1 Okumara ekaswaagibhwa kubha, tugye mukyaaro kya Itaria kwe emeeri. Pauro na abhabhohwa abhaandi, bhakatuurwa mubhuriibhi bhwo omukuru wumwe wa abhasirikare, eriina yaaye ni Yurio. Yurio wuyo yaari omukuru we eriihizo rya abhasirikare rino ryaari kubhirikirwa Eriihizo rya Kaisari Agusito. 2 Tukatiira mumeeri yino yaari kurweera mumugye gwa Adiramitio. Emeeri yiyo yaari murugeendo kuhita kurungʼoongo rwa mukyaaro kya Asia. Tukagya hamwe na Aristariko, omuutu wo okurwa mumugye gwa Tesaronike mukyaaro kya Makedonia.

3 Etabhoori yaho, tukahika kurungʼoongo rwo omugye gwa Sidooni. Yurio akamukorera Pauro amazomu, kwo okumuha omweeya arorene na abhasaani bhaaye, okubha bhamuhe ebhigiro bhino yaari kweenda. 4 Okurwa eyo, tukahita embarika we ekigiinga kya Kipuro, kwo okubha obhukama bhwaari bhuhaari bhukongʼu. 5 Hano twaayiitaambukiri enyaanza yino eri orubhaara rwe ekyaaro kya Kirikia na Pamufiria, tukahika mumugye gwa Mira mukyaaro kya Rikia. 6 Omukuru wa abhasirikare akabhona emeeri ya mumugye gwa Arekizandiria. Emeeri yiyo yaari ereerekera mukyaaro kya Itaria, akatutiirya muyo.

7 Tukagya ngʼorangʼora kwa siku nzaru na kwa nyaako bhukongʼu, tee tukahika mumugye gwa Nido. Hano twaari tweendiri kuhita, obhukama bhuhaari bhukaturibhira tutahita, bhukagirya tukiinogoora orubhaara rwa maamu rwe ekigiinga kya Kirete, haguhi no omwaambuko gwa Sarimooni. 8 Tukiibharuruka embarika kwa nyaako bhukongʼu, tee tukahika ahagiro hano hakubhirikirwa Obhwaambukiro Obhuzomu, haguhi no omugye gwa Rasea.

9 Bhoono twaari tuhikirye eriibhaga itaambi murugeendo, naabhe enyaangi yo okwiisiitya ebhyaakurya*Enyaangi yo okwiisiitya ebhyaakurya erakorwa kumweeri gwa keenda kasi gwi ikumi. Kumyeeri giyo, enyaanza yaari erasarika bhukongʼu. Rora Abharaawi 16. yaari ehitiri, ne eriibhaga rye embeho no omukama muhaari. Erarorekana kubha, tugeenderere no orugeendo runo, turanagya kubhona enyaako. Kweego Pauro akabhatoongera abharikyaaye, 10 “Bhamure, nirarora murugeendo rweetu runo turabhona embusa. Etari emeeri ne emirigo ebhyeene, nawe neetwe abheene turanagya kusika.”

11 Nawe omukuru wa abhasirikare wuyo, atiikiriirye obhutoongeri bhwa Pauro, akarora kubha bhutana bhweera, akaseega amangʼana go omugeendya we emeeri na mweene meeri. 12 Ambe, eryaambukiro riyo, ritaari no omweeya muzomu gwo okwiikara kwiibhaga rye embeho ehaari. Abhaatu bhaaru gati waabhu, bhakiikirirania bharwe erya, no okugeenderera no orugeendo kugya kwiikara Foinikisi kwiibhaga riyo rye embeho. Foinikisi ni mwaambuko guno guri mukigiinga kya Kirete, kino kyaari orubhaara rwa maamu ya nyaanza, na raange ya nyaanza.

13 Omukama muzomu gukataanga kuhuumbuuta kurwa orubhaara rwa maamu. Gukagirya bheene meeri, bhiiseege kubha bharanagya kuhika kyeego bhaari kweenda. Kweego bhakatiirya enaanga ye emeeri, bhakageenderera no orugeendo rwaabhu, bhakahita embarika wo omwaambuko gwe ekigiinga kya Kirete. 14 Nawe, kwiibhaga isuuhu ego, ekimaramuumbi ekihaari kino kyaari kubhirikirwa Eurakiro, kirahuumbuuta kurweera mukigiinga kya Kirete. 15 Omukama omuhaari guyo gwaari guratematema kurubharu rwe emeeri yiyo. Tukasakya kutiimbana nagwe, nawe gukatuhiza. Tukatiga gutuhire gatigati we enyaanza.

16 Tukahita inyuma wa akaziinga akasuuhu kano kaari kubhirikirwa Kauda, kakaturibhira hasuuhu omukama omuhaari guyo. Hayo tukanagya kwa nyaako kutuurya obhwaato obhusuuhu bhwo okutuurirya abhaatu kwo okubhubhoha eziisiri, obhwaato bhuno bhwaari kurutwa na amaanzi. 17 Hano abhaatu bhaamariri kutiirya obhwaato obhuundi mumeeri yaabhu, bhakiinogoorya eziisiri emeeri yoosi, bhakayibhoha kisi ekongʼere. Bhaari bharoobhoha kubha, bhaari bharatura kutamirwa mumusereekenye gwe enyaanza ya Ribia. Obhwoobha bhuyo, bhukagirya bhakiikya amataanga, bhakatiga emeeri ehunwe no omukama.

18 Amabhooka gakeenderera kuyitematema emeeri yiyo kwa amanaga. Etabhoori yaho, abhahokya bha mumeeri, bhakataanga kutaasa emirigo munyaanza. 19 Orusiku rwa katatu, bhakarekera ebhigiro bhya mumeeri kwa amabhoko gaabhu abheene. 20 Zikahita siku nzaru eryoobha ne eziinzota zitaari kurorekana, ne enyaanza yiyo ekabha erageenderera kusarika. Ekagirya tutiisiga kubha turatuuribhwa.

21 Eziisiku nzaru zikahita bhakyaari kurya kigiro, Pauro akiimeerera gati waabhu, akabhabhuurira, “Emwe abhasubhe, mwaari mureenderwa muniitegeerere tukyaari kubhuuka kurwa Kirete. Muunganiigwiiri gano goosi gataari kutubhona. 22 Nawe bhoono ndabhabhuurira, mutakwa emitima, kwo okubha atariho naabhe wumwe gati weenyu wuno araakwe, nawe emeeri yino erasarika.

23 “Ndanagya kugaamba ego, kwo okubha enye ni muutu wa Taatabhugya, na niwe nikumuhokeerya. Obhutiku bhwa reero maraika waaye akaanihwaarukira, 24 akaanibhuurira, ‘Pauro, otige okwoobhoha! Oreenderwa wiimeerere embere wa Kaisari. Na omenye kubha, Taatabhugya arabhatuurya kwo orubhaango rwaaye bhoosi bhano muri murugeendo.’ 25 Kweego mutakwa emitima bhamure, enye niriikirirya kubha gano Taatabhugya anibhuuriiri garakorwa. 26 Nawe emeeri yeetu erahunwa mukigiinga ekirebhe.”

27 Tukamara eziisiku ikumi ni inye, eno turahunwa no omukama muhaari eno ne eyo munyaanza ya Adiria. Mubhutiku gati, abhahokya bha mumeeri bhakiiseega kubha bhari haguhi kuhika kukyaaro ekyoomu. 28 Kweego bhakareenga obhutaambi bhwa amaanzi, bhakabhona obhutaambi bhwa amaanzi bhwaari amataambuka igana rimwe na miroongo ebhiri (120). Nawe kwiibhaga isuuhu hano bhaareengirye amaanzi gayo kweeki, bhakabhona obhutaambi bhwa amaanzi bhuhikiri amataambuka miroongo keenda (90). 29 Bhakoobhoha kubha emeeri yiingiitemiri kumatare, ekagirya bhakataasa eziinaanga inye mumaanzi inyuma we emeeri. Bhakasabha bhukye bhwaangu.

30 Abhahokya bha mumeeri bhakeenda kutoroka bhatige emeeri. Bhakiikya obhwaato obhusuuhu bhwo okutuurirya abhaatu mumaanzi, bhariikora kubha bhareenda kwiikya eziinaanga orubhaara rwe embere rwe emeeri. 31 Rugeendo rumwe, Pauro akamubhuurira omukuru wa abhasirikare hamwe na abhasirikare bhaaye, “Abhahokya bhano, eraabhe bhatakusaaga mumeeri muno hamwe neetwe, mutakuhona!” 32 Kweego, abhasirikare bhayo bhakatina eziisiri zino zaari zibhohiri emeeri yiyo, bhakatiga bhugegwe na amaanzi.

33 Hano bhwaari kweenda kukya, Pauro akataanga kukumiirirya abharikyaaye, bharye ebhyaakurya eno arabhuga, “Reero ni rusiku rwi ikumi na kane kweema mugwaatwe ne ehaho no okutama kurya ekigiro kyokyoosi. 34 Bhoono nirabhiisasaama murye, okubha mutakwa rwe enzara, kwo okubha naabhe oruzweeri rwo omutwe gwo owumwe weenyu rutakubhura.”

35 Hano Pauro yamariri kugaamba ego, akagega omukaate akabhuga, “Ozomirye, Taatabhugya,” embere waabhu bhoosi, akagubhega, akataanga okurya. 36 Rugeendo rumwe bhoosi bhakiitema eziikubhi, bhakataanga kurya. 37 Bhoosi bhano twaari mumeeri, twaari bhaatu magana abhiri na miroongo muhuungati na bhasaasabha (276). 38 Hano bhaamariri kwiiguta, bhakarekera engano munyaanza, okubha bhasuuhye obhurito bhwe emeeri.

39 Hano kwakiiri, abhahokya bhe emirimo bhayo, bhakarora ekyaaro kino enyaanza esikiiri mukyaaro ekyoomu, nawe bhataayimenyeekereerye ekyaaro kiyo. Kweego bhakaamura kugya kutuura emeeri yaabhu kyeego yaangaturikeeni. 40 Kweego, bhakatina eziisiri zye enaanga, bhakaziituumya mumaanzi, bhakanyeegya eziisiri zino zibhohiri eziimbaawa zyo okugeenderya emeeri. Bhakatiirya eriitaanga isuuhu rye embere, okubha riizurye obhukama, bhakagya kurungʼoongo. 41 Nawe, hano emeeri yiyo yiisukiri embere hasuuhu, bhakahika ahagiro hano emigeri gya amaanzi gyaari kusikanira. Embere we emeeri hakasima mumarobha kwa nguru, kyaamwe bhukaangira muyo. Orubhaara rwi inyuma rwe emeeri yiyo, ekabha eratemwatemwa na amabhooka, tee ekataanga kubhaaruka bhitinikatinika.

42 Omukoonyo gwa abhasirikare bhaari kweenda kwiita abhabhohwa bhoosi, okubha atabhaho naabhe wumwe waabhu wo okweerema no okumyooka. 43 Nawe omukuru wa abhasirikare wuyo, akeenda kumutuurya Pauro, kweego, akabharekya bhatakora ego. Akabhaswaagya bhano bhakutura kweerema, bheereme tee kurungʼoongo. 44 Abhaandi bhano bhataamenyiri kweerema, bhagege eziimbaawa ne ebhibhaawa bhye emeeri bhino bhibhaarukiri. Kwo okukora ego, abhaatu bhoosi bhakahona.
