IzEnzo 26

¹U-Agripha wayesethi kuPawulu: “Uvunyelwe ukuzikhulumela. UPawuli waseselula isandla, waziphendulela;

²Kuyangithokozisa, nkosi Agripha, ngoba lamuhla ngizaziphendulela phambi kwakho ngakho konke engimangalelwa ngakho ngabaJuda;

³ikakhulu ngoba ngikwazi ukuthi unolwazi kuwo wonke amasiko lezingxabano zabaJuda; ngakho ngiyakuncenga ukuthi ungizwe ngesineke.

⁴Indlela yami yokuphila kwasebusheni bami ekuqaleni eyayiphakathi kwesizwe sakithi eJerusalema ayazi bonke abaJuda;

⁵ababengazi kwasekuqaleni, uma befuna ukufakaza, ukuthi ngokwehlelo eliqine kakhulu lenkonzo yethu ngahamba ngingumFarisi.

⁶Kalokhu ngimi futhi ngigwetshiwe ngenxa yethemba lesithembiso uNkulunkulu asinika okhokho bethu.

⁷Ezithemba ukufika kuso izizwe eziyishumi nambili zakithi, zikhonza uNkulunkulu masinyane imini nobusuku; Ngenxa yalelithemba, nkosi Agripha, ngimangalelwa ngabaJuda.

⁸Kungani kucatshangwa ukuthi yinto engakholeki kini, ukuthi uNkulunkulu uvusa abafileyo na?

⁹Mina-ke ngangicabanga ngokwami ukuthi ngifanele ukwenza izinto ezinengi eziphambene lebizo likaJesu waseNazaretha.

¹⁰Lokho nami ngakwenza eJerusalema; abaningi kwabangcwele ngabavalela etilongweni, ngithole amandla kubapristi abakhulu; futhi lapho bebulawa, ngazwakalisa izwi lami ngokumelene nabo.

¹¹Nasemasinagogeni onke ngabajezisa kaningi, ngibacindezela ukuba bahlambalaze; futhi njengoba ngibathukuthelele kakhulu, ngabazingela kwaze kwaba semizini yabezizwe.

¹²Okwathi lapho ngiya eDamaseku nginegunya nokuthunywa kubapristi abakhulu,

¹³Emini enkulu, nkosi, ngisendleleni ngabona ukukhanya okuvela ezulwini okungaphezu kokukhanya kwelanga, kungikhanyisa nxazonke zami nababehamba nami.

¹⁴Kuthe sesiwile phansi sonke emhlabathini, ngezwa izwi likhuluma kimi ngolimi lwesiHeberu, lithi: ‘Sawulu, Sawulu, ungizingelelani na? kulukhuni kuwe ukukhahlela izinkandi.

¹⁵Ngasengisithi: Ungubani, Nkosi? Wasesithi: Mina nginguJesu omzingelayo.

¹⁶Kepha sukuma, ume ngezinyawo zakho, ngokuba ngibonakale kuwe ngalokho ukuba ngikwenze ube yisikhonzi nofakazi walezi zinto ozibonileyo nowalezo zinto engizakuzibonakalisa kuwe ngazo;

¹⁷ngikukhulula kubantu nakwabezizwe, engikuthuma kubo manje.

¹⁸Ukuze uvule amehlo abo, basuke ebumnyameni, baye ekukhanyeni, basuke emandleni kaSathane, baye kuNkulunkulu, ukuze bamukele ukuthethelelwa kwezono, nefa phakathi kwabangcwelisiweyo ngokukholwa kimi.

¹⁹Ngakho-ke, nkosi Agripha, angibanga ngongalaleliyo umbono wasezulwini;

²⁰kodwa ngabika kuqala kwabaseDamaseku, naseJerusalema, nakuzo zonke izindawo zaseJudiya, nakwabezizwe, ukuba baphenduke, baphendukele kuNkulunkulu, benze imisebenzi efanele ukuphenduka.

²¹Ngenxa yalokhu abaJuda bangibamba ethempelini, bafuna ukungibulala.

²²Ngakho-ke sengizuze usizo lukaNkulunkulu, ngimi kuze kube yilolu suku, ngifakaza kwabancane nabakhulu, ngingakhulumi okunye ngaphandle kwalokho abakushilo abaprofethi noMose ukuthi kuyakwenzeka;

²³ukuze uKristu ahlupheke, abe ngowokuqala ukuvuka kwabafileyo, amemezele ukukhanya kubantu nakwabezizwe.

²⁴Esazikhulumela lokho, uFestu wathi ngezwi elikhulu: “Uyahlanya, Pawulu; ukufunda okuningi kuyakuhlanyisa.

²⁵Kodwa wathi: Kangihlanyi, Festu odumileyo; kodwa ngikhulume amazwi eqiniso nawokuhluzeka kwengqondo.

²⁶Ngokuba inkosi iyazi ngalezizinto, engikhuluma kuyo ngokukhululeka; ngoba le nto ayenziwanga engosini.

²⁷Nkosi Agripha, uyakholwa ngabaprofethi na? Ngiyazi ukuthi uyakholwa.

²⁸UAgripha wasesithi kuPawuli: Cishe usufuna ukungenza ngibe ngumKristu.

²⁹UPawuli wasesithi: Ngithanda kuNkulunkulu ukuthi, kungabi nguwe wedwa, kodwa labo bonke abangizwayo lamuhla, kokubili ngokuseduze, nangokuphelele, babe njengami, ngaphandle kwalezizibopho.

³⁰Eseshilo lokho, yasukuma inkosi, nombusi, noBernike, nababehlezi nabo;

³¹Sebesukile bakhuluma bodwa, bathi: “Lo akenzi lutho olufanele ukufa nokuboshwa.

³²U-Agripha wayesethi kuFestu: “Lo ngabe ukhululiwe, uba ubengalidluliselanga kuKesari.
