Bhwo tukutiila, tukabha pamupeene nu mundu yumo yuuyo ingamu yaake akabha ghwi Alisitaako yuuyo akafumagha mu kaaya aka Tesaloniike mu chiisu icha Makendooniya.
3 Ishiku ningeelo, tukafika mu kaaya aka Sindoni. Bhwo twafika, uYuliyo akamubhombela akiisa uPaabhuli ku sila iya kumwitikisha ukuti akomaane na bhamanyani bhaake bhaabho bhakiikalagha mu kaaya ako ukuti bhamwafwe fiifyo akalondagha.
4 Bhwo twatiila mu kaaya aka Sindoni, ingalabha yikaghenda kulubhafu ulwa kumutu ulwa lusungo ulwa Kiipulo. Tukabhomba ulwo ku nongwa iya kuti tukooghopagha ichikungu ichikali.
5 Tukalobhoka inyanja ukughendela kulubhafu ulwa chiisu icha Kilikiya ni chiisu icha Pamufiiliya, tukafika mu kaaya aka Miila kaako kali mu chiisu icha Likiya.
6 Bhwo tukaali tuli mu kaaya aka Miila, usongo ughwa bhashikali uYuliyo yula akapulika ukuti yiliipo ingalabha yiiyo yikafumagha mu kaaya aka Alekisandiliya nu kubhuuka mu chiisu icha Itaaliya. Pabhumalilo tweshi tukakwela mu ngalabha yila.
7 Ingalabha yila yikaghendagha panandi panandi nu kwegha amashiku amingi mu sila, po tukafika ku ndamyo mu kaaya aka Nindo. Ku nongwa iya chikungu ichikali, ingalabha yikapootwa ukugholoka isa muumwo tukalondelagha. Po ukuti ingalabha manye yikomaane ni chikungu, yikaghenda kulubhafu ulwa lusungo ulwa Kileete kupiipi nu bhuyo bhumo bhuubhwo ingamu yaake bhakatingi Salumone.
8 Po tukaghenda kulubhafu ulwa Kileete ku ndamyo inyingi nu kufika pabhuyo bhumo paapo ingalabha yibhaghiile ukwima. Ubhuyo ubhwo ingamu yaake bhakatingi Bhuyo Bhwisa paapo pakabha papiipi na kaaya aka Laseeya.
9 Po tukataagha akabhalilo akingi ukughenda mu nyanja, soona koope akabhalilo akiisa aka kughenda mu nyanja kakabha kaashila. Po kukabha kupala leka ukwendelela ukuchuula mu nyanja. Po uPaabhuli akabhasoka akati,
10 “Mwe bhanyiitu umwe, ingusuuma muumbulikishe! Naatesha ukuti isila yiitu indiyibhe ni ndamyo ingulu leka paapo ingalabha ni mishigho yaake indifikomanike, soona abhandu bhamu pakati papiitu indibhafwe.”
11 Loole usongo ughwa bhashikali yula atakapulika shiisho uPaabhuli akayugha, loole akiitikana na shiisho umughendesha ngalabha nu mwene ngalabha bhakamubhuula.
12 Ku nongwa iya kuti pabhuyo paapo ingalabha yikwimagha patakabha akiisa akabhalilo aka mbepo, abhandu abhingi bhaabho bhakabha mu ngalabha yila bhakiitikana ukutiila pabhuyo bhula nu kusubhaalila ukufika mu kaaya aka Foyinike nu kwikala ukwo akabhalilo aka mbepo. Ubhuyo ubhu bhukabha mu chiisu icha Kileete bhuubhwo bhukatendekeshighwa akiisa ukushighila ichikungu ichikali chiicho chikafumilagha kuukwo isubha likukilila.
Ichikungu mu nyanja
13 Bhwo ichikungu chiicho chitakabha na maka chiicho chikafumilagha kutulundi chaanda ukukuka, abhaghendesha ngalabha bhakaanda ukwinongʼona ukuti bhabhaghiile ukufika kuukwo bhakabhuukagha. Po bhakaghutiisha umwela nu kwanda ukughendesha ingalabha nu kubhuuka ukughendela kulubhafu ku lusungo ulwa Kileete.
14 Loole bhwo akabhalilo akapimba kaakinda, ichikungu icha maka chikakukagha ukufuma ku lusungo ulwa Kileete, chiicho ingamu yaake bhakatingi Ebhulakilo kwo kuti, “Chikungu ukufuma kumutu.”
15 Ichikungu chila chikaanda ukuyikoma ku maka ingalabha yila, ku nongwa iyo tukapootwa ukwendelela isa muumwo tukalondelagha. Pabhumalilo abhaghendesha ngalabha bhakaleka ukuyilongosha, loole ichikungu chikaanda ukuyisungila ku maka ingalabha.
16 Po ingalabha yikaghenda kulubhafu ku lusungo ulunandi luulwo ingamu yaake bhakatingi Kabhunda. Ulusungo ulwo lukashighila panandi ichikungu chiicho chikakukagha. Bhwo ingalabha yikughenda, abhaghendesha ngalabha bhakakwesha nu kupinya ku ndamyo ubhwato ubhwa kubhapoka abhandu bhaabho bhakabha mu miishi.
17 Bhwo bhaabhukwesha ubhwato, bhakayipinya ingalabha paase ni ngoye ukuti fikolane pamupeene manye yikomanikaghe. Ku nongwa iya kuti bhakooghopagha ukuti ingalabha indiyibhuuke nabho ukufika ku musanga ghuughwo ghukabha ku chiseese ku chiisu icha Limbiya, bhakiisha umwela umungʼwamu ghula mukati mu nyanja nu kuyileka ingalabha ukuti ichikungu chiyisungilaghe panandi panandi.
18 Ishiku ilya ningeelo ichikungu ni nguli isha mu nyanja fikoongelagha ukuyikoma akabhiibhi ingalabha. Po abhabhombi abha mu ngalabha bhakaanda ukutiisha imishigho nu kutaaghila mu nyanja ukuti ingalabha yibhe mbepe.
19 Loole pi ishiku ilya bhutatu bhwo bhaagha ichikungu chikwendelela ngaani, bhakaanda ukutaagha ni fibhombelo fimo ifya kughendeshekesha ingalabha ukuti yibhe mbepe.
20 Ichikungu chikeendelela ukukuka ku maka ngaani, tukaanda ukupootwa ukulibhona isubha ni ndoondwa ku mashiku amingi. Pabhumalilo tutakabha nu lusuubhilo ulwa kupona.
21 Abhandu bhooshi bhaabho bhakabhaamwo mu ngalabha yila bhakiikala amashiku amingi chishita kulya naakamu. Po ishiku limo uPaabhuli akiima pakati papaabho, akabhabhuula akati, “Mwe bhanyiitu umwe, linga mukaambulikagha ishiku lila liilyo ingabhabhuulagha ukuti manye tutiilaghe mu lusungo ulwa Kileete, ngali katakomanika naakamu isa muumwo ishi shaatwagha.
22 Ulu ingubhasuuma mwikashe paapo ataliipo umundu naayumo pakati papiitu yuuyo indiafwe, loole ingalabha iyi yeene yo yiiyo indiyikomanike nu kutwibha.
23 Ishimeenye ishi ku nongwa iya kuti akabhalilo aka pabhushiku uChaala yuuyo une nee mundu ghwake soona yuuyo ingumwipuutagha, amutumite ughwandumi ghwake kukwangu. Ughwandumi uyo iimite papiipi nuune,
24 aambuulite ukuti, ‘Ghwe Paabhuli, manye ghwoghopaghe! Ughwe kulondighwa ubhuuke ku chiisu icha Looma nu kwima pandaashi pa Kayisaali ukuti akulonge. Soona ingulonda umanye ukuti ku nongwa iya chisa chaake kukwako, uChaala indiabhapoke abhandu bhooshi bhaabho bhali pamupeene nuughwe mu ngalabha iyo.’
25 Ku nongwa iyo, mwe bhanyiitu umwe, ikashanga paapo une ingwitika ukuti uChaala indiabhombe isa muumwo aambuuliile.
26 Loole ingalabha indiyitutaaghe ku chiseese icha lusungo lumo.”
27 Ishiku limo bhwo ubhushiku ubhwa kalongo na bhunna (14) bhwafika ukwandila muumwo ichikungu chikaandila, ichikungu chikabha chikaali chikuyisungila ingalabha mu nyanja iya Andiliya. Bhwo akabhalilo kaafika pabhushiku pakati, abhabhombi bhakiinongʼonagha ukuti ingalabha yaapalamila ukufika ku chiisu ichikafu.
28 Po bhakeegha nu kwisha ichipimilo icha miishi mu nyanja. Bhwo bhaapima, bhakaagha ichishibha chili amatambo amalongo matatu, mahaano na mabhili (37) ukufika paase pa nyanja. Bhwo bhaaghenda pandaashi panandi, bhakapima soona nu kwagha ichishibha chili amatambo amalongo mabhili, mahaano na mabhili (27) ukufika paase pa nyanja.
29 Ku nongwa iya kuti bhakooghopagha ukuti ingalabha indiyiikome mu lyalabhwe, abhabhombi bhakeegha imyela imingʼwamu minna yiiyo yikabha kunyuma ku ngalabha nu kutaaghila mu nyanja ukuti ingalabha manye yighendaghe. Po bhakaanda ukwipuuta ukuti kuchange lubhilo.
30 Abhabhombi abho bhakalondagha ukwika nu kuyileka ingalabha ukuti bhakinde nu kusobha. Po bhakiisha ubhwato loole bhakiibhiika ungati bhakulonda ukwisha umwela umungʼwamu ghuughwo ghukabha kundaashi ku ngalabha.
31 Loole uPaabhuli akashaaghania shiisho bhakabhombagha, po akamubhuula usongo ughwa bhashikali pamupeene na bhashikali abhanine akati, “Linga abhabhombi abha bhatakushaala mu ngalabha iyi, umwe mutabhaghiile ukupona.”
32 Po abhashikali bhala bhakayibhegha imighoye yila yiiyo abhabhombi bhala bhakapinyila ubhwato. Bhwo bhaayibhegha, bhakabhulekela ubhwato, bhwope bhukaghwila mu nyanja.
33 Bhwo kwapalamila ukucha, uPaabhuli akabhasuuma abhandu bhooshi bhaabho bhakabhaamwo mu ngalabha yila ukuti bhalye ifindu, akabhabhuula akati, “Umuusughu lishiku lya kalongo na manna (14) bhwo mukaali mukupaasha ukuti mutaliile naakamu.
34 Ulu ingubhasuuma mulye ifindu paapo indifibhaafwe ukuti mubhange bhuumi. Ingubhabhuula ulwo ku nongwa iya kuti ataliipo umundu naayumo pakati papiinyu yuuyo indiasofye na kangʼwili kamu ukufuma ku mutu ghwake.”
35 Bhwo uPaabhuli aayugha amashu agho, akeegha umukati, akamupaalisha uChaala pandaashi pa bhandu bhooshi, akaghubheghulania, akaanda ukulya.
36 Ukukongana na shiisho uPaabhuli akabhomba, abhandu bhooshi bhakakabha amaka, bhoope bhakeegha ifindu nu kulya.
37 Mu ngalabha yila tukabhaamwo abhandu imya shibhili, amalongo mahaano na mabhili, bhahaano na yumo (276).
38 Bhwo abhandu bhooshi bhaalya nu kwikuta, bhakaanda ukutaagha ingano mu nyanja ukuti ingalabha yibhe mbepe.
39 Bhwo bhwacha, abhabhombi abha mu ngalabha yila bhakachibhona ichiisu chimo, loole bhatakachimanyagha. Po bhakatesha nu kubhubhona ubhuyo bhumo bhuubhwo bhukabha nu musanga, bhakiitikana ukughela ukuyighendesha ingalabha yila ukuti yifike pabhuyo bhula.
40 Bhamu bhakabhegha ingoye shooshi shiisho bhakapinyila imyela imingʼwamu nu kuyileka yighwile mu nyanja, soona abhanine bhakaabhula ingoye shiisho bhakapinyila ichipotelo icha ngalabha. Po bhakakwesha umwenda umukulu kundaashi ku ngalabha ukuti ichikungu chiyisungilaghe ingalabha kundaashi ukubhuuka ku chiseese.
41 Loole bhwo ingalabha yila yaafika paapo umusanga umwingi ghukabhungaana mukati mu nyanja ungati chighamba, yikapootwa ukughenda. Ulubhafu ulwa kundaashi ulwa ngalabha lukiingila mu musanga, ingalabha yikapatila, loole ulubhafu ulwa kunyuma ulwa ngalabha lukakomanika nu kuyabhanika ku nongwa iya kukomighwa ku maka ni nguli ingulu.
42 Bhwo abhashikali bhaashibhona shooshi isho, bhakatumula ukuti bhabhaghoghe abhapinyighwa bhooshi paapo bhakooghopagha ukuti bhabhaghiile ukusabha nu kulobhoka ku isiila, bhakinde nu kusobha.
43 Loole ku nongwa iya kuti usongo ughwa bhashikali atakalondagha ukuti uPaabhuli aghoghighwe, akabhakaanisha abhashikali bhala ukuti manye bhabhombaghe shiisho bhabhaatikite. Po akalaghila ku bhandu bhooshi ukuti umundu ghweshi yuuyo abhaghiile ukusabha, iitaaghe mu nyanja taashi, asabhe nu kulobhoka ku isiila.
44 Loole abhanine bhooshi bhaabho bhatakamanya ukusabha, usongo yula akalaghila ukuti bheeghe amatapwa pamu ifibhali ifya ngalabha yiiyo yikakomanika ukuti fibhaafwe ukulobhoka. Pabhumalilo ghweshi umundu akalobhoka akiisa.
