Seb 26 - Ndebele Bible (iBhayibhili Elingcwele) 1978

UPawuli uziphendulela phambi kukaFestusi loAgripha(9:1–19; 22:6–16; 26:12–18)

1UAgripha wasesithi kuPawuli: Uvunyelwe ukuziphendulela. UPawuli waseselula isandla sakhe, waziphendulela esithi:

2Ngizibona ngilenhlanhla yokuthi kuphambi kwakho, nkosi Agripha, lapho engizakuziphendulela khona lamuhla kukho konke engimangalelwa ngakho ngabaJuda,

3ikakhulu ngoba uyawazi wonke amasiko lokuphikisana kwabaJuda; ngakho ngiyakuncenga ukuba ungilalele ngesineke.

4Ukuhamba kwami konke kusukela ebutsheni bami, kuqala esizweni sakithi laseJerusalema kuyaziwa yibo bonke abaJuda;

5bayangazi kusukela ekuqaleni, uba bethanda ukufakaza ukuthi ngangihamba ngokwehlelo eliqinileyo lenkolo yakithi ngingumFarisi.

24Kwathi esaziphendulela ngokunjalo, uFestusi wathi ngelizwi elikhulu: Pawuli, uyahlanya, ukufunda okunengi kuyakuhlanyisa.

25Kodwa uPawuli wathi: Kangihlanyi, mhlekazi Festusi, kodwa ngikhuluma amazwi aliqiniso eliqondileyo.

26Inkosi iyazi ngalezizinto, ngakho ngikhuluma layo ngesibindi; ngoba ngikholwa ukuthi kalukho lalunye lwalezizinto olufihlakeleyo kuyo; ngoba lokhu kakwenziwanga engosini.

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

28UAgripha wathi kuPawuli: Uthi ngokufitshane nje usuzangenza ngibe ngumKristu.

29UPawuli wasesithi: Bengingafisa kuNkulunkulu ukuba, loba ngokufitshane loba ngokude, kungabi nguwe wedwa kodwa bonke abangizwayo lamuhla babe njengami, ngaphandle kwalezizibopho.

30Yasisukuma inkosi lombusi loBernike kanye lalabo ababehlezi labo;

31kwathi sebephumile, bakhulumisana besithi: Lumuntu kenzi lutho olufanele ukufa kumbe ukubotshwa.

32UAgripha wathi kuFestusi: Lumuntu ubengakhululwa uba ebengalidluliselanga kuKesari.
