Sathi sesizehlukanise kubo ngobuhlungu, sawela ulwandle saqonda nta eKhosi. Ngosuku olulandelayo saya eRodi, sasuka khona saya ePhathara.
2 Ni kweleko twajisimene ngalaŵa jekulungwa jijajombokaga kwaula ku Foinike, twakwesile ni kwendelechela ni ulendo.

Sayithi tshazi iSiphrasi, sedlula ngeningizimu kwayo, saya e-Asiriya. Sakhuphukela eThire lapho umkhumbi wethu wawuzakwethula khona umthwalo wawo.
4 Kweleko twaasimene ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Che Yesu, ni twatemi pamo ni ŵanyawo chijuma chimo. Kwa machili ga Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵanchondelele che Paolo kuti akajaula ku Yelusalemu.
Safumana abafundi khona, sahlala labo insuku eziyisikhombisa. Baholwa nguMoya ukuthi bamncenge uPhawuli ukuthi angayi eJerusalema.
5 Nambo pikamasile katema ka kutama ni ŵanyawo, twajendelechele ni ulendo wetu. Ŵandu wose pamo ni achiŵankwawo ni achiŵana ŵao ŵatupechesye mpaka paasa musi. Pitwaiche ku mbwani twatindiŵele ŵanawose ni kwapopela Akunnungu.

6 Nipele twalangene, noweji twakwesile mu ngalaŵa jekulungwa ni ŵanyawo ŵausile mmangwao.
Sesivalelisene, sangena emkhunjini, bona babuyela emakhaya.
7 Kutyochela ku Tilo twajendelechele ni ulendo wetu mpaka twaiche ku Tolemaisi, ni kweleko twajawile kukwakomasya ŵakukulupilila achinjetu, twatemi nawo kwa lyuŵa limo.
Saqhubeka ngohambo lwethu sisuka eThire sayakhuphukela ePhetholemayi, lapho sabingelela abazalwane, sahlala labo usuku lonke.
8 Malaŵi jakwe twajendelechele ni ulendo ni kwika ku Kaisalia. Ni kweleko twajawile ku nyuumba ji che Filipo jwakulalichila Ngani Jambone. Jwelejo ŵaliji jumo jwa aŵala saba ŵaŵasagulikwe ku Yelusalemu kula.
Sasuka ngelanga elilandelayo safika eKhesariya sayahlala endlini kaFiliphu umvangeli, engomunye wabayisiKhombisa.
9 Mundu jo ŵakwete achiŵaliŵalipe ncheche ŵaŵalondolaga utenga wa Akunnungu.
Wayelamadodakazi amane angendanga njalo ephrofitha.
10 Pitwatemi kweleko moŵa gampepe ŵaiche jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu jumo kutyochela ku Yudea liina lyakwe che Agabo.
Sesihlale insuku ezimbalwa kwafika umphrofethi owayethiwa ngu-Agabhasi evela eJudiya.
11 Ni ŵaiche pitwaliji, ŵaujigele nkaanda u che Paolo ni ŵalitaŵile mmakono ni makongolo ni kuti, “Mbumu jwa Akunnungu akuti, ‘Ŵayahudi ŵa ku Yelusalemu kula chantaŵe nsyene nkaanda wu kwanti nnyi ni kunjausya mmakono ga ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi.’”
Weza kithi, wathatha ibhanti likaPhawuli, wazibopha izandla lezinyawo zakhe ngalo, wathi, “UMoya oNgcwele uthi, ‘Ngayonale indlela amaJuda aseJerusalema azabopha umninibhanti leli abesemnikela kwabeZizwe.’”
12 Patwapilikene yeleyo, uweji ni ŵandu ŵane ŵaŵaliji pepala twachondelele che Paolo kuti akajaula ku Yelusalemu.
Sathi sikuzwa lokhu sonke labantu bakhonapho sancengana loPhawuli ukuthi angayi eJerusalema.
13 Nambo che Paolo nsyene ŵajanjile, “Ana nkusaka kupanganya chichi? Nkusaka kuusupusya ntima wangu ni misosi jenu? Ndili chile ngaŵa kutaŵikwa pe ku Yelusalemu kula, nambo atamuno kuwa kwa ligongo lya Ambuje Che Yesu.”
UPhawuli waphendula wathi, “Likhalelani lingidabula inhliziyo yami na? Kangilungelanga ukubotshwa kuphela, kodwa lokufa eJerusalema ngifela ibizo leNkosi uJesu.”
14 Paŵakanile kutupilikanila twannesile nikuti, “Chakusaka Ambuje chitendekwe!”
Kwathi ngoba engancengeki sadela sathi, “Mayenzeke intando yeNkosi.”
15 Pitwatemi pepala moŵa gampepe, twataŵile misigo jetu ni twajendelechele ni ulendo wa ku Yelusalemu.
Ngemva kwalokhu, salungisa sasesisiya eJerusalema.
16 Ŵakulijiganya ŵampepe ŵa ku Kaisalia kula ŵalongene ni uweji, ni ŵatupechesye ku nyuumba ji che Mnasoni kutwajile kukutama ni jwelejo moŵa gampepe. Che Mnasoni ŵaliji mundu jwa ku Kupulo ni juŵaliji jwakukulupilila jwa kalakala.
Abafundi abathile abaseKhesariya basiphelekezela basisa emzini kaMnasoni lapho esasizahlala khona. Wayeyindoda edabuka eSiphrasi, engomunye wabafundi bakuqala.
17 Patwaiche ku Yelusalemu, ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Che Yesu achinjetu ŵa kweleko ŵatupochele uchenene nnope.
Ekufikeni kwethu eJerusalema abazalwane basamukela ngokuthokoza.
18 Malaŵi jakwe che Paolo ŵalongene ni uweji kukwakomasya che Yakobo, achachekulu wose ŵa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Che Yesu ŵa kweleko ŵaliji palapala.
Ngosuku olulandelayo uPhawuli lathi sonke sahamba ukuyabona uJakhobe, bonke abadala babekhona.
19 Patwamasile kwakomasya, che Paolo ŵatandite kwasalila yanayose nkati iŵaitesile Akunnungu kwa masengo ga che Paolo kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi.
UPhawuli wababingelela, wabika ngokugcweleyo konke uNkulunkulu ayekwenzile kwabeZizwe ngokusebenza kwakhe.
20 Ŵandu ŵala paŵapilikene yeleyo ŵaakusisye Akunnungu. Nipele ŵansalile che Paolo, “Nlongo njetu, nkukombola kuwona kuti kwana mianda ja Ŵayahudi aŵele ŵakukulupilila sambano ni wose akulimbila kugakamulichisya Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa.
Bathi sebekuzwile lokhu bamdumisa uNkulunkulu. Ngakho basebesithi kuPhawuli, “Uyabona mzalwane ukuthi izinkulungwane ezinengi zamaJuda sezikholiwe njalo wonke atshisekela umlayo.
21 Apilikene kuti alakwe nkwajiganya Ŵayahudi ŵakutama pasikati ja ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi anagakamulisye Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa, ni mwasalile akaumbasya ŵanache ŵao namose kugakamulichisya masyoŵelo ga Ŵayahudi.
Sebetshelwe ukuthi wena ufundisa wonke amaJuda ahlala phakathi kwabeZizwe ukuthi afulathele uMosi, ubatshela ukuthi angasoki abantwababo lokuthi angalandeli amasiko ethu.
22 Nambi chiiŵe uli? Isyene ŵandu chapilikane kuti nnyiche.
Pho senzeni? Ngeqiniso bazakuzwa ukuthi usufikile,
23 Mbaya ntendekanye chitukunsalila uwe. Tukwete achalume ncheche pelepa ŵaŵataŵile nasili paujo pa Akunnungu.
ngakho yenza lokhu esikutshela khona. Kulamadoda amane phakathi kwethu asenze isifungo.
24 Nliwanganye ni ŵanyawo mu kupopela kwa kuliswejesya, nlipe ntengo waukusachilwa kwa ŵanyamwe wose, nipele ŵandu wo amyolekwe umbo. Kwakutenda yeleyo ŵandu wose chamanyilile kuti ngani siŵasipilikene syo nkati alakwe nganisiŵa sisyene nomwe mwasyene nkugakamulisya Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa.
Hamba lawo amadoda la, ubambisane lawo emkhutsheni wokuzihlambulula, uwabhadalele izindleko zawo zakhona ukuze aphuce amakhanda awo. Ngakho umuntu wonke uzakwazi ukuthi akulaqiniso kulimibiko ngawe, kodwa babone ukuthi wena ngokwakho uphila ngokulandela umlayo.
25 Yankati ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi ŵaŵakulupilile Che Yesu, uweji twalembele chikalata ni kwasalila itwilamwile ni kwapelechela, chachikuti, akalya chachili chose chetaje mbopesi sya minungu ja unami, ni akalya miasi, ni akalya nyama ja chinyama chepopotolwe ni aleche chikululu.”
AbeZizwe bona abakholwayo sesibalobele ngesinqumo sethu ukuthi kabaxwaye ukudla okunikelwe ezithombeni, bangadli ububende, lenyama yenyamazana ekhanyiweyo lokuhlobonga.”
26 Nipele malaŵi jakwe che Paolo ŵaajigele ŵandu ŵala ni kupopela kwa kuliswejesya pamo nawo. Nipele ŵajinjile pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu kukusala mbesi ja moŵa gakuliswejesya ni yankati mbopesi ja malipilo jichijityosyekwe kwaligongo lya jwalijose mwa ŵanyawo.
Ngosuku olulandelayo uPhawuli wawathatha lawomadoda wayazihlambulula kanye lawo. Wasesiya ethempelini ukuyakwazisa ngosuku lokuphela kwensuku zokuhlambulula lokuthi umnikelo walowo lalowo wabo wawuzakwenziwa nini.
27 Moŵa nsano ni gaŵili gala gachiŵandichilaga kumala, Ŵayahudi ŵaŵakopochele ku Asia ŵambweni che Paolo ali pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu. Nipele ŵaatesile ŵandu wose ŵaachime che Paolo ni ŵankamwile,
Kwathi lezinsuku eziyisikhombisa sezizaphela, amaJuda athile esifunda sase-Ezhiya abona uPhawuli ethempelini. Alidunga lonke ixuku ambamba
28 achinyanyisyaga, “Ŵanyamwe Ŵaisilaeli, kuntukamusye! Mundu ju ni jwejula jwakwajiganya achalume wose indu yakukanilana ni Ŵaisilaeli pamo ni Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa ni Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ji. Ni sooni ŵajinjisye Ŵagiliki pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ni kupasakasya peuto papaswela pa.”
ehlaba umkhosi esithi, “Madoda ako-Israyeli; sibambiseni! Yiyo le indoda efundisa abantu bonke ezindaweni zonke okuphambene labantu bakithi lomlayo wakithi kanye lendawo le. Ngaphandle kwalokho, usengenise amaGrikhi emagumeni ethempeli wangcolisa indawo le eNgcwele.”
29 Ŵatite yeleyo ligongo ŵambweni che Tilofimo mundu jwa ku Efeso, mu musi, ali pamo ni che Paolo ni ŵaganisisye kuti che Paolo ŵanjinjisye pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu.
(Mandulo babebone uThrofimasi wase-Efesu edolobheni eloPhawuli basebekhumbula ukuthi uPhawuli wayeze laye emagumeni ethempeli.)
30 Nipele musi wose wagumbele utindiganyo ni ŵaiche ŵandu kutyochela mbande syose kuti ŵaakamule che Paolo, ŵakwekwelemye ni kwakoposya pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, ni papopo ŵaugele minango ja Nyuumba ja Akunnungu.
Idolobho lonke laphithizela, abantu beza begijima beqhamuka inxa zonke. Bamdumela uPhawuli bamhudula bemsusa ethempelini, amasango alo ahle avalwa.
31 Ŵaliŵisile chile kuti ŵaulaje, nambo ngani jo japikaniche kwa jwankulu jwa ŵangondo lichila ŵa Chiloma kuti Yelusalemu jose jili tametame.
Bathi besazama ukumbulala, umbiko wafika kumlawuli wamabutho amaRoma ukuthi idolobho lonke laseJerusalema laseliphithizela.
32 Pangakaŵa jwankulu jwa ŵangondo mia moja jula ŵaajigele ŵangondo ŵakwe ni achakulu ŵao ni ŵautuchile ku mpingo wa ŵandu kula. Ni ŵanyawo paŵammweni jwankulu jo ni ŵangondo ŵakwe ŵalesile kumputa che Paolo.
Khonokho nje wathatha abanye abaphathi kanye lamabutho wagijimela esiphithiphithini leso. Kwathi labo ababevusa uthuli bebona umlawuli lamabutho akhe bema ukutshaya uPhawuli.
33 Nipele jwankulu jwa ŵangondo jula ŵanjaulile che Paolo, ŵankamwile ni kulamula kuti ataŵikwe minyolo jiŵili. Ni ŵausisye achitiji, “Ana ncheni jweleju, nombe atesile chichi?”
Umlawuli weza wafika wambopha wathi kabotshwe ngamaketane amabili. Wasembuza ukuthi wayengubani lokuthi wayoneni.
34 Ŵane ŵaali mu mpingo wa ŵandu mula ŵagumilangaga, ŵane achi ni ŵane acho. Ligongo lya wele utinda wo, jwankulu jwa ŵangondo jula nganakombola kugamanyilila magambo gasyenesyene. Nipele ŵalamwile ŵangondo ŵala kuti ŵajigale che Paolo ni kunjausya mu likome.
Abathile exukwini bamemeza lokhu, abanye bamemeza okunye, kwasekusithi ngoba umlawuli engalizwa iqiniso ngenxa yokuxokozela waselaya ukuthi uPhawuli kasiwe enkambeni yamabutho.
35 Che Paolo paŵaiche pakukwelela kwinjilila nkati, ŵangondo ŵannyakwile ligongo lya utindiganyo wa ŵandu.
Esefikile ezinyathelweni zokuqansela endlini, abantu baphithizela ngamandla waze wathwalwa ngamabutho.
36 Mpingo wekulungwa wa ŵandu ŵakuiye achinyanyisyaga, “Mwaulaje!”
Ixuku elalilandela laphikelela limemeza lisithi, “Msusele amanqe!”
37 Paŵanjinjisyaga mu likome, che Paolo ŵanchondelele jwankulu jwa ŵangondo mia moja jula achitiji, “Ana ngukombola kuŵecheta chindu nomwe?” Jwankulu jula ŵajanjile, “Ana nkumanyilila kuŵecheta Chigiliki?
Amabutho esathi amngenisa ngaphakathi, uPhawuli wacela kumlawuli wathi, “Ngingaba lelizwi lawe na?” Yena waphendula wathi, “Uyasikhuluma yini isiGrikhi?
38 Ana mmweji ngati Mmisili jumwachisisye ŵandu atindiganye ni kwalongosya ŵakuulaga elufu nne ŵala mpaka mwipululu?”
Kawusuye yini umGibhithe owaqala umvukela, wakhokhela izinkulungwane ezine zamathekulambuso enkangala?”
39 Che Paolo ŵajanjile, “Ngwamba! Uneji ndili Myahudi, jumbagwilwe ku Taso, musi wa ku Kilikia, uneji jwa musi waumanyiche nnope. Choonde, munyitichisye mechete ni ŵandu ŵa.”
UPhawuli waphendula wathi, “NgingumJuda waseThasasi eSilisiya, isakhamuzi sedolobho elihloniphekayo. Ngicela ukuthi kengikhulume labantu laba.”
40 Jwankulu jula ŵajitichisye, nipele che Paolo ŵajimi pakukwelela pala, ŵagolwesye nkono kwamyalasya ŵandu ŵala, ni ŵandu ŵala ŵamyalele ni ŵatandite kuŵecheta nawo Mchiebulania.
Esethole imvumo kumlawuli, uPhawuli wema ezinyathelweni zokuqansela endlini wathulisa ixuku ngesandla. Kwathi bonke sebethule wakhuluma kubo ngesiHebheru wathi,
