1.

Ke kaloku ngaloo mihla, bakubon’ ukuba bayanda abafundi, kwabakho ukukrokra kwawesiGrike amaYuda ngakwawesiHebhere, ngokuba abahlolokazi bawo babesilela ekulungiselelweni kwemihla ngemihla.

2.

Bathe ke abalishumi elinababini bawubizela kubo umhlambi wabafundi, bathi, Akukholekile ukuba thina silishiye ilizwi likaThixo, silungiselele ezitafileni.

3.

Khangelani ngoko, bazalwana, amadoda kuni abe sixhenxe, angqinelwe ukulunga, ezele nguMoya oyiNgcwele nabubulumko, esiya kuwamisela lo msebenzi;

4.

ke thina siya kuzingisa ekuthandazeni nasekulungiseleleni ilizwi.

5.

Lakholeka ilizwi elo emehlweni omhlambi lowo wonke; banyula uStefano, indoda ezele lukholo nanguMoya oyiNgcwele, noFilipu, noProkoro, noNikanore, noTimon, noParmena, noNikolawo wakwa-Antiyokwe owa bengene ebuYudeni:

6.

ababamisayo emehlweni abapostile; bathi bakuthandaza, bazibeka izandla phezu kwabo.

7.

Laye liya likhula ilizwi likaThixo, liya lisanda kakhulu inani labafundi eYerusalem; laye neqela elikhulu lababingeleli lilululamela ukholo.

8.

Ke kaloku uStefano, ezele lukholo nangamandla, wayesenza izimanga nemiqondiso emikhulu phakathi kwabantu.

9.

Kwesuka ke abathile basesikhungwini ekuthiwa sesabaKhululwa, nabaseKirene, nabakwa-Alesandire, nabathile belaseKiliki, nabelaseAsiya, bephikisana noStefano;

10.

ababa namandla akumelana nabo ubulumko noMoya, awayethetha ngaye.

11.

Kwakuba njalo, banyebelezisa amadoda awathi, Simve ethetha amazwi okunyelisa uMoses noThixo.

12.

Kanjalo babahlokohla abantu, kwanamadoda amakhulu nababhali; baza bemfikele bamthi hlasi, bamsa ematyaleni amakhulu.

13.

Bamisa namangqina obuxoki, awathi, Lo mntu akayeki ukuthetha amazwi okunyelisa indawo engcwele nomthetho;

14.

kuba simve esithi, UYesu waseNazarete lo uya kuyichitha le ndawo, awenze wambi amasiko awawanikela kuthi uMoses.

15.

Bonke ababehleli entlanganisweni yamatyala, beqwalasele kuye, babubona ubuso bakhe, ngathi bubuso besithunywa sezulu.
