Matendo ya Mitume 17:23-33

²³Kwani kwa kupetela kwa nene ni kulola fenu fya muenga fya kuabud, nighabhuene malobhi gha ghalembibhu mu madhabahu ghinu, ghijobha, “KWA K'YARA JHA AMANYIKENE LEPI.” Efyo basi ojhu jha mukamwabudu pasipokumanya ndo jhanikabhajulisha muenga.

²⁴K'yara jhaabhombili bhulimwengu ni kila khenu kya kijhele mugati kwakujha ndo Bwana ghwa mbingu ni nchi ibhwesya lepi kutama mu mahekalu gha ghatengenesibhu ni mabhoko.

²⁵Na itumikibhwa lepi ni mabhoko gha bhanadamu kana kwamba ilonda khenu kwa bhene kwani, muene akabhapela bhanu uzima ni pumzi ni fenu fengi fyoha.

²⁶Kup'etela munu mmonga, aghabhombi mataifa ghoha gha bhanu bhabhitama panani pa uso bhwa dunia ni kubhabhekela nyakati ni mipaka mu maeneo gha bhatama.

²⁷Henu, bhilondeka kundonda K'yara, ni yamkini bhamfikilayi ni kun'kabha, ni kwa bhuhakika ajhelepi patali ni khila mmonga bhitu.

²⁸kwa muene twitama twigenda ni kujha ni uzima bhwitu, kama vile mtunzi ghwa jhomu mmonga ghwa shairi bho ajobhili twebhazawa bha muene.

²⁹Henu ikajhelayi tete twebhazaiwa bha K'yara, twilondeka lepi kufikiri kujha uungu ni kama dhahabu, au shaba, au maganga, sanamu jhajhichongibhu kwa ustadi ni mawazo gha bhanu.

³⁰Henu, K'yara agudeme nyakati sela sya bhujinga, lakini henu iamuru bhanu bhoha kila mahali bhabhwesya kutubu.

³¹Ejhe kwa ndabha abhekili ligono lya ilonda kujhihukumu dunia kwa haki kwa munu jhaan'chaguili. K'yara apisisi bhuhakika bhwa munu ojho kwa khila munu pala paamfufuili kuhoma kwa bhafu.

³²Ni bhanu bha Athene bho bhap'eliki habari jha kufufulibhwa kwa bhafu, baadhi jha bhene bhan'dhihakili Paulo ila bhangi bhakajobha, Tukuup'elekesya kabhele kwa habari jha lijambo e'le.”

³³Baada jha apu, Paulo akabhaleka.
