Mgbe ha nụrụ na ọ na-agwa ha okwu nʼasụsụ Hibru, ha deere duu karịa. Mgbe ọ sịrị,

17 “Mesan kɔɔ Yerusalem na merebɔ mpae wɔ asɔredan mu no,

ebe ọ na-agwa m, ‘Mee ngwa! Hapụ Jerusalem, nʼihi na ndị bi nʼala a agaghị anara ọgbụgba ama gị banyere m.’
19 “Mekae se, ‘Awurade, wɔn nyinaa nim pefee sɛ mekɔɔ hyiadan mu kɔkyekyeree asuafo boroo wɔn.

21 “Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me se, ‘Sɔre na kɔ, efisɛ mɛsoma wo akɔ akyirikyiri, amanamanmufo nkyɛn!’”
“Mgbe ahụ, ọ sịrị m, ‘Gawa; nʼihi na aga m ezipu gị ebe dị anya ijekwuru ndị mba ọzọ.’”
22 Bere a Paulo kae se wɔasoma no amanamanmufo nkyɛn pɛ na dɔm no fii ase teɛteɛɛ mu dennen se, “Munkum no! Ɔmfata sɛ ɔtena wiase!”
Ha ṅara ya ntị ruo ugbu a. Mgbe ahụ, ha niile tiri mkpu nʼotu olu sị, “Wepụnụ onye dị otu a nʼụwa! O kwesighị ka onye dị otu a dịrị ndụ!”

Ha tiri mkpu na-atụli uwe mgbokwasị ha elu, na-achilikwa aja nʼala na-efesasị ya ebe niile,
24 Roma sahene no hyɛɛ sɛ wɔmfa Paulo nkɔ aban mu nkɔbɔ no mmaa sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ɔbɛka nea enti a nnipa no nyinaa mpɛ sɛ wotie nʼasɛm no.
ọchịagha ahụ nyere iwu ka a kpụgaa ya nʼogige ndị agha, pịa ya ụtarị, ka eziokwu pụta ya nʼọnụ. Ọ chọrọ ịmata ihe mere ha ji eti mkpu otu a megide ya.
25 Bere a wɔkyekyeree no wiee a wɔrebɛbɔ no mmaa no, Paulo bisaa ɔsraani panyin a na ogyina hɔ no se, “Mowɔ ho kwan sɛ mobɔ Romani a wonnii nʼasɛm mmuu no fɔ no mmaa ana?”
Ma mgbe ha chịịrị ụdọ akpụkpọ kechaa ya, Pọl sịrị onye agha guzo ya nso, “Ọ bụ ihe ziri ezi nʼiwu na unu ga-eti nwa afọ Rom ihe, onye na-enweghị ikpe a mara ya?”
26 Bere a ɔsraani panyin no tee saa asɛm no, ɔkɔɔ ɔsahene no nkyɛn kobisaa no se, “Dɛn na wopɛ sɛ woyɛ yi? Onipa no yɛ Romani!”
Mgbe onye agha a nụrụ okwu a, o jekwuuru ọchịagha ahụ sị, “Gịnị ka ị na-aga ime? Nwoke a bụkwa onye Rom.”
27 Afei ɔsahene no kɔɔ Paulo nkyɛn kobisaa no se, “Woyɛ Romani ana?” Paulo buaa no se, “Yiw meyɛ Romani.”
Ọchịagha ahụ bịakwutere sị ya, “Gwa m, ị bụ onye Rom?” Ọ sịrị, “E.”
28 Ɔsahene no kae se, “Mituaa sika bebree na mede tɔɔ me Roma maniyɛ.” Paulo nso kae se, “Me de, wɔwoo me sɛ Romani.”
Ọchịagha ahụ zara, “ma o furu m ego dị ukwuu iji bụrụ onye Rom.” Ma Pọl sịrị, “Amụrụ m dịka nwa afọ ala a.”
29 Ntɛm ara, nnipa a na wɔrebebisa Paulo nsɛm no twee wɔn ho fii ne nkyɛn. Ɔsafohene no tee sɛ Paulo yɛ Romani no, osuroe sɛ wama wɔagu Paulo nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn.

30 Esiane sɛ na ɔsafohene no pɛ sɛ ohu nea enti a Yudafo no asɔre atia Paulo no nti, ade kyee no, ɔhyɛ ma woyii Paulo fii nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn mu. Ɔmaa asɔfo mpanyin ne agyinatufo no nyinaa hyiae. Afei ɔde Paulo kɔɔ se wɔnhwehwɛ nʼasɛm no mu.
Nʼechi ya, ebe ọ chọrọ ịmata ihe bụ isi okwu na ihe mere ndị Juu ji ebo ya ebubo, o nyere iwu ka ndịisi nchụaja na ndị ụlọ ikpe ha zukọọ. Mgbe ahụ, o dupụtara Pọl, mee ka o guzo nʼihu ha.
