20 Osheshi oto popi oinima inatu i uda nale, notwa hala okushiiva kutya otai ti ngahelipi.”

23 Pashihopaenenwa, eshi nda enda moshilando nonda konenena eenhele deni diyapuki,* onda mona mo oaltari i na eshangelo tali ti, ‘OyaKalunga ehe shiivike.’ Onghee ohandi mu udifile kombinga yaKalunga ou hamu longele ndele kamu mu shii.
24 Kalunga ou a shita eulu nedu nakeshe eshi shi li mo iha kala meetembeli da tungwa nomake molwaashi oye mwene weulu nedu.
25 Iha kwafelwa kovanhu nomake a fa ngeno e na eshi a pumbwa, molwaashi ovanhu aveshe oye e va pa omwenyo nomufudo nakeshe shimwe.
26 Okwa shita oiwana aishe okudja momunhu umwe opo i lihanene kombada yedu alishe, nokwa tulila po ovanhu omaufwafimbo neengaba dokukala kwavo,
27 va dule okukonga Kalunga va mana mo fiyo otave mu mono, osheshi ke li kokule nakeshe umwe womufye.
28 Otu na omwenyo, hatu linyenge notu li po omolwaye, ngaashi ovashangi veni voitevo vamwe va tile, ‘Nafye yo oludalo* laye.’
29 “Ndele molwaashi fye oludalo* laKalunga, inatu diladila kutya Kalunga okwa fa oshingoli, oshisilveri ile emanya ile oshinima keshe sha hongwa nosha etwa po kovanhu.
30 Kalunga okwa kala te lididimikile ovanhu eshi va li vehe mu shii, ndele paife ote va shiivifile keshe pamwe kutya nave lidilulule,

33 Opo nee Paulus okwa dja po puvo,
34 novalumenhu vamwe ove mu shikula nova ninga ovaitaveli. Mokati kavo omwa li Dionisius, oo a li oshilyo shomhangu yOareopagi, nosho yo omukainhu wedina Damaris, navamwe vali.
