Ne osiepna Theofilo: E kitapa mokwongo ne andikoe gik moko duto mane Yesu otimo kendo opuonjo, nyaka chop chiengʼ mane okawe motere e polo, bangʼ chiwo chik ni joote mane oseyiero kuom teko mar Roho Maler. Bangʼ kane osesande, ne onyisore en owuon ne jogi, kendo nochiwo ranyisi mangʼeny masiro ni ongima. Ne ofwenyorenigi kuom ndalo piero angʼwen ka owuoyo kuom pinyruodh Nyasaye. Chiengʼ moro achiel kane oyudo ochiemo kodgi, nowachonegi niya, “Kik uwuog Jerusalem, to rituru mich mane Wuonwa osingore ni nomiu, ma usewinja ka awuoyo kuome; nimar Johana nobatiso ji gi pi, to un bangʼ kinde manok ibiro batisou gi Roho Maler.”
Kuom mano, kane gisechokore kaachiel, negipenje niya, “Ruoth, kindeni ema ibiro duogo pinyruoth e lwet jo-Israel koso?”
Nodwokogi niya, “Ok en wachu mar ngʼeyo ndalo kata kinde ma Wuoro oseketo gi tekone owuon. To ubiro yudo teko ka Roho Maler obiro kuomu; kendo unubed joneno maga ei Jerusalem kendo ei Judea duto gi Samaria, kod tungʼ piny gi tungʼ piny.”

Bangʼ mano joote nowuok modok Jerusalem, ka gia ewi got miluongo ni Zeituni, ma en kama bor madirom kilomita achiel koa Jerusalem. Kane gichopo, negidhi nyaka kama negidakie, ei ot man malo ewi gorofa. Joma ne ni kanyo ne gin:

E kindeno Petro nochungʼ e kind joma oyie (mane nyalo romo ji mia gi piero ariyo) mi nowachonegi niya, “Owetena, Ndiko nyaka ne chop kare, mana kaka Roho Maler nohulo chon gi dho Daudi, kuom Judas mane otelo ni joma nomako Yesu. Chutho, Judas ne en achiel kuomwa, kendo en bende ne en-gi kare e tichwani.”

E sechego noyudo jo-Yahudi mathoth moluoro Nyasaye ni Jerusalem. Jogi noa e pinje duto manie bwo polo.

“Owetena, anyalo wachonu ka an gichir ni Daudi kwarwa notho mi noyike, kendo liende ni kodwa nyaka kawuono.

“Emomiyo nyaka ungʼe wachni malongʼo, un jo-Israel duto ni Nyasaye oseketo Yesu mane uguro Ruoth kendo Kristo.”
Kane ji owinjo wachno, chunygi nongʼadonigi bura, mine giwachone Petro kod joote mamoko niya, “Owetewa, en angʼo ma dwatim?”

Kane jakwechono pod otwere kuom Petro gi Johana, ji duto nohum nono. Negibiro gingʼwech ir jootego nyaka kama iluongo ni Agoch Solomon. Kane Petro onenogi, nowachonegi niya, “Un jo-Israel, angʼo momiyo gima otimoreni obwogou? Angʼo momiyo uchomo wangʼu kungʼiyowa mana ka gima tekowa wawegi kata timwa makare ema omiyo ngʼatni owuotho?

To un e nyikwa jonabigo, kendo un e weg singruok ma Nyasaye notimo gi kwereu.

Bangʼe jadolo maduongʼ nopenjo Stefano niya, “Weche modonjnigogi bende gin adier?”

“Omiyo Ibrahim nodar oweyo piny jo-Kaldea mi odhi odak e piny Haran. Bangʼ tho wuon-gi, Nyasaye nooro Ibrahim e piny makoro udakieni.

Kane Ibrahim onywolo wuode ma Isaka, notere nyangu bangʼ ndalo aboro kosenywole. Achien Isaka nonywolo Jakobo, kendo Jakobo bende nodoko wuon kwerewa apar gariyo.
“Nikech kwerewago ne nyiego omako gi Josef, ne giuse kaka misumba ne jo-Misri. To nikech Nyasaye ne ni kode, nokonye e chandruok duto mane oyudo. Ne omiyo Josef rieko ma kinde gi Farao ruodh Misri obedo maber. Omiyo Farao nokete jatelo maduongʼ morito piny Misri duto, nyaka od ruoth bende.

“Kane Musa koro ja-higni piero angʼwen, noparo e chunye mondo odhi olim owetene ma jo-Israel. Noneno ka ja-Misri moro goyo ja-Israel wadgi, omiyo ne odhi okonye mi nogoyo ja-Misrino monego.

Ne nitie ngʼat moro miluongo ni Simon. Ngʼatni nosebedo katimo timbe jwok e dala mar Samaria, kendo timbene nomako dho ji duto. Nosungore ni en ngʼama lich, kendo jo-Samaria duto, jomatindo gi jomadongo, noyie kode.

Eka Filipo noringo odhi nyaka but garino mi owinjo ka ngʼatno somo kitap Janabi Isaya. Filipo nopenje niya, “Bende iwinjo tiend gima isomono?”
Ja-Ethiopia nodwoko Filipo niya, “Ere kaka dawinj tiende kaonge ngʼama olerona tiende?” Omiyo norwako Filipo mondo oidh obed kode ei gari.
Kama noyudo ngʼatno somo ndiko kama wacho ni:
“Notere kar thone mana ka rombo mitero kar yengʼo,

Nodwoko niya, “Antie, Ruoth.”
Ruoth nowachone niya, “Wuogi idhi e od Judas, mantiere kama iluongo ni Yo Moriere Tir, mondo ipenjgi ngʼat moro ma ja-Tarso, miluongo ni Saulo nimar olemo kuno. Noneno ngʼat moro miluongo ni Anania e fweny ka obiro kendo noyieyo lwete kuome mondo ochak onen.”
To Anania nodwoko niya, “Ruoth, asewinjo weche mangʼeny kuom ngʼatno, gi timbene maricho mosebedo kotimo ni jogi maler modak Jerusalem. Kendo Damaski bende osebire ka jodolo madongo omiye teko mar mako ji duto maluongo nyingi.”

Nonyisogi kaka Saulo noseromo gi Ruoth kane oyudo en e wuodhe, kaka Ruoth nosewuoyo kode, kendo kaka Saulo noseyalo gi chir kuom nying Yesu e Damaski.

Kuom mano, ne wawinjore waduto mondo wayier jomoko waor iru kod osiepewa mwageno, Barnaba gi Paulo, ma gin joma osechiwo ngimagi ni Ruodhwa Yesu Kristo.

Pogruok obet e kind Paulo gi Barnaba
Bangʼ ndalo moko Paulo nowachone Barnaba niya, “Wadogi mondo walim jowete e mier matindo duto kuonde mwaseyale wach Ruoth, mondo wane kaka gidhi.” Barnaba ne dwaro mondo Johana miluongo ni Mariko odhi kodgi, to Paulo ne paro ni ne ok en gima ber mondo gidhi kode, nikech noseweyogi Pamfilia mi ok odhi kodgi nyime e tich. Wachni nokelo pogruok e kind Paulo gi Barnaba, mine gipogore. Barnaba nokawo Mariko mi gikwangʼ gidhi Saipras, to Paulo noyiero Sila gidhigo, ka owete oketogi e bwo ngʼwono mar Ruoth Nyasaye. Nowuotho e piny Siria gi Kilikia kojiwo kanisni.

Paulo nowuotho mochopo Derbe gi Lustra, kama japuonjre moro nodakie miluongo ni Timotheo. Min Timotheo ne ja-Yahudi moyie kuom Yesu, to wuon-gi ne ja-Yunani. Owete man Lustra gi Ikonio ne wuoyo maber kuom Timotheo. Paulo ne dwaro kawe mondo dhi kode e wuodhe mar yalo Injili, omiyo ne otere nyangu, nikech jo-Yahudi mane odak kanyo nongʼeyo ni wuon-gi ne en ja-Yunani. Kane giwuotho e dala ka dala, neginyiso ji mondo oluw gima buch joote gi jodongo nongʼado Jerusalem. Omiyo kanisa nobedo motegno e yie, kendo kwan joma oyie kuom Kristo ne medore pile.
Paulo oneno fweny mar ja-Makedonia
Kaka Roho Maler nosegengʼogi ni kik giyal Injili e piny Asia, Paulo gi lange nowuotho e gwengʼ Frugia gi Galatia. Kane gichopo e tongʼ piny Musia, ne gitemo mondo gidonj e piny Bithinia, to Roho mar Yesu ne ok oyienigi timo mano. Omiyo negidhi nyaka Troa, ka giluwo Musia. Otienono, Paulo noneno fweny mar ja-Makedonia kochungʼ kendo saye niya, “Bi loka Makedonia mondo ikonywa.” Bangʼ kane Paulo oseneno fwenyno, ne waikore piyo piyo mondo wadhi e piny Makedonia, nikech ne wangʼeyo ni Nyasaye dwarowa loka kono mondo wayalnegi Injili.

Achiel kuom joma nochiko itgi mowinjowa kwaloso ne en dhako moro moa Thuatira, ma nyinge Ludia, mane loko lewni makwar ma nengogi tek kendo noluoro Nyasaye. Ruoth noyawo chunye mondo orwak puonj Paulo. Bangʼ kane osebatise, en kaachiel gi joode duto, norwakowa e ode kowacho niya, “Ka ukwana kaka ngʼat moyie kuom Ruoth Yesu, to biuru mondo ubed wenda.” Nomedo sayowa kamano mine wadhi!

Kinde ka kinde ne oluwo bangʼ Paulo kod wan bende, kokok niya, “Jogi gin jotich Ruoth Nyasaye man Malo Moloyo, kendo ginyisou yor yudo warruok.” Notimo kamano kuom ndalo mogwarore, to achien Paulo nosin kode, mi nolokore ochiko jachiendno niya, “Achiki e nying Yesu Kristo ni aa kuome!” Jachiendno noa kuom nyakono mana gisano.
Kane ruodhi mag nyako ma jatichno oneno kaka ohandgi mane giyudogo pesa orumo, negimako Paulo gi Sila mi giywayogi oko nyaka chuny chiro mondo jotelo oyalgi. Negiterogi e nyim jongʼad bura, mi giwacho niya, “Jogi gin jo-Yahudi, to gisekelo koko e dalawa-ka, ka gipuonjo ji mondo oluw timbe magalagala ma chikwa odagi mondo wan jo-Rumi wayiego kata waluw.”
Ji mane ni kanyo duto nonywako ni Paulo gi Sila ka gidonjonegi, omiyo jongʼad bura nochiko mondo olony lepgi mondo ochwadgi. Kane osechwadgi marach, norwakgi e od twech mi omi jarit od twech chik mondo oritgi motegno. Jarit od twech nokawo chikno matek mi noketogi ei od twech maiye, kotweyo tiendegi e kind lodi mag yien.

Gikanyono dhoudi duto mag od twech noyawore kendgi, mi nyoroche mane otwego jotwech nogonyore duto. Ka jarit od twech nochiewo monwangʼo ka dhout od twech duto oyawore, nowuodho liganglane mondo onegrego, koparo ni joma otwe duto noseringo otony. To Paulo nokok matek kawacho niya, “Kik ihinyri!

Negidwoke niya, “Yie kuom Ruoth Yesu eka nikwo, in kaachiel gi joodi.” Eka ne gipuonje Wach Ruoth, kod ji duto mane ni e ode.

To Paulo nowachone askechego niya, “Ne gichwadowa e lela ka ok gikwongo giyalowa, mi giterowa e od twech kata obedo ni wan jo-Rumi. To koro sani gidwaro golowa e od twech nangʼo lingʼ-lingʼ? Ooyo, gibi abiya mondo gin giwegi ema gigolwa.”

Kane gisekalo Amfipoli gi Apolonia, ne gitundo Thesalonika, kuma ne nitie sinagogi moro mar jo-Yahudi.

Kane piny oimore, jowete nooro Paulo gi Sila Berea. Kane gichopo, negidonjo e sinagogi mar jo-Yahudi.

Kane Paulo pod rito Sila gi Timotheo Athene, chunye nosin kane oneno kaka jo-dalano noketo chunygi kuom lamo kido mag nyiseche manono. Omiyo nowuoyo kod jo-Yahudi gi jo-Yunani moluoro Nyasaye e sinagogi. Bende pile pile nowuoyo gi ji mane budho e chiro e dalano. Jorieko moko mag Epikurio kod Stoiko nochako mino kode wach. Moko kuomgi nopenjo niya, “Angʼo ma jawach thoreni temo wacho?” To moko nowacho niya, “Chal ka gima oyalo kuom nyiseche moko ma welo.” Negiwacho kamano nikech Paulo ne yalo kuom Yesu kendo kuom chier. Eka ne gikawe mi gidhi kode kar romo margi miluongo ni Areopago, bangʼe gipenje niya, “Donge dinyiswae tiend puonj manyien mikelo kaeni? Isako itwa gi puonj manyien mapok wawinjo, omiyo wadwaro ngʼeyo tiendgi.” (Jo-Athene duto kod jopinje mamoko mane odak kanyo nohero ketho sechegi kanyo ka gigoyo mbaka kendo giwinjo paro gi rieko manyien.)
Eka Paulo nochungʼ e nyim chokruok mane ni ei Areopago mochako wuoyo kowacho niya, “Un jo-Athene, ayudo ni un joma ohero lemo e ngimau duto. Nikech kane awuotho kalworora ka anono malongʼo kuondeu mag lemo, to ne ayudo nyaka kendo mar misango mondikie niya,
‘Ne nyasaye ma ok ongʼe’.
Koro gima ulamo kaka gima ok ongʼe ema adwaro yalonu.
“Nyasaye mane ochweyo piny kaachiel gi gik moko duto manie iye en Ruodh polo gi piny, kendo ok odak ei hekalu ma oger gi lwet dhano, bende ok tine gi lwet dhano ka gima odwaro gimoro kuom dhano nikech en owuon ema ochiwo ne dhano, ngima gi muya mi yweyo kod gik moko duto.

“Ka wan koth Nyasaye kamano, to koro ok onego wapar ni Nyasaye chalo gi dhahabu kata gi fedha kata kidi, ma gin mana kido ma dhano oloso kendo oketo gi pache.

Kane jogo owinjo ka Paulo wuoyo kuom wach chier aa kuom joma otho, moko kuomgi nojare, to moko to nowachone niya, “Wabiro dwaro mondo iwuo kodwa kendo e wachni.” Eka Paulo nowuok moweyo joburago. Ji moko manok nodok kor Paulo, mi giyie kuom Kristo. Achiel kuom joma noyie ne en Dionusio, mane en jabuch Areopago, gi dhako moro ma nyinge Damaris, kod ji mamoko manok.
Paulo ochopo Korintho
Bangʼ mano, Paulo noa Athene modhi Korintho. Kuno nonwangʼo ja-Yahudi moro mane onywol Ponto miluongo ni Akula. Ngʼatno noyudo odar oa Italia gi chiege Priskila, nikech ruoth Klaudio nosegolo chik mondo jo-Yahudi duto odar oa Rumi. Paulo nodhi limogi, mi odak kodgi kendo tiyo kodgi nikech en bende ne en jatwangʼ hema mana kaka gin. To Sabato ka Sabato, ne opuonjo ji e sinagogi, kotemo loko jo-Yahudi gi jo-Yunani.
Kane Sila gi Timotheo obiro koa Makedonia, Paulo nochiwore ni tich mar lando Injili kende ma ok oriwo gi gimachielo; kotimo neno ne jo-Yahudi ni Yesu e Kristo. To ka jo-Yahudi nodagi wachne mi ochako yanye, Paulo notengʼonigi lepe kosiemogi niya, “Rembu mondo odongʼ ewiu uwegi! An asetimo tichna kaka dwarore. Chakre kawuono abiro dhi lando Injili ne joma ok jo-Yahudi.”
Eka Paulo noa e sinagogi modhi e ot moro mane okiewo machiegni gi sinagogi. Wuon odno ne iluongo ni Titio Justo, kendo ne en ngʼat moluoro Nyasaye. To Krispo, mane en jatend sinagogi, kod joode duto, noyie kuom Ruoth kendo jo-Korintho mamoko mangʼeny bende nowinjo Paulo moyie kendo obatisi.
Otieno moro Ruoth Nyasaye nowuoyo gi Paulo e yor fweny kawachone niya, “Kik iluor. Dhi adhiya nyime gi wuoyo ma ok ilingʼ. An kodi, kendo onge ngʼato mabiro buki mi hinyi, nikech an gi ji mangʼeny e dalani.” Kuom mano, Paulo nodak kuno kuom higa achiel gi nus, kopuonjo ji wach Nyasaye.
Kane oyudo Galio en ruodh Akaya, jo-Yahudi noriwo ni Paulo mi negimake gitere e od bura, kendo gidonjone kagiwacho niya, “Ngʼatni loko ji mondo olam Nyasaye e yo ma chik ok oyie.”
To kane oyudo Paulo dwaro wuoyo, Galio nowacho ni jo-Yahudi niya, “Dine bedi ni ywaku ni kuom wach ketho chik kata tim achach ma ngʼatni osetimo, to dine awinjou. To kaka chandruoku otenore gi weche gi nyinge kod chikeu uwegi, koro unyalo loso wecheugo kendu. Adagi bedo jangʼad bura e weche ma kamago.” Bangʼ mano noriembogi gia e od bura. Eka jo-Yunani duto nochako toyo mirimbgi kuom Sosthene, jaduongʼ sinagogi, mi gichako goye e nyim jobura; kendo Galio ne ok odewogi kata matin.

Paulo noweyo jowete e dala mar Korintho, kendo nokwangʼ kodhi Siria ka gin kaachiel gi Priskila kod Akula. Kane pok giwuok, ne oliel wi Paulo Kenkrea, nikech singruok moro mane osetimo. Kane gichopo Efeso, Paulo noweyo Priskila gi Akula. Nodonjo e sinagogi ka en kende en owuon ei sinagogi mi owuoyo kod jo-Yahudi mane ni kanyo. Jo-Yahudigo nokwaye mondo omed bedo kodgi kanyo to notamore. To kane oweyogi mondo odhi, nowachonegi niya, “Ka en dwaro mar Nyasaye, to abiro duogo.” Bangʼe nokwangʼ oa Efeso. Kane ogowo Kaisaria, nodhi mi omoso kanisa, eka bangʼe nodhi Antiokia.
Kane osebedo Antiokia kuom ndalo mogwarore, Paulo nowuok oa kanyo, mi nowuotho e gwenge duto mag piny Galatia gi Frugia, kojiwo jopuonjre duto.
E kindeno ja-Yahudi moro monywol Aleksandria, ma nyinge Apolo, nobiro Efeso. Ne en gi ngʼeyo matut e puonj mag Muma. Ne osepuonje kuom yor Ruoth, kendo nopuonjo wach Yesu koketo chunye, kata obedo ni nongʼeyo mana batiso mar Johana kende.

Paulo odhi Efeso
Kane Apolo ni Korintho, Paulo nowuotho e gwenge mamalo, nyaka nochopo Efeso. Kuno noyude jopuonjre moko, mi openjogi niya, “Bende ne uyudo Roho Maler chiengʼ mane uyie kuom Yesu?”
Negidwoke niya, “Ooyo, kata mana winjo pok wawinjo ni nitie gimoro ni Roho Maler.”
Paulo nomedo penjogi niya, “Ka kamano, to kare batiso mane mane uyudo?”
Negidwoke niya, “Ne wayudo batiso mar Johana.”
Paulo nowachonegi niya, “Batiso mar Johana ne en mar lokruok weyo richo. Nonyiso ji mondo oyie kuom Jal mane biro bangʼe, ma en Yesu.” Bangʼ winjo mano, nobatisgi e nying Ruoth Yesu. Kane Paulo oketo lwete kuomgi, Roho Maler nolor kuomgi, mine giwuoyo gi dhok mayoreyore kendo ne gikoro wach. Kar romb jogo ne gin chwo apar gariyo.
Paulo nodonjo e sinagogi mi opuonjo ji gi chir kuom dweche adek. Notemo wuoyo kodgi konyisogi adiera man kuom pinyruodh Nyasaye. To jomoko kuomgi chunygi nodoko matek, ne gidagi yie kendo negichako wuoyo marach kuom jo-Kristo e lela. Omiyo Paulo noweyogi, mi okawo jopuonjre odhigo e od puonjruok mar ngʼat ma nyinge Turano, kuma ne gitwakie pile. Paulo notimo mano kuom higni ariyo, mi jo-Yahudi duto gi jo-Yunani manodak e piny Asia nowinjo wach Ruoth.

To jo-Yahudi moko mane wuotho koni gi koni kagolo jochiende notemo tiyo gi nying Ruoth Yesu mondo giriemb jochiende kuom ji. Ne gitemo wacho niya, “E nying Yesu ma Paulo yalo, wachiki mondo iwuog oko!” To jadolo maduongʼ moro mar jo-Yahudi miluongo ni Sekewa ne nigi yawuowi abiriyo mane timo kamano. To chiengʼ moro achiel jachien nodwokogi niya, “Yesu to angʼeyo, kendo Paulo bende angʼeyo, to un, to un ngʼa gini?” Eka ngʼat mane nigi jachien-no nopor kuomgi mohewogi duto. Nogoyogi marach mi giringo gia e odno ka gin duge kendo dendgi chwer remo.
Ka jo-Yahudi gi jo-Yunani mane odak Efeso nowinjo wachno luoro nomakogi, kendo nying Ruoth Yesu noyudo duongʼ. Ji mangʼeny mane oyie kuom Yesu nobiro mohulo richogi e lela.

To koro uneno kendo uwinjo kaka ngʼat miluongo ni Pauloni oseloko ji mathoth Efeso-ka, nyaka e piny Asia duto. Owacho ni nyiseche ma dhano oloso ok gin nyiseche mar adier.

Kane giwinjo wachno, mirima nomakogi mi gichako goyo koko kagiwacho niya, “Artemis mar jo-Efeso duongʼ!” Koko nolandore e dala duto kendo negimako Gayo gi Aristarko ma jo-Makedonia mane jowuodh Paulo kendo ne gimwomore kuomgi ka gichiko pawgi mar tugo.

Oter Paulo e nyim Agripa

Eka Festo nogolo chik mondo okel Paulo e nyimgi, mi nokele. Bangʼe Festo nowacho niya, “Ruoth Agripa kaachiel gi ji duto man kodwa ka, uneno ngʼatni! Jo-Yahudi duto osekwaya chakre Jerusalem nyaka Kaisaria ka gikok ni ok owinjore oweye obed mangima. An to ne ayudo kaonge gima osetimo mowinjore githo, to nikech odwaro mondo Kaisar ema oyale, asengʼado mondo otere Rumi. To kata kamano, aonge gi wach malongʼo ma anyalo ndiko ni Agripa kuome.

Eka Agripa nowachone Paulo niya, “In thuolo mondo iwuo kuomi iwuon.”
Eka Paulo notingʼo bade malo bangʼe ochako wuoyo kowacho niya, “Akwanora kaka ngʼat mogwedhi, Ruoth Agripa, kuom yudo thuolo mar chungʼ e nyimi kawuono, mondo awuo kuom weche duto ma jo-Yahudi osedonjonago.

Ne wapodho piny waduto, eka ne awinjo dwol moro kawuoyo koda gi dho jo-Hibrania ni, ‘Saulo, Saulo, isanda nangʼo? Riwi mabith migweyono biro mana hinyi in iwuon.’
“Eka napenjo ni, ‘In ngʼa, Ruoth?’
“Ruoth to nodwoka ni, ‘An e Yesu misando. To koro aa malo ichungʼ gi tiendi. Asefwenyorani mondo awali kaka jatich kendo janeno kuom gik miseneno kuoma kendo kuom gik mamoko ma abiro nyisi.

Kane Paulo dhi nyime gi wuoyo kamano, Festo nokok matek niya, “Wiyi okethore, Paulo! Somo misomo mangʼeny oseloki janeko!”
To Paulo nodwoke niya, “Ok an janeko, Ruoth Festo. Gima awacho en adier kendo winjore maber. Kata Ruoth Agripa ongʼeyo wechegi maler, omiyo anyalo wuoyo kode gi chir.

Eka Agripa nowacho ni Paulo niya, “Iparo ni e sa machwokni inyalo loka abed ja-Kristo?”
Paulo nodwoke niya, “Kata obed sa machwok kata malach, to alamo Nyasaye ok mana ne in kende, to nyaka ni ji duto mawinjo wachna kawuono, mondo gichal koda, makmana nyoroche motweyagogi ema kik tweugo un bende.”

Bangʼe Agripa nowacho ni Festo niya, “Ngʼatni dine wagonyo thuolo ka dine bed ni pok okwayo mondo otere e nyim Kaisar.”

Kane ji koro oseriyo kech kuom ndalo mangʼeny, Paulo nochungʼ malo e nyimgi mowachonegi niya, “Jowadwa ka dine uwinj wachna ma wawe kwangʼ ka waa Krete, to dine utony mi ok uneno chandruok gi lal maduongʼ ma kama.

Kane wasechopo e lowo motwo ka wangima, ne wayudo ni chulano iluongo ni Malta. Joma nodak e chulano norwakowa duto gi ngʼwono mathoth, mi gimokonwa mach mondo wao, nikech koth ne chue kendo piny ne ngʼich. Paulo nodondo yien moko mokelo mondo omedi e mach, to kane oyudo oketo yien-go e mach, thuol moro ne liet mar mach ogolo momoko e lwete. Kane jo-chulano oneno ka thuol oliero e lwet Paulo, ne giwuoyo kendgi kagiwacho niya, “Ngʼatni nyaka bed ni en janek, mano emomiyo kata obedo ni osetony e nam, to bura mar tho mongʼadne pod luwe.” To Paulo notengʼo thuondno oko molwar e mach, kendo onge gima notime. Jogo ne geno ni lwete biro kuot, kata ni nobiro gore piny apoya mi otho, to negirito gamingʼa mi ok gineno gima otime. Eka negiloko pachgi mi giwacho ni Paulo en nyasaye.
But kama newantiereno ne nitie puothe madongo mag ruodh chulano miluongo ni Publio. Ruodhno norwakowa, moritowa maber kaka wende kuom ndalo adek. To wuon-gi nonindo e kitanda nikech notuo, ka en gi midhusi, kendo nodiewo. Paulo nodonjo kama noninde mondo onene, to bangʼ koselamone, noketo lwete kuome mochange.

Paulo oyalo Injili Rumi
Bangʼ bedo Rumi kuom ndalo adek, Paulo noluongo jotend jo-Yahudi mane odak kanyo. To kane gisechokore, nowachonegi niya, “Owetena, kata obedo ni ok asetimo gimoro marach ni jo-Yahudi kata ne timbe machon mag kwerewa, to nomaka Jerusalem moketa e lwet jo-Rumi. To Bangʼ yala, negidwaro weya, nikech negiyudo ni aonge gi ketho mowinjore gi tho.

Negidwoke niya, “Wan pok wayudo baruwa moro amora moa Judea ma wuoyo kuomi, kendo kata mana owete manyocha oa kuno machiegni pok okelonwa wach moro, kata wacho pok giwachonwa gimoro misetimo marach. Kata kamano, wadwaro winjo paroni, nikech wangʼeyo ni ji wuoyo kuom kanyakla marach kuonde duto.”
Negichano mondo girom gi Paulo odiechiengʼ moro achiel, kendo ji koro ne medo biro mangʼeny ir Paulo kama nodakie. Chakre okinyi nyaka odhiambo, noleronigi tiend wach pinyruoth Nyasaye. Notimo kamano kotemo loko paro mane gin-go kuom Yesu, kokonyore gi weche mondiki e Chik Musa kod jonabi. Moko kuomgi norwako wechene, to moko notamore yie. Ne gipogore e kindgi giwegi mi gichako wuok ka Paulo nowachonegi weche mogik niya, “Roho Maler nowacho adier ni kwereu, kane owuoyo gi dho Isaya janabi, kowacho kama:

Paulo notieko kawachonegi niya, “Emomiyo adwaro ni ungʼe ni warruok mar Nyasaye osechopo ni joma ok jo-Yahudi, kendo gibiro rwake!” [Bangʼ wacho mano, jo-Yahudi mane winje nowuok odhi, ka gigoyo mbaka matek e kindgi giwegi.]28:29 Loko moko machon mag Muma onge gi [Joo 28:29].
Kuom higni ariyo, Paulo nodak e ode owuon mochulo, kendo norwako ji duto mane obiro ire mondo onene. Noyalo kuom pinyruoth Nyasaye gichir ma ok ngʼato ogengʼe, kopuonjo ji kuom Ruoth Yesu Kristo.
