¹¹Chapanga agolili mihilu mikomi kwa kupitila Pauli.

¹²Vandu yivavelili vatami vatolili fitambala na yingwa sha chichuku sha Pauli vavayeghela vatami vawu pavagufyili matami vawu vawukili na finyamkela vavafuma.

¹³Vayawudi vamu yivavinga finyamkela vayelijili aku na aku pavayesha kutambula litawa lya Bambu Yesu kwa vala yivavelili na finyamkela, pavadeta, “Nguvawombela kwa litawa lya Yesu, yula Pauli yamlandula.”

¹⁴Vana saba va Sikewa, Mtambika mkomi wa Vayawudi, vavelili vamu wa vala yivagola nawula.

¹⁵Lakini chinyamkela avayangulili, “Ndimumanya Yesu wuwowu ndimumanya Pauli, lakini yumwi mwavaghani?”

¹⁶Pambeli yula mundu yaveli na chinyamkela kavajumbila nongwa avasidili liwovi. Na vala vana va Sikewa vatuvili kufuma nyumba yila chipula na vamema mivanga mumuvili yawu.

¹⁷Kila mundu wa aku Ifesu, Muyawudi na Mugiliki vapikanishili filongu afi. Vonda valwangili, valijumilili litawa lya Bambu Yesu.

¹⁸Vandu vatangalili vala yivajumilili Bambu vayihasha pamu, kudeta kwa vandu milandu yivagolili.

¹⁹Vamonga yivagolili milandu ya uhavi, vakungashili fitabu fyawu, vafinyanya motu, vandu vonda vafiwona. Kwa kukasha vaveli fikulinganila na mbiya migwala alufu milongu muhanu ya mbiya sha Malekani.

²⁰Kwa ndambu ayi chilongu cha Bambu lyakwilili kosi na kuva na liwovi nendu.

²¹Milandu ayi payipelili, Pauli alamulili kuyenda Yelusalemu kupitila Makedoniya na Akaya. Paghaveyi munjila adetili mundima yaki, “Pandiva kula, danyendi Loma.”

²²Kavalayisha vandu vavili vatangi vaki, veni vaveli Timotewu na Ilastu, vamlonguleli kuyenda Makedoniya na mweni asighalili Asia chipindi chitali.

²³Chipindi achi kwafumbukili ndilingu ngomi aku Ifesu kwanongwa ya deha ya Bambu.

²⁴Kwaveli na mponda mbiya vamkemaya Demetiliu, mweni aveli na chichuku cha kusongola ming'omung'omu ya nyumba ya mlungu mdadala vamkemaya Alitemi. Mafundi vaki vamgolilili chichuku chapatili mbiya sitangalili.

²⁵Demetiliu kavakungula ava pamu na vamonga vavelili na chichuku chichila, kadeta, “Yumwi valulumi, mumanya kucha ulundamali wa yufwi ukufuma muchichuku achi.

²⁶Ponopa mukulola na kupikanisha mwaveni milandu yagolili Pauli apa Ifesu hela ha, ila kosi Asia. Mweni kavagola vandu vaghalambuki na kujumila kucha milungu ayi yivagolili na vandu, ndi milungu ng'odu.

²⁷chichuku achi dachivi na litawa livipili. Ila chindu achi dachigoleki munyumba ya mlungu yivamkemaya mdala yaveli mkomi Alitemi, davalangiwi kucha chindu ha. Pambeli jumu shaki ayu sivelili Asia yonda na mlima wonda dasipeli!”

²⁸Pavapikanishili afi vakalala, vavika umatu, pavadeta, “Mkomi Alitemi wa Vaifesu!”

²⁹Mbwani yosi yamemili ndilingu, vatuva mbilu vayingila pavadingila, chipindi achi vavakang'ala Gayu na Alisitaku, venikaya va Makedoniya vaveli mumwanja pamu na Pauli.

³⁰Pauli padayileyi kuyingila pagati ya vandu, vanachuli vaki vamukanisha.

³¹Vakomi vamonga va Asia, vavelili vaghanja vaki, vavalayisha vandu vaki, pavamluva akotoo kuyenda kula kuvadingila misambu, dayivi ngondu kwa mweni.

³²Chipindechi, vakawuteyi vamonga vavelili vakudeta chindu achi na vamonga chindu chila, yavelili ndilingu, mbaka lila likungashu lyatilingikili, mbaka vamonga vamanyila ha nongwa liki vayikungashili pamu.

³³Topi Vayawudi vamugolili Alekisanda ayilangushi paulongolu, vandu vamu vayiholili ndi mweni. Topi Alekisanda kavapungila vandu liwoku, akadayileyi kuyitasha paulongolu ya lipinga lya vandu.

³⁴Lakini pavamanyili mweni ndi Muyawudi, vonda vawutila pamu kwa lishu limu, “Mkomi Alitemi wa Vaifesu!” Vayendelela kuwuta nawula masaa mavili.

³⁵Pambeli ndumindumi wa mbwani yila aweshili kuvagola vanyamali. Kavawombela, “Kila mundu wa Ifesu, kamanya kucha mweni ndi mdimi wa Vaifesu nyumba ya mlungu yivamkema Alitemi na mdimi wa lila ling'omung'omu liponikili kufuma kumbindi.

³⁶Kwahela mundu yalema milandu ayi. Topi munyamali, mukotoo kugola chindu chochosi ngajila kuyivavala.

³⁷Muvayegha vandu ava, vangajila kuhija findu fya nyumba ngomi ya mlungu wetu mdadala awu kumjowola.

³⁸Payiva Demetiliu na vagolafichuku vaki mani vana nongwa na vandu ava, kuchiveli chitemela na kwaveli vakomi va milima, vakuwesha kuvahigha.

³⁹Kucha muna milandu yingi, muyiyeghi kuchitemela cha milandu kucha ayi.

⁴⁰Kwa findu figolikili nalelu, tungaweshili kuhighiwa kwanongwa tuyegha ndilingu. Kandi tuvahela cha kudeta nongwa liki tugola ndilingu mulipinga ali.”
