| 1:12 | Emva koko babuyela eYerusalem bevela entabeni, leyo kuthiwa yiminquma, esecaleni kweYerusalem, phakathi kohambo lweSabatha. |
| 1:13 | Bakuba bengenile ke ententeni, benyuka baya endaweni abekuyo uPetros noYohane, UYakobi noAndreya, uFilipu noTomas, UBhartolomeyu noMateyu, uYakobi ka-Alfeyu noSimon umZeloti, noYuda kaYakobi, bahlala. |

| 1:21 | Ngoko ke, kuyimfuneko ukuba, siphuma kula madoda abehlanganisene nathi ngalo lonke ixesha iNkosi uYesu, ibingena iphuma phakathi kwethu, |

IZenzo zabaPostile 2
| 2:1 | Ke kaloku yakuzaliseka imihla yepentekoste, babendawonye bonke ndaweni-nye. |
| 2:2 | Kwaye ngequbuliso, kwabakho isandi esiphuma ezulwini, njengomoya ubhudla ngamandla, yazalisa indlu yonke ababehleli kuyo. |
| 2:3 | Kwabonakala kubo iilwimi ezahlukeneyo, njengomlilo, lahlala phezu komntu ngamnye kubo. |
| 2:4 | Bazaliswa bonke nguMoya oyiNgcwele. Baqala ukuthetha ngeelwimi ezahlukeneyo, kanye njengoko uMoya oyiNgcwele wabanika ubuchule bokuthetha. |
| 2:5 | Ke kaloku kwakukho amaYuda ahlala eYerusalem, abangcwele kuzo zonke iintlanga eziphantsi kwezulu. |
| 2:6 | Kwaye xa kwenzeka esi sandi, yabuthelana inkitha, yadubadubeka engqondweni, ngokuba wayebeva bonke bethetha ngezakomawabo iintetho. |
| 2:7 | Bakhwankqiswa ke bonke, bamangaliswa, esithi: “Khangela!, Aba bathethayo asingamaGalili bonke na? |
| 2:8 | Kwaye kwenzeka njani ukuba umntu ngamnye abeve ngolwimi lwakhe, esazalelwa kuyo? |
| 2:9 | amaPati namaMedi namaElam, nabemi baseMesopotami, kwelakwaYuda naseKapadokiya, ePonto naseAsiya, |
| 2:10 | eFrigiya nasePamfiliya, iYiputa nemimandla yeLibhiya ejikelezileyo eKirene, kunye nabantu abatsha abafikayo kumaRoma, |
| 2:11 | ngokunjalo namaYuda namaguquka amatsha, AmaKrete nama-Arabhu: sabeva bethetha ngeelwimi zethu imisebenzi yamandla kaThixo. |
| 2:12 | Bakhwankqiswa ke bonke, bamangaliswa, besithi omnye komnye: “Kodwa kuthetha ukuthini oku?” |
| 2:13 | Kodwa abanye baphoxisa bathi, “La madoda azele yiwayini entsha.” |
| 2:14 | Kodwa uPetros, emi kunye nabalishumi elinanye, waliphakamisa ilizwi lakhe, wathetha kubo: “Madoda akwaYuda, nabo bonke abahleli eYerusalem, makwazeke oku kuni, kwaye uwathobele amazwi am. |
| 2:15 | Kuba la madoda akanxili, njengoko ucinga, kuba lilixa lesithathu lemini. |
| 2:16 | Kodwa oku koko kwathethwa ngako ngomprofeti uYoweli: |
| 2:17 | ‘Kwaye oku kuya kwenzeka: ngemihla yokugqibela, utsho uYehova, Ndiya kuthulula, kuMoya wam, phezu kwenyama yonke. Kwaye oonyana benu neentombi zenu baya kuprofeta. Oonyana benu baya kubona imibono, amadoda amakhulu akho aphuphe amaphupha. |
| 2:18 | Kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo, phezu kwezicaka zam nezicakakazi zam ngaloo mihla, Ndiya kuthulula uMoya wam, kwaye baya kuprofeta. |
| 2:19 | Ndiya kwenza izimanga ezulwini phezulu, nemiqondiso emhlabeni phantsi: igazi nomlilo nomphunga womsi. |
| 2:20 | Ilanga liya kujika libe bubumnyama, nenyanga ibe ligazi, ngaphambi kokuba imini enkulu necacileyo yeNkosi ifike. |
| 2:21 | Kwaye oku kuya kuba: bonke abasukuba belinqula igama leNkosi bosindiswa. |
| 2:22 | Amadoda akwaSirayeli, uve la mazwi: UYesu waseNazarete yindoda eqiniswe nguThixo phakathi kwenu ngemisebenzi yamandla, nangezimanga, nangemiqondiso, awayenzayo uThixo ngayo phakathi kwenu., njengokuba nawe usazi. |
| 2:23 | Le ndoda, phantsi kwesicwangciso esiqinisekileyo kunye nokwazi kwangaphambili kukaThixo, wanikelwa ngezandla zabangengomalungisa, uxhwalekile, aze abulawe. |
| 2:24 | Ke lowo uThixo wamvusayo uzaphule iintsizi zesihogo, kuba ngokuqinisekileyo ebengenako ukubanjwa nguye. |
| 2:25 | Kuba uDavide wathetha ngaye: ‘Ndahlala ndiyibona iNkosi phambi kwam, ngokuba ungasekunene kwam, ukuze ndingashukunyiswa. |
| 2:26 | Ngenxa yale nto, intliziyo yam igcobile, lwagcoba ulwimi lwam. Ngaphezu koko, nenyama yam iya kuphumla inethemba. |
| 2:27 | Ngokuba akuyi kuwushiya umphefumlo wam esihogweni, Kananjalo akuyi kumyekela oyiNgcwele wakho ukuba abone ukubola. |
| 2:28 | Undazise iindlela zobomi;. Uya kundizalisa ngovuyo ngokupheleleyo ngobukho bakho. |
| 2:29 | Abazalwana abadumileyo, ndivumele ndithethe kuwe ngokuphandle ngomawokhulu uDavide: kuba wayengasekho, wangcwatywa, nengcwaba lakhe likho kuthi, kude kube namhlanje. |
| 2:30 | Ngoko ke, wayengumprofeti, ngokuba ebesazi ukuba uThixo umfungele isifungo sesinqe sakhe, NgaLowo uya kuhlala etroneni yakhe. |
| 2:31 | Ukubona kwangaphambili oku, wayethetha ngoVuko lukaKristu. Kuba akazange ashiywe ngasemva esihogweni, nenyama yakhe ingabonanga kubola. |
| 2:32 | NguYesu lo, UThixo wavuka kwakhona, singamangqina ako oko thina sonke. |
| 2:33 | Ngoko ke, ephakanyiselwe ngasekunene kukaThixo, nokuba samkele kuYise idinga loMoya oyiNgcwele, wayiphalaza lento, njengokuba nibona ngoku niyeva. |
| 2:34 | Kuba uDavide, enganyukanga waya emazulwini. Kodwa yena ngokwakhe wathi: ‘Yathi iNkosi eNkosini yam: Hlala ngasekunene kwam, |
| 2:35 | ndide iintshaba zakho ndizenze isihlalo seenyawo zakho. |
| 2:36 | Ngoko ke, Yanga yonke indlu kaSirayeli yazi okunene, ukuba uThixo umenzé kwa lo Yesu, enambethelelayo emnqamlezweni, kokubini iNkosi noKristu.” |
| 2:37 | Ke kaloku, bakuba bevile ezi zinto, batyumkile ezintliziyweni zabo, baza bathi kuPetros nakwabanye abapostile: “Simele senze ntoni, abazalwana abahloniphekileyo?” |
| 2:38 | Kodwa ngokwenene, Wathi kubo uPetros: “Yenza uxolo; uze ubhaptizwe, ngamnye kuni, egameni likaYesu Krestu, ukuze nixolelwe izono zenu. Niya kwamkela ke isipho soMoya oyiNgcwele. |
| 2:39 | Kuba idinga likuwe noonyana bakho, nakubo bonke abakude: kuba abo babiziweyo iNkosi uThixo wethu. |
| 2:40 | Ke ngoku, ngamanye amagama amaninzi, wangqina, wabavuselela, esithi, “Zisindiseni kwesi sizukulwana singendawo.” |
| 2:41 | Ngoko ke, abo bayamkelayo intetho yakhe babhaptizwa. Kongezelelwa ngaloo mini imiphefumlo engathi imawaka mathathu. |
| 2:42 | Ngoku babezingisa kwimfundiso yabaPostile, nakumthendeleko wokuqhekeza isonka, nasemithandazweni. |
| 2:43 | Kwaye kwakhula uloyiko kuyo yonke imiphefumlo. Kwakhona, Imimangaliso emininzi nemiqondiso yenziwa ngabapostile eYerusalem. Kwaye kukho uloyiko olukhulu kuye wonke umntu. |
| 2:44 | Baye ke bonke abakholwayo babendawonye, Baye ke bazigcina bedlelane ngeento zonke. |
| 2:45 | Babethengisa izinto zabo nezinto zabo, bezahlula kubo bonke, kanye njengoko bonke babeswele. |
| 2:46 | Kwakhona, baqhubeka, yonke imihla, babe ngabamxhelo mnye etempileni, baqhekeze isonka phakathi kwezindlu; Bakuba ke besidla ukudla benemigcobo, benolungelelwano lwentliziyo, |
| 2:47 | bemdumisa kakhulu uThixo, Ubabalwe ngabantu bonke. Kwaye yonke imihla, uYehova wabandisa abo basindiswayo phakathi kwabo. |

| 7:12 | Weva ke uYakobi ukuba kukho ingqolowa eYiputa, wabathuma oobawo bethu kuqala. |
| 7:13 | Kwaye kwisihlandlo sesibini, UYosefu waqondwa ngabakhuluwa bakhe, kwaye ukuzalwa kwakhe kwabonakala kuFaro. |
| 7:14 | UYosefu wathumela, wamzisa uYakobi uyise, nemizalwane yakhe yonke, imiphefumlo engamashumi asixhenxe anesihlanu. |

| 7:19 | Le, ejikeleza izalamane zethu, yabacinezela oobawo bethu, ukuze babhence iintsana zabo, hleze bagcinwe bephila. |
| 7:20 | Kwangelo xesha, Kwazalwa uMoses. Waye elubabalweni lukaThixo, wondliwa iinyanga zantathu endlwini kayise. |
| 7:21 | Emva koko, ulahliwe, yamzeka intombi kaFaro, wamkhulisa njengonyana wakhe. |
| 7:22 | Waqeqeshwa ke uMoses kubo bonke ubulumko bamaYiputa. Waye ekhaliphile ngamazwi akhe nangezenzo zakhe. |

| 7:27 | Ke yena owamenzakalisa ummelwane wakhe wamgatya, esithi: ‘Okumiseleyo ukuba ube yinkokeli nomgwebi phezu kwethu? |
| 7:28 | Inoba ufuna ukundibulala, njengokuba umbulele umYiputa izolo?' |
| 7:29 | Emva koko, ngeli lizwi, UMoses wasaba. Kwaye waba ngumphambukeli ezweni lakwaMidiyan, apho wazala oonyana ababini. |
| 7:30 | Kwathi kwakuzaliseka iminyaka emashumi mane, kwabonakala kuye, kwintlango yeSinayi, iNgelosi, elangatyeni lomlilo etyholweni. |
| 7:31 | Kwaye ekuboneni oku, UMoses wamangaliswa ngumbono lowo. Kwaye njengoko wasondelayo ukuze ayiqwalasele, kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kuye, esithi: |
| 7:32 | ‘NdinguThixo wooyihlo: uThixo ka-Abraham, uThixo kaIsake, noThixo kaYakobi.’ NoMoses, kwenziwa ukungcangcazela, akazange abe nobuganga bokukhangela. |
| 7:33 | Wathi uYehova kuye: ‘Khulula izihlangu ezinyaweni zakho. Kuba indawo leyo umi kuyo ingumhlaba ongcwele. |
| 7:34 | Ngokuqinisekileyo, Ndizibonile iintsizi zabantu bam abaseYiputa, yaye ndikuvile ukuncwina kwabo. Kwaye, ndiyehla ukuze ndibakhulule. Kwaye ngoku, phuma ke, ndokuthumela eYiputa. |
| 7:35 | NguMoses lo, abamcekisayo ngokuthi, ‘Okumiseleyo ukuba ube yinkokeli nomgwebi?’ nguye owathunywa nguThixo ukuba abe yinkokeli nomhlawuleli, ngesandla sesithunywa esabonakalayo kuye etyholweni. |
| 7:36 | Le ndoda yabakhupha, owenza imiqondiso nezimanga ezweni laseYiputa, nakuLwandle oluBomvu, nasentlango, iminyaka engamashumi amane. |
| 7:37 | NguMoses lo, owathi koonyana bakaSirayeli: ‘UThixo uya kunivelisela umprofeti onjengam kubazalwana benu. uze umphulaphule yena.’ |
| 7:38 | Nguye lo wayesebandleni entlango, kunye nesithunywa eso sasithetha naye entabeni yeSinayi, kunye noobawo bethu. Nguye owamkela amazwi obomi ukuze asinike. |

| 7:41 | Kwaye ngoko benza ithole ngaloo mihla, babingelela kwisithixo, Baye ke begcoba yimisebenzi yezandla zabo. |
| 7:42 | Wajika ke uThixo, wabanikela, ukuthobela imikhosi yezulu, kanye njengoko kubhaliwe encwadini yabaprofeti: ‘Anizange nindenzele amaxhoba nemibingelelo na kum iminyaka engamashumi amane entlango?, Owu ndlu kaSirayeli? |
| 7:43 | Nasuka nathwala umnquba kaMoleki, Nenkwenkwezi yothixo wenu uRemfan., imifanekiso enayenzayo ngokwenu ukuba niqubude kuyo. Kwaye ke ndiya kukuthwala kude, ngaphaya kweBhabhiloni.’ |
| 7:44 | Umnquba wesingqino wawukoobawo bethu entlango;, kanye njengoko uThixo wabamiselayo, ethetha noMoses, ukuze awenze ngokomfanekiso abewubonile. |
| 7:45 | Kodwa oobawo bethu, ukuyifumana, nayo yazisa, kunye noYoshuwa, kwilizwe leentlanga, awabagxothayo uThixo ebusweni boobawo, kwada kwayimihla kaDavide, |
| 7:46 | owababalwa nguThixo, wacela ukuba amfumanele uThixo kaYakobi umnquba. |
| 7:47 | Kodwa uSolomon wamakhela indlu. |
| 7:48 | Kanti yena Osenyangweni akahlali zindlwini zakhiwe ngezandla, kanye njengoko watshoyo ngomprofeti: |
| 7:49 | ‘Izulu liyitrone yam, ihlabathi ke sisihlalo seenyawo zam. Yindlu enjani le eniya kundakhela yona?? utsho uYehova. Kwaye yeyiphi indawo yam yokuphumla? |
| 7:50 | Asisandla sam na, esenza zonke ezo zinto??' |

| 7:52 | Kubo abaprofeti nguwuphi na ongatshutshiswanga ngooyihlo?? Kwaye bababulala abo bakuxela kwangaphambili ukuza kwaLowo uliLungisa. Ke nina ngoku naba ngabamngcatshi nababulali bakhe. |
| 7:53 | Umthetho nawufumana ngezenzo zezithunywa zezulu, ukanti aniyigcinanga. |
| 7:54 | Emva koko, bakuva ezi zinto, babenzakele ngokunzulu ezintliziyweni zabo, bamtshixizela amazinyo. |
| 7:55 | Kodwa yena, ezaliswe nguMoya oyiNgcwele, yaye wondele ezulwini, wabubona ubuqaqawuli bukaThixo, noYesu emi ngasekunene kukaThixo. Uye wathi, “Khangela!, Ndibona amazulu evulekile, noNyana woMntu emi ngasekunene kukaThixo.” |
| 7:56 | Emva koko bona, edanduluka ngelizwi elikhulu, wavala iindlebe zabo kwaye, ngamxhelo mnye, bagxalathelana kuye ngogonyamelo. |
| 7:57 | Waza wamkhupha, ngaphaya kwesixeko, bamxuluba ngamatye. Kwaye amangqina azibeka iingubo zawo ecaleni kweenyawo zomfana, owayebizwa ngokuba nguSawule. |
| 7:58 | Kwaye njengoko babemxuluba ngamatye uStefano, wakhwaza wathi, “Nkosi uYesu, wamkele umoya wam. |
| 7:59 | Emva koko, eguqe ngamadolo, Wadanduluka ngelizwi elikhulu, esithi, “Nkosi, uze ungasibaleli kubo esi sono. Akuba etshilo, walala ubuthongo eNkosini. Waye ke uSawule ekuthakazela abulawe. |
IZenzo zabaPostile 8

| 8:15 | Kwaye xa befika, babathandazela, ukuze bamamkele uMoya oyiNgcwele. |
| 8:16 | Kuba ebengekafiki nakuwuphi na phakathi kwabo, kuba babebhaptiziwe nje egameni leNkosi uYesu. |

| 12:18 | Emva koko, kwafika ilanga, kwakungekho ngxokolo incinane phakathi kwamajoni, ukuba kwenzeka ntoni na ngoPetros. |
| 12:19 | Uthe ke uHerode, akumcela, akafumana, emva kokuba oonogada bencinwe, wathi mabarholwe. Kwaye wehla evela kwelakwaYuda waya eKesareya, walala khona. |

| 12:22 | Batsho bekhala abantu, “Ilizwi lothixo, hayi owamntu!” |
| 12:23 | Kwaye ngoko nangoko, Ingelosi kaYehova yamxabela, ngokuba ebengamzukisanga uThixo. Kwaye sele etyiwe ziimpethu, waphelelwa lixesha. |
| 12:24 | Laye ke likhula, lisanda ilizwi leNkosi. |
| 12:25 | Emva koko uBharnabhas noSawule, emva kokuba egqibile ubulungiseleli, babuya eYerusalem, beza noYohane, owayebizwa ngokuba nguMarko. |
IZenzo zabaPostile 13
| 13:1 | Ngoku zazikho, kwibandla lakwa-Antiyokwe, abaprofeti nabafundisi, ekwakukho phakathi kwabo uBharnabhas, noSimon, owayebizwa ngokuba nguMnyama, noLukiyo waseKirene, kunye noManahen, owayengumninawa kaHerode umphathi wesahlulo sesine, noSawule. |
| 13:2 | Ke kaloku njengoko babelungiselela iNkosi, bezila ukudla, Wathi uMoya oyiNgcwele kubo: “Ndahluleleni uSawule noBharnabhas, ngenxa yomsebenzi endibanyulele wona. |
| 13:3 | Emva koko, bezila ukudla, bethandaza, bebeka izandla phezu kwabo, babandulula. |
| 13:4 | Kwaye uthunywe nguMoya oyiNgcwele, baya kwaSeluki. Besuka khona apho ngomkhombe, baya eSipro. |
| 13:5 | Bathe bakufika eSalamis, babeshumayela iLizwi likaThixo kwizindlu zesikhungu zamaYuda. BabenoYohane ke emsebenzini. |
| 13:6 | Kwaye xa babesihambile isiqithi sonke, ndiye ePafo, bafumana indoda ethile, igqirha, umprofeti wobuxoki, umYuda, ogama linguBhar-yesu. |
| 13:7 | Wayekunye nebamba, uSergiyo Pawulos, indoda enengqondo. Le ndoda, ebiza uBharnabhas noSawule, wayefuna ukuva iLizwi likaThixo. |
| 13:8 | Kodwa uElimas umkhafuli (kuba igama lakhe liguqulelwa ngokunjalo) wema nxamnye nabo, befuna ukulijika ibamba elukholweni. |
| 13:9 | Emva koko uSawule, okwabizwa ngokuba nguPawulos, nizaliswe nguMoya oyiNgcwele, wamjonga ngenyameko, |
| 13:10 | watsho: “Ngako oko kuzele yiyo yonke inkohliso nabo bonke ubuxoki, unyana kaMtyholi, lutshaba lwabo bonke ubulungisa, akuyeki ukuzigqwetha iindlela zikaYehova! |
| 13:11 | Kwaye ngoku, khangela, isandla sikaYehova siphezu kwakho. Kwaye uya kuba yimfama, ndingaliboni ilanga ixesha elide.” Kwaye ngoko nangoko kwawela inkungu kunye nobumnyama phezu kwakhe. Kwaye ebhadula, wayefuna umntu ongamqhubayo ngesandla. |
| 13:12 | Emva koko ibamba, akukubona okwenzekileyo, bakholwa, bemangalisiwe yimfundiso yeNkosi. |
| 13:13 | Kwaye xa uPawulos nabo babenaye banduluka ngomkhombe ePafo, Bafika ePerga yasePamfili. Wemka ke uYohane kubo, wabuyela eYerusalem. |
| 13:14 | Kodwa ngokwenene, bona, bemka ePerga, wafika kwa-Antiyokwe yasePisidi. Kwaye ekungeneni kwindlu yesikhungu ngomhla weSabatha, bahlala phantsi. |
| 13:15 | Emva koko, emva kokufundwa koMthetho nabaprofeti, Abaphathi bendlu yesikhungu bathumela kubo, esithi: “Abazalwana abadumileyo, ukuba kuthe kwakho kuni ilizwi lovuselelo olu ebantwini, thetha.” |
| 13:16 | Emva koko uPawulos, ephakama ewangawangisa ngesandla ukuba kuthuleke, watsho: “Madoda akwaSirayeli, nani nimoyikayo uThixo, phulaphula ngenyameko. |
| 13:17 | UThixo woonyana bakaSirayeli wabanyula oobawo;, wabaphakamisa abantu, xa babephambukele kwilizwe laseYiputa. Kwaye ngengalo ephakamileyo, wabakhupha apho. |
| 13:18 | Kwaye kulo lonke ixesha leminyaka engamashumi amane, Wayinyamezela imikhwa yabo entlango. |
| 13:19 | Ngokutshabalalisa iintlanga ezisixhenxe ezweni lakwaKanan, wababela ilizwe labo ngeqashiso, |
| 13:20 | emva kweminyaka emalunga namakhulu amane anamashumi amahlanu. Kwaye emva kwezi zinto, wabanika abagwebi, kwada kwafika umprofeti uSamuweli. |
| 13:21 | Kwaye kamva, babongoza ukumkani. Kwaye uThixo wabanika uSawule, unyana kaKishe, indoda yesizwe sakwaBhenjamin, iminyaka engamashumi amane. |
| 13:22 | Waza wamsusa, wabavelisela ukumkani uDavide. Kwaye enikela ubungqina ngaye, uthe, ‘Ndimfumene uDavide, unyana kaYese, ndibe yindoda ngokwentliziyo yam, oya kukufeza konke endikwenzayo.’ |
| 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. |
| 13:30 | Kodwa ngokwenene, UThixo wamvusa kwabafileyo ngomhla wesithathu. |
| 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
| 14:1 | Kwathi ke eIkoniyo, bangena kunye endlwini yesikhungu yamaYuda, Bathetha ngokokude kukholwe inkitha enkulu yamaYuda kwanamaGrike. |
| 14:2 | Kodwa ngokwenene, amaYuda awayengakholwayo ayeyixhokonxile yaye eyitshisa imiphefumlo yabeeNtlanga nxamnye nabazalwana. |
| 14:3 | Kwaye, bahlala ixesha elide, nisenza ngokuthembeka eNkosini, enikela ubungqina kwiLizwi lobabalo lwakhe, besenza imiqondiso nezimanga ngezandla zabo. |
| 14:4 | Yahlulelana ke inkoliso yomzi;. Kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo, abanye babekunye namaYuda, ukanti abanye ngokwenene babekunye nabapostile. |
| 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. |
| 14:10 | Kodwa zakukubona oko izihlwele uPawulos akwenzileyo, baliphakamisa ilizwi labo ngesiLikawoni, esithi, “Oothixo, ethabathe imizekeliso yabantu, behla beza kuthi!” |
| 14:11 | Bambiza ke uBharnabhas, ‘UJupiter,’ ukanti ngokwenene bambiza uPawulos, ‘IMercury,’ ngenxa yokuba wayesisithethi esikhokelayo. |
| 14:12 | Kwakhona, umbingeleli kaZeyus, owayengaphandle komzi, phambi kwesango, bezisa iinkomo nezidanga, wayezimisele ukubingelela kunye nabantu. |
| 14:13 | Kwaye ngokukhawuleza njengoko abapostile, uBharnabhas noPawulos, wayeyivile le nto, bazikrazula iingubo zabo zangaphantsi, batsibela eso sihlwele, ekhala |
| 14:14 | kwaye esithi: “Madoda, kutheni unokwenza oku? Nathi singabantu abafayo, amadoda anjengani, ndishumayela kuni ukuba niguquke, kwezi zinto zililize, kuThixo ophilileyo, umenzi wezulu nomhlaba, nolwandle, neento zonke ezikwezo zinto;. |
| 14:15 | Kwizizukulwana ezidlulileyo, wazivumela zonke iintlanga ukuba zihambe ngeendlela zazo. |
| 14:16 | Kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo, akazishiyanga ngokwakhe ngaphandle kobungqina, esenza okulungileyo emazulwini, enika iimvula namaxesha aneendyebo, ezizalisa iintliziyo zabo ngokudla nangemihlali. |
| 14:17 | Kwaye ngokuthetha ezi zinto, babengakwazi ukuzinqanda izihlwele ukuba zingaqhumiseli kubo. |
| 14:18 | Ke kaloku kwafika amaYuda evela kwa-Antiyokwe naseIkoniyo. Beyisela isihlwele, bamgibisela ngamatye uPawulos, bamrholela ngaphandle komzi, ecinga ukuba ufile. |
| 14:19 | Kodwa njengoko abafundi babemi ngakuye, waphakama wangena esixekweni. Kwaye ngosuku olulandelayo, wemka noBharnabhas ukuya eDerbhe. |
| 14:20 | Bakuba bewushumayezile loo mzi, kwaye wayefundise abaninzi, babuya beza eListra, naseIkoniyo, nakwa-Antiyokwe, |
| 14:21 | besomeleza imiphefumlo yabafundi, bebavuselela ukuba bahlale behleli elukholweni, nokuba kuyimfuneko ukuba singene ebukumkanini bukaThixo ngokuphumela kwiimbandezelo ezininzi. |
| 14:22 | Kwaye xa bemise ababingeleli kubo kwibandla ngalinye, waye ethandazile ngokuzila ukudla, bawanikela kuYehova, ababekholwa kuye. |
| 14:23 | Yaye ehamba ngendlela yasePisidi, bafika ePamfiliya. |
| 14:24 | Kwaye belithetha ilizwi leNkosi ePerga, behla baya kwa-Atali. |
| 14:25 | Kwaye ukusuka apho, bemka ngomkhombe, baya kwa-Antiyokwe, apho babenikelwe elubabalweni lukaThixo, ukuba baye emsebenzini, lowo sebewufezile ngoku. |
| 14:26 | Befikile ke, balihlanganisa ibandla, baxela izinto ezinkulu azenzileyo uThixo ngabo, nendlela azivulele ngayo iintlanga ucango lokholo. |
| 14:27 | Bahlala ke nabo abafundi ixesha elingelincinane. |
IZenzo zabaPostile 15
| 15:1 | Kwaye abathile, esihla evela kwelakwaYuda, babefundisa abazalwana, Ukuba anithanga naluswe ngokwesiko likaMoses, aninako ukusindiswa. |
| 15:2 | Ngoko ke, xa uPawulos noBharnabhas benza imvukelo engencinane kubo, bagqiba kwelokuba uPawulos noBharnabhas, kwaye abanye bevela kwicala elichasayo, bafanele ukunyuka baye kuBapostile nababingeleli eYerusalem malunga nalo mbuzo. |
| 15:3 | Ngoko ke, bekhokelwa libandla, balityhutyha elaseFenike nelaseSamariya, echaza ukuguquka kweeNtlanga. Babanga uvuyo olukhulu kubo bonke abazalwana. |
| 15:4 | Kwaye xa bafika eYerusalem, bamkelwa libandla nangabapostile nangamadoda amakhulu, bebalisa oko zingako izinto uThixo azenzileyo ngabo. |
| 15:5 | Kodwa abanye bephuma kwihlelo labaFarisi, abo babengamakholwa, waphakama esithi, “Kuyimfuneko ukuba baluke baze bafundiswe ukuba bawugcine uMthetho kaMoses.” |
| 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. |
| 15:38 | Kodwa uPawulos wayesithi akafanele ukwamkelwa, kuba wemka kubo kwelasePamfili, akahambanga nabo emsebenzini. |
| 15:39 | Kwabakho ukungavisisani, kangangokuba bade bemka omnye komnye. noBharnabhas, ngokwenene ukuthatha uMarko, waya eSipro. |
| 15:40 | Kodwa ngokwenene, UPawulos, ekhetha uSilas, isetwe yonke, benikelwe kubabalo lukaThixo ngabazalwana. |
| 15:41 | Walityhutyha ke elaseSiriya nelaseKiliki, eqinisekisa amaBandla, bebayalela ukuba bayigcine imimiselo yabapostile namadoda amakhulu. |
IZenzo zabaPostile 16
| 16:1 | Emva koko wafika eDerbhe naseListra. Kwaye khangela, bekukho mfundi uthile apho, ugama linguTimoti, unyana womfazi othembekileyo ongumYuda, uyise engoweNtlanga. |
| 16:2 | Babemngqinela kakuhle abazalwana baseListra naseIkoniyo. |

| 22:13 | wasondela kum wema kufutshane, watsho kum, ‘Umzalwana uSawule, bona!’ Yaye kwangelo lixa, Ndamjonga. |

| 22:22 | Ngoku babemphulaphule, kude kube eli lizwi, kwaye ke baliphakamisa ilizwi labo, esithi: Lususeni olu hlobo emhlabeni! Kuba akufanelekile ukuba adle ubomi!” |

| 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?” |
