Koma atadikira nthawi yaitali, naona kuti palibe choipa chamuchitikira, anasintha maganizo awo, namutcha kuti ndi mulungu.

Paulo Alalikira Ufumu

¹⁶Titalowa mu Roma, Paulo analoledwa kukhala pa yekha, pamodzi ndi msilikali amene ankamulondera.

¹⁷Patapita masiku atatu, anasonkhanitsa atsogoleri a Ayuda. Atasonkhana, anati kwa iwo, “Abale, ngakhale sindinachite kanthu kalikonse kotsutsana ndi anthu athu kapena miyambo ya makolo athu, ndinaperekedwa ngati mkaidi kuchokera ku Yerusalemu mʼmanja mwa Aroma. ¹⁸Atandifufuza, anafuna kundimasula, chifukwa ndinalibe mlandu woyenera imfa. ¹⁹Koma pamene Ayuda anakana, ndinakakamizidwa kupempha kuti ndikaonekere kwa Kaisara, ngakhale ndinalibe mlandu wobweretsa pa mtundu wanga. ²⁰Ichi ndi chifukwa chake ndinapempha kuti ndikuoneni ndi kuyankhula nanu; pakuti ndavala unyolo uwu chifukwa cha chiyembekezo cha Israeli.”

²¹Iwo anati kwa iye, “Ife sitinalandire makalata ochokera ku Yudeya onena za iwe, ndipo palibe mʼbale aliyense amene anabwera nanena kapena kuyankhula choipa chilichonse cha iwe. ²²Tikufuna kumva zimene umaganiza, popeza tikudziwa kuti gulu ili limatsutsidwa paliponse.”

²³Anaika tsiku, ndipo anabwera ambiri kumalo kumene iye ankakhala. Kuchokera mʼmawa mpaka madzulo, iye anafotokoza, nachitira umboni za ufumu wa Atate wathu, nayesa kuwakopa za Yesu kuchokera mu Chilamulo cha Mose ndi za Aneneri. ²⁴Ena anakopeka ndi zimene ananena, koma ena sanakhulupirire. ²⁵Posagwirizana pakati pawo, anachoka Paulo atawonjezera mawu omaliza amodzi, “Mzimu Woyera anayankhula molondola kwa makolo anu kudzera mwa mneneri Yesaya, nati,

²⁶“‘Pita kwa anthu awa, ndipo unene: Kumva mudzamva ndithu, koma simudzamvetsa, ndipo kuona mudzaona ndithu, koma simudzazindikira.

²⁷Pakuti mtima wa anthu awa wauma, ndipo makutu awo akumva movutikira, ndipo atsinzina maso awo; mwina angaone ndi maso awo, namva ndi makutu awo, namvetsa ndi mtima wawo, natembenuka, ndipo Ine ndikanawachiritsa.’

²⁸Choncho dziwani: chipulumutso cha Atate wathu chinatumizidwa kwa anthu a mitundu ina, ndipo iwo adzamvera.” ^a a v28 Malembo akale kwambiri alibe vesi 29 pano; makope a pambuyo pake amawonjezera kuti, “Atanena izi, Ayuda anachoka, akutsutsana kwambiri pakati pawo.”

³⁰Iye anakhala zaka ziwiri zonse mʼnyumba yake yobwereka, nalandira onse amene anabwera kwa iye, ³¹akulalikira ufumu wa Atate wathu, naphunzitsa za Ambuye Yesu Khristu, molimba mtima ndi mosatsekerezedwa.
