²Olwa Omukangasi owa *awoozia oetwa mbwe Ananiasi yawurra otio, yalaga awantu awaawanga ni waimeriire ampi ni Paulo mbwe wamukube oluyu ku omunwa.

³Paulo yalaga Ananiasi otino, “Iwue omuntu ofwana ne enzizi ewakrwe ne erangi enzeru ono, Katonda aaza okukuswawuka ino; aeniki oikaale ao okunkengera ekiina nikulondokana ne endagirra, ni kandi iwue oona endagirra ku okulaga awantu wano mbwe wankube.”

⁴Awantu awaawanga ni waimeriire ampi nae waamuwuuzia watino, “Owuo onyega Omukangasi owa awoozia, *omukurumu owa Katonda?”

⁵Paulo yawairania otino, “Awiifu, ngʼankawanga ni manyire mbwe ono nio Omukangasi owa awoozia aeniki kwajojwa mu endagano mbwe, ‘Mutaaza mwagamba-gamba uwiiwi ku awakangasi awa awantu wiinyu.’ ”

Inze ekigera ni ndeetrwe emberi wiinyu ano no okuganya okwa nganyire mbwe awafu waaza okuziuka.”

⁷Olwa yamala okuwoola otio, erioga riatanika agati eya Awafarisaayo na Awasadukaayo. Kutio awagaaka awa ekiina waagawukana.

⁸(Awasadukaayo iwo wawoola mbwe kuwulao okuziuka okwa awafu kandi mbwe *ewikeeno nakuwa *enyankoi ziwulao. Na Awafarisaayo iwo, waaganya mbwe ewintu wisatu ewio wiona wirio. Ekio nikio ekintu ekiareeta erioga.)

⁹Erioga agati ya Awafarisaayo na Awasadukaayo riawa inene ino. *Awagerezi awa endagirra nyaluwega olwa Awafarisaayo waawoola watino, “Ifwe ngatuwona owuoni owua omuntu ono. Mukamanya mutie? Andi enyankoi nakuwa *Omwoyo Omweru nio omiire okumulaga ewintu ewia awoola ewio.”

¹⁰Olwa omukangasi owa awa-iiye yawona amangʼana agati ya Awafarisaayo na Awasadukaayo ni gagia okuwa amawiiwi, yalaga awa-iiye waae mbwe wagie watoole Paulo agati yaawu wamuingizie mu enyumba eya awa-iiye aeniki yatianga mbwe awantu awo waaza waita Paulo.

¹²Olwa owuire wuakia, *Awayaudi wandi waifuuwa ni wawoola mbwe ngawaaza okuria namba okunywa ekintu-ukintu ni wakiari okuita Paulo.

¹³Awantu wano waawanga awantu awakakira amakumi ane.

¹⁴Waagia ku awakangasi awa awoozia ni ku awagaaka awa Awayaudi wawalaga watino, “Tumiire okuifuuwa mbwe ngatuuza okuria ekintu-ukintu ni tukiari okuita Paulo.

¹⁵Kutio tuagala tutino: Mutumre omukangasi owa awa-iiye owutumwa mbwe awareetere Paulo mbwe muagala okutuukra owueru ku amangʼana aga awoola gano. Ni ifwe tuuza okumuibongʼa tumuite na akiari okutuuka ano.”

¹⁶Olwa omwiwa owa Paulo owekizia yawurra amangʼana ago, yagia mu enyumba eya awa-iiye waawanga ni wamenyeremo alaga Paulo amangʼana aga yawurra ago.

¹⁷Paulo yaeta omukangasi wundi owa awa-iiye amulaga otino, “Toola omuwuuka ono oire ku omukangasi omunene owa awa-iiye. Kirio ekintu ekia agala okumulaga.”

¹⁸Kutio omukangasi oyo yatoola omuwuuka oyo amuira ku omukangasi omunene owa awa-iiye amulaga otino, “Omusiwe Paulo awerenga na anyetre. Olwa mugiireko, ansawire mbwe ndeete omuwuuka ono ku iwue aeniki ari ne ekintu ekia agala okukulaga.”

¹⁹Omukangasi omunene owa awa-iiye oyo yatoola omuwuuka oyo agia nae antulo nikwo amuwuuzia otino, “Niki ekia oagala okundaga?”

²⁰Omuwuuka oyo yamuirania otino, “Mberenga ni mpuriire na Awayaudi wawoola mbwe enkio warikusawa mbwe oire Paulo emberi wa awakengi awa ekiina mbwe wagala okutuukra owueru ku amangʼana aga awoola.

²¹Ni nkugaania mbwe otawaganyira, aeniki wario awantu awakira amakumi ane, awamiire okuifuuwa okutaria kandi okutanywa ekintu-ukintu nawuno waite Paulo. Wamiire okuwurzania okuibongʼera Paulo ku engira kugere wamuvwamre wamuite na akiari okutuuka ku oluwuga. Iwo nyingeeno warindirra okuwurra ekikuemako.”

²²Kutio yalaga omuwuuka oyo otino, “Gia, no otaaza walaga omuntu mbwe ondagre ekintu kino.”

²³Nikuemao omukangasi omunene owa awa-iiye yaeta awakangasi wandi wawiri awa awa-iiye mala awalaga otino, “Mulowole awa-iiye mia wiwiri na awandi amakumi musamvu awalwanira ku efaraasi alala na awalwana na amafumo mia wiwiri nyagala okuwatuma Kaisaria reero enyinga isatu ezia owuire.

²⁴Nyagala mbwe mutuukirre Paulo oona efaraasi eya aaza okuniina, mumuire geeza ku Omwami Feliksi.”
