IzEnzo 11

¹Abaphostoli nabazalwane baseJudiya bezwa ukuthi nabezizwe balamukele izwi likaNkulunkulu.

²Kwathi uPetru esekhuphukele eJerusalema, abokusoka baphikisana naye;

³besithi: Wangena ebantwini abangasokanga, wadla labo.

⁴Kodwa uPetro wayilandisa indaba kwasekuqaleni, wabachasisela ngomlayo, esithi:

⁵Mina ngangisemzini waseJopha ngikhuleka, ngase ngibona ethongweni umbono, kwehla isitsha esithile, sinjengendwangu enkulu, sehliswa ngamachopho omane sivela ezulwini; lafika nakimi.

⁶Okwathi ngigqolozele kukho, ngabona, ngabona izilwane zomhlaba ezinezinyawo ezine, nezilo zasendle, nezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo, nezinyoni zezulu.

⁷Ngasengisizwa ilizwi lisithi kimi: Sukuma, Petro; hlaba udle.

⁸Kodwa ngathi: Qha, Nkosi, ngokuba akukho okuyichilo nokungcolileyo akuzange kungene emlonyeni wami.

⁹Kodwa izwi langiphendula futhi livela ezulwini, lathi: Lokho uNkulunkulu akuhlambululileyo, wena ungasho ukuthi kungcolile.

¹⁰Lokho kwenzeka kathathu, konke kwabuye kwenyuselwa ezulwini.

¹¹Bheka, kwahle kwafika amadoda amathathu endlini engangikuyo, ethunywe kimi evela eKesariya.

¹²UMoya wayesethi kimi ngihambe nawo, ngingangabazi ngalutho. Bahamba nami nalaba bazalwane abayisithupha, sangena endlini yalowo muntu;

¹³Yasibikela ukuthi yayibone ingelosi endlini yayo imi, yathi kuye: ‘Thuma amadoda eJopha, ubize uSimoni othiwa uPetru;

¹⁴ozakukhuluma kuwe amazwi, ozasindiswa ngawo wena lendlu yakho yonke.

¹⁵Kwathi ngisaqala ukukhuluma, uMoya oNgcwele wehlela phezu kwabo, njengalokhu wehlela kithi ekuqaleni.

¹⁶Ngase ngikhumbula izwi leNkosi ukuthi yathi: ‘UJohane wabhapathiza ngamanzi; kodwa lina lizabhabhathizwa ngoMoya oNgcwele.

¹⁷Ngakho-ke njengokuba uNkulunkulu ebanikile isipho esifana naso njengathi thina esakholwa yiNkosi uJesu Kristu; mina bengiyini ukuba ngimelane noNkulunkulu na?

¹⁸Sebezwile lezizinto bathula, bamdumisa uNkulunkulu, besithi: Ngakho uNkulunkulu unikile labezizwe ukuphendukela ekuphileni.

¹⁹Labo abahlakazekile ngokushushiswa okwavela ngoStefanu badabula baze bafika eFenike, naseKhupro, nase-Antiyokiya, bengalishumayeli izwi kubaJuda kuphela.

²⁰Abanye kubo kwakungamadoda aseKhupro naseKhurene, abathi sebefikile e-Antiyokiya, bakhuluma kumaGreki, beshumayela ivangeli ngeNkosi uJesu.

²¹Isandla seNkosi sasinabo, kwakholwa isixuku esikhulu saphendukela eNkosini.

²²Izindaba ezinjalo zezwakala ezindlebeni zebandla laseJerusalema, bathuma uBarnabasi ukuba ahambe aze afike e-Antiyokiya.

²³Owathi efika, esewubonile umusa kaNkulunkulu, wathokoza, wabakhuthaza bonke ukuthi banamathele eNkosini ngokuzimisela kwenhliziyo.

²⁴Ngokuba wayeyindoda enhle, egcwele uMoya oNgcwele nokukholwa; kwenezelwa eNkosini abantu abaningi.

²⁵UBarnabasi wasesuka waya eTarsu ukuyadinga uSawuli;

²⁶Esemtholile wamyisa e-Antiyokiya. Kwasekusithi umnyaka wonke babuthana ebandleni, bafundisa abantu abanengi. Futhi abafundi baqala ukubizwa ngokuthi amaKristu e-Antiyokiya.

²⁷Ngalezo zinsuku kwafika abaprofethi bevela eJerusalema, beza e-Antiyokiya.

²⁸Kwasekusukuma omunye wabo obizo lakhe lingu-Agabu, watshengisa ngoMoya ukuthi kuzakuba khona indlala enkulu emhlabeni wonke;

²⁹Khona abafundi bazimisela, kwaba yilowo nalowo njengamandla akhe, ukuthumela usizo kubazalwane abakhileyo eJudiya.

³⁰Bakwenza-ke lokho, bakuthumela emalungeni ngesandla sikaBarnaba noSawulu.
