Isahluko 3

Ke kaloku, uPetros, noYohane babenyuka bendawonye, besiya etempileni ngexesha lomthandazo, ililixa lesithoba.
2 Kwaye ke kuthwelwe ndoda ithile, ibisisiqhwala kwasekuzalweni kwayo, ababeyibeka imihla ngemihla emnyango wetempile, lowo kuthiwa Mhle, ukuba icele amalizo kwabangenayo etempileni;
3 eyathi, yakubona uPetros noYohane beza kungena etempileni, yacela ukuba bayilize.
4 Uthe ke uPetros, enoYohane, eqwalasele kuyo wathi, Khangela kuthi apha.
5 Yabagqala ke, ilinde ukwamkela into kubo.
6 Wathi ke uPetros, Isilivere negolide andinayo, kodwa endinako ndikunika khona: egameni likaYesu Kristu umNazarete, vuka uhambe.
7 Wayibamba ngesandla sokunene, wayivusa; zomelezeka ke kwalapho iinyawo zayo namaqatha ayo.
8 Yesuka umtsi, yema, yahambahamba, yangena nabo etempileni, ihambahamba itsiba, imdumisa uThixo.
9 Baza bonke abantu bayibona ihambahamba, idumisa uThixo;
10 bayazi nokuyazi, ukuba ingulowa ubehlalela amalizo eMnyango oMhle wetempile, bathi qhiphu umbilini, bathi nqa yiloo nto ihlileyo kuyo.
11 Ke kaloku, sakubon’ ukuba isiqhwala esiphilisiweyo sibabambe ngesandla ooPetros noYohane, bonke abantu babalekela kubo evarandeni ekuthiwa yekaSolomon, beqhiphuke umbilini kakubi.
12 Akukubona ke oko uPetros, waphendula wathi kubo abantu, Madoda, maSirayeli, yini na ukuba nimangaliswe yile nto? Kanjalo yini na ukuba nisijonge, ngathi simenze wahamba ngawethu amandla, nangokwethu ukuhlonela uThixo?
13 UThixo wooAbraham noIsake noYakobi, uThixo woobawo bethu, umzukisile umkhonzi wakhe uYesu, enamnikelayo, namkhanyela ebusweni bukaPilato nina, akubon’ ukuba yena ugwebe ngelithi, makakhululwe.
14 Ke nina namkhanyela oyiNgcwele, oliLungisa, nacela ukuba ninikwe indoda engumbulali.
15 Ke yona iMbangi yobomi nayibulala; awayivusayo uThixo kwabafileyo, esingamangqina ako oko thina.
16 Nangenxa yokukholwa kwigama layo, lo nimbonayo, nimaziyo, limomelezile igama layo; lwathi ukholo olungayo lwamnika oku kuphila kupheleleyo phambi kwenu nonke.
17 Nangoku, bazalwana, ndiyazi ukuba nenze ngokungazi, njengabo nabo abaphathi benu.
18 Ke uThixo, izinto awazixela ngenxa engaphambili ngomlomo wabo bonke abaprofeti bakhe, zokuba uKristu eve ubunzima, uzizalisile wenjenje.
19 Guqukani ke ngoko, nibuye, ukuze zicinywe izono zenu; ngokokuze afike amathuba okuphumza, evela ebusweni beNkosi;
20 ithume uYesu Kristu, owayevakalisiwe kuni ngenxa engaphambili;
21 lowo kumele okunene ukuba amazulu amamkele, kude kufike amaxesha okubuyiswa kweento zonke, awawathethayo uThixo ngomlomo wabo bonke abaprofeti bakhe abangcwele, kususela kunaphakade.
22 Kuba uMoses okunene wathi koobawo, INkosi uThixo wenu iya kunivelisela umprofeti kubazalwana benu, onjengam nje; ze nimve yena kuzo zonke izinto asukuba eya kuzithetha kuni.
23 Yothi ke yonke imiphefumlo engathanga imve loo mprofeti, ibhujiswe kuphele phakathi kwabantu.
24 Nabo ke bonke abaprofeti, bethabathela kuSamuweli nakwabalandelayo, bonke abathethileyo, bayixela loo mihla ngenxa engaphambili.
25 Nina ningoonyana babo abaprofeti, nabomnqophiso awanqophisana ngawo noobawo bethu uThixo, esithi kuAbraham, Yaye ke iya kusikeleleka embewini yakho yonke imizalwane yehlabathi.
26 Uthe uThixo, akuba emvusile umkhonzi wakhe uYesu, wamthuma kuni kuqala, ukuba anisikelele ngokuniguqula nonke ngabanye kwiinkohlakalo zenu.
