4 Kila Ligono la Kupumulila akotanayi nawu munyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi alingayi kuvakulukisa Vayawudi na Vagiliki.

Lakini Sila ni Timotheo bhobhahidili kuhoma Makedonia, Paulo asukumibhu ni Roho kubhashuhudila bhayahudi kujha Yesu ndo Kristu.
6 Nambu Vayawudi pavampingayi na kutumbula kumliga, mwene akakung'unda lububu lwa munyula zaki akavajovela, “Mwakayaga kwali mwavene, nene nihokili lepi. Na kutumbula hinu nikuvahambalila vandu vangali Vayawudi.”
Wakati bhayahudi bham'belili ni kumdhihakili, hivyo Paulo akung'uindi liguanda lya muene mbele jha bhene, ni kubhajobhela, “Damu jha jhomu na jhijhelayi panani pa mitu gha jhomu mwebhene; Nene nijhelepi ni hatia. Kuhomela henu ni kujhendelela, nikabhalotela mataifa.”
7 Kangi Pauli akawuka penapo na kuhamba kutama kunyumba ya mundu mmonga Mgiliki mweakumsadika Chapanga liina laki Tito Yusto nyumba yaki yavili papipi na nyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi.

8 Kilisipo chilongosi wa nyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi yula, mwene pamonga vandu va nyumba yaki vamsadiki Bambu, Vakolinto vamahele pevayuwini ujumbi wula vakasadika na kubatiziwa.

9 Ligono limonga kilu, Bambu akamjovela Pauli mumaono, “Ukoto kuyogopa, yendelela kukokosa changali kudenyeka mtima,
Bwana akan'jobhela Paulo pakilu kwa njela jha maono, “Usitil, lakini longelayi na usigudami.
10 Muni nene nivii pamonga na veve na kawaka mundu wa kulinga kukulemasa muni pamuji wenuwo vandu vamahele vavi upandi wangu.”
Kwani nene nijhe pamonga nabbi, naajhelepi jhaibetakukudhuru, maana nijhe ni bhanu bhingi katika mjiabho.”

Paulo atamili okhu kwa muda bhwa mwaka umonga ni miesi sita akajhaimanyisya lilobhi lya K'yara miongoni mwa bhene.
12 Nambu lukumbi Galio peavi chilongosi wa Akaya, ndi Vayawudi vakamzangila Pauli kwa pamonga na kumpeleka kulibanji la mihalu.
Lakini Gali bho abhombibhu mtawala bhwa Akaya, Bhayahudi bhakayema pamonga kinyume ni Paulo ni kumpeleka mbele jha kiti kya hukumu,
13 Vakajova “Timtakila mundu uyu ndava akuvakulukisa vandu vamuyupa Chapanga munjila yeyiyidakilana lepi na malagizu.”
Bhakajobha, “Munu ojho akabhashawishi bhanu kumwabudu K'yara kinyume kya sheria”
14 Pauli akona kuyangula, Galio akavajovela Vayawudi, “Myuwanila Vayawudi nyenye! Ngati kuvya chakaka lijambu lenili ngalavi la unyagaji amala uhakau nga nivayuwanili.
Bhwakati Paulo alondghe kujobha, gailo akabhajobhela Bhayahudi, Muenga Bhayahudi, kama ngalijhe likosa au bhuhalifu, ngajhijhe halali kubhashughulikila.
15 Nambu ngati ndava ya muhutanu wa malovi na mahina na mhilu winu, muhamula nyenye mwavene. Nene niganili lepi kuvya mhamula wa lijambu ili!”
Lakini kwandabha ndo maswali ghaghihusu malobhi ni mahina ni sheria sya muenga basi muhukumulayi mwe bhene. Nene ninoghelalepi kujha hakimu kwa habari jha mambo aghu.”
16 Ndi akavavinga kuhuma mu libanji la mihalu.
Galio akabhaamuru bhabhokayi mbele jha kiti kya hukumu,
17 Hinu vene vakamkamula Sostene chilongosi wa nyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi, vakamtova balapala palongolo ya libanji la mihalu. Nambu Galio nakutangatila nawu hati padebe.
Efyo, bhakan'kamula Sosthene ndongosighwa sinagogi, bhakantobha mbele jha kiti kya hukumu. Lakini Galio ajalilepi kya bhabhombili.
18 Pauli akayendelela kutama na valongo va ku Kolinto kwa magono gamahele. Kangi akavalaga akayingila muwatu kuhamba ku Silia pamonga na Plisika na Akula. Kenkelea kwenuko aketili mayunju gaki ndava amali kutimilisa chilapu chaki kwa Chapanga.
Paulo baada jha kutama pala kwa muda mrefu, akabhaleka ndugu ni kulota kwa meli Siria pamonga ni Prisila ni Akwila. Kabla jha kubhoka pa bandari, akaili njuili sya muene kwani ajhele alapili kujha mnadhiri.
19 Pavahikili ku Efeso ndi Pauli akavaleka Plisika na Akula, akahamba munyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi, akakotana na Vayawudi.
Bhebhafikili Efeso, Paulo akandeka Prisila ni Akwila pala lakini muene akajhingila mu sinagogi ni kujadili ni Bhayahudi.
20 Vamuyipili atama nawu palukumbi lutali, nambu nakuvayidakila.
Bhobhan'jobhili Paulo atama nabhu kwa muda mrefu muene abelili.
21 Nambu akalagana nawu peawukayi, akavajovela, “Ngati Chapanga aganili yati nibwela kavili.” Akawuka ku Efeso muwatu.
Lakini akabhoka kwa bhene akabhajobhela, “Nibetakukerebhuka kabhele kwa jhomu, ikajhiajhi ndo mapenzi gha K'yara. Baada jhe hapu, akabhoka kwa meli kuhoma Efeso.
22 Peahulwiki Kaisalia, Pauli akahamba pa Yelusalemu na kuvajambusa msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu. Kangi akahamba ku Antiokia.
Paulo bho atolili Kaisaria, akakuela kulota kujhemelela kanisa lya Antikia.
23 Ndi akatama kwenuko mu magono gadebe akayendelela na lugendu kupitila miji ya Galatia na Flugia avakangamalisa vamsadika voha.
Baada jha lutama kwa muda mrefu pala, Paulo akabhoka kupetela maeneo gha Galataia ni Frigia ni kubhapela muoyo bhanafunzi bhoha.
24 Magono gagago Myawudi mmonga liina laki Apolo mkolonjinji wa Alekisanda, ndi abwelili ku Efeso. Avi na luhala lwa kulongela na mweimanya bwina Mayandiku Gamsopi.
Myahudi mmonga jhaakutibhweghe Apolo, jhaahogoliki okhu Alexandria, ahidi Efeso. Ajhele ni ufasaha katika kulongela ni hodari ghwa majhandiku.
25 Mundu mwenuyo awuliwi njila ya Bambu, kuni mtima waki uvi heyuheyu akatumbula kudandaula na kuwula uchakaka malovi ga Yesu, nambu mwene amanyili nga ubatizu wa Yohani.
Apolo ajheajhelekesibhu kumafundisu gha Bwana. Kwa jinsi kyaajhe ni bidiii ku roho, alongili ni kumanyisya kwa usahihi, mamabo ghaaghakan'husu Yesu, ila amanyi tu ubatizo bhwa Yohana.
26 Mwene akatumbula kulongela kwa ukekesi munyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi, hinu Plisika na Akula pavamuyuwini vakamtola kuhamba nayu kunyumba yavi na kumuwula Njila ya Chapanga kwa uchakaka neju.
Apolo akajhanda kulongela kwa ujasiri mu mahekalu. Lakini Prisila ni Akwila bhobhapeliki bhabheki urafiki ni muene ni kunjelekesya juu jha njela sya K'yara kwa usahihi.
27 Apolo peaganili kuhamba ku Akaya, vamsadika va ku Efeso vakamkangamalisa mtima na kuvayandikila vamsadika vala vampokelayi. Peahikili kwenuko avatangatili neju vandu vevasadika vala kwa makakala ga ubwina wa Bambu.
Bho anoghila kubhoka kulota Akaya, bhalongomunu bhakampela muoyo nikubhalembela barua bhanafunzi bhabhajhe Akaya ili bhakabhayi kumpokela. Bhoafikilili kwa neema abhasaidili sana bhala bhabhakyeriri.
28 Ndi ayendalili kwa ukekesi kujovesana na kuvashinda Vayawudi pavandu ijova hotohoto mu Mayandiku Gamsopi kuvya Yesu ndi Kilisitu Msangula.
Kwa ngofu sya muene ni maarifa Apolo abhazidili Bhayahudi hadharani akajhailasya kupetela majhandiku gha kujha Yesu ndo Kristu.
