1 Ku Kaishalia bhashinkupagwa bhandu bhamo bhashemwaga a Koloneli, bhakulungwa bha manjola bha shikundi shimo shashemwaga, “Shikundi sha Shiitalia.” 2 Pubhaaliji bhandu bhanguja, bhenebho na likaja lyabho bhatendaga kwaajogopanga a Nnungu, bhatendaga kwaajangutilanga bhalaga bha Shiyaudi na bhatendaga juga Nnungu mobha gowe. 3 Lyubha limo malanga ga ligulo bhashinkummona malaika nng'agamii alikwajiila nikwaalugulila, “A Koloneli!”

4 A Koloneli gubhankolondolesheye meyo akuno bhalijogopa, gubhammalanjile, “Shipali nndi Mmakulungwa?” Malaika jwa a Nnungu jula akwaabhalanjilaga, “A Nnungu bhapilikene kujuga kwenu na mbepei yenu kubhalaga wala bhakailibhala. 5 Bhai nnaino, mwaatumanje bhandu ku Yapa bhakaashemanje bhandu bhamo bhaashemwa a Shimoni, kwa lina lina, a Petili. 6 Bhenebho mubhali nnyumba ja a Shimoni bhabhamba mapende, nyumba jabho pujili tome na bhaali.” 7 Malaika jwa a Nnungu abhelekete nabho akajabhuleje, a Koloneli gubhaashemilenje bhatumishi bhabhili bha nnyumba jabho naka linjola jumo aaliji mundu jwa kwaajogopa a Nnungu, 8 gubhaalugulilenje gowe gakoposhele, gubhaatumilenje ku Yapa.

9 Malabhi gakwe, bhandunji bhatatu bhala bhalinginji mmwanja, tome naika ku Yapa, a Petili gubhakwelile kunani kushipagala sha nyumba mui kujuga Nnungu. 10 Gushaapoteshe shibhanga, nilokolila kulya. Akuno shalya shilitelekwa gubhaondweshe niagamila. 11 Gubhabhakubhweni kunnungu kuugwishe na shindu mbuti nkwamba gwa nkulungwa ulituluywa ukamwilwe mmapepe gakwe ganansheshe. 12 Munkwambamo bhashinkupagwanga bhannyama bha mikumbi jowe, bhannyama bha makongono nsheshe na bhannyama bhaatambalanga pai na ijuni ya kunani. 13 Gubhapilikene lilobhe lilikwalugulila, “A Petili nnjinushe nng'inje, ntaune!”

14 A Petili gubhajangwile, “Ntape, Mmakulungwa, nne nganabhe paya shindu shoshowe sha nyata eu shangali sha mmbone.”

15 Lilobhe lila likupilikanikaga kabhili lilikwaabhalanjila, “Nnaisheme ya nyata indu ibhaikonjeleye a Nnungu!” 16 Gene malobhego gakubhujilaga patatu, kungai nkwamba gula guukweshiywe kubhuja kunani kunnungu.

17 A Petili bhalikanganigwa ga malombolelo ga yene agamii ibhaibhwene ila, bhandunji bhatumilwenje na a Koloneli bhala, bhakajibhonanjeje nyumba ja a Shimoni, gubhapite jimangana pa nnango, 18 gubhabhushiyenje kwa utiya, “Bhuli, mwenemo bhapali bhajeni bhaashemwa a Shimoni Petili?”

19 A Petili bhalinkuganishiya ga agamii ila, Mbumu akwaalugulilaga, “Mpilikane! Bhashipagwanga bhandunji bhatatu bhanakunnoleyanga. 20 Shangu ntulushe na wala nnakole nnjishi kulongana nabhonji pabha naatumilenje nne.” 21 Bhai a Petili gubhaatulushilenje bhandunji bhala gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Junkunnoleyangajo ni nne. Nng'ikenje kutenda nndi?”

22 Gubhaajangwilenje, “Bhakulungwa bha manjola a Koloneli, bhandu bha ukonjelo, bhakwaajogopa a Nnungu na bhaakulupalika na bhayaudi bhowe bhashikutulajila. Bhashibhalanjilwa naka malaika kuti bhansheme nnjende kunngwabho bhapilikane malobhe gushimwaabhalanjile.” 23 A Petili bhakwaashemelangaga nnyumba, nibha ujeni gwabho shene shilosho. Malabhi gakwe, a Petili na bhandunji bhala gubhatandwibhenje mwanja na bhandunji bhana bha ku Yapa gubhalongene nabhonji.

24 Lyubha lya bhili lyakwe gubhaikengenenje ku Kaishalia na kweneko a Koloneli bhali na ashaalongo ajabhonji na ashaambwiga ajabho bhubhaashemilenje bhatendaga kwaalindililanga. 25 A Petili pubhajinjilaga nnyumba, a Koloneli gubhapite kwaposhela, nigubhaatindibhalile mpaka pai. 26 Ikabheje a Petili gubhaajinwile, bhalikwalugulila, “Nnjime, pabha nne namundu nnjenu.” 27 A Petili gubhapundile bheleketa na a Koloneli, bhakajinjileje nnyumba gubhaimenenje bhandunji bhabhagwinji.

28 A Petili gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Mmanganya mmumanyinji kuti Nnyaudi jojowe jula ashilimbiywa na malajilo ga dini jakwe kukundikana eu kwaowelanga bhandunji bha ilambo ina. Ikabheje a Nnungu bhashineya ngunansheme jwa nyata. 29 Kwa lyene ligongolyo nkanjemanjeje nangabhika nnjishi kwiya. Bhai, ngunakummuyanga, shinjemelenje nndi?”

30 A Koloneli gubhashite, “Mobha gatatu gapitilego gene malanga pegano, shaa tisha ja ligulo, natendagajuga Nnungu kukati jangu. Shangupe, gunimmweni mundu anyimile mmujo jangu awete nngubho yamelemeta, 31 gwashite, ‘A Koloneli! Kujuga kwenu na mbepei inkwapanganga bhalaga iposhelwe kwa a Nnungu. 32 Muntume mundu ku Yapa akaasheme bhandu bhamo bhashemwa Shimoni, kwa lina lina, a Petili, mubhali nnyumba ja a Shimoni bhabhamba mapende tome na bhaali.’ 33 Shangupe nashinkutumila ntenga, na mwe nshitenda shambone kwiya. Nnaino putuli pano mmujo ja a Nnungu, tupilikanishiye shoshowe shibhantumile Bhakulungwa ntubhalanjilesho.”

34 Penepo a Petili gubhatandwibhe kubheleketa, “Nnaino nimumanyi kuti a Nnungu bhangali luagu. 35 Ikabhe mundu jojowe jwa kila shilambo akwaajogopa a Nnungu nitenda ya mmbone, bhanakumposhela. 36 Gweguno ni ntenga gubhapeleshe a Nnungu kubhandu bha ku Ishilaeli, bhalilunguya ngani ja mmbone ja ulele ja a Yeshu Kilishitu bhali Bhakulungwa bha bhowe. 37 Mmanganyanji nshimanyinji shikoposhele nshilambo sha Yudea, kutandubhila ku Galilaya ukapiteje ubhatisho gubhalungwiye a Yowana. 38 Kabhili mmumanyinji ga a Nnungu shibhashite kwaagula a Yeshu bha ku Nashaleti kwa kwaapa Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo na mashili. Na a Yeshu bhatendaga kwenda mmbali yowe bhalitenda ya mmbone na lamya bhowe bhabhonelwangaga naka Lishetani, pabha a Nnungu pubhaaliji pamo na bhenebho.”

39 “Uwe ni tubhaakong'ondela bha gowe gubhatendile nshilambo sha Bhayaudi na ku Yelushalemu. Gubhaabhulegenje kwa kwaakomela munshalabha. 40 Ikabheje lyubha lya tatu a Nnungu gubhaayushiye na gubhailangwiye, 41 nngabha kubhandu bhowe, ikabhe kubhene bhaagwilwenje na a Nnungu bhabhanganje bhaakong'ondela bhabho, yani uwe twaalile na nng'wa nabho bhakayusheje kukopoka kubhawilenje. 42 Bhashikutulajila kulunguya Ngani ja Mmbone kubhandu bhowe na kukong'ondela kuti bhalabho ni bhaagwilwe na a Nnungu kubha bhaukumula bha bhakotonji na bhawilenje. 43 Ashinkulondola bhowe bha a Nnungu bhatashiyenje ga bhenebho kuti, kila mundu shabhakulupalile shaleshelelwe yambi yakwe yowe kwa lina lyabho.”

44 A Petili bhakanabhe pumula kubheleketa, Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo gwabhatulushilenje bhowe bhapilikanishiyangaga gene malobhego. 45 Bhaakulupalilanga bha Shiyaudi bhalongenenje na a Petili kukopoka ku Yapa gubhakanganigwenje, pabha a Nnungu bhashikwaagumbayanga upo ya Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo bhandunji bhangabha Bhayaudi. 46 Pabha bhashinkwaapilikananga bhalibheleketanga luga inape bhalikwaakuyanga a Nnungu. Penepo a Petili gubhashite, 47 “Abha bhandunjibha bhamposhelenje Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo malinga shitumposhele uwe. Bhuli, apali jojowe shakombole kwaibhililanga bhanabhatishwanje mmashi?” 48 Bhai, gubhaamulishe bhabhatishwanje kwa lina lya a Yeshu Kilishitu. Gubhaajujilenje a Petili bhatame nabhonji mobha gashoko.
