Katepu pa Paulu kuwona maonu aga, tulitanditi kugenda Makedoniya pota kusherewa, tuwera na nakaka handa Mlungu katushema tuwabweleri shisoweru shiwagira.

Muwamu wa walii yawatupikiniriti kaweriti mdala yumu mguwira Mlungu yawamshema Lidiya mwenikaya gwa Tuatira, mweni kaweriti kankuwuza nguwu za shitani za langi ya zambalawu. Mtuwa kavuguliti moyu gwakuwi ata kaviyanga visoweru vilii Paulu vyakaweriti katakula.
15 Akati abhabhatidzwa iye neveimba yake, vakatikoka kumba kwake akati, “Kana muchiona kuti ndiri mutendi muna She, uyaiwo mugare kumba kwangu.” Akatikumbirisa tikatenda.
Shakapanu yomberi pamuhera na wantu wa numba yakuwi wabatizwa. Na yomberi katuluwa pakatakula, “Payiwera mjimira nakaka handa numjimira Mtuwa, mwizi ukaya kwaneni mlikali.” Katuhimiziya tugendi.

Wankufunda shitiba sheni twenga wenikaya wa Rumi tuluusiwa ndiri kushijimira pota kushifuta.”
22 Ungano yakabatana pakurwisa Pauro naSirasi, uye vatongi vakarayira kuti nguo dzavo dzibvarurwe uye kuti varohwe.
Shipinga sha wantu shingiriti na womberi, shiwakomanga. Na watoza walii wawavula nguwa zawu kwa likakala, wahimiziya wasyatangwi viboku.
