1Kwehla abathile bevela eJudiya, bafundisa abazalwane, bathi: “Uma ningasoki ngokwesiko likaMose, anikwazi ukusindiswa.
2Kwathi ukuphikisana nokuphikisana kukaPawulu noBarnaba okungekuncane nabo, banquma ukuba uPawulu noBarnaba, nabanye kubo, bakhuphukele kubaphostoli namalunga eJerusalema ngalowo mbuzo.
3Sebephelekezelwe libandla, badabula iFenike neSamariya, belandisa ukuphenduka kwabezizwe; baletha intokozo enkulu kubo bonke abazalwane.
4Sebefikile eJerusalema, bamukelwa libandla labaphostoli labadala, balandisa ngakho konke uNkulunkulu ayekwenzile labo.
5Kodwa kwasukuma abanye behlelo labaFarisi abakholwayo, besithi: Kumele ukubasoka, lokulaywa ukugcina umlayo kaMozisi.
6Base bebuthana abaphostoli namalunga ukuba bayihlole leyo ndaba.
7Kwathi sekunempikiswano enkulu, wasukuma uPetru, wathi kubo: “Madoda, bazalwane, niyazi nina ukuthi kusukela kudala uNkulunkulu wakhetha phakathi kwethu ukuba abezizwe bezwe izwi levangeli ngomlomo wami, bakhulume izwi levangeli kholwani.
8NoNkulunkulu owazi izinhliziyo wabafakazela, ebapha uMoya oNgcwele, njengalokho enzile nakithi;
9Akabekanga umehluko phakathi kwethu nabo, ehlambulula izinhliziyo zabo ngokholo.
10Manje nimlingelani uNkulunkulu ngokubeka ijoka entanyeni yabafundi, obaba nathi esingenamandla okulithwala na?
11Kepha siyakholwa ukuthi siyakusindiswa ngomusa weNkosi uJesu Kristu, njengalokho nabo.
12Isixuku sonke sathula, sabalalela oBarnaba noPawulu belandisa ukuthi yiziphi izimangaliso nezimangaliso uNkulunkulu ayezenze ngabo kwabezizwe.
13Sebethulile, uJakobe waphendula wathi: Madoda, bazalwane, ngizweni.
14USimeyoni usilandisile ukuthi uNkulunkulu wabahambela kanjani abezizwe ekuqaleni ukuze athathe kubo abantu begama lakhe.
15Nalokho amazwi abaprofethi ayavumelana nalokhu; njengoba kulotshiwe,
16Emva kwalokho ngiyakubuya, ngibuye ngilakhe itabernakele likaDavide eliwileyo; ngiyakubuye ngiwakhe amanxiwa awo, ngiwumise;
17Ukuze insali yabantu ifune iNkosi, nabezizwe bonke ababizwa ngegama lami, isho iNkosi eyenza zonke lezi zinto.
18Iyaziwa nguNkulunkulu yonke imisebenzi yakhe kwasekuqaleni kwezwe.
19Ngakho-ke mina ngithi singabakhathazi labo kwabezizwe abaphendukela kuNkulunkulu;
20kodwa sibabhalele ukuthi bayeke amanyala ezithombe, lobufebe, lokukhanyiweyo, legazi.
21Ngokuba uMose kwasendulo unabamshumayelayo emizini yonke, efundwa emasinagogeni isabatha ngamasabatha.
22Kwaba kuhle-ke kubaphostoli namalunga kanye nebandla lonke ukuthumela amadoda athile phakathi kwabo e-Antiyokiya kanye noPawulu noBarnaba; okungukuthi uJuda othiwa uBarsaba, noSila, izinduna phakathi kwabazalwane;
23Basebebhala izincwadi ngabo ngalendlela; Abaphostoli namalunga nabazalwane bayakhonza kubazalwane abavela kwabezizwe e-Antiyokiya, naseSiriya, naseKhilikhiya;
24Njengoba sizwile ukuthi abathile abaphuma kithi banikhathaze ngamazwi, bedukisa imiphefumulo yenu, besithi: Kumele lisokwe, ligcine umlayo, esingabanikanga umlayo onjalo.
25Kwaba kuhle kithi sibuthene nganhliziyonye, ukuthuma kini amadoda akhethiweyo kanye labathandekayo bethu uBarnabasi loPawuli;
26abantu abadele ukuphila kwabo ngenxa yegama leNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu.
27Ngakho sithumile oJudasi loSila, abazakhuluma kini lezizinto ngomlomo.
28Ngokuba kwaba kuhle kuMoya oNgcwele nakithi ukuba ningathwesi umthwalo omkhulu ngaphandle kwalezizinto ezifunekayo;
29ukuba nizile okuhlatshelwe izithombe, negazi, nokuqumbeleneyo, nobufebe; uma nizilinda kukho, nenza kahle. Nisale kahle.
30Sebemukisiwe, beza e-Antiyokiya;
31Kwathi sebefundile bathokoza ngenduduzo.
32OJudasi noSila, bengabaprofethi nabo, bakhuthaza abazalwane ngamazwi amaningi, babaqinisa.
33Sebehlale khona isikhathi, bakhululwa abazalwane ngokuthula, baya kubaphostoli.
34Nokho kwaba kuhle kuSila ukuba asale khona.
35OPawulu noBarnaba bahlala e-Antiyokiya befundisa, beshumayela izwi leNkosi, kanye nabanye abaningi.
36Kwathi emva kwezinsuku ezithile uPawulu wathi kuBarnabasi: “Asibuye sihambele abazalwane bethu emizini yonke esishumayele kuyo izwi leNkosi, sibone ukuthi banjani.
37UBarnabasi wazimisela ukuhamba noJohane othiwa uMarku.
38Kepha uPawulu akabonanga kukuhle ukumthatha, ahambe nabo, yena owabashiya ePhamfiliya, akaya nabo emsebenzini.
39Kwaba khona ukuphikisana okukhulu, baze bahlukana, uBarnabasi wamthatha uMarku, waya eKhupro ngomkhumbi;
40UPawuli wakhetha uSila, wamuka enikelwe ngabazalwane emseni kaNkulunkulu.
41Wadabula iSiriya neKhilikhiya eqinisa amabandla.
