1Kwathi sesimukile kubo, sasuka ngomkhumbi, saqonda ngqo eKhose, ngangomuso eRodu, sasuka lapho safika ePhathara;
2Sathola umkhumbi owelela eFenike, sangena kuwo, samuka.
3Kwathi sesiyibonile iKhupro, sayishiya ngakwesokhohlo, sangena ngomkhumbi eSiriya, sehla eTire, ngokuba umkhumbi wawuzakwethula khona umthwalo wawo.
4Safumana abafundi, sahlala khona izinsuku eziyisikhombisa; bona bathi kuPawulu ngoMoya angenyukeli eJerusalema.
5Kwathi sesiqedile lezo zinsuku, saphuma sahamba; bonke basiphelekezela kanye nawomkabo nabantwana, kwaze kwaba ngaphandle komuzi; saguqa ogwini, sakhuleka.
6Kwathi sesivalelisane, sangena emkhunjini; babuyela ekhaya futhi.
7Sathi sesiqedile uhambo lwethu sisuka eTire, safika ePetolemayi, sabingelela abazalwane, sahlala nabo usuku lwaba lunye.
8Ngangomuso sasuka, safika eKesariya, sangena endlini kaFiliphu umvangeli, owayengomunye wabayisikhombisa; wahlala laye.
9yena lowo wayenamadodakazi amane, izintombi eziprofetha.
10Sathi sihlezi khona izinsuku eziningi, kwehla eJudiya umprofethi ogama lakhe lingu-Agabu.
11Kwathi esefikile kithi, wathatha ibhande likaPawuli, wazibopha izandla lenyawo, wathi: Utsho njalo uMoya oNgcwele, ngokunjalo abaJuda eJerusalema bazabopha indoda ephethe lelibhanti, njalo bazamnikela ejele. izandla zabezizwe.
12Kwathi sesikuzwile lokho, samncenga thina kanye labakuleyondawo ukuthi angenyukeli eJerusalema.
13UPawuli wasephendula wathi: Litshoni ukukhala lichoboza inhliziyo yami? ngoba mina angilungele ukubotshwa kuphela, kodwa lokufa eJerusalema ngenxa yebizo leNkosi uJesu.
14Kwathi engavumi ukuvunyiswa, sathula sathi: Mayenziwe intando yeNkosi.
15Emva kwalezo zinsuku sathatha impahla yethu, senyukela eJerusalema.
16Kwasekuhamba lathi abanye babafundi baseKesariya, basisa kuMnasoni waseKhupro, obengumfundi omdala, ebesizangenisa kuye.
17Kwathi sesifikile eJerusalema, abazalwane basemukela ngokuthokoza.
18Ngangomuso uPawulu wangena nathi kuJakobe; labadala bonke babekhona.
19Wababingelela, wabalandisa ngazo zonke izinto uNkulunkulu abezenzile phakathi kwabezizwe ngenkonzo yakhe.
20Sebezwile bayidumisa iNkosi, bathi kuye: “Uyabona, mfowethu, ukuthi zingaki izigidi zabakholwayo abaJuda; futhi bonke bashisekela umthetho;
21Sebebikelwe ngawe ukuthi ufundisa bonke abaJuda abaphakathi kwabezizwe ukuhlubuka kuMose, uthi bangasoki abantwana babo, bangahambi ngamasiko.
22Ngakho kuyini? ixuku limele ukubuthana, ngoba lizakuzwa ukuthi ufikile.
23Ngakho yenza lokhu esikusho kuwe: Sinamadoda amane anesithembiso phezu kwawo;
24Bathathe, uzihlambulule kanye nabo, ube necala kubo, ukuze baphuce amakhanda abo, bazi bonke ukuthi akulutho lokho abakubikelwe ngawe; kodwa ukuthi lawe uhamba ngokufaneleyo njalo ugcina umlayo.
25Mayelana nabezizwe abakholwayo silobile, saphetha ngokuthi bangagcini okunje, kuphela ukuba bazigcine entweni ehlatshelwe izithombe, nasegazini, nasekokuklinyiweyo, nasebufebeni.
26UPawuli wasewathatha amadoda, kusisa ezihlambulule kanye lawo, wangena ethempelini, ukutshengisa ukuphela kwensuku zokuhlanjululwa, kuze kunikelelwe umnikelo wawo wonke.
27Kwathi sezizaphela lezonsuku eziyisikhombisa, abaJuda beAsiya, bembona ethempelini, badunga ixuku lonke, bambamba;
28ememeza esithi: Madoda akwaIsrayeli, sizani! Lona nguye umuntu ofundisa bonke ezindaweni zonke okuphambene nabantu, nomthetho, nalendawo, futhi engenisa namaGreki ethempelini, wayingcolisa le ndawo engcwele.
29(Ngokuba babebone ngaphambili uTrofimu wase-Efesu enaye emzini, ababecabanga ukuthi uPawulu umngenise ethempelini.)
30Umuzi wonke wanyakaza, abantu bagijima kanyekanye, bambamba uPawulu, bamdonsela ngaphandle kwethempeli, kwavalwa masinyane iminyango.
31Kwathi besafuna ukumbulala, kwafika umbiko enduneni yenkulungwane ukuthi lonke iJerusalema liyayaluza.
32yona yahle yathatha amasosha nezinduna zekhulu, yagijimela kubo;
33Induna yenkulungwane yayisisondela, yambamba, yayala ukuba aboshwe ngamaketanga amabili; wabuza ukuthi ungubani nokuthi wenzeni.
34Abanye phakathi kwesixuku bamemeza okunye, abanye okunye, kepha engakwazi ukuqiniseka ngenxa yesiyaluyalu, wayala ukuba ayiswe ekamu.
35Esefikile ezitebhisini, wathwalwa ngamasosha ngenxa yobudlova babantu.
36Ngoba ixuku labantu lalilandela limemeza lisithi: Msuse!
37Kwathi uPawuli esezangeniswa enkambeni yamabutho, wathi enduneni yenkulungwane: Ngingakhuluma lawe yini? Yathi: “Uyakwazi ukukhuluma isiGreki na?
38Awuyena lowo mGibhithe owasusa isiyaluyalu ngaphambi kwalezi zinsuku, waholela ehlane amadoda ayizinkulungwane ezine angababulali na?
39Kodwa uPawuli wathi: Mina ngiyindoda engumJuda waseTarsu yeKhilikhiya, isakhamuzi somuzi ongelutho;
40Kwathi esemnike imvume, uPawulu wema ezikhwelweni, waqhweba abantu ngesandla. Kwathi sekuthuleke kakhulu, wakhuluma kubo ngolimi lwesiHeberu, wathi:
