² Amaze kwambukiranya iyo ntara yose, kandi ari na ko agenda abwira abavandimwe amagambo arambuye yo kubakomeza, aza kugera mu Bugereki,

³ ahamara amezi atatu. Nyamara ashaka gufata ubwato ngo ajye muri Siriya, amenya ko Abayahudi bamugambaniye; ni bwo yiyemeje kongera kunyura muri Masedoniya.

Pawulo asezera ku bavandimwe b’i Torowadi

⁷ Ku wa mbere w’icyumweru, ubwo twari duteraniye hamwe ngo tumanyure umugati, Pawulo wari uraye ari bugende aganira n’abavandimwe kugeza mu gicuku.

⁸ Mu cyumba cyo mu nzu yo hejuru aho twari duteraniye, hakaga amatara menshi.

⁹ Nuko umusore witwa Ewutiko akaba yicaye mu idirishya igihe Pawulo yigishaga. Inyigisho irambiranye, aza gutwarwa n’ibitotsi byinshi; ni ko guhanuka mu igorofa ya gatatu, yitura hasi, bahaterura uwapfuye.

¹⁰ Nuko Pawulo amanuka bwangu, amwubarara hejuru maze aramuhobera, avuga ati «Mwikuka umutima, ni mutaraga!»

¹¹ Aho azamukiye, Pawulo afata umugati, arawumanyura; hanyuma akomeza ikiganiro kugeza mu gitondo, abona kugenda.

¹³ Twe rero tujya mu bwato tugenda mbere twerekeje ahitwa Aso, aho twagombaga kwakirira Pawulo, kuko we yari yagennye kujyayo anyuze inzira y’ubutaka.

¹⁴ Nuko adusanga Aso tumushyira mu bwato, turambuka tujya i Mitilena.

¹⁵ Bukeye, tujya mu bwato tugera ahateganye n’ikirwa cyitwa Kiyo. Ku wundi munsi twambuka tugana i Samosi, ku munsi ukurikiyeho tugera i Mileto.

¹⁹ Nakoreye Nyagasani, niyoroheje ku buryo bwose, mu marira no mu magorwa naterwaga n’ubugambanyi bw’Abayahudi.

²⁰ Nta cyo nabakinze mu byo nashoboraga kubabwira cyabagirira akamaro; byose narabitangaje, mbibigishiriza mu ruhame kimwe no mu ngo.

²¹ Nashishikarizaga Abayahudi kimwe n’Abagereki kugarukira Imana no kwemera Umwami wacu Yezu.

²² None dore ngiye i Yeruzalemu mbibwirijwe na Roho Mutagatifu; ibizambaho ngezeyo simbizi.

²³ Icyakora, muri buri mugi, Roho Mutagatifu anyemeza ko ingoyi n’amakuba bihantegerereje.

²⁴ Nyamara ku bwanjye, ndahamya ko amagara yanjye bwite nta cyo amariye; icya ngombwa ni ukurangiza isiganwa ryanjye n’umurimo Nyagasani Yezu yanshinze wo guhamya Inkuru Nziza y’ineza Imana ibagirira.

²⁵ Nzi neza ko kuva ubu mutazongera kumbona ukundi, mwebwe mwese abo nanyuzemo namamaza Ingoma y’Imana.

²⁶ Ni cyo gitumye rero, uyu munsi nshobora kwemeza mu maso yanyu ko ndi umwere w’amaraso yanyu mwese,

²⁷ kuko nabamenyesheje umugambi wose w’Imana, nta cyo mbakinze.

²⁸ Murimenye rero ubwanyu, mumenye n’ubushyo mwaragijwe na Roho Mutagatifu, mube abashumba ba Kiliziya y’Imana, Yezu yacunguje amaraso ye bwite.

²⁹ Nzi neza ko nimara kugenda, muzinjirwamo n’ibirura by’ibihubuzi bitazababarira n’ubushyo.

³⁰ Ndetse no muri mwe hazaduka abantu bavuga amagambo y’ibinyoma, azatuma bigarurira abigishwa.

³¹ Murabe maso rero, mwibuka ko mu myaka itatu yose, ijoro n’amanywa ndetse no mu marira, ntatuje kuburira buri muntu muri mwe.

³² Ubu rero mbaragije Nyagasani kugira ngo abababarire, maze abakomereshe ijambo rye, kandi ku bwa ryo abahe umurage hamwe n’abatagatifujwe bose.

³³ Nta kintu cy’umuntu uwo ari we wese nararikiye, cyaba feza, cyaba zahabu, cyangwa umwambaro.

³⁴ Namwe ubwanyu murabizi: ibi biganza byanjye mureba ni byo nkesha ibyo nabaga nkeneye byose, kimwe na bagenzi banjye.

³⁵ Naberetse buri munsi ko ari ngombwa kuvunika dutyo, kugira ngo tugoboke abatishoboye, twibuka n’amagambo Nyagasani Yezu yivugiye ubwe ati ’Utanga arahirwa kuruta uhabwa.’»

³⁶ Pawulo amaze kuvuga ibyo, arapfukama hamwe n’abo bari kumwe bose, maze arasenga.

³⁷ Nuko bose baraturika bararira, bamugwa mu ijosi, baramuhobera.

³⁸ Bari bababajwe cyane n’uko yari amaze kuvuga ko batazongera kumubona ukundi. Nuko baramuherekeza bamugeza ku bwato.
