1 “Achalongo achinjangu ni achatati, mumbilikanile uchenene inguti kulichenjela paujo penu!”
Iye anati, “Inu abale anga ndi makolo anga, tamvani mawu akudziteteza kwanga.”
2 Ŵandu ŵala paŵampilikene che Paolo achikungulukaga nawo Mchiebulania ŵamyalele jii. Ni che Paolo ŵajendelechele kuŵecheta,
Atamva iye akuyankhula Chihebri, anakhala chete. Kenaka Paulo anati,
3 “Uneji ndili Myahudi, napagwilwe ku Taso, musi wa ku Kilikia. Nambo ngulile papapa pa Yelusalemu, naliji jwakulijiganya ju che Gamalieli. Nalijiganyisye uchenene kukamula malajisyo ga achambuje ŵetu. Nalityosisye ni ntima wose kwa Akunnungu mpela intite ŵanyamwe lelo jino.
“Ine ndine Myuda, wobadwira ku Tarisisi wa ku Kilikiya, koma ndinaleredwa mu mzinda muno, ndinaphunzitsidwa mwatsatanetsatane kusunga malamulo a makolo athu ndi Gamalieli ndipo ndinali wodzipereka pa za Mulungu monga mmene inu mulili lero.
4 Naalagesye ŵandu Ŵakwakuya Che Yesu mpaka kwaulaga. Naakamwile achalume ni achakongwe ŵakwe ni kwataŵa mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa.
Ine ndinkazunza anthu otsatira Njirayi mpaka kuwapha. Ndinkagwira amuna ndi amayi ndi kuwayika mʼndende.
5 Jŵambopesi jwankulu pamo ni nkungulu wa achachekulu akukombola kuutyosya umboni wa yeleyo. Ŵanyawo ni ŵaŵambele chikalata chakwapelechela Ŵayahudi ŵakutama ku Damesiki. Najawile ku Damesiki kuti ngaakamule ŵandu wo ni kwajigala kuja nawo ku Yelusalemu ali ataŵikwe kuti ajamukwe.”
Mkulu wa ansembe ndiponso akuluakulu a Ayuda angathe kundichitira umboni. Iwowa anandipatsa makalata opita nawo kwa abale awo ku Damasiko. Ndipo ndinapita kumeneko kuti ndikawagwire anthu amenewa ndi kubwera nawo ku Yerusalemu kuti adzalangidwe.
6 “Nipele, panaliji mwitala kuŵandichila ku Damesiki, muusi mpela lyuŵa pa ntwe chisisimuchile kwinani kwakopochele lulanga lwekulungwa ni lwalanguchisye une mbande syose.
“Nthawi ya masana, nditayandikira ku Damasiko, mwadzidzidzi kuwala kwakukulu kochokera kumwamba kunandizungulira.
7 Pelepo nagwile paasi, nipele napilikene liloŵe lichisalilaga, ‘Che Sauli, che Sauli! Ana ligongo chi nkuunagasya une?’
Ndinagwa pansi ndipo ndinamva mawu akuti, ‘Saulo! Saulo! Ukundizunziranji?’”
8 Noneji nausisye, ‘Ana ŵaani alakwe, Ambuje?’ Nombewo ŵajanjile, ‘Uneji ndili Che Yesu jwa ku Nasaleti junkunagasya.’
Ine ndinafunsa kuti, “Ndinu ndani Ambuye?” Iye anayankha kuti, “Ndine Yesu wa ku Nazareti, amene iwe ukumuzunza.”
9 Achinjangu ŵanaliji nawo mu ulendo ŵala ŵaliweni lilanguka lila nambo nganalipikana liloŵe lya ajula jwaŵaŵechetaga ni une.
Anzanga a paulendo anaona kuwalako, koma sanamve mawuwo, a Iye amene amayankhula nane.
10 Nipele uneji nausisye, ‘Ana ndende chichi Ambuje?’ Nombe Ambuje ŵanyanjile, ‘Njime, njaule ku Damesiki ni kweleko chansalile yose yaikummajila kuipanganya.’
Ine ndinafunsa kuti, “Kodi ndichite chiyani Ambuye?” Ambuye anati, “Imirira ndipo pita ku Damasiko. Kumeneko adzakuwuza zonse zimene ukuyenera kuchita.”
11 Kwa ligongo lya kung'alima kwa lilanguka lila nalepele kulola nipele achinjangu unalongene nawo mu ulendo ŵala ŵangamwile nkono ni kunongosya mpaka naiche ku Damesiki.
Anzanga anandigwira dzanja kupita nane ku Damasiko, popeza kuwala kunja kunandichititsa khungu.
12 “Ni ku Damesiki ko jwapali mundu jumo liina lyakwe che Anania, mundu jwakwalamba Akunnungu ni jwakugakamulichisya Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa ni juŵaŵalanjikwe umboni kuti ali jwambone ni Ŵayahudi ŵakutama ku Damesiki.
“Munthu wina dzina lake Hananiya anabwera kudzandiona. Iyeyu anali munthu woopa Mulungu ndi wosunga Malamulo. Ayuda onse okhala kumeneko amamupatsa ulemu waukulu.
13 Jwelejo ŵaiche kukuunola, ni ŵajimi pachiŵandi ni uneji ni kuti, ‘Mpwanga che Sauli! Nkombole kulola sooni.’ Papopo nakombwele kulola sooni ni nammweni.
Iye anayimirira pafupi nane nati, ‘Mʼbale Saulo, penyanso!’ Ndipo nthawi yomweyo ndinapenya ndikumuona iyeyo.
14 Nipele che Anania ŵatite, ‘Akunnungu ŵa achambuje ŵetu ansagwile mmwe kuti mmanyilile yakuisaka, ni kummona jwelejo Jwakupanganya yambone paujo pa Akunnungu, ni kumpilikana nsyene achiŵechetaga.
“Ndipo iye anati, ‘Mulungu wa makolo athu wakusankha iwe kuti udziwe chifuniro chake ndi kuona Wolungamayo ndi kumva mawu ochokera pakamwa pake.
15 Pakuŵa chimme jwaumboni jwakwe kwa ŵandu wose nchasalilaga aila yose inyiweni ni kwipilikana.
Iwe udzakhala mboni yake kwa anthu onse pa zimene waziona ndi kuzimva.
16 Nipele sano nkulindilila ichichi, njime mbatiswe ni kutyosyekwa sambi syenu, kwakutenda yelei nkuliŵilanga liina lya Ambuje.’
Ndipo tsopano ukudikira chiyani? Dzuka ndi kutama dzina la Ambuye mopemba, ubatizidwe ndi kuchotsa machimo ako.’
17 “Nipele, nausile ku Yelusalemu ni panapopelaga pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu pala naiweni yakwiwona.
“Nditabwerera ku Yerusalemu, ndikupemphera mʼNyumba ya Mulungu, ndinachita ngati ndakomoka.
18 Nammweni Ambuje achiisalilaga, ‘Njanguye! Ntyoche chitema mu Yelusalemu pakuŵa ŵandu ŵa pelepa ŵa ngaapochela umboni wenu nkati une.’
Ndinaona Ambuye akundiwuza kuti, ‘Fulumira! Tuluka mu Yerusalemu msangamsanga, chifukwa anthuwa sadzavomereza umboni wako wonena za Ine.’”
19 Noneji najanjile, ‘Ambuje, ŵanyawo akumanyilila kuti uneji ni jwejula junajendagajendaga mmajumba gao ga kupopelela ni kwataŵa mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa aŵala ŵaŵankulupilile mmweji ni kwaputa.
Ine ndinayankha Ambuye kuti, “Anthu awa akudziwa kuti ine ndinkapita ku sunagoge iliyonse ndipo ndinkawaponya mʼndende ndi kuwakwapula amene ankakhulupirira inu.
20 Ni katema paŵammuleje che Stefano jwa umboni jwenu, uneji nansyene naliji palapala ni sooni najitichisye kuti ŵaulaje ni nalindilile nguo sya ŵaŵambuleje ŵala.’
Ndipo pamene ankapha Stefano, ine ndinali pomwepo kuvomereza ndi kusunga zovala za amene amamupha.”
21 Ambuje ŵaasalile, ‘Njaule, chinantume kwakutalika, kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi.’”
Pamenepo Ambuye anandiwuza kuti, “Nyamuka; Ine ndidzakutuma kutali kwa anthu a mitundu ina.”
22 Ŵandu ŵala ŵapilikanilaga mpaka paŵaŵechete maloŵe go, nipele, ŵatandite kunyanyisya achitiji, “Mumbulaje! Mundu jwati yelei ngaakuŵajilwa kulama.”
Gulu la anthu linamvetsera mawu a Paulo mpaka pamene ananena izi, kenaka anakweza mawu awo nafuwula kuti, “Ameneyo aphedwe basi! Ngosayenera kukhala moyo!”
23 Ni ŵajendelechele kunyanyisya akuno achiulaga iwalo yao ni kututumya luundu mwinani.
Akufuwula ndi kuponya zovala zawo ndi kuwaza fumbi kumwamba,
24 Jwankulu jwa ŵangondo lichila jula ŵaalamwile ŵangondo ŵao anjigale che Paolo ni kunjinjisya mu likome, ni ŵaalajisye ŵaapute mbokola ali nkumbusya kuti ŵamanyisye ligongo lya Ŵayahudi kunyanyisya.
mkulu wa asilikali analamulira kuti amutenge Paulo kupita naye ku malo a asilikali. Iye analamula kuti Paulo akwapulidwe kwambiri ndi kumufunsa kuti apeze chimene anthu ankafuwulira chotere.
25 Nambo paŵantaŵile ngonji kuti ŵapute, che Paolo ŵambusisye jwankulu jumo juŵajimi pepala, “Ana malajisyo gakutusaka kumputa mbokola Mloma akanaŵe kulamulikwa?”
Atamumanga kuti amukwapule, Paulo anati kwa msilikali wolamulira asilikali 100 amene anayima pamenepo, “Kodi malamulo amalola kukwapula nzika ya Chiroma imene sinapezedwe yolakwa?”
26 Jwankulu jula paŵapilikene yeleyo, ŵajawile ku jwankulu jwa ŵangondo jula ni kwasalila, “Ana nkusaka kutenda chichi? Pakuŵa mundu ju ali Mloma!”
Wolamulira asilikali 100 uja atamva zimenezi, anapita kwa mkulu wa asilikali ndi kumufotokozera. Iye anafunsa kuti, “Kodi mukuchita chiyani ndi munthuyu amene ndi nzika ya Chiroma?”
27 Nipele jwankulu jwa ŵangondo jula ŵanjaulile che Paolo ni kummusya, “Musalile, ana mmwe Mloma?” Che Paolo ŵajanjile, “Elo.”
Mkulu wa asilikali uja anapita kwa Paulo ndipo anamufunsa kuti, “Tandiwuze, kodi ndiwe nzika ya Chiroma?” Paulo anayankha kuti, “Inde.”
28 Jwankulu jwa ŵangondo jula ŵatite, “Uneji none ndili Mloma kwa kusuma ni ntengo wekulungwa.” Che Paolo ŵatite, “Nambo uneji ndili Mloma jwakupagwa.”
Kenaka mkulu wa asilikaliyo anati, “Ine ndinapereka ndalama zambiri kuti ndikhale nzika.” Paulo anayankha kuti, “Koma ine ndinabadwa nzika.”
29 Nipele ŵandu ŵaŵasachile kumbusya ali nkumputa che Paolo ŵala papopo ŵatyosile. Ni jwankulu jwa ŵangondo jula paŵaimanyilile kuti che Paolo ŵaliji Mloma ŵajogwepe pakuŵa ŵantaŵile ni minyolo.
Iwo amene anati amufunse analeka nthawi yomweyo. Mkulu wa asilikali uja anachita mantha atazindikira kuti wamanga Paulo amene ndi nzika ya Chiroma.
30 Malaŵi jakwe, jwankulu jwa ŵangondo mia moja jula ŵasachile kugamanyilila magambo gasyenesyene gakuŵechetelwa che Paolo ni Ŵayahudi. Nipele ŵangopwele minyolo jila ni ŵaalamwile achakulu ŵambopesi ni achakulu ŵa nkungulu asimane. Nipele ŵanjigele che Paolo ni kuntulusya paasi ni kunjimika paujo pa nkungulu.
Mmawa mwake, mkulu wa asilikali pofuna kupeza chifukwa chenicheni chimene Ayuda amamunenera Paulo, anamumasula ndipo analamula kuti akulu a ansembe ndi onse akuluakulu a Bwalo Lalikulu asonkhane. Ndipo iye anabweretsa Paulo namuyimiritsa patsogolo pawo.
