1 Saulo iye yawanga na akiagia emberi na atiisia awalonzi awa Yesu no olumbe mu amiire ago. Yagia ku Omukangasi owa *awoozia[a] 2 amusawa ebaruwa ezia okumumanyisia ku awakangasi kandi ezia okumuganyira okugia mu amasinagoogi agari Damaskaasi. Yakola otio kugere na atuukiire omuntu olondokana ne engira eya *Omwami Yesu, awe omukazi namba awe omusaaza amuambe amuire mu owusiwe Yerusaleemu.

3 Ni yawanga ku engira na ari ampi okutuuka Damaskaasi, yaizukira na awona idangaala eria owueru ni wuaema ku igulu ni wumuikako.[b] 4 Yagwa ansi ku engira kandi yawurra omwoyo ni gumulaga gutino, “Saulo, Saulo, ekigera no ondambiizie wululu otio niki?”[c]

5 Saulo yamuwuuzia otino, “Omwami, iwue ni iwue anu?” Omwoyo ogwo gwamulaga gutino, “Inze ni inze Yesu owa odambiizie wululu. 6 Ni, ema ogie ku omugizi ogwa Damaskaasi kandi ooza okugia okulagwa ekia osugaane okole.”

7 Awantu awaagenda-gendanga ni Saulo waawanga ao kandi ekintu ekio kiawa-amba eminwa. Waawurra omwoyo ni gugamba-gamba ni ngawakawona omuntu. 8 Saulo yaimerra aema ansi. Olwa yasanukula amiiso gaae kiwulao ekintu ekia yaesanga okuwona. Kutio awantu awayawanga nawo awo waamuamba okukono wamuira Damaskaasi. 9 Ku amiire asatu yawa omuwuunu kandi ngakanywa namba ngakaria ekintu.

10 Yawangao omuntu wundi Damaskaasi oetwa Ananiasi, owawanga omulonzi owa Yesu. Katonda yagamba-gamba nae mu owusasuko na awoola otino, “Ananiasi!” Yamuirania otino, “Ndi ano Omwami.”

11 Yesu yamulaga otino, “Ema ogie mu enyumba eya Yudaasi eri ku engira eetwa mbwe Enyigolovu, ogie owuuzie mbwe oagala omuntu oemere Taaso oetwa mbwe Saulo. Ari ao nyingeeno asawa, 12 kandi amiire okuwona mu owusasuko no omuntu oetwa mbwe Ananiasi aingira aa ari kandi amutaako amakono gaae, kugere awone kandi.”

13 Ananiasi yamuirania otino, “Omwami, awantu awangi wamiire okundaga amangʼana amangi ku omuntu ono kandi kiomo amiire okuweerako na akorra awalowole waao ewintu ewiwiiwi ewingi Yerusaleemu. 14 Kandi katio nyingeeno aazre ano ne ebaruwa eemere ku Omukangasi owa awoozia okuuza okuamba awantu woona awaganyire ku iwue.”

15 No Omwami Yesu yamuirania otino, “Iwue gia aeniki miire okumulowoola okukola emirimo giange; egia okulanzia amangʼana gange ku awantu awatari *Awayaudi, awaami waawu na awantu woona Awaisraeli.[d] 16 Kandi inze omwene nyiza okumulagirizia kiomo kuuza okumunigirizia okunyaka-nyaakra eriina riange.”[e]

17 Kutio Ananiasi yaema agia aingira mu enyumba omwo. Yata amakono gaae ku Saulo na amulaga otino, “Wamwifu Saulo, Omwami Yesu owakufumira no ori ku engira no ooza ano antumre ku iwue kugere otanike kandi okuwona, kandi oizuziwue no *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda.”[f] 18 Ao ao, ewintu ewifwanana na amagamba aga emvwa wiaema ku amiiso aga Saulo wigwa ansi kandi amiiso gaae gaaiguka. Yaema kungulu kandi abatiiswa. 19 Olwa yamala okuria, amaani gaamuiranira kandi.

Saulo yawa na awantu awaganyire ku Yesu Damaskaasi ku amiire amatono. 20 Yagia mu *esinagoogi atanika kalala okulanzizia awantu omwo, mbwe Yesu no Omuzia owa Katonda.[g] 21 Awantu woona awaamuwurra waawa no okuluguula ino kandi waatanika okuiwuuzia watino, “Ono ngʼanio omuntu owaitanga awantu awaganyire ku eriina eria Yesu Yerusaleemu? Kandi owuo katio ngaazre ano okuamba awantu awakola watio okuirra awakangasi awa awoozia?”[h]

22 Kukawa kutio, okulanzia okwa Paulo kwasonga okuwa na amaani amangi ino kandi engira ezia yalaganiramo mbwe Yesu nio *Meesia kwangʼangʼaazia Awayaudi awaawanga ni wamenyere Damaskaasi, aa awulao omuntu owaesanga okumuirania ekingʼana.[i][j]

23 Na amiire amangi gaamala okuwita, Awayaudi wandi waaikumia alala okuagala engira eya okuita Saulo, 24 ni Saulo yagia amanya okuagala kwawu. Owuire no omuwasu waamuiteganga mu ewikulo ewi-ingira mu omugizi ogwa Damaskaasi ni wagala mbwe wamuite. 25 Okwo kwagera owuire wundi awalonzi waae wamuta mu entayi owuire wamuisia ansi kuwitra mu iwanga eriawanga ku enzizi eya omugizi.[k]

26 Olwa Saulo yairana Yerusaleemu, yagalanga mbwe aizoge na awalonzi awa Yesu awawangao ni waamutia aeniki ngawakawa no okuganya mbwe Saulo oona no omulonzi owa Yesu. 27 Kutio Baranabaasi nio owamutoola amuira ku *awatumwa awa Yesu awalaga kiomo Saulo yawuine Omwami Yesu ku engira kandi kiomo Omwami Yesu yamugamba-gambiire kandi lwona kiomo yalanziizie amangʼana ku eriina eria Yesu Damaskaasi no owusiani.[l][m] 28 Kutio Saulo yawa nawo ao kandi yagenda-genda mu omugizi ogwa Yerusaleemu na alanzia amangʼana ku eriina eria Omwami Yesu no owusiani. 29 Yagamba-gamba kandi yaikululana mu amangʼana na Awayaudi awaawoolanga Olugiriiki. Na awantu wano waageezaania mbwe wamuite.[n] 30 Olwa awalonzi wandi waamanya ekingʼana kino, waatoola Saulo wamuisia Kaesaria kandi wamutuma mbwe agie Taaso.[o]

31 Nikuemao katio awantu awaganyire ku Yesu awari mu ewitemo wiona ewia Yudeea, Galiili ni Samaria waawa no owuolu. Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda yawa-aa amaani kandi waaisonga wawa awangi ino. Kandi waamenya ni waeere Katonda owuti.

32 Petro yagenda-genda mu embega ziona ezia ekialo ekio. Owuire wulala yagia okuwona awiina waae awari no okuganya ku Yesu awaawanga ni wamenyere Liida. 33 Liida ao yatuukrao omuntu oetwa mbwe Ainea owawanga omulwire owa omuwiri ogufwa ngʼanzi kandi yawanga na amiire okuwa na ari ku iseero na atagenda-genda ku emiaka munaane. 34 Olwa Petro yamuwona yamulaga otino, “Ainea! Yesu *Kristo amiire okukulamia. Ema oazie owuriri.” Ainea yaema kungulu kalala. 35 Awantu woona awamenyere Liida na awamenyere Sarooni waamuwona na alamre kugera waganya ku Yesu.

36 Yawangao omukazi oetwa mbwe Tabiitha owawanga na amenyere Yoopa. (Mu Olugiriiki yaetwanga mbwe Dorkaasi.) Omukazi ono yawanga omulonzi owa Yesu. Yawanga omukazi owa enkola endootu kandi yatunzianga awantu awataka. 37 Mumiire ago omuwiri gwamukuba alwala nawuno afwa. Omuwiri gwae gwaoziwua geeza gugia guteewua mu enyumba eya goroofa kungulu. 38 Yoopa yawanga ampi ni Liida. Kutio olwa awalonzi awa Yesu waawurra mbwe Petro ari Liida, waatuma awantu wawiri mbwe wagie wamulage mbwe awagieko wuangu-wuangu.

39 Kutio Petro yaema agia na awantu awaatumwa awo; kandi olwa waatuuka, yatoolwa airwa mu enyumba eya kungulu aa omuwiri ogwa Tabiitha gwawanga ni guteerwe. Awakazi awafwire woona waaikumia ku Petro ni warra kandi ni wamulaga enguwo ezigawukane-gawukaane ezia Dorkaasi yawanawranga ni yawanga na akiari omulamu. 40 Petro yawafumia woona mu enyumba, nikuemao akuba ansi amasigamo atanika okusawa Katonda. Olwa yamala okusawa, yagaluka awarra omuwiri ogwa Tabiitha kandi awoola otino, “Tabiitha, ema kungulu!” Tabiitha yasanukula amiiso, olwa yawona Petro yaema aikala.[p] 41 Petro yamuamba amakono amuemia kungulu. Nikuemao Petro yaeta awakazi awafwire na awantu wandi woona awari no okuganya ku Yesu atoola Tabiitha awa-aa na ari omulamu. 42 Ekintu kino kiamanyikana mu ekialo ekia Yoopa kiona kandi kiagera awantu awangi wawa no okuganya ku Yesu. 43 Petro yamenya Yoopa ao ku amiire amangi no omuntu oetwa mbwe Simioni owakolanga emirimo egia okutowoka amaseero.[q]
