IzEnzo 23:1-35 IBHAYIBHELI ELINGCWELE (ZUL59)
UPawulu wayesegqolozela umphakathi, wathi: “Madoda, bazalwane, mina ngihambile phambi kukaNkulunkulu nginonembeza wonke omuhle kuze kube namuhla.” Kepha umpristi omkhulu u-Ananiya wayala ababemi khona ukuba bamshaye umlomo. Khona uPawulu wathi kuye: “UNkulunkulu uzakukushaya wena ludonga olucakiweyo; uhlalele ukungahlulela ngokomthetho, kodwa ngokuphambene nomthetho uyala ukuba ngishaywe na?” Ababemi khona base bethi: “Uthuka umpristi omkhulu kaNkulunkulu na?” UPawulu wayesethi: “Bengingazi, bazalwane, ukuthi ungumpristi omkhulu; ngokuba kulotshiwe ukuthi: “ ‘Ungakhulumi kabi ngombusi wesizwe sakini.’ ” Kepha kwathi uPawulu azi ukuthi enye inxenye yabo ingabaSadusi nenye ingabaFarisi, wamemeza emphakathini, wathi: “Madoda, bazalwane, ngingumFarisi mina, ngiyindodana yabaFarisi; ngimangalelwa ngethemba nangokuvuka kwabafileyo.” Eseshilo lokho, kwavela ukuphambana phakathi kwabaFarisi nabaSadusi, ibandla lahlukana kabili. Ngokuba abaSadusi bathi akukho ukuvuka kwabafileyo, nangelosi, namoya, kepha abaFarisi bavuma kokubili. Kwase kuvela umsindo omkhulu, kwasukuma abathile kubabhali benxenye yabaFarisi, balwa kakhulu, bathi: “Asifumani lutho olubi kulo muntu; uma, pho, kukhulume kuye umoya noma ingelosi na?” Kwathi sekuvele isiyaluyalu esikhulu, induna yenkulungwane yesaba ukuba uPawulu angadwengulwa yibo, yayala impi ukuba yehle imhlwithe phakathi kwabo, imyise ekamu.* Ngobusuku obulandelayo iNkosi yema ngakuye, yathi: “Yima isibindi; njengalokho ufakaze ngami eJerusalema, ngokunjalo umelwe ukufakaza naseRoma.” Kwathi sekusile, abaJuda benza iqeqeba, bazilokothela bethi abayikudla, bangaphuzi, bengakambulali uPawulu. Babengaphezu kwamashumi amane ababenze lelo cebo. Bona base beza kubapristi abakhulu nasemalungeni, bathi: “Sizibophe ngesilokothelo sokuthi asiyikuzwa ukudla size simbulale uPawulu. Manje-ke nina kanye nomphakathi yazisani induna yenkulungwane ukuba imehlisele kini ngokungathi nizakuhlolisisa indaba yakhe; thina-ke silungele ukumbulala engakasondeli.” Kepha indodana kadadewabo kaPawulu yezwa ngokumqamekela kwabo, yafika yangena ekamu,* yambikela uPawulu. UPawulu wayesebiza enye induna yekhulu, wathi: “Yisa le nsizwa enduneni yenkulungwane, ngokuba inento ezakuyibika kuyo.” Yayisiyithatha-ke, yayiyisa enduneni yenkulungwane, yathi: “Isiboshwa uPawulu singibizile, sacela ukuba ngilethe le nsizwa kuwe, inento ezakukutshela yona.” Induna yenkulungwane yayisiyibamba ngesandla, yagudluka nayo, yayibuza bebodwa, yathi: “Kuyini ozakungibikela khona na?” Yathi: “AbaJuda bavumelene ukucela kuwe ukuba wehlisele uPawulu emphakathini ngomuso ngokungathi bazakuhlolisisa indaba yakhe. Ngakho-ke wena ungabavumeli, ngokuba kubona amqamekele amadoda angaphezu kwamashumi amane azilokotheleyo ukuba angadli, angaphuzi, engakambulali; manje-ke sebelungele bebheke isithembiso sakho.” Khona induna yenkulungwane yayisiyimukisa insizwa, isiyiyalile ukuba ingatsheli muntu ukuthi imbikele lokho. Yayisibiza izinduna zekhulu ezimbili, yathi: “Lungisani amabutho angamakhulu amabili alungele ukuya eKesariya ngehora lesithathu lasebusuku, kanye nezinkweli ezingamashumi ayisikhombisa, nabemikhonto abangamakhulu amabili, kulungiselwe futhi izilwane, ukuze bakhwelise uPawulu, bamyise kahle kuFeliksi umbusi,” yaloba incwadi ehlelwe kanje: UKlawudiyu Lisiya kuye uFeliksi umbusi odumileyo; ngiyakubingelela. Le ndoda ibibanjwe ngabaJuda; ibisizakubulawa yibo, ngafika namabutho, ngayophula sengizwile ukuba ingumRoma. Ngathi ngifuna ukwazi icala abayimangalela ngalo, ngayehlisela emphakathini wabo; ngayifumana imangalelwe ngezindaba zomthetho wakubo, kepha engamangalelwa ngalutho olufanele ukufa nokuba ukuboshwa. Sekudaluliwe kimi ukuthi kukhona icebo ngaleyo ndoda, ngase ngiyithumela kuwe masinyane, ngibayalile nabayimangalelayo ukuba bakhulume ngayo phambi kwakho. Khona amabutho ayesemthatha uPawulu njengokuyalwa kwawo, amyisa e-Antipatheri ebusuku. Kepha ngangomuso ashiya izinkweli ukuba zihambe naye; wona abuyela ekamu;* lezo sezifikile eKesariya zanika umbusi incwadi, zamisa uPawulu phambi kwakhe. Eseyifundile wambuza ukuthi ungowasiphi isifunda; esezwile ukuthi ungowaseKhilikhiya, wathi: “Ngiyakuyizwa kahle indaba yakho, nxa sebefikile abakumangalelayo.” Wayala ukuba alondwe enqabeni kaHerode.

Umpristi omkhulu u-Ananiya wayala ababemi eduze kwakhe ukuba bamshaye emlonyeni. UPawuli wasesithi kuye: UNkulunkulu uzakutshaya wena ludonga olucakiweyo; Lababemi khona bathi: Uthuka umpristi omkhulu kaNkulunkulu yini? UPawuli wasesithi: Bengingazi, bazalwane, ukuthi ungumpristi omkhulu; Kodwa uPawuli esekwazi ukuthi enye ingxenye ingabaSadusi lelinye ingabaFarisi, wamemeza emphakathini wathi: Madoda, bazalwane, mina ngingumFarisi, indodana yomFarisi; umbuzo. Eseshilo lokho, kwavela ukungezwani phakathi kwabaFarisi nabaSadusi, uquqaba lwahlukana phakathi.

Ngobusuku obulandelayo iNkosi yema ngakuye, yathi: “Yima isibindi, uPawulu; Kwathi sekusile, abaJuda benza icebo, bazibopha ngesiqalekiso, bathi abayikudla, bangaphuzi, bengakambulali uPawulu. Babengaphezu kwamashumi amane abenze lelo tulo. Bona-ke beza kubapristi abakhulu labadala bathi: Sizibophe ngesiqalekiso, ukuthi kasiyikudla lutho singakambulali uPawuli. Ngakho-ke nina kanye nomphakathi bonisani induna yenkulungwane ukuba imehlisele kini kusasa ngokungathi nifuna ukuhlolisisa kahle okumayelana naye; Kwathi indodana kadadewabo kaPawuli isizwile ngokuqamekela kwabo, yasuka yangena enkambeni yamabutho, yabikela uPawuli. UPawuli wasebizela kuye enye induna yekhulu, wathi: Yisa lelijaha enduneni yenkulungwane, ngoba lilendaba ethile kuyo. Yayibamba-ke, yayisa enduneni enkulu, yathi: “UPawuli isiboshwa ungibizile, wangincenga ukuba ngilethe leli nsizwa kuwe, linento ezokhuluma kuwe. Induna yenkulungwane yasibamba isandla salo, yahamba laye ngasese, yasibuza yathi: Kuyini ozangitshela khona? Yathi: “AbaJuda bavumelene ukukucela ukuba wehlisele uPawuli emphakathini kusasa, kungathi bafuna ukuhlolisisa kahle okunye ngaye. Kodwa ungabayekeli, ngoba kubo bamqamekele amadoda angaphezu kwamatshumi amane, azibophe ngesifungo ukuthi kabayikudla lokunatha aze ambulale; kalokhu aselungile, akhangele. ngesithembiso esivela kuwe. Khona induna yenkulungwane yayisiyiyeke insizwa, yayiyala ngokuthi: “Bheka, ungatsheli muntu ukuthi ungibikele lokho. Yasibizela kuye izinduna zekhulu ezimbili, yathi: “Lungisani amasosha angamakhulu amabili ukuba aye eKesariya, nabamahhashi abangamashumi ayisikhombisa, nababikhonto abangamakhulu amabili, ngehora lesithathu lobusuku; nilungisele nezilwane, ukuze bamkhwelise uPawulu, bamyise kuFeliksi umbusi ephephile.

UPawula wawubuka umkhandlu, wathi: “Madoda, bazalwane, mina ngihambe phambi kukaNkulunkulu nginonembeza omsulwa, kuze kube namuhla.” Umphristi omkhulu, u-Ananiya, wayala ababemi eduze naye ukuba bamshaye umlomo. Khona uPawula wathi kuye: “UNkulunkulu uzakukushaya wena ludonga olucakiweyo; uhleli ukuba ungehlulele ngokomthetho, kodwa wephula umthetho ngokuyala ukuba ngishaywe na?” Ababemi lapho base bethi: “Uthuka umphristi omkhulu kaNkulunkulu na?” UPawula wayesethi: “Bengingazi, bazalwane, ukuthi ungumphristi omkhulu, ngokuba kulotshiwe ukuthi: “ ‘Ungakhulumi kabi ngombusi wesizwe sakini.’ ” UPawula azi ukuthi bangamaqembu, enye ingxenye ingeyabaSadusi, enye ingeyabaFarisi, wayesememeza emkhandlwini, wathi: “Madoda, bazalwane, mina ngingumFarisi, nendodana yomFarisi, ngibekwe icala lokuthi nginethemba lokuvuka kwabafileyo.” Esekushilo lokho, kwaqubuka impikiswano phakathi kwabaFarisi nabaSadusi, izixuku zehlukana kabili. Ngokuba abaSadusi bathi akukho ukuvuka kwabafileyo, nangelosi, namoya, kodwa abaFarisi bayakuvuma konke. Kwaqubuka omkhulu umsindo, kwase kusukuma abathile beqembu labaFarisi abayizazimthetho, balwa kakhulu, bethi: “Asifumani lutho olubi kulo muntu. Siyothini uma kukhulume ingelosi noma umoya kuye na?” Kuthe sekusuke esinamathambo, induna yenkulungwane yesaba ukuthi uPawula bangahle bamenzakalise, yayisiyala amabutho ukuba ehle, amsuse phakathi kwabo, amyise enkanjini. Ngobusuku obulandelayo iNkosi yema ngakuye, yathi: “Yima isibindi; njengokuba ufakaze ngami eJerusalema, kanjalo umelwe ukufakaza naseRoma.” Kwathi kungasa, abaJuda benza itulo, bazibophezela ukuthi abasoze badla futhi baphuze lutho bengakambulali uPawula. Babengama-40 labo abenza lelo tulo. Baya kubaphristi abakhulu nakumalunga, bathi: “Sizibophezele esifungweni sokuthi asiyukukuthi mbibi ukudla, size simbulale uPawula. Ngakho-ke manje, nina kanye nomkhandlu yazisani induna yenkulungwane ukuba imehlisele kini ngokungathi nihlose ukuhlolisisa udaba lwakhe; thina-ke sikulungele ukumbulala engakasondeli.” Kepha umshana kaPawula walizwa icebo labo lokumlalela unyendle, bambulale, wayeseya enkanjini, wangena, wambikela uPawula. UPawula wabiza enye induna yekhulu, wathi kuyo: “Ake uyise le nsizwa enduneni yenkulungwane, kunokuthile ezakukubika kuyo.” Ngakho-ke isiyithathile, yayiyisa enduneni yenkulungwane, yathi: “Isiboshwa uPawula singibizile, sangicela ukuba ngilethe le nsizwa kuwe, kunokuthile ezakukutshela khona.” Induna yenkulungwane yayibamba ngesandla, yathi ukugudluka nayo, yayisiyibuza sebebodwa, yathi: “Kuyini ofuna ukungibikela khona na?” Yathi: “AbaJuda bavumelene ukuza bakucele ukuba kusasa wehlisele uPawula emkhandlwini, ngokungathi bahlose ukuhlolisisa udaba lwakhe. Ngakho-ke ungabavumeli, ngokuba phakathi kwabo kunamadoda angaphezulu kwama-40 azomlalela unyendle, ngokuba azibophe ngesifungo ukuthi awazukudla futhi awazukuphuza engakambulali uPawula. Manje bakulungele lokho, futhi balindele ukuba uvume.” Ngakho-ke induna yenkulungwane yayimukisa insizwa, yayiyala ukuba ingatsheli muntu lokho ebizombikela khona. Induna yenkulungwane yayisibiza izinduna zekhulu ezimbili, yathi kuzo: “Hlelani amabutho angama-200 ukuze alungele ukuya eKhesariya ngehora lesithathu ebusuku, nabagibele amahhashi abangama-70, nabemicibisholo abangama-200. Nilungisele noPawula isilwane azogibela kuso, ukuze nimyise kuFelikisi, umbusi, ephephile.” Yase iloba incwadi eyayihlelwe kanje: “UKlawudiyu Lisiya, kuye uFelikisi umbusi odumileyo, ngiyabingelela. “Le ndoda ibibanjwe ngabaJuda, kwathi lapho sebezoyibulala, ngafika namabutho, ngayisindisa sengizwile ukuthi ingumRoma. Ngifuna ukwazi icala abayimangalela ngalo, ngayehlisela emkhandlwini wabo. Ngafumana ukuthi imangalelwe ngezindaba zomthetho wakubo, kodwa kungekho lutho olufanele ukubulawa noma ukuboshwa. Kuthe sekudaluliwe kimi ukuthi kunozungu eboshelwe lona, ngayithumela kuwe ngokushesha, ngabayala nabayimangalelayo ukuba beze kuwe bazokhuluma ngayo phambi kwakho.” Ngakho-ke amabutho amthatha uPawula njengalokhu ayeyaliwe, amyisa e-Antiphatheri ebusuku. Ngakusasa ashiya ababegibele amahhashi ukuba bahambe naye, wona ayesebuyela enkanjini. Ekufikeni kwabo eKhesariya banika umbusi incwadi, bammisa noPawula phambi kombusi. Umbusi eseyifundile incwadi, wambuza uPawula ukuthi ungowakusiphi isifunda, wathi ukuba ezwe ukuthi ungowaseKhilikhiya, wathi: “Sengiyakuluzwa kahle udaba nxa sebefikile abakumangaleleyo.” Wayeseyala ukuba agcinwe enqabeni kaHerode.
