Gubhaabhushiyenje, “Nkakulupalilanjeje mwaposhelenje Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo?” Bhalabhonji gubhajangwilenje, “Ntape! Numbe tukanabhepilikana kuti apali Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo.”
3 Paulusi abati, “Linu mubakolobezwa muchinzi?” Ni chibati, “Munkolobezo ya Joani,
Kwa nneyo a Pauli gubhaabhushiyenje, “Igala mwabhatishwenje ubhatisho gwashi?” Gubhaajangwilenje, “Ubhatisho gwa a Yowana.”

5 Bantu habazuwa bulyo, nibakolobezwa mwizina lya Simwine Jesu.
Bhakapilikananjeje genego, gubhabhatishwenje kwa lina lya Bhakulungwa a Yeshu.
6 Imi linu Paulusi habatula mayanza hewulu, Luhuho Lujolola nichilwabenjila mi nibawamba mundimi zisiyenesiyene mi nibatanikiza zikezite.

7 Kuhindilila bonse ibali bakwame babali kulikana ikumi ni bobele.
Pubhalinginji bhandunji bhanabhalume kuishila likumi limo na bhabhili.
8 Paulusi nenjila mwisinagoge mi nawamba chabundume munako ikwanisa myezi yotatwe. Abaetelele ziambantu ni ku kutolokla bantu kuti bazuwisise kuamana nimubuso we Ireeza.
Kwa myei jitatu a Pauli bhatendaga jinjila nshinagogi, bhalibheleketa gwangali bhoga, bhalibhuyana na bhandunji na bhalikwaakwiyanga ga Ukulungwa gwa a Nnungu.
9 Nihaike majuda kana babakuzuwisisa nikusatwaliza cibatanga ku wambi zivi ni kulyefula Kreste. Paulusi cabasiya nikuzwila habusu nibabazumini. Catanga kuwamba izuba nizuba munzubo yakulutila ya Tyrannus.
Ikabheje bhananji gubhataukenje, gubhakanilenje kukulupalila, gubhatandwibhenje kubheleketa yangali ya mmbone ga mpanda gwa Bhakulungwa pa lugwinjili. Penepo a Pauli gubhajabhwile nikwalekanga, gubhaatolilenje kunyenje bhaajiganywa bhabho gubhakungulwishe nabhonji na bhuyana na bhandunji kila lyubha nnyumba jimo ja shelemala jika mundu jumo, lina lyakwe Tilanushi.
10 Abazwili habusu kuwamba zilimo zobele kuti mane nibantu bekala mwa Asia, Judea ni mwa Greek bazuwe linzwi lye Ireeza.
Gubhapundile kutenda nneyo kwa yaka ibhili mpaka bhashilambo bhowe bha ku Ashia na Bhayaudi na Bhagiliki, gubhapilikenenje lilobhe lya Bhakulungwa.
11 Ireeza aba kupanga zimpangaliko zijolola ca mayanza a Paulusi,
A Nnungu gubhatendile ilapo yapunda kupitila a Pauli.
12 mane ni balwala babali kuhola, Niluhuho lubilala luba kuzwa kubali, Habahinda kataulo ni ka apron hamubili wa Paulusi.
Bhandunji bhatendaga tolanga itambaa ya kwiungutila matukuta na nngubho ya a Pauli, nipeleka kubhalwelenji, nilamiywanga ilwele yabhonji na bhakwetenje maoka nipata kuleshelelwa.
13 Kubena Majuda baba likwina mulieto lya kuyabuyenda muzilalo kulola babahindi izina lya Jesu kulisebelisa mubasakila abobene, Baba kukabuiwamba kubantu bana bena luhuho lubilala feela; Cibawamba, “Nimilaela cha Jesu yabali kuwambiwa kwa Paulusi kuti muyende.”
Bhayaudi bhananji bhatendaga pitangana ako na koko pita kwaashoyanga bhandunji maoka, gubhalinjilenje kulugula lina lya Bhakulungwa a Yeshu kubhandunji bha shikilwanga maoka, bhalinkutinji, “Ngunakunng'amulishanga kwa lina lya a Yeshu bhaalunguywa na a Pauli.”

Gakapiteje genego, a Pauli gubhatumbilile muntima gwabho kwenda ku Yelushalemu kupitila ku Makedonia na ku Akaya. Gubhashite, “Nng'ikaga kweneko ngunapinga ngakubhone ku Loma.”

Kungai bhaajandika bha shilambo gubhakombwele kwaapumuyanga, gubhaalugulilenje, “Mmashilambo bha pa Epesho, kila mundu amumanyi kuti shilambo sha Epesho shino ni nkugoya jwa nyumba jika nnungu Atemi na nkugoya jwa shindu shigwile kukopoka kunnungu.
36 Hamubona izi zintu zipangahala, muswanela kutontola niku sahwelela zintu.
