Imisebenzi 8
1 Njalo uSawuli wayevumelana lokubulawa kwakhe. Ngalolosuku kwasekusuka ukuzingelwa okukhulu kwebandla elaliseJerusalema; bonke basebehlakazeka emazweni eJudiya leSamariya, ngaphandle kwabaphostoli.
Sauli aliga ali mu kwikilishanya ingulu yo lufu lwae. olusiku olwo nilwo ambhile okubhanyasha mu bhutasikene na likanisa linu lyaliga mu Yerusalemu; abhekilisha bhona bhanu bhanyalagene mu maanga aga mu Yudea na Samaria, atali Jitumwa.
2 Amadoda akholwayo asembutha uStefane, amenzela isililo esikhulu.
Abhanu bhanu bhaliga bhamwikilisishe Nyamuanga bhamusikile Stefano no kumukolela echalamo chinene.
3 Kodwa uSawuli walichitha ibandla, engena izindlu ngezindlu, ehudula amadoda labafazi ebafaka entolongweni.
Mbe nawe Sauli nanyasha muno li kanisa. Nagenda bhuli nyumbha no kubhakwesela anja abhagasi na bhalume, no kubhesa mwibhoyelo.
4 Ngakho abahlakazekileyo badabula ilizwe, betshumayela ilizwi.
Abhekilisha bhanu bhaliga bhanyalagene bhaliga bhachasimula omusango.
5 UFiliphu wasesehlela emzini weSamariya, watshumayela kubo uKristu.
Filipo neka mu musi gwa Samaria no kumulasha Kristo eyo.
6 Amaxuku aselalela nganhliziyonye okwakhulunywa nguFiliphu, esizwa njalo ebona izibonakaliso azenzayo.
Wejile amekofyanyisho gongwa no kulola ebhibhalikisho bhinu Filipo akolele; nibhetegelesha ingulu ya chinu aikile.
7 Ngoba kwabanengi ababelabomoya abangcolileyo, bememeza ngelizwi elikhulu baphuma; labanengi ababome umhlubulo lababeyiziqhuli basiliswa.
Okusoka ao abhanu bhafu bhanu bhonguywe, amasambhwa amajabhi ngabhasokako abhanu kenu nibhalila kwo bhulaka bhunene, na bhafu bhanu bhaliga bhafuye omubhili na bhalema nibheulisibhwa.
8 Kwaba khona intokozo enkulu kulowomuzi.
Kwibhyo bhwabheyeo bhukondeleywe bhunene mu musi.
9 Njalo indoda ethile, uSimoni ngebizo, eyayikade isenza imilingo emzini isanganisa isizwe saseSamariya, isithi ingumuntu omkhulu;
Mbe nawe aliga alio omunu umwi mu musi gulya lisina lyae Simoni, unu akolaga obhulosi; bhunu akolaga kwo kubhatang 'a ng'asha abhanu abha liyanga lya Samaria, ku mwanya gundi naika ati mwenene ni munu wa insonga.
10 abayilalelayo bonke kusukela kwabancinyane kuze kube kwabakhulu, besithi: Lo ungamandla amakhulu kaNkulunkulu.
AbhaSamaria bhona okwambhila ku mutoto kukinga ku mukulu, nibhamutegelesha; nibhaika; “omunu unu ni managa ga Nyamuanga ganu gali makulu.
11 Basebemlalela, ngoba wabasanganisa isikhathi eside ngemilingo.
nibhamungwa, kulwo kubha abhatang'ang'ashaga mwanya mulela kwo bhulosi bhwae.
12 Kodwa kwathi sebekholwe uFiliphu etshumayela indaba ezinhle zezinto ngombuso kaNkulunkulu langebizo likaJesu Kristu, babhabhathizwa bonke amadoda labafazi.
Mbe nawe mu mwanya ogwo bhejile bhekilisha ati Filipo asimuye ingulu yo bhukama bhwa Nyamuanga na kulwa Lisina Lya Yesu kristo, nibhabhatijibhwa, abhalume na bhagasi.
13 LoSimoni laye wakholwa, njalo esebhabhathiziwe wanamathela kuFiliphu; wasanganiseka, ebona imisebenzi yamandla lezibonakaliso ezazisenziwa.
Simoni one ekilisishe: ejile abhatijibhwa, nagendelela okubha na Filipo; ejile alola ebhibhalikisho ne bhikumisho bhinu bhyakolekaga, nalugula.
14 Kwathi abaphostoli abaseJerusalema bezwe ukuthi iSamariya ilemukele ilizwi likaNkulunkulu, bathuma kubo uPetro loJohane;
Omwanya gunu jitumwa jaliga jili Yerusalemu jejile jongwa ati Samaria one yalamie omusango gwa nyamuanga nibhabhatuma Petro na Yohana.
15 abathi sebehlile babakhulekela, ukuze bamemukele uMoya oNgcwele;
Mbe bhejile bheka nibhabhasabhila, nibhamulamila mwoyo mwelu.
16 ngoba wayengakehleli lakoyedwa wabo, kodwa babebhabhathizwe ebizweni leNkosi uJesu kuphela.
okukinga ku mwanya ogwo, Mwoyo Mwelu aliga achali kubhekila na umwi webhwe, bhaliga bhabhatijibhwe-la Mwisina lya Latabugenyi Yesu.
17 Basebebeka izandla phezu kwabo, basebesemukela uMoya oNgcwele.
Ao niwo Petro na Yohana nibhabhatelako amabhoko mbe niwo nibhamulamila Mwoyo Mwelu.
18 Njalo uSimoni esebonile ukuthi ngokubekwa kwezandla zabaphostoli uyaphiwa uMoya oyiNgcwele, waletha imali kubo,
Mu mwanya ogwo Simoni ejile alola ati Mwoyo Mwelu kasosibhwa okulabha kwo kutelwako amabhoko ga jitumwa; Nenda okubhayana Jimpilya,
19 esithi: Ngiphani lami lawomandla, ukuze kuthi loba ngubani engibeka izandla zami phezu kwakhe, emukele uMoya oNgcwele.
Mbe naika, “munane amanaga ganu, koleleki bhuli unu nilamutelagako amabhoko amulamile Mwoyo Mwelu.”
20 Kodwa uPetro wathi kuye: Isiliva sakho kanye lawe kakube sekubhubheni, ngoba ucabanga ukuthi isipho sikaNkulunkulu singazuzwa ngemali.
Nawe Petero namubhwila ati; Jimpilya jao amwi nawe bhije kula, kulwo kubha outoga ati echiyanwa cha Nyamuanga echibhonekana mu mpilya.
21 Kawulasabelo lelifa kuloludaba. Ngoba inhliziyo yakho kayiqondanga phambi kukaNkulunkulu.
Utana ebhala ku musango gunu, kulwo kubha omwoyo gwao gutemile imbhele ya Nyamuanga.
22 Ngakho phenduka kulobububi bakho, njalo ucele iNkosi, ukuthi uba kungenzeka uthethelelwe umnakano wenhliziyo yakho.
kulwejo nute amabhibhi gao no kumusabhwa Nyamuanga amwi ousasilwa ameganilisho go mwoyo gwao.
23 Ngoba ngibona ukuthi usenyongweni ebabayo njalo usekubotshweni yisono.
kulwo kubha enilola uli mu bhululu bhwa indulu na mwibhoyo lye bhibhibhi.
24 USimoni wasephendula esithi: Ngikhulekelani lina eNkosini, ukuze ngingehlelwa ngolunye lwalezizinto elizikhulumileyo.
Simoni nasubhya naika ati,”musabhile ku Latabugenyi kulwo kubha amasango gone ganu mwaika agatula okumbhona.
25 Ngakho kuthe sebefakazile bekhulumile ilizwi leNkosi, babuyela eJerusalema, njalo betshumayela ivangeli emizaneni eminengi yamaSamariya.
Omwanya ogwo Petro na Yohana anu bhaliga nibhagubhambhalila no kusimula omusango gwa Latabugenyi, bhasubhile Yerusalemu mu njila eyo; bhasimuye omusango gwo bhwana mu misi myafu eja Bhasamaria.
26 Ingilosi yeNkosi yasikhuluma loFiliphu, yathi: Sukuma uye eningizimu endleleni eyehla isuka eJerusalema isiya eGaza; yona iyinkangala.
Mbe malaika wa Latabugenyi naika no kumubhwila Filipo no kwaika,”imuka ulole na ugende mu malimbhe ku njila eyo eitelemukila mu Yerusalemu kwo kulolela Gaza.”(injila inu ili ibhala).
27 Wasesukuma ehamba; njalo khangela umuntu weEthiyophiya umthenwa induna enkulu kaKandake indlovukazi yamaEthiyophiya, eyayiphezu kwempahla yakhe eligugu yonke, eyayifikile eJerusalema ukukhonza,
Namaga- maga okwiya nagenda. Mbe lola, aliga alio omunu wa Itiopia, omunaule omunu wo bhutulo bhafu emwalo ya kadase; omukamagasi wa abhaisiopia. Unu aliga ateyweo kubha mubhiki we bhinu bhyae bhyona; one aliga agendele Yerusalemu okulamya.
28 yayisibuyela ihlezi enqoleni yayo, ibala kumprofethi uIsaya.
Anu aliga nasubha aliga enyanjile mwigali lyae aliga nasoma echitabho cho bhulagi bhwa Isaya.
29 UMoya wasesithi kuFiliphu: Sondela uhambe lalinqola.
Mwoyo naika na Filipo, “ilila ayei na ligali koleleki umililane nalyo.
30 UFiliphu wasegijimela kuyo wayizwa ibala umprofethi uIsaya, wathi: Kambe uyaqedisisa yini lezizinto ozifundayo?
kwibhyo Filipo nalibhata bhwangu, namungwa nasoma echitabho cho bhulagi bhwa Isaya; namubhwila ati, ougamenya ganu ousoma?”
31 Yasisithi: Kambe ngingakwenelisa njani, ngaphandle kokuthi omunye angiqondise? Yasimcela uFiliphu ukuthi akhwele ahlale layo.
Omuithiopia ulya naika ati,” enitula atiki ntana munu wo kutangasha?” “Namwilebheleja Filipo alinye mwigali no kwinyanja amwi nage.
32 Lesehlukwana sombhalo eyayisifunda yilesi: Walethwa ekuhlatshweni njengemvu; lanjengewundlu lithule phambi komgundi walo, ngokunjalo kawuvuli umlomo wakhe.
Nawe oli libhala lya maandiko ganu aliga nasoma omuitiopia ulya ni linu; Atangasibhwe lwa Inyabhalega inu eigeda mwibhagilo okubhagwa na lwa kutyo inyabhalega eiba ijibhie, one atatanyishe munwa gwae.
33 Ekuthotshisweni kwakhe ukwahlulelwa kwakhe kwasuswa, njalo ngubani ongalandisa ngesizukulwana sakhe? Ngoba impilo yakhe iyasuswa emhlabeni.
kulwo bhusulumbhae bwae indamu yae yasosibhweo: Niga unu katula okwelesha olwibhulo lwae? obhulame bhwae bhwasosibhweo ku nsi.
34 Umthenwa wasephendula uFiliphu wathi: Ngiyakubuza, umprofethi ukhuluma lokhu ngobani? Ngaye ngokwakhe, kumbe ngomunye yini?
Kwibhyo omunaule ulya namubhusha Filipo, no kwaika, “enikusabhwa, ni mulagi uya unu kaikililwa emisango jae, jili ku mwene nagu jili ku munu undi?
35 UFiliphu wasevula umlomo wakhe, eseqala kulowombhalo, watshumayela uJesu kuye.
“Filipo namba okwaika, ambhie ku musango gunu ogwa isaya okumusimulila emisango ja Yesu.
36 Kwathi besahamba endleleni, bafika emanzini athile; lomthenwa wathi: Khangela, nanka amanzi; kuyini okungivimbela ukuthi ngibhabhathizwe?
Anu bhaliga bhali mu njila, nibhakinga ku manji omunaule naika,”lola, anu galio amanji ni chinuki chinu echiganya nisige okubhatijibhwa?”
37 UFiliphu wasesithi: Uba ukholwa ngenhliziyo yonke, kuvunyelwe. Wasephendula wathi: Ngiyakholwa ukuthi uJesu Kristu uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
Amasango ganu, “kwibhyo omuitiopia nasubhya ati,”enikilisha ati Yesu kristo ni mwana wa Nyamuanga”, (gatalimo mu maandiko ga kala) niwo omuitiopia nalagilila ligali limelegulu.
38 Waselaya ukuthi inqola ime; basebesehlela emanzini bobabili, uFiliphu lomthenwa; wasembhabhathiza.
Nibhaja mu manji, amwi Filipo no munaule, Filipo namubhatija.
39 Kwathi sebekhuphukile emanzini, uMoya weNkosi wamhluthuna uFiliphu; njalo umthenwa kazabe esambona; wahamba-ke ngendlela yakhe ethokoza.
Mu mwanya ogwo bhejile bhasoka mu manji, mwoyo wa Latabugenyi nigumusila kula Filipo, mbe omunaule atasubhile kumulola, nagenda njila yae asandabhile.
40 Kodwa uFiliphu waficwa eAzotu; njalo edabula watshumayela ivangeli kuyo yonke imizi, waze wafika eKesariya.
Mbe nawe Filipo nabhonekanila Azoto. Alabhile mu musi gulya no kusimula emisango jo bhwana mu misi jone ndijei nakinga Kaisaria.
