17 Ukuba ngoko uThixo wabapha isipho esingangeso wasiphayo nathi thina sakholwayo eNkosini uYesu Kristu, mna ke bendingubani na, ukuba ndide ndibe nako ukumthintela uThixo?
18 Bakuziva ke ezo zinto, bathi cwaka, bamzukisa uThixo, besithi, Kanti na ke neentlanga ezi uThixo uziphe ukuguqukela ebomini.
19 Abaya ke ngoko, bàbeziintsali ngembandezelo eyabakho ngoStefano, batyhutyha ilizwe, bada beza kwelaseFenike, naseSipro, nakwa-Antiyokwe, bengalithethi bantwini bambi, belithetha kumaYuda odwa.
20 Yaye ke inxenye kubo ingamadoda aseSipro naseKirene; eyathi yona yakufika kwa-Antiyokwe, yathetha kwawesiGrike amaYuda, ishumayela iindaba ezilungileyo zeNkosi uYesu.
21 Saye ke isandla seNkosi sinawo, kanjalo kwakholwa inani elikhulu, labuyela eNkosini.
22 Lwavakala ke udaba lwabo ezindlebeni zebandla laseYerusalem; bakhupha uBharnabhas, ukuba ahambe, ade aye kufika kwa-Antiyokwe;
23 othe akufika, walubona ubabalo lukaThixo, wavuya, wabavuselela bonke, ukuba bathi ngengqibo yentliziyo bahlale bethe nca eNkosini.
