19 Patshivua Apolo+ mu Kolinto, malu aa enda enzeka, Paulo wakapitshila mu bitupa bia buloba bia munda mua ditunga, kupuekaye ku Efeso.+ Wakasanganaku bayidi bakuabu,
2 kubakonkaye ne: “Nuvua bapete nyuma muimpe* panuvua balue bena kuitabuja anyi?”+ Bakamuandamuna ne: “Katshia katuena banji kumvua ne: nyuma muimpe* udiku to.”
3 Ke yeye kuebeja ne: “Kadi bavua banubatize ne dibatiza kayi?” Bakamba ne: “Dibatiza dia Yone.”+
4 Paulo wakamba ne: “Yone uvua ubatiza ne dibatiza didi tshimanyinu tshia dinyingalala bua mpekatu,+ wambila bantu bua kuitabuja muntu uvua ulua panyima pende,+ mmumue ne: Yezu.”
5 Pakumvuabu nanku, bakabatijibua mu dîna dia Mukalenge Yezu.
6 Nunku pavua Paulo mubatentekele bianza, nyuma muimpe* wakabatulukila,+ bobu kutuadija kuakula mu miakulu mikuabu, bamanyisha mêyi a buprofete.+
7 Bantu balume bonso bavuaku bavua batue ku 12.
8 Paulo wakabuela mu nsunagoga,+ ne munkatshi mua ngondo isatu uvua wakula ne dikima, wenza miyuki ne weleshisha bantu meji bua kubitabijija bualu bua Bukalenge bua Nzambi.+
9 Kadi pavua bamue bantu bateke mutu mukole bua kuitabuja,* bakula bibi bua Njila+ kumpala kua musumba wa bantu, wakumbuka kudibu,+ kumbushaye bayidi munkatshi muabu, ne uvua wenza miyuki dituku dionso mu tshilongelu tshia Tulano.
10 Bualu ebu buakatungunuka munkatshi mua bidimu bibidi, kuenzabi bua bantu bonso bavua basombela mu provense wa Asia bumvue dîyi dia Mukalenge, bena Yuda pamue ne bena Greke.
11 Nunku Nzambi wakatungunuka ne kuenza midimu ya bukole ya kukema ku bianza bia Paulo,+
12 bienzeka ne: nansha pavuabu bangata bilamba ne tulamba tua mudimu bivua bilenge mubidi wende baya nabi kudi babedi,+ mabedi abu avua ajika ne nyuma mibi ipatuka.+
13 Kadi bamue bena Yuda bavua benza ngendu benda bipata bademon bakateta pabu bua kuipata nyuma mibi ivua munda mua bantu mu dîna dia Mukalenge Yezu; bavua bamba ne: “Ndi nkutumina dîyi ne bukole buonso mu dîna dia Yezu udi Paulo uyisha.”+
14 Mpindieu kuvua bana ba balume muanda mutekete ba mfumu wa bakuidi mukuabu muena Yuda, diende Sekua, bavua benza pabu nanku.
15 Kadi nyuma mubi wakabambila ne: “Ndi mumanye Yezu,+ ndi mumanye kabidi Paulo bimpe;+ kadi nuenu nudi banganyi?”
16 Ke muntu uvua ne nyuma mubi au kudielaye kudibu, kubapitaye bukole umue ku umue, kubatshimunaye, bobu kupatuka mu nzubu lubilu butaka, batapike mputa.
17 Bualu ebu buakamanyika kudi bantu bonso, bena Yuda ne bena Greke bavua basombele mu Efeso; buôwa buakabakuata bonso ne dîna dia Mukalenge Yezu diakatungunuka ne kutumbishibua.
18 Pashishe bantu ba bungi bavua balue bena kuitabuja bavua balua batonda ne baleja patoke malu avuabu benza.
19 Bushuwa, bantu ba bungi bavua benza malu a majimbu bakasangisha mikanda yabu, kuyoshabu kumpala kua bantu bonso.+ Bakenza makumi a mushinga wayi yonso, kusanganabu ne: ivua ya binjanja bia arjan binunu 50.
20 Nunku mu mushindu uvua uleja bukole, dîyi dia Yehowa* diakatungunuka ne kuya kumpala ne kuikala ne bukole bua bungi.+
21 Malu aa mamane kuenzeka, Paulo wakadisuika mu lungenyi luende ne: yeye mumane kupitshila mu Makedonia+ ne mu Akaya, uvua ne bua kuenza luendu too ne ku Yelushalema.+ Wakamba ne: “Meme mumane kuyaku, nengikale ne bua kumona kabidi Lomo.”+
22 Nunku wakatuma bantu babidi ba ku bavua bamuambuluisha ku Makedonia: Timote+ ne Elasto,+ kadi yeye wakashala ndambu wa matuku mu provense wa Asia.
23 Mu matuku au, bimvundu bikole+ biakajuka bua Njila.+
24 Bualu muntu mukuabu diende Demetelio, nsenda wa biamu bia arjan uvua wenza tuntempelo tua tshiamu tshia arjan tua Atemise, uvua upetesha bansenda makasa a bungi.+
25 Wakabasangisha bobu ne bantu bakuabu bavua benza bintu bia buena ebi, kuambaye ne: “Balumiana, nudi bamanye bimpe ne: ku mudimu eu nkutudi tupetela bubanji buetu.
26 Mpindieu nudi numona ne numvua mudi Paulo eu muitabijije musumba wa bantu ba bungi, mubashintulule lungenyi, ki nganu mu Efeso+ nkayamu to, kadi ne mu provense wa Asia pabuipi ne yonso, wamba ne: nzambi idi mienza ku bianza ki nnzambi menemene to.+
27 Bualu bukuabu kabidi, katuena tutshina anu bua lumu lua mudimu wetu kalunyanguki, kadi tudi tutshina kabidi bua kabalu kuangata ntempelo wa Atemise, nzambi mukaji munene, bu tshintu tshia tshianana, ne yeye udibu batendelela mu provense mujima wa Asia ne pa buloba budi bantu basombe, nebamupangishe butumbi buende.”
28 Pakumvuabu bualu ebu, bantu aba bakafiika munda bikole, kutuadijabu kuela mbila ne: “Atemise wa bena Efeso mmunene!”
29 Nunku tshimvundu tshiakakuatakana mu tshimenga tshionso, ne bakaya bonso lubilu muaba wa manaya, benda bapulumuna Gayo ne Alistâko,+ bena Makedonia bavua benza luendu ne Paulo.
30 Paulo uvua pende musue kubuela muaba uvua bantu au, kadi bayidi kabakamuitabila to.
31 Nansha bamue balongolodi ba bibilu ne manaya bavua nende bimpe bakamutumina mukenji bamusengelela bua kayi kuteka muoyo wende mu njiwu muaba wa manaya au to.
32 Mu bulelela, bamue bantu bavua bela mbila bamba bualu bumue, bakuabu bamba bukuabu; bualu bantu bavua badisangishe bavua mu kayumbayumba, ne ba bungi ba kudibu kabavua bamanye tshivuabu badisangishile to.
33 Nunku bakapatula Alesandelo mu musumba wa bantu abu, bena Yuda benda bamusakila kumpala; Alesandelo wakapuwisha bantu ne tshianza, ukeba kudilumbuluila kumpala kua bantu.
34 Kadi pakajingululabu ne: uvua muena Yuda, bonso bakatuadija kuela mbila diatshimue munkatshi mua mêba matue ku abidi bamba ne: “Atemise wa bena Efeso mmunene!”
35 Ndekelu wa bionso, pavua mufundi wa malu a mu tshimenga mutukije musumba wa bantu, wakamba ne: “Nuenu bena Efeso, nnganyi wa munkatshi mua bantu udi kayi mumanye bulelela ne: tshimenga tshia Efeso ke tshidi tshilama ntempelo wa Atemise munene ne tshimfuanyi tshivua tshikuluke tshifuma mu diulu?
36 Bu mudi malu aa kaayi mua kuedibua mpata, nudi ne bua kuikala ne lutulu ne kubenga kuenza malu lukasa lukasa.
37 Bualu nudi balue ne bantu aba badi kabayi nansha bivi ba bintu bia mu ntempelo anyi bapendi ba nzambi wetu mukaji.
38 Nunku bikala Demetelio+ ne bansenda badiye nabu bikale tshilumbu ne muntu, kudi matuku a kulumbuluisha bantu ne kudi kabidi banguvena;* baye kufundangana.
39 Kadi binuikala nukeba bualu bukuabu pa kumbusha ebu, badi ne bua kubutangila mu tshisangilu tshijalame.
40 Bualu, tudi bushuwa mu njiwu ya kutubandabu mutudi tutombokela mbulamatadi mu tshilumbu tshia lelu etshi, bu mutudi katuyi ne tshia kuamba bua kumvuija tshidi bantu bena tshimvundu aba badikunguijile.”
41 Pakambaye malu aa, wakatangalaja bantu bavua badisangishe abu.
