9 Banibena nabo bababoni mumuni, kono kanababazuwi inzwi liyabali kuwamba kwangu.
10 Ninati, 'Niyelele kutenda nzi, Simwine?' Simwine nati kwangu, 'Katuke ni kuyenda kwa Damasika; kwateni uko kokawambilwe zonse zotameha kutenda.'
11 Kana nibali kubona chebaka labukali bwalumonyi luna, chobulyo ninayenda mwa Damasika ninietelelwe chamayanza abana banibena nabo.
12 Kwateni uko ninakasangana ni mukwame yosupwa Ananiasi, mukwame yotokomele chakuya chomulao ni yopakwa ni majuda bonse babali kuhala mwecho chibaka.
13 Abezi kwangu, kwiza kuzima hembali name, mi nati, 'Saule mwinakwetu, amuhele kubona kwako.' Mwihola iswana ninamubona.
14 Kuzwaho nati, Ireeza ubeshetu betanzi abakusangi kuti wizibe itato yakwe, ubone Yonjolwele, ni kuzuwa linzwi lizwa mukaholo kakwe mwine.
15 Mukuti kobe ipaki yakwe kubakwame bonse kuchobaboni ni kusuwa.
16 Imi linu chinzi holindile? Katuke, kakolobezwe, ni kukasamba zive zako, nosupa izina lyakwe.'
17 Kuzwa hanikabola kwa Jerusalema, mi hanibakwete kulapela mwitempele, kubatendahali kuti ni bahewa ipono.
18 Nibamuboni naniwambila kuti, 'Hwele ni kusiya Jerusalema kapili, mukuti keti ni bazumine bupaki bwangu kwako.'
19 Ninati, 'Simwine, abo bene bezi kuti nibenjizi mutolongo ni kukaba babali kuzumina mwizina lyako mwisinagoge yimwi ni yimwi.
20 Mwizuba hakuitika malaha a Setefani ipaki yako, name bulyo nibazimene habumbali ninizumina, imi nibali kumamela zizabalo zabana babali kumwihaya.'
21 Kono nati kwangu, 'Yende, mukuti kanikutumine kule, kubantu bamasi angi.'
22-24 Bantu babamuzuminini kuwamba mane kwiza kusika heyo inako. Kono kuzwaho nibahuweleza hakando nibati, “Muntu yoswana nozo azwisiwe mukanda: mukuti kakuyelele kuti ahale.” Hababakwete kuhuweleza, kuzula ni kusohela kuna zizabalo zabo, ni kuganwina ibu muluhuho, muyendisi mukulwana wamasole nichalaela kuti Paulusi aletwe muzubo ikozezwe. Abalaeli kuti abuzwe nasupiwa, kokuti iye mwine alizibile kuti chinzi habahuweleza chakwe bulyo.
25-26 Linu heti chibamusumina kuti ashupwe, Paulusi nichati kumuyenzi wamasole yabazimene hembali naye, “Kena mulao kwako kushupa mukwame yeli Muroma nosaatulwa?” muyenzi wamasole hazuwa bulyo, abayendi kumuyenzi mukulwana wamasole nakamuwambila nati, “Chosaka kuchita chinzi? Mukuti uzu mukwame muzaki wa Roma.”
27-29 Muyenzi wamasole mukulwana abezi kwali namucho, “Honiwambile, kana umuzaki wa Roma?” Paulusi nati, “Ii”. Mulauli mukulwana wamasole netaba, “Ibali chakuliha bulyo masheleñi mangimangi chibaleti kuti niwane buzaki bwekanda.” Kono Paulusi nati, “Nibapepwa ninili muzaki wa Roma.” Kuzwaho bakwame babali kuyelele kumubuza nibamusiya chabuhweluhwelu. Muyenzi mukulwana wamasole naye abakutite, hazuwa kuti Paulusi ibali muzaki wa Roma, mukuti abamusumine kale.
30 Mwizuba litatama, muyenzi mukulwana wamasole abali kusaka kwiziba buniti kuamana ni zibanyasa Paulusi Majuda chazo. Chobulyo namusumununa mumawenge mwabasuminwe ni kulaela maprista bakulwana ni manduna kuti bakopane hamwina. Linu naleta Paulusi ni kumuzimika hakati kabo.
