23 Kuya kamlaghitsa imkulu we asikali yamlolese Pauli, lekeni yamlekele chidogho, na yawaleke sale tsake wamwapfile.
24 Haghabitile ghamatsuwa mengi Felikisi katsa na mwehe wake Dulisila, iyakalile Myahudi. Kalaghitsa Pauli yakemighwe na kamtegheletsa hayang'ali yolonga mbuli tse ukumtoghola Yesu Kiristu.
25 Lekeni Pauli hayang'ali yoghendelela ukulonga mbuli iimtenda imunu yanoghe hambele he Imulungu, na mbuli tsa kuwa na kiyasi, na mbuli tse litsuwa lya ukuhighighwa ilikutsa, Felikisi ang'ali yopfuka, kalonga, “Uleke tanu, sambi kodaha kughenda, hanitsopata nyafasi nitsokukema.”
26 Kuya Feliksi tsayang'ali yololela ka Pauli ang'amwing'ile sendi, apfo chila mala tsakamkema na kulonga naye.
27 Imiyaka mili haimalile, Polikiyo Festo tsakambokela Felikisi kutawala, kawa imkulu we isi. Lekeni kwaapfila Felikisi tsakabama awadeng'elese Wayahudi, kamleka Pauli mwigheletsa.
