Ghamatendo 13:13-25

¹³Kuya Pauli na weyaghe wadina mnumbwi kulawa Pafo wapfika Periga, ghumji ighuli Pamfiliya, baho Yohane Maliki kawaleka, koya Yerusalemu.

¹⁴Lekeni wawo waghendelela na ghumwanza kulawa Periga mbaka Antiyokiya ako Pisidiya. Litsuwa lya Sabato wengila mne ing'anda ye ukulombela, wakala hasi.

¹⁵Ichitabu cha malaghitso gha Musa ne ichitabu cha manabii we Imulungu hapfisomighwe, iwakulu we ing'anda ya ukulombela watuma imbuli kwa tsina Pauli, wawalongela, “Wandughu, ka mna imbuli yo ukuwalongela iwanu wano, walongeleni.”

¹⁶Pauli kenuka, kawapungila ghumoko kalonga, “Mwemwe Waisiraeli weyangu, na mwemwe iwanu wangi yamumpfuka Imulungu mnitegheletse!

¹⁷Imulungu we iwanu wano wa Isiraeli tsakawasaghula aba tsetu, kawabaliki iwanu awo hala hawang'ali wahenza mne isi ya Misiri, kuya kwa uwetso wake mkulu kawalapfa mne isi ayo.

¹⁸Kwa miyaka ka alubaini kawadudumila akula kunyika.

¹⁹Naye tsakaghahinya makabila saba mne isi ya Kanani, na kuweng'a iwanu wake isi ila iwe yawo.

²⁰Agha ghose ghakala kwa miyaka miya nne hamsini. “Hambele, Imulungu kaweng'a walamutsi iwanu wake mbaka mne matsuwa gha Samweli, nabii we Imulungu.

²¹Kuya iwanu walomba wawe ne imndewa, Imulungu kaweng'a Sauli, imwana wa Kishi wa kabila lya Benjamini yawe mndewa wawo kwa chipindi cha miyaka alubaini.

²²Imulungu hamlapfile Sauli, kamsaghula Daudi yawe mndewa wawo. Imulungu kamlonga pfino Daudi, ‘Nimwona Daudi imwana wa Yese, ka imunu yaghunoghele ghumoyo ghwangu. Yeye katsotenda aghala ghose ghanibama yaghatende.’

²³Kulawa mne lukolo lwa Daudi, Imulungu kawaghalila iwanu wa Isiraeli Mkombotsi Yesu, ka pfalongile.

²⁴Hala Yesu ng'ana yanduse isang'ano yake, Yohane tsakawapetela iwanu wose wa Isiraeli watsileke nzambi na wabatitsighwe.

²⁵Naye Yohane hang'ali yomalitsa isang'ano yake, kalonga, ‘Mwemwe mwolonga nene mkombotsi? Nene si yula bae yamumbeta. Ila ayo kakutsa kuchughu kwangu na nene sibamighwa bae kudohola imitsabi ye imikwabatsa yake.’
