1 “Manyaalhopwana, ashilhoko aka va, nkiiwelhelheke vano vaneevaranga aka uholho winyu!” 2 Attu veewilhe aya Napaolo yuulhumachaka wo nulhumo no Iebraniya nkayaathepa umaalha. Ni ayo nkayaathepa wulhumacha eeraka,

3 “Miyaano ki Nyahudi, ntu yareelhe Utaso ilhapo yo Ukilikiya. Nansho kilhelhiye va Yerusalemu vava mmiononi mwa owiittuchiha Nagamalieli. Kaheettuchihiya rata uttwara wo nrima wonkhaye Malhehero a ashinna Musa. Kaheekumiha wo uminda chinene unrumelhelha Nlhuku thoko chiri inyu mwaattiva mwaashinene lhelho va. 4 Kahaatwarusha ata weeva attu yaatwara ilha iphiro ilha. Kahaavara manyaalhopwana ni manyaathiyana ni waattuka ujeerani. 5 Opochera ishaani Olhupalhe ni ipuwa yonkhaye ya ashulhupalhe anowooria uhimiechesha yoyo mwaha uyo. Uwannyaya kahopochera iwarakha yaalhepiye urweehiya wa ashilhoko ihu Ayahudi yaari Udameski. Kahorwaa wiira kaavare yayo attu ayo ni waawiiha anattukiye mpaka Uyerusalemu wiira atwarushiye.”

“ ‘Mweemelheke, nrweeke Udameski ni wowo nnokoohimeriya chonkhaye chinothanana aka mpange.’ 11 Wo nlhatu no nthimicho mulhupalhe ulhe khakoona. Paahi etu akhunanaka alhe nkayaakiholhelha wo ukivara moono mpaka Udameski.”

12 “Wowo ahokhalha ntu mmoka anthimicha Nlhuku eehaniya Ananiya, ntu owiinanelha Malhehero a ashinna Musa aahimiecheshiya chinene munlhokoni mwa Ayahudi yaakhalha Udameski. 13 Yayo yahowa uukoonani, nkayeemelha wo ukaatama, nkayeera, ‘Munna Nasauli, mwoone tho!’ Yeyo ikatema nkakoona tho, nkakaaweha.”

14 “Ananiya nkayeera, ‘Nlhuku a manyaapwiiya ihu hothanlhani wiira nchuwelhe chinothanana awe ni umoona Uyo e ikekhiaye uyo ni umwiiwa yoyo mwanene arerihaka. 15 Ukhalhawaya nnowa mwanhimiechesha wa attu onkhaye mwaahimeriaka chilhe choonilhe inyu ni wiiwa. 16 Vano etu, nnocherewani? Mweemelheke mwabatiiziyeke ni uhiyereriya uwonya winyu wo ulhapelha nchina nawe.’ ”

17 “Paahi kahohokolhia Uyerusalemu ni wowo vaari aka kilhapelhaka Inupa ya Nlhuku, kahoonihiya ntora. 18 Kahoona Athithi Yesu akiirelhaka, ‘Mwaakuvieke! Nthame Uyerusalemu wo waakuviaa ukhalhawaya attu o va khanorumelhelha uhimiechesha winyu unokaacha mii.’ ”

19 Nkaakhulha, “ ‘Thithi!’ Ayo ahochuwelha wiira miyaano phi yolhe aaviravira inupa cho unlhapelha Nlhuku nkakaavara ni waatakacha attu yo urumelhelhani alhe. 20 Ata ikatema akarumiya inyu Nastefano o uhimiechesha Kuristo veeviye aya, miyaano kimwanene kaari vavawo, nkakaarumelhelha yoyo mwaha uyo ni ulhitelhelha miinjiro cha attu yeeva alhe. 21 Athithi nkayaakiirelha, ‘Nrweeke, kinourumani utayi wa attu ahiri Ayahudi.’ ”

22 Attu yaari yeewelhelhaka Napaolo mpaka vavawo, nansho yoolhumacheke yayo, nkayaakhuwelha, “Mwaathamihe velhaponi! Eeviye! Ntu thoko ulha khaphwanelhiye ukhalha!” 23 Nkayaathepa ukhuwelha akuphulhachaka miinjiro chaya amwarushaka ntukurukhu wiirimu wo urushiya chinene. 24 Mulhupalhe a manyaasikari Nrumi aheerelha manyaasikari awe yaarweehe Napaolo nningomeni. Nkaalhehera Napaolo yaatiye mikwaju wiira achuwelhe nlhatu no unyakulha wa Ayahudi. 25 Nansho Napaolo yaattukiyeke wiira yaatiye mikwaju, yahonkoha mulhupalhe a manyaasikari mmoka emenlhe vavawo, “Chani, ihorera mwaatti umwaata mikwaju nnenchi o Urumi hinaaya uhukumulhiya?”

26 Olhita ulhe eeweke yayo nkanhimeria olhita mulhupalhe eeraka, “Nnothanana upanga ittu yaani? Ulha ntu ulha nnenchi o Urumi!”

27 Paahi etu, mulhupalhe o manyaasikari olhita nkaarwelha Napaolo, nkaakoha eeraka, “Nkakihimerieni, chani, inyuva mwa anenchi o Urumi?”

Napaolo nkayaakhulha, “Eiyo.”

28 Mulhupalhe o manyaasikari olhita ulhe nkeera, “Mii kihokhalha nnenchi o Urumi wo ulhiva nchurukhu mwinchi.”

Napaolo nkayeera, “Nansho miyaano nnenchi o Urumi wo uyaria.”

29 Attu yeechenshe rata waakohakoha Napaolo alhe yahothama. Ata olhita mulhupalhe ulhe ahoova wo uchuwelha wiira Napaolo yaari anenchi o Urumi ni wiira yaari mpaani anattukiye.

30 Mulhupalhe o manyaasikari olhita ahothanana uchuwelha ikekhiaye yo milhatu chonkhaye chaareeiye aya Napaolo ni Ayahudi. Paahi waashelhe waya yahaattukulha Napaolo mittondoro, nkayaalhehera opochera ishaani olhupalhe ni Ipuwa yonkhaye akumaane. Yamalheke nkayaawiiha Napaolo, nkayeemesha wi Ipuwa yo milhatu.
