3 ebeka phambi kwawo ukuba uKristu* ubemelwe kukuva ubunzima, aze avuke kwabafileyo; nokuthi, Nguye ke uKristu, lo Yesu ndinazisa yena mna.
4 Inxenye kuwo yoyiseka, yazibandakanya noPawulos noSilas, kwanenkitha enkulu yamaGrike amhlonelayo uThixo; nakubafazi abaziintloko àbaba mbalwa.
5 Ke kaloku amaYuda angoyisekileyo, enomsindo, azithabathela amadoda athile angendawo, angamahilihili, enza ibubu, awuphithizelisa umzi, ayifikela nendlu kaYason, efuna ukubarholela eluntwini.
6 Akuba engabafumananga ke, amrholela uYason nabazalwana abathile kubaphathi bomzi, ebhomboloza esithi, Aba baliqungaqungileyo elimiweyo, bona bafikile nalapha;
7 athe uYason wabamkela ngobubele; baye bonke aba besenza okuchasene nemimiselo kaKesare,* besithi, Kukho kumkani wumbi unguYesu.
8 Asikhathaza ke isihlwele nabaphathi bomzi, bakuziva ezi zinto.
9 Bethabathe isibambiso kuYason nakwabanye, babakhulula.
