Numbe tukanabhepilikana kuti apali Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo.” 3 Kwa nneyo a Pauli gubhaabhushiyenje, “Igala mwabhatishwenje ubhatisho gwashi?” Gubhaajangwilenje, “Ubhatisho gwa a Yowana.” 4 A Pauli gubhashite, “Ubhatisho gwa a Yowana pugwaaliji gwa langula kuti bhandunji bhaipetilenje. A Yowana bhatendaga kwaabhalanjilanga bhandunji kuti bhankulupalilanje akwiyajo, yani a Yeshu.”
5 Bhakapilikananjeje genego, gubhabhatishwenje kwa lina lya Bhakulungwa a Yeshu. 6 Bhai, a Pauli gubhaabhishilenje makono, Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo akwaatulushilangaga, gubhatandwibhenje kubheleketa luga inape na londola. 7 Pubhalinginji bhandunji bhanabhalume kuishila likumi limo na bhabhili.

Na bhana bha a Shekewa bhala gubhakopokengene lubhilo pa nyumba pala bhauleywenje na bhalinginji makonope.
17 Jene nganijo jikushumaga kubhandu bhowe bhatamanganaga ku Epesho, ku Bhayaudi na Bhagiliki. Bhowe gubhajogopenje.

21 Gakapiteje genego, a Pauli gubhatumbilile muntima gwabho kwenda ku Yelushalemu kupitila ku Makedonia na ku Akaya. Gubhashite, “Nng'ikaga kweneko ngunapinga ngakubhone ku Loma.” 22 Kwa nneyo, gubhaatumilenje bhaajanguta bhabho bhabhili, a Timoteo na a Elashito, bhaalongolelanje kwenda ku Makedonia, bhalabho gubhatemi kashoko ku Ashia.
23 Gene malangago guikoposhele nnjasha jikulungwa ku Epesho kwa ligongo lya Mpanda gwa Bhakulungwa gula. 24 Ashinkupagwa mundu jumo nshipala lina lyakwe Demetulushi, liengo lyakwe pulyaaliji kualaya kwa madini ga hela nyumba yaishoko ika nnungu jwankongwe ashemwaga Atemi.

Bhalabho bhanakwiya na kwaatendebhuyanga bhandunji bhabhagwinji bhakundanje kuti ialaywa kwa makono ga bhandunji nngabha ashinnungu. 27 Kwa nneyo kujogoya kwakwe nngabha ga petekuywa liengo lyetupe, ikabhe nkali nyumba jika nnungu Atemi jipinga petekuywa. Kungai upalume gwa bhene bhaatindibhalilwa pa shilambo sha Ashia na shilambolyo shiupele.”
28 Bhakapilikananjeje genego, guyaashimilenje, gubhatandwibhenje kujobhela bhalinkutinji. “Bhakulungwa ni Atemi bha ku Epesho!” 29 Shilambo showe shikugumbalaga nnjasha. Gubhaakamulenje a Gayo na a Alishitako, bhandunji bha ku Makedonia, bhalinginji mwanja gumo na a Pauli, gubhaapelekenje lubhilo mpaka ku lubhala lwa ing'ando. 30 Na a Pauli bhapingaga jinjila pakati lugwinjili, ikabheje bhaajiganywa bhabho bhakwaalimbiyangaga. 31 Ashikalongolele bhananji bha shene shilambo sha Ashia shila, bhalinginji ashaambwiga ajabho, gubhatumilnje ntenga gwa kwaashondelesheya bhanajende kwiilanguya kulubhala lwa ing'ando.
32 Penepo bhananji bhalijobhelenga shana nnei na bhananji shana nneyo, mpaka lugwinjili lula lukupuganikaga. Bhabhagwinji bhangashimanyanga shiumilo shibhaimanilenje pepala. 33 Bhandunji bhananji gubhaganishiyenje kuti shiumilo a Alekishanda, pabha Bhayaudi bhashinkwaatendanga bhajende mmujo.

35 Kungai bhaajandika bha shilambo gubhakombwele kwaapumuyanga, gubhaalugulilenje, “Mmashilambo bha pa Epesho, kila mundu amumanyi kuti shilambo sha Epesho shino ni nkugoya jwa nyumba jika nnungu Atemi na nkugoya jwa shindu shigwile kukopoka kunnungu. 36 Jwakwapi mundu jwa tauka gegano. Kwa nneyo, mwitimalikanje, nnatendanje shindu shoshowe gwamba. 37 Nshikwashemanga abha bhandunjibha apano nkali shakwa shibhajibhilenje nnyumba jika nnungu wala kuntukana nnungu jwetu jwankongwe.”
38 “Bhai, ibhaga Demetulushi na bhatumishi ajakwe bhakwetenje shalugula sha bhene bhanganyanjibha, lupali lukumbi na bhanangulungwa bha shilambo bhapalinji, bhakalugulane kweneko. 39 Na ibhaga nkuloleyanga gana, shigagumbwe pa lukumbi lwa manyika na bhashilambo. 40 Pabha gakoposhele leloga yapinjikwe tulugulwe kwa kumbuya nnjasha. Ai nnjashai yangali shiumilo na shitulepele kutaya shiumilo shammbone sha yene nnjashai.” 41 Bhakabheleketanjeje genego, gubhapwilingenye lukumbi.
