IzEnzo 12

¹Ngaleso sikhathi uHerode inkosi welula izandla ukuba ahluphe abathile bebandla.

²Wabulala uJakobe umfowabo kaJohane ngenkemba.

³Kwathi ebona ukuthi lokho kuwathokozisa amaJuda, waqhubeka wabamba loPetro. (Khona-ke kwakuyizinsuku zesinkwa esingenamvubelo.)

⁴Esembambile, wamfaka etilongweni, wamnikela ekamu lamabutho amane, ukuba amlinde; ehlose ukumkhuphela ebantwini emva kwePhasika.

⁵Ngakho uPetru wagcinwa etilongweni, kepha ibandla lamkhulekela kuNkulunkulu ngokungaphezi.

⁶Kwathi uHerode esezomkhipha, ngalobo busuku uPetru wayelele phakathi kwamasosha amabili, eboshwe ngamaketanga amabili, nabalindi phambi komnyango belinda itilongo.

⁷Bheka, ingelosi yeNkosi yeza phezu kwakhe, nokukhanya kwakhanya etilongweni, yamshaya uPetru ohlangothini, yamvusa, yathi: “Vuka masinyane. Futhi amaketanga akhe awela ezandleni zakhe.

⁸Ingilosi yasisithi kuye: Bhinca, ubophe amanyathela akho. Wenza kanjalo. Wasesithi kuye: Gqoka isembatho sakho, ungilandele.

⁹Wasephuma, wamlandela; futhi wayengazi ukuthi kuyiqiniso okwenziwa yingelosi; kodwa wacabanga ukuthi ubona umbono.

¹⁰Sebedlule abalindi bokuqala nabesibili, bafika esangweni lensimbi eliya emzini; owabavulela ngokwakhe; baphuma, badlula umgwaqo munye; ingilosi yahle yasuka kuye.

¹¹Kwathi uPetru esesangulukile wathi: “Manje sengiyazi ngeqiniso ukuthi iNkosi ithumile ingelosi yayo, yangikhulula esandleni sikaHerode nakukho konke abantu abaJuda ababekulindele.

¹²Esekubonile lokho, wafika endlini kaMariya unina kaJohane othiwa uMarku; lapho ababebuthene khona abanengi bekhuleka.

¹³Kwathi uPetro engqongqotha emnyango wesango, intombazana yeza ukulalela, ibizo layo linguRoda.

¹⁴Kuthe selilazi izwi likaPetru, alivulanga isango ngenxa yokuthokoza, kodwa wagijima wabika ukuthi uPetru wayemi phambi kwesango.

¹⁵Bathi kuye: “Uyahlanya. Kodwa wayelokhu egcizelela ukuthi kunjalo. Base bethi: “Yingelosi yakhe.”

¹⁶Kodwa uPetru waqhubeka engqongqoza; sebevule umnyango bambona, bamangala.

¹⁷Kodwa wabaqhweba ngesandla ukuthi bathule, wabalandisela ukuthi iNkosi imkhuphe njani entolongweni. Wathi: “Bikelani uJakobe nakubazalwane lokho.” Wasuka, waya kwenye indawo.

¹⁸Kwathi sekusile, kwaba khona isiphithiphithi esingesincane phakathi kwamabutho kokuthi uPetro wehlelwe yini.

¹⁹Kwathi uHerode emfuna engamtholi, waphenya abalindi, wayala ukuba babulawe. Wehla eJudiya, waya eKesariya, wahlala khona.

²⁰Kepha uHerode wayebathukuthelele abaseTire nabaseSidoni; ngoba ilizwe labo londliwa yilizwe lenkosi.

²¹Kwathi ngosuku olumisiweyo uHerode wembatha ingubo yobukhosi, wahlala esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi, wakhuluma kubo.

²²Abantu basebememeza besithi: Yizwi likaNkulunkulu, akusilo elomuntu.

²³Kwathi masinyane ingelosi yeNkosi yamshaya, ngokuba enganikanga uNkulunkulu udumo; wadliwa yizimpethu, waphuma.

²⁴Kodwa izwi likaNkulunkulu lakhula, landa.

²⁵OBarnaba noSawulu babuya eJerusalema sebeqedile inkonzo yabo, bahamba noJohane othiwa uMarku.
