IzEnzo 17

¹Sebedabule i-Amfipholi ne-Apholoniya, bafika eThesalonika, lapho kwakukhona isinagoge labaJuda.

²UPawuli njengomkhuba wakhe wangena kubo, lamasabatha amathathu wabonisana labo ngemibhalo.

³Evula efakaza ukuthi uKristu kwakumele ahlupheke, abuye avuke kwabafileyo; nokuthi uJesu lo, engimshumayeza nina, unguKristu.

⁴Abanye kubo bakholwa, bazihlanganisa noPawulu noSila; nesixuku esikhulu samaGreki akholwayo, nabesifazane abadumileyo abangeyingcosana.

⁵Kepha abaJuda abangakholwanga, benomona, bazithathela amadoda athile axhwalekileyo abenza okubi, abutha iviyo, avusa isiyaluyalu umuzi wonke, ahlasela indlu kaJasoni, afuna ukubakhiphela ngaphandle abantu.

⁶Kuthe bengabatholi, badonsela uJasoni labazalwane abathile kubaphathi bomuzi, bememeza besithi: Laba abaphambukise umhlaba wonke sebefikile lalapha;

⁷abamamukele uJasoni; bonke laba benza okuphambene nezimiso zikaKesari, bethi kukhona enye inkosi, uJesu.

⁸Bazihlupha izixuku nababusi bedolobha bezwa lokho.

⁹Sebethathele uJasoni labanye isibambiso, babakhulula.

¹⁰Khona masinyane abazalwane babamukisa uPawulu noSila ebusuku ukuba baye eBereya; bathi sebefikile, baya esinagogeni labaJuda.

¹¹Labo babenobuntu kunabaseThesalonika, balamukela izwi ngenhliziyo yonke, behlola imibhalo imihla ngemihla ukuthi zinjalo yini lezo zinto;

¹²Ngakho-ke abaningi kubo bakholwa; nabesifazane abahloniphekayo abangamaGreki, namadoda angeyingcosana.

¹³Kodwa kwathi abaJuda baseThesalonika sebezwile ukuthi ilizwi likaNkulunkulu litshunyayelwe nguPawuli eBereya, beza lakhona, bavusa ixuku.

¹⁴Khona masinyane abazalwane bamukisa uPawulu ukuba ahambe ngaselwandle, kepha oSila noThimothewu basala.

¹⁵Labaphelekezela uPawuli bamusa eAthene; sebemukele umlayo kuSilasi loThimothi wokuba beze kuye masinyane, bamuka.

¹⁶Kwathi uPawuli esabalindile eAthene, umoya wakhe wakhathazeka phakathi kwakhe ebona umuzi ugcwele izithombe.

¹⁷Ngakho waxoxa esinagogeni nabaJuda nabamesabayo, nasesigcawini imihla ngemihla nababehlangana naye.

¹⁸Kwasekumelana laye izazi ezithile zefilosofi zamaEpikhuru lamaStoyiki. Abanye bathi: Lizakuthini lelipholi? abanye bathi: “Ungathi ungumshumayeli wabangaziwa,” ngokuba wayeshumayela kubo ngoJesu nangokuvuka kwabafileyo.

¹⁹Base bembamba, bamusa e-Areyophagu, bathi: “Singakwazi yini ukwazi le mfundiso entsha oyikhulumayo na?

²⁰Ngokuba uletha ezindlebeni zethu izinto ezingaziwayo; ngakho-ke sifuna ukwazi ukuthi lezi zinto ziyini.

²¹Ngokuba bonke abase-Athene nabafokazi ababekhona babengachithi lutho ngokunye, kuphela ukuxoxa nokuzwa into entsha.

²²UPawuli wema phakathi kwentaba yaseMars, wathi: Madoda aseAthene, ezintweni zonke ngiyabona ukuthi likholwa kakhulu.

²³Ngokuba ngithe ngidlula ngibuka izinto enizikhonzayo, ngathola i-altare elilotshiwe ukuthi: KUNKULUNKULU ONGAZIWAYO. Ngakho-ke lowo enimkhonza ngokungazi, nguyena engimemezela kini.

²⁴UNkulunkulu owenza umhlaba nakho konke okukuwo, yena eyiNkosi yezulu nomhlaba, akahlali emathempelini enziwe ngezandla;

²⁵Kakhonzwa ngezandla zabantu njengoswela ulutho, yena onika bonke ukuphila lokuphefumula lakho konke;

²⁶Wazenza izizwe zonke ngegazi linye ukuba zihlale ebusweni bonke bomhlaba, wamisa izikhathi ezimisiweyo nemikhawulo yokuhlala kwazo;

²⁷ukuze bayifune iNkosi, mhlawumbe bayiphuthaze, bayithole, nakuba ingekude kulowo nalowo kithi;

²⁸Ngokuba kuye siphila, siyanyakaza, sikhona; njengalokhu izimbongi ezithile zakini zishilo ukuthi: Ngokuba nathi siyinzalo yakhe.

²⁹Ngakho lokhu siyinzalo kaNkulunkulu, akufanele sicabange ukuthi ubuNkulunkulu bufana negolide noma isiliva noma itshe, okuqoshwe ngobuciko nangesu lomuntu.

³⁰Nezikhathi zokungazi uNkulunkulu wazishaya indiva; kepha manje uyala abantu bonke ezindaweni zonke ukuba baphenduke;

³¹Ngokuba umisile usuku, ayokwahlulela ngalo izwe ngokulunga ngalowo muntu ammisile; enike bonke isiqinisekiso ngokumvusa kwabafileyo.

³²Sebezwile ngokuvuka kwabafileyo, abanye bahleka usulu, abanye bathi: “Sizakubuye sikuzwe ngale ndaba.”

³³Ngakho uPawuli wasuka phakathi kwabo.

³⁴Kepha amadoda athile anamathela kuye, akholwa, okukhona kuwo uDiyonisiyu waseAreyophago, nowesifazane ogama lakhe linguDamari, nabanye kanye nabo.
