8 Icyo gihe Imana yari yarahaye Sitefano umugisha n’imbaraga zayo, kandi yakoraga ibitangaza n’ibimenyetso bikomeye.

3 Nuko Pawulo na Barinaba bamara igihe kinini bavugana ubutwari, kubera ko Yehova* yari yabahaye imbaraga zo kubwiriza. Bavugaga ibyerekeye ineza ihebuje* y’Imana kandi Imana yari yarabahaye ubushobozi bwo gukora ibimenyetso n’ibitangaza.+

12 Abari aho bose babyumvise baraceceka, batega amatwi Barinaba na Pawulo mu gihe bababwiraga ibimenyetso byinshi n’ibitangaza Imana yakoreye mu banyamahanga ibibanyujijeho.

18 Sinzavuga ibirebana n’ibintu njye ubwanjye nakoze, ahubwo nzajya mvuga ibyo Kristo yakoze binyuze kuri njye, kugira ngo abantu bo mu bindi bihugu bumvire biturutse ku magambo yanjye n’ibikorwa byanjye. 19 Abo bantu bumviye bitewe n’ibimenyetso bikomeye ndetse n’ibitangaza+ Imana yakoze ikoresheje umwuka wera. Ni yo mpamvu nabwirije ubutumwa bwiza bwerekeye Kristo mbyitondeye, uhereye i Yerusalemu kugera no mu karere kose ka Iluriko.+

12 Nagaragaje ko ndi intumwa, binyuze ku kwihangana,+ ku bimenyetso, ku bitangaza ndetse no ku mirimo ikomeye nakoreye muri mwe.+
