Imisebenzi 1
1 Ukulandisa kokuqala ngakwenza, Teyofilu, ngakho konke uJesu aqala kokubili ukukwenza lokukufundisa,
Apwanga a Teopili, nshitabhu shangu sha ntai najandishe indu yowe ibhatendile a Yeshu na jiganya kuumila kundandubho ja liengo lyabho,
2 kwaze kwaba lusuku akhutshulwa ngalo, esebalayile ngoMoya oNgcwele abaphostoli ayebakhethile;
mpaka lyene lyubha libhatolilwe kwenda kunani kunnungu lila. Bhakanabhe tolwa kwenda kunnungu bhashinkwaalajiyanga mitume bhubhaagwilenje bhala kwa mashili gaka Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo.
3 wazibonakalisa futhi kubo ephilile emva kokuhlupheka kwakhe ngobufakazi obunengi obuqinisekileyo, wabonwa yibo okwensuku ezingamatshumi amane, ekhuluma ngezinto ezimayelana lombuso kaNkulunkulu.
Kwa mobha makumi nsheshe bhakaweje, bhashinkwilangula papagwinji kubhaajiganywa bhabho. Bhatendaga kwaabhonanga a Yeshu na bhalabho bhatendaga kungulushila ga Ukulungwa gwa a Nnungu.
4 Kwathi ehlangene labo, wabalaya ukuthi bangasuki eJerusalema, kodwa balindele isithembiso sikaBaba, elasizwa ngami;
A Yeshu bhakaimaneje na bhaajiganywa bhabho gubhaamulishenje nnei, “Nnajabhulangane pa Yelushalemu, ikabhe nnindililanje miadi ja Atati, gunammalanjilenje gala.
5 ngoba ngeqiniso uJohane wabhabhathiza ngamanzi, kodwa lina lizabhabhathizwa ngoMoya oNgcwele kungakadluli insuku ezinengi.
A Yowana pubhabhatishe kwa mashi, ikabheje mmanganya shimmatishwanje kwa Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo mobha gashoko gakwiyago.”
6 Kwathi sebebuthene bambuza bathi: Nkosi, uzabuyisela umbuso kuIsrayeli kulesisikhathi yini?
Bhai, mitume bhakaimananjeje pamo na a Yeshu gubhaabhushiyenje, “Bhuli Mmakulungwa, nnaino punkupinga kwaabhujishiyanga upalume bha Ishilaeli?”
7 Wasesithi kubo: Kakusikho okwenu ukwazi izikhathi kumbe imizuzu ayimisileyo uBaba ngawakhe amandla;
Ikabheje a Yeshu gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Mobha na miongwe ja genego mugali mmakono ga Atati, na wala nngabha liengo lyenunji kumumanya kuti shiibhe shakani.
8 kodwa lizakwemukela amandla, esefikile phezu kwenu uMoya oNgcwele; njalo libe ngabafakazi bami eJerusalema kanye layo yonke iJudiya leSamariya, njalo kuze kube semkhawulweni womhlaba.
Ikabheje Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo pashantulushilanjepo shimpatanje mashili na shimmanganje mmakong'ondela bhangu nshilambo sha Yelushalemu na ku Yudea na ku Shamalia, mpaka kumpelo gwa shilambolyo.”
9 Kwathi esetshilo lezizinto, wakhutshulwa bekhangele, leyezi lamsusa emehlweni abo.
Bhakabheleketeje genego, a Yeshu gubhatolilwe kwenda kunnungu akuno bhalikwaalolesheyanga, liunde likwaunishilaga bhangaabhonanga kabhili.
10 Bathi besajolozele ezulwini, esenyuka, njalo khangela, amadoda amabili ema labo elezembatho ezimhlophe,
Bhalinginji nkulolesheya kunani, bhalabho bhalikwijendela, shangupe bhandunji bhabhili bhawetenje nngubho yanawe gubhajiminngene patome jabhonji,
11 njalo athi: Madoda maGalili, limeleni lijolozele ezulwini? UJesu lo, osuswe kini wenyukiselwa ezulwini, uzabuya ngokunjalo ngendlela elimbone esiya ngayo ezulwini.
gubhashitenje, “Mmnganya mmandunji mma ku Galilaya, pakuti nshijimangana akuno nnilolanga kunani? A Yeshu bhatolilwe kungwenunji kwenda kunnungu, shibhajiye kabhili nneyo peyo malinga shimwabhweninji bhalikwenda kunnungu.”
12 Basebebuyela eJerusalema bevela entabeni ethiwa ngeyoMhlwathi, eseduze leJerusalema, ummango wohambo lwesabatha.
Kungai bhantenga gubhabhujilenje ku Yelushalemu kukopoka kushitumbi shishemwa Shitumbi sha Misheituni, kutalika kwakwe mbuti mwanja gwa kilomita jimo.
13 Kwathi sebengenile, benyukela endlini ephezulu, lapho ababehlala khona, uPetro loJakobe loJohane loAndreya, uFiliphu loTomasi, uBartolomewu loMathewu, uJakobe kaAlfewu loSimoni umZelothi, loJudasi kaJakobe.
Bhakaikanganeje kunnjini gubhakwelilenje ku golopa kukati jibhaimanangaga, pubhalinginji a Petili na a Yowana na a Yakobho na a Ndeleya na a Pilipi na a Tomashi na a Bhatolomeyo na a Matei na a Yakobho bhanabhabho a Alupayo na a Shimoni Shelote na a Yuda bhanabhabho a Yakobho.
14 Bonke laba baphikelela bengqondonye emkhulekweni lekuncengeni, kanye labesifazana loMariya unina kaJesu, njalo labafowabo.
Bhowe bhatendaga imananga kwa ntima gumo mobha gowe nkujuga Nnungu, bhashinkupagwanga bhanabhakongwe na a Malia anyinabhabho a Yeshu na ashaapwabho.
15 Kwathi ngalezonsuku uPetro wasukuma phakathi kwabafundi, kwakulexuku labantu ndawonye elalingaba likhulu lamatshumi amabili, wathi:
Lyubha limo a Petili bhashinkujima pa lugwinjili lwa bhaakulupalilanga bha a Yeshu, pubhalinginji bhandunji ishila makumi kumi na gabhili,
16 Madoda bazalwane, kwakumele ukuthi lumbhalo ugcwaliswe, uMoya oyiNgcwele awukhuluma ngaphambili ngomlomo kaDavida ngoJudasi, owayengumkhokheli walabo abambambayo uJesu,
gubhashite, “Ashaapwanga, ishinkupinjikwa gene Majandiko ga Ukonjelo gamalile, gabhelekete Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo, kwa kang'wa ja a Daudi, ashinkulondola ga a Yuda bhaalongolelenje bhandu kukwaakamula a Yeshu.
17 ngoba wayebalwe kanye lathi, njalo wemukela isabelo salinkonzo.
Pabha a Yuda bhashinkuagulwa kubha bhantenga pamo na uwe, kwa nneyo pubhaliji munkumbi gwetu.”
18 Lo-ke wathenga isiqinti ngomvuzo wobubi, wawa ngekhanda waqhekezeka phakathi, lemibilini yakhe yonke yachitheka.
Nng'itu gwaumilwe kwa mmbiya yapatikene kwa shitendi shabho shangali sha mmbone, gubhagwile pai, nitumbuka lipitiu na matumbo nikushuka pala.
19 Njalo kwaziwa yibo bonke abakhileyo eJerusalema, saze sabizwa lesosiqinti ngolimi lwakibo ngokuthi iAkeldama, okuyikuthi iSiqinti segazi.
Bhandu bhowe pa Yelushalemu gubhapilikenenje ga nshibha gwa a Yuda, kwa nneyo gwene nng'itu gula kwa luga jabhonji pubhashemilenje Akelidama, malombolelo gakwe, “Nng'itu gwa Minyai.”
20 Ngoba kulotshiwe egwalweni lweziHlabelelo ukuthi: Umuzi wakhe kawube lunxiwa, njalo kungabi khona ohlala kuwo; lokuthi: Omunye kathathe ubuphathi bakhe.
“Pabha, ishijandikwa nshitabhu sha Shabhuli, ‘Jaliji ndamo jabho jiyushe liame, mundu jojowe anatame penepo.’ Na kabhili ishijandikwa. ‘Mundu juna atole shitengu shabho sha liengo.’
21 Ngakho kumele ukuthi kulawomadoda ayehamba lathi kuso sonke isikhathi lapho iNkosi uJesu yayingena njalo iphuma phakathi kwethu,
Bhai, mundu jumo munkumbi gwa bhalonganangaga na uwe mobha gowe gutwaowaga na a Yeshu tunng'agule ailunde nnikundi lyetu.
22 kusukela ebhabhathizweni lukaJohane, kwaze kwaba lusuku akhutshulwa ngalo kithi, omunye wabo kabe ngumfakazi kanye lathi wokuvuka kwakhe.
Puipinjikwa jwenejo abhe alonganaga na uwe kutandubhila mobha gubhabhatishaga a Yowana, mpaka lyubha libhatolilwe a Yeshu kwenda kunnungu. Jwenejo shakamule liengo na uwe lyapita kong'ondela kuyuka kwa a Yeshu.”
23 Basebemisa ababili, uJosefa othiwa nguBarsaba, othiwa futhi nguJustusi, loMathiyasi.
Penepo, gubhalugulenje mena ga bhandu bhabhili, jwantai kulugulwa Yoshepu ashemwaga Bhalishabha eu Yushitushi, na jwabhili Matiashi.
24 Basebekhuleka besithi: Wena Nkosi, wena owaziyo inhliziyo zabo bonke, tshengisa kulaba ababili oyedwa, omkhethileyo,
Kungai gubhajujilenje Nnungu bhalinkutinji, “Mmakulungwa, mmwe nnjimanyi mitima ja bhandu bhowe. Kwa nneyo ntulanguye katika bhene bhabhilibha jwei jumunng'agwile,
25 ukwemukela isabelo kulinkonzo lobuphostoli, uJudasi aphambuka kuso, ukuthi aye endaweni engeyakhe.
akamule liengo libhalepele a Yuda nikwenda kubhapinjile bhayene.”
26 Basebebapha inkatho yabo; lenkatho yadla uMathiyasi, wasebalwa kanye labaphostoli abalitshumi lanye.
Gubhatendilenje shikoma, gushaagwilile a Matiashi, gubhabhishilwe munkumbi gwa mitume likumi limo na jumo bhala.
