Uhambo lokuqala lukaPawuli. Ukuthunywa kukaPawuli loBarnabasi

1Kwakukhona ebandleni laseAntiyoki abaprofethi labafundisi, oBarnabasi, loSimiyoni othiwa nguNigeri, loLukiyu waseKurene, loManayeni owayondliwe kanye loHerodi umbusi, loSawuli.

2Kwathi bekhonza iNkosi, bezila ukudla, uMoya oNgcwele wathi: Ngahlukaniselani oBarnabasi loSawuli ukuba baye emsebenzini engibabizele wona.

3Sebezile ukudla bakhuleka, babeka izandla zabo phezu kwabo, babathuma.

UPawuli utshumayela eKuprosi

4Bonake sebethunyiwe nguMoya oNgcwele behlela eSelukiya; basuka lapho, baya eKuprosi ngomkolo.

5Sebefikile eSalamisi batshumayela ilizwi likaNkulunkulu emasinagogeni abaJuda; babeloJohane engumsizi wabo.

6Kwathi sebedabule isihlenge sonke, bafika ePafosi, bafumana indoda ethile eyisanuse lomprofethi wamanga, umJuda othiwa nguBarjesu,

7wayelombusi uSegiyu Pawuli, indoda ehlakaniphileyo. Yena wabiza uBarnabasi loSawuli efuna ukuzwa ilizwi likaNkulunkulu.

8Lesisanuse, uEluma, ngoba litsho njalo ibizo lakhe, waphikisana labo efisa ukuphambukisa umbusi ekukholweni.

9Kodwa uSawuli othiwa nguPawuli, egcwele uMoya oNgcwele, wamjolozela

10wathi: Wena ndodana kaSathane, uyisitha sakho konke ukulunga, ugcwele inkohliso yonke lobubi bonke, kawuyekeli ukuphambukisa indlela eziqondileyo zeNkosi na?

11Khangela, isandla seNkosi siphezu kwakho; uzakuba yisiphofu okwesikhathi ungaliboni ilanga. Kwasekumfikela masinyane ukufiphala lomnyama, wahamba edinga abazamdonsa ngesandla.

12Kwang’khona umbusi esebonile okwenziweyo wakholwa, emangaliswa yimfundiso yeNkosi.

UPawuli utshumayela eAntiyoki lasePisidiya

13UPawuli lababelaye basuka ePafosi ngomkolo, bafika ePerga elasePamfiliya; kodwa uJohane wehlukana labo, wabuyela eJerusalema.

14Bona basuka ePerga baya eAntiyoki elasePisidiya; ngeSabatha bangena esinagogeni, bahlala phansi.

15Sekufundiwe umlayo labaprofethi, abaphathi besinagoge bathumela kubo besithi: Bazalwane, uba lilelizwi lokulaya abantu, khulumani.

16Ngakho uPawuli wasukuma, eqhweba ngesandla sakhe, wathi: Madoda akoIsrayeli, lani elesaba uNkulunkulu, lalelani.

17UNkulunkulu walesisizwe sakoIsrayeli wakhetha okhokho, wabaphakamisa abantu bengabafokazana nje elizweni laseGibithe; wabakhupha kulo ngamandla amakhulu.

26Bazalwane, madodana ohlanga lukaAbrahama, lalabo phakathi kwenu abesaba uNkulunkulu, lithunyelwe kithi ilizwi lokusiliswa.

27Ngoba labo abahlala eJerusalema lababusi babo kabamazanga yena, futhi kabaqedisisanga amazwi abaprofethi afundwayo amaSabatha wonke, kanti bawagcwalisa ngokumlahla;

28lanxa bengafumananga icala lokufa kuye kodwa bacela kuPilatu ukuba abulawe.

34Mayelana lokumvusa kwakhe kwabafileyo lokuba engasayikubuyela ekuboleni wakhuluma ngokunje, wathi:

Ngizakukunika izithembiso ezingcwele lezithembekileyo zikaDavida.

35Njalo kwelinye ihubo uthi:

Kawuyikuvuma ukuba ongcwele wakho abone ukubola.

36Ngoba uDavida eselenzile icebo likaNkulunkulu esizukulwaneni sakhe, wafa, waya kwabaphansi, wabona ukubola.

37Kodwa lowo uNkulunkulu amvusayo kakubonanga ukubola.

38Ngakhoke yazini, bazalwane, ukuthi ngalowo kutshunyayelwa kini ukuthethelelwa kwezono;

39ngaye ilowo lalowo okholwayo uzalungisiswa kukho konke abengelungisiswe kukho ngomlayo kaMose.

40Ngakho qaphelani, funa lehlelwe yilokhu okwakhulunywa ngabaprofethi okokuthi:

41Khangelani lina zideleli, limangale, libhubhe,

ngoba mina ngenza imisebenzi ensukwini zenu,

imisebenzi elingayikuyikholwa,

lanxa umuntu elilandisela ngayo.Ilizwi lamukelwa ngabezizwe liphikwa ngabaJuda

42Ekuphumeni kwabo esinagogeni abantu bacela ukuba lawomazwi akhulunywe futhi ngeSabatha elilandelayo.

43Kwathi inkonzo yesinagoge isiphumile, abaJuda abanengi labezizwe abakholwayo balandela uPawuli loBarnabasi; bona bakhuluma labo, bebakhuthaza ukuba babambelele emuseni kaNkulunkulu.

44NgeSabatha elilandelayo babuthana, kwaphose kwaba ngumuzi wonke ukuzwa ilizwi likaNkulunkulu.

45Kodwa abaJuda bebona ixuku bagcwala umona, baphikisa lokho okwakhulunywa nguPawuli bemhlambaza.

46Kwang’khona uPawuli loBarnabasi bekhuluma ngesibindi besithi: Kwakudingeka ukuthi ilizwi likaNkulunkulu litshunyayelwe kini kuqala; kodwa njengoba lilala, lizenza libe ngabangafanele ukuphila okungapheliyo, khangelani, sesisiya kwabezizwe.

47Ngoba iNkosi isilayile yathi:

Ngikumisile ube yikukhanya kwabezizwe,

ube yikusiliswa kuze kube semikhawulweni yomhlaba.

48Kwathi abezizwe bekuzwa lokho, bathokoza, balidumisa ilizwi likaNkulunkulu; bakholwa bonke ababemiselwe ukuphila okungapheliyo.

49Ngokunjalo ilizwi leNkosi landa kulo ilizwe lonke.

50Kodwa abaJuda bavusa abesifazana abalesithunzi abakholwayo lezikhulu zomuzi, bavusela uPawuli loBarnabasi ukuzingelwa, babaxotsha endaweni yabo.

51Bona babathintithela uthuli lwenyawo zabo, badlulela eIkoniyuma.Mat 10:14; Mark 6:11; Luka 9:5; 10:11

52Abafundi bagcwala intokozo loMoya oNgcwele.
