1 “Baganda bange nʼababbaabba, aale atyanu mumpulisisyeku nga mbawa okwewozyaku kwange.” 2 Owebamuwuliire ngʼatumula Lwebbulaniya, ni basirikira nakimo ino.

Awo oPawulo nʼakoba ati, 3 “Ndi Muyudaaya, omubyale wʼomu kibuga e Taasasi omwitwale lyʼe Sirisiya neye nʼakuliire mu Yerusaalemi munu. Era omunyere munu munasomeire, ngʼanjegesya niiye okirifuma oGamalyeri. Nakenkukire omu kukwata amateeka ga bazeiza baiswe nʼokwenenenkererya era ni mbanga nʼeiganyi libitiriri omu bikwata oku Kibbumba, ngʼera inywe nywena owemuli atyanu.22:3 Bik 5:34-39 4 Kagira nayiigaanianga abasengereri abʼeNzira ya Musengwa paka nʼoku kubaita, era nga nkwata abasaiza nʼabakali ni mbadyaka omu mabbuusu.22:4 Bik 8:3; 26:9-11 5 Era nga mwekyo nʼokabona akira obukulu aamo nʼabʼakakiiko akafuga omwigwanga beezya okunjulira. Bampaire nʼamabbaluwa agannyanjulayo eeri aBayudaaya abanaabwe abʼomu kibuga e Damaasiko. Era ni njabayo ni nkwata abasengereri bʼeNzira eenu nago, ni mbaleeta omu Yerusaalemi ngʼabasibe, bababonereze.”

6 “Awo olwatuukire, owenabbaire njaba omu Damaasiko, nga natira okutuuka, oku saawa ooti mukaaga egyʼomusana, naabire okubona ngʼokumoleka okwʼamaani okuzwa omwigulu kuneruguuliriirye. 7 Awo ni ngwa ansi, ni mpulira eigono erinkoba liti, ‘Sawulo, Sawulo! Lwaki onjiigaania?’

8 “Nze ni njiramu nti, ‘Niiwe onaani Musengwa?’ Iryo ni liiramu liti, ‘Ninze oYesu owʼe Naazaleesi ogwoli kuyiigaania.’ 9 Abainange abenabbaire nabo bona baboine okumoleka okwo neye tibawuliire eigono lyoyo eyatumwire na nze.

10 “Nze ni mbuulya nti, ‘Olwo nkole ntya, Musengwa?’ OMusengwa nʼankoba ati, ‘Osetukiremu oingire omu Damaasiko. Eeyo gibakukoberera byonabyona ebintaka okole.’

11 “Olwakubba okumoleka okwʼamaani kudi kwabbaire kunjitiremu amaiso, abainange abenabbaire nabo ni bʼankwataku oku ngalo ni bandungamya okuntuuca omu Damaasiko.

12 “Nga ndi omu Damaasiko, omusaiza ogubeeta Ananiya, omusaiza eyemaliranga ino omu kukwata aMateeka ga Musa, era aBayudaaya abʼaawo bonabona ogubawanga ekitiisya, nʼaiza okumbona. 13 Oweyatuukire, nʼayemerera egyendi nʼakoba ati, ‘Woluganda oSawulo, olibulye amaiso.’ Omu kiseera ekinyere ekyo, amaiso gange ni galibulya, ni mmubona.

14 “Awo omusaiza nago nʼakoba ati, ‘OKibbumba wʼabazeiza baiswe akulonderemu otegeere ebyataka okole era obone nʼoMuweereryawe oMutuuce aamo nʼokuwuliranga eigono erizwire omu munwagwe ekirikukoba. 15 Ekyo kityo olwakubba oyaba kusuuka muntu eyamumanyikisya eeri abantu bonabona ngʼobakobera ebyo ebyowuliire nʼebyoboine. 16 Neso aale tete atyanu lwaki ogayaala? Otyo osetukiremu bakubatize era bakunaabyeku ebibbibibbibyo nga weegairira oKibbumba.’ ”

17 “Owenairire omu Yerusaalemi, lumo nga ndi omu Yeekaalu omu kusaba, ni newulira ooti muntu aali omu kirooto. 18 Era oomwo ni mbona oMusengwa ngʼankoba ati, ‘Oyanguweku, ozwe omu Yerusaalemi olwakubba abaamu tibaikirirye ebyo ebyobakobera okujulira ebinkwataku.’

19 “Nze ni njiramu nti, ‘Musengwa, abantu banu bakimaite ngʼowenayabanga nga nnyingira mu buli ikumbaaniro okunoonia nkwate era nsibe omu mabbuusu era nga nkubba abo abakwikiririryamu. 20 Era, nʼowebaitiire omujuliziwo oSitefaano, nze zena onyere nabbairewo nga njikirizagana nʼabo abamwitire era nga ninze mbabisiire nʼebizwalo byabwe.’22:20 Bik 7:58

21 “Neye oMusengwa iye nʼankoba ati, ‘Iwe oyabe; njaba kukutuma yala yala mu bantu aBatali Bayudaaya.’ ”

22 Ekiziima kyʼabantu babbaire bakaali basirikire bawulisisya oPawulo paka oweyaguunyire kwekyo. Awo kaisi ni baasyamika ino bati, “Mumututoolerewo oku kyalo! Oyo omuntu mwite-bwiti! Oyo tasaaniire kubba mwomi kadi!”

23 Batyo ni bataamira nakimo okwasyamika nga webeeyambulya ebizibaawo era nʼokubiwuuba omwibbanga, nʼokudumuula enkungu omwibbanga. 24 Awo omuduumiri wʼabaisulukale, nʼalagira ati baingirye oPawulo omu kigo, bamufaamuule nʼefaalu egiriku emirobo egisima. Yakiragiire atyo ngʼanoonia ati amo nʼabbutula ekinanyerenyeere abantu ekibamuvunaana ekigira ni bamwasyamikira batyo. 25 Owebamalira okusiba oPawulo nʼenkoba, nga bataka okumukubba, nʼabuulya omukulu wʼekibinja kyʼabaisulukale 100 eyabbaire ngʼayemereire okumpi naye ati, “Dala kiri omu mateeka okukubba omutyami wʼe Looma anambula kusooka kumuwozesya ni bamusingisya omusango?”

26 Omukulu wʼekibinja oyo oweyawuliire ekyo, nʼayaba egiri omuduumiri wʼabaisulukale bonabona nʼamukoba ati, “Olwo oyaba kukola otya? Nti omusaiza onu mutyami wʼe Looma.”

27 Awo omuduumiri wʼabaisulukale nʼayaba egiri oPawulo nʼamubuulya ati, “Onkobere, oli mutyami wʼe Looma?” OPawulo nʼamwiramu ati, “Niikyo ekyo.”

28 Omuduumiri wʼabaisulukale nʼamukoba ati, “Nze okusuna obutyami omu Looma nʼasaswire empiiya nyingi.” OPawulo iye nʼamukoba ati, “Neye nze obwange bwʼobubyale.”

29 Abo ababbaire baaba okukaza oPawulo ni bamuzwaku mangu, era nʼomuduumiri wʼabaisulukale yena atyo. Ekyo kityo olwakubba omuduumiri yabbaire akimanyicirye ati kaisi ogwasibire Mulooma.

30 Oku lunaku olwairireku, engeri omuduumiri wʼabaisulukale egiyatakire okumanya nsongaki dala aBayudaaya egibavunaana oPawulo, nʼamusibinduula era nʼalagira abakabona abakulu nʼabʼoLukiiko oLufugi olwʼaBayudaaya bonabona okukumbaana. Owebaizire, nʼaleeta oPawulo egibali nʼamwemererya omu maiso gaabwe.
