IzEnzo 16:1-40 Baasraak Zulu New Testament Bible (ZULUNT)
Khona wafika eDerbe naseListra; bheka, kwakukhona lapho umfundi othile, uThimothewu igama lakhe, indodana yowesifazane ongumJuda okholiweyo; kepha uyise wayengumGreki. owayefakazelwa kahle ngabazalwane baseListra nase-Ikoniyu. yena uPawulu wathanda ukuba ahambe naye; wamthatha, wamsoka ngenxa yabaJuda ababekulezo zindawo, ngokuba bonke babazi ukuthi uyise ungumGreki. Kwathi bedabula imizi, babanika izimiso ezamiswa ngabaphostoli namalunga aseJerusalema ukuba bazigcine. Ngakho-ke amabandla aqiniswa ekukholweni, anda ngenani imihla ngemihla. Sebedabule izwe laseFrigiya nelaseGalathiya, benqatshelwe nguMoya oNgcwele ukulishumayela izwi e-Asiya; Sebefikile eMisiya balinga ukungena eBhithiniya, kodwa uMoya kabavumelanga. Sebedlula eMisiya behlela eTrowa. Kwabonakala umbono kuPawulu ebusuku; kwakumi indoda yaseMakedoniya, imncenga, ithi: Welela eMakedoniya, usisize. Esewubonile umbono, sahle sazama ukuya eMakedoniya, sesibonile impela ukuthi iNkosi isibizile ukuba sishumayele ivangeli kubo. Ngakho sasuka eTrowa ngomkhumbi, saqonda eSamotraki, ngangomuso safika eNeyapholi; Sisuka lapho saya eFiliphi, umuzi oyinhloko yesifunda saseMakedoniya, uyikoloni; sahlala izinsuku ezithile kulowo muzi. Kwathi ngesabatha saphumela ngaphandle komuzi ngasemfuleni, lapho okwakumelwe ukukhuleka khona; sahlala phansi, sakhuluma kwabesifazane ababebuthene khona. Owesifazane othile ogama lakhe linguLidiya, engumthengisi wezibubende, womuzi waseThiyathira, okhonza uNkulunkulu, wasizwa, onhliziyo yakhe iNkosi yayivula ukuba alalele okwakhulunywa nguPawulu. Kuthe esebhapathiziwe kanye nendlu yakhe, wasincenga, wathi: “Uma nithi ngikholekile eNkosini, ngenani endlini yami, nihlale khona. Futhi wasicindezela. Kwasekusithi siyakukhuleka, intombazana ethile eyayilomoya wokubhula yasihlangabeza, eyayizuzela abaniniyo inzuzo enkulu ngokubhula. Yona yamlandela uPawulu nathi, yamemeza yathi: “Laba bantu bayizinceku zikaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke ezishumayela kithi indlela yensindiso. Wakwenza lokho izinsuku eziningi. Kepha uPawulu edabukile waphenduka, wathi kumoya: “Ngiyakuyala ngegama likaJesu Kristu ukuba uphume kuyo.” Waphuma ngaso leso sikhathi. Abaphathi bakhe sebebonile ukuthi ithemba lenzuzo yabo seliphelile, babamba oPawulu noSila, babadonsela esigcawini kubaphathi; Wabayisa ezinduneni, wathi: Laba bantu bengamaJuda bawuhlupha kakhulu umuzi wakithi. futhi bafundisa amasiko esingavunyelwe ukuba siwamukele kumbe siwenze, singamaRoma. Isixuku sabavukela, nezinduna zayala ukuba bashaywe. Sebebashayile imivimbo eminingi, babaphonsa etilongweni, bayala umgciniziboshwa ukuba abagcine ngokunesizotha; yena esemukele umyalo onjalo wabaphonsa etilongweni elingaphakathi, wabopha izinyawo zabo ogongolweni. Kepha phakathi kobusuku oPawulu noSila bakhuleka, bamdumisa uNkulunkulu ngamahubo, iziboshwa zabezwa. Kwase kuba khona ukuzamazama komhlaba okukhulu, kwaze kwazanyazanyiswa izisekelo zetilongo; kwavuleka khona lapho iminyango yonke, athukululwa nezibopho zabo bonke. Kwathi umgciniziboshwa ephaphama, ebona iminyango yetilongo ivulekile, wahosha inkemba yakhe, efuna ukuzibulala, ngokuthi iziboshwa zibalekile. Kepha uPawulu wamemeza ngezwi elikhulu, wathi: “Ungazilimazi, ngokuba sikhona sonke. Wasebiza isibane, wagijimela phakathi, weza ethuthumela, wawa phambi kukaPawuli loSila. Wabakhiphela phandle, wathi: “Makhosi, ngimelwe ukwenzani ukuba ngisindiswe na? Basebesithi: Kholwa yiNkosi uJesu, njalo uzasindiswa wena lendlu yakho. Base bekhuluma kuye izwi leNkosi nakubo bonke ababesendlini yakhe. Wabathatha ngaso leso sikhathi sobusuku, wabageza imivimbo; wabhapathizwa khona lapho, yena nabo bonke abakhe. Wabangenisa endlini yakhe, wababekela ukudla, wathokoza kanye nendlu yakhe yonke ngokukholwa nguNkulunkulu. Kwathi sekusile, izinduna zathuma izikhonzi, zithi: “Khulula labo bantu; Umgciniziboshwa wabikela uPawulu lawo mazwi, wathi: “Izinduna zithumele ukuba nikhululwe; Kepha uPawulu wathi kubo: “Basishayile obala singalahlwanga cala, thina singamaRoma, basiphonsa etilongweni; manje basikhipha ngasese na? cha impela; kodwa mabeze bona basikhiphe. Izikhonzi zakhuluma lawo mazwi ezinduneni, zesaba zizwa ukuthi bangamaRoma. Beza babancenga, babakhipha, babacela ukuba baphume emzini. Base bephuma etilongweni, bangena endlini kaLidiya; sebebonile abazalwane, babaduduza, bamuka.
IzEnzo 16:1-40 IsiZulu 2020 (ZUL20)
UPawula wahamba waze wafika eDerbe naseListra. Lapho kwakukhona umfundi othile, igama lakhe kunguThimothewu, indodana yowesifazane okholwayo wakwaJuda, kodwa uyise wayengumGriki, owayenconywa ngabazalwane baseListra nabase-Ikhoniyu. UPawula wathanda ukuba ahambe naye, wamthatha, wamsoka ngenxa yabaJuda ababekulezo zindawo, ngokuba bonke babazi ukuthi uyise ungumGriki. Lapho bedabula emizini, babedlulisela kubo izinqumo ezathathwa ngabaphostoli namalunga aseJerusalema, ukuba bazigcine. Ngakho-ke amabandla akhula ekukholweni, anda ngesibalo imihla ngemihla. Badabula eFrigiya naseGalathiya, kodwa uMoya oNgcwele wabanqabela ukukhuluma izwi e-Asiya. Sebefikile eMisiya, bazama ukuya eBhithiniya, kodwa uMoya kaJesu awubavumelanga. Badlula eMisiya, behlela eThrowa. UPawula wabona umbono ebusuku: indoda ethile yaseMakhedoniya yayimi imncenga, ithi: “Welela eMakhedoniya, usisize.” Kuthe esewubonile lowo mbono; wafuna ukuya ngokushesha eMakhedoniya, ngokuba sasikholwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu usibizile ukuba sishumayele ivangeli kubo. Sasuka eThrowa ngomkhumbi, saqonda eSamothrake, kwathi ngakusasa safika eNeyapholi. Sasuka lapho saya eFiliphi, elingumuzi ovelele esifundeni saseMakhedoniya, ikoloni. Sahlala kulo muzi izinsuku ezithile. Ngosuku lweSabatha, saphumela ngaphandle kwesango ngasemfuleni, lapho esasifuna kube yindawo yokukhuleka. Sesihleli phansi, sakhuluma nabesifazane ababebuthene lapho. Owesifazane othile, ogama lakhe linguLidiya, wasemzini waseThiyathira, othengisa ezibukhwebezane, okhonza uNkulunkulu, walalela. INkosi yayivula inhliziyo yakhe ukuba alalelisise lokho okwakukhulunywa nguPawula. Kuthe esebhabhadisiwe nabendlu yakhe, wasincenga wathi: “Uma nithi ngethembekile eNkosini, ngenani endlini yami, nihlale khona.” Wasehlula. Kwathi lapho siya endaweni yokukhuleka, kweza intombazane enomoya wobungoma, eyayitholela abaniniyo inzuzo enkulu ngokubhula. Yalandela uPawula kanye nathi, imemeza ithi: “Laba bantu bayizinceku zikaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke, ezimemezela kini indlela yensindiso.” Yakwenza lokhu izinsuku eziningi, kodwa uPawula esecasukile waphenduka, wathi kumoya: “Ngiyakuyala egameni likaJesu uKhristu ukuba uphume kuyo.” Waphuma ngaso leso sikhathi. Kwathi ukuba abaniniyo babone ukuthi ithemba labo lokuthola inzuzo seliphelile, babamba uPawula noSila, babahudulela esigcawini phambi kwababusi, babayisa ezinduneni, bathi: “Laba bantu banyakazisa umuzi wakithi, bebe bengabaJuda, bafundisa amasiko esingavunyelwe ukuba siwamukele noma siwenze thina esingamaRoma.” Isixuku sabavukela, izinduna zayalela ukuba bakhunyulwe izingubo, bashaywe ngezinduku. Sebebashayile imivimbo eminingi, bagqunywa etilongweni. Izinduna zayala umgciniziboshwa ukuba abaqaphelisise impela. Kwathi eseyalwe kanjalo, qede wabafaka ejele elingaphakathi, wabophela izinyawo zabo ogongolweni. Kepha phakathi nobusuku uPawula noSila bekhuleka bedumisa uNkulunkulu ngamahubo, iziboshwa zazibalalele. Ngokuphazima kweso kwaba khona ukuzamazama komhlaba okukhulu, kwaze kwanyakaza nezisekelo zejele; masinyane yonke iminyango yavuleka, namaketango ababeboshwe ngawo, athukululeka. Umgciniziboshwa esephapheme, wabona iminyango yejele ivulekile, wayesehosha inkemba efuna ukuzibulala, ngokuba wayecabanga ukuthi iziboshwa zeqile. Kepha uPawula wamemeza ngezwi elikhulu, wathi: “Ungazilimazi, ngokuba sikhona sonke.” Wayesethi akulethwe izibani, wagijima ethuthumela, wangena ngaphakathi, wafike wazilahla phambi kukaPawula noSila. Wabakhiphela ngaphandle, wathi: “Banumzane, ngimelwe ukwenzani ukuba ngisindiswe na?” Bona bathi: “Kholwa yiNkosi uJesu, yikhona uzakusindiswa, wena nendlu yakho.” Base bekhuluma ngezwi likaNkulunkulu kuye nakubo bonke ababesendlini yakhe. Wabathatha khona ebusuku, wabageza amanxeba, yena wabhabhadiswa nabo bonke abendlu yakhe, wabenyusela endlini, wababekela ukudla, wathokoza kanye nendlu yakhe yonke ngokukholwa nguNkulunkulu. Kepha sekusile izinduna zathumela izikhonzi, zathi: “Bakhulule labo bantu!” Umgciniziboshwa wabikela uPawula lawa mazwi, wathi: “Izinduna zithumele ukuba nikhululwe. Ngakho-ke phumani khona manje, nihambe ngokuthula.” Kepha uPawula wathi kuzo: “Basishayile phambi kwabantu, singalahlwanga cala, thina singabantu abangamaRoma, basigquma ejele. Manje basikhipha ngasese na? Phinde, neze! Abeze bona, basikhiphe.” Izikhonzi zazibikela izinduna lawo mazwi. Zesaba lapho zizwa ukuthi bangamaRoma. Sezifikile zabancenga, sezibakhiphile zabanxusa ukuba basuke kulowo muzi. Sebephumile ejele, bangena kwaLidiya, kwathi sebebabonile abazalwane, babakhuthaza, base behamba.

Khona wehlela eDerbe naseListra. Bheka, kwakukhona lapho umfundi othile, nguThimothewu igama lakhe, indodana yowesifazane wakwaJuda okholiweyo, kepha uyise wayengumGreki, owayefakazelwa kahle ngabazalwane baseListra nabase-Ikoniyu. Lowo uPawulu wathanda ukuba ahambe naye, wamthatha, wamsoka ngenxa yabaJuda ababekhona kulezo zindawo; ngokuba bonke babemazi ukuthi uyise wayengumGreki. Kwathi bedabula imizi, babanika izinqumo ezanqunywa ngabaphostoli namalunga aseJerusalema ukuba bazigcine. Njalo-ke amabandla aqiniswa ekukholweni, anda ngobuningi imihla ngemihla. Base bedabula izwe laseFrigiya nelaseGalathiya, benqatshelwe nguMoya oNgcwele ukulikhuluma izwi e-Asiya; sebefikile ngaseMisiya, balinga ukuya eBithiniya, kepha uMoya kaJesu akabavumelanga. Badlula eMisiya, behlela eTrowa. Kwabonakala kuPawulu umbono ebusuku; indoda ethile yaseMakedoniya eyayimi imncenga yathi: “Welela eMakedoniya, usisize.” Lapho esewubonile umbono, safuna masinyane ukuya eMakedoniya, sathi uNkulunkulu usibizile ukuba sibashumayeze ivangeli. Khona samuka eTrowa ngomkhumbi, saqonda eSamotrake, ngangomuso safika eNeyapholi. Sisuka lapho saya eFilipi elingumuzi oyikhanda lesifunda saseMakedoniya, ikoloni.* Kulowo muzi sahlala izinsuku ezithile. Ngosuku lwesabatha saphumela ngaphandle kwesango ngasemfuleni, lapho sathi babevama ukukhuleka khona; sahlala phansi, sakhuluma kubo abesifazane ababebuthene. Owesifazane othile ogama lakhe linguLidiya, engumthengisi wezibubende, wasemzini waseThiyathira, okhonza uNkulunkulu, walalela, iNkosi yayivula inhliziyo yakhe ukuba aqaphele okwakhulunywa nguPawulu. Kuthe esebhapathiziwe kanye nendlu yakhe, wasincenga wathi: “Uma nithi ngikholekile eNkosini, ngenani endlini yami, nihlale khona;” wasicindezela. Kwathi siya endaweni yokukhuleka, kwahlangana nathi intombazana enomoya wobungoma, eyayitholela abaniniyo inzuzo enkulu ngokubhula.

Kepha uPawulu esecasukile waphenduka, wathi kumoya: “Ngiyakuyala egameni likaJesu Kristu ukuba uphume kuyo.” Wayesephuma ngaso leso sikhathi. Kwathi abaniniyo sebebonile ukuthi ithemba lenzuzo yabo limukile, bababamba oPawulu noSila, babahudulela esigcawini phambi kwababusi, babayisa ezinduneni, bathi: “Laba bantu banyakazisa umuzi wakithi bengabaJuda; bafundisa imikhuba esingavunyelwe ukuba siyamukele, siyenze thina esingamaRoma.” Isixuku sase sibavukela, nezinduna zayala ukuba bahlutshulwe izingubo, bashaywe ngenduku; sezibashayile imivimbo eminingi, zabaphonsa etilongweni, zayala umgciniziboshwa ukuba abagcine impela; yena eyaliwe kanjalo wabaphonsa etilongweni elingaphakathi, wabopha izinyawo zabo ogongolweni. Kepha phakathi kobusuku oPawulu noSila bekhuleka bamdumisa uNkulunkulu ngamahubo, iziboshwa zabezwa; kwavela ngokuzuma ukuzamazama komhlaba okukhulu, kwaze kwazanyazanyiswa izisekelo zetilongo; kwavuleka khona lapho iminyango yonke, kwathukuluka nezibopho zabo bonke. Kwathi umgciniziboshwa ephaphama, wabona iminyango yetilongo ivulekile; wayesehosha inkemba efuna ukuzibulala, ngokuba wathi iziboshwa ziphunyukile. Kepha uPawulu wamemeza ngezwi elikhulu, wathi: “Ungazilimazi, ngokuba sikhona sonke.” Wayesebiza izibani, wagijimela phakathi ethuthumela, wawa phansi phambi kukaPawulu noSila, wabakhiphela ngaphandle, wathi: “Makhosi, ngimelwe ukwenzani ukuba ngisindiswe na?” Bona bathi: “Kholwa yiNkosi uJesu, yikhona uzakusindiswa wena nendlu yakho.” Base bemshumayeza izwi likaNkulunkulu, yena nabo bonke ababesendlini yakhe.

Ngakho phumani manje, nihambe ngokuthula.” Kepha uPawulu wathi kuzo: “Basishayile phambi kwabantu singalahlwanga cala, thina singabantu abangamaRoma, basiphonsa etilongweni; manje basikhipha ngasese na? Qhabo, akuze bona, basikhiphe.” Izikhonzi zabikela izinduna lawo mazwi. Zona zesaba sezizwa ukuthi bangamaRoma, zeza zabancenga; sezibakhiphile zabanxusa ukuba bamuke emzini.
