1U-Agripha wayesethi kuPawulu: “Uvunyelwe ukuzikhulumela. UPawuli waseselula isandla, waziphendulela;
2Kuyangithokozisa, nkosi Agripha, ngoba lamuhla ngizaziphendulela phambi kwakho ngakho konke engimangalelwa ngakho ngabaJuda;
3ikakhulu ngoba ngikwazi ukuthi unolwazi kuwo wonke amasiko lezingxabano zabaJuda; ngakho ngiyakuncenga ukuthi ungizwe ngesineke.
4Indlela yami yokuphila kwasebusheni bami ekuqaleni eyayiphakathi kwesizwe sakithi eJerusalema ayazi bonke abaJuda;
5ababengazi kwasekuqaleni, uma befuna ukufakaza, ukuthi ngokwehlelo eliqine kakhulu lenkonzo yethu ngahamba ngingumFarisi.
6Kalokhu ngimi futhi ngigwetshiwe ngenxa yethemba lesithembiso uNkulunkulu asinika okhokho bethu.
7Ezithemba ukufika kuso izizwe eziyishumi nambili zakithi, zikhonza uNkulunkulu masinyane imini nobusuku; Ngenxa yalelithemba, nkosi Agripha, ngimangalelwa ngabaJuda.
8Kungani kucatshangwa ukuthi yinto engakholeki kini, ukuthi uNkulunkulu uvusa abafileyo na?
9Mina-ke ngangicabanga ngokwami ukuthi ngifanele ukwenza izinto ezinengi eziphambene lebizo likaJesu waseNazaretha.
10Lokho nami ngakwenza eJerusalema; abaningi kwabangcwele ngabavalela etilongweni, ngithole amandla kubapristi abakhulu; futhi lapho bebulawa, ngazwakalisa izwi lami ngokumelene nabo.
11Nasemasinagogeni onke ngabajezisa kaningi, ngibacindezela ukuba bahlambalaze; futhi njengoba ngibathukuthelele kakhulu, ngabazingela kwaze kwaba semizini yabezizwe.
12Okwathi lapho ngiya eDamaseku nginegunya nokuthunywa kubapristi abakhulu,
13Emini enkulu, nkosi, ngisendleleni ngabona ukukhanya okuvela ezulwini okungaphezu kokukhanya kwelanga, kungikhanyisa nxazonke zami nababehamba nami.
14Kuthe sesiwile phansi sonke emhlabathini, ngezwa izwi likhuluma kimi ngolimi lwesiHeberu, lithi: ‘Sawulu, Sawulu, ungizingelelani na? kulukhuni kuwe ukukhahlela izinkandi.
15Ngasengisithi: Ungubani, Nkosi? Wasesithi: Mina nginguJesu omzingelayo.
16Kepha sukuma, ume ngezinyawo zakho, ngokuba ngibonakale kuwe ngalokho ukuba ngikwenze ube yisikhonzi nofakazi walezi zinto ozibonileyo nowalezo zinto engizakuzibonakalisa kuwe ngazo;
17ngikukhulula kubantu nakwabezizwe, engikuthuma kubo manje.
18Ukuze uvule amehlo abo, basuke ebumnyameni, baye ekukhanyeni, basuke emandleni kaSathane, baye kuNkulunkulu, ukuze bamukele ukuthethelelwa kwezono, nefa phakathi kwabangcwelisiweyo ngokukholwa kimi.
19Ngakho-ke, nkosi Agripha, angibanga ngongalaleliyo umbono wasezulwini;
20kodwa ngabika kuqala kwabaseDamaseku, naseJerusalema, nakuzo zonke izindawo zaseJudiya, nakwabezizwe, ukuba baphenduke, baphendukele kuNkulunkulu, benze imisebenzi efanele ukuphenduka.
21Ngenxa yalokhu abaJuda bangibamba ethempelini, bafuna ukungibulala.
22Ngakho-ke sengizuze usizo lukaNkulunkulu, ngimi kuze kube yilolu suku, ngifakaza kwabancane nabakhulu, ngingakhulumi okunye ngaphandle kwalokho abakushilo abaprofethi noMose ukuthi kuyakwenzeka;
23ukuze uKristu ahlupheke, abe ngowokuqala ukuvuka kwabafileyo, amemezele ukukhanya kubantu nakwabezizwe.
24Esazikhulumela lokho, uFestu wathi ngezwi elikhulu: “Uyahlanya, Pawulu; ukufunda okuningi kuyakuhlanyisa.
25Kodwa wathi: Kangihlanyi, Festu odumileyo; kodwa ngikhulume amazwi eqiniso nawokuhluzeka kwengqondo.
26Ngokuba inkosi iyazi ngalezizinto, engikhuluma kuyo ngokukhululeka; ngoba le nto ayenziwanga engosini.
27Nkosi Agripha, uyakholwa ngabaprofethi na? Ngiyazi ukuthi uyakholwa.
28UAgripha wasesithi kuPawuli: Cishe usufuna ukungenza ngibe ngumKristu.
29UPawuli wasesithi: Ngithanda kuNkulunkulu ukuthi, kungabi nguwe wedwa, kodwa labo bonke abangizwayo lamuhla, kokubili ngokuseduze, nangokuphelele, babe njengami, ngaphandle kwalezizibopho.
30Eseshilo lokho, yasukuma inkosi, nombusi, noBernike, nababehlezi nabo;
31Sebesukile bakhuluma bodwa, bathi: “Lo akenzi lutho olufanele ukufa nokuboshwa.
32U-Agripha wayesethi kuFestu: “Lo ngabe ukhululiwe, uba ubengalidluliselanga kuKesari.
