Baho Paulo akavaleka, akavanyamule vachulila vake na kuywanga nawo kila kigono mulidamo lya mawulanicha lya munu yumwi yeikemelwa Tilano.10Makani ago gikaendeleya chipindi cha miyaka givili, hata Vayawudi na vanu se Vayawudi venekaye va Asia, vakawesile kulipulika luchowo lwa Mtwa Yesu.11Nguluvi akagitile umanyitu mikomi kuchumbila Paulo.12Hata fitambala na mwenda gwegimubyalise Paulo vikavikilwe kukyanya lya vatamwa, nawo vakananile matamwa gyawo na mahoka vakavahuma.13Ila Vayawudi vamonga vene kuyuvanjuva kuno na kuno vidaga mahoka vigecha kutumila litawa lya Mtwa Yesu kwa kugalongela mahoka, “Ndikuvaswitilicha muhege kwa litawa lya Yesu, yula yeidalikwa na Paulo.”14Vangi vevakali vigita ndeni vakali vana vakigosi saba va Sikewa, yeakali kilongochi va vatekechi va Kiyawudi.15Ila kigono kimwi, lihoka likavalongela vana va Sikewa, “Ndikumchela Yesu na ndikumchela Paulo, ila nyenye va ani?”16Baho yula munu yeakali na lihoka akavang'etukila na akavaginile ludali na kuvatova hilo. Na vana va Sikewa vakanyila kuhuma kwivala lya yila kaye ufula na kuno valemichwe muvili.17Kila munu ukoya Ifeso, Myawudi na se Myawudi, akapulike lukani hulo. Vonda vingie na wogofi, vakalinjuma litawa lya Mtwa Yesu.18Vanu volofu vevamdikie Yesu vakahumile pawelu na vakahongecha kuleka kugita mawofu.19Vamonga vevakali vagitile uhavi pamwindi, vakasindike figanilo fyao na kufinyanya lyoto pautalo lya vanu. Pevavalile galama hilo lya figanulo fyefinyanyilwe lyoto fikali fipande fya madini fya fesa elufu amusini.20Ifyo luchowo lwa Mtwa lwaginile kulutala konda na kuva na ludali hilo.21Pechichumbile njowo icho, Paulo akalamuwe kuhelela ku Yelusalemu kwa kuchumbila ku Makadoniya na ku Akaya. Peakali mung'asi ilongile munumbula lyake, “Pendifika ukoya, dandihela ku Loma.”22Ifyo akavalagicha vatanga vake vavili, Timotewo na Ilasito, vamlongole kuhelela ku Makedoniya na mwene akasigalie ku Asia kwa chipindi chidodo.23Chipindi icho kukahumile ndewo ngomi ukoya Ifeso kwakuva lya ng'asi yila lya Mtwa.24Ndewo ugo ikavangichwe na munu mvatula feza yeakemelwe Demetilio, yeakali ihongola ling'omung'omu lya feza cha kaye lya nguluvi mukidala yeakemeliwe Alitemi.
