I Ikoniyumu binjira hamwe mu rusengero rw'Abayahudi, baravuga ku buryo umubare munini w'Abayahudi n'Abagereki bemera. Ariko Abayahudi banze kwemera batera urwango, bashyiramo uburozi imitima y'abanyamahanga ngo bange abavandimwe. Bamara igihe kirekire, bavugana ubutwari ku bwa Nyagasani, uwahamije ubutumwa bwe bw'ubuntu, akora ibimenyetso n'ibitangaza binyuze mu maboko yabo. Ariko umujyi urigabanyamo: bamwe bashyigikira Abayahudi, abandi bashyigikira Intumwa.

Data akirira i Lisitira

Hari umugabo wari wicaye i Lisitira, afite amaguru adakora, ari ikirema kuva avuka, utari warigeze agenda. Yari ateze amatwi Pawulo avuga. Pawulo aramwitegereza, abona ko afite ukwizera kumukiza, aravuga ijwi rirenga ati: “Haguruka uhagarare ku maguru yawe.” Uwo mugabo araturumbuka atangira kugenda. Imbaga y'abantu ibonye ibyo Pawulo yakoze, baranguruye amajwi mu rurimi rw'Abanyalikawoniya bati: “Imana zimanukiye ziri mu ishusho y'abantu!” Barunaba bamwita Zewusi, naho Pawulo bamwita Herimesi, kuko ari we wayoboraga imvugo. Umutambyi wa Zewusi, uwo urusengero rwe rwari imbere y'umujyi, azana ibimasa n'uburabyo ku marembo, ashaka gutamba ibitambo hamwe n'imbaga y'abantu.

Ariko Intumwa Barunaba na Pawulo babyumvise, batantamura imyambaro yabo, biruka binjira mu mbaga y'abantu, baranguruye amajwi, baravuga bati: “Bagabo, mbese mukora ibi mukurikije iki? Natwe turi abantu nkamwe, dufite kamere imwe namwe. Turabazaniye Ubutumwa bwiza: nimuve kuri ibi bintu by'impfabusa muhindukirire Data uhoraho, uwaremye ijuru n'isi n'inyanja na byose biri muri byo. Mu bihe byashize yaretse amahanga yose agakurikiza inzira yayo bwite, nyamara ntiyabuze umuhamya: akora ibyiza, abaha imvura iva mu ijuru n'ibihe byera imbuto, yuzuza imitima yanyu ibyokurya n'ibyishimo.”

N'ubwo bavuga ayo magambo, bakoze uko bashoboye ngo babuze imbaga y'abantu kubitambira ibitambo. Ariko Abayahudi bavuye i Antiyokiya n'i Ikoniyumu baraza, bemeza imbaga y'abantu, bateza Pawulo amabuye, bamukururira hanze y'umujyi bibwira ko yapfuye. Igihe abigishwa bamukikije, arahaguruka ajya mu mujyi. Bukeye asohokana na Barunaba berekeza i Derube.

Bamaze kwamamaza Ubutumwa bwiza muri uwo mujyi no kwigisha abigishwa benshi, basubira i Lisitira, i Ikoniyumu n'i Antiyokiya, bakomeza imitima y'abigishwa, babahanangiriza kuguma mu kwizera: tugomba kwinjira mu bwami bwa Data wacu dukize imibabaro myinshi. Bamaze kubashyiriraho abakuru muri buri torero, basenga bigomwa kurya, babagabiza Nyagasani uwo bari bemeye.

Nuko banyura muri Pisidiya, bagera i Pamfiliya. Bamaze kuvuga ijambo i Peruge, bamanukira i Atariya, bavuye aho bambuka bagera i Antiyokiya, aho bari baragabirijwe ubuntu bwa Data wacu ku murimo bari barangije. Bagezeyo, bakoranya itorero, babitangariza ibyo Data wacu yakoze afatanyije na bo byose, n'uko yakinguriye abanyamahanga urugi rw'ukwizera. Nuko bamara igihe kirekire bari kumwe n'abigishwa.
