Ukuziphendulela kukaStefane

1Umpristi omkhulu wasesithi: Lembala lokhu kunjalo na?

2UStefane wathi: Bobaba labazalwane, lalelani. UNkulunkulu wenkazimulo wabonakala kubaba uAbrahama eseMesopotamiya, engakakhi eHarani,

9Okhokho babelomona ngoJosefa, bamthengisa eGibithe; kodwa uNkulunkulu wayelaye,

17Kwathi sesisondele isikhathi sesithembiso uNkulunkulu ayesenze kuAbrahama, banda abantu, baba banengi eGibithe,

30Kwathi sekudlule iminyaka engamatshumi amane, kwabonakala kuye enkangala yasentabeni iSinayi isithunywa phakathi kwelangabi lomlilo esihlahleni.

43Atshi, lathatha ithente likaMoloki lenkanyezi kankulunkulu wenu uRefani,

imifanekiso elayenza ukuba likhuleke kuyo.

Ngizakulithuthela ngaphambili kweBabiloni.

44Okhokho babelalo ithente lobufakazi enkangala njengokulayela kwalowo owakhuluma kuMose ukuba alenze ngomfanekiso ayewubonile;

50Isandla sami kasizenzanga zonke lezizinto na?

51Lina abanhliziyo ezilukhuni, abangasokanga enhliziyweni lasendlebeni, limelana njalo loMoya oNgcwele; njengabokhokho benu linjalo lani.Isa 63:10

52Nguwuphi owabaprofethi okhokho benu abangamzingelanga na? Bababulala labo abamemezela ngaphambili ukuza koLungileyo, eselimnikele lambulala,

53lina elamukela umlayo ngokulaya kwezithunywa, kodwa kaliwulondolozanga.

Ukufa kukaStefane

54Bathi sebezwile lezizinto, bahlabeka enhliziyweni, bamgedlela amazinyo.

55Kodwa yena egcwele uMoya oNgcwele wajolozela ezulwini, wabona inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu, loJesu emi ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu,

56wathi: Khangelani, ngibona izulu livulekile, leNdodana yomuntu imi ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu.

57Kodwa bamemeza ngelizwi elikhulu, bavala indlebe zabo, bonke batheleka phezu kwakhe,

58basebemkhuphela ngaphandle komuzi, bamkhanda ngamatshe. Ofakazi babeka ingubo zabo ngasenyaweni zensizwa ethiwa nguSawuli.

59Bamkhanda ngamatshe uStefane ekhuleka esithi: Nkosi Jesu, yamukela umoya wami.

60Waseguqa phansi, wamemeza ngelizwi elikhulu, esithi: Nkosi, ungababaleli lesisono. Esetshilo lokhu wafa.

USawuli wayevumelene labo ngokubulawa kwakhe.
