SANG'HANO 26:24-32

²⁴Paulo viyakalile yogendelela kuigombela, Festo kadang'hila, kabwata yolonga, “Paulo, kuna moyo! Kusoma ng'hani kuusomile kukugela kibozi!”

²⁵Ila Paulo kedika, “Nabule kibozi, Mndewa! Ila nolonga kinhu cha kweli, kuno nili na nzonzi zangu.

²⁶Kwavija Mndewa Agilipa, kuzitanga mbuli zino, na nie nodaha kulonga bila kudumba, kwavija novitanga kamba haduhu hata mbuli imwe mzimbuli hizo iulekile kuitanga, kwavija mbuli ino haitendeke mkifiso.

²⁷Mndewa Agilipa, vino, kowatogola wahokozi wa umwaka? Novitanga kamba kowatogola.”

²⁸Agilipa kamulongela Paulo, “Kokwagiza kamba mkipigiti kino kiguhi kodaha kunitenda nie nimtogole Kilisto?”

²⁹Paulo kamwidika, “Kiwe kipigiti kiguhi ama kitali, ila nomtambikila Mulungu kamba siyo gweye wiyeka, ila hata waja wose wonitegeleza nie lelo wagaluke wawe kamba vunili nie, ila sambiwafungilizwe minyolo ino.”

³⁰Abaho, Mndewa Agilipa, mkulu wa ikiwambo, Benike, na waja wose wakalile hamoja nao wema.

³¹Viwacholile, wailongela, “Munhu ino hatendile mbuli yoyose ihile ya kumtenda yatagusigwe ifa, ama kugeligwa mkifungo.”

³²Agilipa kamulongela Festo, “Munhu ino yahalekesigwe kamba yahalekile kuigala hamwande mbuli yake ha Kaisali.”
