1 Namalheke ulheehana ni attu ayo, nahowelha mmeelini nkanaarwaa Ukosi. Waashelhe waya nkanaaphiya Urode, nathameke wowo nkanaarwaa Upatara. 2 Wowo nahophwanya imeli yaarwaa Ufoinike, nkanaawelha nkanaarwaa. 3 Nahophiya vakittu voonrie ihu woona iwani yo Ukipro, nkanaavira mpatta waya wo uchawa nkanaalhukama Usiriya. Nkanaaphiya iwani yo Utiro, imeli ilhe waakurusha aya misigo chaya. 4 Wowo nahoona owiittucha yanrumelhenlhe Kuristo, nkanaakhalhana ijuma imoka. Attu anrumelhenlhe Kuristo ayo nkayoolhumacha wo machiri a Iphumu ya Nlhuku nkayeerelha Napaolo wiira ahirwee Uyerusalemu. 5 Nansho mahuku ihu yamalheke nahothama nkanaarwaa. Akuristo onkhaye, manyaalhopwana vamoka ni manyaahanu aya ni achishaana aya yahonivelhelha mpaka umbwaani. Nkanaakhoroma onkhaye nkananlhapelha Nlhuku. 6 Yamalheke nkanaalhehana kila mmoka, hiyaano nkanaawelha mmeelini ni ayo nkayaahokolhia umawannyaya.

7 Hiyaano nkanaathepa urwaa munkwahani wihu. Nathameke Utiro nkanaaphiya Utolemaisi waashikunrie ihu ashilhoko ihu Akuristo, nkanaakhalha wo nihuku nimoka. 8 Waashelhe waya nahothama nkanaarwaa Ukaisariya. Wowo nahorwaa unupani u Nafilipo yaahimiacha Nlhove na Nlhuku. Yayo yaari amoka aya saba yaathanlhiye ukhalha okaviha o nlhoko wa attu anrumelhenlhe Kuristo no Uyerusalemu alhe. 9 Yayo yahaana imialhi acheshe yaavaheriye ukhalha anamilhohi a Nlhuku. 10 Naholhokelha wowo wo mahuku menchi, vaawilhe awe namilhohi mmoka a Nlhuku aakhumme Uyudea neehaniya Naagabo. 11 Yoyo ahoniweelha, nkaakusha nchako u Napaolo, nkeettuka mmiononi ni mmietoni, nkeera, “Iphumu ya Nlhuku neera wiira, Mwanene ulha nchako ulha nokottukiya thoko cho ni Ayahudi o Uyerusalemu ni uhelhiya mmiononi mwa attu ahiri Ayahudi.”

12 Neeweke chiicho, hiyaano ni attu akina yaari vavawo alhe nahaalhepelha Napaolo wiira ahirwee Uyerusalemu. 13 Nansho Napaolo nkayaakhulha, “Nnonlhani vano, chani nnothanana ukuntha nrima aka? Kirii tayari kuhiwe uttukiyaru Uyerusalemu, nansho ata ukhwa wo nlhatu no nchina na Athithi Yesu.”

14 Noochelheke waachiichiha nkanaamalha, nkaneera, “Chiirieke etu thoko chinothanana aya Athithi.”

15 Yamalheke, nkanaattuka mirupa chihu cho munkwahani, nkanaarwaa nkwaha ihu wo ukelha Uyerusalemu. 16 Owiittucha akina o Ukaisariya alhe nahaattukana, nkayaanirweha uwani u Namnasoni waakelha ihu umakelha wo mahuku. Nanasoni aari nnenchi o Ukipro Akuristo o mahuku menchi.

17 Naphiyeke Uyerusalemu, ashilhoko ihu yanrumelhenlhe Kuristo yahonipochera rata chene. 18 Waashelhe waya Napaolo yahorwaa vamoka ni hii uwoonani Nayakhobo. Ashulhupalhe o nlhoko wa attu anrumelhenlhe Kuristo onkhaye ni ayo yahowa. 19 Napaolo yaashikurieke attu onkhaye, yahohimiacha chittu chonkhaye Nlhuku chaapannge awe mwa attu ahiri Ayahudi wo iphiro yo ntheko waya. 20 Attu ayo yeeweke yayo, yahonthimicha Nlhuku. Yamalheke nkayeerelha Napaolo, “Munna Napaolo, nnowoona vano wiira ahaawo maelufu menchi ya Ayahudi chinre aya wo urumelhelha, ni onkhaye ayo chineera aya wo wiinanelha Malhehero a ashinna Musa. 21 Ahohimeriya mwaha inyu wiira nnooweettuchiha Ayahudi anokhalha ilhapo cha attu ahiri Ayahudi, wiira ahilhohe Malhehero a ashinna Musa, aheenelhe achishaana aya unyawo ni uhiya uttwara malhemalhelho a Ayahudi 22 Vano inaakhalheke chani etu? Ukhalhawaya we ikekhiaye anowiiwa wiira nhowa vaa.

23 “Paahi etu, cho phi nothanana ihu wiira mpange. Nihanaa va attu acheshe attunke ishaani. 24 Mwaattukaneke attu uulhapelhani ni wiihapiha. Mwaalhivelheke nchurukhu unothananiya, yamalhaka ahamiyeke ikharari chaya. Yamalhaka etu, attu onkhaye anoochuwelha wiira mwaha uhimeriye aya ulhe uri wowoothachiya ni inyu mwaanene nri mpaka nna nvarecheshaka ni uttwara Malhehero a ashinna Musa. 25 Nansho wa attu yanrumelhenlhe Kuristo ahiri Ayahudi, nihaarweehelha iwarakha yo waachuwelhiha mwaha wiiwananne ihu, ahilhie isadaka iriyoothe ilhapelhelhiye mashoka mena ahiwurie iphome mena ahilhie inama yo mwannama chipulhiye ishiko ni mena ahiwehewehe mwaha wo ishembwere.”

26 Paahi etu, Napaolo nkayaakusha attu alhe nkayaalhapelha ni wiittukuria vamoka ni ayo thoko chaalhemalhelhiye aya. Yamalheke nkayaakelha Inupa ya Nlhuku uuhimiachani nihuku no umalhiha wiittukuria, vanohalha aya ukumihiya isadaka wo nlhatu wo kila mmoka aya.

27 Nansho yayo mahuku saba ayo vaatameria aya umalha, Ayahudi yaakhumme ilhapo yo Uasiya yahoona Napaolo Inupa ya Nlhuku. Paahi, nkayaahelha ichimwa mmamirimani mwo nlhoko wonkhaye wa attu, nkayaavara Napaolo. 28 Nkayaakhuwelhacha yiiraka, “Anenchi o Uisraeli, nnikavihe! Ulha phi ulhe ntu neettuchiha attu kila vakittu mwaha unovingana attu o Uisraeli, unovinga Malhehero a ashinna Musa ni Inupa ya Nlhuku. Ata vano nna haakelhiha Ayunani wi Inupa ya Nlhuku ni unyalhiha vatakatifu va” 29 Yoolhumacha chiicho wo waanyihera wiira Natrofimo, anenchi o Uefeso yaari vamoka ni Napaolo vawani, yahokelhihiya ni Napaolo Inupa ya Nlhuku.

30 Injarare nkayaawanelha iwani yonkhaye, attu nkayaawa uwo ni uwo, nkayaavara Napaolo, nkayaapurulha mpaka vachereshere Inupa ya Nlhuku ni vavawo milhako cho Inupa ya Nlhuku nkachaatteiya. 31 Attu vaari aya aatameriaka weeva Napaolo, nttenga wahorwaa ni waaphiyelha olhupalhe a manyaasikari o Urumi wiira injarare ihokelha Uyerusalemu wonkhaye. 32 Yeyo ikatema mulhupalhe a manyaasikari nkaakusha manyaasikari olhupalhe akina ni manyaasikari aya nkayaattimakelha unjarareni. Ni ayo vamonne aya ni manyaasikari awe, nkayaahiya waakukutta Napaolo. 33 Mulhupalhe o manyaasikari nkaarwelha Napaolo, nkaavara ni ulhehera wiira attukiye mittondoro miilhi. Yamalheke nkaakoha, “Phi mpani yolha ntu ulha, ana panngeni?”

34 Attu akina munlhokoni mmo yaari akhuwelhaka ilha, akina akhuwelhaka ilhe. Wo nlhatu no uhiiwananiya uwo, mulhupalhe o manyaasikari khoonrie uchuwelha ikekhiaye yo nlhatu. Paahi etu, ahaalhehera attu awe waarweha Napaolo waari ikambi yo manyaasikari. 35 Waphiiyeke vanivatoni, manyaasikari yahaathatha vachulhu Napaolo wo nlhatu no injarare chaapangiya ni attu. 36 Ukhalhawaya nlhoko mulhupalhe wa attu waahaattwara akhuwelhaka, “Eeviye, mwiive!!”

37 Vaari aya akelhihiyaka nningomeni, Napaolo yahaalhepelha olhupalhe o manyaasikari eraka, “Chani akinochiichihiya uhimeriani ittu?” Olhupalhe alhe nkaakhulha, “Ana ni inyu nnoochuwelha wulhumacha Iyunani! 38 Ana inyuva kanhiwe phi ulhe Mmisri machurichuri va aanitindanihilhe ni waaholhelha attu o uvara makhuche maelufu ncheshe mpaka uthakoni?”

39 Napaolo nkayaakhulha, “Miyaano ki Nyahudi, kiyareelhe Utaso ilhapo yo Ukilikiya, miyaano ki nnenchi o iwani yo uchuwania chinene. Kinoulhepelhani, chonte, nkihiye kuulhumache ni attu.”

40 Mulhupalhe o manyaasikari ulhe nkaahiya yuulhumache. Paahi, Napaolo nkayeemelha vamavatoni nkayaapungelha attu alhe moono, yamaalheke, nkayaachokholha woolhumana wo nulhumo ne Iebraniya.
