Pevamuyuwini ilongela nawu kwa luga ya Chiebulania vakatama nuu neju. Kangi Pauli akayendelela kujova,
3 “Ame nde Muyuda, ndalasemenwa mu munshi wa Taliso, mucishi ca Kilikiya, nsombi ndalakulila muno mu munshi wa Yelusalemu. Ndalikuba shikwiya wa Gamaliyeli, uyo walanjiyisha mwakukonkela Milawo yalapewa ku bamashali betu bakulukulu. Kayi ndalikuba walibenga kusebensela Lesa, mbuli ncemubele mwense omuli pano.
“Nene na Myawudi mkolonjinji wa ku Taso muji wa Kilikia. Nambu naleliwi bahapa pa Yelusalemu. Muwula wangu Gamalieli. Nawuliwi kulanda malagizu ga vagogo vitu, najiwusili mtima woha kwa Chapanga ngati chemuvi nyenye lelu.
4 Ndalikupensha bantu balikukonkela nshila ya Mwami Yesu, nabambi ndalikubashinisha. Ndalikwikata batuloba ne batukashi ne kubatwala mujele.
Navang'ahisi hati kuvakoma vandu vala vevalanda Njila ya Bambu. Navakamwili vagosi na vadala na kuvakunga muchifungu.
5 Mukulene wa Beshimilumbo, ne bomboloshi ba nkuta ngabasumineti ndambanga cakubinga. Pakwinga balo ebalampa makalata, akunsuminisha kutwala ku Bayuda balikwikala mu munshi wa Damasiko. Neco ndalaya akubekata bantu bashoma Yesu ne kubaleta ku Yelusalemu, kabali basungwa ncetani kwambeti bese bapewe cisubulo.
Mteta mkulu wa Chapanga, vagogo voha va libanji vihotola kujova ndava ya lijambu lenili. Kuhumila kwavi napokili balua yevayandikiwi valongo Vayawudi vala, vevavi ku Damasko. Nahambili ku Damasko muni nivakamulayi vandu avo na kuvaleta kuni ku Yelusalemu, muni vabuniwayi.”
6 “Mpondalashika pepi ne munshi wa Damasiko, cindi ca 12 koloko munshi, mumuni unene walafuma kwilu walamunikila mpondalikuba.
“Hinu, panavili munjila papipi kuhika Damasko, lukumbi lwa saa sita ya muhi, lumuli luvaha kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga chigafula ukahumila na kunilangasa pandi zoha.
7 Ndalawa panshi, popelapo ndalanyumfwa liswi lya kwambeti, ‘Saulo! Saulo! Inga ulampenshelenga cani cisa’
Penapo ndi nagwili pahi, nakuyuwana lwami lukunijovela, ‘Sauli, Sauli! Ndava kyani, ukuning'aha?’
8 Ndalepusheti, ‘Inga njamwe bani Nkambo,’ Walikwamba walankumbuleti, ‘Njame Yesu waku Nasaleti ngolapenshenga.”
Hinu nakotili, yani Bambu? Aniyangwili, ‘Nene ndi Yesu wa ku Nazaleti mweukumung'aha.’
9 Bantu mbondalikuba nabo baliya kunyumfwa liswi lya muntu walikwamba nenjame sobwe, nsombi mumuni balaubona.
Vayangu vala valuwene lumuli lula, nambu nakummanya lwami lwa mwenilongela nayu.
10 Popelapo ndalepusheti, “Inga nicani ncendelela kwinsa Nkambo? Apo Mwami walambeti, ‘Nyamuka, wenga mu Damasiko, nibenga bakwambile byonse Lesa mbyalayandangeti winse.’
Ndi nikakota, ‘Nikita kyani, Bambu?’ Bambu akaniyangula, ‘Yima, uhamba ku Damasko na kwenuko yati ujoviwa goha geupangiwi kugahenga.’
11 Ndalashipilwa cebo ca mumuni unene walamunikila cakwinseti balanjikatilila kucikasa bantu mbondalikuba nabo pa kuntwala mu Damasiko.”
Mihu nakuhotola kulola ndava ya lumuli lula, hinu yavaganili vayangu vala kunilongosa mbaka kuhika ku Damasko.”
12 Mu munshi uwu mwalikuba muntu walikukwiweti Hananiya, muntu wali kukonkela Milawo, ne kukambilila Lesa ne moyo wakendi wonse. Bayuda bonse baku Damasiko balikumupa bulemu.
“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 Walemana pepi ne njame ne kwambeti, “Saulo mukwabo, kocaluka menso utatike kubona kayi!” Pacindi copeleco ndalacikonsha kulanga ne kumubona Hananiya.
Mwene abwelili kunilola, akanihegelela na kunijovela, ‘Mlongo wangu Sauli! Lola kavili.’ Bahapo nikahotola kumlola.
14 Popelapo walambeti, “Lesa ngobali kukambilila bamashali betu bakulukulu, lakusala kwambeti winshibe kuyanda kwakendi ne kubona Walulama ne kunyumfwa liswi lyakendi.
Kangi Anania akajova, ‘Chapanga wa vagogo vitu akuhagwili veve uhotola kumanya maganu gaki, kumlola Mweikita geigana Chapanga, na kumyuwana malovi gaki.
15 Pakwinga nukamubele kamboni pakubambila bantu bintu mbyowalabona, ne kunyumfwa.
Ndava muni yati wijova ndava yaki kwa vandu voha gala geugawene na kuyuwana.
16 Inga lino ucipembelela cani? Nyamuka, ubatishiwe kwambeti Lesa akuswepeshe bwipishi bwakobe mpolapailinga Lesa.
Hinu ndi, ndava kyani kutamakisa? Yima, ubatiziwayi na kulekekeswa geumbudili Chapanga kwa njila yeniyi ukulikemela liina la Yesu.’”
17 “Mpondalabwelela ku Yelusalemu, cindi ncondalikupaila mu Ng'anda ya Lesa ndalabona cimbonimboni.
“Hinu nawuyili ku Yelusalemu, na panavili mukuyupa Munyumba ya Chapanga, nagawene maono.
18 Ndalabona Mwami kang'ambileti, ‘Fwambana, fuma mu Yelusalemu muno, pakwinga bantu nteti bakunyumfwile bukamboni mbweti wambenga bulambanga sha njame.’
Namuwene Bambu akunijovela, ‘Yumbatika! Wuka Yelusalemu kanyata, ndava muni vandu va penapa yati vakukuyidakila lepi mukujova kwaku ndava yangu.’
19 Ame ndalambeti, ‘Nkambo, bonse bacinshi kwambeti ndalikuya mu mibungano ya Bayuda, kusunga ne kubauma abo bashoma muli njamwe.
Nikamyangula, Bambu, vandu ava vimanya hotohoto kuvya nene ndi yula mwenahambayi munyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi na kuvakamula na kuvatova vala vevakusadikayi.
20 Kayi mpobalikumushina Stefano uyo walikwambila bantu makani ali pali njamwe, ame ndalikubapo. Ndalasuminishako kwambeti bamushine, kayi njame ndalikuba ndekata mu makasa byakufwala bya kunsa bya bantu abo balikumushina.’
Na lukumbi Stefani mweijova ndava yaku peakomiwi, namwene navili nayidakili lepi chitendu chenicho hati navi mlonda wa nyula za vakomaji vala.
21 Lino Mwami walang'ambileti, ‘Koya, pakwinga ni nkakutume kutali ku bantu bakunsa.’”
Kangi Bambu akanijovela, ‘Hamba, Yati nikutuma kutali kwa vangali Vayawudi.’”
22 Bantu bali kabakutika mpaka pacindi ncalamba maswi akuya kubantu bakunsa. Neco balatatika kubilikisheti, “Katumushinani! Nkelela kubapo pacishi capanshi muntuyu sobwe!”
Msambi wa vandu wamuyuwanili Pauli mbaka peajovili malovi ago. Kangi vakajova kwa lwami luvaha, “Mkoma mundu uyu! Mundu ngati uyu iganikiwa lepi kutama pamulima.”
23 Balabilikisha ne kuwala byakufwala byabo bya kunsa mwilu, ne kutukula lusuko.
Ndi vayendalili kuywanga kuni vitaga nyula zavi na kutikula lububu kunani.
24 Popelapo mukulene wa bashilikali bonse walabambileti bamutwale Paulo, munkambe ya bashilikali kuya kumukwapula, kwambeti ayubulule ncobayobekelanga bantu bonse.
Mkulu wa msambi wa manjolinjoli avalagizi vandu vaki vampeleka Pauli mungomi, akavajovela vamtova michapilu muni amanya ndava kyani Vayawudi vakumywangila.
25 Lino mpobalamusunga kwambeti batatike kumukwipa, Paulo walepusha mushilikali walikwendelesha bashilikali mwanda, walikuba wemana pepi, “Sena mulawo wasuminisha kukwipa bikoti muntu Muloma, kamutana mu mombolosheti mucane mulandu?”
Nambu pevamalili kumkunga Pauli muni vamtovayi, mwene akamkota chilongosi mmonga wa manjolinjoli mweayimi penapo, “Malagizu ginu yikuvayidakila kumtova mkolonjinji wa ku Loma angahamuliwa?”
26 Uyu mukulene wabashilikali mpwalanyumfweco, walaya kwambila mukulene wa bashilikali bonse, ne kumwipusheti, “Inga mulayandanga kwinsa cani? Muntuyu ni Muloma!”
Hinu chilongosi yula peayuwini genago, akamjovela mkulu wa msambi wa manjolinjoli akajova, “Wigana kukita kyani? Mundu uyu ndi mkolonjinji wa ku Loma!”
27 Popelapo mukulene wa bashilikali bonse walaya kuli Paulo, kuya kumwipusheti, “Kong'ambila cena, sena omu Loma?” Paulo walakumbuleti, “Ee.”
Hinu mkulu yula amhambalili Pauli, akamkota, “Nijovela, veve ndi mkolonjinji wa ku Loma?” Pauli akayangula, “Ena.”
28 Mukulene wa bashilikali bonse walambeti, “Ame ndalensa kula ne mali angi, kwambeti mbe Mu loma.” Paulo walakumbuleti, “Ame nde mu Loma mukusemwa.”
Kangi mkulu yula akayendelela kujova, “Nene namkolonjinji wa Loma wa kugula kwa mashonga gamahele.” Pauli akajova, “Nambu nene namkolonjinji wa Loma mukuvelekewa.”
29 Cindico bashilikali basa balikuyanda kumwipusha balasonoka. Nendi mukulene wa bashilikali bonse walatina mpwaleshibeti Paulo ni Muloma, kayi bamusunga ncetani.
Vandu vala vevamkotekesayi na kumtova michapilu Pauli bahapo vakawuka. Hati mkulu yula akayogopa peamanyili kuvya Pauli mkolonjinji wa ku Loma na kuni amkungili minyololo.
30 Neco pabusuba bwalakonkapo, mukulene wa bashilikali bonse walikuyanda kwinshiba cena mulandu ngobali kuyanda kumupa Paulo Bayuda, walambila bashilikali kwambeti bamusungulule Paulo, kufumapo walambila beshimilumbo bamakulene ne bendeleshi ba nkuta bonse kwambeti babungane. Neco balamwimanika Paulo pantangu pabo.
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.
