2 Ngelilanga leMkhosi weliPhentekhoste,+ bonkhe bafundzi bebahlangene endzaweni yinye. 2 Kwatsi kusenjalo, kwevakala umsindvo uvela ezulwini unjengekuhhusha kwemoya lomkhulu, futsi wagcwala lendlu lebebahleli kuyo.+ 3 Kwabonakala lokunjengemalangabi lamise kwelulwimi, futsi nguloko naloko kwahlala etikwemuntfu ngamunye, 4 bonkhe base bagcwala umoya longcwele,+ bakhuluma ngetilwimi letehlukahlukene, njengobe nje umoya bewubenta kutsi bakhulume.+
5 Ngaleso sikhatsi, eJerusalema bekunemaJuda lebekesaba Nkulunkulu, avela kuto tonkhe tive temhlaba.+ 6 Kwatsi nakuvakala lomsindvo, sicumbi sebantfu sabutsana ndzawonye sididekile, ngobe nguloyo naloyo kuso bekeva labafundzi bakhuluma ngelulwimi lwakhe. 7 Lesicumbi samangala kakhulu satsi: “Labantfu labakhulumako akusibo yini baseGalile?+ 8 Pho kwentiwa yini kutsi ngamunye wetfu eve lulwimi lwakhe?* 9 Lapha kitsi kunalabavela ePhathiya, eMediya,+ e-Elamu,+ eMesophothamiya, eJudiya, eKhaphadosiya, ePhontusi, esifundzeni sase-Asiya,+ 10 eFrigiya, ePhamfiliya, eGibhithe, etigodzini taseLibhiya lengaseSirene, futsi kukhona netihambi letivela eRoma, letifaka ekhatsi emaJuda nalabo labagucukele enkholweni yebuJuda,+ 11 kanye nalabavela eKhrethe nase-Arabhiya. Sonkhe sibeva bakhuluma ngemisebenti lemangalisako yaNkulunkulu ngetilwimi takitsi.” 12 Bonkhe bebamangele futsi badidekile, ngako bakhuluma bodvwa batsi: “Kusho kutsini loku?” 13 Kodvwa labanye bahlekisa ngabo batsi: “Badzakiwe.”
14 Phetro wasukuma nebaphostoli labangu-11,+ waphakamisa livi watsi: “Nine bantfu baseJudiya nani nonkhe lenihlala eJerusalema, lalelisisani emavi ami. 15 Labantfu abakadzakwa njengobe nicabanga, ngobe kusengakashayi ngisho nensimbi yemfica ekuseni.* 16 Kunaloko, naku lokwashiwo ngumphrofethi Joweli: 17 ‘Nkulunkulu utsi: “Emalangeni ekugcina ngitawutfululela umoya wami* kuto tonkhe tinhlobo tebantfu, futsi emadvodzana enu nemadvodzakati enu atawuphrofetha, emajaha enu atawubona imibono, emadvodza lasakhulile emkhatsini wenu aphuphe emaphupho,+ 18 ngisho netinceku tami kanye netincekukati tami ngitatitfululela umoya wami ngalawo malanga, futsi titawuphrofetha.+ 19 Ngitawenta timangaliso ezulwini netibonakaliso emhlabeni: Ingati, umlilo kanye nekushunca kwentfutfu. 20 Lilanga litawuba mnyama nenyeti ibe yingati ngaphambi kwekutsi kufike lilanga laJehova* lelikhulu nalelibalulekile. 21 Wonkhe umuntfu lobita libito laJehova* utawusindziswa.”’+
22 “Nine bantfu baka-Israyeli, lalelani lamavi: Jesu waseNazaretha bekatfunywe nguNkulunkulu. Loku kwavetwa ngalokucacile ngemisebenti lemikhulu, ngetimangaliso, nangetibonakaliso Nkulunkulu latenta ngaye embikwenu,+ njengobe nje nati. 23 Lomuntfu wanikelwa ngekuvumelana nenjongo* yaNkulunkulu futsi Nkulunkulu wakwati loko kusengakenteki.+ Nine nambetsela elugodvweni nisebentisa toni futsi nambulala.+ 24 Kodvwa Nkulunkulu wamvusa+ ngekumkhulula ekufeni,* ngobe kufa bekute emandla ekuchubeka kumbophile.+ 25 Davide wakhuluma ngaye watsi: ‘Ngihlale ngicabanga ngaJehova* ngobe usesandleni sami sangesekudla, ngako angeke nginyakatiswe. 26 Ngako-ke inhlitiyo yami yajabula, nelulwimi lwami lwagcwala injabulo. Ngitawuhlala* ngikwetsemba, 27 ngobe ngeke uze ungishiye eThuneni,* futsi angeke uvumele kutsi lowetsembekile wakho abole.+ 28 Ungifundzisile indlela leholela ekuphileni, futsi kungemukela kwakho kutangenta ngijabule kakhulu.’+
29 “Banaketfu, ngivumeleni ngikhulume ngekukhululeka ngakhokho wetfu Davide, kutsi wafa futsi wangcwatjwa,+ nelithuna lakhe lisekhona ngisho nalamuhla. 30 Ngenca yekutsi bekangumphrofethi, futsi bekati kutsi Nkulunkulu wafunga kuye kutsi lomunye webantfwana bakhe* utawuhlala esihlalweni sakhe sebukhosi,+ 31 Davide wati ngekuvuswa kwaKhristu kusengakenteki futsi wakhuluma ngako kutsi bekangeke ashiywe eThuneni,* nekutsi inyama yakhe beyingeke ibole.*+ 32 Nkulunkulu wamvusa Jesu, futsi sonkhe sibofakazi+ baloko. 33 Njengobe aphakanyiselwa ngesekudla saNkulunkulu,+ futsi wemukela nemoya longcwele lowetsenjiswa nguBabe,+ usitfululele loku lenikubonako nalenikuvako. 34 Davide akazange enyukele ezulwini, kodvwa naku lakusho: ‘Jehova* watsi eNkhosini yami: “Hlala ngesekudla sami, 35 kuze kube ngulapho titsa takho ngitibeka ngephansi kwetinyawo takho.”’+ 36 Ngako bonkhe bantfu baka-Israyeli kufanele bati kutsi loJesu lenambulalela elugodvweni,+ Nkulunkulu umente iNkhosi+ futsi wamenta waba nguKhristu.”
37 Nabeva loku batsintseka etinhlitiyweni futsi bakhuluma naPhetro nalaba labanye baphostoli, batsi: “Banaketfu, kufanele senteni?” 38 Phetro watsi kubo: “Phendvukani,+ nibhajatiswe+ egameni laJesu Khristu kuze nitsetselelwe tono tenu,+ futsi nitawutfola sipho lesingumoya longcwele. 39 Ngobe lesetsembiso+ sitawutfolwa ngibo bonkhe labatawubitwa nguJehova* Nkulunkulu wetfu, kungaba ngini, nebantfwana benu, kanye nabo bonkhe labakhashane.”+ 40 Wachubeka abachazela kahle futsi abancenga atsi: “Sindziswani kulesitukulwane lesigwegwile.”+ 41 Ngako labo labawemukela ngenjabulo emavi akhe babhajatiswa,+ futsi ngalelolanga kwengeteka bantfu labangaba ngu-3 000 baba bafundzi.+ 42 Batimisela kuchubeka bafundza kubaphostoli, kuhlangana ndzawonye,* kudla ndzawonye+ kanye nekuthantaza.+
43 Bonkhe bantfu besaba njengobe baphostoli bebenta timangaliso netibonakaliso letinyenti.+ 44 Bonkhe lababa ngemakholwa bebahlangana ndzawonye, babelana konkhe lebebanako, 45 futsi batsengisa tonkhe tintfo tabo+ kanye nemhlaba wabo, base babela labanye leyo mali, kuye ngekutsi umuntfu ngamunye bekadzingani.+ 46 Malanga onkhe bebahlale bahlangana ngebunye ethempelini, bavakashelana, badla kudla bajabule kakhulu, futsi loku bebakwenta ngalokusuka enhlitiyweni. 47 Bebadvumisa Nkulunkulu futsi bemukelwa ngibo bonkhe bantfu. Onkhe malanga, Jehova* wachubeka engeta linani lalabo lebebasindziswa.+
