9 Vayangu vala valuwene lumuli lula, nambu nakummanya lwami lwa mwenilongela nayu.
Shamwari dzangu dzakaona chiedza, asi hadzina kunzwa inzwi raiye akanga achitaura neni.
10 Ndi nikakota, ‘Nikita kyani, Bambu?’ Bambu akaniyangula, ‘Yima, uhamba ku Damasko na kwenuko yati ujoviwa goha geupangiwi kugahenga.’
“Ndakabvunza ndikati, ‘Munoda kuti ndiiteiko Ishe?’ “Ishe akati, ‘Simuka, upinde muDhamasiko. Imomo ndimo mauchandoudzwa zvose zvawakatarirwa kuti uite.’
11 Mihu nakuhotola kulola ndava ya lumuli lula, hinu yavaganili vayangu vala kunilongosa mbaka kuhika ku Damasko.”
Shamwari dzangu dzakandisesedza pakupinda kwangu muDhamasiko, nokuti kuvaima kwechiedza kwakanga kwandipofumadza.
12 “Kwenuko kwavili na mundu mmonga liina laki Anania, mundu mweakumtopesa Chapanga, mweilanda Mhilu wa Chapanga weampeli Musa na mweitopeswa neju na Vayawudi voha vevitama ku Damasko.

13 Mwene abwelili kunilola, akanihegelela na kunijovela, ‘Mlongo wangu Sauli! Lola kavili.’ Bahapo nikahotola kumlola.
Akamira neni akati, ‘Hama Pauro, chiona!’ uye nenguva yakare iyoyo ndakakwanisa kumuona.
14 Kangi Anania akajova, ‘Chapanga wa vagogo vitu akuhagwili veve uhotola kumanya maganu gaki, kumlola Mweikita geigana Chapanga, na kumyuwana malovi gaki.
“Ipapo akati, ‘Mwari wamadzibaba edu akusarudza iwe kuti uzive kuda kwake uone Iye Akarurama uye unzwe mashoko anobva mumuromo make.
15 Ndava muni yati wijova ndava yaki kwa vandu voha gala geugawene na kuyuwana.

16 Hinu ndi, ndava kyani kutamakisa? Yima, ubatiziwayi na kulekekeswa geumbudili Chapanga kwa njila yeniyi ukulikemela liina la Yesu.’”
Saka zvino wakamirireiko? Simuka ubhabhatidzwe usukwe zvivi zvako, udane kuzita rake.’
17 “Hinu nawuyili ku Yelusalemu, na panavili mukuyupa Munyumba ya Chapanga, nagawene maono.
“Pandakadzokera kuJerusarema, uye ndichinyengetera ndiri mutemberi, ndakabatwa nomweya
18 Namuwene Bambu akunijovela, ‘Yumbatika! Wuka Yelusalemu kanyata, ndava muni vandu va penapa yati vakukuyidakila lepi mukujova kwaku ndava yangu.’
ndikaona Ishe achitaura kwandiri achiti, ‘Kurumidza kubva muJerusarema izvozvi, nokuti vanhu havangagamuchiri uchapupu hwako.’
19 Nikamyangula, Bambu, vandu ava vimanya hotohoto kuvya nene ndi yula mwenahambayi munyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi na kuvakamula na kuvatova vala vevakusadikayi.
“Ndakapindura ndikati, ‘Ishe, vanhu ava vanoziva kuti ndakanga ndichienda musinagoge rimwe nerimwe kuti ndinosunga uye ndirove vaya vaitenda kwamuri.
20 Na lukumbi Stefani mweijova ndava yaku peakomiwi, namwene navili nayidakili lepi chitendu chenicho hati navi mlonda wa nyula za vakomaji vala.
Uye pavakateura ropa raSitefani chapupu chenyu, ndakanga ndimirepo ndichitenderana nazvo uye ndakachengeta nhumbi dzaivo vaimuuraya.’
21 Kangi Bambu akanijovela, ‘Hamba, Yati nikutuma kutali kwa vangali Vayawudi.’”
“Ipapo Ishe akati kwandiri, ‘Enda, nokuti ndichakutuma kure kune veDzimwe Ndudzi.’”
22 Msambi wa vandu wamuyuwanili Pauli mbaka peajovili malovi ago. Kangi vakajova kwa lwami luvaha, “Mkoma mundu uyu! Mundu ngati uyu iganikiwa lepi kutama pamulima.”
Vanhu vakamuteerera kusvikira ataura izvi. Ipapo vakadanidzira vachiti, “Mubvisei panyika! Haafaniri kurarama!”
23 Ndi vayendalili kuywanga kuni vitaga nyula zavi na kutikula lububu kunani.
Pavakanga vachiita mheremhere vachikanda nguo dzavo pasi, uye vachikushira ivhu mudenga,
24 Mkulu wa msambi wa manjolinjoli avalagizi vandu vaki vampeleka Pauli mungomi, akavajovela vamtova michapilu muni amanya ndava kyani Vayawudi vakumywangila.

25 Nambu pevamalili kumkunga Pauli muni vamtovayi, mwene akamkota chilongosi mmonga wa manjolinjoli mweayimi penapo, “Malagizu ginu yikuvayidakila kumtova mkolonjinji wa ku Loma angahamuliwa?”
Pavakamusunga kuti vamurove, Pauro akati kumukuru wezana akanga amirepo, “Munotenderwa here nomutemo kuti murove muRoma, asina kana kutombowanikwa ane mhosva?”
26 Hinu chilongosi yula peayuwini genago, akamjovela mkulu wa msambi wa manjolinjoli akajova, “Wigana kukita kyani? Mundu uyu ndi mkolonjinji wa ku Loma!”

28 Kangi mkulu yula akayendelela kujova, “Nene namkolonjinji wa Loma wa kugula kwa mashonga gamahele.” Pauli akajova, “Nambu nene namkolonjinji wa Loma mukuvelekewa.”
Mukuru wehondo akati, “Ini ndakaita zvokutenga nomutengo mukuru kuti ndive muRoma.” Pauro akati, “Ini ndakaberekwa ndiri muRoma.”
29 Vandu vala vevamkotekesayi na kumtova michapilu Pauli bahapo vakawuka. Hati mkulu yula akayogopa peamanyili kuvya Pauli mkolonjinji wa ku Loma na kuni amkungili minyololo.
Vaya vakanga voda kumubvunza vakabva varega pakarepo. Mukuru wamauto pachake akatya paakaona kuti akanga asunga Pauro, muRoma, nengetani.
30 Chilau yaki mkulu wa msambi wa manjolinjoli aganili kumanya matakilu ga Vayawudi gevamtakili Pauli. Ndi amuwopwili minyololo na akalagiza vamteta vakulu va Chapanga na vagogo va libanji loha vakonganeka. Kangi amletili Pauli na kumyimika palongolo yavi.
