13 Nambo, Bhayahudi bha ku Tesalonike pabhakahimanyanga yakubhee, hele hela Apaulo atendita kutangacha lilobhe lya Annoongo konokwe ku Belea, bhakajaulanga konokwe, bhakajemekanga kwaatendela ukomu na kwelekea mabhoga ga bhandu. 14 Palapala bhandu bhabhakahobhalela Ayesu bhakaachapalia Apaulo ajaule kumbwani nambo Asila na Atimotheo bhakaigalilanga ku Belea. 15 Bhenibhala bhandu bhabhahobhalela Ayesu bhabhaakachapalia Apaulo bhakajendanga pamo nabho mpaka ku chilambo cha Atene. Ngapena, bhakaaleka Apaulo na bhakabhujanga na malagilo kubhoka kwa Apaulo kubhee Asila na Atimotheo bhaakagule chindema.

16 Apaulo pabhatenda kwaalenda Asila na Atimotheo konokwe ku chilambo cha Atene, akatumbala muno kwa kubhoka kujimbika kwa hidimu ya minnoongo, pabhakabhona henela akaabhina muno mu ntima gwabhe. 17 Henela akakonyananga na Bhayahudi na bhandu bhangi bhanga Bhayahudi nambo bhabhahobhalela Annoongo mu nyuumba ja konganilananga Bhayahudi. Hela hela kila lichobha atendita kulongela na bhandu bhabhakakongana nabho palugwinjili pamo na bhoa bhabhakahikanga. 18 Bhandu bhangi bhatendita kukagala majigano ga Bhaepikuleo na Bhasitoiki bhakataukana na Apaulo. Bhangi bhakalongelanga, "Hojo mundu jwa lobholobho apala kulongela chiniki?"

Bhangi bhakalobholanga, "Ibhonekana alongela ngani ja minoongo ja chigeni." Bhakalobholanga gangani ligongo Apaulo akibha atendakutangacha ngani ja Ayesu na kuyoka. 19 Henela bhakaatola Apaulo na bhakaapela pachebule jijikemwa Aleopago, bhakalobholanga, "Bholi, tupakombola kugamanya majigano haga gayono gajigana chiniki? 20 Tutekujoa mmikulongela hilebhe higeni, henela tupala kumanya maana gakwe nga chiniki." 21 Bhandu bha ku Atene na akaageni bhoha bhabhatamanga monomwe, kwa machobha gabhenji goha bhatendita kupala kukongolelananga na kujoanikia ngani hiyono.

22 Ngapena Apaulo akajema nnongi ja chebule jenejo ja Aleopago, akalobhola, "Bhandu bha ku Atene! Komboleka mwangota nga bhandu bhankotimilanga kwa kutopea muno minnoongi jinunji. 23 Panakibha ndendakujeenda pannyini na kulolekea kwa kwakuchimila hidimu yinunji, nakalola litatali lya kubhokea mbeeko, jijaandikwe, ‘Kwa annoongo jwangamanyikana.’ Bahi Annoongo juntendakunkotimilanga kwa kutopea pangali kuimanya, nga jonojwe jundendakuntangachianga kwaachitu. 24 Jonojwe nga Annoongo, jwahalakihe chilambo na yoha hihibhile nkati jakwe, jonojwe nga Hangwana bha Kunani kwa Annoongo na chilambo, ngatama mu nyuumba jijichengitwe na bhandu. 25 Ngatumukiwa na bhandu na ngapala chilebhe choachela kubhoka kwaachabhenji, ligongo jonojwe bhene nga jwaapekea bhandu bhoha umoomi na mboomo na kwapekea hilebhe yoha. 26 Kubhoka kwa mundu jumo, bhena akatukuhalakia bhandu bhoha na kutama pachilambo, nabhena akabheka nga lii na koji bhena bhandu kubhapakutamanga. 27 Annoongo akatenda henela ili bhandu bhaalolee hata kwa kupaapaa kupala bhammone. Henela Annoongo jwangabhee kutali na kila jumo jwitu, 28 handa chibhalongile mundu jumo,

‘Nkati jabhe jonojwe twenga tutendakutama,’

Tutendakuchikombola, na tubhile!

Nga handa bhandu bhinu bhangi chibhalongilinge.

‘Twenga nga bhana bhabhe.’

29 Twenga nga bhana bha Annoongo, ngapalikwa kuganikia kubhee Annoongo nga handa chidimu cha bhuunyu madini ga mbiha au liganga lilibhachitwe kwa umanyo na kulikulungila kwa bhandu. 30 Annoongo akachitenda handa ngalola machobha genigala yakubhee bhandu pabhakibhanga ngaamanya Annoongo bha kweli. Nambo nangocheni bhatendakunkulumikia bhandu bhoha bhalekange kulemwa kwabhenji na kwabhujila bhenabho, 31 kwakubhee atekubheka lichobha yakubhee apakuukumula chilambo handa chiikondeekwa apakuntuma mundu jwaabhanhagwile, kwa jonojwe jwatekutulobholela bhandu bhoha kwa kwayoha Akilisito."

32 Pabhakajoanga ngani ya uyoho kubhoka kwa Apaulo, bhangi bhakaabheluha, nambo bhangi bhakalobholanga, "Tupala kunnyoanikia kabhele mmikongoloka ngani ja chikubho hecheche." 33 Henela, Apaulo akabhoka akaalekanga. 34 Nambo bhangi bhakalongana na jonojwe, bhakaahobhalela. Pakati jabhenji bhakibhanga Adionisio, jumo jwa chebule cha Aaleopago, hela hela akibha mwikege jumo jwakemitwa Adamali na bhangi bhajingi.
