2 Ngemuva kweminyaka lengu-14, ngabuyela eJerusalema ngikanye naBhanabasi+ naThithusi.+ 2 Ngabuyela khona ngobe ngembulelwa kutsi kufanele ngiye khona, futsi ngetfula tindzaba letimnandzi lengitishumayela etiveni embikwemadvodza lebekahlonishwa kakhulu. Nanobe kunjalo, loku ngakwenta embikwawo kuphela kuze ngiciniseke kutsi angigijimeli lite nobe kutsi angizange ngigijimele lite. 3 Kepha ngisho naThithusi+ lebengihamba naye abazange bamphocelele kutsi asoke,+ nanobe bekangumGriki. 4 Kodvwa lenkinga yasuswa bazalwane mbumbulu labangena ngekunyenya+ njengetinhloli kuze baphatamise inkhululeko+ lesinayo ebunyeni naKhristu Jesu, khona batosenta tigcili tabo+— 5 asizange sibalalele nobe sititfobe kubo+ ngisho nesikhashana nje,* kuze liciniso letindzaba letimnandzi lihlale linani.
6 Kodvwa mayelana nalabo lebebatsatfwa njengalababalulekile+—kute lokusha lengikutfole kulawo madvodza lahlonishwa kakhulu. Ngisho nobe bekabantfu labanjani, loko akwenti mehluko kimi, ngobe Nkulunkulu akabuki lingephandle lemuntfu. 7 Esikhundleni saloko, ngesikhatsi babona kutsi bengiphatsiswe umsebenti wekumemetela tindzaba letimnandzi kulabangakasoki,+ njengobe naPhetro bekaphatsiswe wona kulabasokile 8 (ngobe Loyo lowanika Phetro emandla ekuba ngumphostoli kulabasokile, nami wanginika wona kubantfu betive),+ 9 futsi ngesikhatsi babona kutsi Nkulunkulu ungentele umusa lomkhulu,+ boJakobe,+ naKhefase* kanye naJohane lebebatsatfwa njengetinsika, babamba mine naBhanabasi+ ngesandla sangesekudla bakhombisa kutsi sitawusebenta* kanye nabo, kuze tsine siye etiveni, kodvwa bona baye kulabasokile. 10 Basicela kutsi sihlale sibakhumbula labeswele, futsi loku bengisolo ngitimisele kukwenta.+
11 Kodvwa ngesikhatsi Khefase*+ efika e-Antiyokhi,+ ngakhuluma naye* ngalokucondzile njengobe bekucaca kutsi wente liphutsa.* 12 Ngobe ngesikhatsi basengakefiki bantfu lebebavela kuJakobe,+ bekavame kudla nebantfu betive;+ kodvwa nabefika wayekela, wase uyatehlukanisa ngenca yekwesaba labo labasokile.+ 13 Onkhe lamanye emaJuda ahlanganyela naye kulokutentisa, kangangekutsi naBhanabasi wahambisana nabo kuko. 14 Ngesikhatsi ngibona kutsi bebangasahambi ngeliciniso letindzaba letimnandzi,+ ngakhuluma naKhefase* embikwabo bonkhe ngatsi: “Nangabe wena nanobe ungumJuda uphila njengebantfu betive, hhayi njengemaJuda, ungabacindzetela njani bantfu betive kutsi baphile ngekuvumelana nendlela yemaJuda?”+
15 Tsine lesingemaJuda ngekutalwa, futsi lesingasito toni letivela etiveni, 16 siyati kutsi umuntfu kutsiwa ulungile ngenca yekukholwa+ kuJesu Khristu,+ hhayi ngenca yekwenta imisebenti lefunwa ngumtsetfo. Ngako-ke sibe nekukholwa kuKhristu Jesu kuze kutsiwe silungile ngekukholwa kwetfu kuye, hhayi ngekwenta imisebenti lefunwa ngumtsetfo, ngobe kute umuntfu* lokutawutsiwa ulungile ngekwenta imisebenti lefunwa ngumtsetfo.+ 17 Ngako nangabe natsi sitfolakele sitoni nanobe besifuna kutsi kutsiwe silungile ngaKhristu, kusho kutsi Khristu usikhonti sesono yini? Cha! 18 Nangabe ngiphindze ngivusa tona letintfo lengake ngatibhidlita, ngikhombisa kutsi ngisephulamtsetfo. 19 Ngobe ngemtsetfo ngafa emtsetfweni,+ kuze ngiphile kuNkulunkulu. 20 Sengibetselwe naKhristu elugodvweni.+ Akusesimi lophilako,+ kodvwa nguKhristu lophila ebunyeni nami. Ecinisweni kuphila lengikuphila enyameni ngikuphila ngekukholwa eNdvodzaneni yaNkulunkulu,+ leyangitsandza futsi yatinikela ngenca yami.+ 21 Angiwali* umusa lomkhulu waNkulunkulu,+ ngobe nangabe kulunga kutfolakala ngemtsetfo, kusho kutsi Khristu wafela lite.+
