Umhlangano wabaphostoli eJerusalema
1Kwehla amadoda athile evela eJudiya, afundisa abazalwane athi: Uba lingasokwa ngomlayo kaMose, lingesiliswe.#Levi 12:3 2Kuthe ukuba kuvele ukuphambana lokuphikisana okukhulu phakathi kwabo loPawuli loBarnabasi, kwamiswa ukuba uPawuli loBarnabasi labanye abathile benyukele eJerusalema kubaphostoli labadala ngalindaba. 3Ngakhoke kwathi sebevalelisiwe libandla badabula iFenekiya leSamariya, belandisa ngokuphenduka kwabezizwe, benzela abazalwane ukuthokoza okukhulu. 4Sebefikile eJerusalema bamukelwa libandla labaphostoli labadala, balandisa konke uNkulunkulu ayekwenzile ngabo. 5Kodwa abanye abakholwayo abangabehlelo labaFarisi basukuma, bathi: Kufanele ukuba basokwe, balaywe ukugcina umlayo kaMose.
6Kwasekubuthana abaphostoli labadala, ukuze bayihlole lindaba. 7Kwathi sebephikisene kakhulu, wasukuma uPetro wathi kubo: Bazalwane, liyazi ukuthi ensukwini zokuqala uNkulunkulu wangikhetha phakathi kwenu ukuba ngomlomo wami abezizwe, balizwe ilizwi levangeli, bakholwe.#Seb 10:1–43 8UNkulunkulu owaziyo inhliziyo wabafakazela ngokubanika uMoya oNgcwele njengathi;#Seb 2:4; 10:44 9futhi kehlukanisanga phakathi kwethu labo, ehlambulula inhliziyo zabo ngokukholwa. 10Ngakhoke limlingelani uNkulunkulu ngokubeka ijokwe entanyeni yabafundi okhokho kanye lathi esingabanga lamandla okulithwala na? 11Kodwa sikholwa ukuthi sisiliswa ngomusa weNkosi uJesu ngandlelanye labo.
12Ixuku lonke lathula; lalalela uBarnabasi loPawuli belandisa ngezibonakaliso langezimangaliso uNkulunkulu ayezenze ngabo phakathi kwabezizwe. 13Sebeqedile ukukhuluma, uJakobe wathi: Bazalwane, ngilalelani. 14USimiyoni uselandisile ngokwehlela kukaNkulunkulu ekuqaleni phakathi kwabezizwe ukuba azuzele ibizo lakhe abantu. 15Lamazwi abaprofethi ayavumelana lalokhu, njengokuba kulotshiwe ukuthi:
16Ngemva kwalokho ngizakubuya,
ngiyakhe futhi indlu kaDavida ewileyo,
ngizakwakha okudilikileyo kwayo, ngiyimise,#Amos 9:11, 12
17ukuze abaseleyo babantu kanye lezizwe zonke bayifune iNkosi
ababizwe ngebizo lami,
18kutsho iNkosi eyenza ukuba lezizinto zaziwe kwasekuqaleni.
19Ngakho mina ngithi asingabakhathazi labo kwabezizwe abaphendukela kuNkulunkulu, 20kodwa asibalobele ukuba bazile amanyala ezithombe, lokufeba, lokukhanyiweyo, legazi.#Eks 34:15–17; Levi 17:10–16; 18:6–23 21Ngoba uMose ulabo abamtshumayelayo emizini yonke kusukela ezizukulwaneni zasendulo, uyafundwa emasinagogeni amaSabatha wonke.
22Kwasekusiba kuhle kubaphostoli lakwabadala kanye lebandla lonke ukuba kukhethwe amadoda phakathi kwabo athunywe eAntiyoki kanye loPawuli loBarnabasi; basebethuma uJudasi othiwa nguBarsaba loSilasi, amadoda amakhulu phakathi kwabazalwane; 23basebeloba ngesandla sabo ukuthi: Thina abaphostoli labadala labazalwane, siyabingelela abazalwane abangabezizwe eAntiyoki, leSiriya, leKilikhiya. 24Njengokuba sizwile ukuthi abantu abathile abavela kithi balikhathazile ngamazwi, bedunga ingqondo zenu ngesingabalayanga khona, 25kube kuhle kithi sihlangene ukuba siwakhethe amadoda athile siwathume kini kanye labathandekayo bethu uBarnabasi loPawuli, 26abantu abadele ukusila kwabo ngenxa yebizo leNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu. 27Ngakhoke sithumile uJudasi loSilasi abazakulitshela lezizinto ngomlomo. 28Ngoba kube kuhle kuMoya oNgcwele lakithi ukuba singalethwesi umthwalo omkhulu ngaphandle kwalezizinto ezifunekayo 29zokuthi lizile okuhlatshelwe izithombe, legazi, lokukhanyiweyo, lokufeba; uba lizilondoloza kulezizinto, lobe lenze kuhle. Salani kuhle.
30Ngakho sebethunyiwe basuka behlela eAntiyoki. Sebelihlanganisile ibandla, balinika incwadi. 31Sebeyifundile bathokoza ngokululeka kwayo. 32UJudasi loSilasi, njengokuba labo babengabaprofethi, balaya abazalwane ngamazwi amanengi, babaqinisa. 33Sebehlale khona isikhathi, bavaleliswa ngokuthula ngabazalwane, ukuba babuyele kulabo ababethunywe yibo. [34Kodwa kwaba kuhle kuSilasi ukuba asale khona.] 35Kodwa uPawuli loBarnabasi basala eAntiyoki, befundisa betshumayela ilizwi leNkosi kanye labanye abanengi.
Ukwahlukana kukaPawuli loBarnabasi
36Emva kwensuku ezithile uPawuli wasesithi kuBarnabasi: Ake sibuye sihambele abazalwane emizini yonke lapho esatshumayela khona ilizwi leNkosi, sibone ukuba bahlezi njani. 37UBarnabasi wafuna ukuba bathathe uJohane othiwa nguMarko bahambe laye. 38Kodwa uPawuli wathi kakufanele ukuba bahambe laye owabatshiya ePamfiliya, kaze aya labo emsebenzini.#Seb 13:13 39Kwasekuvela ukuphikisana okukhulu, basebesahlukana; uBarnabasi wathatha uMarko, wahamba laye ngomkolo, baya eKuprosi.
Uhambo lwesibili lukaPawuli
40Kodwa uPawuli wakhetha uSilasi, esenikelwe emuseni weNkosi ngabazalwane wasuka wahamba. 41Wadabula iSiriya leKilikhiya eqinisa amabandla.
