24 Etjalebeleka ezwimila, Fesitasi wakalebeleka newhi lipehhugwi eti, "Unopenga Phawuli; diyika kuko kunjisa kwekupengesa."

25 Koga Phawuli wakati, "Anditopenga, unokudziwa Fesitasi, koga ndoleba lebeswa lakatambunuka. 26 Ngobe mambo banoziba nekwezwinhu izwezwi, kakale ndolebeleka nabo ndakahalabvuka; ngobe ndinalebeswa kuti akuna tjimwe tjayizwezwi zwinhu tjabasingazibe, ngobe ikoku akuzoyetika pakasumbikika. 27 Mambo Agiripha, mogalamoyo balebesambeli? Ndoziba kuti mogalamoyo."

28 Agiripha wakati kuna Phawuli, "Nokumbula kuti nelubakanyana igogu ungandithama Nkhirisitu!"

29 Phawuli wakati, "Gungabe gufupi kene gulefu, ndotembezela kuNdzimu kuti athame kusibe imwi moga koga nayibo bose banondiwha muhhuba lanasi babe sekwandili iko, kuhhe kweketane idzedzi."

30 Mambo nembhati wentunhu naBhenisi bakamilika, kose nebabaka baligele nabo; 31 bakati batjibva ipapo, bakalebelesana beti, "Nlume iwhoyu akuna tjaathama tjaakafanila bulayigwa kene sigwa mujele." 32 Agiripha wakati kuna Fesitasi, "Nlume iwhoyu waangabe asunungugwa hapa waka esakumbila pindisigwa kuna Khesari."
