Ghamatendo 26:8-31

⁸Ebali mwakona ng'aidahika bae Imulungu kuwatsilihula iwanu iwafile?

⁹Nene imwenyegho tsambona nobamighwa nende ghose ighodahika ili kupinga taghwa lya Yesu wa Natsareti.

¹⁰Tsanenda apfo ako Yerusalemu, kwa ghamalaghitso ghe iwatambika wakulu tsaniwaghela mwigheletsa wahenzeluka wengi, na hawang'ali wokomighwa na nene tsaning'ali notoghola wakomighwe.

¹¹Ghamatsuwa mengi tsaning'ali nighendagha mne tsing'anda tse ukulombela na kuwatowa, kuya tsaniwananaitsa waleke kumtoghola Imulungu. Tsaning'ali niwehila ghendo, mbaka tsang'enda imiji ya kutali kuwadununza.

¹²“Litsuwa limwe tsaning'ali nighenda Damasko aku ning'ighwa uwetso na malaghitso ghe iwatambika wakulu.

¹³Mndewa wangu, nemisi haning'ali mnzila, mbona lumwesa kulawa kulanga lwong'ala kubita litsua, lunimwemwesela nene na wayangu chila ubali.

¹⁴Wose tsatughwa hasi, nene nihulika litsi lyonongela kwa Chihebraniya, ‘Sauli, Sauli! Ebali konidununza? Kwelagha hela ka ng'ombe yoitowa teke ng'weku ye imtwatsa wake.’

¹⁵Kuya nimghutsa, ‘Mtwatsa, ghweghwe nani?’ Mtwatsa kanyidika, ‘Nene na Yesu yumdununza.

¹⁶Sambi winuke wime. Nikulawila kwaapfila nikusaghula uwe imtumighwa na imkalangama wa agha ghaughonile, na ghanitsokulangusa.

¹⁷Nitsokukombola mne iwanu wako na iwanu iwali si Wayahudi ako kwanikutuma,

¹⁸uwafumbule nenge tsawo na kuwalapfa mchisi wengile hatselu, walawe mne ingupfu ya Setani, wamghalukile Imulungu, kwa kunitoghola nene, waleghusighwe nzambi na wahale hamwe na wose iwasaghulighwe ne Imulungu.’

¹⁹“Apfo Mndewa Agiripa, sighalemile bae maono agho gha kulanga.

²⁰Ila nyandusa kwa iwanu wa Damasko, kuya kwa awala iwali Yerusalemu na Yudeya yose, na kwa iwanu si Wayahudi bae. Niwapetela watsileke nzambi tsawo wamuyile Imulungu na walanguse kwa ghamatendo ghawo ka watsileka nzambi.

²¹Kwaapfila nenda apfi, Wayahudi wanighogha mne Ing'anda ye Imulungu, na tsawabama wang'ome.

²²Lekeni Imulungu kanyapfila, mbaka leloli nene nakwima hano kulapfa ukalangama kwe iwadodo ne iwabala. Silonga ichinu chingi bae, ila nowalongela aghala ghawalongile manabii we Imulungu na Musa ka ghang'alawile.

²³Ka Kiristu Mkombotsi tsakabamighwa yadununzike na ang'awile wa mwanduso kutsilihuka, apfo ang'adahile kughala ghumwanga kwa Wayahudi na kwa Iwanu si Wayahudi bae.”

²⁴Pauli hang'ali keyamila apfo, Festo kakemelela, “Pauli! Kuna lukwale! Kusoma ng'ani kwausomile kukughela lukwale.”

²⁵Pauli kedika, “Mkulu Festo, nene si mkalukwale bae, nolonga mbuli itsilongesa na tsa ihekima.

²⁶Mndewa Agiripa komanya ipfinu pfino pfose, na nene nodaha kulonga nae bila kupfuka kwaapfila nomanya kuduhu ichinu ichitendeke chinyelenyele.

²⁷Mndewa Agiripa, apfi kowatoghola manabii we Imulungu? Nomanya kowatoghola.”

²⁸Kuya Agiripa kamghutsa Pauli, “Apfi kopfikitsa kodaha kunenda niwe mkiristu kwa ichipindi chino chidodo?”

²⁹Pauli kamwidika, “Nomlomba Imulungu mne ichipindi chidodo au chikulu, si ghweghwe uliyeka bae, ila wose yamnitegheletsa leloli, mdahe kuwa ka pfanili nene, lekeni bila iminyororo ino.”

³⁰Kuya imndewa, imkulu we ghumkowa na Benike, hamwe na awala iwakalile nawo wose tsawenuka.

³¹Na hawang'ali wakuka welongela, “Imunu yuno ng'atendile ichinu ichimtenda yakomighwe wala ukwikighwa mwigheletsa.”
