IzEnzo 25

¹Kwathi uFestu esengenile esikhundleni, wasuka eKesariya emva kwezinsuku ezintathu, wenyukela eJerusalema.

²Khona umpristi omkhulu nezikhulu zabaJuda bamangalela uPawulu kuye, bamncenga.

³Bacela umusa ngaye ukuba ambize eJerusalema, beqamekele ukuba bambulale endleleni.

⁴Kodwa uFestusi waphendula wathi uPawuli ugcinwe eKesariya, lokuthi laye ngokwakhe usezasuka aye khona masinyane.

⁵Wathi-ke labo abanamandla phakathi kwenu mabehle nami, bambeke icala lo muntu, uma kukhona okubi kuyo.

⁶Esehlale nabo izinsuku ezingaphezu kweziyishumi, wehlela eKesariya; ngangomuso ehlezi esihlalweni sokwahlulela, wayala ukuba uPawulu alethwe.

⁷Esefikile, abaJuda abehla bevela eJerusalema bama bemhaqa, bamangalela uPawulu izimangalo eziningi ezimbi, abangenakuzifakazela.

⁸Eziphendulela wathi: “Nangomthetho wabaJuda, nethempeli, nakuKesari angonanga lutho.

⁹Kepha uFestu ethanda ukujabulisa abaJuda, wamphendula uPawulu, wathi: “Uyathanda ukukhuphukela eJerusalema, wahlulelwe khona ngalezi zinto phambi kwami na?

¹⁰UPawuli wasesithi: Ngimi esihlalweni sokwahlulela sikaKesari, lapho engifanele ukwahlulelwa khona;

¹¹Ngokuba uma ngingonile, noma ngenze utho olufanele ukufa, angifuni ukufa; ngidlulisela icala kuKesari.

¹²UFestusi esekhulume nomphakathi waphendula wathi: “Ulidlulisele kuKesari? kuKesari uzakuya.

¹³Kwathi emva kwezinsuku ezithile u-Agripha inkosi noBernike bafika eKesariya ukuyobingelela uFestu.

¹⁴Sebehlale khona izinsuku eziningi, uFestu wayilandisa inkosi indaba kaPawulu, wathi: “Kukhona indoda ethile eshiywe nguFeliksi iboshiwe;

¹⁵okwathi lapho ngiseJerusalema, abapristi abakhulu namalunga abaJuda bangibikela, befuna ukwahlulelwa.

¹⁶Engabaphendula ngathi: Kakusiwo umkhuba wamaRoma ukunikela umuntu ukuthi afe, omangalelweyo engakahlanganisi abammangalelayo, athole ithuba lokuziphendulela ngecala lakhe.

¹⁷Ngakho-ke sebefikile lapha, angilibalanga ngangomuso ngahlala esihlalweni sokwahlulela, ngayala ukuba le ndoda ilethwe.

¹⁸Kwathi sebesukuma abamangaleli, kabavezanga cala lalezo zinto engangizicabanga.

¹⁹Kepha babe nezimpikiswano ezithile naye ngenkolo yabo siqu, nangalowo uJesu owafayo, lowo uPawulu athi uyaphila.

²⁰Kwathi mina ngingabaza ngalemibuzo, ngambuza ukuthi angathanda yini ukuya eJerusalema, ahlulelwe khona ngalezizinto.

²¹Kepha uPawulu eselidlulisele icala lokuba agcinelwe icala lika-Awugustu, ngayala ukuba agcinwe, ngize ngimthumele kuKesari.

²²U-Agripha wayesethi kuFestu: “Nami ngiyathanda ukumuzwa lowo muntu; Wathi, kusasa nizamuzwa.

²³Ngangomuso u-Agripha esefikile noBernike ngokugabadela okukhulu, bangena endaweni yokulalela, nezinduna zenkulungwane nezinhloko zomuzi, ngomyalo kaFestu, uPawulu walethwa.

²⁴UFestu wathi: “Nkosi Agripha, nani nonke madoda enikhona lapha kanye nathi, niyayibona le ndoda lonke uquqaba lwabaJuda eyenze kimina ngaye, eJerusalema nalapha, imemeza ngokuthi akufanele aphile futhi.

²⁵Kodwa mina ngithole ukuthi akenzanga lutho olufanele ukufa, lokuthi yena ngokwakhe walidlulisela kuAwugusi, ngaquma ukumthuma.

²⁶Anginanto eqinisekileyo ngaye engingayilobela inkosi yami. Ngakho-ke ngimethulile phambi kwenu, futhi ikakhulukazi phambi kwakho, nkosi Agripha, ukuze kuthi ngemva kokuhlolwa ngibe nakho engingakuloba.

²⁷Ngokuba ngibona kungenangqondo ukuthumela isiboshwa, kungavezwa namacala aso.
