22 Co batwaleleleleho kumutolilila kweta naha hendekelele awa majwi, co batambekele ngwabo: “Munu wa cifweci mutundiseni hano hasi, mwafwa kapandele kuyoya!”
23 Ha kuwana ngwe bakele na kutambeka na kwashanga bizalo byabo na kushawila libu mu lihunzi,
24 mukulunu wa maswalale washikile ngwendi banene Paulu mu binjibo bya maswalale, co wendekele ngwendi bamwihozole oku bamupupa makote mangana azibuke bwino binalingisa banu batambeke ngoco hali Paulu.

26 Kapitau ka maswalale mwazibile ngoco, waile kuli mukulunu wa maswalale na kumuleka ngwendi: “Bika biushaka kulinga? Ou munalume napu Kaloma.”
27 Ngeci, mukulunu wa maswalale washwenene Paulu na kumwihula ngwendi: “Njileke, kuma u Kaloma ndi?” Paulu wamukumbulwile ngwendi: “Eyo.”
28 Uje mukulunu wa maswalale wakumbulwile ngwendi: “Yange njalandele lisesa lya kukala muno mu lifuti na bimbongo byabingi.” Paulu wendekele ngwendi: “Oloni yange lya kusemuka nalyo.”
29 Haje bene, baje banu bashakele kumwihozola na kumupupa, bamusezele. Co mukulunu wa maswalale wazibile lyoba mwanangukile ngwendi wakutile Paulu malyenge nameme wapwile Kaloma.
