¹Pauli kawatsodelela tsinenge iwanu wa libaratsa, kuya kalonga, “Ndughu tsangu, tsanimtumikila Imulungu kwa ghumoyo ghunoghile mbaka leloli.”

²Imtambika mkulu Ananiya kawalaghitsa awala iwakalile habehi na Pauli wamtowe mlomo wake.

³Kuya Pauli kamlongela, “Imulungu katsokutowa ghweghwe mng'enye. Ghweghwe kwa hano kunihigha kwa ghamalaghitso, lekeni ghweghwe imwenyegho koghahinya ghamalaghitso kwa kuwalongela iwanu wanitowe!”

⁴Awala iwemile habehi na Pauli walonga, “Ghweghwe, komligha mtambika mkulu we Imulungu!”

⁵Pauli kedika, “Ndughu tsangu, simanyile bae ka yeye ka mtambika mkulu, kwaapfila yandikighwa, ‘uleke kumlonga pfihile imtawala we iwanu wako.’ ”

⁶Kuya Pauli hayamanyile ka iwanu iwakalile hala, wamwenga tsawakala Masadukayo na wangi tsawakala Mafarisayo, kakemelela mne libaratsa lila, “Ndughu tsangu, nene na Mfarisayo, mwana wa Mfarisayo. Nene nohighighwa kwaapfila notoghola ka iwanu iwafile watsotsilihuka!”

⁷Baha hayalongile apfo, Masadukayo na Mafarisayo wandusa kwisonga, baho mtingano ghwighola.

⁸Kwaapfila Masadukayo wolonga kuduhu ukutsilihuka kwe iwanu, kuduhu wamalaika wala muhe, ila Mafarisayo wotoghola ghose agho.

⁹Tsakulawila hengele kulu, na iwalangulitsi wa ghamalaghitso iwakalile Mafarisayo wema, walonga kwa ingupfu, “Ng'atukona bae ichinu chochose ichihile kwa imunu ayu. Lamda malaika we Imulungu au muhe kalonga naye.”

¹⁰Hengele tsalikala kulu ng'ani, na ayula imkulu we asikali kapfuka iwanu wang'amghanile Pauli pfihindipfihindi. Apfo kalaghitsa iwanwele wahulumke, wamsole kwa ingupfu kulawa mne ghamoko ghawo, kuya wamghale mne liboma.

¹¹Chilo chila Imtwatsa tsakema habehi na Pauli, kamlongela, “Uleke kupfuka! Ka pfauwalongele mbuli tsangu iwanu wa hano Yerusalemu, pfipfila kobamighwa uwalongele iwanu Roma.”

¹²Nemitondo yake Wayahudi watingana, welaghana waleke ukuja wala ukunwa ichinu chochose mbaka hawatsomkoma Pauli.

¹³Na iwanu iwatendile apfo tsawakala wabita iwanu alubaini.

¹⁴Kuya waghenda kwe iwatambika wakulu ne iwabala, wawalongela, “Twilaha kuleka ukuja na ukunwa mbaka hatutsomkoma Pauli.

¹⁵Lelo mwemwe ne iwabala wa libaratsa mumlombe imkulu we asikali amghale Pauli kuna mwemwe, mtende ka mwobama kumanya pfinoghile mbuli tsake. Na twetwe twombeta mnzila tumkome ng'ana yapfike hano.”

¹⁶Lekeni mwighwaghe Pauli tsakahulika imbuli ayo, apfo kaghenda mne liboma, kamlongela Pauli mbuli ayo.

¹⁷Kuya Pauli kamkema mkulu yumwe we asikali kamlongela, “Umghale imsongolo yuno kwa imkulu we asikali, kana chinu kobama yamlongele.”

¹⁸Imkulu ayo kamsola imsongolo yula kamghala kwa imkulu we asikali, kamlongela, “Pauli, ayula mwohighwa tsakang'ema, kanilomba nikughalile imsongolo yuno kwaapfila kana chinu kobama yakulongele.”

¹⁹Imkulu we asikali kamkinda ghumoko imsongolo yula, kaghenda naye hambalimbali, kamghutsa, “Kobama unongele choni?”

²⁰Kamwidika, “Wayahudi wobama wakulombe ilupfi umghale Pauli kuna libaratsa, wotenda ka wobama wamanye pfinoghile mbuli tsake.

²¹Lekeni uleke kutoghola kwaapfila Wayahudi kubita wanu alubaini wombeta. Tsawelaha waleke ukuja wala ukunwa mbaka wamkome. Sambi wobeta, wololesa pfautsolamla.”

²²Imkulu ayo kamlongela imsongolo ayo, “Uleke kumlongela imunu wowose ka kunongela imbuli ino.” Kuya kamleka yoke.

²³Kuya kawakema iwakulu weli we asikali, kawalaghitsa, “Muwandae asikali miya mbili na iwadina farasi sabini na asikali iwokinda imighoha miya mbili, waghende Kaisariya saa tatu nechilo.

²⁴Mumwikile Pauli iwafalasi, mumghale tseghamba kwa Felikisi imtawala wa Chiroma mne isi ya Yudeya.”

²⁵Kuya kandika pfino ibaluwa,

²⁶“Mbukwa ghwe imbala Felikisi. Nene Kilaudi Lisiya nokwandikila ghweghwe mtawala,
