8Munthu wina anakhala pansi mu Lustra, wolumala mapazi, wopunduka kuyambira pobadwa, amene sanayende konse. 9Iye anali kumvetsera Paulo akulankhula. Paulo anamuyang'anitsitsa, naona kuti anali ndi chikhulupiriro chochiritsidwa, 10nati ndi mau okweza, “Imirira chilili pa mapazi ako.” Munthuyo analumpha, nayamba kuyenda. 11Pamene makamu a anthu anaona chimene Paulo anachita, anafuwula m'Chilukaoniya, “Milungu yatsika kwa ife m'maonekedwe a anthu!” 12Baranaba anamutcha Zeu, ndipo Paulo anamutcha Herme, chifukwa iye ndiye anali mlankhuli wamkulu. 13Wansembe wa Zeu, amene kachisi wake anali patsogolo pa mzinda, anabweretsa ng'ombe zazimuna ndi nkhata za maluwa ku zipata, pofuna kupereka nsembe pamodzi ndi makamu a anthu.
14Koma atamva zimenezi, atumwi Baranaba ndi Paulo anang'amba zovala zawo, nathamangira pakati pa khamu la anthu, akufuwula, 15nati, “Amuna inu, muchita zimenezi chifukwa chiyani? Ifenso ndife anthu, a chikhalidwe chimodzi ndi inu. Tikubweretserani uthenga wabwino: lekani zinthu zopanda pake izi, mutembenukire kwa Atate wamoyo, amene analenga kumwamba, dziko lapansi, nyanja, ndi zonse zili m'menemo. 16M'mibadwo yakale analola mitundu yonse kuyenda njira yawo, 17komabe sanadzisiye popanda umboni: pochita zabwino, nakupatsani mvula yochokera kumwamba ndi nyengo za zipatso, nadzaza mitima yanu ndi chakudya ndi chimwemwe.”
18Ngakhale ndi mau amenewa, anavutika kuletsa makamu a anthu kupereka nsembe kwa iwo. 19Koma Ayuda ochokera ku Antiokeya ndi Ikoniya anadza, nakopa makamu a anthu, namuponya Paulo miyala, namukokera kunja kwa mzinda, poganiza kuti wafa. 20Pamene ophunzira anamuzungulira, anauka, nalowa mu mzinda. Mmawa mwake anachoka kupita ku Derebe pamodzi ndi Baranaba.
