31Akulu ena a Boma a ku Asiya komweko, amene anali abwenzi ake, adamtumiranso mau omupempha kuti asaloŵe dala m'bwalo lamaseŵeralo.

32Msonkhano wonse wa anthu aja udangoti pwirikiti: ena akufuula zina, enanso zina; ambiri osadziŵa ndi chimene asonkhanira chomwe.

33Ena m'khamumo adaaganiza kuti Aleksandro alipo ndi chonena, ataona kuti Ayuda amkankhira kutsogolo. Tsono iye adakweza dzanja kuti aŵakhalitse chete, kuti afotokozere anthu mlanduwo.

34Koma pamene anthu aja adazindikira kuti iyeyo ndi Myuda, onsewo adafuula pamodzi pa maola aŵiri kuti, “Ndi wamkulu Aritemi wa Aefeso!”

35Mlembi wa mzindawo ataŵatontholetsa anthu aja, adaŵauza kuti, “Inu Aefeso, ndani amene sadziŵa kuti mzinda wa Aefeso ndiwo wosunga nyumba yopembedzeramo Aritemi wamkulu, ndiponso wosunga mwala wopatulika uja umene udachita kugwa kuchokera kumwamba?

36Tsono popeza kuti palibe amene angatsutse zimenezi, inu muyenera kukhala chete, osachita zinthu mopupuluma.

37Inu mwabwera ndi anthu aŵa kuno, ngakhale iwo sadabe za m'nyumba ya mulungu wathu wamkazi, kapena kumchita chipongwe.

38Ngati Demetrio ndi amisiri anzake ali ndi kanthu ndi munthu wina, mabwalo amilandu alipo, oweruza aliponso. Akakambirane milandu yao komweko.

39Koma ngati mukufunanso kanthu kena, kameneko msonkhano waulamuliro wa anthu onse ndiwo ukatsirize.

40Pakuti pali choopsa chakuti tingathe kuimbidwa mlandu wochita chipolowe chifukwa cha zimene zachitika lerozi. Palibe chifukwa chilichonse cha chipolowechi, ndipo tikasoŵa ponena akatifunsa.”
