Kwasekusukuma abanye abesinagoge elithiwa ngelabaKhululwa, labeKurene labeAleksandriya, lakulabo abavela eKilikhiya leAsiya, baphikisana loStefane.
10 Nsombi balalilwa kumushinina, pakwinga Mushimu Uswepa ewalikumupa mano akwamba.
Kodwa babengelamandla okumelana lenhlakanipho loMoya ayekhuluma ngawo.
11 Lino balayungaula bantu nabambi kwambeti, bambengeti, “Twalamunyumfwa kacobola Mose ne Lesa.”
Basebefumbathisa amadoda athi: Simzwile ekhuluma amazwi ayinhlamba amelana loMozisi loNkulunkulu.
12 Neco, balakalalisha bantu, bamakulene Baciyuda, ne beshikwiyisha milawo ya Mose. Bonse pamo balamubukila Stefano, balamwikata ne kuya nendi ku nkuta inene ya Bayuda.
