni sokugweba, wathi uPawulos makangeniswe. |
| 25:7 | Kwaye xa eziswa, athi amaYuda abehle evela eYerusalem ema emngqongile, ekhupha izityholo ezininzi ezinzulu, akukho nanye kuzo ababanga nako ukuyingqina. |
| 25:8 | UPawulos wakunikela oku kuzithethelela: “Kwakungekho nxamnye nomthetho wamaYuda, okanye nxamnye netempile, nokuba kuKesare, ndonile nangawuphi na umcimbi. |
| 25:9 | Kodwa uFesto, efuna ukubababala ngakumbi amaYuda, waphendula uPawulos wathi: “Ngaba ukulungele na ukunyuka uye eYerusalem, uze ugwetywe khona ngezi zinto phambi kwam??” |
| 25:10 | Kodwa uPawulos wathi: “Ndimi kwinkundla kaKesare, kulapho ke bendifanele ukugwetywa khona. Andenzanga nto imbi kumaYuda, njengoko usazi kakuhle. |
| 25:11 | Kuba ukuba ndiye ndabenzakalisa, nokuba ndenze into elingene ukufa, Andikuchasanga ukufa. Kodwa ukuba akukho nanye yezo zinto bandimangalela ngazo, akukho namnye unako ukundinikela kubo. ndibhenela kuKesare. |
| 25:12 | Emva koko uFesto, ethethe nentlanganiso yamatyala, waphendula: “Ubhenele kuKesare;, uya kuya kuKesare. |
| 25:13 | Kwaye kwakuba kudlule iintsuku ezithile, ukumkani uAgripa noBhernike behla baya eKesareya, ukubulisa uFesto. |
| 25:14 | Kwaye ekubeni bahlala khona iintsuku ezininzi, UFesto wathetha nokumkani ngoPawulos, esithi: “Kwasala ndoda ithile, ilibanjwa nguFelikis. |
| 25:15 | Xa ndandiseYerusalem, Abathetheli bababingeleli namadoda amakhulu amaYuda beza kum ngaye, becela ukugwetywa. |
| 25:16 | Ndabaphendula ndathi, Asilosiko lamaRoma ukugweba mntu, phambi kokuba lowo umangalelweyo ajamelane nabamangaleli bakhe kwaye ufumene ithuba lokuziphendulela, ukuze azihlangule kwizityholo. |
| 25:17 | Ngoko ke, xa befika apha, ngaphandle kokulibazisa, ngosuku olulandelayo, ehleli esihlalweni sokugweba, Ndayalela ukuba kuziswe indoda. |
| 25:18 | Kodwa bakuba bemile abamangaleli, abamangalelanga ngaye, endikrokrela ukuba bububi;. |
| 25:19 | Kunoko, bazisa kuye iimpikiswano ezithile malunga neenkolelo zabo, nangoYesu uthile, owayeswelekile, awathi uPawulos uhleli. |
| 25:20 | Ngoko ke, ukuba namathandabuzo ngolu hlobo lombuzo, Ndambuza ukuba angathanda na ukuya eYerusalem, lithethwe khona ityala lezi zinto?. |
| 25:21 | Kodwa ekubeni uPawulos wayebhenele ukuba agcinelwe isigwebo phambi koAgasto, Ndayalela ukuba agcinwe, ndide ndimthumele kuKesare. |
| 25:22 | Wathi ke uAgripa kuFesto: Nam ngokwam ndiyafuna ukuyiva le ndoda. "Ngomso," uthe, “uya kumva. |

| 25:24 | Wathi ke uFesto: “Kumkani Agripa, nabo bonke abakhoyo kunye nathi, uyayibona le ndoda, eyandikhwankqisa ngayo yonke inkitha yamaYuda eYerusalem, ebongoza kwaye ekhwaza esithi makangavunyelwa ukuba aphile kwakhona. |
| 25:25 | Ngokwenene, andifumananga nto igwetyelwe ukufa;. Kodwa ekubeni yena ngokwakhe uye wabhenela kuAgasto, ibe kum kum ukuba ndimthume. |
| 25:26 | Kodwa ke andiyazi into endiya kuyibhalela uKhesare ngaye. Ngenxa yale nto, ndimzise phambi kwenu nonke, kwaye ngakumbi phambi kwakho, Owu kumkani Agripa, lo nto, kwakuba kukho uphando, Inokuba ndinento endinokuyibhala. |
| 25:27 | Kuba kum kubonakala ibubudenge, ukuba kuthunyelwe ikhonkxwa, lingaqondakaliswa netyala elinalo. |
IZenzo zabaPostile 26
| 26:1 | Kodwa ngokwenene, Wathi uAgripa kuPawulos, “Uvumelekile ukuba uthethe ngokwakho. Emva koko uPawulos, esolula isandla sakhe, waqala ukuziphendulela. |
| 26:2 | “Ndizibona ndisikelelekile, Owu kumkani Agripa, ukuba ndiziphendulele phambi kwakho namhla, ngayo yonke into endimangalelwayo ngayo ngamaYuda, |
| 26:3 | ngokukodwa ekubeni nizazi izinto zonke ezingamaYuda, zombini amasiko kunye nemibuzo. Ngenxa yale nto, Ndicela undive ngomonde. |
| 26:4 | Kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo, onke amaYuda ayazi ngobomi bam kwasebuncinaneni bam, owaqalayo phakathi kwabantu bam eYerusalem. |
| 26:5 | Babendazi kakuhle kwasekuqaleni, (ukuba bangathanda ukunikela ubungqina) kuba ndandiphila ngokwelona hlelo lonqulo lwethu: njengomFarisi. |
| 26:6 | Kwaye ngoku, ngenxa yethemba ledinga elenziwa nguThixo koobawo bethu ndimi phambi komgwebo. |
| 26:7 | Sisithembiso esenziwa zizizwe zethu ezilishumi elinambini, benqula ubusuku nemini, ndiyathemba ukubona. Malunga neli themba, Owu kumkani, Ndimangalelwa ngamaYuda. |
| 26:8 | Yini na ukuba nithi, yinto eningenakukholwa yiyo, ukuba uThixo abavuse abafileyo?? |
| 26:9 | Kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo, Nam ke bendifudula ndisithi, ndimelwe kukwenza izinto ezininzi ezichasene negama likaYesu waseNazarete. |
| 26:10 | Ndenjenjalo ke eYerusalem. Kwaye, Ndavalela abantu abangcwele abaninzi entolongweni, befumene igunya kubaphathi bababingeleli. Kwaye xa babeza kubulawa, Ndizise isigwebo. |
| 26:11 | nakuzo zonke izindlu zesikhungu, rhoqo ngelixa ubohlwaya, Ndabanyanzela ukuba banyelise. Kwaba kukhona ebagezisayo ngakumbi, Ndabatshutshisa, nakwizixeko zasemzini. |
| 26:12 | Emva koko, njengoko ndandisiya eDamasko, ngegunya nangemvume kumbingeleli omkhulu, |
| 26:13 | emini emaqanda, Owu kumkani, Mna kwanabo babekunye nam, endleleni ndabona ukukhanya okuphuma ezulwini kundibanekela kubuqaqawuli obungaphezu kobelanga. |
| 26:14 | Kwaye xa sonke siwe phantsi emhlabeni, Ndeva ilizwi lithetha nam ngolwimi lwesiHebhere: ‘Sawule, uSawule, unditshutshiselani na?? Kunzima kuwe ukukhaba uviko.’ |
| 26:15 | Ndiye ndatsho, 'Ungubani, Nkosi?’ Yathi iNkosi, ‘NdinguYesu, omtshutshisayo wena;. |
| 26:16 | Vuka, ume ngeenyawo. Kuba ndibonakale kuwe ngenxa yesi sizathu: ukuze ndikumise njengomlungiseleli nengqina kwizinto ozibonileyo, nangokuphathelele izinto endiya kunibonisa zona: |
| 26:17 | ndikuhlangula ebantwini nasezintlangeni, endikuthumela kuzo ngoku, |
| 26:18 | ukuze bavule amehlo abo, ukuze baguqulwe ebumnyameni baye ekukhanyeni, nokuphuma egunyeni likaSathana kuye kuThixo, ukuze bamkele uxolelo lwezono, nendawo phakathi kwabangcwele, ngokholo olukum.’ |
| 26:19 | Ukususela ngoko, Owu kumkani Agripa, Ndandingakholelwa kumbono wasezulwini. |
| 26:20 | Kodwa ndashumayela, okokuqala kwabo baseDamasko nabaseYerusalem, kwandule ke kulo lonke elakwaYuda, nakuzo iintlanga, ukuze baguquke baze baguqukele kuThixo, esenza imisebenzi efanele inguquko. |
| 26:21 | Kwakungenxa yesi sizathu ukuba amaYuda, yandibamba ndisendlwini kaThixo, wazama ukundibulala. |
| 26:22 | Kodwa ngenxa yoncedo lukaThixo, unanamhla, Ndimi ndingqina komncinane nomkhulu, engathethi nanye into engaphaya koko kwathethwa ngabaProfeti noMoses ukuba iya kubakho kwixesha elizayo: |
| 26:23 | ukuba uKristu ubeya kuva ubunzima, nokuba abe ngowokuqala eluvukweni lwabafileyo, nokuba uzise ukukhanya ebantwini nasezintlangeni. |
| 26:24 | Akubon' ukuba uyazithetha ezi zinto, eziphendulela, Watsho ngelizwi elikhulu uFesto: “UPawulos, uyageza! Ukufunda kakhulu kukwenze washiywa ziingqondo.” |
| 26:25 | Wathi ke uPawulos: Andiphambene, oyena ubalaseleyo kaFesto, kodwa ndithetha amazwi enyaniso, anengqondo ephilileyo. |
| 26:26 | Ngokuba ukumkani uyazazi ezi zinto;. Nakuye, Ndithetha ngokuzingisileyo. Kuba ndicinga ukuba akaziwa nanye kwezo zinto. Kwaye ezi zinto bezingenzelwa embombeni. |
