Bhela Alekizanda akabhakinyuli bhandu kwa chiwoku chaki koni akapala kulikengalela palongi ja lipogha la bhandu lela. 34 Nambu pabhamanyiki kubha jombi Myahude, bhokapi bhakajamalili papamu kwa chikahi cha masaa ghabhele, bhakapwaghaje, “Alitemi wa ku Efeso nde Nkolongwa!”
35 Pakujomukela chiongozi jumu wa muchi akabhatumbalishi bhandu, akapwaghaje, “Mabhalongu bhangu Bhaefeso! Bho, bhandu bhokapi bha pundema le ngachebhamanyi kubha bhenei bha pa Efeso nde bhabhapalika kulenda nyumba ja ichapanga Alitemi na chimong'umong'u chaki chekiheli kuhuma kunani kumahunde? 36 Njeta mundu joaweza kukana mambu ghangane. Bhela, impalika ntumbalaje na ngamwihenga chindu chokapi chela panga na kuholalela. 37 Maghambu mubhaletiki bhandu abhabha pambane, hata koni ngachebhajibhiki hindu ya munyumba jaka kichapanga Alitemi, wala kuitondola ichapanga hitu ya chimbomba. 38 Ana ngati Demetilio na mafundi bhajaki bhabhi na matakilu panani jaka mundu jokapi jola, kubhi na pachengo na bhakolongwa bha mikoa, bhaweza kujenda kutakila konihoku. 39 Nambu ana ngati mbi na mambu ghangi, ghapalika ghajomukanya pa uhimanganu ghoupalika. 40 Maghambu kubhokana na mambu ghaghapitali lalenu, bhaweza kututakila kubha tuletiki fujo. Kabheti njeta lilobhi letuweza kulilongela kwa kulanda ndandi ja kuhenga uhimanganu ghongone.” 41 Bhela chiongozi hoju paakalongi malobhi ghanihagha, akabhapwaghi bhandu bhabhokaje.
