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.

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.

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.
