Obheeri kye enyiki yino ehakirwe echokaa! Ndora wiikeeri hano, okubha onitinire ekiina kwo okuriingʼaana ne emigiro, nawe awe omweene orasarya emigiro kwo okuswaagya kubha nitemwe oruhi!”
4 Abhaatu bhano bhaari bhiimeereeri embarika wa Pauro bhakamubhuurira, “Awe, otana soni okumutuka omuseengeri omukuru wa Taatabhugya?”

6 Kwiibhaga riyo, Pauro yaari amenyiri kubha gati waabhu bhariho Abhasadukayo na Abhafarisayo, ekagirya akagaamba kwe eriiraka ikuru akabhuga, “Emwe abhahiiri bhaane, enye ni Mufarisayo, omwaana wa Abhafarisayo. Gano gakugirya nitinirwe emigiro, ni kwo okwiisiga kubha abhaku bhararyooka.” 7 Hano Pauro yamariri kugaamba, hakabha ne eriiyoge gati wa Abhafarisayo na Abhasadukayo, bhakatwaanikana amahizo abhiri. 8 Bhakatwaanikana kwo okubha Abhasadukayo bharaanga kubha obhuryoori bhutariho, bhamaraika na amasaambwa goosi gatariho. Nawe Abhafarisayo ebho bhariikirirya kubha bhiyo bhyoosi bhiriho.

Abhamwe bha abheegya bhe emigiro bhano bhaari Abhafarisayo, bhakiimeerera, bhakahakana bharabhuga, “Bhutariho obhubhi bhuno turuuzi kumuutu wuno. Hamwe ekoro kasi maraika agaambiri neewe!” 10 Abhakuru bha Abhayahudi bhayo bhakahakana bhukongʼu, tee omukuru wa abhasirikare akoobhoha kubha bhaangamurwaanirye Pauro. Ekagirya abhabhuurire abhasirikare bhaaye kubha bhasikire gatigati wa Abhayahudi kwa amanaga, okubha bhamutuurye Pauro, bhamuhire munyuumba yaabhu.
11 Obhutiku bhuyobhuyo, Omukuru Yeesu akiimeerera haguhi na Pauro, akamubhuurira, “Tema ekubhi! Kyeego okanimenyeekererya Yerusaremu hano, niigo ego ereenderwa onimenyeekererye mumugye gwa Rooma.”
Abhayahudi bharakora omukoonyo gwo okumwiita Pauro
12 Hano bhwakiiri, Abhayahudi abhaandi bhakakora ekiina no okwiirahirira kubha, bhiisiitye okurya ebhyaakurya no okunywa, tee bhamwiite Pauro. 13 Abhaatu bhano bhaakoriri obhwiirahiri bhuyo, bhaari bharakira abhaatu miroongo ene (40). 14 Kweego bhakagya kubhakuru bha abhaseengeri na abhakaruka bha Abhayahudi, bhakabhabhuurira, “Twiirahiiri kubha twiisiitye okurya ebhyaakurya no okunywa, tee tumwiite Pauro. 15 Bhoono, emwe hamwe na abhakuru abharikyeenyu bhe ekiina mumusabhe omukuru wa abhasirikare abhareetere Pauro. Mwiikore kubha mureenda kumenyeekererya bhuzomu iguru ya amangʼana gano tumuzoongeeri. Etwe tumwiiratire munzira tumwiite, akyaari kuhika hano.”
16 Nawe, omwiihwa wa Pauro akiigwa omukoonyo gwa Abhayahudi bhayo, kyaamwe akagya munyuumba ya abhasirikare yiyo, amuzweenie Pauro. 17 Niho Pauro akamubhirikira omukuru owumwe wa abhasirikare, akamubhuurira, “Omuhire omumura wuno kumukuru weenyu, ane engʼana yo okumubhuurira.”
18 Kweego omukuru wuyo akamuhira kumukuru waabhu, akamubhuurira, “Omubhohwa wurya Pauro, anibhirikiiri akaanisabha kubha nimureete omumura wuno owaazo, ane engʼana yo okukubhuurira.”
19 Omukuru wa abhasirikare wuyo akamugwaata omumura okubhoko, akamuhira kibhezo, akamubhuurya, “Oreenda kumbuuriraki?”
20 Omumura wuyo akamukyoora, “Abhayahudi bhakoriri omukoonyo kubha bhakusabhe obhareetere Pauro embere wa abhakuru bhaabhu izo. Bharakukaangirirya kubha bhareenda kumenyeekererya amangʼana gano azoongeerwe. 21 Nawe otabhiikiriirirya, kwo okubha bhariho Abhayahudi kukira miroongo ene (40) bharamwiiteengera Pauro munzira, okubha hano araahite bhamwiite. Abhaatu bhayo, bhiirahiiri na bhiisiitirye okurya ebhyaakurya no okunywa, tee bhamwiite. Bhoono bhiibhanwiiri, bharaganya obhiikirirye.”
22 Kyaamwe omukuru wuyo wa abhasirikare akamubhuurira omumura wuyo, “Otamubhuurira omuutu wuyo woosi kubha onizweenirye engʼana yino.” Akamuhaatira agye.
Pauro arahirwa kumwaanaangwa Feriki
23 Okumara omukuru wuyo wa abhasirikare akabhabhirikira abhamenyeekererya bhabhiri bhi iyaasi waaye, akabhabhuurira, “Mubhanure abhasirikare amagana abhiri (200) bhano bharaagye kwa amaguru, hamwe na abhaandi miroongo muhuungati (70) bhano bharaagye kuziifaraasi, na abhaandi amagana abhiri (200) bhano bharaagye bhagwaatiriiri amatimu. Bhoosi bhayo bharwe hano eriibhaga rya katatu obhutiku, bhasikire mumugye gwa Kaisaria. 24 Pauro woosi ahaabhwe eziifaraasi, okubha ahike bhuzomu kumwaanaangwa Feriki.”
25 Omukuru wa abhasirikare wuyo akakaama enyaarubha yino ekubhuga,
26 “Omuguungibhwa omwaanaangwa Feriki, enye Kiraudio Risia nirakukeerya. 27 Omuutu wuno yagwaatirwe na Abhayahudi, bhakeenda bhamwiite. Hano namenyiri kubha ni Murooma, nikagya hamwe na abhasirikare bhaane, nikamutuurya. 28 Nikeenda kumenya kino Abhayahudi bhakumuzoongeera, ekagirya nimuhire embere we ekiina kyaabhu. 29 Nikangʼura kubha bharamuzoongera kwa amabhuuryo gano gari iguru we emigiro gyaabhu. Nawe mugano bhaamuzoongeeri, ritariho ingʼana ryoryoosi rino riingagirirye yiitwe, naabhe kubhohwa. 30 Hano nazweeniibhwe amangʼana kubha kuno omukoonyo iguru waaye, ekagirya nimureete bhwaangu kwaawe. Na nikabhabhuurira abhazoongeri bhaaye, bhagye bhamuzoongere embere waazo.”
31 Kweego abhasirikare bhayo bhakamugega Pauro kyaabhurya bhaabhuuriirwe, bhakamuhira obhutiku bhuyobhuyo tee mumugye gwa Antipatiri. 32 Hano bhwakiiri, abhasirikare bhano bhaagiiri kwa amaguru bhakakyoora munyuumba yaabhu, bhakabhatiga abharikyaabhu bhano bhaagiiri kwe eziifaraasi nibho bhagye hamwe na Pauro. 33 Hano abhasirikare bhe eziifaraasi bhaahikiri Kaisaria hayo, bhakamuhaana mumabhoko go omwaanaangwa enyaarubha yiyo, hamwe na Pauro. 34 Omwaanaangwa hano yamariri kusoma enyaarubha yiyo, akabhabhuurya, “Omuutu wuno ni wa kyaaroki?” Hano bhaamubhuuriiri Pauro ni we ekyaaro kya Kirikia, 35 akamubhuurira, “Amangʼana gaazo, ndagiitegeerera hano abhazoongeri bhaazo bharaahike.” Niho omwaanaangwa akaswaagya kubha Pauro ariibhwe munyuumba yo omutemi Herode.
