¹⁵U sakwa oo waha u pooha poonnena, u pooha nakana tuwazoo. No'obatoosoo numu sakwa u tuukwe.

¹⁶Nu baa-wi u matzakakwu. U ka Te Pabe'e Jesus-matoo nanesootuhina, soo Te Pabe'e suda u tumaduguna u-makoo namatzakakwunikwu. O'no yise u besa nuummakwu.’

¹⁷Ka saa'a nu Jerusalem-witoo kodyukase, nu nanesootuhina, ka tammesoo nanesootuhi nobe-kwi'yoona, nu meeoo tuusoobedya.

¹⁸E tuusoobedya-kwi Te Pabe'e nu-kumaba wunuse meeoo e netamma, ‘Yabe sapa Jerusalem-wi'yoona meahoo. Mu Jew numu gi u naka'oedyuku-wa'ne'yoo too'e nu-kwitu besa u wahasapa.’

¹⁹Nu meeoo unakwe, ‘Umu sumuna e nakapunnekwu ka puusoo oo sopedakwatoona, nu uga umu u-kwi tunaka'oedyukudu ka ne tunehanedu-kobena'yoona kusekana, mu wutumeta.

²⁰Nu, o'no o ka mu Jew numu ka Stephen tupe-ma natatzagaze, o wununa nu mu tummatza'e, ka mu wunagapu hemapunnena.’

²¹Soo Te Pabe'e yise mee e netamma, ‘U sakwa mea. Nu oona kwinga'atoo mu wakwawa'a-matoo u tayakwu,’ ” mee'e soo Paul nanekwaha.

²⁴Ewatse suda mu unnegonno soo mu Roman tukwutumadu pabe'e umu tu tukwutumawabe ka Paul ka tukwutumadu nobe-kwitoo bigase ooka mu wupageta tuungu. Soo mu moohedu ka Paul meeoo soobedyana oosoo sakwa sumuna pumme tu wupagetase, ka suda tu manena waha.

²⁵Ka pummetu tzakunayakwe soo Paul ka tukwutumawabe moohedu putsage'e wunudu meeoo netamma, “Nu yaahoo Roman numu ooonne'yoona ka gisoo e nanehane, u gi e wupageta-wa'ne'yoo. Tamme Roman numu gi yoo nuugwe-wa'ne'yoo. Oosoo tamme tumayohope o.”

²⁶Soo tukwutumawabe ka oo nakase meahoo ka pumme moohedu-matoosoo mease, meeoo oo netamma, “Tamme suda manakwe ka ekow nana wupagetakwuse. Esoo tookwa yise tamme Roman numu-matu.”

²⁷Soo mu tukwutumadu moohedu ka Paul-baa petuse, meeoo oo tubenga, “U haa'a togesapa numme Roman numu-matu?” “Aha,” mee soo Paul.

²⁸Soo mu tukwutumadu moohedu mee unakwe, “Nu Roman numu namayugwepu, nu ewa oo e mane-kwi tumanagapu.” Soo Paul yise meeoo, “Nu yow ooosapa tubetse Roman numu.”
