18 Yapo adavela chimwechi, adasiya kwaachucha ni kuyamba kumkweza Mnungu, niakamba, "Mnungu waapacha wandhu osati Ayahudi malo yolapa kuti apate umoyo wamuyaya."

19 Wokhulupilila wina yawo adamwazika ndande ya mavuto yayo yadachitika yapo wadaphedwa Sitifano, adapita kutali mbaka ku Fonesiya, Kipulo ni ku Atioki, nauzila uthenga wa Mnungu kwa Ayahudipe. 20 Nambho wokhulupilila anjake yawo adachokela ku Kipulo ni Kilene, adapita ku Antiokia ni kukambilana ni wandhu osati Ayahudi, niwaakambila uthenga wabwino wa nghani za Ambuye Yesu. 21 Ambuye wadachogoza kwa mbhavu yake, ni gulu la wandhu ambili lidakhulupilila ni kumng'anamukila Ambuye.

22 Nghani za wandhu wajha zidafika mbaka kwa wandhu adamkhulupilila Yesu a ku Yelusalemu, chimwecho adamtuma Banaba wapite ku Antiokia. 23 Yapo wadafika kumeneko ni kuona umo Mnungu wadaapachila mwawi wandhu, wadakondwa kupunda ni wadaapembha ayendekele kukhala okhulupilika kwa Ambuye. 24 Banaba wadali mundhu wabwino, wachogozedwa ni mbhavu za Mzimu Woyela ni chikhulupililo, ndande ya Banaba wandhu ambili amachuluka kwa Ambuye.

25 Ndiipo Banaba wadapita ku mujhi wa Taliso kukamfunafuna Saulo. 26 Yapo wadampheza, wadapitanayo ku Antiokia.
