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.
