3Agho ghose twoghabokela na kukutoghola chila hanu ghamatsuwa ghose.

8Naghwe ung'amghutsa imunu yuno, kwodaha kughamanya ghose ighatutendile tumwing'e ghamaghomba.”
9Wayahudi nawo waghatoghola ghamaghomba agho, walonga apfo pfipfo pfaili.
10Imkulu we ghumkoa kamgholosela chidole Pauli ili alonge, Pauli kalonga, “Kwaapfila nomanya ghweghwe kwa imlamutsi we isi ino kwa imiyaka pilikichi, lelo neyamila kwa kudeng'elela.
11Kodaha kumanya imwenyegho, ng'aghabitile bae ghamatsuwa kumi na meli kulawa hanighendile Yerusalemu kutamanila.
12Iwanu wano ng'awambonile mne Ing'anda ye Imulungu nesonga ne imunu wowose, wala ukutenda hengele mne tsing'anda tse kulombela au hanu hohose mne ghumji.
13Nawo ng'awodaha bae kukulangusa maghomba ghawo kuna nene ka gholongesa.

15na nene nomlolela Imulungu ka wawo pfawomlolela, ka kuna ukutsilihuka kwe iwanu iwafile, wose iwanoghile ne iwehile.
16Apfo ghamatsuwa ghose nekatsa niwe na ghumoyo ghunoghile kwe Imulungu na kwe iwanu.
17“Tsanikala kutali kwa imiyaka mingi, lelo mbuya Yerusalemu kuwaghalila nzawadi iwahingwa we isi yangu na kulapfa nambiko.
18Tsawambona mne Ing'anda ye Imulungu haning'ali notenda pfinu apfo, tsawanipfika nimalitsa ukudeghetetsighwa. Tsakukala haduhu iwanu wengi hamwe na nene, kuya tsahaduhu hengele lyolyose.
19Lekeni tsakukala na Wayahudi wangi iwalawile isi ya Asiya, hawo tsawabamighwa wawe hano hambele hako kughala lighomba ka wana imbuli yoyose kuna nene.
20Au iwanu wano iwenyegho walonge totso lyachi lyawonile kuna nene hanyimile hambele ha libalatsa,
21ila tsanonga chinu chino kwa kukemelela hambele hawo, ‘Nohighighwa kwaapfila notoghola iwanu watsotsilihuka.’ ”
22Kuya Felikisi, iyamanyile ghoya mbuli tse Inzila ila, kemitsa lighomba alyo, kawalongela, “Nitsolamla lighomba lyenu hayatsokutsa Lisiya, imkulu we asikali.”
23Kuya kamlaghitsa imkulu we asikali yamlolese Pauli, lekeni yamlekele chidogho, na yawaleke sale tsake wamwapfile.
24Haghabitile ghamatsuwa mengi Felikisi katsa na mwehe wake Dulisila, iyakalile Myahudi. Kalaghitsa Pauli yakemighwe na kamtegheletsa hayang'ali yolonga mbuli tse ukumtoghola Yesu Kiristu.
25Lekeni Pauli hayang'ali yoghendelela ukulonga mbuli iimtenda imunu yanoghe hambele he Imulungu, na mbuli tsa kuwa na kiyasi, na mbuli tse litsuwa lya ukuhighighwa ilikutsa, Felikisi ang'ali yopfuka, kalonga, “Uleke tanu, sambi kodaha kughenda, hanitsopata nyafasi nitsokukema.”
26Kuya Feliksi tsayang'ali yololela ka Pauli ang'amwing'ile sendi, apfo chila mala tsakamkema na kulonga naye.
27Imiyaka mili haimalile, Polikiyo Festo tsakambokela Felikisi kutawala, kawa imkulu we isi. Lekeni kwaapfila Felikisi tsakabama awadeng'elese Wayahudi, kamleka Pauli mwigheletsa.
