Ndele ye okwe va fatululila ndele te va hepaululile ouhamba waKalunga, ndele te va longo okuhovela ongula fiyo onguloshi, nokwa hetekela oku va tomhifa omhango yaMoses novaxunganeki, va koneke Jesus. 24 Vamwe ova tomhwa keendjovo daye, ndelenee vamwe ova anya okwiitavela. 25 Opo nee vo eshi vaha li kumwe, ove lihana Paulus eshi a popya ondjovo ei nokutya: “Oda yuka odo Omhepo Iyapuki ya tongifa okanya komuxunganeki Jesaja, eshi a lombwela ooxo, 26 ndele ta ti:

27 Osheshi omitima doshiwana eshi da kukuta,

Nowo tji va wongara a tja ku wo: “Vaisrael ovakwetu, nangarire kutja hi na tji mba tjita kotjiwaṋa tjetu na kotuzo twootate mukururume, ami mba rira omupandekwa mOjerusalem ne yandjewa kOvaroma. 18 Nu Ovaroma tji va za nokundjipura, va vanga okundjikutura tjinga ava muna kutja hi tjitire otjiṋa pu mba pwire okuṱa. 19 Nungwari Ovajuda tji va kuramena otjiṋa hi momurungu, ami mba ṋiṋikiziwa okukurama komurungu wombara ya Roma, nu nao e he ri kutja me vanga okurondora otjiwaṋa tjetu oveni. 20 Opu mba ningirira okumumuna nokuhungira na eṋe.

21 Owo va tjere ku ye: “Eṱe katuya muna otutuu okuza kehi ra Judea tu matu hungire ove, nu wina kape nomundu umwe wetu ngwa zira ngo nombuze poo notjiṋa otjivi okuhungira ove. 22 Nungwari eṱe matu vanga okuzuva ouripura woye, tjinga amatu tjiwa kutja ovandu akuhe ve temangura otjira hi ove mu u ri.”
23 Owo opu va zikamisira eyuva puna Paulus, nu meyuva ndo otjimbumba otjinene tjovandu atji ya ngwi Paulus ka ri. Okuza komuhuka nga kongurova eye we ve handjaurira ombuze youhona wa Ndjambi na roro okuvetanaurira ku Jesus ama tamuna omambo mOmatwako wa Moses na momatjangwa wovaprofete. 24 Tjiva vawo va kambura momambo we, nungwari tjiva kave kamburire ko. 25 Nowo arire tji va i ave hi nokuzuvasana oveni, indu Paulus tja za nokuhungira embo rimwe ndi: “Tjiri, Ombepo Ondjapuke ya hungira nawa notjinyo tjomuprofete Jesaja kooiho mukururume, 26 indu tja tjere:

28 Nu Paulus wa yandisa omambo we ama tja: “Nambano mamu sokutjiwa kutja ombuze ya Ndjambi yondjamo ya hindwa ku imba mbe he ri Ovajuda, nowo mave i puratene!”
30 Oure wozombura mbari Paulus wa turire poṋa pa yazemene, nu wina poṋa mbo opuya yakurire ovandu avehe mbaa ve ya okumuvarura. 31 Eye wa zuvarisire ouhona wa Ndjambi na hongo avihe mbya tjamene na Muhona Jesus Kristus ama hungire nouvanḓe nouyara auhe.
