10 Niibuwo mu̱lemi̱ oghu aaghi̱li̱ye Paulo ati abu̱ghe. Paulo aamughila ati, “Nimani̱ye ngoku omali̱ye myaka ekani̱ye nootwi̱la bantu bʼehanga lyatu lini misango. Niikiyo ki̱leki̱ye ndheedheeu̱we kwetonganʼo mu maaso ghaawe. 11 Nuwaabbali̱ye kumanya majima ghʼebi ndimaghenda ku̱bu̱gha, obu̱u̱li̱ye bantu bakukughambila obu naaki̱dhi̱ye Yelusaalemu ngoku naaghendi̱ye mu bbalaaji ya Numba ya Luhanga kulami̱ya.

17 “Haanu̱ma ya kumala myaka ntali e Yelusaalemu, niibuwo naaku̱u̱ki̱yeyo kutwalila bamui mu Bayu̱daaya baanakyanje banaku buyambi̱ bwa bisembo ebi naakumaani̱yagha hambali naabungilagha kutebeja, na kuhaayo dhee bihonguwa. 18 Makamala nti kukola mukolo ghwa kweyeli̱ya ewaa Luhanga kusighikila mu mi̱ghendi̱yo yaatu niibuwo bamboone ndi mu bbalaaji ya Numba ya Luhanga.

22 Obu Fi̱li̱ki̱si̱ oghu aaghu̱u̱ye eki aaghalʼo lukulato olu, nanga akaba amani̱ye ebi bantu abahi̱ki̱li̱i̱je Yesu bakwegheesi̱yagha. Aaghila ati, “Nku̱tu̱wa musango ghwawe ghuni Li̱si̱ya mukulu wa baasilikale baa Yelusaalemu naaki̱dhi̱ye.” 23 Du̱mbi̱ aalaghila mukulu wa baasilikale ku̱ku̱u̱ki̱ya Paulo mu nkomo, bhaatu aalaghila muusilikale oghu ali̱ndi̱ye nkomo oghu kutalinda Paulo kubhi-kubhi, kandi aamulaghila ati atatanga baabhootu̱ sya Paulo oghu kwisa kumulola kedha kumuha buyambi̱.

24 Haanu̱ma yʼebi, Fi̱li̱ki̱si̱ oghu aabunga, aamalayo bilo bikee. Du̱mbi̱ baakuuka hamui na mukali̱ wee Mu̱yu̱daayakali̱ oghu baaghilaghamu Dulasila. Aabilikila Paulo niikuwo aaghu̱we ebi akwegheesi̱yagha haa eki ku̱hi̱ki̱li̱ja Ki̱li̱si̱to Yesu kukumani̱i̱si̱ya. 25 Obu Paulo aatandi̱ki̱ye kubaghambila ebikwetʼo ku̱hi̱ki̱i̱li̱la, kwelinda, kandi ku̱twi̱lu̱wa musango okukughenda kubʼo, Fi̱li̱ki̱si̱ oghu oobaha, aaghila Paulo ati, “Dhaani obeeli̱ye haala! Oghende nkutodha kukubilikila ninaatu̱ngi̱ye bwile.” 26 Fi̱li̱ki̱si̱ aakalagha naaghila ati baleete Paulo hambali ali amani̱ye ati kedha Paulo akumuha ngu̱ji̱.

27 Haanu̱ma ya myaka ebili, Pokooli̱yo Fesito aaya Fi̱li̱ki̱si̱ oghu haa bukama, bhaatu haabwa Fi̱li̱ki̱si̱ kubbala kukola eki̱dheedhi̱ye Bayu̱daaya, aati̱gha Paulo mu nkomo.
