1Kodwa indoda ethile uAnaniya ngebizo, inoSafira umkayo, yathengisa ngendawo.
2Wagodla inxenye yentengo, nomkakhe ekwazi naye, waletha enye, wayibeka ngasezinyaweni zabaphostoli.
3Kodwa uPetro wathi: Ananiya, kungani uSathane egcwalise inhliziyo yakho ukuze uqambe amanga kuMoya oNgcwele, njalo ugodle inxenye yentengo yensimu?
4Isekhona ibingesiyo eyakho na? Selithengisiwe belingekho emandleni akho na? Ufakeni le nto enhliziyweni yakho na? awuqambanga amanga kubantu, kepha kuNkulunkulu.
5U-Ananiya esizwa lawa mazwi wawa phansi, wafa; ukwesaba okukhulu kwehlela bonke abezwa lokho.
6Zase zisukuma izinsizwa, zambopha, zamkhiphela phandle, zammbela.
7Kwathi ngemva kwamahora amathathu, umkakhe wangena, engakwazi okwenzekileyo.
8UPetru waphendula wathi kuye: “Ngitshele, uma insimu nathengisa kangaka na? Wathi: Yebo, okungaka.
9UPetru wayesethi kuye: “Kungani ukuba nivumelane ukulinga uMoya weNkosi na? bheka, izinyawo zabambele indoda yakho zisemnyango, nawe bayakukukhiphela phandle.
10Wayesewa phansi masinyane ngasezinyaweni zakhe, waphela; zangena izinsizwa, zamfumana efile, zamkhiphela phandle, zammbela eduze kwendoda yakhe.
11Ukwesaba okukhulu kwehlela phezu kwebandla lonke nakubo bonke abazizwayo lezizinto.
12Ngezandla zabaphostoli kwenziwa izibonakaliso nezimangaliso eziningi phakathi kwabantu; bonke babe nganhliziyonye ekhulusini likaSolomoni.
13Kwabanye kakho owaba lesibindi sokuzihlanganisa labo, kodwa abantu babebakhulisa.
14Abakholwayo baqhubeka benezelwa eNkosini, izixuku zabesilisa nabesifazane.
15baze bakhiphela phandle abagulayo emigwaqweni, bababeka emibhedeni nasezinhlakeni, ukuze kuthi lapho uPetru edlula, sisibekele abanye kubo isithunzi.
16Kwabuthana futhi isixuku esivela emadolobheni azungeze iJerusalema, bethwele abagulayo nabakhathazwa imimoya engcolile, baphulukiswa bonke.
17Kwasekusukuma umpristi omkhulu labo bonke ababelaye, abangabehlelo labaSadusi, bagcwala ukuthukuthela;
18bababeka izandla abaphostoli, babafaka etilongweni labantu bonke.
19Kepha ingelosi yeNkosi ebusuku yavula iminyango yetilongo, yabakhipha, yathi:
20Hambani, nime nikhulume ethempelini kubantu amazwi onke alokhu kuphila.
21Sebezwile bangena ethempelini ekuseni kakhulu, bafundisa. Kepha kwafika umpristi omkhulu nababe naye, babizela ndawonye umkhandlu nawo onke amadoda amakhulu abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, bathumela etilongweni ukuba balethwe.
22Kodwa sezifikile izikhonzi, zingabaficanga entolongweni, zabuya zabika.
23esithi: Intolongo siyifice ivaliwe ngokulondeka konke, nabalindi bemi ngaphandle phambi kweminyango;
24Kwathi umpristi omkhulu, nenduna yethempeli, nabapristi abakhulu bezwile lokho, bamangala ngabo ukuthi lokhu kuzokwenzakalani.
25Kwase kufika omunye wababikela, wathi: “Bhekani, amadoda ebeniwafakile etilongweni emi ethempelini, efundisa abantu.
26Khona yahamba induna nezikhonzi, zabaletha kungengamandla, ngokuba besesaba abantu, funa bakhandwe ngamatshe.
27Sebebalethile babamisa phambi komphakathi; umpristi omkhulu wababuza.
28Ethi: “Asiniyalanga yini ukuthi ningafundisi ngaleli gama na? bhekani, senigcwalise iJerusalema ngesifundiso senu, nihlose ukwehlisela igazi lalumuntu phezu kwethu.
29UPetru nabanye abaphostoli baphendula bathi: “Simelwe ukulalela uNkulunkulu kunabantu.
30UNkulunkulu wawokhokho bethu wamvusa uJesu enambulala nina ngokumphanyeka esihlahleni.
31yena uNkulunkulu wamphakamisa ngesandla sakhe sokunene abe nguMbusi noMsindisi, ukuze anike u-Israyeli ukuphenduka nokuthethelelwa kwezono.
32Thina singabafakazi bakhe balezizinto; kanjalo noMoya oNgcwele, uNkulunkulu amnike abamlalelayo.
33Sebezwile bahlabeka enhliziyweni, benza icebo lokubabulala.
34Kwasekusukuma omunye emphakathini, umFarisi ogama lakhe linguGamaliyeli, umfundisi womthetho otusekayo kubantu bonke, wayala ukuba abaphostoli bakhishwe isikhashana;
35Wathi kubo: “Madoda akwa-Israyeli, ziqapheleni eniyakukwenza kulaba bantu.
36Ngokuba ngaphambi kwalezi zinsuku kwasuka uThewuda, ezishaya utho; okwazihlanganisa naye isibalo sabantu kungathi abangamakhulu amane; bonke abamlalelayo bahlakazeka, baba yize.
37Emva kwalowo kwasuka uJuda waseGalile ngezinsuku zokubhaliswa, wadonsa abantu abaningi ukuba bamlandele; nabo bonke abamlalelayo bahlakazeka.
38Manje ngithi kini: Dedani kulaba bantu, nibayeke, ngokuba uma leli cebo nalo msebenzi ungowabantu, uyachitheka;
39Kepha uma kuvela kuNkulunkulu, anikwazi ukukuchitha; funa nifunyanwe ningabalwa noNkulunkulu.
40Basebemvumela; sebebabiza abaphostoli, babatshaya, babalaya ukuthi bangakhulumi ngebizo likaJesu, babakhulula.
41Base bemuka ebusweni bomphakathi bethokoza, ngokuba kwakuthiwe bafanele ukudunyazwa ngenxa yegama lakhe.
42Nsuku zonke ethempelini nasendlini ngendlu kabazange bayeke ukufundisa lokushumayela ngoJesu Kristu.
