6 Ndola goya mgati yake nyona wanyama wose, wang'onyo wotambala na ndege.
7 Abaho mhulika sauti yonongela, ‘Petulo, lamuka uchinje uje!’
8 Lakini nonga, ‘Mndewa bule! Kuduhu kinhu kihile hebu kigomesigwe kingile mumulomo wangu.’

10 Mbuli ayo ilawilila miyanza midatu, kukikomelezo kinhu kija kibwelezigwa kuulanga.
11 Bahaja wanhu wadatu watumigwe kumwangu kulawa Kaisalia wavika mng'anda ing'alile.

13 Kolinelio katulongela vija viyamonile msenga kulawa kuulanga kema mng'anda yake. Kamulongela, ‘Mtume munhu yachole Yopa kwa munhu yokemigwa Simoni Petulo.
14 Kowalongeleni mbuli zondaziwatende gweye na wanhu wa mulubuga lwako mukomboligwe.’
15 Vinisongile kulonga, Loho Yang'alile keza kumwao kamba viyezile kumwetu kuna ichanduso.
16 Abaho nikumbuka kija kiyalongile Mndewa, ‘Yohana kawabatiza wanhu kwa mazi, lakini mweye mobatizigwa kwa Loho Yang'alile.’
17 Vivo ili Mulungu kawagwaa wanhu haweli Wayahudi nhunza iija iyatugwelele tweye vitumtogole Mndewa Yesu Kilisito Mkombola, niye na nani, mbaka nimgomese Mulungu?”
18 Viwahulike avo, waleka kumulonga na wamtogola Mulungu, walonga, “Vivija Mulungu kawagwaa wanhu haweli Wayahudi nyafasi ya kuleka nzambi na kubokela ugima wa mazuwa gose!”
