IzEnzo 21

¹Kwathi sesimukile kubo, sasuka ngomkhumbi, saqonda ngqo eKhose, ngangomuso eRodu, sasuka lapho safika ePhathara;

²Sathola umkhumbi owelela eFenike, sangena kuwo, samuka.

³Kwathi sesiyibonile iKhupro, sayishiya ngakwesokhohlo, sangena ngomkhumbi eSiriya, sehla eTire, ngokuba umkhumbi wawuzakwethula khona umthwalo wawo.

⁴Safumana abafundi, sahlala khona izinsuku eziyisikhombisa; bona bathi kuPawulu ngoMoya angenyukeli eJerusalema.

⁵Kwathi sesiqedile lezo zinsuku, saphuma sahamba; bonke basiphelekezela kanye nawomkabo nabantwana, kwaze kwaba ngaphandle komuzi; saguqa ogwini, sakhuleka.

⁶Kwathi sesivalelisane, sangena emkhunjini; babuyela ekhaya futhi.

⁷Sathi sesiqedile uhambo lwethu sisuka eTire, safika ePetolemayi, sabingelela abazalwane, sahlala nabo usuku lwaba lunye.

⁸Ngangomuso sasuka, safika eKesariya, sangena endlini kaFiliphu umvangeli, owayengomunye wabayisikhombisa; wahlala laye.

⁹Yena lowo wayenamadodakazi amane, izintombi eziprofetha.

¹⁰Sathi sihlezi khona izinsuku eziningi, kwehla eJudiya umprofethi ogama lakhe lingu-Agabu.

¹¹Kwathi esefikile kithi, wathatha ibhande likaPawuli, wazibopha izandla lenyawo, wathi: Utsho njalo uMoya oNgcwele, ngokunjalo abaJuda eJerusalema bazabopha indoda ephethe lelibhanti, njalo bazamnikela ejele izandla zabezizwe.

¹²Kwathi sesikuzwile lokho, samncenga thina kanye labakuleyondawo ukuthi angenyukeli eJerusalema.

¹³UPawuli wasephendula wathi: Litshoni ukukhala lichoboza inhliziyo yami? ngoba mina angilungele ukubotshwa kuphela, kodwa lokufa eJerusalema ngenxa yebizo leNkosi uJesu.

¹⁴Kwathi engavumi ukuvunyiswa, sathula sathi: Mayenziwe intando yeNkosi.

¹⁵Emva kwalezo zinsuku sathatha impahla yethu, senyukela eJerusalema.

¹⁶Kwasekuhamba lathi abanye babafundi baseKesariya, basisa kuMnasoni waseKhupro, obengumfundi omdala, ebesizangenisa kuye.

¹⁷Kwathi sesifikile eJerusalema, abazalwane basemukela ngokuthokoza.

¹⁸Ngangomuso uPawulu wangena nathi kuJakobe; labadala bonke babekhona.

¹⁹Wababingelela, wabalandisa ngazo zonke izinto uNkulunkulu abezenzile phakathi kwabezizwe ngenkonzo yakhe.

²⁰Sebezwile bayidumisa iNkosi, bathi kuye: “Uyabona, mfowethu, ukuthi zingaki izigidi zabakholwayo abaJuda; futhi bonke bashisekela umthetho;

²¹Sebebikelwe ngawe ukuthi ufundisa bonke abaJuda abaphakathi kwabezizwe ukuhlubuka kuMose, uthi bangasoki abantwana babo, bangahambi ngamasiko.

²²Ngakho kuyini? ixuku limele ukubuthana, ngoba lizakuzwa ukuthi ufikile.

²³Ngakho yenza lokhu esikusho kuwe: Sinamadoda amane anesithembiso phezu kwawo;

²⁴Bathathe, uzihlambulule kanye nabo, ube necala kubo, ukuze baphuce amakhanda abo, bazi bonke ukuthi akulutho lokho abakubikelwe ngawe; kodwa ukuthi lawe uhamba ngokufaneleyo njalo ugcina umlayo.

²⁵Mayelana nabezizwe abakholwayo silobile, saphetha ngokuthi bangagcini okunje, kuphela ukuba bazigcine entweni ehlatshelwe izithombe, nasegazini, nasekokuklinyiweyo, nasebufebeni.

²⁶UPawuli wasewathatha amadoda, kusisa ezihlambulule kanye lawo, wangena ethempelini, ukutshengisa ukuphela kwensuku zokuhlanjululwa, kuze kunikelelwe umnikelo wawo wonke.

²⁷Kwathi sezizaphela lezonsuku eziyisikhombisa, abaJuda beAsiya, bembona ethempelini, badunga ixuku lonke, bambamba;

²⁸ememeza esithi: Madoda akwaIsrayeli, sizani! Lona nguye umuntu ofundisa bonke ezindaweni zonke okuphambene nabantu, nomthetho, nalendawo, futhi engenisa namaGreki ethempelini, wayingcolisa le ndawo engcwele.

²⁹(Ngokuba babebone ngaphambili uTrofimu wase-Efesu enaye emzini, ababecabanga ukuthi uPawulu umngenise ethempelini.)

³⁰Umuzi wonke wanyakaza, abantu bagijima kanyekanye, bambamba uPawulu, bamdonsela ngaphandle kwethempeli, kwavalwa masinyane iminyango.

³¹Kwathi besafuna ukumbulala, kwafika umbiko enduneni yenkulungwane ukuthi lonke iJerusalema liyayaluza.

³²Yona yahle yathatha amasosha nezinduna zekhulu, yagijimela kubo;

³³Induna yenkulungwane yayisisondela, yambamba, yayala ukuba aboshwe ngamaketanga amabili; wabuza ukuthi ungubani nokuthi wenzeni.

³⁴Abanye phakathi kwesixuku bamemeza okunye, abanye okunye, kepha engakwazi ukuqiniseka ngenxa yesiyaluyalu, wayala ukuba ayiswe ekamu.

³⁵Esefikile ezitebhisini, wathwalwa ngamasosha ngenxa yobudlova babantu.

³⁶Ngoba ixuku labantu lalilandela limemeza lisithi: Msuse!

³⁷Kwathi uPawuli esezangeniswa enkambeni yamabutho, wathi enduneni yenkulungwane: Ngingakhuluma lawe yini? Yathi: “Uyakwazi ukukhuluma isiGreki na?

³⁸Awuyena lowo mGibhithe owasusa isiyaluyalu ngaphambi kwalezi zinsuku, waholela ehlane amadoda ayizinkulungwane ezine angababulali na?

³⁹Kodwa uPawuli wathi: Mina ngiyindoda engumJuda waseTarsu yeKhilikhiya, isakhamuzi somuzi ongelutho;

⁴⁰Kwathi esemnike imvume, uPawulu wema ezikhwelweni, waqhweba abantu ngesandla. Kwathi sekuthuleke kakhulu, wakhuluma kubo ngolimi lwesiHeberu, wathi:
