1 Naagiripa nkayeerelha Napaolo, “Nhovahiya nipesha mwiivaraangeke etu.” Napaolo yahookolha moono aya nkayevaraanga cho,

2 “Amwene Naagiripa! Kihoreeriya lhelho wiivaraanga uwaninyu mwaha wo milhatu chonkhaye chihimiachiye ni Ayahudi chikaachaka, 3 ukhalhawaya inyuva mwaanene nri o chuwelha malhemalhelho a Ayahudi ni uhiiwelhelha waya. Paahi etu, kinoulhepelhani wiira nkivilhelheke vaneevaraanga aka.

4 “Ayahudi onkhaye ahochuwelha makhalhelho aka toka unamwane aka. Ahochuwelha meetelho aka o khalhayi wiilhaponi waka ni Uyerusalemu uwo. 5 Ahokichuwelha venchi, yathananaka anowooria uhimiechesha wiira, toka khalhayi kaari mmoka ya attu o uttwara chinene Malhehero a ashinna Musa. Kaari mmoka a Amafarisayo. 6 Ni vaa vano, kirii uhukumulhiyani wo nlhatu no ukhulhuvelha malhehano a Nlhuku alheehilhe awe manyaapwiiya ihu. 7 Yayo malhehano ayo phi alhe anokhulhuvelhiya ni makosho khumi ni melhi o velhaponi wihu, vanonlhapelha aya Nlhuku wo nrima uthana ni uhiyu. Amwene, yoyo phi nlhatu etu, uwiihiye uwaninyu ni Ayahudi! 8 Nlhatuni etu mwaatti no woochelha upisha nrima ni uchuwelha wiira Nlhuku nowaahihimusha attu akhwilhe?

9 “Miyaano kimwanene kahoona wiira kaari kirataka chinene ukhota nchina na Yesu o Unazareti. 10 Yoyo phi ulhe mwaha waapanga aka Uyerusalemu. Mii kimwanene kahovahiya ikuru yaakhumme wa opochera ishaani olhupalhe, nkakaattuka ujeerani atakatifu enchi a Nlhuku. Vaahukumulhiye aya wiiviya mii kahoopa ikhura yo urumelhelha. 11 Kahaatwarusha attu venchi mmanupani mwo unlhapelha Nlhuku mwonkhaye, wo waakhanyereriha unruwana Nlhuku. Urushiya waka waari wo upwaha, mpaka nkakaarwaa iwani cho utayi ni waatwarushacha.

12 “Wo yoyo nlhatu uyo etu kahorwaa Udameski kinari ni ikuru ni malhehero aakhumme wa opochera ishaani olhupalhe. 13 Amwene, vaari aka mphironi ikatema yo uthana, kahoona wiirimu nchakarimia no utheka miitho chinene upwaha nchuwa, nkawaanimwalheelha mii ni attu yaattukanne aka. 14 Hiyaano onkhaye nahowulhuwa vathi, ni mii nkakeewa nlhove nikiirelhaka wo Iebraniya, ‘Nasauli, Nasauli! Woonaka nnookitwarusha? Woonaka nnowiiweria mwaanene thoko mwannama nokhita ikopo ya apwiiya awe.’

15 “Nkakaakoha, ‘Thithi, inyuva phi apani?’ Ni Athithi ayo nkayaakaakhulha, ‘Miyaano phi Yesu nnontwarusha inyu. 16 Nansho vano munkweke, mweemelheke. Kihoukhumelhelhani wiira kuweesheni ukhalha namitheko aka. Nnowa uhimiechesha wa attu mwaha woonilhe inyu lhelho ni alhe anohalha aka uwoonihani miholho. 17 Kinowoopolhani wa attu o Uisraeli ni wa attu ahiri Ayahudi unoorumaakani, 18 wiira mwaapatakulhe irusho chaya, akhume mwiipiphini akelhe unthukoni, akhume u ikuru yo Nakare anrukunuwelhe Nlhuku. Arumelhelhaka apatte ibarakha yo uhiyereriya uwonya waya ni ukusha nipuro naya munlhokoni mwa attu a Nlhuku ahapihiye wo iphiro yo upisha nrima.’

19 “Wo chiichammo etu, Amwene Naagiripa, khakavaanyinhe chittu choonihiye aka wiirimu chiyo. 20 Nkakaahimiacha Nlhove na Nlhuku kichokholhaka Udameski, khuwaaka Uyerusalemu ni ilhapo yonkhaye yo Uyudea ni chiicho wo attu ahiri Ayahudi. Kahaakurumicha akhorome, ahiye uwonya anrukunuwelhe Nlhuku oonihaka wo mitheko wiira ahorukunusha mirima chaya. 21 Wo yoyo nlhatu uyo etu, Ayahudi nkayaakivara kinari Inupa ya Nlhuku, nkayaalhikacha ukiiva. 22 Nansho mahuku onkhaye alha Nlhuku nookinanelha, ni wo chiicho etu mpaka lhelho nna kiheemelha rata kiihimiecheshaka wa attu onkhaye, olhupalhe ni akani. Malhove kinohimiacha aka phi alhe yaahimiye ni anamilhohi a Nlhuku ni ashinna Musa wiira anoowa aakhumelhelha. 23 Kuristo Moopolhi noothananiya utwarushiya ni ukhalha o uchokholha uhihimmwa wa attu akhwilhe, ahimiache wiira nthuko wo noopo unowaamwalheelha vano attu onkhaye, Ayahudi ni attu ahiri Ayahudi.”

24 Napaolo evaraangeke mpaka vavawo, Nafesto nkayaakhuwelha, “Napaolo! Inyu nri ni ihalhahalha! Ushoma winyu chinene uhoohelhani ihalhahalha!”

25 Napaolo nkayaakhulha, “Khakirina ihalhahalha, Amwene Nafesto. Kinohimia aka phi ye ikeekhene. 26 Amwene Naagiripa! Kinohimiacha uwaninyu wo uhoova ukhalhawaya nhochuwelha chittu chonkhaye chi. Khakirina nipampa wiira unoochuwania uwaninyu ukhalhawaya khuwaapangeelhe wo nivitho. 27 Amwene Naagiripa, chani, nnowaarumelhelha anamilhohi a Nlhuku? Kihochuwelha wiira nnowaarumelhelha.”

28 Amwene Naagiripa nkayaakhulha Napaolo, “Nnaanyihera wo malhove inyu vakani nnowooria ukirukunusha mii ukhalha Nkuristo?”

29 Napaolo nkayaakhulha, “Kinonlhapelha Nlhuku wiira wo ikatema ikhuvi ama yo urekama, inyuva ni attu onkhaye anokiiwelhelha lhelho mpatte ukhalha thoko mii, nansho ihikhalhe wo mittondoro thoko cho.”

30 Vavawo amwene Naagiripa ni Nafesto o utawara ilhapo ni Nabenike ni akina onkhaye nkayeemelha nkayaathama. 31 Yathameke nkayolhumacha ashineneru, “Ulha ntu ulha khattenke vanophwanelha wiiviya ama uttukiya.” 32 Amwene Naagiripa nkayeerelha Nafesto, “Ulha ntu ulha aanooria uthaphulhiya hikaalhepenlhe urweehiya wa Nakaisari.”
