5 “Tsanikala mne isi ya Yopa nolomba, baho mbona ghamaono, mbona ichinu ka gholole kulu lyohulumsighwa hasi kulawa kulanga kwa membe tsake nne, kuya litsa bahala hanikalile. 6 Nilola mghati, mbona iwanyama wane ghamaghulu mane iwali muisi, iwanyama wa kubagho, iwotambala, ne iwapfideghe wa kulanga. 7 Kuya nihulika litsi lyonilongela, ‘Petiri, winuke uchinje uje.’ 8 Nyidika, ‘Bae, Imtwatsa! Kuduhu ichinu chochose chihile au ichighomighwe ichingile mumlomo mwangu.’ 9 Litsi lilonga keli kulawa kulanga, ‘Uleke kuchikema chiha ichinu chayadeghete Imulungu.’ 10 Imbuli ayo tsailawila mala ndatu, kuya ligholole liyutsighwa keli kulanga. 11 Baho iwanu wadatu iwatumighwe kuna nene kulawa Kaisariya wapfika mne ing'anda yaning'ali nikala. 12 Ghumuhe ghwe Imulungu kanongela ndeke kupfuka, ng'ende nawo. Iwandughu wano sita pfipfila waghenda na nene, twingila mng'anda mwa Korineli. 13 Katulongela pfamwonile malaika yemile mng'anda mwake iyamlongele, ‘Utume iwanu isi ya Yopa wamkeme Simoni iyokemighwa Petiri. 14 Katsomghalilani imbuli iitsokukombola ghweghwe ne iwanu wose iwali mng'anda mwako.’ 15 Hanyanduse ukulonga, Ghumuhe Mwenzeluka kawahulumkila ka pfayatuhulumkile twetwe aho mwanduso. 16 Baho ng'umbuka chayalongile Imtwatsa. ‘Yohane tsakabatitsa kwa ghamatsi, lekeni mwemwe mtsobatitsa kwa Ghumuhe Mwenzeluka.’ 17 Apfo ka Imulungu kaweng'a iwanu iwali si Wayahudi nzawadi iila iyatwing'ile twetwe yatumtoghola Imtwatsa Yesu Kiristu, lelo nene nani nimpinge Imulungu?”

18 Hawahulike apfo, wenyamala. Wamtunya Imulungu, walonga, “Lelo, Imulungu kaweng'a iwanu iwali si Wayahudi toba iighala ughima.”

19 Kwa maghayo ighalawile Stefani hayakomighwe, iwanu iwamtoghole Yesu tsawapwililika. Wangi waghenda mbaka Foinike, Kupulo na Antiyokiya wapeta imbuli ila kwa Wayahudi waliyeka. 20 Wangi iwalawile Kupulo na Kirene waghenda Antiyokiya, pfipfila wandusa kulonga ne iwanu iwali si Wayahudi bae, wawapetela imbuli inoghile ye Imtwatsa Yesu. 21 Ngupfu ye Imtwatsa tsaikala nawo, na iwanu wengi watoghola na kumuyila Imtwatsa.

22 Mbuli atso tsihulikighwa na iwanu iwamtoghole Yesu wa Yerusalemu, nawo wamtuma Balinaba aghende Antiyokiya. 23 Naye hapfikile na kuwona uluso we Imulungu kwe iwanu wala, kadeng'elela na kawalomba waghendelele kumtoghola Imtwatsa kwa mimoyo yawo yose. 24 Balinaba tsakakala imunu yanoghile na yamemile Ghumuhe Mwenzeluka na iyotoghola ghendo, na iwanu wengi tsawongetseka kwe Imtwatsa.

25 Kuya Balinaba kaghenda Taso kumbama Sauli. 26 Hamwonile, kamghala Antiyokiya. Nawo wose weli kwa ghumwaka mghima tsawetingana na iwanu iwamtoghole Yesu na kuwalangulitsa iwanu wengi. Iwanang'ina tsawandusa ukukemighwa Wakiristu ako Antiyokiya.

27 Ghamatsuwa ghaghala manabii wangi we Imulungu iwalawile Yerusalemu wapfika Antiyokiya. 28 Yumwe wao iyakemighwe Agabo kema, na kwa uwetso wa Ghumuhe Mwenzeluka kalonga ka itsolawila inzala ng'ulu muisi mwose. Na inzala ayo ilawila mne ghamatsuwa gha mndewa Kilaudi. 29 Wakiristu wala walamula chila imunu ka pfayodaha aghale chochose ili kuwapfila iwanu iwamtoghole Yesu iwokala Yudeya. 30 Tsawatenda apfo, wawatuma Balinaba na Sauli wawaghalile iwabala we iwanu iwomtoghola Kiristu.
