1 Matsuwa ghagho Sauli tsakaghendelela kuwatenda iwanu iwamtoghole Imtwatsa wapfuke ghendo kwa kulonga katsowakoma. Kaghenda kwa mtambika mkulu, 2 kalomba yeng'ighwe tsibaluwa itsimwapfila kumanyika mne tsing'anda tse ukulombela itsili Damasko, ili ang'awapfika ako awaghoghe iwamale ne iwapinga iwoiwinza Imbuli ye Imtwatsa na kuya nawo Yerusalemu.

3 Lekeni hayang'ali mnzila habehi na kupfika Damasko, bahala lumwesa kulawa kulanga lummulika kosekose. 4 Kaghwa, kahulika litsi lyomlongela, “Sauli, Sauli! Ebali kwondesa?”

5 Sauli kaghutsa, “Imtwatsa, ghweghwe uli nani?”

Naye kamwidika, “Nene na Yesu, yumdununza! 6 Lelo winuke, wingile mne ghumji, ako kuna imunu katsokulongela chokutenda.”

7 Iwanu iwelongotse na Sauli mne ghumwanza wema baho aku wahela chakulonga, wahulika litsi ila ng'awamwonile munu bae. 8 Sauli kenuka, hayafumbule tsinenge, ng'adahile bae ukwona chochose. Apfo wamlongotsa kwa kumkinda ghumoko mbaka Damasko. 9 Kwa matsuwa madatu Sauli ng'adahile bae ukona, na ng'ajile wala ng'anwile ichinu chochose.

10 Ako Damasko tsahana imunu yumwe iyamuwinzile Yesu, taghwa lyake Ananiya. Imtwatsa tsakamlongela mne ghamaono, “Ananiya!”

Ananiya kedika, “Ona Mtwatsa.”

11 Imtwatsa kamlongela, “Winuke, ughende kune inzila iikimeghwa inzila iigholoke, ukambame imunu yumwe wa Taso iyokemighwa Sauli, kamne ing'anda ya Yuda, sambi kolomba, 12 naye mne ghamaono kamwona imunu iyokemighwa Ananiya kakwingila mng'anda na kumwikila ghamoko ili yadahe ukwona keli.”

13 Lekeni Ananiya kedika, “Imtwatsa nihulika mbuli tse imunu ayu kulawa kwe iwanu wengi. Nihulika mengi ghehile ghayawatendele iwanu wako ako Yerusalemu. 14 Naye katsa hano ne uwetso kulawa kwe iwatambika wakulu awaghoghe wose iwokutamanila ghweghwe.”

15 Lekeni Imtwatsa kamlongela, “Ghenda, kwaapfila nimsaghula imunu yuno yanisang'anile, yapete taghwa lyangu kwa iwanu iwali si Wayahudi na kwe iwandewa wawo na kwe iwanu we Isiraeli. 16 Nene imwenyegho nitsomlangusa mengi ighatsombama yadununzike kwaajili ya taghwa lyangu.”

17 Apfo Ananiya kaghenda, kengila mng'anda amwo. Kuya kamwikila ghamoko Sauli, kalonga, “Ndughu yangu Sauli, Imtwatsa Yesu iyakulawile mnzila haung'ali kwakutsa hano, kanituma ili udahe ukwona keli na umemesighwe Ghumuhe Mwenzeluka.” 18 Bahala ipfinu ka maghamba pfilaghala kulawa mnenge mwake, naye kadaha ukwona keli. Kuya kenuka, kabatitsighwa. 19 Na hayamalitse ukuja ngupfu tsake tsimuyila.

Sauli tsakakala ghamatsuwa chidogho ne iwanu iwamtoghole Yesu ako Damasko. 20 Baho kandusa kupeta mne tsing'anda tse ukulombela ka Yesu ka Imwana we Imulungu.

21 Iwanu wose iwamuhulike wakangawala, walonga, “Imunu yuno si yuyula bae iyawakomile iwanu iwamtamanile Yesu akula Yerusalemu? Ambe tsakatsa hano yawaghoghe iwanu awo kuya yawaghale kwe iwatambika wakulu!”

22 Lekeni Sauli kaghendelela kupata ingupfu na kuwakangawatsa Wayahudi iwokala Damasko kwa kulangusa ka Yesu iyo Kiristu.

23 Haghabitile ghamatsuwa mengi, Wayahudi tsawelaghana wamkome Sauli. 24 Lekeni Sauli tsakalongelighwa imbuli ayo. Chilo na misi tsawamlolesa hane imibani ya kwingilila mkaye ili wamkome. 25 Lekeni nechilo wanang'ina wake wamsola, wamuhulumsa mliseghe kubitila mne litundu ilikalile mne libanda lye ghumji.

26 Sauli hapfikile Yerusalemu, tsakabama yelunge ne iwanang'ina, lekeni wawo wang'ali wompfuka, kwaapfila ng'awatoghole bae ka naye tsakakala imwanang'ina. 27 Lekeni Balinaba kamsola Sauli kamghala kwe iwatumighwa. Kawalongela Sauli pfayamwonile Imtwatsa mne ghumwanza ghwake na Imtwatsa tsakalonga naye, na pfayapetile taghwa lya Yesu bila kupfuka akula Damasko. 28 Apfo Sauli kakala nawo na ukwanga Yerusalemu yose aku kopeta imbuli ye Imtwatsa bila kupfuka. 29 Kalonga nawo na kwighutsa na Wayahudi iwolonga Chigiriki, lekeni nawo wabama kumkoma. 30 Ndughu hawamanyile imbuli ayo wamsola Sauli mbaka Kaisariya, wamghala Taso.

31 Apfo iwanu iwomtoghola Kiristu tsawakala tseghamba mne isi ya Yudeya na Galilaya na Samariya, waghumighwa ghumoyo na Ghumuhe Mwenzeluka na wongetseka na kukala kwa kumpfuka Imtwatsa.

32 Petiri hayang'ali yobita chila hanu, kawangila iwanu we Imulungu iwokala Luda. 33 Ako kampfika imunu yumwe iyakemighwe Eneya, yawasile mlusatsi kwa miyaka kumi na minane kwa utamu wa kuholola. 34 Petiri kamlongela, “Eneya, Yesu Kiristu kokuhonetsa. Winuke, utandike lusatsi lwako.” Bahala Eneya kenuka. 35 Iwanu wose iwokala Luda na Sharoni wamwona Eneya, nawo wamuyila Imtwatsa.

36 Ako Yopa tsakukala ne imwanang'ina yumwe pinga iyakemighwe Tabita kwa Chigiriki Dorika, mana yake mbawala. Ipinga ayo tsayang'ali yotenda ghanoghile matsuwa ghose na kuwapfila iwahingwa. 37 Mna matsuwa agho kaghula, kafa, waghwopfugha lukuli wake na waghwika mchiheleto cha kuchanya. 38 Luda si hatali ng'ani na Yopa, apfo iwanang'ina hawahulike Petiri ka ako, wawatuma iwanu weli kuna yeye, na wamlomba, “Utse kuna twetwe sambi baha.” 39 Petiri kaghenda nawo, na hayapfikile, wamghala mchiheleto cha uchanya. Ipfitsuka wose wamtsunguluka Petiri aku wolila na kumlangusa maghwanda na maghwanda ghayatendile Dorika hayang'ali mghima. 40 Petiri kawalapfa wose kunze, kuya katowa ghamaghoti, kalomba. Kamhundukila ipinga yula iyafile, kalonga, “Tabita, winuke.” Naye kafumbula tsinenge na hayamwonile Petiri, kenuka kakala. 41 Petiri kamkinda ghumoko kamwapfila ukwimwinula. Kuya kawakema iwanu we Imulungu na wala ipfitsuka, kamleka mghamoko mwawo ka mghima. 42 Imbuli ayo imanyika mne isi yose ya Yopa, na iwanu wengi wamtoghola Imtwatsa. 43 Petiri kakala ako Yopa matsuwa mengi, tsakakala ne imunu iyotenda tsingotsi yakemighwe Simoni.
