16 “Madoda, bazalwana, yayimele yenzeke into awaqhutywa ngumoya oyingcwele ukuba ayithethe uDavide ngoYudas,+ owakhokela abo babamba uYesu.+ 17 Kaloku wayengomnye wethu,+ ekhethiwe ukuba naye awenze lo msebenzi. 18 (Le ndoda yathenga umhlaba ngemali eyayifumana ngenxa yobubi eyabenzayo,+ yaza yayokuwa ngentloko, yadlabhuka umzimba,* athi saa onke amathumbu ayo.+ 19 Le nto yaziwa ngabo bonke abantu abahlala eYerusalem, kangangokuba loo mhlaba wabizwa ngolwimi lwabo ngokuba yiAkeldama, oko kukuthi, “uMhlaba Wegazi.”) 20 Kuba kubhaliwe kwincwadi yeeNdumiso kwathiwa, ‘Indawo yakhe yokuhlala mayingabi namntu, ingahlali mntu,’+ kwaza kwathiwa, ‘Masithathwe ngomnye umntu isikhundla sakhe.’*+
