IzEnzo 28
1Sebephunyukile, bazi ukuthi isiqhingi sithiwa iMelitha.
2Amaqaba asenzela umusa omkhulu, ngokuba aphemba umlilo, asamukela sonke ngenxa yemvula eyayisina nangenxa yamakhaza.
3UPawuli etheza inyanda lezinkuni, walibeka emlilweni, kwaphuma inyoka ngenxa yokushisa, yanamathela esandleni sakhe.
4Abezizwe sebebona isilo esinesihlungu silenga esandleni sakhe, bakhuluma bodwa, bathi: “Ngokuqinisekile lo muntu ungumbulali, okuthi noma esindile olwandle ukuphindisela akuvumi ukuba aphile.
5Wasihluthunela isilo emlilweni, akezwa lutho.
6Kodwa babelindele ukuthi uzavuvuka kumbe awe phansi masinyane afe.
7Kulezo zindawo kwakukhona amasimu endoda enkulu yesiqhingi, ogama layo linguPhubhiliyu; owasamukela, wasamukela kahle izinsuku ezintathu.
8Kwasekusithi uyise kaPhubhiliyu wayelele ebanjwe ngumkhuhlane lomkhuhlane wegazi, uPawuli wangena kuye, wakhuleka, wabeka izandla phezu kwakhe, wamsilisa.
9Kwathi lokho sekwenzekile, beza nabanye abasesiqhingini abanezifo, baphulukiswa;
10abasidumisile futhi ngokutusa okuningi; kwathi sesihamba, basithwalisa esikudingayo.
11Emva kwezinyanga ezintathu samuka ngomkhumbi wase-Aleksandriya, owawudlulise ubusika esiqhingini, uphawu lwawo lungoKastore noPoluksi.
12Safika eSirakhuse, sahlala khona izinsuku ezintathu.
13Sasuka lapho sazungeza, safika eRegiyu; emva kosuku olulodwa kwavunguza umoya waseningizimu, ngangomuso safika ePhutheyoli;
14lapho sathola abazalwane, sancengwa ukuthi sihlale labo insuku eziyisikhombisa; ngokunjalo saya eRoma.
15Kuthe besuka lapho, abazalwane sebezwile ngathi, beza ukusihlangabeza baze bafika esikhungweni sika-Aphiyi naseTresi Thaberne, uPawulu ebabona wabonga uNkulunkulu, wema isibindi.
16Kwathi sesifikile eRoma, induna yekhulu yanikela izibotshwa enduneni yabalindi, kodwa uPawuli wavunyelwa ukuthi ahlale yedwa lebutho elimgadileyo.
17Kwathi emva kwezinsuku ezintathu uPawuli wabizela ndawonye izikhulu zabaJuda; nokho nganikelwa eJerusalema ngiyisiboshwa ezandleni zamaRoma.
18Kwathi sebengihlolile, bathanda ukungikhulula, ngoba kwakungekho cala kimi lokufa.
19Kepha abaJuda sebekuphikisa, ngacindezelwa ukuba ngilidlulisele kuKesari; kungeyisikho ukuthi bengifanele ukusola isizwe sakithi.
20Ngakho ngenxa yalokhu nginibizele ukulibona, ngikhulume lani, ngoba ngenxa yethemba likaIsrayeli ngibotshiwe ngamaketane.
21Base bethi kuye: “Thina asamukelanga ncwadi ngawe evela eJudiya, futhi akufikanga namunye wabazalwane owabika noma wakhuluma utho olubi ngawe.
22Kepha sithanda ukuzwa ngawe ukuthi yini oyicabangayo, ngokuba ngaleli hlelo siyazi ukuthi liyaphikiswa ezindaweni zonke.
23Sebemmisele usuku, kweza kuye abaningi endlini yakhe yezihambi; wabachasisela, wafakaza ngombuso kaNkulunkulu, ebancenga ngoJesu, ethatha emthethweni kaMozisi lakubaprofethi, kusukela ekuseni kwaze kwahlwa.
24Abanye bakholwa yilokho okwakhulunywayo, kepha abanye kabakholwa.
25Kwathi bengavumelananga phakathi kwabo, basuka uPawuli esekhulume ilizwi linye lokuthi: Ukhulume kuhle uMoya oNgcwele ngoIsaya umprofethi kokhokho bethu.
26Esithi: Hamba uye kulababantu uthi: Ukuzwa lizakuzwa, kodwa kaliyikuqedisisa; nokubona nizakubona, ningabonisi;
27Ngokuba inhliziyo yalaba bantu seyaba lukhuni, bezwa ngezindlebe zabo, bacimezile namehlo abo; funa babone ngamehlo, bezwe ngezindlebe, baqonde ngenhliziyo, baphenduke, ngibaphilise.
28Ngakho-ke makwazeke kini ukuthi usindiso lukaNkulunkulu luthunyelwa kwabezizwe, futhi bayakuzwa.
29Eseshilo lokho, abaJuda bamuka, benezimpikiswano ezinkulu phakathi kwabo.
30UPawuli wahlala iminyaka emibili egcweleyo endlini yakhe ayeyiqatshile, wemukela bonke ababeza kuye.
31Eshumayela umbuso kaNkulunkulu, efundisa izinto eziphathelene neNkosi uJesu Kristu ngesibindi esikhulu, engavinjelwa muntu.
