¹ Aho Ikoniyo na ho ni ko byagenze. Pawulo na Barinaba binjiye mu isengero ry’Abayahudi, baravuga ku buryo Abayahudi n’Abagereki benshi bemeye.

² Ariko bamwe mu Bayahudi bari banze kwemera, batera imidugararo mu banyamahanga, baboshya kugirira nabi abavandimwe.

³ Pawulo na Barinaba bahamara igihe kirekire, bakigisha bashize amanga kuko bari biringiye Nyagasani wahamyaga ukuri kw’amagambo yabo, abaha gukora ibimenyetso n’ibitangaza bikomeye.

⁴ Abatuye uwo mugi rero bicamo ibice: bamwe bajya ku ruhande rw’Abayahudi, abandi ku rw’Intumwa.

⁵ Nuko abanyamahanga n’Abayahudi bajya inama n’abatware babo ngo bagirire nabi Intumwa, bazitere amabuye.

⁶ Pawulo na Barinaba babimenye, bashaka ubuhungiro mu migi ya Lisitiri na Deribe yo muri Likawoniya, no mu turere tuyikikije.

⁷ Na ho bakomeza kwamamaza Inkuru Nziza.

Pawulo akiza ikirema cy’i Lisitiri

⁸ Nuko i Lisitiri hakaba umuntu waremaye ibirenge, kuko yari yaravukanye ubumuga, atigeze atambuka.

⁹ Umunsi umwe, yari ateze amatwi Pawulo yigisha, Pawulo na we amwitegereje, abona ko afite ukwemera guhagije kugira ngo akire,

¹⁰ amubwira mu ijwi riranguruye ati «Haguruka, uhagarare wemye!» Umuntu arabaduka, aragenda.

¹¹ Rubanda rero ngo babone ibyo Pawulo amaze gukora, batera hejuru bavuga mu rurimi rwabo kavukire rwo muri Likawoniya, bati «Imana zisa n’abantu zaje muri twe!»

¹² Nuko Barinaba bamwita «Zewusi», naho Pawulo bamwita «Herimesi», kuko ari we wakundaga gufata ijambo.

¹³ Nuko umuherezabitambo w’ikigirwamana Zewusi, (ingoro yacyo ikaba yari ku irembo ry’umugi), azana ibimasa bitatse indabyo abishyira imbere y’irembo, kuko yashakaga we na rubanda, gutura igitambo.

¹⁴ Ariko Pawulo na Barinaba, ngo bumve iyo nkuru, bashishimura imyambaro yabo maze biroha muri rubanda batera hejuru, bati

¹⁵ «Ibyo mukora ni ibiki? Natwe turi abantu nkamwe. Inkuru Nziza tubamenyesha, irabasaba ko mwigizayo ayo manjwe, ngo mugarukire Imana Nzima yaremye ijuru n’isi, inyanja n’ibiyirimo byose.

¹⁶ Mu bihe byo hambere, yaretse amahanga yose akora ibyo yishakiye;

¹⁷ nyamara ntiyaretse gutanga ibimenyetso bihamya ubugiraneza bwayo: ibaha imvura n’ibihe by’uburumbuke, ikabahaza ibibatunga, n’imitima yanyu ikayuzuza ibyishimo.»

¹⁸ Ayo magambo yabo atuma rubanda batuza ariko bigoranye, bityo bareka kubatura igitambo.

¹⁹ Nuko haza kwaduka Abayahudi baturutse Antiyokiya n’Ikoniyo, bigarurira rubanda. Batera Pawulo amabuye, hanyuma bamukururira hirya y’umugi bibwira ko yapfuye.

²⁰ Ariko igihe abigishwa bari bamukikije, arahaguruka asubira mu mugi. Bukeye ajyana na Barinaba i Deribe.

Pawulo na Barinaba bagaruka Antiyokiya

²¹ Ngo bamare kwamamaza Inkuru Nziza muri uwo mugi no kuhabona abigishwa benshi, bahera ko basubira i Lisitiri, Ikoniyo n’i Antiyokiya.

²² Bakomezaga umutima w’abigishwa, bakabatera umwete ngo bakomere mu kwemera, bababwira bati «Ni ngombwa ko tunyura mu magorwa menshi, kugira ngo tubone kwinjira mu Ngoma y’Imana.»

²³ Nuko bashyiraho abakuru muri buri Kiliziya, bamaze gusenga no gusiba kurya, babaragiza Nyagasani bari baremeye.

²⁴ Hanyuma bambukiranya akarere ka Pisidiya, bagera muri Pamfiliya.

²⁵ Bamaze kwamamaza ijambo ry’Imana i Perige, bamanuka berekeza Ataliya.

²⁶ Bahavuye, bajya mu bwato berekeza Antiyokiya, ari na wo mugi bari baraturutsemo, ubwo abavandimwe babo babaragizaga Imana, babasabira kuzatunganya uwo murimo nyine bari bamaze kurangiza.

²⁷ Bagezeyo, bakoranya Kiliziya, babatekerereza ibyo Imana yari yakoranye na bo byose, ariko cyane cyane ko yugururiye abanyamahanga irembo ry’ukwemera.

²⁸ Nuko bamarana iminsi n’abigishwa.
