¹⁶Owuire wulala ni tuagianga asi aa okusawa, twa-agaana omwala owemirimo omugule owawanga ne *emisambwa egia okulagula awantu. Kandi kuno kwareetranga awaamugula emfuno enyingi ino aeniki yalagulanga awantu na awalaga ewintu ewiazanga okuwiikorra ni wamuoloola.

¹⁷Omwala ono yalonda Paulo alala ni ifwe na aogerera otino, “Awantu wano na *awakurumu awa Katonda omwene omwene owa ku igulu. Wawalanzizia kiomo muesa okutuukra owuinunuzi.”

¹⁸Yagia emberi na akola otio ku amiire amangi nawuno enda eya Paulo yagia eyia ne ekikeeno ekio, agaluka akilaga kitino, “Ku eriina eria Yesu Kristo, nkusikirra mbwe fuma ku omwala oyo!” Kandi ekikeeno ekio kiafuma ku omwala oyo kalala.

¹⁹No olwa awantu awaagula omwala ono waawona mbwe engira yaawu eya okutuukra amasendi eoneeke, wa-amba Paulo ni Siila wawakulula wawaira mu olwanyi olwa omugizi ku awakangasi.

²⁰Waawareeta emberi wa awakengi awa ekiina, wawaingirra watino, “Wano na Awayaudi. Wamiire okureeta erioga eringi mu omugizi gwifu guno.

²¹Waona awantu wuona ni wawagerera enkola ezia ifwe Awaruumi endagirra ziifu ngazituganyiire okulonda namba okukola.”

²²Omurima ogwawanga ao gwaizogaana na awantu wano okuingirra Paulo ni Siila, kutio awakengi awa ekiina waawatandulako enguwo kandi wasikirra mbwe waswawukwe enkowa.

²³Ni waamala okuswawukwa ino, waawarigiza mu owusiwe kandi omurinzi yasikirrwa mbwe awawarre ino watafuma.

²⁴Olwa omurinzi yawurra amangʼana ago, yawatoola awata mu akayumba aka munsi mu enyumba eya owusiwe, mala atoola amagulu gaawu asiwa ku ewisiki ewia okusiwa awasiwe.

²⁵Owuire agati, ni Paulo ni Siila waasawanga kandi ni waemba enyembo ezia okutondowola Katonda, na awasiwe awiina waawu na wasarigiire wawategerezia,

²⁶waizuikra ne ekialo kizegera kalala wukalu aa owulusa owua enyumba eya owusiwe wuona wuazegera. Mu enyinga ezio, ewiriango ewia enyumba eya owusiwe wiaiguka namba ewiuma ewia waawanga ni wasiwirwe nawio wiasiwuka.

²⁷Olwa omurinzi ya-azamuka mu endoolo atuukra mbwe ewiriango wiiguuke, yaingirizia mbwe awasiwe wafumre, kutio yazomola omwambe kugere aifumute afwe.

²⁸Ni Paulo yaogerera wukalu na awoola otino, “Yawa! Otaaza waona owulamu wuao wusaasa. Turiano twona.”

²⁹Omurinzi oyo yaeterezia mbwe ewimuri wireetwe. Yasomoka aingira mu owusiwe munsi agia agwa ansi mu amagulu aga Paulo ni Siila na adada no owuti.

³⁰Nikuemao yawafumia enze awawuuzia otino, “Awakangasi, nkoleki kugere ntuukre owuinunuzi?”

³¹Waamuirania watino, “Ganya ku *Omwami Yesu Kristo kugere onunulwe iwue na awa mu enyumba yaao woona.”

³²Kutio Paulo ni Siila waagerera omurinzi oyo na awantu awa mu enyumba yaae woona amangʼana aga Katonda.

³³Mu enyinga ezia owuire ezio omurinzi oyo yatoola Paulo ni Siila, agia awaozizia ewisonga ewiawanga ku emiwiri giawu, nikwo iye alala na awa mu enyumba yaae waabatiiswa.

³⁴Nikuemao yawatoola agia nawo omwae awiikazizia okuria emberi waawu mbwe warie. Iye na awa mu enyumba yaae waawa no owusangaavu ino ku okuwa mbwe waganyire ku Katonda.

³⁵Olwa owuire wuakia, awakengi awa ekiina waatumra omurinzi owa owusiwe omulangra okumulaga otino, “Reka awantu awo wagie.”

³⁶Omurinzi oyo yalaga Paulo otino, “Awakengi awa ekiina watumre amangʼana mbwe mbareke mugie. Kutio muri iwaga, mufume mugie no owuolu.”

³⁷Ni Paulo yawalaga otino, “Muwurre, ifwe turi Awaruumi, ni kukawa kutio izo wagerre tukubwa wusaasa emberi wa awantu ni wakiari okutuukra owuoni wuifu kandi watuingizia mu owusiwe. Katio ekigera ni wagala okutusiwula owuiwisi niki? Tulowere ngatufuma muno. Mugie muwalage waaze watufumie iwo aweene.”

³⁸Omulangra oyo yagia alaga awakengi awa ekiina ekingʼana kino. Olwa waamanya mbwe Paulo ni Siila waawanga Awaruumi, owuti wuawa-amba ino.
