Kakilidumba kukita mwene ndo mundu nhwadali. 10 Bhandu bhoha achoko kwa akulu bhakinnyihwa maha na bhakilongela, “Simoni ndo makakala gha Chapanga ghaakemitwe ‘Makakala Makulu.’ ” 11 Bhandu bhakinoghehwa muno kiyaha kwa manjubha matangalo kakiakangahya bhandu kwa uhabhi ghwake. 12 Peni paaulihyubhalilite lilagho lya Filipi kwa kya Nhalo ghwa maha ghwa ghubhutwa ghwa Chapanga na lihina lya Yesu kilisito, bhakibatiswa alume na adala. 13 Naywo Simoni kakihyubhalila na kakibatiswa. Kakintughila Filipo kwoheli kwaghendite, kakibhughanikwa pakabhonite naho na mihabho mikulu yiitendekite.
14 Bhala andumitumi bhaabheghite kula ku Yelusalemu paayihwite kukita akolannima bha akwo ku Samalia bhakilihyubhalila lilagho lya Chapanga, bhakialaghila akwo Petili na Yohana bhabhaghendele akwo ku Samalia. 15 Paahikite bhakiayupila kwa Chapanga abho bhandu bhaanhyubhalilite Kilisito ngati bhannkingame Nhuki ghwa Chapanga. 16 Kiyaha Nhuki ghwa Chapanga kakibha kaakali kuahulukila hata yumu ywabhe, maha bhakibatiswa ghweka kwa lihina lya Bambo Yesu. 17 Hinu Petili na Yohana bhakiayabhikila mabhoko ghabhe unani mwabhe na kuayupila, nabho bhakinkingama Nhuki ghwa Chapanga.

20 Peni Petili kakinnyanga, “Ghuhobhelele kutali na ngalabha hyako, kiyaha ghungughwacha ghwahotola kuhemela makakala gha Chapanga kwa ngalabha! 21 Ghwenga ghubhegha ng'obhe papamu na twenga mulihengo ali, kiyaha mwoyo ghwakwo ghubhegha tela ng'obhe na Chapanga. 22 Kya habhu ghulipetule huti uhokelo ghwakwo na, ghunnyupe Bambo pangi kaghulekekehe mahwacho ghaghubheghite naghwo mu mwoyo ghwakwo. 23 Kulyaghila nenga nungukubhona ghumemwa tama muno na mbhandwa ghwa ulemwa.”
24 Simoni kakiyanga, “Ketaketa munnyupile kwa Bambo, ngati likotoke kundula lyoheli mu agha ghamughakambukite.”
25 Paayomolite kulangiha ubhoneho na kulandamiha lilagho lya Bambo, bhakibhuya ku Yelusalemu. Paabheghite bhangubhuya bhakialandamiha bhandu Nhalo ghwa Maha mu hijiji hitangalo hya akwo ku Samalia.
Filipo kangunbatisa nkulu ywa ku Esiopia
26 Linjubha limu Ndumitumi ghwa kunane kwa Chapanga kakinng'ombela Filipo, “Ghughenda mbande ya kusi njila yiikindilite ku kibhala yiihulukite kuhuma ku Yelusalemu kughenda ku Gaza.” 27 Hino Filipo kakiyanda mwanja. Pakabheghite mu njila kakikongana na mundu yumu ywakaponelitwe na lukuhu, mundu aywo kakibhegha mmika utopelo ghwa utabhala ghwa mutwa nndala Kandake ghwa ku Esiopia, pakabhuya ukaya mumutuka ya kukwakwaghwa na anyama. Mundu aywo, kakibha kangubhuya kuhuma ku Yelusalemu kuntundamila Chapanga. 28 Naywo pakabheghite mumutuka yake kubhuya ukaya, kakibha kangulisomela kitabho kya mbuyi ghwa Chapanga ywakakemitweghe Isaya. 29 Nhuki ghwa Chapanga kaking'ombela Filipo, “Gughende kumutuka yila ghubheghe pambwegha yake na ghulongoane nalyo.” 30 Filipo kakilitughila mutuka lila na kakinnyihwa yula mundu pakasoma kitabho kya Mbuyi ghwa Chapanga ywakakemitweghe Isaya. Habhu Filipo kakinkonya, “Bhuli ghungumanya agha ghaghughasoma?”
31 Yula nkulu kakilongela, “Ndamanya bhuli kya nga mundu ywakunfwambulila?” Apwo yula nkulu kakinnyupa Filipi kayingile mumutuka na katame papamo naywo. 32 Kipalamande kya matyeko mang'anyimo kyakasomiteghe nkulu aywo ndo aki:
“Kakilongohwa kughenda kumahinjo handa mene,
na handa bhula mwana mene pakinyamala jii pakakeketwa mayuni,

33 Kakiyuyuhwa na bhakimmonela.
Ndo ghani ywakahotola kulubhulila kibheleko kyake,
kiyaha ulami ghwake ghubhuhwa pannima.”
34 Aywo ywakaponelitwi na lukuhu kakinkonya Filipo, “Chonde ghung'ombele, agha matyeko gha mbuyi ghwa Chapanga ghangulongela mihalo ghani? Ghangulongela mihalo ya kya mwene ebu mihalo ya kya mundu yungi?” 35 Peni Filipo kakiyanda kunfwambulila kipalamande akyo kya Matyeko Mang'anyimo, na kakinlubhulila Nhalo ghwa Maha ghwa Yesu. 36 Paabheghite mumwanja ghwabhe bhakihika paghabheghiti machi, yula nkulu kaking'ombela Filipo, “Ghulole, machi agha apa, kilibhi ghani kya kunganikiha ngotoke kubatiswa?” 37 Filipo kaking'ombela yula nkulu, “Handa ghuhyubhalila kwa mwoyo ghwakwo yinguholwa kubatiswa.” Yula nkulu kakiyanga, “Nunguhyubhalila kukita Yesu Kilisito ndo Mwana ghwa Chapanga.”
38 Ndo yula nkulu kakikwilikiha mutuka iyime. Hinu bhoha abhili bhakihuluka na kakighen mu machi, na Filipo kakimbatisa. 39 Paabhukite mu machi, kamu Nhuki ghwa Bambo kakinnyahula Filipo, na yula nkulu kakimmona kangi ng'obhe, peni kakighendelela na mwanja ghwake kwa uyelelo. 40 Filipo kakilimanya kabha ku nnima ghwa Azoto, paakityanga na kulandamila Nhalo ghwa Maha mu milima hyoha mbaka pala pakahikite ku Kaisalia.
