iZenzo 9
1Ke kaloku uSawule, esabafuthela ngezigrogriso nokubabulala abafundi beNkosi, waya kumbingeleli omkhulu. 2Wacela kuye iincwadi zokuya eDamasko ezindlwini zesikhungu, ukuze athi, ethe wafumana abathile bale Ndlela, amadoda kwanabafazi, abazise bekhonkxiwe eYerusalem. 3Kuthe ke ekuhambeni kwakhe, wasondela eDamasko; waza ngesiquphe wabanekelwa ngeenxa zonke lukhanyiso oluvela ezulwini. 4Wawa emhlabeni, weva ilizwi lisithi kuye, Sawule, Sawule, unditshutshiselani na? 5Wathi ke yena, Ungubani na, Nkosi? Ithe ke iNkosi, Mna ndinguye uYesu omtshutshisayo wena; wenzakala ukuba ukhabe iimviko nje. 6Waza egubha, eqhiphuke umbilini, wathi, Nkosi, ufuna ukuba ndenze ntoni na? Ithe ke iNkosi kuye, Vuka, uye kuwo umzi; woyixelelwa into omelwe kukuyenza. 7Ke kaloku amadoda abehamba naye ema engenakuthetha, eliva okunene lona izwi, kodwa engaboni mntu. 8Wavuka uSawule emhlabeni; Uthe ke avuleka amehlo, akabona mntu; bamrhola ke ngesandla, bamngenisa eDamasko. 9Kwaba ntathu iintsuku engaboni, engadli, engaseli. 10Ke kaloku bekukho mfundi uthile eDamasko, ugama linguHananiya; yathi iNkosi kuye embonweni, Hananiya! Wathi ke yena, Ndilapha, Nkosi. 11Ithe ke iNkosi kuye, Phakama, uye esitratweni ekuthiwa sesithe Tye, ubuzise endlwini kaYuda lowo kuthiwa nguSawule, waseTarso; kuba nanko ethandaza; 12Ubone embonweni indoda egama linguHananiya, ingena, imbeka isandla, ukuze abuye abone. 13Waphendula ke uHananiya wathi, Nkosi, ndivile kwabaninzi ngale ndoda, ukuba zininzi kwazo izinto ezimbi ezenze kwabangcwele bakho eYerusalem; 14Nalapha, inegunya kubabingeleli abakhulu lokukhonkxa bonke abo balinqulayo igama lakho. 15Yathi ke kuye iNkosi, Hamba uhambe; ngokuba lowo usisitya esinyuliweyo kum, sokuphatha igama lam phambi kweentlanga, nookumkani, noonyana bakaSirayeli; 16kuba mna ndiya kumbonisa ukuba zinkulu kwezinto ezinzima, amelwe kukubandezeleka ngazo ngenxa yegama lam. 17Wemka 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. 18Kwangoko kwawa emehlweni akhe okungamaxolo, wabuya wabona kwaoko, wavuka, wabhaptizwa. 19Ekudleni kwakhe, womelela. Ke kaloku uSawule waba neentsuku ezithile nabafundi baseDamasko. 20Waye kwaoko, ezindlwini zesikhungu, emvakalisa uYesu, ukuba lowo unguye uNyana kaThixo. 21Bathi nqa ke bonke ababemva, bathi; Lo asinguye na owababhuqa eYerusalem abo babelinqula eli gama, weza nalapha ngenjongo, ukuba abase bekhonkxiwe kubabingeleli abakhulu? 22Kwaba kukhona womelelayo uSawule; wabetha adubadubeka amaYuda abemi eDamasko, ebonakalalisa ukuba lo nguye uKristu. 23Ke kaloku, kwakuzaliseka imihla eyaneleyo, abhunga amaYuda ukuba amsike. 24Kodwa iyelenqe lawo laziwa nguSawule. Awagcina ke namasango imini nobusuku, ukuba amsike. 25Bamthabatha ke abafundi ebusuku, bamhlisa ngodonga, bemthoba ngengobozi. 26Ke kaloku, akufika uSawule eYerusalem, wamana elinga ukuzibandakanya nabafundi; kodwa bamoyika bonke, bengakholwa ukuba ungumfundi. 27uBharnabhas ke wamthabatha wamsa kubapostile, wabacacisela ukuyibona kwakhe iNkosi endleleni, nokuba yathetha naye, nokuthetha kwakhe ngokungafihlisiyo eDamasko egameni likaYesu. 28Waye enabo ke, engena ephuma eYerusalem. 29Waza wathetha ngokungafihlisiyo egameni leNkosi uYesu, ephikisana namaYuda amaGrike. Babefuna ukumbulala. 30Bekwazile ke oko abazalwana, bamhlisela eKesareya, bamthumela eTarso. 31Laye ke ngoko ibandla kulo lonke elakwaYuda, nelaseGalili, nelaseSamariya, linoxolo, lisakheka. Baye behamba beyoyika iNkosi, besanda ngentuthuzelo yoMoya oyiNgcwele. 32Ke kaloku, akuba uPetros etyhutyha iindawo zonke, wehla weza nakwabangcwele ababemi eLida. 33Wafumana ke khona umntu othile, ogama linguEneya, eminyaka isibhozo elele elukhukweni enedumbe. 34Wathi ke uPetros kuye, Eneya, uyakuphilisa uYesu Kristu; vuka, wandlule. Wavuka kwangoko. 35Bambona bonke abemiyo eLida naseSaron, baguqukela eNkosini. 36Ke kaloku, eYopa kwakukho mfundikazi uthile, ugama linguTabhita, ekuthiwa ngentetho evakalayo nguDorkas; 37Kwathi ke ngaloo mihla, wahliwa sisifo, wafa; bathe ke bakuba bemhlambile, bambeka egumbini eliphezulu. 38Ke kaloku iLida ibikufuphi nje neYopa; bathi abafundi, bevile ukuba uPetros ukhona, bathuma amadoda amabini kuye, bembongoza ukuba eze kubo, angalibali. 39Wesuka ke uPetros wahamba nabo. Efikile, bamsa egumbini eliphezulu; bema ngakuye bonke abahlolokazi, belila, bembonisa iingubo zangaphantsi nezokwaleka abezenza uDorkas oko ebenabo. 40uPetros wabakhuphela phandle bonke, waguqa wathandaza; wamjikela emzimbeni, wathi, Tabhita, vuka. Yawavula ke amehlo ayo, yathi yakumbona uPetros, yavuka yathi nkqo. 41Waza wambamba ngesandla, wamphakamisa, wababiza abangcwele nabahlolokazi, wammisa phambi kwabo ehleli. 42Kwazeka oko kuyo yonke iYopa; bakholwa eNkosini into eninzi. 43Uthe ke wahlala imihla emininzi eYopa kunye noSimon uthile, umsuki wezikhumba.
