Izenzo 4 XHO75

UPetros noYohane phambi kwentlanganiso yamatyala

1 Bakubon' ukuba bayathetha kubo abantu, ababingeleli, nomphathi wetempile, nabaSadusi, bathi gaga phezu kwabo,

2 bebindekile ngenxa yokuba befundisa abantu, bekuxela ukuvuka kubo abafileyo ngoku kukaYesu ukuvuka.

3 Babesa izandla, babafaka entolongweni, kwada kwaba lingomso; kuba bekuse kuhlwile.

4 Ke kaloku into eninzi yâbo babelivile ilizwi, yakholwa; lathi inani lamadoda langa limawaka mahlanu.

5 Kwathi ke ngengomso, kwahlanganiselana eYerusalem abaphathi babo, namadoda amakhulu, nababhali,

6 noAnas umbingeleli omkhulu, noKayafa, noYohane, noAlesandire, nabo bonke abomlibo wombingeleli omkhulu.

7 Bathe bakuba bebamise phakathi, bababuza besithi, Le nto nina niyenze ngamandla mani na, nangagama lini na?

8 Wandula uPetros, ezele nguMoya oyiNgcwele, wathi kubo, Nina baphathi babantu, nani madoda makhulu akwaSirayeli,

9 ukuba thina namhlanje sincinwa ngomsebenzi wokumsiza umntu ongumlwelwe, ukuba uthiweni na ukusindiswa:

10 makwazeke kuni nonke, nakubo bonke abantu bakwaSirayeli, ukuba kusegameni likaYesu Kristu waseNazarete, enambethelelayo emnqamlezweni nina, athe uThixo wamvusa kwabafileyo; kungaye lowo, ukuba lo mntu eme apha phambi kwenu ephilile.

11 Nguye lo ilitye elenziwa into engento nini bakhi, elisuke laba yintloko yembombo.

12 Kananjalo usindiso alukho kuwumbi; kuba akukho gama limbi phantsi kwezulu, linikiweyo phakathi kwabantu, esimele ukusindiswa ngalo.

13 Ke kaloku, bakùbona ukungafihlisikuthetha koPetros noYohane, beqiqa nokuba ngabantu abangenamfundo, abangenakwazi, bamangaliswa; babaqonda ukuba babenaye uYesu.

14 Bakumbona ke umntu emi nabo, yena lowo uphilisiweyo, ababanga nandawo yakuphika.

15 Bakuba bethe, mabaphume entlanganisweni yamatyala, bacebisana bodwa, besithi,

16 Siya kubathini na aba bantu? Kuba okunene, ukuba kuhlé ngabo umqondiso owazekayo, oyinto ebonakalayo kubo bonke abemi eYerusalem, nathi asinakuyikhanyela loo nto.

17 Ukuze ke loo nto ingahlakazeki ngakumbi ebantwini, masise sibasongela ngelokuba bangabi sathetha mntwini ngeli gama.

18 Bebabizile, babathethela ngelithi, mabangabi sakhankanya nakanye, bangafundisi nokufundisa ngegama likaYesu.

19 Ke kaloku uPetros noYohane baphendula, bathi kubo, Yahlulani nina, ukuba bubulungisa na emehlweni kaThixo ukuva nina, kunokuva uThixo;

20 kuba singenako thina ukuthi singazithethi izinto esazibonayo, esazivayo.

21 Bathe ke bona, beqokele ngokubasongela, babandulula; bengafumani sizathu bangababetha ngaso, ngenxa yabantu; ngokuba bonke babemzukisa uThixo ngoko kwakuhlile.

22 Kuba wayedlule emashumini amané eminyaka umntu lowo, wawuhle kuye lo mqondiso wokuphiliswa.

UPetros noYohane babuyela kwizihlobo zabo

23 Ke kaloku, bakundululwa, baya kwababo, babika oko zingako izinto abazithetháyo kubo ababingeleli abakhulu namadoda amakhulu.

24 Bona ke, bekuvile oko, baphakamisa izwi kuThixo ngamxhelo mnye, bathi, Mnini-ntozonke, wena unguThixo owalenzayo izulu nomhlaba nolwandle, neento zonke ezikwezo nto;

25 owathi ngomlomo kaDavide umkhonzi wakho,Zazibhavumelani na iintlanga,Zaza izizwe zacamanga izinto ezingento?

26 Bazimisa ookumkani behlabathi,Nabaphathi bahlanganisana ndawonyeNgokuyichasa iNkosi, naye uKristu* wayo.(INdum. 2:1,2)

27 Kuba, inyaniso, ngaye uMkhonzi wakho oyingcwele onguYesu, owamthambisayo, kwahlanganisana uHerode, kwanoPontiyo Pilato, ndawonye neentlanga nabantu bakwaSirayeli,

28 ukuba benze izinto zonke ezamiswayo ngenxa engaphambili sisandla sakho nalicebo lakho, ukuba zibekho.

29 Okwangoku ke, Nkosi, zikhangele izisongelo zabo, ubanike abakhonzi bakho ukuba balithethe ilizwi lakho ngako konke ukungafihlisi,

30 ekusoluleni isandla sakho ukuba uphilise, nokuba kubekho imiqondiso nezimanga ngegama loMkhonzi wakho oyingcwele, uYesu.

31 Bakubon' ukuba bakhungile, yazanyazanyiswa indawo ababehlanganisene kuyo, bazaliswa bonke nguMoya oyiNgcwele, balithetha ilizwi likaThixo ngokungafihlisiyo.

Ingxowa eyeyobudlelane

32 Ke kaloku inkitha yababekholiwe yayintliziyo-nye, imphefumlo mnye; kwaye kungekho namnye ubesithi kukho nto iyeyakhe empahleni yakhe; zonke izinto zaye zizezobudlelane kubo.

33 Baye abapostile* bekungqinela ngamandla amakhulu ukuvuka kweNkosi uYesu; kwaye kukho ukubabalwa okukhulu kubo bonke.

34 Kuba kwakungekho namnye phakathi kwabo, wayeswele; kuba bonke ababenemihlaba, nokuba zizindlu, babesithi bathengise ngazo, bawazise amaxabiso ezo zinto kuthengisiweyo ngazo,

35 bawabeke ezinyaweni zabapostile; waye ke elowo esabelwa njengoko ebesukuba eswele ngako.

36 Ke kaloku uYose, owathiywa ngabapostile elinye igama lokuba nguBharnabhas (elithi, lakuthethwa ngentetho evakalayo, ngumfo wovuselelo), umLevi waseSipro ngokuzalwa,

37 wathi enomhlaba wathengisa ngawo, wayizisa imali, wayibeka ezinyaweni zabapostile.
