Ukuphiliswa kwengqiba elisisiqhwala
1Ke kaloku, uPetros, noYohane babenyuka bendawonye, besiya etempileni ngexesha lomthandazo, ililixa lesithoba. 2Kwaye ke kuthwelwe ndoda ithile, ibisisiqhwala kwasekuzalweni kwayo, ababeyibeka imihla ngemihla emnyango wetempile, lowo kuthiwa Mhle, ukuba icele amalizo kwabangénayo etempileni; 3eyathi, yakubona uPetros noYohane beza kungena etempileni, yacela ukuba bayilize.
4Uthe ke uPetros, enoYohane, eqwalasele kuyo wathi, Khangela kuthi apha. 5Yabagqala ke, ilinde ukwamkela into kubo. 6Wathi ke uPetros, Isilivere negolide andinayo, kodwa endinako ndikunika khona: egameni likaYesu Kristu umNazarete, vuka uhambe. 7Wayibamba ngesandla sokunene, wayivusa; zomelezeka ke kwalapho iinyawo zayo namaqatha ayo. 8Yesuka umtsi, yema, yahambahamba, yangena nabo etempileni, ihambahamba itsiba, imdumisa uThixo. 9Baza bonke abantu bayibona ihambahamba, idumisa uThixo; 10bayazi nokuyazi, ukuba ingulowa ubehlalela amalizo eMnyango oMhle wetempile, bathi qhiphu umbilini, bathi nqa yiloo nto ihlileyo kuyo.
11Ke kaloku, sakubon' ukuba isiqhwala esiphilisiweyo sibabambe ngesandla ooPetros noYohane, bonke abantu babalekela kubo evarandeni• ekuthiwa yekaSolomon, beqhiphuke umbilini kakubi.
Intetho kaPetros etempileni
12Akukubona ke oko uPetros, waphendula wathi kubo abantu, Madoda, maSirayeli, yini na ukuba nimangaliswe yile nto? Kanjalo yini na ukuba nisijonge, ngathi simenzé wahamba ngawethu amandla, nangokwethu ukuhlonela uThixo?
13UThixo wooAbraham noIsake noYakobi, uThixo woobawo bethu, umzukisile umkhonzi wakhe uYesu, enamnikelayo, namkhanyela ebusweni bukaPilato nina, akubon' ukuba yena ugwebe ngelithi, makakhululwe. 14Ke nina namkhanyela oyiNgcwele, oliLungisa, nacela ukuba ninikwe indoda engumbulali. 15Ke yona iMbangi yobomi nayibulala; awayivusayo uThixo kwabafileyo, esingamangqina ako oko thina. 16Nangenxa yokukholwa kwigama layo, lo nimbonayo, nimaziyo, limomelezile igama layo; lwathi ukholo olungayo lwamnika oku kuphila kupheleleyo phambi kwenu nonke.
17Nangoku, bazalwana, ndiyazi ukuba nenzé ngokungazi, njengabo nabo abaphathi benu. 18Ke uThixo, izinto awazixela ngenxa engaphambili ngomlomo wabo bonke abaprofeti bakhe, zokuba uKristu eve ubunzima, uzizalisile wenjenje. 19Guqukani ke ngoko, nibuye, ukuze zicinywe izono zenu; ngokokuze afike amathuba okuphumza, evela ebusweni beNkosi; 20ithùme uYesu Kristu, owayevakalisiwe kuni ngenxa engaphambili; 21lowo kumele okunene ukuba amazulu amamkele, kude kufike amaxesha okubuyiswa kweento zonke, awawathethayo uThixo ngomlomo wabo bonke abaprofeti bakhe abangcwele, kususela kunaphakade.
22Kuba uMoses okunene wathi koobawo, INkosi uThixo wenu iya kunivelisela umprofeti kubazalwana benu, onjengam nje; ze nimve yena kuzo zonke izinto asukuba eya kuzithetha kuni. 23Yothi ke yonke imiphefumlo engathanga imve loo mprofeti, ibhujiswe kuphele phakathi kwabantu. 24Nabo ke bonke abaprofeti, bethabathela kuSamuweli nakwabalandelayo, bonke abathethileyo, bayixela loo mihla ngenxa engaphambili.
25Nina ningoonyana babo abaprofeti, nabomnqophiso awanqophisana ngawo noobawo bethu uThixo, esithi kuAbraham, Yaye ke iya kusikeleleka embewini yakho yonke imizalwane yehlabathi. 26Uthe uThixo, akuba emvusile umkhonzi wakhe uYesu, wamthuma kuni kuqala, ukuba anisikelele ngokuniguqula nonke ngabanye kwiinkohlakalo zenu.
