¹UPawuli wawugqolozela umphakathi, wathi: “Madoda, bazalwane, mina ngihambile phambi kukaNkulunkulu nginonembeza wonke omuhle kuze kube namuhla.

²Umpristi omkhulu u-Ananiya wayala ababemi eduze kwakhe ukuba bamshaye emlonyeni.

³UPawuli wasesithi kuye: UNkulunkulu uzakutshaya wena ludonga olucakiweyo;

⁴Lababemi khona bathi: Uthuka umpristi omkhulu kaNkulunkulu yini?

⁵UPawuli wasesithi: Bengingazi, bazalwane, ukuthi ungumpristi omkhulu;

⁶Kodwa uPawuli esekwazi ukuthi enye ingxenye ingabaSadusi lelinye ingabaFarisi, wamemeza emphakathini wathi: Madoda, bazalwane, mina ngingumFarisi, indodana yomFarisi; umbuzo.

⁷Eseshilo lokho, kwavela ukungezwani phakathi kwabaFarisi nabaSadusi, uquqaba lwahlukana phakathi.

⁸Ngokuba abaSadusi bathi akukho ukuvuka kwabafileyo, nangelosi, namoya, kepha abaFarisi bakuvuma kokubili.

⁹Kwase kuba khona ukukhala okukhulu, ababhali besigaba sabaFarisi basukuma baphikisana, besithi: Kasitholi okubi kulumuntu;

¹⁰Kwathi sekuqubuka ukuphikisana okukhulu, induna yenkulungwane yesaba ukuthi uPawuli ungahle adwetshulwe yibo, yalaya amabutho ukuthi ehle, amthathe phakathi kwabo, amngenise enqabeni.

¹¹Ngobusuku obulandelayo iNkosi yema ngakuye, yathi: “Yima isibindi, uPawulu;

¹²Kwathi sekusile, abaJuda benza icebo, bazibopha ngesiqalekiso, bathi abayikudla, bangaphuzi, bengakambulali uPawulu.

¹³Babengaphezu kwamashumi amane abenze lelo tulo.

¹⁴Bona-ke beza kubapristi abakhulu labadala bathi: Sizibophe ngesiqalekiso, ukuthi kasiyikudla lutho singakambulali uPawuli.

¹⁵Ngakho-ke nina kanye nomphakathi bonisani induna yenkulungwane ukuba imehlisele kini kusasa ngokungathi nifuna ukuhlolisisa kahle okumayelana naye;

¹⁶Kwathi indodana kadadewabo kaPawuli isizwile ngokuqamekela kwabo, yasuka yangena enkambeni yamabutho, yabikela uPawuli.

¹⁷UPawuli wasebizela kuye enye induna yekhulu, wathi: Yisa lelijaha enduneni yenkulungwane, ngoba lilendaba ethile kuyo.

¹⁸Yayibamba-ke, yayisa enduneni enkulu, yathi: “UPawuli isiboshwa ungibizile, wangincenga ukuba ngilethe leli nsizwa kuwe, linento ezokhuluma kuwe.

¹⁹Induna yenkulungwane yasibamba isandla salo, yahamba laye ngasese, yasibuza yathi: Kuyini ozangitshela khona?

²⁰Yathi: “AbaJuda bavumelene ukukucela ukuba wehlisele uPawuli emphakathini kusasa, kungathi bafuna ukuhlolisisa kahle okunye ngaye.

²¹Kodwa ungabayekeli, ngoba kubo bamqamekele amadoda angaphezu kwamatshumi amane, azibophe ngesifungo ukuthi kabayikudla lokunatha aze ambulale; kalokhu aselungile, akhangele. Ngesithembiso esivela kuwe.

²²Khona induna yenkulungwane yayisiyiyeke insizwa, yayiyala ngokuthi: “Bheka, ungatsheli muntu ukuthi ungibikele lokho.

²³Yasibizela kuye izinduna zekhulu ezimbili, yathi: “Lungisani amasosha angamakhulu amabili ukuba aye eKesariya, nabamahhashi abangamashumi ayisikhombisa, nababikhonto abangamakhulu amabili, ngehora lesithathu lobusuku;

²⁴nilungisele nezilwane, ukuze bamkhwelise uPawulu, bamyise kuFeliksi umbusi ephephile.

²⁵Wasebhala incwadi kanje:

²⁶UKlawudiyu Lisiya kuMbusi odumileyo uFeliksi uyakhonza.

²⁷Lendoda yayibanjwe ngabaJuda, yayizakubulawa yiwo, ngase ngifika nebutho, ngayophula, ngimazi ukuthi ingumRoma.

²⁸Kuthe sengifuna ukwazi icala abayimangalela ngalo, ngamkhiphela emphakathini wabo;

²⁹engabona ukuthi imangalelwe ngemibuzo yomthetho wawo, kodwa ingamangalelwa ngalutho olufanele ukufa nokuboshwa.

³⁰Kwathi sengitsheliwe ukuthi abaJuda babeqamekele lowo muntu, ngathumela kuwe masinyane, ngase ngibayala abammangalelayo ukuba bakhulume phambi kwakho ngalokho abanawo ngakuyo. Ukuvalelisa.

³¹Khona amasosha amthatha uPawulu njengokulaywa kwawo, amyisa e-Antipatri ebusuku.

³²Ngangomuso bashiya abamahhashi ukuba bahambe naye, babuyela enqabeni;

³³okwathi sebefikile eKesariya, banika umbusi incwadi, bethula loPawuli phambi kwakhe.

³⁴Kwathi umbusi eseyifundile incwadi, wabuza ukuthi ungowasiphi isifunda; Kwathi esezwile ukuthi ungowaseKhilikhiya;

³⁵Wathi ngizakuzwa, nxa abamangaleli bakho sebefikile. Wayala ukuba agcinwe endlini yokwahlulela kaHerode.
