IzEnzo 4
1Kwathi besakhuluma ebantwini, abapristi lenduna yethempeli labaSadusi beza phezu kwabo.
2Bedabukile ngokuba befundisa abantu, beshumayela ukuvuka kwabafileyo ngoJesu.
3Basebebabamba, babafaka entolongweni kwaze kwaba ngakusasa, ngoba kwasekuhlwile.
4Kepha abaningi kwabezwayo izwi bakholwa; umumo wamadoda wawungathi izinkulungwane ezinhlanu.
5Kwathi ngangomuso ababusi babo, namalunga, nababhali.
6Kwabuthana u-Anase umpristi omkhulu, noKayafase, noJohane, no-Aleksandru, nabo bonke ababeyizihlobo zompristi omkhulu, babuthana eJerusalema.
7Sebebamisile phakathi, babuza bathi: Lokhu likwenze ngamaphi amandla kumbe ngaliphi ibizo?
8UPetro egcwele uMoya oNgcwele wathi kubo: Lina babusi babantu labadala bakoIsrayeli.
9Uma thina lamuhla sihlolisiswa ngomsebenzi omuhle owenziwe kumuntu ongelamandla, ukuthi usindiswa ngani;
10Makwazeke kini nonke nakubo bonke abantu bakwa-Israyeli, ukuthi ngegama likaJesu Kristu waseNazaretha enambethela esiphambanweni, uNkulunkulu amvusa kwabafileyo, ngaye lo umi lapha phambi kwenu esindile.
11Lo uyitshe eladelwa nina bakhi, eseliyinhloko yegumbi.
12Ayikho insindiso ngomunye, ngokuba alikho elinye igama phansi kwezulu elinikiwe ebantwini, esimelwe ukusindiswa ngalo.
13Kwathi bebona isibindi sikaPetru noJohane, beqonda ukuthi bangabantu abangafundile nabangafundile, bamangala; base bebazi ukuthi babenoJesu.
14Babona umuntu ophilisiweyo emi nabo, ababanga nakukuphika.
15Kodwa sebebalayile ukuthi baphume emphakathini, bacebisana bodwa.
16Besithi: Sizakwenzani kulababantu? Ngokuba isibonakaliso esiphawulekayo senziwe yibo kusobala kubo bonke abakhileyo eJerusalema; futhi ngeke sikuphike.
17Kodwa ukuze kungabe kusaqhubeka phakathi kwabantu, kasibasongele ukuthi bangakhulumi kumuntu ngalelibizo.
18Base bababiza, babayala ukuthi bangakhulumi nakanye, bangafundisi ngegama likaJesu.
19Kepha oPetru noJohane baphendula, bathi kubo: “Yahlulelani nina ukuthi kulungile yini emehlweni kaNkulunkulu ukulalela nina kunoNkulunkulu.
20Ngokuba thina asinakuyeka ukukhuluma ngalokho esikubonileyo nesikuzwileyo.
21Kuthe sebebasongela futhi, babakhulula, bengafumani lutho lokuthi bangabajezisa kanjani ngenxa yabantu, ngokuba bonke babedumisa uNkulunkulu ngalokho okwenzekileyo.
22Ngokuba lowo muntu esenziwe kuye lesi sibonakaliso sokuphulukisa wayeneminyaka engaphezu kwamashumi amane.
23Sebekhululiwe baya kwabakubo, babika konke abapristi abakhulu namalunga ababekushilo kubo.
24Kwathi sebezwile baphakamisa ilizwi labo kuNkulunkulu nganhliziyonye, bathi: Nkosi, wena unguNkulunkulu owenzile izulu lomhlaba, lolwandle, lakho konke okukukho;
25owasho ngomlomo kaDavide inceku yakho ukuthi: ‘Kungani abezizwe baxokozele, nabantu bacabange okuyize, na?
26Amakhosi omhlaba asukuma, nababusi babuthana ndawonye ngokumelene neNkosi noKristu wayo.
27Ngokuba isibili uHerode, noPontiyu Pilatu, kanye nabezizwe, nabantu bakwa-Israyeli babuthana ndawonye ngokumelene neNdodana yakho engcwele uJesu owamgcobayo;
28ukuba ngenze konke esakumisela ngaphambili isandla sakho namasu akho ukuba kwenziwe.
29Manje-ke, Nkosi, bheka ukusongela kwabo, unike izinceku zakho ukuba zikhulume izwi lakho ngesibindi sonke.
30Ngokwelula isandla sakho ukuphulukisa; nokuthi izibonakaliso nezimangaliso zenziwe ngegama leNdodana yakho engcwele uJesu.
31Kwathi sebekhulekile, indawo ababebuthene kuyo yazamazama; basebegcwaliswa bonke ngoMoya oNgcwele, basebekhuluma ilizwi likaNkulunkulu ngesibindi.
32Kepha isixuku sabakholwayo sasinhliziyonye nomphefumulo munye; kodwa bahlanganyela zonke izinto.
33Abaphostoli bafakaza ngamandla amakhulu ngokuvuka kweNkosi uJesu; umusa omkhulu wawuphezu kwabo bonke.
34Kwakungekho phakathi kwabo owayeswela, ngokuba bonke ababenezindawo noma izindlu bathengisa, baletha amanani okuthengisiweyo.
35Bakubeka phansi ezinyaweni zabaphostoli, kwasekwabelwa yilowo nalowo njengokuswela kwakhe.
36LoJosefa owathiwa ngabaphostoli isibongo esithi nguBarnabasi, okuyikuthi ngokuphendulelwa, indodana yenduduzo, umLevi, welizwe leKhupro,
37Enensimu, wathengisa ngayo, waletha imali, wayibeka ngasezinyaweni zabaphostoli.
