iZenzo 9:1-22 CXB24

Ke kaloku uSawule, esabafuthela ngezigrogriso nokubabulala abafundi beNkosi, waya kumbingeleli omkhulu. Wacela kuye iincwadi zokuya eDamasko ezindlwini zesikhungu, ukuze athi, ethe wafumana abathile bale Ndlela, amadoda kwanabafazi, abazise bekhonkxiwe eYerusalem. Kuthe ke ekuhambeni kwakhe, wasondela eDamasko; waza ngesiquphe wabanekelwa ngeenxa zonke lukhanyiso oluvela ezulwini. Wawa emhlabeni, weva ilizwi lisithi kuye, Sawule, Sawule, unditshutshiselani na? Wathi ke yena, Ungubani na, Nkosi? Ithe ke iNkosi, Mna ndinguye uYesu omtshutshisayo wena; wenzakala ukuba ukhabe iimviko nje. Waza egubha, eqhiphuke umbilini, wathi, Nkosi, ufuna ukuba ndenze ntoni na? Ithe ke iNkosi kuye, Vuka, uye kuwo umzi; woyixelelwa into omelwe kukuyenza. Ke kaloku amadoda abehamba naye ema engenakuthetha, eliva okunene lona izwi, kodwa engaboni mntu. Wavuka uSawule emhlabeni; Uthe ke avuleka amehlo, akabona mntu; bamrhola ke ngesandla, bamngenisa eDamasko. Kwaba ntathu iintsuku engaboni, engadli, engaseli. Ke kaloku bekukho mfundi uthile eDamasko, ugama linguHananiya; yathi iNkosi kuye embonweni, Hananiya! Wathi ke yena, Ndilapha, Nkosi. Ithe ke iNkosi kuye, Phakama, uye esitratweni ekuthiwa sesithe Tye, ubuzise endlwini kaYuda lowo kuthiwa nguSawule, waseTarso; kuba nanko ethandaza; Ubone embonweni indoda egama linguHananiya, ingena, imbeka isandla, ukuze abuye abone. Waphendula ke uHananiya wathi, Nkosi, ndivile kwabaninzi ngale ndoda, ukuba zininzi kwazo izinto ezimbi ezenze kwabangcwele bakho eYerusalem; Nalapha, inegunya kubabingeleli abakhulu lokukhonkxa bonke abo balinqulayo igama lakho. Yathi ke kuye iNkosi, Hamba uhambe; ngokuba lowo usisitya esinyuliweyo kum, sokuphatha igama lam phambi kweentlanga, nookumkani, noonyana bakaSirayeli; kuba mna ndiya kumbonisa ukuba zinkulu kwezinto ezinzima, amelwe kukubandezeleka ngazo ngenxa yegama lam. Wemka ke uHananiya, waya kungena endlwini; Wabeka izandla phezu kwakhe, wathi, Sawule, mzalwana, indithumile iNkosi uYesu, ebonakeleyo kuwe endleleni oze ngayo, ukuze ubuye ubuye ubone, uzaliswe nguMoya oyiNgcwele. Kwangoko kwawa emehlweni akhe okungamaxolo, wabuya wabona kwaoko, wavuka, wabhaptizwa. Ekudleni kwakhe, womelela. Ke kaloku uSawule waba neentsuku ezithile nabafundi baseDamasko. Waye kwaoko, ezindlwini zesikhungu, emvakalisa uYesu, ukuba lowo unguye uNyana kaThixo. Bathi nqa ke bonke ababemva, bathi; Lo asinguye na owababhuqa eYerusalem abo babelinqula eli gama, weza nalapha ngenjongo, ukuba abase bekhonkxiwe kubabingeleli abakhulu? Kwaba kukhona womelelayo uSawule; wabetha adubadubeka amaYuda abemi eDamasko, ebonakalalisa ukuba lo nguye uKristu.
