Nkuyingingire waliha, onyunviirize buzira kuluha.

4 «aBayaahudi booshi bayinji gurhe nalamire akalamo kaani gurhengera ndi mwana omu gihugo chaani n'omu gishagala ch'eYerusaleema. 5 Banyinji gurhengera miira, n'akaba bashondere, bakanahamiiriza oku nakulikiraga emigenzo yooshi y'echigusho ch'aBafarisaayo. Abo Bafarisaayo bo banagihangaana looshi gukulikira amarhegeko mooshi m'edini ly'ekiyaahudi, kulusha abandi booshi. 6 Leero zeene ndi nachiirwa olushinja, bulaala nahirire obulangaalire bwani omu chilagaane Nnamahanga alaganyaga bashookuluza beerhu. 7 Chiro n'abantu b'emilala yeerhu ekumi n'ebiri, nabo balangaliire oku Nnamahanga abayeenezeza echiila chilagaane. Cho girhumire bali bamukolera n'obushiru obudufu n'ezuuba. Waliha mwami, oboola bulangaalire bo burhumire aBayaahudi bansidaka zeene! 8 Girhumire mwabo mwakengeera oku birhagalikeene Nnamahanga afuule abafu?

9 «Chiro naani nyenyine, nankengeera oku bimpemere nkoleese enjira zooshi, omu kulwisa eziino lya Yeesu w'eNazareeti. 10 Ebyoola binajiraga eYerusaleema.

N'amango babayirhaga, naani naliyemeere oku balikwaneene kuyirhwa. 11 Nalemaga naaja omu masinagoogi mooshi kubahana n'okubaseeza badukange eziino lya Yeesu. N'elugulu w'ogukaliha bweneene, nagendaga naaja kubalibuza n'omu bindi bishagala bya hale.»

12 Paawulo ashuba kuderha ntya: «Lusiku luguma naliiri omu njira, eyi ndi naaja kulibuza abemeezi omu gishagala ch'eDamasiki, gukulikirana n'obuhashe n'amarhegeko m'abakulu b'abadaahwa. 13 Waliha mwami, yabeere midi eyi ndi mw'eyoola njira, nabona obumoleke bwarhenga empingu.

Nayunva omulenge omu lulimi lw'eGiheburaniya gwambwira ntya: ‹Saawulo, Saawulo, girhumire wandibuza? Oli wachiilibuza busha kulaala enka eshuurhanga olubaale oku songi ly'enkoni y'omungere wa yo!› 15 Naja nabaza ntya: ‹Nnaweerhu, wooyo oli nde?› Naye ashubiza ntya: ‹Nyoono, ndi Yeesu, oli walibuza. 16 Aliko yuumuka, oyimange! Nakubonekeere bulaala nashonda nkujire obe mukozi waani, onagende wahamiiriza ebi wabwene ko zeene n'ebindi nashuba gukuyeereka. 17 Nalema nagukuula omu maboko m'abenyu Bayaahudi, n'omu m'abantu barhali Bayaahudi.

Omu kunyemeera, bababalirwa ebyaaha byaabo n'okuba haguma n'abandi booshi achishogere.›»

19 Paawulo ashuba kuderha ntya: «Cho girhumire, waliha mwami Agiripa, ntalekaga gukenga ebi nabonekerwaga gurhenga empingu. 20 Aliko, narhanga kubalira abantu b'eDamasiki oku baleke ebyaaha byaabo, banahindamukire Nnamahanga omu kujira ebijiro biyerekeene oku balekere ebyaaha byaabo. Enyuma nashuba kubalira abantu b'egishala ch'eYerusaleema, n'abantu b'ebindi bishagala byooshi by'eYudeeya n'abarhali Bayaahudi ezoola nyigirizo. 21 Ebyoola byo byarhumaga aBayaahudi banfarhira omu Nju ya Nnamahanga, n'ogushonda kunyirha. 22 Aliko Nnamahanga andangire guhika oku lusiku lwa zeene. Echoola cho girhumire nahamiiriza embere z'abantu bakulu n'abadoorho. Nta yindi myaazi naderhere erhali elaala abaleebi na Muusa baabalaga oku nji yaaba. 23 Aba booshi, baderhere oku Krisitu alikwaneene alibuke, anabe murhanzi gufuuka omu bafu. Ntyo, nj'abala enjira y'obuchunguke oku lubaga lw'aBayaahudi n'oku barhali Bayaahudi, bagale kulama omu bumoleke.»

24 Amango Paawulo abaaga achiri abuurana, Fesito amubwira ntya n'omulenge munene: «Paawulo, wasirehere! Amasomo manene wasomere makujirire musire!» 25 Paawulo amushubiza ntya: «Waliha Fesito, ntali musire. Emyaazi ndi naaderha eri y'okuli enali y'akamaro. 26 Chiro mwami Agiripa ayinji bwinja eyoola myaazi yooshi. Cho girhumire namubwira yo buzira buuba, bulaala menyere bwinja oku nta mwazi n'omuguma arhenji omu yo. Ebyoola byooshi birhajirikaga omu bwibisho. 27 Mwami Agiripa, k'onayemeera ebinwa by'abaleebi? Nyinji bwinja oku onabiyemeera!» 28 Agiripa abwira Paawulo ntya: «Okengereere oku wanyemeeza kuba mukrisitu omu bishanji bigeeke!» 29 Paawulo ashubiza ntya: «Bibe bigeeke, bibe binene, mpemere Nnamahanga, wooyo n'abenyu booshi bali banyunviiriza zeene, mube nka kunoola nyoono ndi, aliko buzira gushwekwa n'amaala malegule!»

30 Abeere aderha ntyo, mwami Agiripa, omurhegesi Fesito, Berenike na booshi baliiri ahoola, bayimanga. 31 Baaja mahwe n'ogurhondera kubwirana ntya: «Oyuula muntu ntaacho ajirire chagarhuma ahanirwa olufu changwa ogushwekwa omu munyororo.» 32 Mwami Agiripa abwira omurhegesi Fesito ntya: «Byagahemere oyuula mulume ashwekuulwe nk'arhahemaga oku olushinja lwage luchiibwe na mwami mukulu Kayizaari.»
