Kiri na Haritemi yenyene, kundu ali muzimu mukulu, angayiji tungululwa ku bukulu bwage. Ye na gweti úgayikumbwa mu poroveesi yoshi yeꞌHaziya, kiri na mu gandi mahanga gooshi.»
28 Yago magambo ga Demeteryo, mbu abaabo banaluganda bagayuvwe, banayami tondeera ukuyamiza, ti: «Haritemi waꞌBahefeso, ye mukulu!»
29 Lyeryo, kalya kaaya kooshi keꞌHefeso, kanayijulaga mwaꞌkamburugu. Abandu banagendi birigisha abandu babiri beꞌMakedoniya, Gaayo na Harisitariko, bwobâli balamiinwi na Pahulu. Banabayitungana bombi mu nangungubanga weꞌnyumba yo bâli kizi kuumana mwo.

32 Yabo bandu, kwo bâli kumaniri yaho, banatondeera ukuyogora bweneene! Ngiisi baguma banakizi yamiza kwabo-kwabo. Abingi baabo, batâli yiji kiri na íbyabakuumania.

35 Iri hakazindaga, umwandisi mukulu waꞌkaaya anayihangaana, halinde anabahoohya. Anababwira: «E bashosi beꞌHefeso! Mu mahanga gooshi, nyandi útayiji kwo kano kaaya ko kali mu langa uluheero lwoꞌmuzimu mukulu Haritemi? Kanali mwoꞌmugisi gwage, gulya úgukahona mwiꞌgulu. 36 Aahago! Mukwiriiri mutuuze. Hatanagire igambo lyo mugaagira ku ngungu.
37 «Yabo bandu bo mwaleeta hano, ndaakyo kindu kyo bazimba mu mbeero ziitu. Kiri noꞌmuzimu gwitu Haritemi yenyene, batamútusiri. 38 Tuli naꞌhandu hoꞌkukizi twira imaaja.
