4 Abaali baamiliiye haai-haai na Paulo baamughila bati, “Olimabbaaki̱i̱si̱ya mukulu wa bahongi̱ boona wa Luhanga?”
5 Paulo aakuukamu ati, “Baana baamaaha munganile, naabaagha ntamani̱ye ngoku ali mukulu wa bahongi̱ boona. Nanga kihandi̱i̱ku̱u̱we ngu, ‘Otali̱bu̱ghʼo kubhi oghu alemi̱ye bantu baa ewaanu.’* ”

Ti̱ baamemba abaabaagha mu Lukulato olu beebaghani̱jamu kabili, 8 nanga Basadukaayo beegheesi̱yagha bati baku̱u̱ye tabali̱hu̱mbu̱u̱ka, baamalai̱ka tabaliyo kandi na mi̱li̱mu̱ teeliyo. Bhaatu Bafali̱saayo bo beegheesi̱yagha bati ebi byona biliyo. 9 Baamemba baa lukulato aba bahakanganilana kimui, du̱mbi̱ beegheesi̱ya baa bilaghilo bʼomu kitebe kya Bafali̱saayo baamuka, baatandika kughila bati, “Musaasa oghu taali na musango bbaa. Kedha majima mwoyo kandi malai̱ka aabu̱ghi̱ye naye!”
10 Beeyongelela kimui kuhakangana, ti̱ mukulu wa baasilikale oghu aabaaghʼo oobahila kimui amani̱ye ati basobola kwita Paulo. Nahabweki aalaghila baasilikale be kuuya Paulo oghu mu bantu aba na ki̱ku̱bha, kumutwala mu bbalaki̱si̱.
11 Ti̱ obu bwali̱ye, kilo eki mu kilo, Mukama Yesu aabonekela Paulo aamuumilila nga haala, aamughila ati, “Paulo ogume, nanga ngoku wampeleeye buukai̱so mu bantu baa Yelusaalemu hani niikuwo okubumpeela otiyo mu bantu bʼomu kibugha kya Looma.”
Bayu̱daaya mbahanuula kwita Paulo
12-13 Obu bwakeeye Bayu̱daaya basaaye maku̱mi̱ anaa baagumbaana kutegheka ngoku balaata Paulo. Baalahila bati tabakuliya kedha kunuwa kantu koona batakamwi̱ti̱ye. 14 Niibuwo bamui mu Bayu̱daaya aba baaghendi̱ye ewaa bakulu baa bahongi̱ hamui na bengei̱ baa Bayu̱daaya baabaghila bati, “Twalahiliiye kimui tuti tatukuliya kedha kunuwa kantu koona tutakaati̱ye Paulo. 15 Nahabweki twategheki̱ye tuti; enu̱we baamemba baa Lukulato Lukulu musabe mukulu wa baasilikale baa Looma kubaleetele Paulo oghu; mube nga bantu bakubbala kweyongela kwetegheeleli̱ya musango ghuwe. Etu̱we tu̱ku̱mwebi̱si̱i̱li̱la tumwite atakaki̱dhi̱ye mu Lukulato.”
16 Bhaatu obu Bayu̱daaya aba baabu̱ghagha ebi, muuhuwa wa Paulo aabaaghu̱wa mbabu̱gha, du̱mbi̱ aaghenda, aataaha mu bbalaki̱si̱ aaghambila Paulo. 17 Paulo aabilikila omui mu bakulu baa baasilikale aamughila ati, “Gutu otwale mwana oni ewaa mukulu waanu nanga ali nʼeki akubbala kumughambila.” 18 Nahabweki mukulu wa baasilikale ki̱ku̱mi̱ oghu aatwala mwana oghu ewaa mukulu wabo aamughila ati, “Mukama wanje, munankomo Paulo ambilikiiye, ansaba kukuleetela mwana oni ati ali na makulu ghaamaani̱ agha akubbala kukughambila.” 19 Niibuwo mukulu oghu aakwete mwana oghu haa mukono, aamutwala haakpengbu̱ aamu̱bu̱u̱li̱ya ati, “Mbiki okubbala kungambila?”
20 Mwana oghu aamughila ati, “Bamui mu Bayu̱daaya baahi̱ki̱lani̱i̱je kukusaba kubaleetela Paulo mu Lukulato lwabo munkiya, niikuwo babe nga bantu bakubbala kutodha kwetegheeleli̱ya musango ghuwe kusemeeye. 21 Bhaatu gutu otasi̱i̱ma kukola eki bakukusaba nanga basaasa basaaye maku̱mi̱ anaa baaghu̱wane kumuleketa mu kihanda kandi baalahiliiye kimui kutaliya kedha kunuwa kantu koona ku̱hi̱ki̱ya bamwi̱ti̱ye. Kandi nʼendindi beeteekani̱i̱je kumwita. Eki banalindiliiye kyonkaha ni uwe kubaleetela ye mu Lukulato.”
22 Niibuwo mukulu oghu aghi̱li̱ye mwana oghu ati, “Otaghambila muntu nʼomui ngoku wangambiiye bintu ebi!” Du̱mbi̱ aaghila mwana oghu ati aghende ewaabo e ka.
Mbatwala Paulo ewaa mu̱lemi̱ Feli̱ki̱si̱
23 Niibuwo mukulu wa baasilikale oghu aabilikiiye bakulu baa baasilikale ki̱ku̱mi̱-ki̱ku̱mi̱ babili aabalaghila ati, “Muteekani̱je baasilikale bi̱ku̱mi̱ bibili mu bakulwanagha bakwete mati̱mu̱, hamui na banji nsanju̱ abakulwanagha bani̱i̱ni̱ye haagu̱u̱li̱ ya nkai̱na. Obwalo saaha esatu syʼekilo mughende nabo mu kibugha kya Kai̱saali̱ya. 24 Kandi mubbalile Paulo bisolo byaku̱ni̱i̱na, ti̱ mulole ngu mwamu̱ki̱dhi̱i̱ye kusemeeye e Kai̱saali̱ya ewaa mu̱lemi̱ Fi̱li̱ki̱si̱.”
25 Du̱mbi̱ mukulu oghu aahandiika bbaluwa ati,
26 “Ewaa mu̱lemi̱ oghu bahu̱ti̱li̱i̱ye kimui Fi̱li̱ki̱si̱. Oliyo oti̱ya bilo bini? 27 Naakutumila musaasa Paulo oghu. Bayu̱daaya bakamukwata kandi bakaba bali haai kumwita, bhaatu muntu angambila ngoku ali Munalooma, du̱mbi̱ naabeegimba na baasilikale banje naabataasu̱li̱ya ye. 28 Kandi naabbala kumanya eki̱leki̱ye bakwete kumunyegheelela bati aakoli̱ye, nahabweki naamutwala mu Lukulato Lukulu lwabo. 29 Niibuwo neetegheleei̱ye ngoku ebi bakumunyegheelela bikwataanʼo na mpaka sya bilaghilo byabo. Bhaatu kusighikila mu bilaghilo bya bu̱lemi̱ bwa Looma, taali na musango ghwa kuleka mbamwita nankabha kumuta mu nkomo. 30 Niibuwo muntu angambiiye ngoku Bayu̱daaya aba baahanuuye ku̱mwebi̱si̱i̱li̱la niikuwo bamwite. Du̱mbi̱ naacuwamu kukusindikila ye bwangu, niikuwo ocu̱wemu nsonga esi. Kandi naalaghiiye dhee abakwete kumunyegheelela kwisa hambali oli, niikuwo bakusoboolole ebi aakoli̱ye. Weesalʼo. Ni̱i̱si̱ye Kalau̱di̱yo Li̱si̱ya.”
31 Nahabweki baasilikale abaakomeeu̱we aba baatwala Paulo mukilo ngoku baabalaghiiye, baamu̱helekeeleli̱ya ku̱lu̱gha Yelusaalemu ku̱hi̱ka mu tau̱ni̱ ya Antipaati̱li̱i̱si̱. 32 Kilo ekyalabhi̱yʼo baasilikale abaalubhatangagha baakuuka mu bbalaki̱si̱ e Yelusaalemu. Abaabaagha bani̱i̱ni̱ye bisolo niibo baatwete Paulo baamu̱ki̱dhi̱ya e Kai̱saali̱ya. 33 Obu baasilikale aba baaki̱dhi̱ye e Kai̱saali̱ya baaha mu̱lemi̱ Fi̱li̱ki̱si̱ bbaluwa eghi, du̱mbi̱ baamukwati̱ya Paulo.
34 Mu̱lemi̱ oghu aaghisoma du̱mbi̱ aabu̱u̱li̱ya Paulo kyalo eki alu̱ghi̱yemu. Paulo aamukuukamu ati “Ndu̱ghi̱ye mu kyalo kya Ki̱li̱ki̱ya.” 35 Niibuwo mu̱lemi̱ oghu aamu̱ghi̱li̱ye ati, “Nku̱u̱ghu̱wa musango ghwawe abakwete kukunyegheelela mbaaki̱dhi̱ye hani.” Du̱mbi̱ Fi̱li̱ki̱si̱ oghu aalaghila baasilikale be kulinda Paulo oghu ali munyankomo. Baamulindila mu kikaali eki Mukama Helude aati̱ghi̱ye akweye.
