1“Wahaza na wang'holozangu, mnyhulichize ng'hatu londichigombela hali hemwe!”
2Lowahuliche yolonga na hewo kwa Chieblaniya wekala tulu ng'hatu kusinda aho mwaluko. Na heye Paoli kazangulonga.
3“Heni nda Myahudi, mlelwa wa Talso ako Kilikiya. Ila nang'hulila hali muji wuwu, hali ulanguso wa Gamalieli, nandanguswa kwa malajizo gatanganiche ga wahaza wa hetwe. Nandilavya kwa nhumbula yeng'ha kwa Nguluwi kota hemwe mwemwe vyomuli ahi lehano.
4Nandiwagaza na kuwakopola wala wanhu wali wowinza nzila ayi. Nandiwabata walume na wadala na kuwahindila mchinweng'ho.”
5Mtambika mkulu na watagusa weng'ha wa wasekulu wanguvumila mbuli ayi. Kulawa kwa hewo nambochela gowandichilwe wala wanhu Wayahudi wali ako Damasiko. Nanduta Damasiko leka ndiwabate awo wanhu walingumkunda Kilistu na kuwagala wawohigwe mbaka Yelusalemu ndilapa watowigwe.
6“Lelo londali mnzila behi kufika Damasiko, nayali saa sita nemisi, lumuli lukulu kulawa kilanga lulawila lumwemwesa nzingo zeng'ha.
7Aho nanyigwa hasi, nyhulika lizi lindonjela, ‘Saulo, Saulo! Lekachoni kwangungaza?’
8Heni mbuza, ‘Kwa whaani hegwe, Mkulu?’ Na heye nakandonjela, ‘Heni nda Yesu wa Nasaleti yula hegwe ulingumgaza.’
9Wala wayangu nawalona lula lumuli, ila nahawahuliche lizi lya yula yalonjile na heni.
10Ndilawa heni mbuza, ‘Ndite ndaze Mkulu?’ Na heye Mkulu nakandonjela, ‘Wime, lute Damasiko na ako kolonjelwa geng'ha gala gouganigwa kudita.’
11Kwa lumwemwesa lula lukali sali ndilola, ahyo naiwagana wala wayangu waze kundongoza kwa kimbata moko mbaka fika Damasiko.
12“Ako nakwali na munhu yumwe yalinguchemigwa Ananiya, munhu muwinza Nguluwi, yalinguhulika malajizo ga Musa na yatanganiche ng'hatu hali Wayahudi nawali wochikala Damasiko.
13Heye nakoya kundola, kema behi na heni, nakalonga, ‘Mng'holozangu Saulo! Lole kahi.’ Baho du kahi ndizangulola, nandimlola.
14Hamba Ananiya nakalonga, ‘Nguluwi wa wasekulu wa hetwe kakuhagula leka uvizele goyalingugana na kumona yula yatanganiche na kumhulika yuye yolonga kulawila hamlomo hake.
15Mina konditila ulolezi kwa wanhu weng'ha uwalonjela gala gougawene na kugahulika.
16Lelo ya choni kukawila ng'hatu? Wime, ubatizigwe na kusilwa gehile ga hegwe kwa kulichema itagwa lya heye.’
17“Lelo nanyhiluka Yelusalemu, nalondali ndilanda mli ng'handa ya Nguluwi, nambona ulotezi.
18Nandimona Mkulu yondonjela, ‘Hima! Uche Yelusalemu himahima mina wanhu wa hano howoukunda ulolezi wa hegwe kwa mbuli ya heni.’
19Heni nanyidichila, ‘Mkulu, hewo wavizela kuta heni ndo yula yaliyokola mli ng'handa za kusalila nyinji za Wayahudi na kuwebata na kuwatowa wala wali ngukukunda.
20Na kuta mhela mlolezi wa hegwe Stefani loyakopoligwe, heni aha ndali hala, nang'hunda acho chikoleche na kwamila mikoti ja wala wali womkoma.’
21Heye Mkulu nakandonjela, ‘Lute, ndokulajiza kutali kwa wanhu hawawele Wayahudi.’ ”
22Mbaka aha, wala wanhu wali womuhulichiza, ila loyalonjile ulonzi awo, nawaluka kubwamuka, “Mkopoleni! Munhu nayali ahyo hambe yaganigwe kikala muisi.”
23Wazanguluta wohabuka habuka kuno wotigasa mikoti jawo na kutoza nhimbwisi milanga.
24Mkulu wa wamizi nakawalajiza wanhu wa heye wamgale Paoli mli ngome. Nakawalonjela wamtowe ng'hobwa leka wamuuze na wavizele chambuze Wayahudi kutowa iyowe.
25Ila lowamuwohile wogana wamtowe ng'hobwa, Paoli kamuuza mkulu wa wamizi yumwe nayali yemile aho, “Lelo malajizo ganguwakundiza hemwe kumtowa ng'hobwa munhu wa Loma yang'hali tagusigwa?”
26Yula mkulu wa wamizi loyahuliche ago, nakamlonjela mbuli mkulu wa wamizi yolonga, “Kwangugana kudita choni? Munhu ayu wa Loma!”
27Mkulu wa wamizi nakamlutila Paoli, kamuuza, “Ndonjele, hegwe kwa munhu wa Loma?” Paoli nakedichila, “Ena.”
28Mkulu wa wamizi nakalonga, “Heni nani nda munhu wa Loma ila kwa kulavya vinhu vikulu.” Paoli nakedichila, “Ila heni nda munhu wa Loma kwa kuvumbuka.”
29Wala wanhu wali wewichile goya kumpugajiza Paoli baho nawajilila. Yula mkulu wa wamizi nakadumba loyavizelele kuta Paoli ndo munhu wa Loma na nayali mina yawohigwe ng'weso.
30Mitondo yake, mkulu wa wamizi nakagana kuvizela gatanganiche, gala Wayahudi wali wamuwichile Paoli. Ahyo, kamdohola Paoli ng'weso, kawalonjela watambika wakulu wanhu weng'ha wa utaguso wating'hane. Hamba nakamigala Paoli, nakamwimiza hali watagusa.
