13 Petulo kalubwenga ulwivi lwa kunze, na mndele yokemigwa Loda keza kumulola munhu yobwenga ulwivi.
14 Viyategeleze na kudihulika dizwi da Petulo, kadeng'ha ng'hani kakimbila kabweleganya bila kuvugula ulwivi na kuguta yolonga, “Petulo ka halwivi.”
15 Wamulongela, “Gweye kuna luwege.” Viyagendelele kugangamiza kamba kweli Petulo ka halwivi, walonga, “Siku kowa msenga wa Mulungu wa kuulanga yali hamoja nayo.”
16 Ila Petulo kagendelela kubwenga ulwivi, na viwavugule ulwivi na kumona heyo, wakanganya ng'hani.
17 Petulo kawahungila na mkono wake giladi wanyamale na kuwagondela avija Mndewa viyamulawilile kulawa mding'anda da kufungila wanhu, kalonga, “Mulongeleni mbuli zino Yakobo na wanhu wayagwe wamtogole Kilisto.” Abaho, kasegela kachola hanhu hayagwe.
18 Viivikile imitondo, kukala na mkomemkome mmwanza wa asikali, wolonga, “Kinhu chaki kimulawilile Petulo?”

Avo wamuyalalila Blasto, mkulu wa ng'anda da kindewa da Helode, wachole na heyo ha Helode Agilipa wa ichanduso kumgwila mavindi kwavija isi yao yopata mandia kulawa muisi ya Helode.
