1Abaphostoli nabazalwane baseJudiya bezwa ukuthi nabezizwe balamukele izwi likaNkulunkulu.

2Kwathi uPetru esekhuphukele eJerusalema, abokusoka baphikisana naye;

3besithi: Wangena ebantwini abangasokanga, wadla labo.

4Kodwa uPetro wayilandisa indaba kwasekuqaleni, wabachasisela ngomlayo, esithi:

5Mina ngangisemzini waseJopha ngikhuleka, ngase ngibona ethongweni umbono, kwehla isitsha esithile, sinjengendwangu enkulu, sehliswa ngamachopho omane sivela ezulwini; lafika nakimi.

6okwathi ngigqolozele kukho, ngabona, ngabona izilwane zomhlaba ezinezinyawo ezine, nezilo zasendle, nezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo, nezinyoni zezulu.

7Ngasengisizwa ilizwi lisithi kimi: Sukuma, Petro; hlaba udle.

8Kodwa ngathi: Qha, Nkosi, ngokuba akukho okuyichilo nokungcolileyo akuzange kungene emlonyeni wami.

9Kodwa izwi langiphendula futhi livela ezulwini, lathi: Lokho uNkulunkulu akuhlambululileyo, wena ungasho ukuthi kungcolile.

10Lokho kwenzeka kathathu, konke kwabuye kwenyuselwa ezulwini.

11Bheka, kwahle kwafika amadoda amathathu endlini engangikuyo, ethunywe kimi evela eKesariya.

12UMoya wayesethi kimi ngihambe nawo, ngingangabazi ngalutho. Bahamba nami nalaba bazalwane abayisithupha, sangena endlini yalowo muntu;

13Yasibikela ukuthi yayibone ingelosi endlini yayo imi, yathi kuye: ‘Thuma amadoda eJopha, ubize uSimoni othiwa uPetru;

14ozakukhuluma kuwe amazwi, ozasindiswa ngawo wena lendlu yakho yonke.

15Kwathi ngisaqala ukukhuluma, uMoya oNgcwele wehlela phezu kwabo, njengalokhu wehlela kithi ekuqaleni.

16Ngase ngikhumbula izwi leNkosi ukuthi yathi: ‘UJohane wabhapathiza ngamanzi; kodwa lina lizabhabhathizwa ngoMoya oNgcwele.

17Ngakho-ke njengokuba uNkulunkulu ebanikile isipho esifana naso njengathi thina esakholwa yiNkosi uJesu Kristu; mina bengiyini ukuba ngimelane noNkulunkulu na?

18Sebezwile lezizinto bathula, bamdumisa uNkulunkulu, besithi: Ngakho uNkulunkulu unikile labezizwe ukuphendukela ekuphileni.

19Labo abahlakazekile ngokushushiswa okwavela ngoStefanu badabula baze bafika eFenike, naseKhupro, nase-Antiyokiya, bengalishumayeli izwi kubaJuda kuphela.

20Abanye kubo kwakungamadoda aseKhupro naseKhurene, abathi sebefikile e-Antiyokiya, bakhuluma kumaGreki, beshumayela ivangeli ngeNkosi uJesu.

21Isandla seNkosi sasinabo, kwakholwa isixuku esikhulu saphendukela eNkosini.

22Izindaba ezinjalo zezwakala ezindlebeni zebandla laseJerusalema, bathuma uBarnabasi ukuba ahambe aze afike e-Antiyokiya.

23owathi efika, esewubonile umusa kaNkulunkulu, wathokoza, wabakhuthaza bonke ukuthi banamathele eNkosini ngokuzimisela kwenhliziyo.

24Ngokuba wayeyindoda enhle, egcwele uMoya oNgcwele nokukholwa; kwenezelwa eNkosini abantu abaningi.

25UBarnabasi wasesuka waya eTarsu ukuyadinga uSawuli;

26Esemtholile wamyisa e-Antiyokiya. Kwasekusithi umnyaka wonke babuthana ebandleni, bafundisa abantu abanengi. Futhi abafundi baqala ukubizwa ngokuthi amaKristu e-Antiyokiya.

27Ngalezo zinsuku kwafika abaprofethi bevela eJerusalema, beza e-Antiyokiya.

28Kwasekusukuma omunye wabo obizo lakhe lingu-Agabu, watshengisa ngoMoya ukuthi kuzakuba khona indlala enkulu emhlabeni wonke;

29Khona abafundi bazimisela, kwaba yilowo nalowo njengamandla akhe, ukuthumela usizo kubazalwane abakhileyo eJudiya.

30Bakwenza-ke lokho, bakuthumela emalungeni ngesandla sikaBarnaba noSawulu.
