Abo bemeezi baliiri babwira Paawulo kulengera obuhashe bwa Muuka-Mutagatiifu oku arhazamukiraga eYerusaleema. 5 Aliko ezoola siku zabeere zahika oku buzinda, rhwagenda. Abemeezi booshi barhuherekeza, abalume na bakaabo haguma n'abaana baabo, barhukuula omu gishagala. Rhwafukama emushengo, rhwanasaliira. 6 Rhwabeere rhwamala guseezerana, rhwaja omu chombo, nabo bagaluka emwabo.

7 Rhwarhenga eTiiro, rhwagendeerera kubalama guhika omu gishagala ch'eTolemaayi. Eyo munda, rhwalamusa abemeezi, rhwanabeera emwabo lusiku luguma. 8 Olusiku lwakulikiraga, rhwarhenga ahoola, rhwahika omu gishagala ch'eKayizariya. Eyo munda rhwaja kubeera omu nju ya Firipo.

Baliiri baleebi-kazi. 10 Rhwabeere rhwamala aha mwage siku zinene, omuleebi muguma oyirikwa Hagabo ahika gurhengera omu gihugo ch'eYudeeya. 11 Ayinja emunda rhwaliiri, arhoola omukaba gwa Paawulo n'oguchishweka nago amagulu n'amaboko. N'okuva aderha ntya: «Muuka-Mutagatiifu aderhere ntya: ‹aBayaahudi b'eYerusaleema nji bashweka ntya nyina ogu mukaba n'okumuhaana omu maboko m'abarhali Bayaahudi.›» 12 Enyuma z'okuyunva ebyo binwa, rhwabo haguma n'abemeezi b'eKayizariya, rhwayinginga Paawulo oku arhazamuukiraga eYerusaleema. 13 Paawulo ava shubiza ntya: «Chagarhuma mwalira n'ogushonda kuncha omurhima?

17 Rhwabeere rhwahika eYerusaleema, abemeezi barhuyankirira n'obushagaluke bunene. 18 Olusiku lwakulikiraga, rhwagenda haguma na Paawulo emwa Yakobo. Abashamuka b'echigusho ch'abemeezi nabo balichigushire booshi ahoola. 19 Paawulo abalamusa, anarhondera kubala oku bule ebi Nnamahanga ajirire kulengera akaasi kaage ahagarhi k'abarhali Bayaahudi.

20 Babeere baamala kumuyunviiriza, bakuuza Nnamahanga. Babwiira Paawulo ntya: «Mwene weerhu, obwene ebihumbi bingana by'aBayaahudi bayemereere Yeesu, na booshi, bagwerhe obushiru oku Rhegeko lya Muusa. 21 Aliko leero, babwirirwe okw'oli wayigiriza aBayaahudi booshi balamire ahagarhi k'abarhali Bayaahudi kuleka eRhegeko lya Muusa. Bayunviirhe okw'oli wababwira mpu barhagikembuulaga abaana baabo, barhanagikulikiraga emicho y'aBayaahudi. 22 Gurhe rhujaage rhwajira? Kwenge barhabula kumenya oku wahikire. 23 Ojire oku rhwakubwira. Rhugwerhe balume bane bajirire echilagaane emwa Nnamahanga. 24 Genda n'aba bantu, omu micho y'oguchicheesa, onahaane byooshi bahemwa yi bagembwa enviiri. aBantu booshi baaja bamenya okw'ebinwa bayunvaga bali bakuderha ko biri by'obubeeshi. Banamenya oku wooyo onakenga eRhegeko lya Muusa omu kalamo kaawe. 25 Abarhali Bayaahudi bahindukire bemeezi, boowe rhwabayandikiire miira ebi rhubarhegekere bachilange ko. Rhwabarhegekere oku barhalyaaga enyama barhuuliraga emaana n'omulegano changwa enyama zakanulwaga, banachilange n'obuhushi.»

26 Olusiku lwakulikiraga, Paawulo agenda nabo balume bane, banagicheesa haguma naye. Ava aja omu Nju ya Nnamahanga n'okubala mango machi esiku zaabo z'ogugicheesa zahwa n'entuulo yahanwa oku ngasi muguma waabo.

27 Siku mushanvu z'okugicheesa zabeere ziri hoofu guhwa, aBayaahudi baguma barhengaga omu gihugo ch'eAziya babona Paawulo omu Nju ya Nnamahanga. Bararusa olubaga looshi, banamufarha. 28 Baalema babanda akalulu n'okuderha ntya: «Mwe balume b'eIsraheeli, muyinje murhugwase! Y'onoola, ola muntu oyigiriza abantu booshi na ngasi hooshi okuboneerera olubaga lwerhu, eRhegeko lya Muusa n'eyi Nju ya Nnamahanga! N'ahanene, ahirire abarhali Bayaahudi omu Nju ya Nnamahanga, amanazingiisa aha hantu hatagatiifu!» 29 Baderhaga ntyo, kwenge babaaga babwene omu gishagala Paawulo haguma na Torofimo muburhwa w'eEfeeso. Bali bakengereere oku Paawulo ali muheekere omu Nju ya Nnamahanga. 30 Akaluulu kayunjula omu gishagala chooshi, n'abantu bayinja balibirha gurhengera ngasi lunda. Baafarha Paawulo, bamukululira embuga w'eNju ya Nnamahanga, n'okuva bachinga emilyango.

31 Babeere bali bashonda kumuyirha, omukulu w'engabo y'abasoda b'ekirooma ayunva omwazi okw'akalulu kayandeere hooshi omu Yerusaleema. 32 Ho n'aho arhoola abasoda n'abakulu baabo, n'oguchima alibirhira yo. Babeere bamubona n'abasoda baage, baaleka gushuurha Paawulo. 33 Oyu mukulu w'engabo y'abasoda ava ashegera hoofu na Paawulo, amufarha, anarhegeka oku bamushweke na malegule mabiri. Enyuma abaza akaba ali nde na gichi ajirire. 34 Aliko omu chigusho, baguma baliiri bayaama ntya n'abandi ntya. Abeere afundwa kumenya echaleerhere akalulu, arhegeka baheeke Paawulo omu kampi k'abasoda. 35 Paawulo abeere ali ashonda kuja omu nju y'abasoda, abasoda bamubarhula bulaala olubaga lwaliiri lukalihire bweneene. 36 Abantu booshi baliiri bamukulikiire eyi bali bayaama ntya: «Ayirhwe!»

37 Abasoda babeere bashonda guhira Paawulo omu kampi kaabo, abaza omukulu waabo ntya: «K'onyemereere nkubwire echinwa chiguma?» Naye amushubiza ntya: «K'oyinji kuderha eKigiriki? 38 K'arhali wooyo w'olaala Mumiisiri nji wazindaga gurarusa abantu n'oguheeka omu mpinga echigusho ch'ebishumuusi bihumbi bine bigwerhe emitwaro?» 39 Paawulo ashubiza ntya: «Nyoono, ndi Muyaahudi, muburhwa w'omu gishagala ch'eTariso omu gihugo ch'eKilikiya. Echo gishagala chiyinjikeene bwinjabwinja. Nguhemere waliha, onyemeerere gushambaala n'olubaga.» 40 Oyo mukulu w'engabo y'abasoda ava amuyemeerera. Paawulo ayimanga ahalengereere, asimira abantu n'okuboko mpu basire. Babeere bamaasira, ababwira omu lulimi lw'eGiheburaniya ntya:
