2 Kwathi ukuphikisana nokuphikisana kukaPawulu noBarnaba okungekuncane nabo, banquma ukuba uPawulu noBarnaba, nabanye kubo, bakhuphukele kubaphostoli namalunga eJerusalema ngalowo mbuzo.
3 Sebephelekezelwe libandla, badabula iFenike neSamariya, belandisa ukuphenduka kwabezizwe; baletha intokozo enkulu kubo bonke abazalwane.
4 Sebefikile eJerusalema, bamukelwa libandla labaphostoli labadala, balandisa ngakho konke uNkulunkulu ayekwenzile labo.
5 Kodwa kwasukuma abanye behlelo labaFarisi abakholwayo, besithi: Kumele ukubasoka, lokulaywa ukugcina umlayo kaMozisi.
6 Base bebuthana abaphostoli namalunga ukuba bayihlole leyo ndaba.
7 Kwathi sekunempikiswano enkulu, wasukuma uPetru, wathi kubo: “Madoda, bazalwane, niyazi nina ukuthi kusukela kudala uNkulunkulu wakhetha phakathi kwethu ukuba abezizwe bezwe izwi levangeli ngomlomo wami, bakhulume izwi levangeli kholwani.
8 NoNkulunkulu owazi izinhliziyo wabafakazela, ebapha uMoya oNgcwele, njengalokho enzile nakithi;
9 Akabekanga umehluko phakathi kwethu nabo, ehlambulula izinhliziyo zabo ngokholo.
10 Manje nimlingelani uNkulunkulu ngokubeka ijoka entanyeni yabafundi, obaba nathi esingenamandla okulithwala na?
11 Kepha siyakholwa ukuthi siyakusindiswa ngomusa weNkosi uJesu Kristu, njengalokho nabo.
12 Isixuku sonke sathula, sabalalela oBarnaba noPawulu belandisa ukuthi yiziphi izimangaliso nezimangaliso uNkulunkulu ayezenze ngabo kwabezizwe.
13 Sebethulile, uJakobe waphendula wathi: Madoda, bazalwane, ngizweni.
14 USimeyoni usilandisile ukuthi uNkulunkulu wabahambela kanjani abezizwe ekuqaleni ukuze athathe kubo abantu begama lakhe.
15 Nalokho amazwi abaprofethi ayavumelana nalokhu; njengoba kulotshiwe,
16 Emva kwalokho ngiyakubuya, ngibuye ngilakhe itabernakele likaDavide eliwileyo; ngiyakubuye ngiwakhe amanxiwa awo, ngiwumise;
17 Ukuze insali yabantu ifune iNkosi, nabezizwe bonke ababizwa ngegama lami, isho iNkosi eyenza zonke lezi zinto.
18 Iyaziwa nguNkulunkulu yonke imisebenzi yakhe kwasekuqaleni kwezwe.
19 Ngakho-ke mina ngithi singabakhathazi labo kwabezizwe abaphendukela kuNkulunkulu;
20 kodwa sibabhalele ukuthi bayeke amanyala ezithombe, lobufebe, lokukhanyiweyo, legazi.
21 Ngokuba uMose kwasendulo unabamshumayelayo emizini yonke, efundwa emasinagogeni isabatha ngamasabatha.
22 Kwaba kuhle-ke kubaphostoli namalunga kanye nebandla lonke ukuthumela amadoda athile phakathi kwabo e-Antiyokiya kanye noPawulu noBarnaba; okungukuthi uJuda othiwa uBarsaba, noSila, izinduna phakathi kwabazalwane;
23 Basebebhala izincwadi ngabo ngalendlela; Abaphostoli namalunga nabazalwane bayakhonza kubazalwane abavela kwabezizwe e-Antiyokiya, naseSiriya, naseKhilikhiya;
24 Njengoba sizwile ukuthi abathile abaphuma kithi banikhathaze ngamazwi, bedukisa imiphefumulo yenu, besithi: Kumele lisokwe, ligcine umlayo, esingabanikanga umlayo onjalo.
25 Kwaba kuhle kithi sibuthene nganhliziyonye, ukuthuma kini amadoda akhethiweyo kanye labathandekayo bethu uBarnabasi loPawuli;
26 abantu abadele ukuphila kwabo ngenxa yegama leNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu.

31 Kwathi sebefundile bathokoza ngenduduzo.

36 Kwathi emva kwezinsuku ezithile uPawulu wathi kuBarnabasi: “Asibuye sihambele abazalwane bethu emizini yonke esishumayele kuyo izwi leNkosi, sibone ukuthi banjani.
37 UBarnabasi wazimisela ukuhamba noJohane othiwa uMarku.
38 Kepha uPawulu akabonanga kukuhle ukumthatha, ahambe nabo, yena owabashiya ePhamfiliya, akaya nabo emsebenzini.
39 Kwaba khona ukuphikisana okukhulu, baze bahlukana, uBarnabasi wamthatha uMarku, waya eKhupro ngomkhumbi;

1 Kuyo ingelosi yebandla lase-Efesu loba ukuthi: “Nakhu akushoyo ophethe izinkanyezi eziyisikhombisa esandleni sakhe sokunene, ohamba phakathi kwezinti zezibani eziyisikhombisa zegolide;
2 Ngiyayazi imisebenzi yakho, nomshikashika wakho, nokubekezela kwakho, nokuthi ungebekezelele ababi;

5 Ngakho khumbula lapho uwe khona, uphenduke, wenze imisebenzi yakuqala; uma kungenjalo, ngizakuza kuwe masinyane, ngilususe uthi lwesibane sakho endaweni yalo, ngaphandle kokuthi uphenduke.
6 Kodwa unakho lokhu, ukuthi uyazizonda izenzo zamaNikolawu, engizizondayo lami.
7 Onendlebe makezwe lokho akushoyo uMoya emabandleni; Onqobayo ngiyakumnika ukuba adle kuwo umuthi wokuphila, ophakathi kwepharadesi likaNkulunkulu.
8 Nakuyo ingelosi yebandla laseSmirna loba ukuthi: Nakhu akushoyo owokuqala nowokugcina, owayefile, futhi wabuye waphila;
9 Ngiyayazi imisebenzi yakho, nosizi, nobumpofu, (kodwa ucebile) futhi ngiyakwazi nenhlamba yalabo abathi bangamaJuda, kanti bengesiwo, kodwa isinagoge likaSathane.
10 Ungesabi lezinto ozahlupheka ngazo; khangela, uSathane uzaphosela abanye benu entolongweni, ukuze nilingwe; futhi niyakuba nosizi izinsuku eziyishumi: thembeka kuze kube sekufeni, futhi ngizokunika umqhele wokuphila.
11 Onendlebe makezwe lokho akushoyo uMoya emabandleni; Onqobayo kayikulinyazwa ngukufa kwesibili.
12 Nakuyo ingelosi yebandla lasePhergamu loba ukuthi: “Nakhu akushoyo onenkemba ebukhali esika nhlangothi zombili;
13 Ngiyayazi imisebenzi yakho, lalapho ohlala khona, lalapho isihlalo sikaSathane sikhona; njalo ulibambile ibizo lami, kawuphikanga ukholo lwami, langalezonsuku uAntipasi engumfakazi wami othembekileyo, owabulawa phakathi kwenu, lapho uSathane ehlala khona.
14 Kepha nginezinto eziyingcosana ngawe, ngokuba unabo lapho ababambe isifundiso sikaBileyamu owafundisa uBalaki ukuphonsa isikhubekiso phambi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, ukuba badle okuhlatshelwe izithombe, benze ubufebe.
15 Kanjalo nawe unababambisisa isifundiso samaNikolawu, into engiyizondayo.
16 Phendukani; uma kungenjalo, ngizakuza kuwe masinyane, ngilwe nabo ngenkemba yomlomo wami.
17 Onendlebe makezwe lokho akushoyo uMoya emabandleni; Onqobayo ngiyakumnika ukuba adle imana elifihliweyo, ngimnike itshe elimhlophe, nasetsheni igama elisha elilotshiwe, elingaziwa muntu, kuphela owemukelayo.
18 Nakuyo ingelosi yebandla laseThiyathira loba ukuthi: “Nakhu ikushoyo iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, enamehlo anjengelangabi lomlilo, nezinyawo zayo zifana nethusi elikhazimulayo;
19 Ngiyayazi imisebenzi yakho, nothando, nokukhonza, nokukholwa, nokubekezela kwakho, nemisebenzi yakho; futhi abokugcina babe baningi kunezokuqala.
20 Kodwa ngilezinto ezinlutshwana ngawe, ukuthi uvumela owesifazana uJezebeli, ozibiza ngokuthi ungumprofethikazi, ukufundisa lokuduhisa inceku zami ukuthi ziphinge lokuthi zidle okuhlatshelwe izithombe.
21 Ngamnika isikhathi sokuthi aphenduke ebufebeni bakhe; futhi kaphendukanga.
22 Bheka, ngiyakumphonsa embhedeni, abaphinga naye ngibaphonse osizini olukhulu, uma bengaphenduki emisebenzini yabo.
23 Njalo ngizabulala abantwana bakhe ngokufa; namabandla onke ayakwazi ukuthi mina nginguye ohlola izinso nezinhliziyo;
24 Kepha ngithi kinina nakwabanye abaseThiyathira, nonke eningenasifundiso, eningakwaziyo ukujula kukaSathane, njengokusho kwabo; angiyikubeka phezu kwenu omunye umthwalo.
25 Kepha lokho eninakho kubambisiseni ngize ngifike.
26 Onqobayo nogcina imisebenzi yami kuze kube sekupheleni, ngiyakumnika amandla phezu kwezizwe;
27 Uyakuzibusa ngentonga yensimbi; njengezitsha zombumbi ziyakuphahlazwa, njengalokho nami ngamukele kuBaba.
28 Ngizamnika ikhwezi lokusa.
29 Onendlebe makezwe lokho akushoyo uMoya emabandleni.

17 Ngokukholwa u-Abrahama evivinywa wanikela ngo-Isaka, yena owayamukele izithembiso wanikela ngendodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa.
18 Okwathiwa ngaye: NgoIsaka inzalo yakho iyakubizwa;
19 Ethi uNkulunkulu unamandla okumvusa nakwabafileyo; lapho laye wamamukela khona ngomfanekiso.
20 Ngokukholwa u-Isaka wabusisa oJakobe no-Esawu ngezinto ezizayo.
21 Ngokukholwa uJakobe esezakufa wabusisa amadodana kaJosefa omabili; wakhuleka encika esihlokweni sodondolo lwakhe.
22 Ngokholo uJosefa esefile wakhuluma ngokuphuma kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli; walaya ngamathambo akhe.
23 Ngokukholwa uMose esezelwe wafihlwa ngabazali bakhe izinyanga ezintathu, ngokuba bambona engumntwana omuhle; futhi abawesabanga umyalo wenkosi.
24 Ngokukholwa uMose esekhulile wala ukubizwa ngokuthi indodana yendodakazi kaFaro;
25 wakhetha ukuphathwa kabi kanye nabantu bakaNkulunkulu kunokuba athokoze isikhashana esonweni;
26 wathi ukuthukwa kukaKristu kuyingcebo enkulu kunengcebo yaseGibithe, ngokuba wayebheke umvuzo.
27 Ngokukholwa washiya iGibithe, engesabi ulaka lwenkosi, ngokuba waqinisela sengathi uyambona ongabonwayo.

31 Ngokukholwa uRahabi isifebe akabhubhanga kanye nabangakholwanga, esamukele izinhloli ngokuthula.

34 bacima amandla omlilo, baphunyuka obukhali benkemba, baqiniswa ebuthakathakeni, baba ngamaqhawe ekulweni, baxosha amabutho abezizwe.
35 Abesifazane bemukela abafileyo babo bevusiwe; abanye bahlushwa, kabavuma ukukhululwa; ukuze bathole ukuvuka okungcono kakhulu;
36 Abanye balingwa ngokuhlekwa ngonya nangokubhaxabulwa, yebo, nangezibopho nokuboshwa;
37 bakhandwa ngamatshe, banqunyulwa phakathi, balingwa, babulawa ngenkemba, bazulazula bembethe izikhumba zezimvu nezikhumba zezimbuzi; beswele, behlupheka, behlutshwa;
38 (umhlaba wawungabafanele) bazulazula ezingwadule, nasezintabeni, nasemihumeni, nasemihumeni yomhlaba.
39 Labo bonke laba, befakazelwe ngokholo, kabazemukelanga isithembiso;

2 Uyangilalisa emadlelweni aluhlaza; Ungiholela emanzini okuthula.
3 Uyawuvuselela umphefumulo wami, uyangihola ezindleleni zokulunga ngenxa yegama lakhe.
4 Yebo, noma ngidlula esigodini sethunzi lokufa, angesabi okubi, ngokuba wena unami; Intonga yakho nodondolo lwakho ziyangiduduza.
5 Ulungisa itafula phambi kobuso bami phambi kwezitha zami; Ugcoba ikhanda lami ngamafutha; indebe yami iyachichima.

3 Ngoba ngomusa engiwuphiweyo, ngithi kuwo wonke umuntu ophakathi kwenu ukuthi angazicabangeli ngaphezu kwalokho afanele ukukucabanga; kodwa acabange ngokuqonda, njengalokho uNkulunkulu abele yilowo nalowo isilinganiso sokukholwa.
4 Ngokuba njengalokhu sinezitho eziningi emzimbeni munye, kepha izitho zonke azinamsebenzi munye;
5 Kanjalo thina esibaningi singumzimba munye kuKristu, futhi wonke amalungu omunye komunye.

7 Noma inkonzo, masihlale enkonzweni yethu;
8 noma owalayo, ekuyaleni; obusa ngenkuthalo; ohawukelayo, makehle ngokwenama.
9 Uthando kalungabi lokuzenzisa. Yenyanya okubi; namathelani kokuhle.
10 Thandanani okuhle omunye komunye ngothando lobuzalwane; ekuhlonipheni nikhethe omunye komunye;
11 Lingavilaphi emsebenzini; ovuthayo emoyeni; ukukhonza iNkosi;
12 Jabulani ethembeni; ubekezele osizini; niqinise emthandazweni;
13 Yabelani abangcwele ekuswelekeni; emukela izihambi.
14 Babusiseni abanizingelayo; busisani, ningaqalekisi.
15 Jabulani nabathokozayo, nikhale nabakhalayo.
16 Yibani nomqondo munye omunye komunye. Ningagxili ezintweni eziphakeme, kodwa zehliseni kwabaphansi. Ningahlakaniphi ngokwenu.
17 Ningaphindiseli muntu okubi ngokubi. Yenzani izinto eziqotho phambi kwabantu bonke.
18 Uma kungenzeka, ngokusemandleni enu, hlalani ngokuthula nabantu bonke.
19 Bathandekayo, ningaziphindiseli nina, kodwa dedelani ulaka, ngokuba kulotshiwe ukuthi: Ngokwami ukuphindisela; ngiyakubuyisela mina, isho iNkosi.
20 Ngakho-ke uma isitha sakho silambile, siphe sidle; uma somile, siphuzise, ngokuba ngokwenza lokho uyakubuthela amalahle omlilo ekhanda laso.
21 Unganqotshwa okubi, kodwa nqoba okubi ngokuhle.

UGenesise 19 : 1 – 38
1 Kwathi sekuhlwile kweza izingelosi ezimbili eSodoma; uLoti wayehlezi esangweni laseSodoma, uLoti ewabona, wasukuma ukuwahlangabeza; wakhothamisa ubuso bakhe emhlabathini;
2 Wathi: “Bheka, Nkosi yami, phendukela endlini yenceku yakho, ulale ubusuku bonke, ugeze izinyawo zakho, bese uvuka ekuseni, uhambe; Baphendula bathi: Cha! kodwa sizahlala emgwaqweni ubusuku bonke.
3 Kodwa waphikelela; baphendukela kuye, bangena endlini yakhe; wabalungisela ukudla, wabhaka isinkwa esingenamvubelo, badla.
4 Kepha ngaphambi kokuba zilale, amadoda omuzi, amadoda aseSodoma, ahaqa indlu, amadala nabasha, bonke abantu nxazonke.
5 Bambiza uLoti, bathi kuye: “Aphi lawa madoda angenise kuwe ebusuku na?” Zikhiphele kithi, ukuze sizazi.
6 ULothi waphuma ngomnyango waya kubo wavala umnyango ngemva kwakhe.
7 Wathi: “Ngiyanincenga, bazalwane, ningayenzi into embi kanje.
8 Bhekani, nginamadodakazi amabili engingaziwa muntu; ngiyakubakhiphela bona, ngenze kubo njengokuhle emehlweni enu; nje ungenzi lutho kulawa madoda; ngoba zeza ngaphansi komthunzi wophahla lwami.
9 Bathi: “Suka.” Baphinda bathi: Lo ungene ukugogobala, uyakuba ngumahluleli; manje sizokuphatha kabi kunabo. Bayicindezela indoda, uLoti, basondela ukuba bafohloze umnyango.
10 Kodwa amadoda elula isandla amdonsela uLoti endlini kanye nawo, ahluthulela umnyango.
11 Amadoda ayesemnyango wendlu ashaya ngobumpumputhe, amancane namakhulu, akhathala ngokuthola umnyango.
12 Ayesethi amadoda kuLoti: “Usenabakhwenyana, namadodana, namadodakazi, nakho konke onakho emzini, bakhiphe kule ndawo na?
13 Ngokuba siyakuyichitha le ndawo, ngokuba isikhalo ngabo sesisikhulu phambi kukaJehova; uJehova wasithuma ukuba silichithe.
14 ULoti wasephuma, wakhuluma kubakhwenyana bakhe ababethethe amadodakazi akhe, wathi: Sukani, lisuke kulindawo; ngoba iNkosi izawuchitha lumuzi. Kodwa wayebukeka njengomuntu ogcona abakhwenyana bakhe.
15 Kwathi sekusile, izingelosi zamphuthumisa uLoti, zathi: “Vuka, uthathe umkakho namadodakazi akho omabili akhona; funa nibhubhe ngobubi bomuzi.
16 Esalindile, amadoda abamba isandla sakhe, nesandla somkakhe, nesandla samadodakazi akhe omabili; uJehova waba nomusa kuye, bamkhipha, bamkhiphela ngaphandle komuzi.
17 Esebakhiphele phandle wathi: “Balekani ukuphila kwenu; ungabheki emva kwakho, ungahlali ethafeni lonke; balekela entabeni, funa ubhujiswe.
18 ULoti wasesithi kuwo: Hatshi, Nkosi yami!
19 Bheka manje, inceku yakho ifumene umusa emehlweni akho, futhi ukhulise umusa wakho ongenzele wona kimi ngokusindisa ukuphila kwami; futhi anginakubalekela entabeni, funa ububi bungifike ngife.
20 Bheka-ke, lo muzi useduze ukuba ngibalekele kuwo, futhi mncane;
21 Wathi kuye: “Bheka, nami ngikuthokozisile ngale ndaba, ukuthi angiyikuwubhubhisa lo muzi okhulume ngawo.”
22 Sheshani, nibalekele khona; ngoba mina ngingenze lutho uze ufike kukho. Ngalokho igama lomuzi lathiwa iZowari.
23 Ilanga laphuma phezu komhlaba lapho uLothi engena eZowari.
24 UJehova wanisa isibabule nomlilo phezu kweSodoma neGomora kuvela ezulwini;
25 Wagumbuqela leyo mizi, nalo lonke ithafa, nabo bonke abakhileyo emizini, nalokho okuhluma emhlabathini.
26 Kepha umkakhe wabheka emva kwakhe, waba yinsika kasawoti.
27 U-Abrahama wavuka ekuseni kakhulu, waya endaweni lapho ayemi khona phambi kukaJehova.
28 Wabheka ngaseSodoma naseGomora nasezweni lonke lethafa, bheka, umusi wezwe wenyuka njengomusi wesithando.
29 Lapho uNkulunkulu ebhubhisa imizi yasethafeni, uNkulunkulu wamkhumbula u-Abrahama futhi wamkhipha uLoti phakathi nenkathi ephendukayo, lapho egumbuqela imizi uLoti ayehlala kuyo.
30 ULoti wasuka eZowari, wahlala entabeni, namadodakazi akhe womabili kanye naye; ngoba wesaba ukuhlala eZowari, waya wahlala emhumeni, yena lamadodakazi akhe womabili.
31 Eyamazibulo yathi kwencane: “Ubaba usekhulile, futhi akukho muntu emhlabeni ongangena kithi njengowomhlaba wonke.”
32 Wozani simphuzise ubaba iwayini, sihlanganyele naye, ukuze sigcine inzalo kababa.
33 Base bemphuzisa uyise iwayini ngalobo busuku; yangena izibulo, yalala noyise; futhi akabonanga lapho elala nalapho evuka.
34 Ngangomuso izibulo yathi kwencane: “Bheka, ngilele nobaba izolo ebusuku; masimphuzise iwayini ngalobu busuku; futhi ungene futhi ulale naye, ukuze silondoloze inzalo kababa wethu.
35 Zase zimphuzisa uyise iwayini nangabo lobo busuku, encane yasuka yalala naye; futhi akabonanga lapho elala nalapho evuka.
36 Ngakho womabili amadodakazi kaLoti akhulelwa uyise.
37 Eyokuqala yazala indodana, yaqamba igama layo ngokuthi uMowabi; unguyise wamaMowabi kuze kube namuhla.
38 Encane nayo yazala indodana, yaqamba igama layo ngokuthi uBenami; lowo unguyise wabantwana bakwa-Amoni kuze kube namuhla.
