¹Zvino zvakaitika kuti, Aporo achiri paKorinde, Pauro wakati agura nemativi ekumusoro, akasvika Efeso; akawana vamwe vadzidzi,

¹Zhi kai o Apollos sas ande Corinth, o Pavlo kana nakhlo anda sa le gava kai si ande Asia, areslo ando Ephesus, ai kotse arakhlia uni disiplon.

²akati kwavari: Makagamuchira Mweya Mutsvene kubva zvamakatenda here? vakati kwaari: Kwete, asi hatina kutongonzwa kuti kune Mweya Mutsvene.

²Ai phendia lenge, "Lian anda tumende O Swunto Duxo kana pachan tume?" Won phende leske, "Ame chi ashundiam ke si ek Swunto Duxo."

³Zvino akati kwavari: Ko makabhabhatidzwa mune zvipi? Vakati: Murubhabhatidzo rwaJohwani.

³Ai phendia lenge, "Anda savo bolimos tume sanas bolde?" Ai won phende leske, "Ando bolimos le Iovanosko."

⁴Zvino Pauro akati: Johwani zvirokwazvo wakabhabhatidza rubhabhatidzo rwekutendeuka, achiti kuvanhu vanofanira kutenda kuna iye unouya shure kwake, iye Kristu Jesu.

⁴Antunchi o Pavlo phendia, "O Iovano boldia kodolen kai mangenas te parhuven pengo traio, ai motholas le Zhidovonge te pachanpe ande kodo kai avela pala leste, kodo si O Kristo.

⁵Vakati vanzwa, vakabhabhatidzwa muzita raIshe Jesu,

⁵Pe kodola vorbi, bolde sas ando anav le Devlesko O Jesus.

⁶Zvino Pauro wakati aisa maoko pamusoro pavo, Mweya Mutsvene akauya pamusoro pavo, vakataura nendimi, vakaporofita.

⁶Kana o Pavlo thodia le vas pe lende, O Swunto Duxo avilo pe lende, ai denas duma andal kolaver shiba, ai mothonas so si te avel.

⁷Ivavo varume vose vainge gumi nevaviri.

⁷Won sas sa andek than desh u dui manush.

⁸Zvino wakapinda musinagoge, akataura akashinga kwemwedzi mitatu, achiparidza, achipwisa zveushe hwaMwari.

⁸Porme o Pavlo gelo ande synagogue, ai kotse dia duma bi darako trin shon, ai delas duma pal dieli le rhaioske kai si le Devlesko.

⁹Asi vamwe vakati vachiomesa moyo vasingatendi, vachitaura zvakaipa pamusoro penzira iyo pamberi pechaunga akabva kwavari, akatsaura vadzidzi, akaparidza zuva rimwe nerimwe muchikoro cheumwe Tairano.

⁹Numa uni lengo ilo zuralo sas, ai chi pachanaspe, ai mothonas chorhe dieli pa drom le Devlesko angla narodo. Antunchi o Pavlo gelotar lendar, ai lia le manushen kai pachanaspe ando Del pesa; ai sicharelas len pa Del swako dies andek shkola ieke manusheske kai busholas Tirannas.

¹⁰Izvozvi zvakaramba zvichiitwa kwemakore maviri, zvekuti vose vakange vagere paAsia vakanzwa shoko raIshe Jesu, vose vaJudha nevaGiriki.

²⁰Naizvozvo shoko raIshe rikakura nesimba rikakunda.

²⁰Ai E Vorba le Devleski zhalas katar godi ande putiera ai ande zor.

²¹Izvozvo zvakati zvapera, Pauro akazvipira mumweya kuenda kuJerusarema, kana ambogura nepaMakedhonia neAkaya, achiti: Kana ndaenda ikoko, ndinofanirawo kunoona Roma.

²⁶Zvino munoona nekunzwa kuti pasati pari paEfeso chete, asi panenge paAsia yose, Pauro uyu wakagombedzera nekutendesa chaunga, achiti: Zvakaitwa nemaoko havazi vamwari.

²⁶Ai dikhen ai ashunen, ke na ferdi ando Ephesus, numa pashte ande sa Asia, kado kai bushol Pavlo phendia le manushenge ai sikadia lenge ke le dela kai si kerde andal vas le manushenge nai dela.
