1UPawuli wawugqolozela umphakathi, wathi: “Madoda, bazalwane, mina ngihambile phambi kukaNkulunkulu nginonembeza wonke omuhle kuze kube namuhla.
2Umpristi omkhulu u-Ananiya wayala ababemi eduze kwakhe ukuba bamshaye emlonyeni.
3UPawuli wasesithi kuye: UNkulunkulu uzakutshaya wena ludonga olucakiweyo;
4Lababemi khona bathi: Uthuka umpristi omkhulu kaNkulunkulu yini?
5UPawuli wasesithi: Bengingazi, bazalwane, ukuthi ungumpristi omkhulu;
6Kodwa uPawuli esekwazi ukuthi enye ingxenye ingabaSadusi lelinye ingabaFarisi, wamemeza emphakathini wathi: Madoda, bazalwane, mina ngingumFarisi, indodana yomFarisi; umbuzo.
7Eseshilo lokho, kwavela ukungezwani phakathi kwabaFarisi nabaSadusi, uquqaba lwahlukana phakathi.
8Ngokuba abaSadusi bathi akukho ukuvuka kwabafileyo, nangelosi, namoya, kepha abaFarisi bakuvuma kokubili.
9Kwase kuba khona ukukhala okukhulu, ababhali besigaba sabaFarisi basukuma baphikisana, besithi: Kasitholi okubi kulumuntu;
10Kwathi sekuqubuka ukuphikisana okukhulu, induna yenkulungwane yesaba ukuthi uPawuli ungahle adwetshulwe yibo, yalaya amabutho ukuthi ehle, amthathe phakathi kwabo, amngenise enqabeni.
11Ngobusuku obulandelayo iNkosi yema ngakuye, yathi: “Yima isibindi, uPawulu;
12Kwathi sekusile, abaJuda benza icebo, bazibopha ngesiqalekiso, bathi abayikudla, bangaphuzi, bengakambulali uPawulu.
13Babengaphezu kwamashumi amane abenze lelo tulo.
14Bona-ke beza kubapristi abakhulu labadala bathi: Sizibophe ngesiqalekiso, ukuthi kasiyikudla lutho singakambulali uPawuli.
15Ngakho-ke nina kanye nomphakathi bonisani induna yenkulungwane ukuba imehlisele kini kusasa ngokungathi nifuna ukuhlolisisa kahle okumayelana naye;
16Kwathi indodana kadadewabo kaPawuli isizwile ngokuqamekela kwabo, yasuka yangena enkambeni yamabutho, yabikela uPawuli.
17UPawuli wasebizela kuye enye induna yekhulu, wathi: Yisa lelijaha enduneni yenkulungwane, ngoba lilendaba ethile kuyo.
18Yayibamba-ke, yayisa enduneni enkulu, yathi: “UPawuli isiboshwa ungibizile, wangincenga ukuba ngilethe leli nsizwa kuwe, linento ezokhuluma kuwe.
19Induna yenkulungwane yasibamba isandla salo, yahamba laye ngasese, yasibuza yathi: Kuyini ozangitshela khona?
20Yathi: “AbaJuda bavumelene ukukucela ukuba wehlisele uPawuli emphakathini kusasa, kungathi bafuna ukuhlolisisa kahle okunye ngaye.
21Kodwa ungabayekeli, ngoba kubo bamqamekele amadoda angaphezu kwamatshumi amane, azibophe ngesifungo ukuthi kabayikudla lokunatha aze ambulale; kalokhu aselungile, akhangele. ngesithembiso esivela kuwe.
22Khona induna yenkulungwane yayisiyiyeke insizwa, yayiyala ngokuthi: “Bheka, ungatsheli muntu ukuthi ungibikele lokho.
23Yasibizela kuye izinduna zekhulu ezimbili, yathi: “Lungisani amasosha angamakhulu amabili ukuba aye eKesariya, nabamahhashi abangamashumi ayisikhombisa, nababikhonto abangamakhulu amabili, ngehora lesithathu lobusuku;
24nilungisele nezilwane, ukuze bamkhwelise uPawulu, bamyise kuFeliksi umbusi ephephile.
25Wasebhala incwadi kanje:
26UKlawudiyu Lisiya kuMbusi odumileyo uFeliksi uyakhonza.
27Lendoda yayibanjwe ngabaJuda, yayizakubulawa yiwo, ngase ngifika nebutho, ngayophula, ngimazi ukuthi ingumRoma.
28Kuthe sengifuna ukwazi icala abayimangalela ngalo, ngamkhiphela emphakathini wabo;
29engabona ukuthi imangalelwe ngemibuzo yomthetho wawo, kodwa ingamangalelwa ngalutho olufanele ukufa nokuboshwa.
30Kwathi sengitsheliwe ukuthi abaJuda babeqamekele lowo muntu, ngathumela kuwe masinyane, ngase ngibayala abammangalelayo ukuba bakhulume phambi kwakho ngalokho abanawo ngakuyo. Ukuvalelisa.
31Khona amasosha amthatha uPawulu njengokulaywa kwawo, amyisa e-Antipatri ebusuku.
32Ngangomuso bashiya abamahhashi ukuba bahambe naye, babuyela enqabeni;
33okwathi sebefikile eKesariya, banika umbusi incwadi, bethula loPawuli phambi kwakhe.
34Kwathi umbusi eseyifundile incwadi, wabuza ukuthi ungowasiphi isifunda; Kwathi esezwile ukuthi ungowaseKhilikhiya;
35Wathi ngizakuzwa, nxa abamangaleli bakho sebefikile. Wayala ukuba agcinwe endlini yokwahlulela kaHerode.
