UHananiya noSafira
1Ke kaloku indoda ethile, uHananiya ngegama, inoSafira umkayo, yathengisa ngemfuyo yayo. 2Yashinta kulo ixabiso layo, esazi naye umkayo; yazisa nxenye ithile, yayibeka ezinyaweni zabapostile.• 3Wathi ke uPetros, Hananiya, kungani na ukuba uSathana azalise intliziyo yakho, ukuba umxokise uMoya oyiNgcwele, ushinte kulo ixabiso lomhlaba? 4Oko úbe uhleli, ubungahleli kuwe na? Kanjalo úthengisiwe, ubungekhona na egunyeni lakho? Yini na ukuba uyibeke le nto entliziyweni yakho? Akuxoké kubantu, uxoke kuThixo.
5Ewavile ke uHananiya la mazwi, wawa, waphuma umphefumlo; kwabakho ukoyika okukhulu kubo bonke ababezivile ezi zinto. 6Asuka ke amadodana amsonga, amthwalela phandle, amngcwaba.
7Kwaba mzuzwana ke, ngathi ngowamaxa amathathu, wathi umkakhe, engayazi loo nto ihlileyo, wangena. 8Umphendule ke uPetros wathi, Ndixelele, umhlaba lo wakhutshelwa inani elingáka na? Wathi ke yena, Ewe, elingako. 9Uthe ke uPetros kuye, Yini na ukuba nivumelane ngokumlinga uMoya weNkosi? Uyabona, iinyawo zabo bangcwabe indoda yakho sezisemnyango; baya kukuthwalela phandle. 10Wawa ke kwalapho ezinyaweni zakhe, waphuma umphefumlo; bangena ke abafana, bamfumana efile, bamthwalela phandle, bamngcwabela ngasendodeni yakhe. 11Kwabakho ukoyika kulo lonke ibandla, nakubo bonke abazivayo ezi zinto.
Imiqondiso nezimanga ezenziwa ngabapostile
12Ke kaloku, ngazo izandla zabapostile kwabakho imiqondiso nezimanga ezininzi phakathi kwabantu; baye bonke bemxhelo mnye evarandeni• kaSolomon. 13Ke kaloku, kwabanye akubangakho namnye waba nabuganga bakusinamathelisa kubo; baye abantu bebenzé bakhulu. 14Kwaba kukhona bekongezwayo abakholwayo kwiNkosi, into eninzi yamadoda neyabafazi; 15bada bayithwalela phandle imilwelwe ezitratweni, bayibeka ezingqengqelweni nasezinkukweni, ukuze kuthi, akubon' ukuba uPetros uyeza, kubekho kuyo ethi isityekelwe sisithunzi sakhe. 16Yaye ke ibuthelana eYerusalem nenkitha yabemizi ejikelezileyo, ithwele imilwelwe nabakhathazwa ngoomoya abangcolileyo, ababesithi bona baphiliswe bonke.
UPetros noYohane kwakhona phambi kwentlanganiso yamatyala
17Ke kaloku wesuka umbingeleli omkhulu, nabo bonke ababenaye (abangabehlelo labaSadusi), bazala ngumsindo; 18babesa izandla abapostile, babafaka entolongweni yabantu bonke. 19Ke kaloku isithunywa seNkosi sazivula iingcango zentolongo ebusuku, sabakhupha, sathi, 20Hambani, niye kuma nithethe etempileni kubo abantu onke amazwi obu bomi. 21Bevile ke, bangena kwangesifingo etempileni, bafundisa.
Wafika ke umbingeleli omkhulu nabo babenaye, wayibizela ndawonye intlanganiso yamatyala, nawo onke amadoda amakhulu akoonyana bakaSirayeli; bathumela endlwini yamakhonkxwa ukuba beziswe. 22Ke kaloku, akufika amadindala, akabafumananga entolongweni; abuya ke abika, esithi, 23Indlu yamakhonkxwa siyifumene okunene ivalwe ngokuqinileyo kanye, nabalindi bemi ngaphandle phambi kweminyango. Sívulile ke, asifumananga mntu ngaphakathi.
24Bathe ke bakuweva la mazwi umbingeleli kwanomphathi wetempile, nababingeleli abakhulu, labakhohla, bathi, 25Azi, ingaba yintoni na le nto? Wafika ke othile, wababikela esithi, Yabonani, amadoda lawa beniwafake entolongweni, nangaya etempileni, emi efundisa abantu. 26Wesuka umphathi enamadindala, wabazìsa kungengamandla; kuba babesoyika abantu, hleze baxulutywe ngamatye.
27Bebazisile ke, babamisa entlanganisweni yamatyala; wababuza umbingeleli omkhulu, esithi, 28Besinganithethelanga na kunene ngelithi, maningafundisi ngeli gama? Niyabona, niyizalisile iYerusalem ngemfundiso yenu; nifuna ukulizisa phezu kwethu igazi lalo mntu.
29Waphendula ke uPetros nabapostile, bathi, Simelwe kukuthi sive uThixo kunokuba sive abantu. 30UThixo woobawo bethu wamvusa uYesu, enambulalayo nina ngokumxhoma emthini. 31Yena lowo uThixo wamphakamisa ngesandla sakhe sokunene, wanguMthetheli noMsindisi, ukuze amnike uSirayeli inguquko noxolelo lwezono. 32Saye singamangqina akhe ezo ndawo thina, kwanoMoya oyiNgcwele, awamnika abo bamvayo yena uThixo.
33Bathe ke bona bakukuva oko, bahlabeka entliziyweni, babhunga ukuba babasike.
34Ke kaloku kwesuka kwema othile entlanganisweni yamatyala, umFarisi ogama linguGamaliyeli, umfundisi womthetho, obekekileyo kubantu bonke, wathi makhe bakhutshelwe phandle kancinane abapostile; wathi kubo, 35Madoda, maSirayeli, zilumkeleni ngento eniza kuyenza kwaba bantu. 36Kuba ngaphambi kwale mihla, kwesuka uTuda, esithi yena ngokwakhe unguthile; ekwanamathela kuye inani lamadoda angathi amakhulu mané; ngowasikwayo lowo; bathi bonke ababemthambele babhangazeka, ababa nto. 37Emva kwalowo kwesuka uYuda welaseGalili, ngemihla yobhalo lomlibo wokuzalwa, wakhukulisa abantu banela; naye lowo watshabalala; baza bonke ababemthambele bachithwachithwa. 38Kungoku ke ndithi kuni, Khwelelani kwaba bantu nibayeke; ngokuba eli cebo, nalo msebenzi, ukuba lingaba lelabantu, lotshitsha: 39ukuba ke lelikaThixo, aninakulitshitshisa; hleze nifunyanwe ningábalwá kwanoThixo.
40Bamthambela ke; bebabizile abapostile, babatyabula, babathethela ngelithi, mabangathethi ngegama likaYesu; babandulula ke.
41Bemka ke ngoko bona ebusweni bentlanganiso yamatyala, bevuya, ngokuba kuthiwe bakufanele ukuhlaziswa ngenxa yegama lakhe. 42Kananjalo imihla yonke etempileni, nasemakhaya, babengayeki ukufundisa nokushumayela iindaba ezilungileyo zokuba uYesu unguye uKristu.•
