8 Kodwa ngizahlala eEfesu kuze kufike iPentekoste;
Mbe nawe eninyanja Efeso Kukinga Pentekoste,
9 ngoba ngivulelwe umnyango omkhulu lolamandla, labaphikisayo banengi.

Omunu wona wona asiga kumugaya. Mumusakile mu mulugendo lwaye olwo mulembe, koleleki ati anyijeko. Kulwo kubha enimulindilila aje amwi na bhasu.
12 Njalo mayelana lomzalwane uApolosi, ngamkhuthaza kakhulu ukuze eze kini kanye labazalwane; kodwa kwakungeyisiyo intando yakhe lakanye ukuthi eze khathesi, kodwa uzakuza nxa eselethuba.
Woli okulubhana no wasu Apolo. Namukomesishe no kumutamo omwoyo muno okubhalibhatila emwe amwi na bhasu. Mbe nawe atendele kuja kwa woli. Nolwo kutyo, kajokuja akabhona okwamba.

15 Futhi ngiyalincenga bazalwane, liyayazi indlu kaStefana, ukuthi iyisithelo sokuqala seAkaya, lokuthi bazimisele ukusebenzela abangcwele;
Muimenyele inyumba ya Stefana. Mumenyele ati bhaliga bhali bhekilisha bho kwamba eyo Akaya, na ati bheteyeyo abhene mu bhufulubhendi bhwa abhekilisha. Mbe woli enibhelembelesha, bhamula bhasu na bhayala bhasu,

Na enikondelwa mukuja kwa Stefano, Fotunato, na Akiko. Bhemeleguyu anu emwe mwiile okubha.
