2 kawaghutsa, “Angu tsamumbokela Muhe Mwenzeluka hala hamtoghole?” Wamwidika, “Mbe, hata kuhulika ka kuna Ghumuhe Mwenzeluka ng'ana tuhulike bae.”
3 Pauli kawaghutsa, “Kuya tsambatitsighwa ubatitso wachi?” Wamwidika, “Ubatitso iyang'ali yobatitsa Yohane.”
4 Pauli kalonga, “Ubatitso wang'ali yobatitsa Yohane tsaukala kwa awala iwatoghole kutsileka nzambi tsawo. Naye tsakawalongela iwanu wamtoghole ayula iyakutsa kuchughu kwake, ayo iyo Yesu.”
5 Hawahulike pfino, wabatitsighwa kwa taghwa lya Yesu.
6 Pauli hayamalitse kuwekila ghamoko, Ghumuhe Mwenzeluka kawahulumkila, nawo wandusa ukulonga lugha ingi, pfipfila walonga mbuli ye Imtwatsa.
7 Tsawakala iwanu ka kumi na weli.
8 Pauli kengila mne ing'anda ye ukulombela, kwa miyetsi midatu kalonga ne iwanu bila kupfuka, tsakaghetsa kuwakwegha watse mne Undewa we Imulungu.
9 Lekeni wamwenga tsawana mimoyo mikomu na ng'awatoghole bae, na wailonga pfihile Imbuli ye Imtwatsa. Apfo Pauli kawaleka, kawasola iwatoghole, kalonga nawo chila litsuwa mne ing'anda ya ukulangulitsila ya imunu yumwe iyakemighwe Tirano.
10 Pfinu pfino pfighendelela kwa miyaka mili, ili iwanu wose iwokala mne kaye tse isi ya Asiya, Wayahudi na iwanu iwali si Wayahudi bae wahulike imbuli ye Imtwatsa.
11 Imulungu tsayang'ali yotenda pfihulo pfikulu kubitila Pauli.
12 Hata pfitambala na maghwanda ghayakindile ghaghalighwa kwe iwatamu, utamu wawo uwalawa, na ipfinyamkela pfiwalawa.
13 Wayahudi wamwenga iwakwangakwanga na kulapfa ipfinyamkela tsawaghetsa kutumila taghwa lya Imtwatsa. Wawalongela ipfinyamkela, “Nomlaghitsani mlawe kwa taghwa lya Yesu, iyopetighwa na Pauli.”
14 Iwatendile apfo, tsawakala iwana saba wa imunu yumwe Myahudi iyakemighwe Sikewa, iyakalile Imtambika mkulu.
15 Lekeni ichinyamkela kawalongela, “Yesu nommanya, Pauli nommanya, lekeni mwemwe tsina nani?”
16 Kuya imunu yane ichinyamkela kawadalukila, kawatowa mbaka watsumila kunze mwe ing'anda wachidako aku wana pfilonda.
17 Imbuli ayo haimanyike na Wayahudi na Wagiriki iwokala ako Efeso, wose tsawapfuka, na taghwa lya Imtwatsa Yesu litunyighwa.
18 Iwanu wengi iwamtoghole Yesu watsa hambele he iwanu, watoghola kuleka kutenda ghehile.
19 Iwanu wamwenga iwang'ali wotenda uhawi wapfighala pfitabu pfawo na kupfilakatsa hambele he iwanu. Pfawapetile bei ye ipfitabu apfo, wona yodahika kupfika elufu hamsini.
20 Apfo imbuli ye Imtwatsa yenela na kuwa ne ingupfu ghendo.
21 Pfinu pfino hapfimalile, Pauli tsakalamla aghende Yerusalemu kwa kubitila Makedoniya na Akaya, kalonga, “Ning'apfika ako, pfipfila nobamighwa ng'ende Roma.”
22 Apfo kawatuma ako Makedoniya iwanu wake weli iwomwapfilagha, Timoteo na Elasto, yeye mwenyegho tsakakala chidogho ako Asiya.
