IzEnzo 6

¹ Ngalezo zinsuku, abafundi banda, kwavela ukukhonona kwabekhuluma isiGreki ngamaHeberu, ngokuba abafelokazi bawo babenganakwa enkonzweni yezinsuku zonke.

² Abayishumi nambili base bebizela kubo uquqaba lwabafundi, bathi: “Akukuhle ukuba thina sishiye izwi likaNkulunkulu, sikhonze ematafuleni.

³ Ngakho-ke, bazalwane, zifuneleni phakathi kwenu amadoda ayisikhombisa anodumo oluhle, agcwele uMoya oNgcwele nokuhlakanipha, esingawabeka phezu kwalo msebenzi.

⁴ Kepha thina siyakukhuthalela ukukhuleka, nasenkonzweni yezwi.

⁵ Lelizwi lathokozisa ixuku lonke, basebekhetha uStefane, indoda egcwele ukholo loMoya oNgcwele, loFiliphu, loProkoro, loNikanori, loTimoni, loParmena, loNikolasi umproselithe waseAntiyoki;

⁶ ababeka phambi kwabaphostoli; sebekhulekile babeka izandla phezu kwabo.

⁷ Lelizwi likaNkulunkulu landa; isibalo sabafundi sanda kakhulu eJerusalema; nesixuku esikhulu sabapristi salalela ukholo.

⁸ Kepha uStefanu egcwele ukholo namandla wenza izimangaliso nezimangaliso ezinkulu phakathi kwabantu.

⁹ Kwasekusukuma abathile besinagoge elithiwa elabaKhululwa, nabaseKhurene, nabase-Aleksandriya, nabavela eKhilikhiya nase-Asiya, baphikisana noStefanu;

¹⁰ Kodwa babengelakho ukumelana lokuhlakanipha loMoya ayekhuluma ngaye.

¹¹ Khona bakhohlisa amadoda athi: Simzwile ekhuluma amazwi enhlamba ngoMozisi langoNkulunkulu.

¹² Basebevusa abantu labadala lababhali, basebesondela kuye, bambamba, bamusa emphakathini;

¹³ Base bemisa ofakazi bamanga abathi: “Lona kayeki ukukhuluma amazwi ayinhlamba ngale ndawo engcwele nangomthetho;

¹⁴ Ngokuba simzwile ethi loJesu waseNazaretha uzakuchitha le ndawo, aguqule amasiko uMose asinika wona.

¹⁵ Bonke ababehlezi emphakathini bamgqolozela, babona ubuso bakhe kungathi ubuso bengelosi.
