25. Kodwa ngazo iintlanga ezikholiweyo, sabhala sagqiba kwelokuba zingabambi nto injalo; kuphela ibe kukuzigcina entweni ebingelelwe izithixo, nasegazini, nasentweni ekrwitshiweyo, nasembulweni.
26. Wandula uPawulos wawathabatha ke amadoda lawo, wathi ngengomso, ezenze nyulu kunye nawo, wangena etempileni, eqondisisa inzaliseko yeentsuku zokwenza nyulu, ude usondezwe umnikelo ngenxa yabo bonke ngabanye.
27. Ke kaloku, xa iintsuku ezisixhenxe ezo beziza kuphela, athi amaYuda avela kwelaseAsiya, akumbona etempileni, asidubaduba sonke isihlwele, amsa izandla, enkqangaza esithi,
28. Madoda, maSirayeli, sizani. Nanku lo mntu ufundisa bonke ezindaweni zonke okuchasene nabantu, nomthetho, nale ndawo; othe ngaphezu koko wawangenisa amaGrike etempileni, wayenza inqambi le ndawo ingcwele.
29. Kuba abebone ngeenxa engaphambili uTrofimo wase-Efese, ndawonye naye phakathi komzi; abeba uPawulos umngenise etempileni.
30. Washukuma umzi uphela, babalekela ndawonye abantu; bamthabatha uPawulos, bamrholela ngaphandle kwetempile; zavalwa kwaoko iingcango.
31. Ke kaloku, xa babeza kumbulala, lwafika udaba kumthetheli-waka webutho, lokuba iYerusalem iphela idubadubekile;
32. owathi kwangelo lixa wathabatha amasoldati nabathetheli-khulu, wabaleka, wehla waya kubo. Bakumbona ke umthetheli-waka namasoldati, bayeka ukumbetha uPawulos.
33. Waza wasondela umthetheli-waka, wambamba, wathi makakhonkxwe ngemixokelelwane emibini; wayebuza ukuba angaba ungubani na, nokuthi wenze ntoni na.
