6 A Pauli bhakamumanyeje kuti nkumbi gumo gwa bhalukumbi bhala pugwaaliji gwa ashi Mashadukayo na guna gwa a Shimapalishayo. Bhai, gubhautiye lilobhe lyabho pa lukumbi pala bhalinkuti, “Ashapwanga nne Nampalishayo, mwana juka Mpalishayo, ngunaukumulwa kwa ligongo lya ngulupai ja yuka bhawilenje.”
7 Bhakabheleketeje genego, ashi Mapalishayo na ashi Mashadukayo gubhataukengenenje na shitamo gushigabhanishe ikundi ibhili.
8 Pabha ashi Mashadukayo bhakutinji kwakwa kuyuka kwa bhandunji bhawilenje, wala bhakwapinji ashimalaika bha a Nnungu wala ashimaoka, ikabheje ashi Mapalishayo bhanakulupalilanga yoweyo.

10 Mpwai gukapundeje, bhakulungwa bha ashimanjola gubhajogwepe a Pauli bhanapopotolwa na bhandunji bhala, kwa nneyo gubhaamulishenje ashimanjola bhakaashoyanje a Pauli kwa mashili pa lugwinjili pala, nikwajinjiya nnugwani lwa ashimanjola.
11 Pa shilo shakwe Bhakulungwa gubhaikopweye gubhajimi tome na a Pauli, gubhaabhalanjile, “Mwilume ntima pabha malinga shinshite ngong'ondela pa Yelushalemu pano, nneyo peyo nnapinjikwa kungong'ondela ku Loma.”
12 Kukasheje, Bhayaudi gubhatabhilenje shitabho kuti bhakalyanganga wala bhakapapilanga mpaka bhaaabhulaganje a Pauli.
13 Bhene bhandunji bhatabhilenje shene shitabhosho, pubhalinginji kupunda makumi nsheshe.
14 Bhai gubhapitengenenje kubhakulungwanji bha bhaabhishila na bhanangulungwa, gubhashitenje, “Uwe tushitabha shitabho kuti tunalye shoshowe mpaka twabhulaje a Pauli.
15 Kwa nneyo bhai, mmanganyanji na bhalukumbi mwaabhalanjilanje bhakulungwa bha bhakomana ngondo bhampeleshelanje a Pauli kwitembanga kuti nnapinganga kujimanya ngani jabho ukoto. Na uwe shitwabhulaje bhakanabhe bhandishila.”
16 Ikabheje mwipwagwabho a Pauli gwapilikene jene nganijo, gwapite jinjila nnugwani lwa ashimanjola mula gwabhalugulile a Pauli jene nganijo.
17 Penepo a Pauli gubhaashemile bhakulungwa bhamo bha ashimanjola gubhaabhalanjile, “Muntole aju nshandaju mumpeleshe ku bhakulungwa bha bhakomana ngondo shipali shindu shapinga kwaalugulila.”
18 Bhai, linjola jula ankutolaga nshanda jula gwampeleshe ku bhakulungwa bha bhaakomana ngondo, gwashite, “A Pauli bhatabhwilwe bhala bhashinkunnjema ninyuga nimpeleshe aju nshandaju kwenu mmwe pabha ashikola lilobhe lyapinga kunnugulila.”
19 Bhakulungwa bha bhakomana ngondo bhala gubhankamwile nkono nshanda jula, gubhapite najo kujika, gubhammushiye, “Upinga malanjila nndi?”
20 Jwalakwe gwashite, “Bhayaudi bhashilagana, malabhi bhannjuganje mmwe mwaapeleshe a Pauli ku lukumbi bhaitembanje kuti bhalukumbi bhanapinganga bhajimanyanje ukoto ngani jabho.
21 Ikabheje mmwe nnakunde pabha bhandunji bha punda makumi nsheshe bhanakwajubhililanga. Bhashilumbilanga kuti bhakalyanganga wala papila mpaka bhaabhulaganje a Pauli. Na nnaino bhalinginji tayali pilikana nkubheleketa bhuli.”
22 Bhakulungwa bha bhakomana ngondo gubhanneshile nshanda jula aijendele gubhannajile, anammalanjile mundu jojowe kuti ashikwaabhalanjila genego.
23 Bhai, bhakulungwa bha bhakomana ngondo bhala gubhaashemilenje bhakulungwanji bha manjola bhabhili gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Mwaabhikanje tayali ashimanjola mmia pabhili, bhaakwelanga palashi makumi shabha na ashimanjola mmia pabhili bha mapanga, bhajendangananje ku Kaishalia ikanabhe ishila shaa tatu ja shilo.
24 Gubhaabhalanjilenje bhabhikanje bhannyama tayali bha kwakweya a Pauli na bhaapelekanje kwa ulele kwa a Pelikishi, bhakulungwa bha ku Yudea.”
25 Bhakulungwa bha bhakomana ngondo bhala gubhajandishe bhaluwa nnei.
26 “Mmakulungwa a Pelikishi, shalamu! Nne a Kilaudiashi Lishiashi ngunakunjandishila.
27 “Bhayaudi bhashikunkamulanga jwene munduju na pubhalinginji tome na kummulaganga, ngapilikaneje kuti nshilambo jwa ku Loma gumbite na ashimanjola gunintapwile.
28 Nikumpeleka kulukumbi lwabhonji nkupinga nishimanye shiumilo shibhakunnugulanga jweneju.
29 Guniimanyi kuti ibhakunnugulanga ni ya mitau ja shalia jabhonji gubhapegwilwenje na a Musha, ikabheje nangashibhona shoshowe shakuntenda abhulagwe eu atabhwe.
30 Ngabhalanjilweje kuti Bhayaudi bhashilagananga kummulaga jwene munduju, shangupe ngunakumpeleshela mmwe, njikwaalajilanga bhakunnugulangabho, bhannugulanje kwenu mmwe.”
31 Bhai, ashimanjola gubhaatolilenje a Pauli malinga shibhalajilwenje, gubhaapelekenje shilo mpaka ku Antipatili.
32 Malabhi gakwe ashimanjola mia pabhili bhakwendangana na makongono bhala, gubhabhujilenje nikwalekanga bhakwendangana na palashi bhajendangananje na a Pauli.
33 Bhakaikanjeje ku Kaishalia, gubhaapelenje bhaluwa jila a Pelikishi bhakulungwa bha shilambo nikwabhika a Pauli mmakono gabho.
34 Bhakashomeje bhaluwa jila, gubhaabhushiyenje a Pauli bhakopweshe shilambo gani. Bhakabhalanjilweje kuti kubhakoposhele ku Kilikia,
35 gubhashite, “Shinimpilikane pushibhaikanje bhannugwilenjebho.” Kungai gubhalajile a Pauli bhabhishwe muulinda nnyumba ja uliwali ja a Elode.
