1Kepha uSawulu esafutha izinsongo nokubulala abafundi beNkosi waya kumpristi omkhulu;
2wacela kuye izincwadi zokuya eDamaseku eziya emasinagogeni, ukuze kuthi uma ethola abanye baleyo Ndlela, abesilisa noma abesifazane, abalethe eJerusalema beboshiwe.
3Esahamba, wasondela eDamaseku, kwakhanya masinyane nxazonke kuye ukukhanya okuvela ezulwini.
4Wawa phansi, wezwa izwi lithi kuye: “Sawulu, Sawulu, ungizingelelani na?
5Wasesithi: Ungubani, Nkosi? INkosi yasisithi: Mina nginguJesu omzingelayo;
6Ethuthumela emangala wathi: “Nkosi, uthanda ukuba ngenzeni na? INkosi yasisithi kuye: Sukuma uye emzini, njalo uzatshelwa ofanele ukwenze.
7Lamadoda ayehamba laye ayemi engelakukhuluma, ezwa ilizwi, kodwa engaboni muntu.
8USawuli wasesukuma emhlabathini; esevulile amehlo akhe, akabonanga muntu, kepha bamhola ngesandla, bamyisa eDamaseku.
9Waba yizinsuku ezintathu engaboni, engadli, engaphuzi.
10EDamaseku kwakukhona umfundi othile ogama lakhe lingu-Ananiya; iNkosi yathi kuye embonweni: “Ananiya!” Wathi: Bheka, ngilapha, Nkosi.
11INkosi yasisithi kuye: Sukuma uye emgwaqweni othiwa uQondile, ubuze endlini kaJudasi othiwa nguSawuli waseTarsu;
12Ubone embonweni indoda okuthiwa ngu-Ananiya ingena ibeka isandla phezu kwakhe ukuze abuye abone.
13UAnaniya wasephendula wathi: Nkosi, ngizwile ngabanengi balumuntu ukuthi kungakanani okubi ekwenzile kwabangcwele bakho eJerusalema;
14nalapha unegunya kubapristi abakhulu lokubopha bonke ababiza igama lakho.
15Kodwa iNkosi yathi kuye: Hamba;
16Ngokuba mina ngiyakumbonisa ukuthi kungakanani omelwe ukuhlupheka ngakho ngenxa yegama lami.
17U-Ananiya wayesehamba, wangena endlini; ebeka izandla phezu kwakhe, wathi: “Sawulu mzalwane, iNkosi ingithumile uJesu, owabonakala kuwe endleleni oze ngayo, ukuba ubuye ubuye ubuye ugcwaliswe ngoMoya oNgcwele.
18Kwawa masinyane emehlweni akhe kungathi izinkwethu, wabuye wabona, wasukuma, wabhapathizwa.
19Kwathi esekudlile waqiniswa. Khona-ke uSawulu wayenabafundi baseDamaseku izinsuku ezithile.
20Masinyane washumayela emasinagogeni ngoKristu ukuthi yena uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
21Kepha bonke abamuzwayo bamangala, bathi; Lo akusiye yini owabhubhisa eJerusalema ababiza leli gama, futhi uze lapha ngale njongo, ukuze abayise kubapristi abakhulu beboshiwe?
22Kodwa uSawuli waba namandla kakhulu, wasanganisa abaJuda abakhileyo eDamaseku eqinisa ukuthi lo unguKristu.
23Kwathi seziphelile izinsuku eziningi, abaJuda benza icebo lokuba bambulale;
24Kodwa iqhinga labo laziwa nguSawuli. Bawalinda amasango imini nobusuku ukuba bambulale.
25Khona abafundi bamthatha ebusuku, bamehlisa ngogange ngeqoma.
26Kwathi uSawuli esefikile eJerusalema, walinga ukuzihlanganisa labafundi, kodwa bonke babemesaba, bengakholwa ukuthi ungumfundi.
27Kepha uBarnabasi wamthatha, wamyisa kubaphostoli, wabalandisa ukuthi uyibonile iNkosi endleleni, nokuthi yayikhulumile kuye, nokuthi wayeshumayele ngesibindi eDamaseku ngegama likaJesu.
28Wayenabo, engena ephuma eJerusalema.
29Wasekhuluma ngesibindi ngebizo leNkosi uJesu, ephikisana lamaGriki, kodwa azama ukumbulala.
30Abazalwane sebekwazi bamehlisela eKesariya, bamthumela eTarsu.
31Khona ibandla lathola ukuphumula kulo lonke elaseJudiya, naseGalile, naseSamariya, lisakheka. behamba ekwesabeni iNkosi, landa ngenduduzo kaMoya oNgcwele.
32Kwathi uPetru ebhoda ezindaweni zonke, wehlela nakwabangcwele abakhe eLida.
33Wafumana khona umuntu othiwa ngu-Eneya, owayeselele iminyaka eyisishiyagalombili efe uhlangothi.
34UPetru wathi kuye: “Eneya, uJesu Kristu uyakuphilisa; Wasesukuma masinyane.
35Bonke abakhileyo eLida naseSaroni bambona, baphendukela eNkosini.
36EJopha kwakukhona umfundikazi othile ogama lakhe linguThabitha, okungukuthi uDorka ngokuhunyushwa;
37Kwathi ngalezo zinsuku wagula, wafa; sebemgezile, bambeka ekamelweni eliphezulu.
38Ngokuba iLida laliseduze neJopha, nabafundi bezwile ukuthi uPetru ukhona, bathuma kuye amadoda amabili, bemcela ukuba angalibali ukuza kubo.
39UPetro wasesukuma wahamba labo. Esefikile bamyisa ekamelweni eliphezulu;
40Kepha uPetru wabakhiphela phandle bonke, waguqa, wakhuleka; waphendukela esidunjini, wathi: Thabitha, vuka. Yasivula amehlo ayo, yathi ibona uPetro yavuka yavuka.
41Wambamba ngesandla, wamsukumisa; wayesebabiza abangcwele nabafelokazi, wamethula ephilile.
42Kwase kwaziwa kuyo yonke iJopha; abaningi bakholwa yiNkosi.
43Kwathi wahlala izinsuku eziningi eJopha noSimoni othile, umshuki.
