16. Ke kaloku kwathi, kwakubon' ukuba siyaya endaweni yokuthandaza, sahlangatyezwa sisicakazana esithile, sinomoya wemilozi; sona besizizuzisa iinkosi zaso inzuzo enkulu ngokuvumisa.
17. Sona eso sithene mbende noPawulos nathi, samana sidanduluka sisithi, Aba bantu bangabakhonzi bakaThixo Osenyangweni, bona basazisayo indlela yosindiso.
18. Oko ke sakwenza sona imihla emininzi. Ebindekile ke uPawulos, wathi guququ, wathi kuwo umoya, Ndiyakuthethela egameni likaYesu Kristu ukuba uphume kuso. Waphuma ke kwangelo lixa.
19. Ke kaloku, zakubona iinkosi zaso ukuba liphumile ithemba lenzuzo yazo, zababamba ooPawulos noSilas, zabarholela endaweni yembutho, kubaphathi:
20. zabazisa kubo abathetheli, zathi, Aba bantu bayawukhathaza kakhulu umzi wethu, bengamaYuda;
21. basifundisa amasiko ekungavumelekileyo ukuba siwamkele, nokuba siwenze, singamaRoma.
22. Isihlwele sabahlanganyela; nabathetheli bazithi qwengeqwenge iingubo zabo, bathi mababethwe ngeentswazi.
23. Bathi, bakuba bebabethe imivumbo emininzi, babaphosa entolongweni, bamthethela umgcini wababanjwa ukuba abagcine ngokunqabileyo;
24. owathi, amkele umyalelo onjalo, wabaphosa kwengaphakathi intolongo, waziqinisa iinyawo zabo emithini.
25. Ke kaloku, malunga phakathi kobusuku, ooPawulos noSilas babethandaza, bevuma elokudumisa uThixo; babephulaphula ke ababanjwa.
26. Kwabakho ke ngequbuliso unyikimo olukhulu lomhlaba, ngokokude zizanyazanyiswe iziseko zentolongo; zavuleka kwaoko iingcango zonke, athukululeka amakhamandela abo bonke.
27. Ethe tyithi ke ebuthongweni umgcini wababanjwa, ebona iingcango zentolongo zivulekile, warhola ikrele, eza kuzibulala, eba ababanjwa babalekile.
28. UPawulos wabiza ke ngezwi elikhulu wathi, Ungazenzakalisi; kuba sikho sonke apha.
29. Ebize ke izibane, watsiba phakathi, waza egubha, wawa phantsi phambi koPawulos noSilas.
